UGH radio discrepancies again.....the newspaper in the new book says the radio station was founded in 1949, which contradicts the shirts that said "there's a new radio in town" in 1967.
AND small potatoes, but they mislabeled it "SQWK" on the Hawkins map in the book
And it goes without saying that the radio was never shown on any map prior to S5

I say this super-respectfully...... I would not have guessed Barb to be 120 lbs
Those stats are closer to what I would guess for say, Vickie.
The book citing Akira as an influence......ohohoho

Good lord this fucks hard
How many people on the streets have you seen hauling everything they own in a shopping cart? How many people do you know who see one coming and cross the road to avoid it? How would they react to this, a beautiful and priceless work of art of the same shape and form but far more precious craftsmanship, carrying prettier possessions in a much more tasteful way? Ignoring that all the features which give it status and respectability are both unnecessary and fragile, stripping it of its original context and purpose?
How many ugly and unsightly everyday objects are made avant-garde by reducing their function for the sake of heightening exclusivity? Marble bathtubs, geode sinks, gold-plated toilets- things made for a function which are forcibly divorced from that function to earn respect and regard
Why does worsening an item in specific ways signal improvement or status? The fragility and impracticality screams, "I don't actually need this" while sneering in derision, "can you imagine if I needed this?"
Like pretending to blow your nose into a bedazzled tissue
I love it
Seems I only run into shipping delays when I'm:
A. anxiously waiting for a package to arrive, or
B. anxiously hoping the package I sent makes it on time
UPS was even IN POSSESSION of my book like 20 mins away, and they decided to punt it off on USPS, adding another shipping day. Why are they like this I don't even live in a rural area tf
IT'S HERE

I would kill for a moment like this in ST5
Context: spoilers for Neverending Story below
Okay, I was originally going to stay to the tags, but something really just hit me.
I made a post sometime ago where I was talking about how I saw Will as being more like the childlike empress and Mike being more like Bastian because I saw Will as representing that inner child/those desires/wishes that Mike has felt like he’s needed to push away and conform because of societal pressures.
Your post made me think about how else he could be and that honestly this might be a dynamic that the Duffers were intending with Mike/El/Will: Mike = Bastian, having his own inner struggles relating to growing up, sexuality, and it all going along with how he’s (I think) subconsciously writing/influencing the story taking place & he won’t come to realize until closer to the end. Will = Childlike Empress, the one we’re told is sick at the beginning of the story and is in need of saving due to “The Nothing” (Upside Down) spreading over the land.
Mike feels like he’s not enough to save Will (or something could’ve happened to Will in another timeline that led to his demise). So, then, here comes El = Atreyu, as you said, a stand-in. She’s supposed to be that needed “superhero” and “savior” of Will. End of S4 going into S5 is where we’re definitely starting to see the cracks in this facade though with El not getting rid of the evil, and even though we get a montage of her having these new abilities and not hurt herself as much, we know that it’s not all there is for the “ending” of this story. (And with her arc being more about her independence and discovering herself without being constantly used as a weapon, I like to think that it’s heading in the direction towards her leaving of sorts. I prefer off with Kali & the gang).
We’re seeing Mike having more of an active role in S5, stepping heavily back into being DM/leader. In S3, it was him just being mostly around El, ditching Will and the party more. In S4, he was more split between Will & El, but as we get to the end, we know who he’s chosen to focus more on. And now S5, we know that Mike is spending majority of his time with Will. That “heart” speech is truly what got Mike back to more of himself (more to the front) and it’s what’s bringing us closer to what’s to be revealed about him and the rest of the story.
So, I can definitely see a scene like what you mentioned playing out most likely in Vol. 2. I also could see something from the ending of the movie playing out (up to 1:50 lol).
I keep thinking about The Bridge episode (S5E7) and what could possibly be going on and I’m leaning on there being some sort of abstract moment in a void or somewhere involving Mike and Will (could possibly be where Mike gives his, alleged by Finn, longest monologue in the show).
Ykw, I am going to believe in conformitygate. I don't even care anymore what's likely or not.
For any other show i would say it's way too meta and out of left field, but this is the show where they highlighted Neverending Story so much, a book/movie that famously involved the reader in the story and blurred the line between reality and fantasy, and also the show where the Nina Project was a major plotline, and also the First Shadow which blurred the line between play and audience and also they took inspo from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
If it's real and the Duffers pull it off, I would take back (some of) what I said about them.
"TURN AROUND (bright eyes)"
"TURN AROUND (look at what you see)"
Two songs featured in Season 3 when everything is brightly colored and weird like the Season 5 finale....
That one promo picture of all the seasons on VHS with Season 3 flipped upside down....
I don't know what the connection is to both seasons (being flayed?) but maybe they were telling us even then that something needed to be reversed....
If you've never watched The Neverending Story, I highly recommend it. But even if you don't, at least watch this scene, which explains the Nothing and serves as kind of a thesis statement for the film.
It may be related to the meta of Stranger Things
I always found it so interesting that will looks in the camera directly in these scenes. I get that in the second one they are looking at the drawing but they are still looking at us. And in the first scene there wasn't really a reason to because hes not looking at Joyce, you can see his eyes look back at her in pic 1 and 5. Hm.

BUMP OF THE KNEE BRUSH OF THE ELBOW IM STILL HEREEE
Honestly when you look at how this scene is blocked you can tell he was directed to do this sort of pose as the actor and it begs the question if CG is NOT real then why build up all of these moments to add to the "signals" pile 🤔
(and i don't mean it is bad acting, it's just kind of like choreography. the way he positions his leg and stays posed so they get to the end goal of the "bumping of a knee" or whatever. Once you see it, after seeing S5, you can tell it was in fact deliberate, then.)
