You pretend you don’t gaf about Will or byler when you bring it up all the time just let it go

what's really funny here?

i say i'm going to be avoiding the byIer tag because i'm sick of everything being made about Will

anon acts like i'm saying they can't make things be about Will

i say that's not the case, i'm just expressing how i feel in an untagged post

anon tries to tell me what i can and cannot post about

like...you see the irony here, yeah?

also: i need you to understand that most often, when i post about the greater Will/byIer fandom, i'm making fun of it. it's imperative that you know i really don't care, and that most often i'm just having fun laughing at you guys. Will and byIer are only important to me insofar as what they contribute to the plot, because unlike the greater byIer fandom, i have not lost the plot.

closing question: why do you care so much about what I do?

You Speak Basic, Doc?

So. As a follow up to this post about the 2.08/2.09 HNL lights, I want to talk about something Wilbur just brought up in the server:

Very good fucking question. Why did he leave? And how did he end up in the stairwell that leads down to the basement?

Specifically, it's the same stairwell Bob just went down to reset the breakers and take the lab off lockdown:

(Which also, coincidentally, seems to be the same one El runs down in NINA to get to Henry and the tunnel out of the lab)

So...okay, cool. He was on his way to or from the basement after having left his little safe space in the upstairs security room.

That, however, brings me to another question: What is there for Owens to do in the basement?

Bob, as I said, went down there to reset the breakers and unlock the doors, because when the power cuts in HNL, the doors all lock. It's a lockdown.

So really...what else is there to do in the basement, besides no-scope demodogs and go "ooh" at the weird, pulsing mega-pussy gate? Owens doesn't have a gun, and he's been staring that weird, pulsing mega-pussy gate in the face for like a year now. Which means...it's probably not that.

So...could he have been trying to reinstate the lockdown by flipping the breakers Bob had fixed?

Well. Let's think about the "why"s of that.

First off, Owens knows firsthand that a lockdown isn't going to do shit against the demodogs.

A) The tunnels already allow them to circumvent the lab exits. Owens is aware of said tunnels.

B) The demodogs can smash through polycarbonate. Owens literally sees one do so.

So they could easily just tear right through any doors in their path. A lockdown makes no sense...for creatures.

No. Lockdowns are primarily for humans.

In fact...If I had to bet, the lockdown protocol in HNL has to do with the whole "keeping people from escaping the child torture basement" thing we see in ST4.

But...the prison-basement ended with El in 1983, right? So the question remains: What would Owens be locking down in the basement, and why hide his reasons for going downstairs?

Unless, of course, the prison-basement didn't end in 1983. And, of course, unless there's something worth securing down there that we're not yet privy to.

And along those lines: Why are so many demodogs staying in HNL? Why concentrate in the lab, when the tunnels will take them anywhere under Hawkins in pursuit of Will? There were more than enough to spread out and search. If it was about guarding the gate against El, they'd just leave some at the entrances, or swarm wherever she happened to be (which is where Will is, coincidentally). I thought Vecna could read minds even without an open gate. If he's supposedly involved in this...then why not just swarm the Byers house? Why still concentrate in the lab after they find out where Will is?

That is to say...what are they looking for, specifically in HNL, after they've found out that Will's left the building?

TL;DR: Owens...there wasn't someone down there that you needed to lock down, right? Someone to be retrieved later? Someone the democreatures might have a vested interest in finding?

are you a beloved mutual? no? then i probably don't care what you think is fake or not. sorry 😐

[henrysglock]

I'm sorry but those are the fakest episodes titles I've ever seen, they come from the same guy who said season 5 would air before the end of the year

okay then don't believe them. no skin off my nose

[henrysglock]

if it's the vanishing of karen wheeler and we get those sweet, sweet 1950s flashbacks with her brother edward creel and it was the girls who were swapped rather than the boys—[sounds of a struggle as i'm carted off]—ALICE ISN'T ALICE, SHE'S—[the duffers gag me with a ball gag like i'm "henry" in tfs]

So...Who is Frank Darabont? Well. He's quite someone, isn't he?

He also wrote for and did screenplay for The Walking Dead.

[henrysglock]

do you think camazotz could be the name for dimension x??? a planet consumed by darkness, ruled by a powerful being that controls everyone's minds (mind flayer/the shadow), and the creepy suburban vibe at first reminds me of henry's monologue and flashback sequence...

Could be!

The creepy suburban vibe actually reminds me a lot of TFS, which has heavy unreality/late-70s stuff in it despite supposedly being set in the 50s. like TFS is very much Manufactured and anachronistic. it's definitely giving "silly terrible play". I wouldn't be surprised if a) this has something to do with NINA, b) NINA has something to do with the Shadow, and c) both of them have a role in TFS.

tl;dr: Maybe NINA, or the Shadow-induced NINA thing in the VR, are the "camazotz" here.

fingies crossed so tight that episodes 4, 5, 6 are the henward episodes they appear to be from titles alone, and then we still have 2 whole episodes after to solve the actual whole problem of hnl 🙏
