In case you wanted to feel insane today, I found the Henry-Alexei connection I was looking for in this post:

Of course, it's all a lie and they can't keep the story straight:

And in a scene involving Joyce and Hopper, the last two explicitly confirmed people to have known Henry...but especially when you consider that this scene directly follows this scene:

Oh, the patterns...the PATTERNS.

Does Flaying Combine People With Their Alternate Timeline Selves?

So, today I was thinking about how Will’s S1 missing poster said that he had brown eyes:

Versus S2 Will not having brown eyes-

-until he gets flayed/the flaying progresses:

And then I was also thinking about how flayed TFS Henry has all of these Edward references surrounding him, but still doesnt seem to entirely be Edward, and how he also speaks about “us,” and says “he’s right here,” when Alice asks where Henry is:

Point is, he speaks as if he’s two people in the same body.

Which makes me wonder: does being flayed result in a person being merged with their timeline counterpart?

Ive theorized before about the idea that the hivemind transcends timeline/dimensions (ie a person flayed in 1959 might be simultaneously mentally connected to a person that got flayed in 1983, two flayed people in separate timelines might be simultaneously mentally connected etc etc), but now I wonder if that goes beyond just a connection, and instead, ends up merging a person with their alternate timeline self, maybe if both selves are flayed.

Like what I mean is that because two flayed versions of a person from alternate timelines (ie Henry and Edward) are connected to the hivemind, theyre therefore connected to eachother, right? But what happens if you connect the “same” person to themselves? Like if we think of the hivemind as being sort of like a computer, then what typically happens when two identical files are put in the same folder? One of then gets overwritten.

So, I wonder if that’s what’s happening here- if one version of a person is overwriting the other (but not as smoothly/quickly as it happens with computer files), and if that’s why Will’s eye colour changed as his flaying progressed- he may have been “overwritten” by the alternate timeline brown-eyed Will, just as TFS Henry may have been “overwritten” by Edward or vice versa.

This would also explain why Flayed Billy’s eye colour doesn’t change to brown- because the alt timeline Billy still has blue eyes.

This could also explain the emphasis on “weakness” in TFS and why Henry gets so upset when Brenner calls him weak- because the “weaker” version of a person might be the one that gets overwritten.

Anyway! Lots to think about.

i mean…they did actually get the mindflayer out of Will in st2, right. his weird aggressive moments and neck tingles aren’t due to lingering mindflayer influence. right. like…did we ever confirm that burning it out was enough, that it removed all of it?

[reikunrei]

absolutely loving the confirmation that st5 is gonna be the beautiful disgusting horrorshow it was always going to be <3

when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.
