MOSTLY A’s: You are WILL BYERS, and you do not have a snowball’s chance in hell with Finn Wolfhard, but that’s okay, because your mom loves you and one day she’s going to build a gay club in your small midwestern town brick by brick with her own two hands and you will go there and meet a nice guy.

MOSTLY B’s: You are EDDIE KASPBRAK. You may be dead, but on the internet, at least, two men may fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fanfiction allows, and in this sense, you and Finn Wolfhard still roam the greenwood on AO3.

MOSTLY C’s: You are THEO DECKER. Man, what’s wrong with you? Just nut up and put a ring on it already. Are you dead? No. Is your Finn Wolfhard locked in a deeply loving and committed relationship with the female protagonist of your show? No. You’re in an apartment in Brussels together with hundreds of thousands of dollars and literally no commitments. Get it in.
