#will byers villain arc

I’m not insane to think Sorcerer is about Will having powers, right? Oh please tell me I’m right

little sneaky peek/sketch

[hes-a-bit-of-a-prat]

After the week he spent hiding in the Upside-Down, there was always something pulling at the back of Will’s neck. He had never told anyone - what could they do? But the closest metaphor he could compare it to was like an umbilical cord. Always present, pretty much giving him life as if he had been born there.

At the age of sixteen, Will hardly noticed it anymore. It was a lot more of an issue keeping it a secret when he was younger and fresh out of the Upside-Down and also when he got possessed by the Mind Flayer. But, now he had had time to get used to it, it didn’t bother him at all.

OR

Will's connection to the Upside Down was never broken and it is lacking a new leader.

omg omg this just gave me the thought what if he DOESN'T choke someone to LITERAL DEATH cause he does not need the guilt of that... And instead....

(adding this pic cause it looks like its from the same scene)

What if Vecna's influence on Will ramps up this season (like season 2) and he does find it hard to control himself so he does end up maybe choking someone until he's able to snap out of it...

And maybe that's why Will is sitting across from everyone in both of these scenes, for safety. If this is true it would break my heart--for Will to feel like he isn't trusted... But at the same time it ties in with the Will Villain Arc many have been hoping for.

nope dont want this...please duffers stop making my boy suffer 😭

Since I watched S4 i'm confident that Will Byers won't be killed in the last season, why would you make him suffer such horrible things since s1 just to fucking kill him at the end? he's practically not had a moment of peace EVER since the show started

Some people saw his storyline in S4 and think he's gonna confess to his best friend and Mike's gonna be like "ok bro I accept you but No Homo, okay? We can still be friend though" and then Will's gonna die traumatized and unloved, ARE YOU CRAZY?

After reading the scrips n*ah said he will have a happy ending and I believe it, it's what makes sense after all.

If Will decides to join Vecna in season 5, I'm rooting for the villains.

Will Byers in the summer of 1985 had to deal with his cool older brother being lovesick, his best friend (crush) ignoring him for a new girl, and was third wheeling every day.

HE IS STRONGER THAN ME

no longer sad wet cat now i am evil

[whenbluemeetsyellowinthewest]

will byers could have a villain arc and brutally, violently murder everyone on the planet and i would still be like “slay bby girl”

[bitofanupsidedowner]

there aren’t remotely enough words in the english language to even come close to properly communicating how VERY LITTLE i want will to have a villain arc 

[zer0brainc3lls]

HE JUST WANTED A PROPER HUG FROM HIS BEST FUCKING FRIEND WHO HE IS LOWKEY IN LOVE WITH AND HASNT HEARD FROM HIM IN FOREVER BUT JUST RECIEVES THE MOST AWKWARD SIDE HUG. i would scream with joy at a will byers villain arc just from this scene alone ngl. or just a will villain arc. please. pretty please.

the real question is why did mike have no problem with hugging dustin but with will it was so akward and he basically didnt hug him at all???

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MIKE WHEELER

What If part 3

Okay, okay, I had an idea that is very sad but I’m kinda rooting for it so just hear me out. What if the party is doing some inspector gadget shit and the party decides to split up in to groups of two. Lucus & Dustin, Mike & Will, etc. So while Will and Mike are doing some inspector shit—Will starts to get a headache and his nose starts bleeding-basically what happened to Max. Now before Mike notices, Will runs out of the room ‘cause he knows exactly what’s happening. Mike gets all confused and worried so he chases after him. But instead of Mike finding Will sitting cross legged and shit, Will isn’t there. Will keeps running and running until he reaches the wreckage that is castle Byers. Then everything goes red and shit and Vecna appears. Vecna has a whole speech and yada yada. So Vecna tries to take control over Will but he fights it. He thinks about all the good memories of hanging out in Mike’s basement, listening to music with Johnathan, playing D&D. But then Vecna makes him remember all the bad stuff like, bullies, “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls”, everyone forgetting about him. And Will starts to wonder if Vecna has a point. Vecna starts to turn all Will’s good memories rotten by reminding him about how he will never be able to hang out with Mike again if Mike thinks he’s gay and shit like that. So Vecna eventually wears Will down and starts to take control over him. By now the whole party is looking for Will and are desperately trying to contact the others to help find him. But they don’t find him in time and Will gets snatched by Vecna….introducing the Will villain arc.💀👹😈👻

Just imagine if that happens!!!!

Will Byers main character of season 5 “emotional arc tying up the show”, mysterious connection to the main villain AND the supernatural lore, “it started with Will and it’ll end with Will”, outstanding questions surrounding his disappearance which kicked off the entire show coming full circle, written for seasons as slowly falling in love with his best friend and that point being driven home extremely hard the season before His season….that Will Byers….is NOT ending up with some random side character lol. If you think that’s the most likely outcome I’m sorry but you haven’t been paying attention.

Like truly how do people envision that scenario? Will spends the season going through presumably life changing events grappling with his identity and fighting these deadly supernatural forces alongside the people he’s most closely bonded with in the entire world including his best friend who he is literally in love with and who’s relationship with him is obviously going to be important, full on saving the world in conjunction with his personal coming of age…and then when it’s over he just trots off with cute guy #373848 who has fuck all to do with any of this, or with the story of the show, who Will absolutely would not have had time to build a convincing relationship with given all of the above. A few scenes of what, someone flirting with him? Being nice, being friendly? does not an endgame make for someone who’s not only the main focus of the season but integral to the core mystery of the show. The love interest of a character like that would need to be front and centre alongside him (oh wait…..).

And in what universe could random new side guy compare to and in fact overtake - because that’s what they’d have to pull off - the depth of his relationship with the boy he currently loves, his best friend?? There’s no time or set up for that. Will is a main character. Even Robin - who I adore but she does play a much more minor role - gets a two season love interest who’s involved with the main cast, and don’t get me started on all the complex multi season straight relationships.

An endgame relationship for Will was never going to be an afterthought. The sentiments of I hope the Duffers are brave enough to go for Byler or they’ll just give Will someone else makes no sense to me because this has been planned for YEARS �� they were not making season 4 with their minds undecided about Mike and Will’s fate. They were not sitting in the writer’s room like oooh this is fun and messy let’s just slap in this major plot point between two main characters and figure out why tf we did it at a later date.

They made Will, the boy at the centre of everything, love Mike so intensely while actively not presenting a single other viable option (and having him grouped up with Mike yet again next season), KNOWING from the first introduction of Will’s feelings how it was going to turn out. If they planned all along for him to end up with someone else, there would be set up (à la Rovickie but honestly more than that, probably someone who could’ve taken Argyle’s place, or at the VERY least show signs of him letting Mike go). Meanwhile by s4 finale, there’s no other candidate in sight and his heart remains with Mike more devoted than ever like ?????

Will is important. His love is important. I’m so over people trying to downplay the legitimacy of his emotions toward Mike. Gay characters feelings aren’t disposable just because they inconvenience a straight ship, and the Duffers didn’t put Will in this position without an end goal in mind. You decide what makes more sense with what they’ve shown us so far. If you can see the threads (and not see certain other threads) it’s for a reason. Writing is intentional.
