we need more "Oh, good, you're here" *passes out into Q's arms* kind of situations

[sermna]

there's a few fun twists in SWOJ and it's. it's killing me to wait to talk about it because they're pretty cool if I do say so myself 👉👈

I put a lot of work into making sure that, once all the information is revealed, it makes sense. No plot holes, no hand waving, nothing left to scratch your head at (at least not in terms of main plot; there's room for speculation about some other stuff because that's fun)

taking tiny fragments of stuff I made up years or even a decade ago and making a solid story out of it has taken a long time but it was so so worth it

also enjoy a repaint 👍

S5 opener REAL

[kakusu-shipping]

you definitely had a fair point on the Harley giggles honestly. He IS a nuisance and I love him sfm, thank you for making your point 🙂‍↕️

FHGHDFJGSDKFG I JUST

I think it's such a silly character trait for MOB to give to one of their Biggest Bads. Here's a man with no empathy, a guy who's lack of care for other humans caused so much suffering, who sees ones worth in what they can provide to him specifically. Also he giggles like a school girl at closing and locking a door you were about to walk through.

Like that's the kinda prank my niece thought was funny when she was FIVE. She's SEVEN and she's outgrown it. But THIS GUY still find it HYSTERICAL to mildly inconvenience someone and it just. It adds so much character to him for ME.

Sorry for hijacking your post to say that, you are so nice dgkjdfjgdfk

If I may...

Inquire...

Whys your symbol a crescent moon?

Also I am taking your drink.

"Good question! I will be honest, I myself am unsure."

it is the the soft moonlight leading the young turtle to the comforting sea

"I've never really thought of questioning why it's that way. That symbol has always belonged to me, and will forevermore be me."

telling the small one "it's alright! follow this way, and you'll be safe. i promise."

"There must be a reason why- especially concerning its relationship with the choices of the other symbols- but I'm afraid that the reasoning is something currently beyond me."

even as it disappears into the overwhelming light of the day, it will always be there to watch over it, hoping and praying for its security

"...or perhaps there's not much to it? After all, why are you humans formed the way you are? Such a fascinating question."

...

"Oh, and feel free to take as many drinks as you like! It is quite fun to make them, I'll happily create more if need be."

[hopefullydreaming]

okay so I don’t have coherent thoughts bc when do I ever but, I just keep thinking about doctor who and how like, bringing David and Catherine back allowed a reset?? of sorts?? so ncuti can be this fun doctor not carrying so much weight and yet it’s still not all brushed over and like probs will be addressed but it’s not going to be as dark a character as 10 maybe?? and also we get to finally see a happy ending for the doctor and companion which is stunning and beautiful and just. yeah. it’s just rlly rlly NICE like idk what else to say I know some people are like there’s no need to bring them back it’s mediocre it’s fanservice it’s not enough fan service well IT WORKED FOR THE TRANSITION AND THE EMOTIONAL IMPCT AND WAS UN AND THATS WHAT I WANTED SO THERE

Willel Twins Crumbs Because Why Not

Subtitles for the news report stop at this point for this scene, so I will provide them:

Can you remember your favorite stuffed toy from childhood?

And how heartbroken you were when it left your life?

Then you’ll relate to the story, of a girl named *unintelligible*

So right from the jump, directly after the opening credits, we are being bombarded with shots of keys and Hopper showing off his blue bracelet and his watch. We know the bracelet was actually a ponytail that belonged to his daughter Sarah, however I think the importance of this scene runs a lot deeper.

It might not seem important, but the dialogue in the background also connects to not only Sarah, but to Will and El too.

As we know, Sarah had a stuffed Tiger on her bedside at the hospital during treatment for her cancer (also featuring the blue ponytail on Hopper's wrist).

As it turns out, Will and El also had a stuffed toy that was referenced in this same season, though they both had stuffed lions, in contrast to Sarah's stuffed tiger.

While it is understood by the majority at this time that these parallels exist only to jog Hopper's memory of his own daughters death, to give some more depth and impact to these moments, it still doesn't answer the question as to why these 3 kids all have the same stuffed toy to begin with? And apparently enough importance for them to drop an easter egg in the first 10 minutes of the show?

In the context of El for example, she has the stuffed lion because it was essentially the only meaningful toy in her possession while in the lab. Sure, she played with toys in the rainbow room and colored with crayons, but those were all things they were tasked to do to test out and improve the kids' powers. The lion in contrast, was simply there to operate as something more personal, tied to her innocence and a life she could have had outside of the lab. And yet at the same time, this being the only thing El had in the lab, gives its importance a tie to the lab itself, which is why I am so wary about this whole thing.

In the context of Will on the other hand, we don't really know much other than that it was shown a lot more than El and Sarahs' combined.

Will's lion and the prominence of it in s1, more than anything else, is what makes me think the meaning behind these parallels is so much more than how we currently understand it. Because while we assume right now he has no ties to the lab, the fact that this stuffed toy has ties to the lab for El and Sarah, begs to question why there was a need to focus on it so much in Will's case, when he was never in the lab pre-s1 (or was he?)...

Which then brings us to Sarah, where you might think her case has no ties to the lab, but it does!

Sarah received treatment for her cancer at Hawkins Lab. This is something so many people either overlook and don't know about, or forget and just brush off as being insignificant, which I just cannot fathom.

It would be one thing if this was common knowledge in canon and actually spoken about, with Hopper talking about how it's not his first time here, and yet they don't make any effort to establish that. All we got is this stairwell shot of Hopper mourning Sarah's death, in the same stairwell at Hawkins Lab, which we see not only referenced in s1, but also s2 and s4.

Yeah... Owens knows exactly who that is. Let's not forget he's the one who, in another universe (Aliens) signed a document back in 79' that led the death of a lot of people...

So... what's the deal? Why has there been such an effort to put in easter eggs to allude to something unanswered related to Hopper's memories of Sarah, often triggered by instances regarding Will and El, who have almost identical stuffed animals to his daughter's, all tying them to the lab to some extent, and without that being touched on at all by the writers outside of the show?

Well, probably because there's still one season left and this plays a big part in the key to everything...

I apologize in advance for everyone trying to make threads with me/withers. This bitch. He's never gonna give a direct answer. He's always gonna be vague af and that's... Incredibly difficult to respond to and write with. So never feel pressured to respond if you have no idea where to go
