Dragons and Tigers

So I know it’s well established that Will has been associated with tigers since pretty much season one. First it was with very similar tiger stuffies with El and Sarah (This is still something that I’m wondering why exactly they made that initial connection between the three of them.) It adds to my belief that El and Will are tied in some way, and that Hawkin’s Lab may have more involvement in Sarah’s sickness/care/death than we were originally led to believe. But I digress.

And then in season four tigers are everywhere in relation to Will.

First we see it when he’s introduced:

Then we see it all throughout his room:

I am sure there are way more instances I missed, but these are just a few examples. There is also the fact that Hawkins school team are the tigers.

Anyway, from what I’ve gathered I think that Vecna (or his great evil) is represented by the dragon.

I think that it’s interesting that Will chose to draw the party fighting a dragon. And so I did a little light research into it with the thought okay, so how are dragons and tigers related? What’s the significance of the symbolism? And then I came across this:

And this really stuck out to me because a lot of theories revolving around Will potentially having powers have him as light vs. Henry’s darkness, creation vs. destruction etc. So if Will is connected to El in some way or ends up having powers I really am starting to think that he (or him and El as one) will be the tiger. I think that’s what the connection between him and Henry is. They are two sides of the same coin, yin and yang. That is why he can never escape him. But as of now things are out of balance because Will hasn’t realized his full role and significance to his connection to the Upside Down and Henry. So I truly think that there will be something in season 5 brought to light that tells us he is the “key” to bringing equilibrium back to the Upside Down. He can heal what Henry has destroyed. He can bring balance back, and reset the Upside Down to it’s neutral state.

But because of this significant connection to Henry, I think there’s going to be some sort of temptation or trickery. Some sort of darkness pulling at him that he’ll have to overcome. I think that Henry will try his damnedest to use his self-worth, sexuality, and trauma against him. I think he will use Mike against him as well.

It also makes me wonder if Will x El’s “Wonder Twin” connection ends up being what we’ve all been hoping it will be maybe together they are the “key” or “The Tiger.” And that’s why El hasn’t been able to succeed against Henry as of yet.

and there is nothing in this world, absolutely nothing, that will ever change that

when erica was little, very little, she would always go after lucas and copy everything he does. it made lucas very annoyed, and his mom would always say "It's because you're her idol", in present time he sometimes still wonders if that's true

Just curious

Why do you guys ship Steddie? 🤔

Breaking my silence on a difficult topic because I refuse to believe this is actually a difficult topic, so I’m just going to talk about it willy nilly

It’s a shame that we have to work to normalise things that are already normal, but hey, that’s the internet age for ya. So: there will be mention of sexual topics in this post; read on if you are emotionally mature (or if you’re not), if you’re curious, nervous, interested, open-minded or feeling frustrated about the puritanical gatekeeping surrounding the portrayal of Byler’s sexuality in Stranger Things.  

Let’s begin…

…with heroesbyler’s Always Sunny reference, cos its hella hilarious. 

(THE FACT THAT DENNIS DREW OUT EACH LETTER AGAIN ON EVERY PAGE SO HIS ACROSTIC WOULD COME TOGETHER IN A VISUALLY PLEASING WAY. Dennis how long did you spend on this presentation?!)

So I got to thinking about the Sunny episode where the gang goes to therapy (‘The Gang Gets Analysed’). One character, Mac, sees a pen on the coffee table and immediately picks it up, making an abrupt and unprompted phallic association.

Why is it so cold today

boys don't cry

a concept: s5 promo, a gif-poster or a clip, we see Will’s face from the side, eyes open and vulnerable, a familiar pale hand with long fingers resting on his cheek

then the picture shifts, Will’s open eyes turn white, hand turns into Vecna’s claw-like fingers.

do you see the vision
