god the difference between hollonov’s heartwrenchingly beautiful coming out scene this episode and whatever the FUCK the duffers did to my boy will byers has given me the worst fucking whiplash of my life this christmas
#can’t win em all#having a queer asian character be accepted wholeheartedly by their parents is so special and personal to me sorry#and while so many queer viewers are sitting at home watching this in our childhood bedrooms#heated rivalry#stranger things#hollonov#byler#duffers im in your walls#stranger things season 5#shane hollander
was having byler doubt but then remembered that when i told my straight teenage jock brother (who saw only s1 a few years ago) that will is in love with mike he stopped for like two seconds and then instantly said ‘oooh oh my god that’s why, i get it they’re so gay dude i see it’ before i even had the chance to offer proof
he then got excited bc ‘wills gay so now they can’t kill him’ …i fear he may be in for a rude awakening
