When using the word "soulmate", I mean genuine soulmate. Supernatural unexplainable connection between one and another. Everything about the bond really makes no sense and all the sense at the same time.
WillEl platonic soulmateism is not about "They're SUCH close friends and siblings omg more friends than anyone else legit"
It's about the fact that they seemingly never met each other in their whole lives, and yet El recognized him instantly in a picture.
It's that despite not knowing any of these people and NEVER meeting Will, she decided to put her all into finding him and figuring out a way to save him.
It's that we've only seen El communicate with people in the void in very odd and unusual circumstances and Will was one of those few weird unusual circumstances compared to everyone else.
How she happened to know everything that was happening to Will prior to coming back home in season 2.
How many knowing glances they exchange with one another in season 3 and 4.
It's different.
The minute you start comparing THAT to Mike and Will or El and Mike then you're already thinking about the entire situation WRONG.
Does Will have a supernatural connection to Mike? Uh no.
Does Will have a supernatural connection to Jonathan? Uhhhh no. By blood and family though, very much yes.
Even if Mike and Jonathan had powers or something, they STILL don't have that supernatural string of fate that seems to bind Will and El together. The back and forth they had in the first two seasons with one missing and the other present. Their mirrored scenes and similar circumstances.
Will and El didn't even need to be friends or siblings and they'd STILL be soulmates because of the supernatural plot of the show.
It's not about Will and El being besties or the best sibs evar. Will and El are referred to as platonic soulmates because of some weird preordained supernatural connection they've had since season 1.
This battle to decide who is closer to who is freakin' pointless because that's not even what platonic soulmates is about in WillEl's case. It's not a competition because there IS NOTHING TO COMPETE AGAINST.
The only people who come close to Will and El's dynamic in this way is Kali and El and Henry and El. I'm sure after reading all this, you'll understand why that is. You'll also understand why Will is likely connected to Henry too, further tightening the string of fate around Will and El.
And you know what's so fun about it??? That it's platonic! That it has pretty much nothing to do with their romantic lives. That is so rare in media and urgggg so satisfying. Like HUZZAH! There shan't be the cliche "our kiss will suddenly fix everything" bs or something like that. They'll have to be creative and come up with something cooler.
I hope you can understand how bothersome it is to see people reduce Will and El's bond down to "Actually, these two people are closer" when it has nothing to do with their closeness.
It's about how the world has brought these two seemingly random people together who strangely have all these similarities. It's just a mega bonus that they're not only friends, but also siblings.
They are soulmates. Plain and simple.

Also I just wanna make notice that Will was not getting bullied in Cali. In fact he even had people show interest in him. When Angela and co approach their table at rink-o-mania they don’t even take a look at Will, they definitely are aware of who he is but they don’t spare a look.
He is not a target anymore but the problem is that he continues to hang around Eleven who is now the target of the whole school, like he once was. He could have a “chance” at being normal and having friends but he’d rather stay loyal to her because he knows exactly how she feels and because he loves her so much. He’d rather sacrifice his happiness than hurt someone he loves.
So keep his name out of your mouth when you say he hates or even dislikes Eleven. He loves his sister and does everything he can to make her feel like normal and not a mistake. Something he has never felt in his life.

i feel so bad for lucas. he's made his intentions clear by joining the basketball team from the start. him, mike and dustin all said they wanted high school to be different and he's sticking by what they said. he just wants him and the gang to stop being bullied because they're outcasts... like he's not even doing it for himself; he's doing it for everyone.
then lucas said that mike and dustin coming to his big game was really important to him and yet they chose a campaign over him. he saw them exiting the hellfire club looking like they had an amazing time without him, like they didn't even care that he was there or not. he had no one - not a single person - come to support him. lucas' ambition and efforts to experience a better life is lowkey being punished by his friends.
he's also trying his best with max. he's being so concerned, gentle and understanding with her even though she's evidently been brushing him off for months. he won't give up on her. he offers her the ticket, sees her suffering and expresses his worries but doesn't get angry and push her. he's so patient and understanding.
lucas is trying his damn best. he's so underappreciated by his friends. he's trying to better himself whilst helping all of them and he deserves better.
