OK OK NOW WAIT what if in the events we dont get ep 9, since conformitygate evidence is too good to ignore, when they killed vecna, the mind flayer, and basically blew up the whole hive mind instead of it all dying, vecnas brain world thingy EXPANDED and ENGULFED the real world (or at least hawkins) whihc is why theres like- all of that.
and like even tho this can still happen even if conformitygate is real, also to put it in that context with the ending how it is just makes it 1000000000% more depressing bc theyd be trapped in vecnas mind forever BUT for me gives more closure to make sense of the ending yk
