The Mind Flayer - Tumblr Posts

Knowing what we know now about Vecna, you HAVE to admit that Billy was an absolute badass for looking this thing dead in the eye and going FACE TO FACE with it. He must've been so scared, and Vecna called him weak and fragile. But that's Henry's ego talking. He put down El too when she refused to join him. Billy was powerful in this moment. With a little help from El, he was able to break Vecna's mind control and stand up to him. A measly human, with LITERALLY NO IDEA of what exactly he was facing. (Eddie and Robin were still brought into the fold and had an idea of what was going on.)
And for that, I say rock on Billy Hargrove. You're a hero too. You saved lives too.
I don't get this shit meme, I love Episode 7, it warms my lil punk heart. I'm disappointed that Eleven isn't going to continue being a punky badass.

I'm wondering if the Demogorgon and Mind Flayer's fear of fire is a possible reflection of Brenner's own fear of fire. I wonder why he's afraid of it and what happened to him.
