if mike was straight, stranger things would've ended after season 2
#straight mike isn't real he can't hurt you vs stranger things fatigue#anyway i can elaborate on this#season 2 is a false ending#someone died but it was just bob and they used that to make sure no one ELSE died#mike might have gotten caught in the tunnels but he was rescued! it's fine! everything's fine! he's at the snow ball with el it's FINE!!!!!#and then season 3 picks up and everyone#they expected it to be over#i know that's a thing EVERY sequel season but in 3 they're all WEIRDED OUT by it#it takes them SO LONG to accept that the ball's rolling again#because they bought the false ending! the straight mike ending!#what do you mean it's back on? everything's fixed isn't it? mike should be happy#happy heart happy life#but no he's being unnaturally annoying and pissing everyone off and saying that plot activities are STRANGE#when he's the ONE person who's historically been like wdym? this makes perfect sense#when it's actually the weirdest thing in the world#but now Unsanctioned things are happening. hopper's fucking off with joyce to another state and mike did not Approve of it#it's Weird he says#This can't be a coincidence He says#as if he didn't make that call#which goes against his dungeonmaster role#as does his inability to track down dustin when he VERY MUCH WANTS to find dustin#and the plot usually rearranged itself to grant mike whatever he wants#not this time! you want hopper and dustin? sorry. they've been taken off the board. your move#there's a paradigm shift is what i'm saying#within mike both on a character level and on a plot level#what's the plot again? people being flayed aka possessed aka taken over by an external force and made to act unlike themselves?#fascinating#surely not relevant to the main character who's suddenly acting unlike himself though#certainly not#st posting

Third Level Society: First Version
Story Twelve: Jax Lyons
Part Two: Jax Lyons
They have finally tapped our House for the new Neurovirus vaccination, which I took just today. Already the outbreak on campus shows signs of slowing. Classes have resumed albeit with many precautions being taken. However, everywhere off-campus is still under lockdown.
Nevertheless, I have avoided the Caucus Chamber because of Emma Bastrin, the new Dungeonmaster. While she has resolved not to carry on the Mahathia agenda, she is expanding on Blake's other agendas, including the expansion of his fleet of Watchers, refusal to instill actual Prefects, and the filling of Administrator roles with Blake-loyalists.
At least she abolished the Chamber security figures Blake had deployed on that fateful night.
Regardless, I am avoiding the Third Level Society like I avoid individuals with the Neurovirus. I have been working closely with Williard Kent, who has been recently joined by Susan Parans and, surprisingly, Steve Endon. We've only drafted ideas on paper but have not actually built or revived any Quora-style dymensional planes. Currently, we are in the process of trying to get a hold of Sophia Qalmers.
The Master Pagewriter would have sensed my presence, so I can say with confidence that none of the aforementioned peers is the Pagewriter in human form. Also, I've come to actually enjoy either engaging in or working with dymensional planes...just not with the Third Level Society. I know that it goes against the Pageturner Guild, but I do believe that what we are doing is insignificant in the face of concerns over the Anomaly, which I believe is in no way associated with the Pandemic. Also, I've come to realize that dymensional planecrafting leads one to become strong in problem-solving and critical thinking skills, two skillsets that Pageturner Guild leadership seems to want to reserve for themselves.
In fact, I've had a problem with the Pageturners, not the doctrine but the bureaucracy. They seem to push for unquestioning obedience from their lower ranks, including Observers like myself. So I've resolved to taking things into my own hands, to observe the world and Multi-verse around me in order to gain knowledge of the genuine and unadulterated Truth. On paper, I am still committed to the Pageturner Guild and intend to remain that way. But perhaps my own insight may steer the organization in the right direction.
