...LIKE THE GARDEN

-Hopper-Byers family [trauma-] bonding

-specifically involving Jonathan, like with either parent tbh

-"Byers Twins" teaming up... possibly super powers involved? like either Will has hidden powers or El helps him get some

-Wayne involvement PLEASE

-going off the former, bc the Duffers said the parents were getting involved, Dustin somehow setting up his mom and Wayne

-as sad as it is, explore Dustin's trauma

-Lucas's too, and honestly maybe they'd bond over it and help each other? they were such a great duo in seasons 1 and 2 and I want that back

-Steve and Robin have a new job at some sort of stupid children's pizza place lmao (Freddy Fasbear core hahaha)

-but in all seriousness they need to still keep a running gag of them having a job together at a new place every season

-badass Karen Wheeler teaming up with Nancy

-overall more parent/child bonding now that the parents will be involved ig?

-Eddie somehow PLEASE, ideally back from the dead but it seems more likely that they'd bring him back as a Vecna vision (that'd rip me to shreds but hey at least more content)

-feel like this is self explanatory but Max being okay

-BUT FIRST, Vecna using her as a puppet

-more of a theory I have that I want to be correct, but I want them to show where she is, if she's alive but El couldn't find her. since Max wasn't totally gone when Vecna got disintegrated, what if she's trapped in Vecna's mindscape?

-badass Erica moment. spoiler alert she actually single-handedly defeata Vecna by roasting him so goddamn hard he cannot recover

-please not let this end badly but I want a Steve and Dustin callback to the "no. if you die, I die" line. AGAIN tho nothing bad should come of it please

-let Sam Owens be alive. #justice for Sam

-let Dart somehow come back and help save Dustin #justice for Dart

-Mike and Nancy acting like actual siblings but like not just fighting. like, looking after each other

-holly being sentient, yk she'll be about 10/11 it's about damn time

-IF he does come back, I want a fucking Twilight-style scene to For Whom the Bell Tolls where the camera spans the Upside Down around the trailer, dramatically and all that. on the last bell chime in the intro when the bass starts, it zooms into Eddie, laying dead on the ground. a gnarly hand reaches into frame in front of his face, and Eddie's eyes fly open. boom roll credits as the song goes on

Ya want Jonathan being dumb as fuck while stoned? How about Steve? Enjoy.

“I’m telling you, he’s gay.”

Steve twisted his head none too subtly and peered over towards the pair of boys who were huddled outside the video store, standing next to an ostentatiously obnoxious yellow-coloured pizza delivery van. The two of them seemed to be laughing at something, and the one with the long hair—Arthur? Anthony?—was wildly waving the copy of Revenge of the Nerds he had just rented in Jonathan’s face, while the other grinned, pulling open the van’s trunk door.

“He’s not gay,” Steve said with a offput frown. “This is Jonathan we’re talking about. He’s…different,” he told Robin carefully, struggling to come up with the right words. “Kind of an ass sometimes, but…”

“Gay,” Robin interjected with. “You didn’t see the look he gave you last week when you took your shirt off at the lake.”
