so I swore I was not going to start speculating off of set images, but given the one's we've gotten of Dustin so far, I cannot help myself (plus it's fun). Still: none of the theories I've seen so far make as much sense to me as this being tied to Dustin's trauma and him having a Vecna Vision/Flashback, which becomes clearer the more you put the details revealed in the images into the context we've been given by S4 + The Duffers.

First, the images I'm referencing (TW: IMAGE SPOILERS):

Separately, these things (the basketball players, Dustin's hellfire fit being the same at both the grave and school + him wearing Eddie's rings + Mike's hair & attire) all feel a bit disparate...until you remember the things both Dustin is trying to cope with (Eddie's death + feeling like an outsider) and the Duffers have said re: Eddie and his effect on the characters (listen if you can, its only 3 min). Why?

Well, because we know for a fact that 1) Dustin and Mike were the ones who felt most aligned with Eddie given their being bullied—

—even though we spent all of S4 building the bond between Dustin and Eddie in particular, because Mike was in California with Will.

Similarly (and while I know it's not primary canon), we get this context from Lucas in Lucas on the Line, which corroborates Dustin's comment about Lucas "making all his sports friends" and feeling deeply betrayed by that fact—

—and even stuff about Mike's appearance "not changing" (pre-hellfire, in the moments he's still in S3/regressive conformist territory +not embracing himself)....something that Eddie talks about in S4 when he comments on the look Mike had when he met him.

(I've also already commented on that Mike's shirt looks a lot like the one El wears post Rink-O-Mania in S4—which plays a lot into the idea of Mike giving El a shirt that represents conformity to him (just like her being his girlfriend does, given he cannot be himself in front of her at all in S4).

Combining all of these things though—Dustin being the only one who is in the Hellfire shirt (while all the other extras look a very "S1 good suburban kid" I/ first day of school), Mike showing up (also looking like his 'conformist' self in contrast), Basketball players being on the scene (the people Dustin felt stole Lucas from him)...combined with him in the same outfit at the grave of the person he felt defended him from those losses and challenges in high school?

It's giving Dustin's grief / worst thoughts thrown back at him 100%.

Given that Eddie, who he lost in an extremely traumatic fashion is the one who said forced conformity (which Mike is showing up dressed as alongside Lucas's basketball friends) killed the kids—

—and now they are facing off with Vecna (and Henry by extension, whose says shit like THIS) on top of asking people to "join him" in his displeasure with the world when he 'takes their souls?'

On top of the fact that we KNOW for a fact there is time fuckery coming for us...and it's likely enough that it's 'now 'canonically 1986 (or near it), which is reminiscent of this moment (likely remembered and traumatizing for Dustin specifically)?

Yeah. Flashback / lead up into Vecna torture is exactly what it gives to me—the things causing the event / the moments that lead into the torture. Especially knowing the scenes shot first (aka now) are generally more SFX complex because they take the most time.

bonus: @magentamee also brought up some great points on this theory here!

bonus bonus: I wrote something on Dustin and standing apart from relationship conformity as early as S3 here and wrote up the relationship he has with nonconformity today, which I think plays into his feelings of alienation / what Vecna might pull him apart from his friends by showing him.

Finn was the most desired ass in the galaxy

[cat-and-books]

D&D idea:

Musical theatre D&D. A campaign (with added elements to make each character work) where each adventurer in the party is a character from a different musical.

Warlock Lydia with a patron Beetlejuice

Druid Seymour with a small Audrey II

Wizard Mary Poppins

Rogue Sweeney Todd

Bard Dewey Finn

Just a silly little thought :)

The Yellowjackets as Glee Characters with little to no explanation:

Misty: Tina Cohen Chang Chang circa glee s1 (self explanatory)

Nat: Santana Lopez (Always angry, hates everyone but a softie)

Lottie: Brittany S Pierce (slightly confused, iconic, hot and weird)

Shauna: Sam (“oh wow he has no game”)

Jackie: Quinn (cmon this is too easy)

Tai: Blaine (driven, really fun and good at what he has to do)

Van: Finn (loving, ready to do whatever)

Mari: Sugar Moto (kind of there for vibes, created some tension, then chilled)

Laura Lee: Emma Pilsbury (like girl, we been known)

Akilah: Brad the piano guy (kind of irrelevant tbh)

Travis: Artie (kind of iconic, slightly annoying)

Coach Ben: Sue Sylvester (hates the Yellowjackets the way sue hates the glee club)

tlj and tros are such a symbiotic relationship in being garbage bc tlj created a shit second entry therefore making it almost impossible for the trilogy to end well and then tros came along and tried to like. pander to and validate the absolute worst bad faith criticisms of tlj, while also doubling down on all its worst aspects. they made each other worse <3

Lowkey an extension to the comment I made in this post:

After seeing the clip for myself & looking at Finn’s million expressions? Its actually STILL giving Little Women to me, but another convo between JoLaurie. It’s giving

Like. I could be extremely wrong but also...Mike is giving this exact "I'm scared to say this but happy but also please let's stay friends" energy almost to a tee to ME lmao

I am a firm believer in buff Callie. I think she can swing a dynamo roller so fast people think she's wielding a carbon.
