STRANGER THINGS

S2E4: Will The Wise

• (1:00) Has anyone tried slapping him? Is that advised? Push him? Some severe physical stimuli to bring him back? Just curious...

• (3:30) See? She's being very upfront with Will there. She's got substantial evidence and genuine concerns given the unknown nature of what they're suddenly dealing with.

• (4:26) Jesus, that kid is phenomenal. Has he won a emmy yet?

• (5:00) It's sweet but don't make promises you can't keep. You don't know if you can fix anything, but just promise to be there fighting beside him.

• (5:50) Yes, let's piss off the supernatural kid by establishing only you get to break rules and not be held accountable. That sets a great precedent. Your relationship is gonna be so much stronger now, Hop. 🤦‍♀️😑

• (6:47) You lied, dude. Accept it. You didn't meet your end of 'halfway happy' and you got called out.

• (7:50) And you, sir, need to understand... there are consequences to your actions, too. Parents get mad, yea, but stop doubling down on punishment when you're half to blame for this whole thing. Being a good parent is about accountability. What you teach, how you react, the example you set. I'm not a greta parent but I am the one raising my kid and he is a reflection of me. Did you like it when your parents tore you down or disregarded how you felt? No one does. And it didn't make you stronger it made you colder. Ice still breaks.

• (8:22) Brat. Noun. An ill-mannered annoying child.

• (8:44) He's lucky she didn't throw him.

• (11:58) That's a good idea. To start recording any physical symptoms or changes.

• (12:42) Dustin also need to start taking notes on Dart, but also... what if Dustin feeding him nougat is why he's so big so quick? Can they digest sugar? Is it gonna explode from too much chocolate? These questions must be answered.

• (14:55) Ok, Joyce call Owens. This reached new level of danger when Will says "He likes it cold" and motherly love isn't much of a weapon in reality as we know it.

• (15:31) There ya go... there ya go, say... No, you dick! Stop being tough guy, you idiot... 🤦‍♀️

• (16:20) Billy just keeps needing Steve like he's trying to be punished by Steve in some sexy way and poor Steve is just like 'wat?'

• (16:50) And that was Steve's awakening to the absolute beast that is Billy. He's looking for a fight and doesn't give a shit who it is he fights. And he's chosen Steve.

• (17:00) Billy staring at Steve with that loving gaze. But he never looks down at Steve's body. And he doesn't even smile when Tommy teases him about Nancy. Though Steve does gaze to his right and slightly downcast (... which is where? 😁) Then Billy calls him a pretty boy, and the way he emphasized "bitches"... he's so hitting on Steve. And I honestly don't know if Steve is considering it or not.

• (18:00-19:50) Fuck, that got my heart pumping! XD

• (21:50) The word spreading got Hopper's attention.

• (24:03) I'm sorry, but you find a new species of unknown origin a year after your friend went to another 'plane of existence' and you never thought the two might be connected? Cause I would've been suspicious as fuck if some eye-less pollywog was found scavenging for food in my trash can. I'd be like Craig from South Park. Nope. Nope. Nope.

• (25:36) Why stash those and the kid in the same house? Especially if you didn't want her to see them?

• (26:55) See? Even he knows how to take accountability. Oh, good, they've confirmed they ARE trying to close it. Or erase it. Not harness ot in any way.

• (29:10) I... uh... I don't see... what she sees.... >_>

• (30:40) There it was! He got it now.

• (31:40) Billy is watching this... this whole exchange. Why does he care this kid upset her? Shouldn't that please him in that it's indicative of a negative interaction for Max? I dunno... but it makes me want to read Werewolf Gimmik again...

• (35:00) Oh boy, Hopper... you're never gonna gear the end of this.

• (37:40) Poor kid... 💔

• (40:00) Nancy's motivation for this is her own feelings. Her guilt over Barb. I don't disagree with her actions, just the reason behind it.

• (41:22) I can't even imagine the amount of 'oh shit' thoughts running through his mind right meow...

• (41:34) How many hole do you think Hopper dug looking for the tunnel? How deep to you think he was aiming for before starting again somewhere else?

• (42:45) Nice closing shot...

[theranilord]

STRANGER THINGS

S2E3: The Pollywog

• (1:00) Wow, that whole exchange felt so awkward.

• (3:03) Glad there's a roof on that tank...

• (5:35) *sigh* Yes, let's bribe her with food before chastising her for mentally visiting a friend when this SUPERPOWERED CHILD could walk away any day she wanted too.

• (7:58) Will looked genuinely happy to get to go with Bob. They could've been such a happy family.

• (8:40) Dustin won the hearts of millions by shouting 'I need my paddles' while stealing a stack of library books.

• (10:26) His advice is so well intentioned.. to bad there's a literal monster.

• (11:05) She's got a point, getting my husband's ashes took, like, 20 days. And that was without an investigation and protests from family that he

• (11:50) This dude need to narrate his own unsolved mysteries show. He's got the voice for it...

• (13:20) Hopper, I get you finally see what's going on, but your men have lives besides work. And they don't know about the interdimensional invasion. Maybe cut them some slack.

• (14:40) See? This is what happens. The superpowered fugitive kid gets bored and goes off by herself. If you aren't meeting their needs, that just teaches kids you don't care. Or anybody, really. Poor Eleven is tired of being a prisoner...

• (19:19) Billy's just staring at Steve. He's not even looking at the ball... just saying >_>

• (19:32) Oh, yeah. Billy wants to dominate his ass... in more ways than one. Bringing up his rep and that he threw it away... The phrase "turned bitch" shouldn't be said with a look so intense. And licking your lips so boldly at the person you say it too? It's rather... erotic. 🥵

• (20:36) Steve saw Jonathan on his way out. This feels like Steve knew there was something blooming between Nancy and Johnathan. "Your other boyfriend"? I think this was Steve being gracious as he could be, despite how hurt he was.

• (20:53) Girl, he's so sad and earnest. I want to hug him. And all he needed was for her to say it. After that guy came out to find Steve, Nancy looked away, but Steve kept looking at her. This boy gave up everything he once valued for her and she couldn't say it. But now that's Steve's heart and eyes are more open to the people around him, he can't ever go back to how he once was.

• (23;00) Will... if ever there was a time to tell people about the upside down visions, and the thing larvae that escaped from your mouth... that was it. 🤦‍♀️

• (24:19) Ugh, stop making me love Bob! I know you're just gonna rip my heart out later. 🥺

• (24:59) Whoop. I think Bob now sees Joyce in Momma Bear mode and got nervous. But I love that he admires her for her strength.

• (26:23) You hear of a black, slimy rot in a three mile radius of your building and you play it off? Man, this literally shows that you have lost control of whatever you're hiding. At least placate Hopper by telling him you'll do your own investigation and.... fucking INVESTIGATE!

• (28:08) Nancy, really just comes across to me as sanctimonious this season. I guess since Steve becomes Mom, they still needed someone to be... more dick-ish. What a swap. 🤷‍♀️

• (30:00) Don't lie, man. Damnit... age appropriate honesty goes a long way. Lying to your kids, even if you think they can't handle it only delay dealing with reality. Kids are quite resilient.

• (32:20) Dude, what if blue meant it didn't work? You hung up on him way too soon! ...doesn't anyone say 'goodbye' anymore? 😑

• (32:57) Ok, I feel like Joyce and the christmas lights were so popular, they leaned into "Manic Mom Energy" but, also it's very convenient the video tape recorded the Upside Down monster in the static.

• (34:10) Good man, Will. Told someone first chance he got. 👏

• (34:47) Mike's an asshole, but he listened to Will and handled that well. I give props when I see them.

• (36:05) *Sigh* I miss seeing the world as black and white as kids. When you get older you start realizing there's not always a good and bad choice just a choice. Any maybe you make the wrong one, but it doesn't mean you're bad unless bad is all you want out of life. Just because the road to hell is paved with good intentions doesn't mean you're a demon. You know? Dustin's right, Dart isn't "evil" but what it is and it's nature have a history of destructive and violent. *Sigh*

• (38:26) Wow, so she's just jumping right in. Ok, good luck, Nancy.

• (39: 32) That's not suspicious 🤣

• (42:02) One word, Mike. Therapy. Taking your own anger and emotional issues out on the people around you is a sure way to lose them... he lashed out at Dustin and Lucas, he lashed out at Will and now Max. Therapy, kids. It's an important tool.

• (42:14) I went down a deep reddit dive to find out how many classes D&D had in 1984. There were more classes than Paladin, Cleric, Bard, Ranger and Mage. Just saying...

• (44:00) Ok, don't do that "This bitch" shit to Joyce. She has legit reasons for being concerned beyond the interdimensional infiltration going on.

• (46:00) The fact it went into his hands willingly... does speak volumes. It knew he was bigger and yet still went to him and sat under his hat without trying to eat him...

• (47:00) Poor Will. This kid needs a vacation to somewhere sunny...

[theranilord]

STRANGER THINGS

S2E2: Trick Or Treat, Freak

• (:25) Oh, yeah... that's what happened...

• (3:11) She broke one membrane with her hand and then had to break another after widening the hole? Was this thing trying to close or did set just miss some continuity?

• (7:30) Dude do you teally think you can tell a kid about Halloween and they not want to go trick or treating? Especially if they've never experienced it before? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

(7:40) Oh, he's serious. Let me laugh harder. -_-

• (9:04) Poor kid. 🥺

• (9:40) Poor kid! 🤣

• (9:54) Man, that's a pretty cool proton pack. And I don't imagine those were readily available with a store bought costume, and Will's looks made, not bought, so shout out to Crafty Moms!

• (11:45) Hey, now, you watch your mouth about Winston. That man was the soul of Ghostbusters. Egon was the brains, Ray was the heart, and Venkman was the penis. Tell me I'm wrong.

• (12:10) Because people are lame! Who wouldn't wear a costume on Halloween? I worked my first Halloween shift at Dollar General as a rock style Green Fairy. I was Absinth. My first time dressing up as an adult, I went as Candy Angel from Radiskull and Devil Doll. No one knew who I was.

• (16:53) Petrified. The word he seems to be looking for is petrified. I let it go before, but I'm saying it now.

• (18:13) I mean Steve's trying to put thing back to normal without acknowledging what happened. That's where the split started.

• (20:00) She's so not impressed. And Dustin have no idea what "presumptuous" means 🤣 That kid, man...

• (22:40) Where did she learn how to skin a squirrel? How did she skin a squirrel? Inquiring minds want to know...

• (23:00) I thought she threw the squirrel at first. Nope, she threw a flaming log. But she did leave the squirrel. I would've taken the food with me.

• (24:44) and none of these farmers think that maybe it was someone other than the first guy hit? That maybe he was the start of a pattern? I mean this guys say he poisoned Merril's crops because he thought Merril poisoned his... did it seriously not cross anyone's mind that this was outsode influence until Hopper? You don't even really need to know about the Upside Down for this... I'm just sayin...

• (25:55) Jesus, what the hell happened to make them move to Hawkins? Billy is so... furious that they're here, and he blames Max. Max blamed him... *does a search* so, there's a book that goes more indepth, but since I am broke, i found a nice little bullet point summary written by MrPrettyWhenHeCries. I'm in love with that user name.

• (27:00) I think Billy would've hit them.

• (27:30) Nah, man, but this is a ground based problem. Like... I never would've suspected another person if this shit was on my property. I would've contacted a geological office or something.

• (29:22) Dude, you don't have to. She's happy and he's not a narcissistic asshole or an alchoholic who beats her. He's just dorky. Damn, Jonathan.

• (29:40) To Be Fair... Mike didn't dissappear and was declared dead by the government before being rescued from an alternate dimension where he was nearly assimilated by a some new species.

• (30:20) Good move, man. Will needs a night to just... be.

• (31:04) Ok... Hold the Fuck Up. So, Billy just set a new record for keg stand. We see a guy dressed as a neanderthal banging himself in the head as the crowd cheers. Then Billy starts playing with the toilet paper hanging from the ceiling, like it's the sexiest shit he's seen (that face he made, his tongue just barely hanging out) then he stops and he's seen something that pulls his focus and he has to just... be there. He pushes his way through the crowd and iver furniture, still staring and taking a drag of his cigarette before he stand there staring so incredibly intensely at Steve Harrington. Does he know his name before Tommy comes up and declares Billy the new Keg King. Steve just takes off his sunglasses and looks back at Billy with a look that screams "I don't care" and he walks after his girl. I think the "Billy is gay and Max outed him" theory may hold water here, because I didn't see any hint of agression in the way Billy looked at Steve. That looked way more... casual.

• (34:04) Ugh, he's so sweet! *Me*

• (34:40) You tell them, Dustin! Nougat is delicious!

• (35:09) You had your chance to protest the new addition to the friend group. You blew it.

• (35:50) Dude, didn't even think of warning her you might be late? Or even think of what the SUPERPOWERED CHILD would do if you didn't meet your end of the "Halfway Happy" agreement? Not once did Eleven cross your mind?!

• (36:44) 🤦‍♀️

• (37:50) Was that left by Mike or Hopper?

• (39:10) Mike! How dare you go after Will because you know he'll let you! Dustin and Lucas TRIED to ask you and you flaked! You leave Will alone! God, he's such an asshole. 😤

• (41:15) Mike being all protective like he didn't just verbally attack Will for his own negligence? Stop making me hate you!

• (42:17) Steve's trying so hard for her...

• (43:23) There's guilt, then there's Nancy Wheeler. She was taken by something. Nancy didn't put an 'eat me' sign on her or throw her at the Demogorgon. And it snatched her from the backyard pool, so it's not like she completely abandoned Barb to walk home alone or some shit. There's guilt of "maybe if I had" then there's "if not for some interdimensional parasite".

• (44:00) She Does Not Deserve Steve. If they get together at the end of season 5 I think I'd actually be upset. He deserves to get wish for a big family, just not with her.

• (44:40) .... I just don't care he's hung up on her. I agree with Max, "Dump your ass".

• (48:55) Dude, set the candy down and walk away. You fucked up hard.

• (49:15) Not manipulative at all, Hopper. Poor Eleven is gonna have relationship issues... speaking of...

[theranilord]

STRANGER THINGS

S2E1: MADMAX

•(:30) ...wait, are those the Toughs run by El's sister? I totally forgot about them. No disrespect to the actors, but the characters were like fireworks: Really cool; oh they're gone... Do you think they'll try to bring them back in season 5 for some kind of closure?

• (:50) Ten seconds between the alarm going off and the Cop showing up on their tail. Were they on stake out or something?

• (5:40) Man, Mike's such an asshole... literally dug through her drawers and emptied her piggy bank, grabbing what he could and practically throwing the rest, and bolting out the door? My parents would've physically and verbally tore me a knew one.

• (7:01) I was just watching my favourite anime that had a... homage/parody of... this game in it. Small world...

• (6:30) I mean, the shit she went through to get Will back, I'd never let my kid out of my sight. It'd hang back, but I'd stalk him. He was taken to an alternate dimension where at least one other person didn't make it back from. I admit, my parents were more paranoid raising me which gave me so much anxiety, but still...

•(8:15) How long until they noticed? A full minute.

• (8:30) PTSD or premonition? You decide.

• (10:54) So this is when Murry and Hopper... right. I'm trying to forget what I know, while still reflecting on 'what was' compared to 'what I know now'...

• (12:20) Oh, Steve, you're so hard on yourself. Academicly, emotionalllll- *Sees Billy's entrance* -lllly and mentally...

(14:27) No, really I had to stop what I was doing and just appreciate.... that intro.

• (14:40) I'm just not into butts. I think first thing I look for in a guy physically are his eyes. I'm looking for deep, ponderous eyes that have seen and felt to much more than you'll ever know... sorry, got lost there 😅

• (15:00) Damn, man. It's not even his fault the GOVERNMENT tried to fake his death. Some people need to get smacked...

• (15:37) I do like seeing this kind of Student/Teacher relationship. So wholesome.

• (16:18) Ladies and Gentleman, Sean Astin. 👏

• (17:13) I want a guy like that. Can't keep his hands off me in an affectionate, yet not clingy way. Who remembers what's important to me, namely my kid. Is my bar too low? I've been married to a manchild and a workaholic, so my experience is limited... 😅

• (20:00) Steve could probably hear her as she walked past with Jonathan.

• (21:30) She knew they would grab her trash? Really? She wasn't even looking at them when she threw it away... oh man, what if it was a note someone sent her? That'd be funny. 🤣

• (22:43) I've had someone say that to me. More than once... :/

• (26:10) Gotta say, he's trying to be straight with them. And he's right, it gets worse before it gets better. But it's not pretending that it didn't happen it's proving that it won't change things too much. I feel like there's a distinction.

• (27:58) Will stays overnight at the lab? Is he already in the car? Did they forget him? Where's Will?

• (29:20)Are they poking it or trying to keep it contained? One is more admirable...

• (30:15) Billy tells her not to expect... to make it home... can't tell the rest because Dustin and Lucas start talking. Then I hear her yelling, he shouts something then floors it. Man, can anybody else figure it out what they're saying? All I can find is "indistinct arguing"...

• (32:15) I feel like... The Duffer Brothers keep hitting gold, with certain side points, but they don't realize what they really have until it's too late to really... keep that vein open. Barb, Bob, Chrissy....

• (33:30) Does Murray know he's putting these people in this position? I hope he refunds them after he learns the truth...

• (36:10) Mike kinda gave up his right to object when he cut communication prematurely, Lucas. 🤷‍♀️

• (37:05) Oh, technology, your life span was alsays so short-lived.

• (41:10) The bathroom is the worst place for a supernatural encounter to happen...

• (44:36) Dude, don't go spouting rules when you missed a signal. That's why kids don't trust adults.

Ok, so that's the new format, what do you think?

[theranilord]

Ok, so we're gonna start tomorrow around 7pm CST on Stranger Things, but I will be starting with Season 2, as this is gonna be all about Billy and Steve. Plus I'm gonna do a new format of one poster per episode... unless I run out of room, but still, gonna try to organize things better. Also, to avoid spamming the fandom as a whole, I will not be using the 'Stranger Things' tag, but I will file these under 'Harringrove' and the episode name. 😅

Stay Tuned!

The Master. reblog if u agree

[theranilord]

Pretty sure I could lead my loved one out of a cave without looking. If fact, I wish to try. How does one seek an audience with Hades? Maybe if I cry, Persephone would help me at least get a chance to try...

[theranilord]

Oh wow.

I was rewatching Hot Fuzz and I just realized they knew Nicholas won against Michael. That's why they tested him with the 'Narp?' question. And Danny put the pieces together before he went to see Nicholas. I think that's when he decided to fake a stab to the chest to get Nicholas out of there.

[theranilord]

I am back and reloaded, so too is another poll.

[theranilord]

As someone with a hyperactive libido at age 8, we need more sex education. I had no freaking context when I found my parents porn stash...

I want to be a trusted source of information for my kid in every subject and if I don't know, we'll find out together.

saw someone say "an 11-year-old isn't even supposed to know what sex is and if you do something horrible must be happening to you and you need to get out of there" like can we be for real for a moment. have some people honest to god never heard 11-year-olds making sex jokes in their life

Oh my Glob, I found my favourite fanfic from 1999. I'm suddenly 13 again! 😭💚😭💚

[theranilord]

(person who learned from childhood to make themself as small and unimportant as possible to avoid being a burden) yeah its okay we dont have to do my thing if you dont want i dont mind

[theranilord]

On rewatch, I also noticed she omitted the line "...to take back the child you have stolen..." because Jareth didn't steal Toby. Sarah gave him away.

[theranilord]

If I could make any movie.. I'd make a Labyrinth sequal where the Goblin King passed away, and the Goblins need a new King... so they kidnap Toby (played by Toby Froud) who is trying to make a Kids show based on memories of his time in the Labyrinth, except he doesn't actually remember it, it just kinds of manifests in his artwork (like his IRL Dad, Brian Froud).

So Sarah has to go back through the Labyrinth and confront the characters she left behind and how much life has become more weighty as an adult. And after Toby learns about Sarah wishing him there as an infant, Toby is mad at Sarah, but eventually decides to proudly wear the mantle and continues to teach other teens about being careful what they wish for, Sarah learns to let go of the daily grind in favour of a more fun work/life balance with Hoggle, Ludo, Didymus and his small army of kids visiting Sarah and relaying messages from her baby brother.

Physically, I'm asleep. My eyes are closed and comfy, I'm in a good, warm secure position... but my brain is still going...
