Furthermore, I need to print a semi-retraction regarding the article about Will shown at the police station in 1.08.

I've been working on the assumption—based on posts my friends have made—that Joyce and Terry are mixed up/conflated in this article.

Upon further review, I can't say I fully agree.

"The allegation comes amidst a massive investigation into the hidden organization..."

"The abuse detailed in the first report..."

All of that reeks of Terry's case. There was no "first report" for Will detailing abuses by HNL. The massive investigation was a) Terry suing Brenner and HNL and b) MK Ultra as a whole being exposed. Everything after the mention of Joyce is specifically referring to things that predate Will's disappearance.

"Oh but James, Terry was already mind-broken when this article was written, so there couldn't be a statement from 'Ives'—"

She has a sister. Becky Ives.

Becky probably gave this statement, given that "Ives" appears amidst details that predate Will, meaning it's most likely a call-back to Terry's case.

It doesn't change the fact that the writing is abrupt, and it doesn't mean that the article doesn't still differ greatly from the one in ST2, but I don't necessarily think it conflates Joyce and Terry. I think they're talking about Becky.

your timeline is wrong

This whole scene is so suspicious considering everything I’ve been talking about lately with people being in the wrong timeline and general timeline weirdness.

Murray’s timeline is wrong. And what excatly was his timeline?

Oh look. The second note. 8:15 strikes again. But that’s the wrong timeline. There’s something here regarding eightfifteengate and time weirdness and the time stamps on Will’s camera going haywire on halloween (a JVC camera that’s the exact same type as the one in Back to the Future). The fact that 8:15 shows up when Will goes to the UD- he’s in the wrong timeline.

There’s something here, I can feel it in my bones.

It’s also weird as hell that the newspaper clippings on that wall with the “wrong timeline,” says boy(s) still missing and three hunters missing- what boys? Shouldn’t it just be one boy, Will? And it was only two hunters who went missing, Dale and Henry. So why does that say three? It’s the wrong timeline. There’s also something rattling about boys missing and the Edward vs Henry stuff.

About 30 per cent of newsroom jobs have been cut at a 145-year-old daily newspaper in St. John’s, N.L., following a takeover by Postmedia. Keith Gosse, head of the union representing workers at The Telegram, says staff learned Wednesday that four of the paper’s 13 newsroom positions will be eliminated. As well, Saturday will be the paper’s last daily print edition, as it is moving to a weekly print version beginning next week with daily news online. Gosse says there were more than 40 people working in the newsroom when he first started at The Telegram in 1986.

HELLO! So yes, the 21st is the murder date for the Edward timeline, and omg I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an equivalent outage on the 21st in Henry’s timeline- that’s something I’m going to keep in mind now as I dig through more of the timeline/newspaper stuff! It’s so suspicious that there was an outage on the 25th in the Edward timeline.

I’m still compiling a masterpost on it, but I’ve got a “st creel timeline weirdness” tag on my blog and a “edward creel,” tag and a “creel newspapers,” tag that might help, although tumblr’s tags are unreliable.

AND YEs THATS SUCH A GREAT POINT ABOUT RU ELECTRICITY AND UD ELECTRICITY… staring at the power outage on the night will vanished & the power guys still being at the byers house the next morning…..

AND YES OKAY I HAVE SO MANY SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THE UD BEING EITHER HENRY OR EDWARD’S TIMELINE (likely Edward’s) and I would likely be able to confirm this if i could just see the wallpaper colour in ONE room in the UD Creel house (finishing up a post today hopefully about the wallpaper changes in the Creel sequences). Seriously, that one fucking room would confirm it, but we never get any shots of that one room in the UD Creel house. However, I would be willing to bet that the wallpaper in that room is green in the UD Creel house.

ok timeline theory gang, have you been over this already?

the Indianapolis Gazette, in a minor story beside the Creel headline, reports a power outage in Hawkins. as best I can read it:

Auto Blunder To Blame For Outtage Jordan ? Peck(?) 23, was driving his Chevy ? late last night on Highway 40 when he claimed the "steering cut out" causing him to lose control of the vehicle and slam into a power line which subsequently disrupted electricity service to over 1,000 residents of Hawkins. Peck was arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol and being held on $$$(?) bail.The power outage comes amidst frequent outtages caused by -

(by what?? caused by what??????)

that story screams coverup. if not wholly fabricated, it reeks of Someone having tampered with a car and damaged a power pole to explain away a power failure caused by Something Else.

we know since literally the first episode that power outages mean something strange is afoot, but the murders and the outage aren't the same night. the Gazette timeline places the Creel murders on Saturday night (March 21) and the power outage in question didn't happen until days later. It's referred to as "last night" in this paper dated Thursday, March 26, 1959. meaning..

have I got this straight?: in the timeline where the Creel murders happened on March 21, Hawkins then suffered a major power outage on the night of March 25, which is when the murders happened in the other timeline? and the true reason for this outage was extremely likely covered up? 🤨

wouldn't you think "baby's first psionic mass murder" would be grounds for a power outage? why wasn't there one on the 21st? or was there? the reference to recent "frequent outtages" does allow for the possibility. although now I just wanna know why it's plural, nay, frequent outages.

I don't think I'm totally up to date on the Henry/Edward timeline theory but like. is the power going on and off across Hawkins every time a rabbit gets murdered in the other timeline or something?

Newspapers across the country screamed the news of the stock market crash, October 1929. Only the San Francisco Chronicle thought it no more important than a sunken ferry and a lobbyist scandal.

Why don't we have a newspaper from the Hawkins Post in Season 4?

They focus on the Roane Daily Citizen (not legible), the Indianapolis Gazette (Edward), and the Weekly Watcher (Henry)...but not the Hawkins Post? The newspaper that Nancy and Jonathan worked for, who they tried to report the flayed rats to? Death of small-town America? The paper that the main secondary baddies of the Flayed came from? No?

The paper that they feature being thrown to BRENNER in 1979?? NO DICE??

It's not that the paper didn't exist in 1959, since it share a birth year with Henry...1947.

If any paper should have a story on the Creel murders, it should be the official paper of the town the murders happened in. Local papers love this kind of stuff.

For example, the local paper for the town I went to school in reports on shit similar to the Creel murders all the time:

So why don't we see a Hawkins Post article about the Creels? Where is it? The story made it all the way out to Indianapolis, Roane county ran it...but not Hawkins Post?

Your Local Paper: Which Local Paper? Well, It’s A Familiar One

So, I talked in this post and this post about the Indianapolis Gazette & it not being based in Hawkins & how that could tie into timeline stuff.

And that has me staring at these lines:

Angela not only makes a point of mentioning “your local paper,” which ties into what I just said re: newspapers and timelines and local vs non local papers.

But also, what paper was Hopper in/what paper wrote about Hopper’s death?

The Indianapolis Gazette.

Yknow, the same paper that mentions Edward Creel:

The same paper that I talked about in those posts I linked regarding how a paper’s location/being local or non local may affect timeline stuff…

Anyway! Much to think about. The newspaper stuff is so intentional in this show and edward is so real.

Speaking of GNC AF grandpas, I’d like everyone to meet mine.

The most bisexual sitter of all time, OG Gay Liberation activist and Unitarian Universalist Minister, Rev Randall Lee Gibson III.

Found this photo today while looking for a good one to put on a sign for our local Pride March this weekend.

Shout out to everyone else out there with bisexual and cunty grandpas.

And RIP Randy, you were a true original.

Sunday Tribune - Sunday 24 June 1990

Apparently at some point in early 1991 the Aristasians were featured in a programme about "offbeat" characters around Ireland. I am unsure if this ever made it to the air, but Ruby Wax did host a talk show from early 1991 to 1994 called The Full Wax.
