Mikhailgate (Enzo’s son being shipped with Will)

Gridgate (The smudge in the s5 whiteboard)

Pocketgate (Mike’s pocket that looked like an envelope)

Lettergate (Mike’s unsent letter(s) to Will)

revisited the grid seriously bc I didn't even try the first time I just shitposted lmao what do you think?

Purple is Eleven

Mike and Will are the Red stuff

Max's storyline is blue

the other colours are a mix of the teens and adults

in green we have the plot twist about what happened to Will the day he was taken

in black we have a drawing of the mindflayer

in red we have a drawing of the dragon

the red in episode 5 is Mike and Will and Eleven going in the upside down together

[blueandyellow7]

what am i forgetting??? i don't know if i got them all

[booksandpaperss]

*gently nudges you and Em* oh wow look

There’s also a literal grid pattern on the shirt max is in when she gets vecna’d 👀

@aemiron-main ignore that this is on my tv but there’s absolutely insane grid imagery in steve’s room. even the curtains blend into the grid wallpaper

[lordystrange]

I made this post because I wanted to make a poll about the gates but couldn’t remember them all. Thanks to you people I can now make not just one but several polls, because there are so many options. So here’s Round 1 and Poll 1:

I will make Round 1 Poll 2 right away and Round 2 once the results from both of these are in, so stay tuned! 😎

[nowmemoriees]

ok so here's my little analysis

first, I tried to identify what looked the most like drawings instead of words or phrases

OPEN THE PICS FOR A BETTER QUALITY

then I wrote some key words to find

and I separated the grid pic in parts so it would be easier to look

the words between () are key names and words from the list

episodes 3-6

episodes 7-8

the way almost all of episode 7 was previously censored means that there's something huge in there. It's definitely the most important episode of the season. It was a seven.

episodes 1-3 (second half)

there's no way I could analyse the first half of episodes 1-3 so it's up to you

funfact: There's no phrase that looks like "mike and el" lmao

Ikeagate (2nd September was something about Mike taking Will to Ikea on a date?)

Brbgate (1st September was Breaking Bad…that bald guy. It was weird)

Flickergate (I named that one!! When Byler kiss in upside down its what caused the lights to flicker in season 1, plus “it was a 7” and other theories around the light flicker. Began 12 Sep)

Piggybackgate: (the gay af piggyback theories about how Will and Mike were standing in front of Eleven’s piggyback drawing, and scenarios of what might happen in season 5.)

Breathgate: (3rd September mikes breath catches)

Gridgate (when ST writers released pixelised plot of season 5)

Will loveinterest gate (27 August, when everyone was confused and so we had multiple different people who could be potential boyfriends for Will, many of them were played by Finn Wolfhard)

Mattduffersbasement gate (something to do with being locked in Matts basement, it was a very specific joke)

Spirkgate (Spirk from Star Trek became some type of meme)

[there-was-a-hole-here-itsgonenow]

@stranger-chichka thank you so so much for the shoutout for those theories of mine and connecting them here!! I was just thinking about those posts again recently and wanted to revisit them. I’m so happy to see this color theory discussed again and so well and what these colors represent!!

omg guyyyyyyyyyyyssssssss

i cracked the code fr this time

so @foodiewithdahoodie mentioned this in one of their most recent posts about love and defeating vecna and they mentioned the three types of love: Platonic, Familial, and Romantic

and then i was like, omggg you know who that is? thats Will, Mike and El! :D

Mike + El = Platonic Love

El + Will = Familial Love

Will + Mike = Romantic Love

and then a couple weeks ago i thought about another thing- Mike, El, and Will represent the three Primary Colors

the three primary colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow

what is so cool and slay about the three primary colors is that it is impossible to create any other colors without the Three Primary Colors

So Mike, El, and Will are the three primary components to defeat Vecna; without these three nothings going to work and Vecna will not be defeated.

sooo Yeah! these three are the key 🥰 im sure most of everyone knew this already lol but i thought this was all super neat- and the color thing i figured out myself which is something i am very proud of 😌

[will80sbyers]
