I like the idea of M22gate being the name for the teaser coming out on wills birthday.

It reminds me of Mileven (like M11 yknow) except we're doubling down against the haters

does anyone else have like an absurd amount of freckles? I have 33 on my left arm & 40 on my right, more on my legs that I don’t feel like counting, more on my back, some in places we won’t talk about, and a few on my face

I actually love the irony behind the ending of the PXG match. Kaiser left Ness thinking that Ness would only drag him down, but in reality, it was Kaiser dragging Ness down. It was Kaiser's inability to keep up with Ness that cost him the final goal, and not the other way around

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

So I’ve seen a lot of people talking about evidence of possessiongate…but has anyone talked about THE TRUE PAIN OF IT?

It’s almost like it’s churcgate reversed. Imagine Mike quickly catching on to Vecna being in his head in s5, and telling the others, then proceeding to completely isolate himself from everyone. Locking himself in his bedroom. Going out by himself at night. Being generously reckless because he needs Vecna out.

And the others are so so worried. Especially Will. Because he knows what it’s like. And he wants to help Mike, but every time he tries, Mike snaps at him. Just like he does with everyone else. But sometimes, if he’s lucky, Will can see a piece of the real Mike breaking through. A small smile. A hand gripping his arm gently. A soft “Will…”. But he can’t ever say what he really means.

Anyways, eventually, Mike loses it. He’s terrified he’s going to hurt someone. El…Holly…Will. He would never forgive himself. So, one night, when everyone’s asleep, he slips out and goes to the Quarry. You know, the same one where he nearly committed suicide? And he just stands there. For a long time, feet less than an inch away from the edge. The only thing that’s stopping him is vecnas influence.

Back at the house where everyone is, Will is the first to wake up and notice Mike’s absence. He panics and immediately wakes up Jonathan, who wakes up Nancy, and they go out and search for him. It takes them a long time. Will is on the verge of giving up and breaking down. But then they see a figure standing at the edge of the Quarry. It’s Mike.

Will cries out. Mike doesn’t move. Nancy calls his name. Nothing. Mike just stands there. “I can’t do it,” he says. “Mike…get away from the edge,” Nancy says quietly. “I can’t do it, he won’t let me,” Mike sobs.

Anways should I make a fic on this???

Mike and Will have emotional arcs in Season 5...

It isn't clear whether this is true (which I'm totally fine with! I don't want to ruin the suspense). But if this is true, El Mike and Will "leading the final season" is kind of huge for Byler Nation.

Because remember this quote from Shawn Levy:

Stranger Things isn't just about flashy action and monsters; it's about the emotional arcs its characters go through. They must battle their internal demons to "become heroes" to confront external ones.

Season 4x9 had possessions and snapping limbs, but at its core it was about:

Max confronting her guilt over Billy's death

El defying Brenner

Lucas rejecting "the cool crowd"

And yes, Mike "confessing his love"

Mike, El, and Will being the leads in s5 means THEIR EMOTIONAL ARCS come to the fore this season as well...

It's already confirmed Will's emotional arc "will tie the series together."

So what on earth could Mike's emotional arc be this season? Hmmm?

And what do Mike, El, and Will have to resolve, in order to band together?

And how on earth do Will and Mike manage to band together, when Will's canonical love for Mike, the Painting Lie, and not coming out to him are huge dangling plot threads? When David Bowie's "Heroes" is canonically associated with these two?

I'll wait!

you ever think about how mike, a teenager, a fourteen year old one to be exact, was able to keep his head during a shootout and even help their protector by updating him on his blindspots. and continued to give out orders even as their protector was bleeding out beneath them. god nerfed mike by giving him negative athletic skills because if he had any even 1% athleticism in his body he would simply be too powerful

I may or may not have just turned my brain 360° while doing a backflip, I HAVE A THEORY.

This'll be a long shot so please be patient until it starts to make sense. Also i tried to use short words. 😇

So lets establish this, Henry(Vecna) goes around Hawkins dressed as a 'gentleman' calling himself Mr. Whatsit. That is a reference to A Wrinkle in Time (AWIT). We have gotten multiple references to AWIT in the show so it's not surprising.

He's quite literally talking to Holly here

They've got similar powers BUT she is a good person, unlike Henry, which tells me he is putting on a mask and going around Hawkins getting multiple children and getting them to the UD, putting them in a trance and making them go into a sort of 'Alice in Wonderland' world.

You could even say he's sending them to the Camazotz. Another reference to AWIT.

A seemingly perfect world. Which would make sense because in AWIT Mrs. Whatsit helps the main characters rescue people from the Camazotz, but again lets not forget that Henry is just pretending. Pretending that he'll put them into an amazing world, they won't be in Hawkins, the town where calamity has struck down and monsters are roaming free, NOPE.

And this is slowly where we get to the 'action' part in my theory.

So we know that the WSQK radio station is hosted by Robin and Steve, it's more of a LOCAL radio station, specially broadcasting music to Hawkins residents. Now I believe that they're doing this because of the Vecna'ing.

They don't want people to get Vecna'd, they don't want to take that risk of him getting that power again so they play music all over Hawkins radios. Even taking requests just in case it'll help a person get out of the Vecna'ing process.

Oh but now the problem is that children are going MISSING? Including Holly *cough cough*.

So you're telling me, there are multiple children in the UD? OH WHATEVER WILL THEY DO.

The WSQK van has a literal antenna built inside of it. What could it possibly be for? Yup that's right, a large antenna CATCHING radio waves from a large distance. Where will they go with it?

To the UD, hence the photo of Jonathan screaming as they fall with the Van into the UD. (Also the interdimensional signal must be weak so no wonder they got a big ass antenna)

Including the poster saying 'THE RIDE THAT CAN SURVIVE THE UPSIDE-DOWN'

Now, i believe that they'll drive through the UD. Fast, so no creature can catch up to them, since it can survive the UD. And loud, so the children in trances will WAKE UP. (and possibly for distraction, because we know how Eddie distracted all those bats)

OH? Kind of sounds like,

Mike must find his missing sister, going on an adventure into the UD (including the tunnels). The group later discovers that the children are being held in the UD inside of a trance, inside of Camazotz, which has been overcome by the Darkness. (a force that is controlling all the children through mind control)

Also the 6th episode is LITERALLY called :

'Escape from the Camazotz'

Take this as you will.
