#time jump arc

[aerequets]

okay Yor/garden arc finally yes yay, but I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT'S SHOPKEEPER'S HAIR 😭😭😭 I have dead ass argued about this before saying it was netting. Oh the shame

[shigayokagayama]

sorry maybe one day ill stop being mad about how the anime adapted the confession arc but today is not the day because im stuck thinking about how much of a blunder it was not to include this page

because like. to me this was the thing that defined my reading of this arc. this was the moment that made me go "oh, this isn't mob unconsciously doing this, this is someone else"

so then when you read through the rest of it you share mob's frustration. why are all these people treating this thing like it's mob? this isn't mob. this is some dangerous entity puppeting his body and hurting people! mob would never do this!

and then

oh.

oh.

this is mob.

this is mob as much as the teru who nearly killed someone who refused to fight back just because they didnt share his worldview is teru. this is mob as much as the ritsu who hurt dozens of people weaker than him just because he could is ritsu. this is mob the way the reigen who lied to him for years is reigen.

the part of you that lashes out and hurts people when you're scared or hurt or frustrated isnt some other scary thing that you have to control.

it's just you.

but people still love you.

Will isn't going to have a secondary love interest in Season 5. He's already involved in one love triangle (Will-Mike-El) why would the writers develop a second one?

I could make a lot of narrative arguments as to why I don't see this happening but ultimately it boils down to this: There's no time.

The show is in its last season. The Duffers have already said they're shifting away from adding new romances (Byler is not a new romance, it's been built-up over the whole show) and new characters (few exceptions like Linda Hamilton have been added). They need to wrap up storylines for at the very least 12+ main characters (not to mention side characters). Point being: the cast is stacked enough as is. They don't have time to create a new love interest for Will, especially if it's not a character he's going to end up with in the end. If they wanted to add a new love interest for Will, they would've started it in Season 4.

Will is the main character next season, and he already has a lot going on:

His connection with Vecna and the Upside Down (this will largely take up most of his plot since it'll be the central plot line)

Will getting Upside Down flashbacks from 1983 (like El did in S4 with her flashbacks of Hawkins Lab)

New friendship/mentorship with Robin (and Vickie)

Coming out arc to his family and friends

Contending with his love for his best friend (including the painting lie reveal coming to fruition)

Will has more than enough going on this season.

Also narratively-speaking, I'm sorry but there's no way Will is going for a jock who's bullying Dustin and likely him and his other friends by extension (for being associated with Dustin/The Hellfire Club). That's just wildly out-of-character for Will. And they have zero time to develop some tertiary bully character.

Also adding a secondary love interest for Will at this stage would undermine the central focus of Will's love for Mike, which they're building up over the course of the whole show. We know this isn't a crush, Will is in love.

The most we'd get is maybe a scene of a male character expressing interest in Will, to see Mike's jealous response, or to have Will turn him down to reassert to the audience Will's love for Mike.

TLDR; The ST writers are in crunch time with the final season and don't have time to waste on a secondary love interest plot device.

Pac: I'm- I'm worried about it! Oh, I don't want to be locked up again! I don't want to be kidnapped again, you know? I don't want to be in prison! [He starts hyperventilating] I just want to do what they told me to do!

Tubbo: [Overlapping] No one will know you did that! No one will know.

Fit: Yeah, that's not gonna happen! It's not gonna happen, it's ok.

Pac: It might happen! It might happen! It happened with my friend! It happened with my son! Why wouldn't it happen with me? [Sighs]

Tubbo: There's gotta be someone left to hold down the fort!

Fit: That's right, you gotta stay strong!

Pac: I'm the weakest of all, you know? I'm the weakest of all the Favela.

Fit: You're not the weakest Pac, don't say that.

Tubbo: I mean, you were happy when we were chatting before about about the railway? Maybe- maybe there's other- other places to find joy, other than a briefcase full of very... unlabeled pills?

In the original storyboards and script, Brooklynn was supposed to have a panic attack while feeding Gordon the Compsognathus in one scene; she's pretty cool with him in the final cut, though. In another possible draft (from the novelization), she lures a Nasutoceratops out of its pen with apples, treating it gently. In the final show, she dives to push a companion out of the way. Regardless, she still drives through dinosaurs and seems to be without fear.

Obviously, when Red comes out and menaces her in the studio, she's terrified. But then...she's playing with him. She's confident and more than capable as soon as she knows how he works. She's still shaken when she sees him show up on Soyona's orders to execute and underling, but her fear is understandable, because she's still watching a dude die, and it's unpleasant and horrific. She's still not wholly shaken by dinosaurs.

But here? Seeing Red terrifies her. There's no laser pointer, no summons, he just sneaks up behind her and surprises her--and she goes ifull panic mode. Drops the case, falls on the ground, crawls backwards, unable to voice words. She fully regresses, all of the confidence and adjustment and logic lost to total panic.

Because something changed between the time she got attacked and the time she met Red...or rather, she met someone else. Someone who reminded her, face to face, of who she used to be. Who she once was. And what she lost.
