The universe is funny, really. I am not religious...but I believe in energies and maybe signs...karma possibly? I feel there are mysteries out there that I don't know...none of us will truly know. I loved the Good Omens ending and it has consumed my thoughts and feelings daily since it aired. I've been a crying mess because I'll miss Crowley and Aziraphale though, in my reading of what we saw, they are scattered everywhere, they'll meet everywhere, every time. They fall in love EVERY TIME. While on my way to work yesterday I saw 2 classic cars. I live in the US (New Jersey), they weren't Bentley's but wow did they look like them. We met at an intersection going opposite ways at first, and then we we were heading the same way. A black car and a silver car. I immediately was calling them Crowley and Aziraphale. I called my husband bawling my eyes out. We traveled the same road together...and I know they were a pair because at one point they got separated by a light. The Crowley car waited for the Aziraphale car. I kept calling my husband with updates. I was listening to an Ineffable Husbands Playlist and having the silliest crash out. I had to take a picture or else no one would believe me. I wish I could have gotten a better one to show how gorgeous these cars were. I doubt these people are here on Tumblr (they were older people driving these cars, maybe to a classic car meet?), but either way it felt like a sign....they are still out there. Not the same form always (the Aziraphale car is a Packard Twelve)...but they were right in front of me when I needed them the most.
Aziraphale and Crowley's last kiss explained (by a European) โจโค๏ธ
I shall jump straight to the point: people online did NOT seem pleased with Aziraphale and Crowley's last kiss. However, unlike them, i believe this was a deeply meaningful, touching and romantic moment for us to see and i thought I'd give my two cents about it too.
For starters: this was an APOLOGY kiss. That's right people, not a simple "I love you" or "I like you back" kiss but a PROPER apology kiss. Aziraphale reaches for it first, it's the first thing that comes to his mind when he realizes this might actually just be the last time they ever get to see each other. He wants to start over, do it better, and in order to do that he needs Crowley's forgiveness for everything that has happened in the past few years for things to finally be RIGHT.
He also touches his lips the same way he did when he first got kissed by Crowley at the end of season 2, except this time he does it to "give it back". It simbolizes Crowley's feelings being reciprocated, a tender act of apology for not kissing him back the first time but finally doing it right this time. He no longer thinks of that touch to his lips with sorrow or hatred or confusion, but rather as an answer, as something beautiful, as the love he's always felt but could never find the courage to openly reciprocate until now.
As for a possible additional meaning, here in Europe a kiss given by the fingertips can symbolize many things. One of them is "farewell" (and given the context of this scene i might add this kiss was the perfect choice), it's a sign of respect and profound admiration, it's a tender act to say goodbye in a polite and innocent way: it's pure, just like them.
Additionally, in my country, a kiss by the fingertips is most commonly known as a religious act, a sign of devotion and adoration done to the feet of sacred statues and holy sculptures; it symbolizes complete submission to our deepest love for the holy and to surrender to the greatness of the saint we behold, to give them our complete and undoubted faith.
it's loyal, It's devoted and faithful, It's endlessly filled with love and respect, it's playful and innocent but also clever and bold: it represents Aziraphale PERFECTLY. โค๏ธ
i believe we were very lucky to be able to see the different ways these two characters express their love for one another, we get to see how Crowley expresses his love through a kiss and we get to see how Aziraphale does it in his own way. They both come straight from the heart, both dripping with need and affection and love, but each in their own, unique ways.
Their kiss is THEM, it's a reflection of what they think of one another, how they see each other, and how they perceive their relationship. And i think it's the single most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a very, VERY long while.
This is beautiful! I'm not religious but I saw this as the continuation of the kiss in Season 2...the reciporical answer. Both Aziraphale and Crowley have damn big brains and would know all of any other takes and reads on this. In my opinion, they have developed their own secret language over the millenia. Aziraphale answers, and Crowley also acknowledges, answers with a kiss back, both smiling and knowing with those looks before getting whisked away into....the fabric of the new universe itself. Yeah, more ugly crying...to me, this is beautiful and perfect.
Some thoughts on Good Omens 3 (mostly positive). Music discussion as well! Spoilers ahead, you have been warned...
I commend everyone who had to take a story that was mostly done for about...what...6 episodes and condense it into a little over 90 minutes. That couldn't have been easy and I can easily see where things were cut down, plots that could have been explored, etc. We got a conclusion, and I really liked it. I validate everyone who is also upset, you are seen and loved. These are my feelings on the matter and how I reacted.
Let me talk about David Arnold, the composer for the ENTIRE SERIES. I LOVE the work he has done! His music has moved me almost equally so to the depth of this entire story. Below is where I was inspired to learn the music to the end credits of Season 2 called "The End?" (See my link below if you are so inclined). The piece broke me at the end of Season 2. It's mournful with the cello, longing for love to be free. Violins are mixed in, and the ascending arpegios at the end are moving toward something...planning, hoping to find a solution to this massive problem.
Looking at the title tracks for the Good Omens 3 soundtrack, there is a title towards the end called "In The Garden." As of the date of writing this (May 14, 2026) the soundtrack hasn't beem released yet. [EDIT: Soundtrack is out and it IS In The Garden]. This would match up to The Talk Crowley and Aziraphale have in private....in a bookshop with a garden created just for the 2 of them...in a universe that was destroyed all around them except for this little piece that represents Just Them. And the music? Ugh, it's THE SAME. It's basically a reprise! This is where I lost it. Ugly crying. And it's asking us to think of where we heard the music and the theme and WHY. Is this The End? Is the decision they are about to make truly going to be The End of THEM? Everything around them has already vanished...they can't save what is no longer there. If they put things back as they were, it would be a copy...and the same problems would continue to exist. The end of Season 2 we thought the same thing...is this The End for them? Decisions made were made out of love...so the Decisions made here are ALSO made from love...of humanity, of each other, of the ability for EVERYONE to choose...never needing to hide love in secret...not for angels, demons or even humanity. The Decision they need to make now is even scarier...a jump into the unknown. They make it together believing that this truly is The End of them. And yes...in a big huge way that's true, but they are also ensuring The End of a broken and corrupt system that supported ongoing fighting and war, and an inability for Crowley and Aziraphale to ever be together out in the open. They were always afraid of showing their love openly since if they were caught, death was always threatened. They couldn't go back to a world like that. So...They Decide and with love they jump into the dark...into The End. Or....The End? Because....there was ALWAYS a question mark in the title of the original composition. It's asking us to think if this is TRULY The End or not.
My belief is that no, this is not The End. Yes, in a big way it is...we aren't seeing Aziraphale and Crowley as we know them. They truly believed they were making a Godless universe...as they are asking God Herself to make it. Ah, the mysteries of life, the universe and everything. God, who just told Aziraphale about how much she loved seeing the love he has for Crowley...well, that love is so powerful that it had to have been seeded into the very fabric of that new universe. I believe that Crowley and Aziraphale's souls were so powerful, their love so strong, them working together could make something so huge that they were able to ensure they were meeting in every life whichever kinds of lifeforms, and ALWAYS finding love with each other. You know what? God Herself of course let that happen as well. (Another take is that the love was so powerful it even transcended the Will of God Herself.) Asa Fell and Anthony Crowley are just one incarnation we get to meet. And when they get old and die their souls perhaps meet again in the molecules of the universe, collect the memories and add them to perhaps a mystical book somewhere, then dive back into physical form and do it all again. It's NEVER the end for these soul mates. The End? No...way.... And THAT'S how I lost it when I heard this composition and saw the ending. That's my interpretation of it all. And the beauty of art, of music, of stories...is that everyone sees things differently. There is no right or wrong way to feel about it. We are all each unique, have a different lived experience, and that is what shapes our perception of the world and reality around us. I might make another post again but right now I have to sleep and dream of the two Ineffable beings whose love is so strong it will outlive time and space itself...

Tonight..is the last night I won't know. I did a rewatch this weekend and yup, it still hits me. I was sobbing like a little baby. One....more...night. I live in EST time, so I'm setting an alarm for 3am and will hopefully drag myself out of bed by 4 and watch how it all ends. I love them so much. ๐๐คโค๏ธ๐ค๐๐คโค๏ธ๐ค

strangerthings.things just posted this on instagram
โiโll take you to Bradleyโs Big Buy if you know how to work a rotary phone โ๏ธโ
Based on the โnumbersโ shown in the video, the phone number is 18554295467.
Naturally, I called the number but it doesnโt seem to be connected.
I searched up the number and I found this Reddit post from six months ago:
Itโs strange that it seemed to have worked all that time ago but not now that theyโre posting about it (I donโt know where they found the number originally).
Anyway, we know that the WSQK van is a Chevrolet (excuse me for using the AI overview, I was being quick!) and that thereโs a Chevrolet banner in the graduation scene.
Is the number working for anyone else?
Hey all! I'm old enough to remember having a rotary phone. I was pretty good at using them and using them quickly. Know what's funny? They are dialing in REVERSE. I ALWAYS had to do turns CLOCKWISE, NOT counter-clockwise like we see here. Something something about mirrors, Alice Through the Looking Glass, mirror dimensions being backwards, etc.
Yup, about to see The First Shadow! Going to try and memorize all the things for theories for later. Seriously while waiting this is WBOB with Bob "The Brain" Newby. Someone just dedicated a song to Joyce! Off the phone goes until after the show!
I love that your prediction timeline is still correct, even if there was nothing during the Superbowl, we still got the TFS filming news. It really makes me happy to see somebody smart figure stuff out.
Thank you so much :D
I had to process the Super Bowl for a bit. I watched it with a bunch of theorists and to me it was a culture shock, to say the least. The non-stop ads, there was at most 5 minutes of actual American football and even that was overlayed with interviews and what not. The military presence, the patriotism, the ads promoting weight-loss, Jesus (?!) and AI, it all felt gross... That Bad Bunny๐ performance felt like a ray of light shining through a dark conformity cloud...
Some of the ads seem to have had some byler and conformitygate coding, but even if that isn't true that doesn't matter! The actors for Patty Newby and Martin Brenner, Gabrielle Nevaeh and Matthew Modine, respectively, posted a photo and comment that hinted at the Super Bowl being of relevance. The Super Bowl took place on the 8th of February, one of the dates predicted by the promotional timeline:
Matthew Modine on February 2nd, 2026:
Gabrielle Nevaeh on February 8th, 2026:
Social media spread the significance of the Super Bowl far and wide, so much so that many people believed an announcement trailer was going to happen. That in itself was enough promotion for Stranger Things.
Now, we have a big announcement that the ProShot for The First Shadow is being filmed between February 10 and February 14. At the scene of the crime, Collider and @Updates_SThings:
Netflix will release a filmed version of the Stranger Things: The First Shadow Broadway play, revealing the origin story of Vecna.
This news came out after people saw that the Broadway Production of The First Shadow is on a small hiatus from February 8 to February 15, closed the public. https://tickets.broadwaydirect.com/tickets/series/787264
Collider was the first to report on Nikki Baxter (curse her name) on Jun 11 (2025) and @Updates_SThings was the only semi-official account with clear Nikki Baxter (curse her name) concept art, that they posted on Nov 6 (2025).
To this day, I don't understand the role of Collider in the Stranger Things ARG. Are they in on it or are they being played?
During a panel on Aug 6 (2025) the actor for Jim Hopper, David Harbour, makes a joke about Collider, starting from 21:00: "Yes Collider, Joyce and Hopper do have A SCENE in Season 5."
Laughter ensues. This comment was clearly made to make fun of their lackluster reporting. If anyone has more proof that the Stranger Things team is not a fan of Collider, especially the writers, please leave it in comments, reblogs or send me a DM. I'm trying to gather evidence.
Anyway, the fact that promotion has been consistently following a pattern and becoming more significant in nature with each weak, means the Stranger Things PR and social media teams are still on their grind to promote the show, not just Stranger Things: Tales of 85 or The First Shadow by themselves.
Let's update the promotional timeline. I am pretty certain both Feb 8 and Feb 10 should be considered major promotional content drops, I will have to adjust the predicted promotional timeline a bit.
Promotional Timeline 3.0
Jan 1 -> Jan 6/7 -> Jan 12 -> Jan 17 -> Jan 23 -> Jan 28 -> Feb 2 -> A or B
A -> Feb 8 -> Feb 13/14 -> Feb 18/19/20 -> Feb 23/24/25/26
B -> Feb 10 -> Feb 15/16 -> Feb 20/21/22 -> Feb 25/26
We have two possible routes, depending on the next major promotional content drop, we will end up in Route A or Route B. Route A is the exact same one I had previously established, no changes at all. Route B is a bit adjusted, to take The First Shadow into account. Those routes have Feb 20 in common. We will see in the upcoming days which route it's going to be. The cut-off for now is copyrightgate on Feb 26.
I will summarize the conclusions of copyrightgate. I discussed this prior with @thebestofmyrmidons, but I'll correct myself if something is still off in my understanding of the theory:
- It is odd practice for Stranger Things S5 E2-E8 to not have been registered for copyright closely after their respective release dates.
- If the episodes aren't registered for copyright before Feb 26, we know with high certainty that E2-E8 are going to be altered.
- It's risky business for them to wait until after Feb 26. After Feb 26, they can still claim damages, BUT they won't be able to claim statutory damages, if infringement happens on a date, when their content has not been registered (yet) for copyright.
The question is: What kind of gambling is the Stranger Things team partaking in?
It seems that content alteration is going to happen regardless if we pass Feb 26, because E1 has been registered for copyright quickly and smoothly.
Are they waiting and not attempting to register before Feb 26, because they have something up their sleeve before that date? Or, are they really stretching their luck, because they have their sights on a particular date in March or later?
Whatever happens, my prediction is we will know something concrete by the end of February.
I have a hard time seeing the point of the latter outside of an uncharacteristic release on a significant date in-universe, March 22nd. I do NOT think Netflix or the Stranger Things team would take a legal risk for something, so... silly. You all know my views on numerology and vibes. I'm not entertaining this. Attention span, maximal impact on the audience and the budget for promotion are the main factors that determined the release date.
MMUUAHAHAHAHA YES, the promotional dates are holding strong!! ๐๐๐๐
I'm Still on The Bus
I didn't spend the last month finding crazy references and parallels to both IRL and fictional sports stories just to chock it all up to coincidence.
It's not just those details though, I have always felt the strongest evidence for Stranger Things NOT being complete comes from the narrative itself. Just because we didn't get confirmation of that during the Super Bowl doesn't change my opinion on that. It was just a hypothesis, but certainly not conditional to the entire idea of conformitygate.
My opinion might change if copyrightgate falls through, but until then, we still have an unsolved mystery on our hands. I personally have the bandwidth and balance in my everyday life to continue pursuing answers, but no judgement to anyone who feels differently. At the end of the day, this is a TV Show and is meant to spark joy. If it doesn't do that for you anymore, I completely understand setting it aside for a time.
And as always, if you disagree with my thoughts on the matter, you can be respectful about it or keep your opinion to yourself :)
Well said @strangesunrises !! I actually watched the super bowl (mostly for the commercials, the pre and half time shows, and any hint of conformitygate), and I'm NOT a sports person! While there were some things I saw that could be a stretch (some logos were glitching), and there were some commercials that were 80's focused (maybe even some blue and yellow colors), nothing was solid. It got me thinking...are they REALLY going to come out with an official announcement like is common or typical of most media? If they are going to do something different, they'll present it in a different way. You know what HAS been happening? Matthew Modine, Papa himself, posting some interesting stuff on Instagram! Maybe these are the hints we are meant to look at, NOT the big conformity type things everyone is looking at. The devil's in the details, isn't it?
Today is the day....superbowlgate. I write this at just a little after 11am EST. The game starts at 6:30pm EST. I know there are SO MANY clues we have all seen, posted, reblogged, liked, etc. ๐ too many for me to identify here. I figured I might post random thoughts as they spring into my mind throughout the day. So, here's something that's been bugging me, and I don't know how far back it goes in the season. The engagement scene at Enzo's. GRANTED I'm a firm believer that this is the part where everyone (Hawkins etc.) are trapped in Vecna's mind/are flayed. I just thought it was odd that Joyce and Hopper didn't really kiss. Sure it LOOKED sweet, he kisses her on the top of the head, she gives him sweet looks, they dance, but no kiss at a marriage proposal? These 2 PASSIONATE people who have been shown to BE PASSIONATE and ECCENTRIC throughout the seasons...had basically a low key engagement? It goes into some people's theories of Joyce being the mind flayer (apologies to those of you who have posted this theory, I can't remember who posted it, but I acknowledge you here). OR it goes to the theory of memories being messed with...which could change personalities. Then I was thinking about Joyce this season. Has she felt off to you? At times a but watered down from her eccentric ways? It felt off at times, but in the context of her also being flayed, that makes sense. I know on a personal level I was crying, went on my knees and kissing my (now) husband like crazy when he proposed. Hopper proposing to Joyce was just too safe, and I think that's supposed to tip off to everyone that this world is completely off.

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day...and that's also a famous (and most excellent) movie. I'm older than a lot of people on this platform but I have to assume other people are in my age bracket (I'm 44) and have seen this classic. It's a famous time loop movie. What better day to tease something about Stranger Things and conformitygate than to tease it on Groundhog Day? (At least, before it hopefully is teased at the superbowl).
I'm not particularly interested in speculating on dates for potential extra episodes but since a lot of people are talking about Valentine's day I just wanted to point out that is the day that Joel and Clementine meet again in Montauk.
The show seemed to have been self-aware about it being Christmas in Vol 2. They were self aware that it was the 4th of July for S3, and just before Halloween in S2. So it would be cool if it did happen on Valentine's Day.
YESSSSS PLEASE!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐
With everyone talking about the dial switching from grey to red, that's not the only huge thing that changed color (that funnily enough is also shaped like a circle). I know the merry-go-round had a focus on the color changing in the middle from yellow to grey.
Just remember, though, that when we FIRST saw this merry-go-round it was RED.
It was red because it was a sign Holly was taken by Henry/Vecna!
This is Episode 2 (The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler). It's the first time we see this merry-go-round, so someone might think that's the original color. It's not until a few episodes later with enough time passing for us to forget the original color so we aren't really questioning anything when we see the merry-go-round as yellow and blue. Plus, there's so much emphasis on the color change from yellow to grey in Holly and Max's conversation and travel through it into Holly's room that the red color we saw in Episode 2 is never discussed or brought up again.
EDIT: this merry-go-round is actually in front of Vecna's house, not the one from the school yard. I still think it falls in line with an object being in front us that's discussed and shown as being red and being connected to Vecna! Thanks for the catch @lavendernhoney ! ๐
The twitching of frustration my eye makes when people try to claim some prop person just randomly changed the dial color is pretty impressive! ๐คฃ All of this is done FOR A REASON!
That merry-go-round is physically pretty big, and in these scenes it takes up a lot of visual space...it's screaming LOOK AT ME! It's a CLEAR sign that if something like this can change color, other things that change color (like the dial) are POSSIBLE and even PROBABLE. It further forces us to ask about the color changes of objects, and under what circumstances do color changes occur. And the connection here to this color change? Holly was taken by Vecna. So...other objects changing to red (that might be smaller and a little less noticeable)? You better believe Vecna/Henry has something to do with it!
#Conformitygate (possible) Valentines Day drop proof
So I was going to go draw the dice at the end credits right. Because im normal about conformitygate.
then i remembered Mike rolling the 20 as a 20 day countdown... but if you paid attention to the #'s surrounding the dice it was actually a 1, foreshadowing mike being vecnad etc etc..
so that got me thinking. remember that dice in the credits that everyone thought meant jan 7? what if it was wrong too?
lo and behold... it was... (checked on other dice as well! the seven is not supposed to be an upside down triangle either...)
but the numbers didnt work for any other side of the dice (like how it did with mikes dice) so im like. Okay. they must be significant in their own right.
so uh... i did a little math...
ignore the jan 1st bc i forgot that the finale dropped on new years eve...
I think this could be evidence for a drop on Valentines day? It would fit with the holiday drops!
It also lines up well with @mixu's mayonnaise commercial superbowl trailer theory AND @whispering-goat's range of dates...
i dont wanna jump to conclusions (i have been known to do so) but this feels BIG.
also... whos the heart?
none other than mike queerler himself ๐ฉต

Full transparency....I'm NOT a sports person, never have been, never will be. I DO know people who are, and I've heard enough about sports in my life to know how fans talk about sports. So if fans talk about specific game plays, or even yell at the screens about specific plays that are being made, coaches would say the same, right? Well, if that's the case, then why does Steve make the MOST GENERIC statements about playing baseball (which he historically never played).
"Baseball ready! Baseball ready!" Great coaches pull their team together, talk about plays, but this is SO GENERIC! Then he says this....
"No mental mistakes!" That's odd phrasing, isn't it? I've heard things like "Keep your head in the game!" Now, when you are in a DREAM you often are in situations you'd never find yourself in before. So when that happens, your brain makes things to try and fill in the gaps. So, never played baseball? Yeah, "baseball ready" sounds good right? Phrasing in dreams is strange, too...so "no mental mistakes" seems to follow how your brain phrases things when you're asleep. Also, could Steve at some point realize that something isn't right? Is he psyching himself up to have "no mental mistakes" so he can be alert to clues? This all works when you consider that not only Mike but EVERYONE is under Vecna's Curse!
As a former softball player I wanted to give some background on the โno mental mistakesโ line.
This is something I was told VERY often while playing, but thatโs because softball/baseball are highly mental games. There are a lot of quick decisions you need to make on both offense and defense, and every error can become a turning point in the game. A common phrase I had drilled into my brain was that "baseball is often won not by the team who can hit the most runs, but by the team who can eliminate the most errors in the field."
There are hand signals that the coach often uses to let the batter/baserunners know when to steal or stay on base, when to slide, or what kind of strategy to use while batting (bunt, try to draw out a walk, aim for a certain weak spot in the field, etc).
Same thing on defense, the coach, pitcher, and catcher typically have established signals for each pitch; at younger levels, the coach typically calls the pitches by signaling the catcher first, who then relays them to the pitcher. At older levels, the catcher and pitcher typically have a better understanding of the game and their own rhythm, so the calls become more of their responsibility. I personally think it's interesting that Derek is the catcher (this was my primary position), as this is THE most mentally intense position on the field. They have to keep an eye out for runner's stealing and decide quickly if/who to throw to if someone does. They are involved in every play, even if indirectly, as they have the job of calling out the bases that other defensive need to throw to/tag in order to get the runners out and prevent anyone from making it home.
Another interesting thing about baseball compared to other sports is what determines a win in the event of a tie. In baseball, if both teams are tied in the 9th inning, you go into "extra innings". Each team gets equal opportunity to bat and score so that there is a clear, decisive winner in the end. Home team usually has the advantage of batting last, as the longer the game goes, the more mental energy it takes to make clean defensive plays. What if the score is still tied after another inning? Simple, you keep playing.
Thank you so much for this! LOL like I said earlier, I'm NOT a sports person. Given this really great analysis, maybe others are onto something being off? Gotta keep focused to see the things that are off? Or maybe it's just the start and more innings are needed?

EDIT: Please see the reblog from @strangesunrises who clarifies sports things, specifically related to softball/baseball. It's an EXCELLENT overview of just how mental baseball is, and if there are no winners they just keep playing, adding more innings, until there IS a winner!! ๐๐๐๐
You say you can't support the potential meta of Stranger Things due to the political climate.
I say the political climate is why you should support it. Take it from someone whose parents grew up in a dictatorship, if we are right and this is meta is FAR more risky for them to do what they're doing.
The Duffers are using the fact they're white and in positions of power right now. Has no one noticed or found it odd how they painted huge targets on their backs?
How if we are right, they told Noah to talk poorly about the ending which now has made a lot of the hate he used to get die down or be directed at the Duffers?
Is no one finding it extremely weird that they never came across this insensitive up until now?
I will probably get hear but fuck it. If they're doing this is far more risky than just straight up giving people byler.
I honestly can't remember which interview I saw with Finn talking about loving this season and also telling the Duffers he was afraid FOR them. It felt he was hinting that there was something so big that was going to happen that could get the Duffers a lot of backlash. It's one of the reasons I'm firmly planted on the bus. If anyone knows or can find this interview please free to post it or comment with it!
Oh I haven't heard about this interview! Do you remember if it was an article or a video interview by any chance?
I remember it being a video interview especially because I remembered Finn's expressions. I saw the interview a WHILE ago. For the life of me, I can't remember if it was in a talk show or some random place. I think he was asked about which season was his favorite and he said 5. I believe this interview was BEFORE the season aired. LOL I wish my memory was better. My hats off to everyone who can zoom into the minute details of something and pull them from memory years later! ๐
Oh that is already helpful! Thank you very much! I'll see if I can find it โบ๏ธ
That's awesome, thanks! ๐๐๐๐
