Hedgehogs are snake eaters. Mad Max eating a lizard, symbolically devouring the devil in Fury Road.
This is said at 11:55
11 = Eleven ; ElMax: 5,12,13,1,24 =55
The German "Igel" (old English igil) is even directly derived from snake, meaning Schlangenfresser/Snakeeater.
What's a snake in Stranger Things? Oh, um... a freaking dragon maybe?
No more questions, Duffers.
PS: Speaking of eating... which is so to speak important in regard of the "hedgehog".
I wonder how long it will take until this fandom gets it (just read a post that made my eyes roll so hard that I could swear I heard a clicking noise in my skull) : Max IS One. The silver cat. That's why they parallel/mirror her with antagonistic characters. Anyone bothered to look at Max's shelf?
You know Papa saying all of this?
Which is important because she has to consume. Just like Mad Max did in Fury Road.
Just, well, someone else. (Too?)
This is what we call, um *checks notes* forshadowing. Btw they celebrate this moment. So, it's something positive.

A few remarks regarding this list.
Greek; silver cats; dog; yellow; 55...
These are of course the usual suspects, nothing out of the ordinary.
The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Space by M. Scott Carpenter is a hilarious choice by the Duffers.
Scott Carpenter was one of the Mercury Seven astronauts, selected for Project Mercury; (the wall presentation in the science classrom in S1):
💬 6 🔁 2 ❤️ 12 · Mercury... Quicksilver · It was planned a long time ago - Part 3
I noticed something on the back of the presentation boar
But of course it doesn't stop here...
Yeah.
Scott Carpenter replaced Deke Slayton on the Mercury-Atlas 7 mission.
If my calculation is correct, this is at least the fourth time that the Duffers made this cheap little joke, where they're hinting that as far as El is concerned, Mike is just a "shitty knock-off", meant to be replaced by Max.
The first instance is in 2x2, when El's watching a TV show titled 'All my children'. The character Mike Roy that appears in the scene was recast: the original actor was Nicolas Surovy, but the scene El's watching features the new actor, Hugo Napier.

2x2 & 5x5... It had to be perfect, down to the last detail, right Matt and Ross?
The third one comes from a short conversation between the two soldiers in the camera room in 5x7, who are conveniently distracted by discussing basketball, so El can easily remove the security cameras and the gang can enter the Upside Down.

Sorry about this little detour, but I had to address this here; it's absolutely mind-boggling to me how far they went with their stupid little clues, instead of bringing the real story to the surface...

As for these:
Hilton Head Island: A Perspective
Cultural Atlas of Africa
Great Houses of America
With these three books - as you'll see a bit later - the Duffers basically drew us a map for a treasure hunt.
The Great Houses of America by Henry Lionel Williams and Ottalie K. Williams would probably deserve its own separate post.
If you thought the authors' name was hilarious, it gets even funnier:

I mean, Holly Hill is one thing...

So, technically El's 'binder' was also there with the others on the shelf.
Just coded and hidden.
As usual.
If you take another look at the Captain Midnight wiki page screenshot showed earlier, you can see these other references mentioned.
What's relevant for us is the Captain Midnight broadcast signal intrusion.
The incident happened on April 27, 1986 (a month after S4; Max 'died' on March 27).
However, as usual, when someone does something new and strange and it reaches a wide enough audience, copycats will show up inevitably:
Yes, you've read it correctly.
The Max Headroom incident: November 22, 1987.
So...
How is this actually supposed to work in those fucked up heads of yours, Matt and Ross?
Hmm?
Just to quickly get this out of the way, why these specific parts are underlined:
- Coca-Cola ad reference (see the connection a bit later, regarding S1).
- "I still see the X" -> Of course, X still marks the spot... (X is only a lie, if you take the end of S5 at face value. Or really, any part of S5 for that matter... Actually, there's only one aspect in which X is truly a lie in Season 5; we'll have to talk about that in detail in another post)
- Pixels... Guess what the cat's name is in Heinlein's book... Yes, it's Pixel.
Sure enough, the signal got hijacked. (We know. Walsh picked Reggie from California, instead of local hero Alford. Clear as daylight.)
"The remote radio head's the more likely culprit."
After all, the signal always goes wonky near a gate, doesn't it?
"I can still see the X!"
Are you really asking us to just use our imagination to picture what happened in that final moment at the library?
'Cause in case this is new to you, you sure as hell forgot to actually put it onto the fucking screen.
Maybe we're supposed to rely on this pretty relatable illustration on Robin's shirt as guidance...
Is that it?

Yet, instead of offering a temporary "beam me up" option to your audience, so they could leave this place behind for a few hours and take a message home that may actually help them to stay somewhat hopeful while navigating this place that does indeed - most of the time - royally suck, you've somehow managed to make it even worse by hiding behind obscure props only visible by using a microscope and were probably only meant to be decoded by "true academic scholars"; cleverly ambigous lines and proxy conversations whose connection stretches through multiple seasons; and of course juvenile, sometimes downright disgusting jokes that could've even be funny on occasion, had they not been only used as hints for the real story of Stranger Things that you refused to tell.
Congratulations.

Now we all know.
The Deutsches Eck in Koblenz also serves as home for a monument to a German Emperor whose significance cannot be overstated.
His greatest achievement was the unified German state.
During World War II, his statue was destroyed by US artillery, however, a few years after the German reunification it was reinstated.
Emperor Wilhelm (William) the Great was born on 22 March 1797.
Maybe the real Eleven was the friends we made along the way I.
As it stands today, we're stuck in this quagmire called 'conformitygate'.
Regardless of one's belief, whether a proper ending of ST is still on the table or not, the thing most of us would probably agree on, is that Season 5 was a meticulous and very much intentional destruction and betrayal of everything this show used to stand for.
Since we've got the super helpful and gracious advice from the creators of the show to interpret this story for ourselves... here it is.

And the reason is that as much as these two rivers are a perfect fit, the Our and the Sauer only serve as an epic red herring.
The real confluence that they intended to convey to us is further downstream.
Not much further though, but it's the confluence of two other rivers.

Alright.
We've already covered the crab, so what's up with the scarab?
When it comes to the sci-fi writers of the 20th century, there's a general consensus about the "Big Three":
Our guy is the last one on this list: Robert A. Heinlein.
He wrote many novels, the relevant one for us here (for now...) is titled 'Time Enough for Love'.
In the book the protagonist Lazarus Long is cloned by replacing his Y chromosome with an X chromosome: the result is two twin 'daughters':
Lapis Lazuli and Lorelei Lee. XX-parity clones.
This is 22 [2 x 11] with Roman numerals: XXII.
XX.
&
II. -> 11.
If you recall, we've got Lapis Lazuli and Koblenz.
Well...
Lapis Lazuli -> El (blue hair-tie)
Lorelei Lee -> Max (yellow watch; literally "waiting in a rock" since her 'coma')
The twins in the book usually go by their nicknames: Lori & Lazi or Lor & Laz.
It probably won't come as a shock to anyone at this point that if we combine the names, then...

This isn't the first time by far, of course, for the idea of twins/clones to show up in regards to El, Max and Sarah (and in some cases also very strongly connecting to Will as well).
A few extra details, just to emphasize this point:
The M4A2 Sherman tank is truly a peculiar choice, as it is the only Sherman variant with a twin engine.
For the numbers: 75, 47 & 47.
M4A2
M=13
A=1
13+1+4+2=20
And of course the two stars on the tank...
The same way they used Halley's comet with the stars:
10 stars on the Halley's-presentation... +1 star where the demo's heading, to make it 11...
And of course we have the twin wire in 5x1:
Crossing the streams this way as well...
The reblog by @sterlingarcher23: here.
For the coaxial cable: this and this.
In all honesty, it doesn't really matter what kind of backstory the Duffers were actually thinking about (they weren't) when they decided to throw in these clues.
They'd just say it's up for interpretation anyway: either we can take these hints at face value and imagine some sort of biological connection between these characters through MKUltra or some other government shenanigans, or treat this whole being "twins" thing just as a metaphor which only meant to emphasize the connection between the characters...
The clues are definitely there, either way.

The Cat Who Walks Through Walls...
In case you'd try to look it up, the character in question who supposedly used the alias 'Captain Midnight' in Heinlein's book is Colin Campbell (also known as Richard Ames; he used many different aliases).
However this piece of information was removed a long time ago from the wiki page of the book; strangely enough the corresponding disambiguation above on the Captain Midnight wiki page somehow survived.
You have to go back to around September 2006 on the book's wiki page by using the "View history" option to see a version of the page where this particular reference is still visible.
After all, blue and yellow can only meet in West-Germany in 1987, if at least one of them can walk through walls...

Mike holds up M&Ms asking El if her "species" likes M&Ms. (And we just learned that species is a plural of specie referring to metallic money.) He does it with the bag in front of a Sprite vending machine and Max (playing "catch the red, strawberry Skittle) on the other side. MM* - the initials of Max Mayfield. - Sprite.

Should I explain this? Okay:

Oh, and the logo is green. (This older logo is the closest to the one on the vending machine isn't just green, but has a yellow lemon & a blue backdrop of the word sprite)
*sigh* Ich kann das alles nicht mehr. - But I'd be lying that it's not somewhat fun even though completely frustrating given the state of the show.
Sprite is an offshoot of Fanta, originating from Germany - Fanta has a, well, special background, it was invented in the early 1940s due to an embargo and Germany was basically cut off from Coca Cola - Fanta is also strongly associated with the color orange. Although that's just the logo/background, at least for us, Fanta in the USA is super orange. Guys, this already looks unhealthy!
Get it? Orange vs green.
So, in the end we have another connection between ghosts, El and MM, I mean Max Mayfield and the color green which is what you get when you mix blue and yellow. (Btw I think there's an interesting connection between Byler and green too. See, if you can find it.)
But! We are not quite done yet. It gets better!!
Silver. The white horse of the Lone Ranger which is also mentioned in the linked post or by me.
I'm not sure of anything previous but Tonto definitely calls Silver a spirit horse in the Disney film. Which btw has an interesting villain who's identified as a Wendigo by Tonto which is not so incorrect since Cavendish devours his enemies. *sigh*
*Almost forgot. The M&Ms or MM is clearly making an association with the Wonder Woman logo which is a WW. Surely people with a tiny bit of knowledge of the show get what I want to say:

No wonder. A) if that's the standard at Hawkins High because that wormhole is utter nonsense.
That's not how wormholes work at least to my knowledge - no, I don't have a degree in physics, but seriously? Fleshy walls? The gravity makes no sense and as a physicist on YT explained, you may see shadow versions of the matter from the other side in a wormhole (the mirrored version of Hawkins) but wouldn't be able to interact with it since it isn't matter. And as far as I understand it wormholes are tunnels through curved space time through which you could travel, it's a connection, a bridge between two places and you don't move one of those places to the other But okay. Creative freedom, fine, that's okay. I try to be open to new ideas even though it's like written by a dork? Especially because it doesn't even have a metaphorical weight anymore imo that the UD once maybe had, which would be a good excuse. This way: metaphor boom. - Exotic matter... Yeah, oh it's just a plot device. Also: Boom. Deliberat slop.
It's like a "solve a geometrical problem with algebra" moment.
It would however explain how you can graduate even a US high school when you missed 1.5 years and have not, um, aquired the missing knowledge in any way like for example absorbing someone's memories. Similar to the knowledge on how to professional tend to a wound...ah, that got a rather normal explanation. I guess nothing to see here. - Look over there, cool monster.

Oh, and Max mimics El here (flips skateboard with right foot, takes it under her left arm) when it's El who mimics others in the past. (Although, Max does mimic El already in 5x3 "Hi."- there's a real story underneath, on the other side, isn't there?)
Interesting, it's almost as if Max is El.
Can we get this story on screen because analyzing this is fine but not very satisfying when the Season in question is barely watchable. - You see the problem, Matt? Ross? Even if it is a deliberate sort of satire, which barely gave part of the audience anything, it's not good satire and it was hard to watch once.
And I won't mention how Max covers her eye with her own finger (Phineas Gage), while there's a poster with a tiger (Tiger Beat) right behind her that breaks through a wall. Like a wall of conformity. Through which she broke....oh, I just did.

I'm getting real tired of these stupid games of yours, Duffers.
Really, really tired.
...
The original draft of this post actually ended here.
I thought there was nothing more to discuss, but a tiny additional detail caught my attention in that end credit shot above, and it pissed me off so much (sometimes nomen est omen does not apply...) that I went on to create this marathon-length monster.
We're going to discuss - again - the core idea that everything connects to - silver/copper, the damn coins, the laundry etc. - and then you'll hopefully see, how it may provide the intended interpretation of El's ending.
The real story they refused to tell us.
As for the conformitygate aspect: yes, we all know S5 is bullshit. Anyone, who actually watched this show (I'm missing collarbones, not eyes, Steve...) understands this much. And it has nothing to do with a dial suddenly changing its color, or the countless inconsistencies and gigantic plotholes that are plaguing the entire final season.
They have simply betrayed their own characters and their audience by completely abandoning the plotlines/dynamics they had built up through S1-S4.
This post won't give you any pointers whether we'll get the real story or not. As things stand today, we just got unlucky and got the bad ending. Therefore my attitude (It's a funny word, isn't it Matt and Ross?) towards the creators of this show might be a little uncouth.
You're also gonna see by the end of the post how the Duffers are blatantly using intentional mistakes such as El's height to hint towards the real story, or why on Earth would they indicate in the epilogue that Steve Harrington is suddenly so broke that he's unable to afford a place in a goddamn trailer park.
What a disgrace. You really couldn't find a better way to go about "telling" the real story, than to hide it behind these very much intentional mistakes, could you?
Anyway.
Here's our culprit in that shot, hiding in plane plain sight:

The original solution to the "problem" the Duffers created at the end of S4 when they 'put' Max in a 'coma'. (Not the 'Dear Billy' copy, that we got as a shitty knock-off.)

...
Except... the winning part never happened on screen, did it...?
...
Or maybe it did?
In an utterly bizarre way...
...
Allow me to describe our situation by using a stupid analogy.
We expected the Duffers to cook us a fine meal.
What they did instead, is that they went to the grocery store, collected all the ingredients, even acquired some new kitchen tools.
They neatly placed all this stuff in the kitchen by carefully arranging them on the counter and then went like:
Then marched back to the living room, planted their asses on the couch, and turned on the TV.
Leaving us here to figure out this mess.
We have the raw ingredients. The pieces of this puzzle.
They just couldn't bother connecting them to give us a full picture.
...
Unless of course they intend to rectify their "mistake".
And that's a massive if.
...
What's really atrocious though, is that they told us afterwards to "interpret" El's ending.
You are and absolute gem, Ross. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
"We really want the audience to take from it what they want."
Well, isn't this wonderfully cryptic?
Why are you so keen on us figuring this out? Either it's pure ragebait for no particular reason, or you're just taunting us, knowing full well that - technically - you've provided all the clues necessary, to correctly interpret El's ending.
It's almost like you have suddenly zero understanding of your own domain: storytelling.
Wasn't this actually your job, Matt and Ross?
To wrap up the story - at least the major plotlines - with a finality and even a sense of inevitability, that is satisfying and feels right?
You can leave certain aspects open: no one expected you to follow our heroes to their graves, but there are very few things that are more disgusting in storytelling, than hiding your own incompetence behind obscure clues and ambiguity.
It's funny though, that you didn't tell us to choose between the two specific versions you offered.
No, no, no...
You want us to interpret El's ending.
Which implies - albeit implicitly - that there could be other versions of this story on the table, than the two options we've been presented: the one where El "kills herself" (If you're offended by the wording, I dare you to watch that damn mockumentary...) and the alternative, the obviously impossible escape, that Mike cooked up during the DnD-session, which ended with the remaining party members going around and proclaiming like some cultists:
"I believe."
The real tragedy is how you refrained from killing your characters, just so you could assassinate them instead.
...
So, what could this option #3 possible be?
In Mike's made up version El escapes through the Radio Shack.
"The Radio Shack door opens on its own as if by a ghost..."
If you recall the original solution to Max's coma from above, you may wonder...
... why the Radio Shack?
Well...
Yeah...
JCPenney and the Radio Shack.

The temporal displacement occured exactly at 1:20.
They put this exact line from Back To The Future into 3x7, and even included their own prediction of the audience's reaction to this whole mess, just for fun.
"I have no idea."
They must be pissing themselves laughing, believing that no one can connect these dots.
They might be correct.
Even if someone is interested in the real story of these two characters - El and Max -, finding all these stupid little details, so that you can put together at least a relatively significant chunk of the story is unrealistic and unfair.
Why would anyone wanna do this anyway?
I hate to break it to you Matt and Ross, but most people just want to move on and forget this shitshow you've left behind.
You do realize, that it should've been the other way around, right?
You should've told a compelling and emotionally heavy story in S5 that had an actual heart. A story like that would've made people actually want to go back and find these details.
This is how these things work.
You set things up first, then land the plane with the payoff.
And if it's done well, these little details will all be found eventually by the viewers, and your elaborate web of foreshadowing will finally be recognized.
The thing is, as far as this show goes, everyone and their mother is focusing on Mike/Will, and their participation in this frankly boring and unimaginative love-triangle.
And in the meantime, the truth quietly 'walked' through the door of the Radio Shack.
I mean, it's hard to decide what's more funny:
Will haunting the Mileven-narrative,
Tammy haunting the Byler-narrative,
or my personal favorite:
Frank Darabont haunting the narrative around El's ending:
A miracle, indeed.
And what a wind it was...
...
Alright.
So, she metaphorically escaped through the Radio Shack.
Why metaphorically?
What happened in those last, fateful moments?

When One kills, she doesn't simply kill.
She consumes.

"Well, I could be your zoomer."

A 60 minute tape in a K 3662. Besides right side up/upside down/mirrors which is in the DNA of Stranger Things and letters to numbers, everything we do here is actually very simplistic. Basic math.
Let's read the 6 in "Min60" as presented to us as a "9" and then read the 6 correctly but flip 6s in "3662" to 9s.
K=11
6+3+9+9+2=29

The same numbers over and over and over again. This is either insane or the handwriting of God. Or both.
And yes, the rules obviously changed. The mind lair's exit doesn't close in 4 but stays open, Max is out of reach from Lucas, Max can free herself after the high-five memory with El - in 5 all of the sudden it's Lucas touching Max but when he let's go of her hand the exit closes? And he's all she needs?
No shade to Lumax but that is not true. The show established this is not the case in the previous seasons (plural). - So, S5 just changed the rules completely. That's intentionally or unintentionally bad writing from a bad storyteller.
"There's more to life than stupid boys."
Thought, one thing is interesting: Lucas rewinding the tape, El saying "Reset it" and Max stating she ends up in the same place.... So, it's about going back to a checkpoint.
Like that game "Ghosts n goblins"? Or maybe....flip the side? / Play the other tape?

"A stabbing, a poisoning is tawdry, prosaic. An impossible death [...] followed by an equally impossible rebirth. That's a miracle."
Tawdry....
... prosaic...
...a miracle:
Poetry.
But if we follow this superb line that I just heard from the Youtuber Pillar of Garbage about Knives Out 3 (which is why I make this post - ironic how you want to focus on something else and that immediately reminds you of the one thing what you didn't want to think about), what was the miracle in Stranger Things for?
If everyone is in a dream version/mindscape thingy, the resurrection was at best for the viewer and nothing more. If everything is real in S5, it falls flat because it has no relevance.
Actually in both cases Max's resurrection has no relevance such as her character's "arc" in S5.
We can complain about how 8 episode's ruin the way we are told stories shows with more episodes, stories about the characters in filler episodes but that doesn't excuse lame pacing or having to much focus on some characters and sidelining others because you could care give them an additional minute or two?
Deliberately prosaic and tawdry? Again: who is the target audience when the poetry is hidden under rubbish?
Maybe someone can explain this to me because I don't get it. I'm not intelligent enough obviously.
Numbers are in fact in my opinion (sorry Hermann) like poetry, they rhyme and dance.
Max: 13,1,24 ; 13+1+24=38 ; 3+8=11 ;1+3+1 +2+4=11 ; 5'6/56 5+6=11 ; NINA: 14,9,14,1=38 3+8=11 ; 1+4+9+1+4+1=20 and traces of it are still there...
The intentional deconstruction of your own myth and poetry for a vague meta message? And barely anyone gets it.
Sorry, I'm beating a dead horse. I'm just looking for an answer
"The intentional deconstruction of your own myth and poetry for a vague meta message."
Yeah, this part may be the only thing that tethers me to the possibility that the real story has to exist somewhere. We both know how far they went with the foreshadowing. I cannot possibly imagine them just throwing all that away for some vague meta message. All that money, shooting for a whole year... And this is the end result?
Still, to think they can actually pull off something like this...
Also, numbers are neat and all as clues (and very, very helpful), but only as long as they stay in the background, silently making the world you created richer. Not as the sole carriers of meaning, when the stuff on the actual screen is some generic slop that is completely disconnected from the world, the storylines and the character dynamics you've built in the last four seasons.
They did the exact opposite of what they should've done.
Hiding instead of revealing.
"Sorry, I'm beating a dead horse. I'm just looking for an answer."
This 100%. I'm still writing that stupid ass end credit post I mentioned a few days ago. It was supposed to be a short post, but I've found a new detail that made me wanna punch these idiots... So now it's a goddamn novel. And everytime I have to go back to screenshot something, I've got fucking Vietnam flashbacks...
I mean, fuck our ideas, any other version of S5 would've been better than the one we've got. We didn't get the 'bad ending', we basically got the worst ending. I cannot even imagine an alternative S5, that would've been worse than this one.
"Who is the target audience when the poetry is hidden under rubbish?"
Question of the century. I mean, as long as you're okay financially, I guess the target is/was the GA. It was good enough for them. They might've been on board with the conformitygate train, but only because they didn't understand it, and the drama seemed exciting.
Some closure would be nice though, 'cause every time I think about S5, I feel like exploding. Considering that we can never trust these two idiots to tell the truth, even if they will probably have to say something in the future (or maybe they really think they can get away with never having anyone ever questioning them about S5 again?), our only hope would be someone else from the crew coming forward once the NDA's have expired.
I mean at this point I'd be relieved if we learned that some serious shit went down after S4 behind the scenes (be it because of Netflix's influence, writers strike, creative differences or even divorcegate).
Anything concrete and believable enough, that would put our minds at ease and account for this mess they left on the screen as S5.
Because of Garfield. Lasagna is his favorite food.
Eddie has a Garfield mug. Eddie's real name Edward as in "Edward Creel" which is why Eddie plays Vecna's role in the game.

Orange and and green also coming in combination (especially in Hawkins school colors) indicates that these two colors have a strong relationship ....
Orange: Consumption
Green: Healing
But we need to consume our medicine, don't we?
Garfield is just pure gluttony, so sheer consumption without sense is bad. But consumption with purpose is something else entirely. Like food or medicine which we need.
