i cannot put into words how livid i am at the finale. i wasn't expecting byler to go canon, i wasn't even expecting mike to have a feelings realization. but what i did expect was that they would address will's sexuality in a *direct* way, and that will's queerness wouldn't be used to support mileven. they teased all that stuff about will having a crush on mike and they couldn't even have him say "i'm gay" during that scene with jonathan?? fuck the duffers.

i looooved volume 1 and i was SO excited for volume 2. this video was supposed to use a completely different song and style, because i thought they would handle will's storyline respectfully and that i could edit a happy/soft coming out video. but i don't know what song i'm supposed to edit for "character queerbaits the audience for 4 seasons and his crush's character development is thrown in the trash". i know the effects for this video are less detailed than what i normally do and that's because i can't edit these two for that long without getting angry, frustrated, sad, but most of all hurt.

part of me wants to compare this to supernatural and the magicians, even though it hurts so much to think we're still facing that level of queerbaiting in 2022. but part of me feels that this is somehow worse, because at least with those shows we knew that the characters were gay. castiel was allowed to say "i love you". quentin and eliot were allowed to kiss. will byers is just allowed to cry in the backseat of a van while his best friend ignores him.
