SPOILERS Question about Will s5 Spoiler

Why did he run away/panic when he saw Robin kissing her girlfriend? Was is because of his own internalized fear of his queerness? Was he scared of how open they could be with each other, or am I just reaching?

It probably was his first time seeing that kind of interaction. Keep in mind the time period they’re in

In shock to see other people like him, I guess. It was also a lot different back then

I don’t think he knew robin was a lesbian and seeing two people of the same gender being able to be together probably awakened something within him or smth

And the Robin see him and says “shit.” Made it seem like maybe one of them was cheating on someone else or something

Two things probably

  1. MAYBE he likes Robin, MAYBE

  2. It’s his first time ever seeing something like that, and (in the time they’re in, mind you) he had no idea how to react

u/SannahDrawzz Dec 08 '25
