Don't know about y'all, but I am READY for fall. Like, seriously.

i recently rewatched s2 and i'm SO curious what unused plot ideas they could have possibly recycled for s5. because those ideas DO still have to fit the overall tone and plot of season 2 since that's what they were intended for, no matter how much you modify them. and the overarching plot of the season was Will being possessed and the sickness of the UD spreading through town... which are both concepts we could 100% see return in s5 with the set up s4 gave us

the possibilities of what they could have scrapped and put in store for later are endless, there's so much they could adapt for s5

Will getting possessed again is a real possibility or at least a concept that the characters will have to acknowledge, with Will back in town and his connection to Vecna still intact there's no way he won't at least get contacted soon. would that be a possession as intense as in s2? MORE intense now that Will is older and Vecna is stronger? less intense and it's just Vecna trying to persuade him while he's still weakened? who knows but that concept is most likely showing up at some point in s5 tbh

along these lines i honestly also wouldn't be surprised if we got Will's flashes to the UD make a return. he's had them even before he got actually possessed and since he still has the connection to Vecna to begin with, the possibility of getting another terrifying scene where Will is suddenly in the UD halfway through? not unlikely

if that made a return we could also get another instance of Mike being the only one to snap him out of these. which would be a sweet callback in the final season. but in the spirit of adapting ideas to progress with the plot Mike could also snap Will out of a Vecna vision, true s2 style

then there's the whole deal about the pumpkins, tunnels, and spreading "virus" of the UD over town. and i'd bet money we're getting that in s5. there's 4 gates open, visions about monsters in the streets, direct mentions of Hawkins falling... yeah that's not happening over night, that will be slower, with the UD spreading all over town and infesting it. the town wouldn't fall one day to the next, it'll sink first. (also a potential tie in to s3 here with the flayed army. having the town want to hunt down most of our main cast for being satanists is going to create a "MCs against everyone" situation. the potential of the UD infesting or possessing people here again is also There tbh)

just hhkjfahdkjh, i've not been normal since they confirmed they're taking unused plotpoints from s2 into s5. that's one of my favourite seasons plot/vibe wise. the Potential for s5!!!

but seriously, Will's possession/UD visions and the spreading of the UD into the RSU are the central motives most plotpoints in s2 rely and build on in the first place. so we'll most likely get similar situations to those for the plotpoints of s2 to be usable again

Hello... I'm here to wreak havoc and give you a kiss >:3c 20 and 35 for Vaughn, 27 and 15 for Buck, 13 for Seb aaand 1 and 17 for good ol Florence

 hello!!! 

Vaughn: 

20. Does your oc have any pleasure that embarrasses them so they keep it secret? Or are they open about all the things they enjoy?

Vaughn might have been a bit embarrassed by his scholarly interests if he wasn’t surrounded by nerds! Hakria’s the only one who isn’t a Nerd (tm) but she’s always been nice to Vaughn so he doesn’t feel bad about being himself with her. 

35. How easily does your oc get attached to things? Does everything have a sentimental value to them, or do they see nothing as more valuable than its practical use? What about with people/animals?

If you looked up the word “sentimental” in the dictionary, you’d see a picture of Vaughn’s face. He gets attached to EVERYTHING, weapons and trinkets and people. Even moments that he finds memorable, he tries to memorialize into some kind of physical object that he can carry with him. The first time he properly encountered a Beast, he took a feather from it and attached some of the quills to his divine focus (he would’ve added the whole feather, but. man. it was a big fucking feather.) 

Buck: 

15. If you had to choose a single object to act as a symbol for your oc, what would it be? Why?

How DARE you ask this of BUCK, the GAUDIEST and most TRINKET-LADEN character I have! 

Mnnn I suppose I’d go with a golden tooth. Gets across his *~Vibe~* fine enough.

27. How flexible is your oc? Can they touch their toes or do they have trouble just sitting down because of how stiff they are?

Buck’s stunningly limber, he can touch his toes easily. He needs to be fairly nimble to be able to, like, not Die, but he’s also just kind of naturally flexible. He makes lots of sex jokes about it lmao 

Seb: 

13. What is your oc’s immune system like? Are they invincible to illness, or are they compromised completely from the slightest of dirt?

Seb gets sick EVERY year, sometimes twice a year. The flu knocks him out for a week during the autumn almost on schedule, and he gets summer colds too. I wouldn’t describe him as sickly by any means, but when he gets sick he’s down for a couple days. 

Florence: 

1. How does your character sleep? Peacefully, fitfully? What position do they sleep in? What is their typical bedding like?

Florence sleeps like the dead. She doesn’t move. Usually she sleeps on her back, and snores a little bit, though sometimes you can catch her on her stomach. That’s usually in the summer when she’s especially hot, though, with all the blankets kicked off. Otherwise, she sleeps with a simple blanket or two, she doesn’t like a lot of weight. Weighted blankets are her HELL. 

17. How prepared is your oc? Ready for the worst no matter what, or completely lost in every situation? Would they have a medkit when it was needed? Would they have an umbrella if it rains?

Florence is... generally moderately prepared. She’d be the type to carry a utility knife, but not bring an umbrella. She’s got her basics down, she’s not gonna be caught without some basic first aid and a knife in her bag for a hike but she might forget to bring her trail mix, yknow? Her “prepared” is what she carries all the time, so she’s got a strong baseline but never really seems 100% put together.
