Hey so. . .

Why does the track Lay-Z-Boy play twice in season 1?

It plays here when Mike is showing El the living room.

But the track Lay-Z-Boy also plays here? After the funeral, when Joyce remembers a memory. She's joking with Will, in this scene:

And it's almost as if this kid has never had more than a 12 pack box of crayons to color with. . . because the main colors he uses here are blue, yellow, red, green, brown, gray, and black (from what I could see in the scene)…?

But that’s just coincidence, right?

Just like this kid doesn’t know that fireworks. . . aren’t. . . suckers? Will is about 14 at this point, right? Now, why would he be asking if a firework. . . is sweet? He actually means it literally here.

If you look for it, there are scenes where Will is just as - if not equally - as clueless about things (you’d think he would have experienced living with Joyce) as El is . . .

Like this clip where Jonathan reminds a possessed Will about building Castle Byers. . .

(and as a comparison, we already know that Lonnie is good at hitting a nail on the head. . . because he fixes the hole in the house in S1. . .)

So, why would Lonnie - the man dead set on teaching his boy(s) how to take on toxic masculine roles (to the point that he makes Jonathan kill a harmless rabbit at the age of ten), not teach Will how to hammer a nail in to keep a board in place?

It's all a little suspicious if you ask me...

As I’ve told @chirpsythismorning I am so not normal about Twelvegate.

Issue is… it’s looking more and more like we’ve stumbled across a plotline and less like a theory 🫠😭💀

Stranger Things brain rot is real.

Too real.

[shippingfangirl013]

Twelvegate master post coming soon - and in multiple sections, because for some reason this dang theory has gnawed on my brain for long enough and I need to get what I’ve found with @chirpsythismorning out in a couple of posts.

I’m gonna start with S4 and work down to S1. Because S4 has the most twelve & twin symbolism.

Basically, there’s a lot to deep dive into. And it’s all in the details(literally. It seems like there’s so many hints in the background.)

And getting yet another separate post are the inconsistencies, because I know there’s a few holes in this theory too.

[shippingfangirl013]

I was just cleaning my room because I finally had the energy to get it done…

But I’m gonna need an epic/dark version of In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins for one of the Stranger Things S5 trailers? Like, that song but done the way they did Separate Ways?!?

Wishful thinking, but I think it would be kind of fitting.

[shippingfangirl013]

The Demogorgon got Will, the Mind Flayer got Will…

Pfft… what’s next? Vecna’s gonna get Will too?

In response to your ask game-

Harlequin (I am thinking of your twelvegate posts /pos)

I don’t know whether to take this as a compliment or be concerned (for my own well-being of course) because I have analyzed Stranger Things for an ungodly amount of time haha.

I just ended up hyper-fixating on the show, so that’s the current situation.

Twelvegate wise... um... There's a lot to unpack and I am definitely excited to see if we get anything in S5 to do with that theory. I told my siblings and a few friends about it a few weeks back, and my best friend looked at me and was all for it even though she's never seen the show.

Thank you for the ask friend!! I honestly get so excited to reply to asks <3

You know… even when you’re at your lowest, your dog is still going to be there to love you. (And so will your cat, or your horse… or your bird/reptile/rodent, whatever companion animal you may have)

They just know how to be there when you’re falling apart.

I’ve been having a really hard time lately, because this time of year is kind of consumed by grief for me. I’ve lost more people and animals between the months of January-April than I think should be possible, and Gavin, my best friend of 15 years, will have been gone for a year this month. It’s honestly at a point where I’ve been borderline suicidal, (to be clear I do not plan to leave this world nor have I attempted it in or plan to attempt it) but the thoughts just refuse to go away, and it’s been this way since I was 14… and I just get so tired of my own head making so much trouble, when it seems like other people don’t have this as a problem. . .

I ended up sobbing on the couch in my living room earlier today, because everything in my life feels like it’s falling apart. I graduated college and learned that I don’t even know myself, I’m 8 hours away from one of my best friends after 4 years of living together and 4 hours away from my other best friend that I lived with for 2 years…

I’m 22 and I feel like I have no time to get my shit together. It feels like I have a ticking timer for a bomb just rapidly tapping out the time I have left, as if once it goes off I’ll end up dead from the gallows.

I didn’t get into vet school and it’s been my dream since I was six years old, and to be honest, some days (okay; most days ) as of lately, I’ve just felt like giving up on that dream. It feels like nothing will ever get better and the ‘end goal’ for staying alive just always seems to merely get bumped up another few years. First it was 17, then it was 22, and now it’s 26.

It’s like walking around with this soul sucking pit right behind you, day after day, even though you do your best to ignore it.

(And god, I know that there are people far worse off than me, and I know that if I were in a position to, I would try and do my damndest to help them out. Because I’ve been there too… but I suppose this is my way of helping, just writing down what I’m dealing with because it might help someone else that needs to hear this.)

But I just wanted you all to know that in the middle of sobbing for thirty minutes, my dogs climbed up on the couch and started licking me, trying to get me to play with them. And when Bandit realized that I didn’t want to move, he shoved my phone out of my hand with his nose, and he laid down on my lap and chest to get me to try and ground myself… and he took a nap while I cried petting him.

And I just thought to myself, you know, I would really miss this… and I started bawling again, because that might have been one of the first genuinely positive thoughts I’ve had in over six months.

I really don’t know what humans did to deserve dogs and cats, but I’m really glad that companion animals exist because things may not be perfect, but at least my dogs and cats and horses (and chickens) still love me enough to have me around.

Honestly, I seriously, normally will not post this sort of thing, but just in case anyone else is struggling, you’re not alone 💛 (and I know if you’re struggling and reading this, you might be sick of hearing that… but coming from someone else who is absolutely going through it… We’re gonna be okay. Even if it sucks right now, even if you don’t want to be here, eventually we’ll be better… baby steps 💕)

And sometimes one positive thing can make it suck less… it won’t fix it, and everything may still be shitty, but it might suck less and your pet still loves you no matter what.

I have a $10 bet over a bottle of blueberry moscato wine for a Stranger Things S5 watch party in my backyard, that some part of my BTTF/S5 conglomerate theory is at least partially true, and my best friend John has already given up on winning the bet.

(It’s okay. I’m gonna buy him a pack of beer, but I have an outdoor movie theater when I feel like putting the screen and projector up… so if S5 is out in Summer of 2024 [pls god don’t be that long] I will be sipping on my favorite wine, looking very smug. And if I don’t want wine by that point, then I’ll probably settle for strawberry lemonade or something idk.)

Hi.

I hope everyone else is having a good time on this massive water filled planet.

I am not having a good time.

Just wanted y’all to know that.

Apparently there were chemicals dumped into a basin in the Midwest and that literally feeds most of the water supply that goes to both Lake Michigan (where I am) and the Mississippi downward like 2 weeks ago. 👀

I didn’t get into vet school.

And now I’m just vibing. Maybe applying for my masters? Idk. Likely going to have a cry and figure out what the hell life is supposed to be.

It’s cool.

I hope y’all are doing better than me :) 💛

Please take care of yourselves.

(P.S. If y’all have any advice, vet school related or otherwise lmk please?)

[shippingfangirl013]

originally STEEL bc of your wips.

I stayed also bc of LEMON, CHARCOAL and SAPPHIRE

I’m actually going to cry, this makes me so happy because I’ve been struggling with my WIPs lately. @downbytheriversside has been beta reading for me (thank you love!💛) and um I’m sure that a lot may change with a few of the chapters for the current WIP but if you like Gilmore Girls and Succession, that’s kind of the vibe I’ve got going for this recent vent fic haha.

As for the tags… thank you, I try. I’m here all night (and well into the next morning because it seems like no one on this social media platform ever sleeps. We’re all just… owls or zombies. I can’t tell the difference but I think I’m more of an Owl person.) I think my favorite set of funny tags have to be the ones on that shitpost about Henry Creel and Mr.Clarke… with Henry putting up with Mr.Clarke’s fascination with the Upside Down and Mr.Clarke puts up with Henry’s special interest with spiders.

I am quite curious as to which takes you have enjoyed. And I’m like 80% sure I’ll post some twelvegate theory later tonight, but I’m also planning to binge watch Succession before season 4 comes out because I’m intrigued.

Is there a reason why you want to put me under a microscope? I’m genuinely curious because personally, I don’t think that I am the most interesting person to be studied under a microscope, but that’s up for interpretation.

In any case, I also want to put myself under a microscope and study me. It’s actually really fun taking DNA and skin scrapes and messing around with microbiology and I love looking at bacteria that naturally grows on the human body! (Before all else, I am a nerd. If we categorize it, I am a Biology nerd first and foremost…)

Thank you for the ask friend! I hope you’re doing well! <3

Meet my barn cat, Shadow! I went to feed this morning and that is how I found the tiny queen lounging on her throne.

[shippingfangirl013]

I know we’ve analyzed this scene over and over again, and someone else has probably pointed this out, but I thought this was interesting.

Will has blue behind him.

Mike has blue and yellow (and green) behind him. And yellow in front of him.

I know we’ve figured out the blue & yellow = Mike & Will and Byler = green.

(I’m also looking right at Mike’s “I asked for vomit green and I got vomit green.” And green = blue + yellow together [byler])

But, I thought it was interesting that the blue light is next to Will, because the boy he loves is right in front of him. Will is wearing blue. He’s talking to Mike, and the blue is there because he’s thinking of Mike and he’s upset over being a third wheel. (Who wouldn’t be?)

Then, we have Mike.

He’s wearing a bluish purple shirt and yellow over it. Just like the flowers, yellow is overwhelming the purple… I wonder why?

The lights behind Mike’s head and in front of his head kind of clue us in on what the characters are thinking about. Mike is thinking about Will as indicated by the single yellow light between them, (because that’s the thing… somehow, Will has always been between Mike and his failing normal relationship with El), and Mike is also thinking about his relationship with Will differently. The lighting is telling us directly what Mike is thinking of… and that’s why he’s so thrown by the “And us?”. Because Will just wants to know where he stands, he thinks that he can live with it if he just rips the bandaid off and moves on from Mike. But Mike took the “And us?” As something more, as if he’s thought of his friendship with Will as something more…

And I think it’s funny & interesting that after this fight, Mike’s wardrobe shifts. And Will’s does too.

This is the aftermath of the roller rink incident. The colors are definitely muted here, they were loud at the roller rink, but here? The colors aren’t as full force, there’s some yellow in Mike’s flannel and there’s some blue and green on Will’s polo. I think the colors are muted here because of the fight, but it’s still showing that they’re thinking of that fight through the clothing itself.

But once Mike and Will have that heart to heart… the loud colors are back again. The clothing isn’t muted anymore, and these are the outfits that they wear for the rest of the season.

I know that the teal shirt was custom made and designed to look different in certain lighting, but what I started thinking about, was the blend of colors and lighting from before.

Blue and green make dark teal, but yellow lightens it up… meaning that Mike is thinking of being with Will in a relationship (blue and green make dark teal) but you need equal parts of blue and green, and equal parts of yellow and green, to make the teal on Mike’s shirt. (Meaning that I think Mike has come to terms with his love for Will and his feelings shifting from friendship to something more by the end of S4. They still have a lot to talk about and discuss… but there’s also a span of 2 days that we didn’t get to see as an audience.)

But Will hasn’t let himself think of being with Mike as an honest option, after the painting. He ripped off the bandaid, he’s trying to allow himself to move on and give up hope that Mike will ever love him in the same way. . . Which is why I think, his shirt is mostly yellow with blue patterned in lightly. And maybe, if they plan to continue with the color theory, we’ll see some changes again in season 5.

But… I keep thinking that Mike’s monologue was a veiled response to Will’s veiled confession in the van… and it would make sense, because they’ve been using El as a cover for every argument (and almost every conversation) in S4. Mike even uses his fight with El to talk to Will about their fight from S3.

I’m just saying, I think early S5 established or almost established Byler is something we could be looking at.
