Okay Listen. Do I Want Mike Wheeler To Be Vecnad? Hell Yes. I Think His Character Needs It, Honestly.

Okay listen. Do I want Mike Wheeler to be vecna’d? Hell yes. I think his character needs it, honestly. Do I think he will be? Probably not. See, he is almost always standing on the sidelines of another character going through something he can’t help with (The one exception being when he almost jumped off a cliff for Dustin)

(Will being possessed, El closing the portal and disappearing, Will and El disappearing or leaving, the whole final star court mall fight, etc.)

He is almost never the one in the most direct danger. Even in the newest season he was benched and had to play support again.

The Duffers seem content with this formula (one thing they rely heavily on) and I don’t think it’s going to change. Which is sad because I think his character could honestly thrive from being Vecna’d and finally being the one in the most direct danger.

I could write a god damn essay on the Wheelers. And I might. I might. I might write a little essay on them and their god damn nuclear family.

Can we talk about Johnathan Byers for a second?? Can you imagine how hard it is to be that sexy and amazing all the time?? How does he do it??

Stumbles out of google docs covered in blood

Yes!! I’m sorry he was what? 12? Maybe it’s my aromanticisum speaking but kids that age don’t fall in love. They can have crushes (which I don’t think is what was happening with Mike TBH) but they don’t fall in love.

Him feeling guilty is much more likely and much more in character. Also makes sense as he almost as if he owes El something.

Broke: Mike was so devastated after El disappeared in season one because he was in love with her.

Woke: Mike felt extremely guilty for essentially using El to find Will and being mean to her at times because he actually started to care for her as a friend towards the end and he felt guilty that she sacrificed herself for him and his friends and it really weighed heavy on his mind because he felt that he didn't deserve that loyalty from El and that El deserved better, plus he literally SAW her "die" which is enough to fuck up any kid.

Totally off topic for my blog but I like to think the old man referenced in ‘the horror and the wild’ is the same old man from ‘the old witch sleep and the good man grace
