“what?”

But when we get an outsiders pov of Milkdud, they look like this.

After @doriandrifting​ ‘s time theory I’ve noticed both Byler & Lumax have matching watches - Will and Lucas on the left hand, Mike and Max on the right hand. Max got vecna’d, is it Mike’s turn in s5? 

Another observation - only two more people wear their watches on the right hand. Barbara in s1 and Billy in s2. Both of them were Vecna’s targets. 

And I feel like this scene is somehow important. We know that in that moment Max is already Vecna’s turget and it is interesting that the Dufferts want to show us it’s MIKE who notices something is wrong with her. Why not Lucas? Or Dustin? WHY MIKE? And watches, their watches right in the focus!!! 

Mike: ...

El: ...

Mike: Do... does your species like m&m's

El: ...

El: *eats m&m*

Mike: Thanks for knocking some sense into me, I was in the wrong. No not you, ME. You deserve the world. I've spent this last year miserable and Hawkins doesn't feel the same without you it's not home when you're not there and I'm sorry I didn't call I was in a bad place but I want us to be a team again. Friends. Best friends.

Will, tearing up: Cool
