WILL HAS POWERS - MORE EVIDENCE -- THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL... LITERALLY

Yall ready for this? *dances*

So ya know how in the very beginning of season 4 ep 1, Brenner is shown talking to 010 in the lab room in a flashback? And what Brenner's doing is DRAWING on a paper (with Crayola crayons) and asking 010 to tell him what he's drawing by using his powers, not by looking?

Okay, now keeping that in mind, you know how the upside down is stuck in Nov 6, 1983? So when characters are in the upside down version of Hawkins, they can't see any physical changes that have been made to Hawkins since that very day (and probably second) Will went missing? As shown when Nancy goes to her house in the upside down in s4, and she doesn't have any guns and everything is completely frozen to that snapshot in time?

This Means there is no way when Will was stuck in the upside down in season 1, that he could have seen the alphabet letters Joyce wrote on the wall for him, because it was after Nov 6 that she did that. And yet he somehow saw them? When they couldnt have shown up in the UD? There is no way he saw them, unless......

The writers screwed up

...... unless......

Will has powers that are the exact same as those demonstrated by 010. 010 sees drawings, Will sees the letters.

Let's look a little further here, at just some parallels that reinforce Will's similarities to this scene.

Parallel #2

What does papa draw first? The sun. Will is associated with what? Light, and the color yellow. In Will's scene where he communicates with the letters Joyce wrote on the wall, he uses what as a medium? Lights. Further establishing a connection between these two characters, and these two scenes.

Now let's look at the context of the scenes and a parallel with vecna (who's will's evil brother from another mother, apparently).

Parallel #3

What happens after papa asks 010 to identify the objects he drew? Papa then asks him to look and see what is happening in the other rooms. 010 sees signs of henry creel/01's massacre (red, blood) and tells papa about it. So basically 010 acts as a spy who warns papa of the danger that is vecna. Will does the same when he warns others of the mindflayer, particularly mike, who's the one who called Will a "spy" in season 2. Oh, and mike and Brenner just so happen to be heavily paralleled together these season.

Parallel #4

What does 010 like to use to answer to papa before he goes in the private room to run tests? A magic eight ball. Those are known to magically give answers about any question you have, especially if it involves an event that will happen in the future. 010 likely purposely controls the answer. What does Will have in his self portrait as Will the Wise? A blue crystal ball. What do crystal balls do? They either reveal what is going on in another place, or another time, particularly in the future. And will displays his ability to show things that are not physically present through his drawings, and he potentially predicts the future with his drawings. DnD also predicts the future, which he clearly plays and is the most obsessed over playing out of the friend group (at least in s3). Atleast, he's the most dedicated. Dedicated for life. Basically, magic 8 balls and crystal balls both show supernatural psychic shit.

Parallel #5

Now, jumping ahead to when Lucas and Max are in the creels house and waiting for vecna to come. Lucas and max show notes and DRAWINGS to each other to communicate. What does vecna first say when he gets a hold of Max's mind after that? "You think i dont see everything you're doing?" Either he's bluffing here about it and wasn't actually able to read the notes (he could only read their minds), or he really is able to see what they wrote along with everything else they were doing, which we as an audience know woukd be thanks to his POWERS.

Basically, Will can't have seen Joyce's letters on the wall without powers. Only one character has been able to see what people were drawing in the real world while they were in the upside down, and that's Vecna, and he used his mind powers to do it. And 010 is a character that perfectly encapsulates and reminds the audience of the idea that one CAN in fact read things between the UD and the real world (since he can read it from the void), but only with powers.

Parallel #6

And on top of that, they deliberately show that Papa is using Crayola crayons to draw for 010, and Joyce specifies in season 2 that she got Will Crayola crayons for his birthday.

---------------------------------

Why would they purposely show a character (010) reading random drawings, of all things, when they could have shown him doing something else, unless it's foreshadowing?? He could have been doing any other puzzle, he could have been identifying photos like Brenner did for El in season 1 flashbacks to the lab, but no, it's drawings. I think the writers want to show us that it is only possible to see what someone in the real world is writing/drawing if one has powers.

Also, I mean come on, they purposely threw in a completely new character just for the beginning of the show, who's a polite and quiet kid, and right off the bat associate him with drawings, powers, the sun, and vecna. Will is in one way or another associated with all those things too.

Idk what powers Will will have, how much they will tie into time/the upside down. Can he control the UD or the future with his drawings? What is he capable of seeing in the UD? What can he reveal? Idk what I'm saying anymore lol but I want to see him with powers!!! I want to knowwwww

~sorry this was sloppy~

To those interested, I have a post coming up about birth and memories and will/el!!! This post was just actually an offshoot to some other theory I was thinking about (you know, came up with it while I paced around outside barefoot mumbling to myself about theories, normal things)

Sorry if this has been said before

Peace!!
