On a lighter note, I’ve now finished three chapters of former heroes who quit too late (the upcoming third and final part of the AU where (almost) all the main kids from Stranger Things have powers), solved (I think) a conflict between my outline and my timeline that I hadn’t realised was there until I got there in the writing, and finished outlining up to the end of chapter nine. It’s looking like it’s going to be more than eleven chapters in total, and I’m hazarding a guess it’ll be fifteen or more before I’m finished.
In celebration of another chapter finished, and also because I’m stealing @daddygrandpaandthebeaver‘s very wise idea for Sneak Peek Sundays, here is a tiny little sample from that fic!
...
They make it to the movie with barely seconds to spare, slipping through the mall’s service hallways and into the theatre once the coast is clear. Mike’s ears are still burning from the way too knowing – and way too judgmental, considering his love life – look Steve gave the three of them before he let them through Scoops Ahoy’s service entrance and into the hidden maze of hallways running all through the mall. And Dustin did not have to make such a big hairy deal about how he wasn’t going with them, when El asked. All that winking and grinning? Unnecessary.
Part of Mike’s wishing he hadn’t chickened out at the last minute and invited Will as well as El just so he wouldn’t have to admit that this was supposed to be a date. But mostly, he’s just desperately grateful Will’s here to be a buffer. Being alone, in the dark, with a girl he likes – that’s way scarier than any zombie movie could ever be.
There’s also the tiny little fact that Mike needed to invite Will over, too, for cover. And it would’ve been pretty shitty to just leave him at Mike’s house alone while Mike and El snuck out to the movie. Not to mention, then Mike’s mom would’ve asked questions, and the whole thing would’ve fallen apart.
Because El’s so not supposed to be here.
Hopper and Mrs. Byers have been giving her more leeway, since last fall, since all that shit went down and she came back with a sister who definitely can’t – and definitely won’t – be locked up in a little cabin somewhere deep in the woods her whole life. Mike’s still not totally clear on what Sara’s whole deal is, but apparently, if she doesn’t spend time around crowds pretty regularly, she’ll die. Or somebody will, anyway. Mike’s pretty sure El already tried that argument on Hopper, with no results, but whatever.
Anyway. El had managed to successfully argue that, if Sara gets to go pretty much where she wants when she wants, it should be safe enough for El to have some more freedom too. She gets to visit the guys and Max at their houses, now, if she wants, and Hopper and Mrs. Byers have even let her stay the night a couple times when Mike’s got the whole Party staying over. And El can go out to the woods or the lake with them, so long as she’s ‘careful’.
But they’re supposed to avoid anywhere where government goons could easily blend in, anywhere where somebody’s likely to recognise El. Crowds, and big events, and public places.
The special preview of Day of the Dead at the theatre in the new mall, Mike’s pretty sure, counts as all three.
But the awed look El’s turning on the enormous screen as they settle into three empty seats, her huge eyes reflecting back the glow of the FEATURE PRESENTATION screen, is totally worth whatever trouble Mike might get into for this.
“Have you ever been to a movie theatre before?” he whispers, leaning over so he can talk more directly into El’s ear. He still gets shushed by some annoyed old lady in the row behind them, though.
El doesn’t say anything, just shakes her head. She doesn’t look away from the screen, enraptured.
For a second, Mike feels a twinge of uncertainty. Maybe he should’ve picked out something tamer for her first movie on the big screen. What if the larger-than-life zombies freak her out, and she accidentally uses her powers, and the whole theatre sees, and then they get caught and taken away by the government? Or, they don’t get caught and taken away, but it’s a near miss, and then El hates him so much for putting her in danger that she never forgives him and Hopper never lets Mike speak to her again and everything is ruined –
Mike forces himself to take a deep breath, in through his nose and out through his mouth. It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s going to be fine. El knows the difference between movies and real life. Obviously. And if she gets too scared – Mike’s here to calm her down. Reassure her. With, like Lucas had said when they’d come up with this plan in the first place, a warm, strong arm to put around her to protect her. And then, one thing leads to another, and –
Mike glances down at his right arm, lying on the armrest, only inches from where El’s leaning forward with both hands clasped between her knees, still gazing in awe at the screen. He’s never really thought about how scrawny his arms are, before.
He turns to his left, to ask Will to share out the snacks they snuck in. But Will’s staring at the screen, too. For a second, Mike thinks he’s just already really interested in the movie. But there’s nothing about the featureless white room and the girl sitting in the middle of it that would explain why the frozen stare on Will’s face is slowly shading into fear. Nothing that would explain the arctic chill of dread that’s spreading out from him, like a ripple in the pool of excitement and nervousness all around them.
Whatever’s going on with him, it looks – familiar. Too familiar. And now some of that dread is Mike’s, too.
“Will?” Mike says, reaching out to put a hand over Will’s wrist.
There’s a snap, and a flash of light. Mike yanks his stinging hand back with a yelp. Will yelps, too, pulling away from Mike with wild eyes, like – like for a second, he doesn’t recognise Mike.
And the lights go out.

What do you think Hopper’s funeral was like? I’m kinda curious about whether or not that’s going to be addressed.
I am SO sorry for getting to this like 80 years after you sent it, lmao.  This was such a good question and the more i thought about it the more I got these clear images in my head of that day, and the more I wanted to just write it. I have 0 expectations that it will be addressed, honestly, SO here is Jim Hopper’s funeral service, told through the eyes of 4 non-Party members.
It was the last funeral, and by far the largest.  Karen Wheeler found herself thinking it was also the most beautiful.  She shifted her weight in her tall black heels and glanced around at the throng of solemn people in black.  The casket stood at the epicenter, a large block of shiny wood that shone brightly in the afternoon sun.  In a way, the symbolism of it felt silly.  There wasn’t a body.  There hadn’t been any bodies.
Attempting to banish the morbid thought from her mind, she glanced sideways at Ted who was staring solemnly at Pastor Charles.  Was he reading from the Book of Revelation again? She found it next to impossible to concentrate on any of the readings, anymore.  Ted had willingly attended every funeral with her, without complaint.  A fresh wave of guilt struck, and she swallowed.  Holley peeked over from her Dad’s arms, her large blue eyes carrying a new weight to them.  She was a kid now, not a baby anymore.  Karen reached over and gently caressed Holley’s cheek and that familiar, deep and abounding love for her children coursed through her like a powerful current. Karen wondered how someone could ever survive the loss of a child.
Karen turned to Mike, who stood stoically on her right, his hands at his sides like a soldier standing at attention.  He was staring over Pastor Charles, his attention on the trees in the distance, his eyes unfocused.  His mouth was set in a tight, straight line.  He hadn’t said a word all morning.  Hadn’t said a word since dinner last night.  The dinner table had been deadly silent, the new norm.
“I don’t want to go to the funeral tomorrow,” Mike spoke up, his voice eerily flat and quiet.  Karen looked up from her plate and squinted at Mike, confused.  “It’s the last one, Mike.  And it’s for the Chief.”
He clenched his fork in his fist and looked up at her, a strangely hollow look in his eyes that made her stomach start cramping up in knots.  “I’m not going.”  Karen looked over at Ted for help.  His attention was conveniently focused on Holley.  Karen put her silverware down, gently.  “I know this is upsetting for you, Mike, and….”
“No. No! You don’t know!”
“Mike...” Nancy reached over to put her hand over his and he wrenched it back standing up in his chair abruptly.  “It’s not like I actually wanted him to DIE!” He shouted, kicking at his chair. It went flying backwards, striking the wall.
Karen and Nancy both stood up.  Nancy stopped her.  “I’ll go.” She gave her mom a reassuring look, and wiped her mouth with her napkin, tucking her chair into the table neatly.
Nancy was standing at Jonathan’s side, leaning on his shoulder, her hand wrapped around his arm. Nancy kept sneaking glances at Jonathan, whose hands were in his pants.  Jonathan wouldn’t meet her eye, his attention fixated on Joyce who was staring ahead, stone-faced, at Pastor Charles.  Her face was still strangely devoid of emotion.  Will flanked her on the left, a head taller than her now. Clearly uncomfortable, he kept shifting his weight and looking over at Joyce, too.  
3 days after the fire, Will answered the door, his polite smile more a grimace. He stepped aside to let her in. Joyce was sitting at the kitchen table, a large ashtray full of cigarette butts in front of her.  She’d looked up at Karen, large, dark circles under her dry eyes.  “Thank you for stopping by.”  Karen nodded, watching the trail of smoke from Joyce’s lit cigarette float up towards the ceiling. Joyce redirected her attention to the ashtray, barely blinking. Karen looked nervously over at Will who gestured silently towards the front door.  Unnerved, she stopped in the doorway, turning back.  “If she is upset and needs someone to talk to….”
“She hasn’t said much since the fire,” Will interrupted.  “Thank you for stopping by, Mrs. Wheeler.”
Nancy caught Karen’s eye and gave her a small, sad smile.
Karen had thought, naively, after the fire, that they might, finally, trust her.  Trust her with this weight they carried with them, this weight that had been hanging around since that girl had made an appearance in Hawkins. She couldn’t shake the feeling that they knew, they ALL knew something she didn’t.  Even Joyce.
She glanced down again at Mike.  His lower lip was quivering.  Karen reached over and slipped her right hand into his.  He gripped it back, tightly.
***
Scott Clarke thought Karen Wheeler was still the most beautiful woman in Hawkins.  He watched her place her hand in Mike’s, her black dress effortlessly drawing attention to her slim figure.  She had been his first crush, he remembered.  She dated Scott’s older brother, Rob, when Karen and Rob were seniors in high school.  He had been in….6th grade? 7th?  It felt like an eternity.  A bead of sweat dripped down his neck in the heat.  He tugged uncomfortably at the collar of his button down.
There were beautiful white lilies lying delicately on the casket and perched in small bunches surrounding the funeral attendees.  They were freshly picked.  Were they the Chief’s favorite flower? It didn’t seem like they would be.  He thought the Chief was probably the type to prefer wildflowers.  He thought he would prefer wildflowers at his funeral, too.
He would remember the morning after the fire for the rest of his life.  He woke up like any other summer day, fried 2 eggs, toasted two slices of bread, and sat down at the kitchen table with a fresh cup of coffee in his Friday mug.  His weekly copy of Science Magazine opened in front of him, he flipped on the news, prepared to ignore another day of local Indianapolis crime.  Within moments, his coffee and breakfast were forgotten.  Frantically thumbing through the prior year’s class roster, he stationed himself in front of the phone for the next 5 hours.  It was around three in the afternoon when he finally got off the phone with the Police Department and marked the last student on his list safe.  Moments later a sobbing Ms. Landon called.  Frank Rose in last year’s 5th period math class disappeared from the 4th of July Festival and was presumed dead in the fire. Scott had gone over and spent the evening with her.
Suddenly growing aware of the silence, Scott blinked, focusing back in on Pastor Charles.  He stepped aside to allow Flo from the Police Station to begin her eulogy.  Scott glanced around him at people growing increasingly uncomfortable in the heat.
Maxine Mayfield was conspicuously absent.  Scott hadn’t seen her since her brother’s funeral.
Lucas Sinclair stood adjacent to Scott, his parents behind him.  He fiddled with the buttons on his coat and his mother swatted at his hands, leaning in and whispering in his ear.  He stood up straighter and turned to his left.  Dustin and Claudia Henderson were standing beside the Sinclair’s, Claudia Henderson periodically blowing her nose loudly into her handkerchief. The boys exchanged a look and turned their attention another ten feet away to a handsome, familiar-looking older boy with longer hair.  The older boy met their gaze and shook his head slowly.  A warning.
It had been the boys that first made him suspect something else was going on.  
A few days after the fire, Scott reached up and knocked on the door.  Erica Sinclair opened it a moment later, staring up at him.  She put her hand on her hip.  “WHO are YOU?”
“Mr. Clarke.  I’m here to see Dustin and Lucas.”  Moments later he heard loud thudding on the steps and the boys appeared in the doorway, shoving a protesting Erica back into the house behind them, shutting the door loudly and standing up against it, staring awkwardly at him.
“I came to check on you, boys.  Dustin, when I stopped by your house your mom said you both had been at the Mall the night of the fire.”  The boys exchanged a worried glance and turned back to Scott.  Lucas grimaced.  “Yeah, we….we were there. It was….it was a really, really big fire.” “Huge,” Dustin interrupted.  “We were…we got caught in it.  But we got out.”  Lucas nodded along enthusiastically.  Scott swiveled between the two of them, skeptically.
“Anywayyyy, we better get back inside.  Almost time for dinner.  Thanks for stopping by, Mr. Clarke!”  Lucas called out as he scrambled for the doorknob.  “Yeah, thanks!”  Dustin scuttled inside after him, shutting the door abruptly.  
Scott looked down at his watch. 2:55pm.
The boys had stopped fidgeting and were focused on Flo now, their faces solemn. Scott looked back over at the older boy, who was staring up at the sky, as if he were trying not to cry.  Steve Harrington!  That was his name. He’d nearly flunked the boy in 7th grade. He had to be 17? 18 now? How did he know Dustin and Lucas?  Frowning, Scott turned back to Flo, who was struggling to finish her statement.  Joyce was standing just beyond the casket, as resolute as ever, the crowd of mourners centered around her and her sons.
Strangely, Scott found himself wondering if Joyce ever figured out what was wrong with her magnets.
***
If only the Chief were here now, Calvin Powell thought to himself, to see the entire town of Hawkins show up for his funeral.  He could just picture him blustering about the office with a lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth.  “Just bullshit obligation,” he’d mumble.  And if he knew Flo would be the one giving an impassioned eulogy on his behalf, he would be mortified.  Powell stared over the casket as Flo’s lilt carried across the field.  Well, the Chief could suck it. Because he’d gone and gotten himself killed, and now here they all were.  Without him.
Scott Clarke was standing straight ahead of him, watching over Dustin Henderson and Lucas Sinclair.  There were some hardened people in this town, but that man certainly wasn’t one of them. He’d been on and off the phone with Scott Clarke the day after the fire.  That’s when he’d still been acting as de-facto Chief. Not anymore, of course. The Feds had seen to that.
Powell re-directed his attention to Flo as she walked towards him, wiping at her eyes as she folded her notes up and tucked them inside her dress.  He gave her a small, reassuring smile and squeezed her shoulder as she stood beside him. Callahan was nearby with his young wife.   When the Chief took over, everyone figured he would make Callahan Deputy. He ruffled a few feathers by naming Powell.  He still remembered the Chief’s first week on the job.
“I already TOLD you,” Roger Walsh sneered.  “I’m here to talk to the Chief.  “Well I’m Deputy,” Powell cut in.  “So I’m here to….”  Walsh interrupted by sniffing and crossing his arms, his lip curling in disgust. “Deputy.” He clicked his tongue, staring Powell down.
Hopper waltzed into the station, his eyes red-rimmed, and headed over to the counter for coffee, ignoring the two of them.  “Chief Hopper,” Walsh interrupted him, uncrossing his arms. “I need to speak with you about….”  
“Talk to my Deputy,” Hopper interrupted, tipping his head back and swallowing a swig of coffee.  He turned towards the men, grimacing.  “I don’t have time for whatever *this* is today.”  Hopper headed past the men towards his office. “This is bullshit,” Roger cut in.  “You are the Chief, I don’t want to talk to this nigg…..”
Hopper stopped and swiveled, aggressively grabbing the man by the scruff of his shirt, pulling him forwards.  He smacked his lips.  “What?” He tilted his head, looking down at the man, his face stormy.  “Go ahead.” His voice was dangerously low. “What were you going to say.”  Roger gawked at the Chief, terror in his eyes.  Hopper let go and pushed the man backwards. “Get the fuck out of my station,” he growled.  “Powell, I don’t want to see him again.”
Flo nudged him sympathetically.  He was crying.  Powell sniffed, angry with himself.  He promised himself he wouldn’t do this.  Not here, not now.  The Chief wouldn’t want him to. He swiveled away from her, hoping Callahan hadn’t seen him.   Jonathan Byers was standing next to Pastor Charles now.  He was wearing worn down black trousers, his right hand resting in his pocket, a piece of paper in his left.  He took a deep breath and began reading.
The Feds had showed up within days, sauntering about the office arrogantly.  Powell wasn’t sure how a picture of Hopper’s dead daughter contributed to a federal investigation but then again, what did he know? He was just a small-town cop.
Jonathan Byers had chosen today of all days to demand an audience with Powell. He stood in front of the desk as Powell scooted his chair to the side for a man with dark shades.  The man looked up at Jonathan pointedly and then continued out of the office with a stack of papers from the bottom drawer. Another agent strolled in and also stopped for a moment to stare at Jonathan, recognition all over his features, too.This second man grabbed another box of papers in the corner.  
Powell opened his mouth to question the boy when Jonathan blurted, “Flo said you were helping her with Hopper’s funeral arrangements.  I want to give a eulogy.”  Confused, Powell frowned, scooting his chair back to its proper place. “Son, that is very nice of you to offer, but….”
“He was there for my Mom and I, when Will disappeared,” Jonathan interrupted, passionately.  “When NO ONE else was,” his voice broke and he looked away. Taking a deep breath, he looked back over at Powell.  “We’re the only family he has, now.”  Powell didn’t have it in him to say no.
Things grew quiet and Powell re-directed his attention to the boy, who was struggling.  He stopped to put his head in his hands.  Nancy Wheeler approached slowly and took his other hand, standing with him.  Jonathan got himself together and continued.  Powell glanced over at Joyce, who was staring down, her eyes trained on the grass.
Powell felt the worst for Joyce Byers.  Ever since Lonnie skipped town she’d been on her own, and she always seemed one bad day away from a breakdown. But the Chief had a way with Joyce.  Powell suspected the Chief had been sweet on her, he even teased him about it once.  “I was with her when we found Will in the woods. I’m just doing my job,” the Chief had shrugged.
As Jonathan finished up his speech, he walked back to his mom, hand-in-hand with Nancy.  Jonathan reached for her hand when Joyce turned away suddenly, retreating towards the parking lot.  The entire town watched her as she went.  As if she were the Chief’s Widow.
Powell never bought that the Chief wasn’t sweet on her.  Just like he never bought that Will had been lost in the woods, or the fire at the Mall was just a fire. But then again, what did he know? He was just a small-town cop.
***
Jane always came to visit, at least every two weeks, without fail.  But it had been a long time.  Too long.  Slowly but surely, Terry Ives built up her strength to go and find her daughter.
Terry squeezed her eyes shut, her daughter’s features coming into crystal clear focus.  She reopened them, pushing herself up from the rocking chair.  A bed lay fifteen feet in front of her, a still figure laying on top of it.  
Jane.  Her feet splashing in the inch of water that filled The Void, Terry approached the bed, her heart pounding.  Jane’s eyes were closed, and she stirred for a moment on the sheets. Asleep.  
Standing there for a moment, Terry sized up the faded green comforter and white bedframe.  This wasn’t The Cabin.  Terry kneeled beside the bed, water soaking through the bottom of her nightgown.  Faded tears stained her daughter’s sleeping cheeks and a beige shirt was folded in her arms.  A small patch on the arm read “Hawkins Police.”
Terry leaned forward and rested her hand on her cheek.  “Jane,” she whispered gently.  Her eyes fluttered and opened.  Jane blinked for a moment, confused.  Jane sat up slowly and looked around, still gripping the uniform.  “Jane!” Terry exclaimed, louder this time. El continued to look around the room, the confusion turning into despair.  “Mama?”  She whispered, clutching the shirt tighter.
Something was terribly wrong.  She could barely feel Jane’s energy, it was weak.  Too weak.  Terry rested her hand on her daughter’s cheek again, but she didn’t move.  Jane squeezed her eyes shut tight.  “Mama,” she murmured, and a soft sob escaped from her lips.  She pulled the shirt to her chest.  “I can’t feel you, Mama.  I can’t feel him,” she began to cry, her despondency like painful tendrils reaching into Terry’s own heart.
Horrified, Terry glanced around her desperately.  Why couldn’t Jane see her?  Why couldn’t she feel her? Something fuzzy beside the bed grabbed Terry’s attention. Focusing in on it, a small nightstand materialized.  It was adorned with a lamp, a clock, and a picture frame.  The frame included 2 small boys and a petite brunette woman.
The woman. The woman who came to see her with the Cop. Why was Jane in her house?
Terry heard a noise behind her and turned around slowly.  A small green car came into focus.  Terry took a few small careful steps forward.  The woman was resting her head on her arm, leaning up against the car. She was taking shallow, shuddering breaths, her tiny frame quaking ever so subtly.  In pain.  
She was wearing all black, standing in tall grass.  Not with Jane.  As Terry approached, the woman picked her head up.  Her big brown eyes were filled with tears.  She put her hands up to her eyes, dabbing at them carefully with the backs of her hands.  The grief etched into the lines of her face matched Jane’s. Taking one final deep, sharp breath she squared her shoulders and started walking away.
Terry watched her figure pass by Jane’s bed, fading away into a cloud of smoke. Where was the Cop?  Terry felt the beginnings of exhaustion creeping into her mind and she pushed them away.  She had to find the Cop.  She fought for a mental image of him.  Her mind was going fuzzy, Jane’s bed fading in and out like a t.v. station competing for a signal.  Panic creeping in, she squeezed her eyes shut, pushing for the memory.  Her breath grew raggedy from the strain as she opened her eyes.
Another bed began to materialize, this one without a bed frame, this one far, far away. Yet somehow so close.  Blinking, Terry slowly stepped towards it, the image continuing to cut back and forth with her daughter’s.  As she grew closer to him, The Void seemed to expand around her.  The air grew colder and her heart began beating faster.  Thump, thump, thump.  He was lying on his side, curled up in a ball.  Shivering.  Not safe.  She was a few feet away when his voice grew slightly stronger, his image momentarily clear.
“You don’t tug on Superman’s cape….you don’t….spit.  Into the wind.  You don’t pull…the mask off that old lone ranger…..and you don’t….mess around…..
….with Jim.”  The hopelessness and fear were so powerful, Terry nearly froze.  Mustering her last bit of strength, she reached for him.  Her hand closed over his.  Terry gasped audibly. “El?”  He whispered into the darkness.
And with that, he was gone.  Jane was gone.  Terry felt the sensation of falling, sharply, backwards.  She grasped for something, anything, in front of her as she fell, her hands closing around thin air.  She landed in her rocking chair, now frozen in place.
“Terry?  Terry!”  Becky leaned over her sister.  “Why is the lamp blinking, honey? What is going on?”
“Breathe,” Terry whispered. “Sunflower.  Three to the right, four to the left. Rainbow.  Four fifty. Breathe. Sunflower. Three to the right, four to the left. Rainbow.  Four fifty.”
“Terry, what is it?” Becky whispered, urgently.
Breathe.

Joyce and Hopper are caught by each of their kids in various stages of hooking up. Bonus if one of the other kids catch them. Like Steve or robin.
author’s note: thanks, anon! super cute to write. hope this comes off as coherent as I think it does haha. hope you enjoy! :)
-it’s hard. to navigate so many kids who always seem to be in the house at the wrong time (or, well, the vast majority of the time)... it’s virtually impossible that they won’t eventually get caught. 
-they shouldn’t have to sneak about like they’re preteens again, barely able to kiss without their dad barging into the room and demanding they keep the door open three inches (not referencing anything in particular). 
-even still, the first time they’re caught, it feels shameful. it reminds Joyce of when she was fifteen, with her first boyfriend, and her mom came in the room to ask her something, and she caught them sitting just a little too close, and Joyce’s hair was just a little too disshevelled for her taste.
-this time, however, she isn’t a teenager. she’s a woman now, with teenagers of her own, and speaking of her own children, Will now looks like he wants to bleach his eyes and praise the Lord like never before.
-”okay, nevermind!” he says loudly, like he’s trying to alert the entire house. part of Joyce wants to tell him it’s not that bad, that he’s only caught them kissing, and not even the bad type of kissing, the type that acts as foreplay. they’d barely lain a hand on each other, but she knows this won’t make a difference to him.
-her boy is innocent, she knows. even still, she remembers the feeling of catching your parents in a... compromising position, and how wild the want to gouge your eyes out afterwards can be, especially for a growing boy.
-she apologises to him later, receiving a nonchalant in response, and that’s that. or, rather, she thinks so. she figures they’ll be more careful next time and, though the house’s doors don’t have locks, they’ll keep an ear and an eye out each, and it’ll all be fine.
-this, however, isn’t the case, as not even a week later, they’re caught again. this time, she has to admit, it looks a little more guilty, what with the pair of them being against a wall and her hair being tussled, but overall there’s no nudity or anything, which has to count for something, right? 
-this time, it’s Jon. he’s searching for something, and she only just about hears him ask her if she’s seen his camera lens anywhere before the door is open, and they’re stood staring at each other, both like deer caught in headlights.
-”sorry, sorry sorry sorry,” he continually apologises, immediately retracting into himself and exiting the room as soon as his feet agree to carry him. she’s never seen him move so fast, not even when there’s literally aliens about.
-she feels bad, of course. her two sons have now witnessed something they were never intended to, and she feels ill at the thought. obviously there’s no long-term grudge being held, because when she goes to speak to Jon about it later, he tells her it’s fine, and that they don’t need to talk about any of it.
-she swears there’s a ‘please’ implied at the end, but she doesn’t press the matter.
-and, because all good and bad things come in threes, it happens again. this time is the worst time, because it’s not just one person that sees them, but rather just about all of them.
-this time, she’ll be the first to admit, it’s significantly worse. not only because just about every single kid is accounted for, present in the room they shouldn’t be in, but also because this time they’re actually naked.
-they aren’t doing anything, mind. they’re just under the covers (thank God, because she’d have to move countries if they weren’t). they’d figured they had the afternoon to themselves, because Steve, Robin, Nancy and Jon had agreed to take the other kids out for the day, but this apparently was not the case.
-”hey, Miss Byers, do you mind if-” Robin’s voice appears out of seemingly nowhere, and then before she can say anything coherent the door is opening and in comes the girl herself. 
-it takes her a moment, but when she registers the sight before her, her eyes become as big as saucers. the oogles them, not quite sure whether to be excited or terrified, and eventually settles for a sharp laugh as a reaction.
-”holy shit,” she says, and this apparently summons Steve, who then comes bounding into the room.
-”hey, what’s going on in here?” he asks, like an impatient father. soon, though, when he too sees what’s happening, he repeats Robin’s words. “holy shit.”
-this leads to a domino effect, which eventually ends up with the kids entering the room and almost immediately exiting the room upon discovery of the unfolding events. they all say some variation of ‘ew’ or, in Jon and Will’s case, ‘not again’ before they turn on their heel and leave, yet Steve and Robin remain.
-”can you leave, please?” Joyce says, finally, sounding impatient though her tone of voice is mild.
-”absolutely not,” Robin says, as though she’s committing the sight to memory. this makes Hopper sigh, then breath in deeply as though he’s about to shout, and then-
-”get the hell out of here, you freaking clowns,” his insult is mild, even borderline humorous, but it’s enough to get Steve and Robin pushing past each other to leave. they eventually manage to squeeze out of the doorway, and only then does Joyce let herself fall into a fit of giggles.
-”clowns?” she asks Hopper rhetorically, “oh, wow, big police man, scary officer. seriously, clowns?”
-it’s then that Hopper looks at her, and joins her in her laughter, though his is more subdued. he looks at her with love in his eyes, and Joyce thinks she can feel it, too.
-he casts his eyes over to the door one more time, finding two heads belonging to Steve and Robin there, peeking just around the corner, and the look he gives them is like a crucifixion.
-”close. the. goddamn. door.” he orders to nobody in particular, and as the pair sheepishly leave, the door slams shut behind them. 
-there’s a silent moment, in which Joyce appreciates how Hopper looks in that moment, and overall how much she can’t imagine life without him, and then it’s over when the door creaks back open again.
-she’s readying herself to yell at Robin and Steve, but when no head peeks through the newly found gap, they’re left stunned. they share a look, signalling that they should maybe go check it out, considering the kids have gone unusually quiet, but then a meek voice erupts from the hallway.
-although the voice says minimal, barely forming a cohesive sentence, sounding instead rather like a record repeating the last track played on it, it’s clear that it’s Eleven who’s addressing them.
-”leave the door open three inches.”

Stranger Things 3 Plot Details
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
Several plot details about season 3 have been revealed thanks to an article released by Collider. This post will serve as a summary of the important details listed in the article (which has since been deleted.) Be warned: the details are fairly descriptive and give a lot of insight into the new season, so scroll past if that’s not for you.
Eleven will flip a car with her mind.
The main threats this season are threefold; the Russian military is involved with “some shady supernatural dealings,” the Mind Flayer still has a presence in Will, and Billy has evolved into the main human antagonist this season.
This season will feature flashbacks to Billy’s childhood.
According to Dacre Montgomery, “He’s like pure evil this season, but the supernatural element that’s incorporated makes it really interesting and makes it dark and at times horrible.”
There is an “insane 25-page scene” with Millie and a few of the other kids that Shawn Levy shot over 4 days. It was apparently very intense and felt like a closed set due to the small crew and contained location.
A lot of the season’s scenes take place at the Hawkins Community Pool.
The Starcourt Mall is a main hangout for the kids in the new season and is also a focal plot point due to small businesses being forced to shut down because of the mall’s opening. This causes tension with locals.
Back to the Future, The Stuff, Return to Oz, Cocoon, D.A.R.Y.L, and Fletch are all movies playing at the Starcourt Mall during the season. During an early episode of the season, an important plot point happens during a sneak peek of George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead.
Kaufman Shoes is one of the only stores in the mall that doesn’t actually exist; this set serves as a reference to Invasion of the Bodysnatchers and the store plays a pivotal role later in the season.
Most of the inspirations for this season were from dark and scarier movies, including Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
Mr. Mom and China Syndrome were also noted as key inspirations for the season.
The crew separates into some groups this season; Mike, Lucas, and Will branch off, as well as Eleven and Max, and Dustin, Steve, Robin, and Erica. Towards the end of the season, they all start to reconvene and get to know each other again.
Robin is Steve’s co-worker at Scoops Ahoy. “She plays music, and learns languages, and she’s really intelligent and creative and funny, but has always been excluded at school, and isn’t one of the cool kids,” Maya Hawke said.
Steve and Dustin are basically best friends in this season. According to Joe Keery, “The relationship is almost kind of sometimes an old married couple, which is kind of a fun thing to play with [Gaten].”
Nearly the entire cast has stated that Erica Sinclair will be this season’s new obsession. Finn Wolfhard said, “People are going to meme the crap out of her. Lots of GIFs of her.”
A big part of Dustin’s role in season 3 is him becoming a mentor to Erica, similarly to the way Steve did for him in season 2. “They learn that they actually have a lot in common, kind of like Dustin and Steve. Instead of Dustin being the Padawan, now Erica’s the Padawan and Dustin’s the master,” Gaten Matarazzo said.
Apparently, some real intense, showdown-y type stuff goes down at Hopper’s cabin and the characters deal with some dark forces there.
Nancy and Jonathan are both working at the Hawkins Post and Nancy deals with misogyny in the workplace, which mirrors events of today.
Season 3 delves more into 80s sci-fi element than horror.
The production team was working on “a massive thing” that is coming towards the end of the season. It’s described as the sci-fi element in this season and as “pretty incredible.”
Stranger Things 3 airs on Netflix on July 4th.

Broken Wings (Billy Hargrove x Hopper!Reader)
Tumblr media
The Broken Wings Series
Read Part 2 >
Summary: Being a Hopper means you always step up and never give up. (And never ever mention how corny that is as a motto.) You’ve held onto these words for the past 11 years and they’ve never led you astray. But when another dimension and a huge asshole come into play, it’s hard to live up to your Dad’s standards.
Pairing: Billy Hargrove x Hopper!Reader (Slow burn) 
Word Count: 1,737
Author's Note: So, before I wrote "Idiot" this just kind of came pouring out. It's a prologue more than anything else, but if you guys want to read more (knowing it will be probably a 10+ part series and I'm feeling a Billy Hargrove x Reader fic for this one) let me know because we can all use some Dad!Hopper, and frankly I'm feeling a little Billy x Redemption. Also, excuse the melodramatic title.
Warnings: Broken families. Child’s death. 
You never had the luxury of a normal life.
From the moment you were conceived, circumstances with your family had been...different. Your parents met at a party. It was your dad's last hoorah before he got shipped over to Vietnam. Your dad once mentioned--while very drunk--that your mom had considered it an act of patriotism, a service to her country to slip away with the attractive young enlisted man.
This red, white, and blue spirit wore off about a month later when your mother found, well, you.
Letters were exchanged. Decisions were made. And when your dad came back, the two of them reconnected. They got to know each other. He got to know you. And, a couple of years later they got married, papers were signed, and you were all officially Hoppers. It was a testament to how things, no matter how convoluted they may be, tended to work themselves out.
You were six when they announced you were going to be a big sister and seven when you learned what that really meant.
You remember standing in front of your dad's chair in the hospital waiting room as he took both of your hands and looked you in the eyes. "Do you know what it means to be a Hopper, Y/N?" he asked. You shook your head, and he gave you a soft smile, running his thumbs over the backs of your hands. "Being a Hopper means you always step up. Do you know what that means?"
"Kind of," you drew out the words.
"It means that when you notice someone needs help, you don't wait to be asked, you go help them. And you don't give them enough help. You go above and beyond. You do whatever you can to help. Until they're good."
"What if they don't want help?" you asked. Your father moved back in his seat a little and looked you up and down. And then, almost in slow motion, his lips curled up into a smile.
"Well, Y/N," he said, leaning even closer to you. "The other thing about Hoppers, is we don't give up. Even if we should." You smiled back at him as he shook your hands twice before releasing them. "I want you to know this because when the baby's born, you go on-duty," he poked your belly and you giggled. "As the big sister, you have to show the baby what it means to be a Hopper. Think you can do that?"
You nodded and he smiled, leaning forward to kiss your forehead. Shortly after, your new sister was born and you were officially on-duty.
You took to your new role as big sister like a fish to water. It was as if at seven you just knew that you were born to do this. You made your own breakfast–cereal, every day. You set and cleared the table for your parents. You put yourself to bed at night and let your parents know they could come and tuck you in. In the morning, you made your bed. When Sara cried, you tried distracting her with toys. As she got older, you played peek-a-boo with her and tried teaching her rhymes (despite the fact that your parents explained babies couldn't understand rhymes.) By the time she was four you were routinely sneaking out of your bed and into hers so you could read her extra bedtime stories.
And then, at eleven, came the second piece of news that changed your life.
While starting middle school should have been your biggest worry at the time, instead it became whose house were you going over after school. You had sleepover after sleepover, and when that became too wearing for your friends' families, it was babysitter after babysitter as your parents took Sara to her different hospital appointments. And then, instead of the three of them going to the hospital to visit the doctors, it became the three of you going to the hospital to visit Sara. And one day, instead of the hospital, it was the graveyard.
Life was different after Sara. Your father never pulled you aside and sat you down to explain what it meant now that you were off-duty. There was no explanation of how you could expect your life to change now that you were no longer a sister. You had a feeling that the rules no longer applied, but like a true Hopper, you refused to give them up.
Even though you probably should have.
While you wished your parents would usher you into life after Sara in the same way that they ushered you into life with Sara, you understood, even at twelve, why they couldn't.
Your father was falling apart. It was all he could do to ask you how your day at school was and share a small tidbit of his work happenings before he sat himself down in his chair with a bottle of beer or a glass of something dark and listened to his records for the rest of the night.
Your mother was never home. She disappeared for days at a time to be with her friends or relatives or somewhere else. You had suspected it was because she found it hard to look at you. You had the same blonde hair. The same blue eyes. It wasn't until you came home early–on time, really–from school one day that you heard why. 
You could still see her in the kitchen, sitting on the floor with her back against the wall. The phone was stretched down to her, and she was crying into it, mascara leaving dark rings around her eyes. "Jim's always on me about how I'm not spending enough time with Y/N, but I'm the one who's dragging him to bed drunk. And Y/N always needs me to sign a permission slip or is asking me what's for dinner," she sniffled, wiping at her eyes and smudging her makeup further. "It's like they're suffocating me. And this house…this house is like a mausoleum. It's just full of dead people. I can't be here anymore." She shook her head, dissolving into tears. You had crept past her and locked yourself away from your room and decided it was time to step up.
You started making yourself breakfast, lunch, and basic dinners. At first, you had thought that you'd need to make a show out of it so your mother knew she didn't have to make dinner anymore. It didn't take too long to learn that your mother wouldn't make dinner unless asked.
It wasn't long after you started cooking for yourself and forging your mother's signature that she officially moved out.
One day you came home, and she was gone, leaving behind only a letter to your father. You had, out of curiosity read it. It was angry, bitter, heartbreaking, and unfair. You had been given a single line of thought.
Tell Y/N I'm sorry.  
It had been a heartbreaking and surprising betrayal. For the first four years of your life it had been just you and your mother. Even though you hardly remembered that time, you'd assumed it would have meant something to her. But when Sara died, it was as if she took you with her.
After reading the letter, your father had taken down a half-drunk bottle of bourbon, gone into his room, closed the door, and put a Jim Croce album on. You had gone to his door and heard him crying over the sounds of "I Got a Name." You slid down the door the same way your mother slid down that kitchen wall and cried with him.
You were too sick to go to school the next day.
When the papers were signed, you were thirteen. It was a month after the divorce was finalized that your dad packed you up and moved you back to his hometown of Hawkins, Indiana. While at first you missed the big city feel and your friends from your old school, you met Jonathan Byers and the two of you became fast friends. Not the kind of friends where you went over each other's houses or hung out on the weekend or that you even talked about to your dad. No, you were the kind of friends who sat with each other at lunch so you didn't have to sit alone.
But then you left for high school, and Jonathan stayed behind, and you made new friends  and made the shift into a normal life. Well, a normal life with an alcoholic and absentee father, but in Hawkins, as much as you could tell, detached parents was the norm. The days of you and your parents and Sara going out for walks in the park was a brief dream that you were lucky to be a part of. Going to school, getting involved in clubs, coming home to take care of your father, and sneaking out later at night to meet up with the boy you were currently seeing—that was truly what it meant to be a normal teenager. And you were ok with that. You were happy to be normal, and it seemed like for once, life had sort of settled into a predictable pattern.
And then junior year.
When Will Byers went missing, everything changed. And that's not just because Hawkins practically went on shut down because everybody was freaking out over a missing kid.
It was because your dad stopped drinking.
And you reconnected with Jonathan after stepping up to help him find his brother.  
And, oh yeah, you also discovered that there was another dimension that monsters could crawl through to eat people.
Your world became a lot smaller that year. In a good way. It was almost as if all of the extraneous people who had been walking in and out of your life just disappeared and all that was left was who really mattered: Your dad. The Byers. Nancy Wheeler. El. The four goons. And, to some extent, Steve Harrington, who had saved your life.
You had never had the luxury of a normal life.
But you had the luxury of being a Hopper, and when your dad opened the door to your new home,  your great-grandfather's cabin in the woods, and you saw El sitting in the dark, alone on the dusty old couch, you knew that was something she could use too.
And you were on-duty.

Stranger Issues season 3: Find out how to watch, when, and plot rumors
http://tinyurl.com/y5apgp3l It is going to be one unusual summer time. On July 4, America’s Independence Day, Stranger Things returns to Netflix With one month until the present returns, Netflix dropped a neon-splashed, fireworks-filled poster for the present’s third season. Sure, Eleven is carrying a scrunchie, and yikes, these are loads of useless rats. And is {that a} new hideous monster rising up from the Upside Down?  In Could, the present teased a bit in regards to the sizzling occasions coming to the Hawkins, Indiana, Group Pool. Trace: The center-aged mothers love them some bad-boy Billy the lifeguard. To accompany the brand new video clip, Netflix additionally launched some new character posters. It is OK to snicker at Steve Harrington in his sailor-boy Scoops Ahoy ice-cream store uniform. Again in March, the present delivered a preview dripping with 1980s nostalgia. Now enjoying: Watch this: Netflix teases Stranger Issues season Three in new trailer 2:50 The trailer has its enjoyable retro moments — Dustin sprays Lucas within the face with Farrah Fawcett hair spray when the buddies sneak up on him — but it surely’s apparent that hazard nonetheless dwells in Hawkins. Hopper tries to reassure Joyce he needs her to really feel protected, however who can when there is a new horrific monster lurking, plus a man with a gun? And it is actually a disgrace that Mews, Dustin’s household cat, met such a tragic finish, as a result of it seems rats have invaded the town. (Learn: Stranger Things temporada 3 en español.) Netflix gave Stranger Issues followers a present on New 12 months’s Eve 2018, revealing at midnight that the third-season premiere date will probably be July 4. Get your fireworks prepared. The community launched a cute retro video mixing clips from Dick Clark’s New 12 months’s Rockin’ Eve, the precise 1984-turns-into-1985 version, with typical Stranger Issues doom and gloom. The video was reduce by means of with bizarre laptop glitches, and revealed a hidden message that learn, “When blue and yellow meet within the west.” Netflix additionally tweeted a picture of the solid celebrating July Four beneath fireworks-dotted skies. Why is Stranger Issues so unusually compelling? The present seemingly got here out of nowhere in July 2016, with a 1980s setting and wealthy popular culture particulars. Younger Will Byers disappears one night time after enjoying D&D along with his buddies in Hawkins, Indiana. The unfolding plot features a secret authorities laboratory, a younger lady known as Eleven, with psychokinetic powers, a creepy Upside Down dimension stuffed with monsters and goo, and Christmas lights that blink an unnerving message. It boosted the sales of Eggo waffles, Eleven’s favourite snack, and created a complete motion, Justice for Barb, after a beloved character disappeared from a pool and despatched followers off the deep finish. The third season is about to blow up, and co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer say a fourth and fifth season are seemingly.  And in an interview with CNET Journal , David Harbour (Hopper himself) additionally confirmed that tidbit in regards to the present: We will expect Stranger Things to stick around for an additional few years and push into 5 seasons. He additionally mentioned he is aware of “considerably loads of Hopper’s place in that story as a result of the extra you’ll be able to know in regards to the finish of your story, the extra you’ll be able to arrange,” and that followers should not worry unfastened ends (cough — Game of Thrones — cough) regardless of when the present lastly ends. “I really feel very pleased with that … we’re not going to get form of misplaced in our story and go away these strands,” he mentioned. “We’ll tie issues up.” However till then, this is a sneak peek at what unusual issues await. When? The place? What? Season Three is approaching July 4, 2019, and will probably be eight episodes lengthy, the identical as the primary season (however one fewer than season 2). It is set in the summertime of 1985, leaping forward one 12 months from season 2. For the earlier two seasons, Netflix posted all the brand new episodes without delay, making the present yet one more poster youngster for binge-watching. We anticipate the identical all-at-once episode dump once more, although we do not have affirmation. Manufacturing started on April 20, 2018. On April 27, Netflix released a teaser video of the solid settling all the way down to learn by means of what’s presumably the primary script of the brand new season. (Priah Ferguson orders the viewers to “Get out of right here, nerds!”) Sadly, there aren’t any spoilers, but it surely’s enjoyable to see the solid once more, even when solely the backs of their heads. On the Primetime Emmy Awards in September 2018, producer Shawn Levy told The Hollywood Reporter that filming would wrap in two months, making it November. He added, “cinematically, it is our greatest season but.” Star Natalia Dyer, who performs Nancy Wheeler, echoed Levy, saying that, “This 12 months it feels very … huge. I imply, [all the seasons] really feel huge, however this one feels possibly the largest thus far, so it has been good.” And apparently the tip of the collection, at any time when that comes, could also be a chilling one. Millie Bobby Brown told Digital Spy in Could 2019 that she is aware of how the entire present is meant to wrap up. “I do know precisely what occurs, Brown mentioned. “Very scared…” Find out how to watch Get your self a Netflix subscription. Stranger Issues is a jewel within the service’s crown of authentic collection, and it is one of the simplest ways to make sure you get all the brand new episodes plus entry to the primary two seasons. Undecided Netflix is price it to you? The service affords a free one-month trial, so in case you enroll near the brand new season’s premiere you’ll be able to absorb the brand new season and each earlier years, then cancel your membership with out price. However we’re anticipating two extra seasons of the present, so that you might need to enroll once more in a while (or discover a Netflix-subscribing good friend who’ll invite you over) Meet the solid Returning faces Who will we add to the core group in season 3? Courtesy Netflix New faces Maya Hawke: Hawke, the daughter of actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, will be a part of the solid as Robin, Variety reports. Robin is described as “an ‘various lady’ bored along with her mundane day job. She seeks pleasure in her life and will get greater than she bargained for when she uncovers a darkish secret.” Cary Elwes: Elwes, perpetually recognized to many as Westley in The Princess Bride, is coming to Hawkins, the place he’ll play the city’s mayor. “Good-looking, slick and sleazy, Mayor Kline is your basic ’80s politician — extra involved along with his personal picture than with the individuals of the small city he governs,” Netflix says.  Jake Busey: Busey, son of acclaimed actor Gary Busey, will play Bruce, described by Netflix as “a journalist for The Hawkins Submit with questionable morals and a sick humorousness.” What we all know in regards to the plot Bros perpetually: One of the vital endearing options of the present thus far got here when Dustin and Steve developed a likable little bro-big bro relationship. “You positively see extra of that,” actor Gaten Matarazzo, who performs Dustin, told Entertainment Weekly. “That is what I actually like about (showrunners) Matt and Ross (Duffer): They know what followers like they usually roll with it.” Millie and Eleven: Millie Bobby Brown recently revealed that she and her character are melding much more this season. “Eleven turns into way more like me… She positively turns into extra like me this season,” Brown mentioned in a press roundtable. “She’s very susceptible, very highly effective and robust. I can relate to her energy principally.” The actress additionally mentioned she had a hand in her character turning into extra trendy, even “(displaying) a little bit leg.” Freeze, police! In October 2018 a casting notice looked for extras with military and police experience to movie with the present in Atlanta. Each women and men, aged 18-50, of any ethnicity, are wanted. Hmm, what Stranger Issues plot might name for a big army or police presence? Might Chief Hopper be calling in a bigger pressure to assist management the supernatural facet of Hawkins? Strike up the band: In September 2018, casting notices had been posted seeking people with marching band experience to look in a Stranger Issues episode. As with the police/army casting discover above, there is not a ton of information to go along with this information: Will or not it’s a faculty band? A group group? Are they to look in a parade? And, in fact, we do not know if any of the primary solid members will probably be a part of the band, which would appear to imply it might play a bigger position in an episode, or if the band is simply background noise. Life’s a seashore: Celeb website Simply Jared published a photo of Millie Bobby Brown filming what seems to be a fairly dramatic scene on the seashore in Malibu, California. Stranger Issues, in fact, is about in landlocked Indiana, so possibly the Pacific Ocean is standing in for an Indiana lake or river. Or maybe Eleven is taking a West Coast journey within the new season. A few week later, extra snaps of the solid taken in Georgia had been revealed, this time, that includes most of Eleven’s buddies, however she wasn’t seen. It is unclear what scene the youngsters had been filming, and most of them had been wrapped in robes, both to maintain heat or to cover no matter they had been carrying.  Eleven’s backstory revealed: Viewers have already met Eleven’s mother, troubled Terry Ives, however a brand new young-adult novel printed in February 2019 will dig into her mom’s previous much more. Entertainment Weekly published an excerpt from Gwenda Bond’s e book, known as Suspicious Minds, and it follows Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine on the present) as he tries to assemble a bunch of younger take a look at topics, presumably together with Terry. 5-year-old Eight, who Eleven meets when she’s fairly a bit older, additionally seems. Courtesy Netflix Love is within the air: The romantic duos of Eleven/Mike and Max/Lucas are nonetheless collectively in Season 3, however for the way lengthy? “They’re like 13- or 14-year-old youngsters, so what does romance imply at that stage of life?” executive producer Shawn Levy said.  However in July 2018, Finn Wolfhard, who performs Mike, famous that the present will probably be set in the summertime of 1985, and known as it “the summer time of affection.” Wolfhard wasn’t round for the primary summer time of affection in 1967, and he wasn’t born till after the summer time of 1985. However his quote appears to trace that love and relationships will probably be part of season 3, for good or for in poor health. Not everybody’s romance will probably be all hearts and flowers, although. David Harbour, who performs police chief Jim Hopper, mentioned his character will “take extra dangers with these new languages of intimacy and vulnerability,” however is “going to flail and be horrible at it.”  Father determine as martyr: Additionally in summer time 2018, Harbour told the Tampa Bay Comic-Con audience that he is aware of how he’d like his character to bow out. “I wish to take a bullet for Eleven,” he mentioned. And when followers cheered the selfless response, he replied, “Now you are all comfortable about me dying!” No fears, although. I believe Hopper will stick round till the present’s eventual finish. We’ll have to attend and see whether or not he lives fortunately ever after (with Joyce?) or heroically exchanges his life for Eleven’s. New faces: Finn Wolfhard appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in August 2018 and hinted at some new additions. “We’re in the midst of (filming the season),” Wolfhard mentioned. “We acquired some new solid members, some unbelievable individuals.” However that was about all he would spill, and Fallon rapidly modified the topic to joke about how he ought to seem on the present as a “bizarre uncle or one thing.” New characters aren’t any shock, and in the event that they play main roles, as Max and Billy did in season 2, certainly particulars will leak out quickly. Extra D&D: The primary season began with the primary boys enjoying Dungeons & Dragons, which actually helped endear the present to all of us nerds on the market. Anticipate extra of the fantasy role-playing sport in Season 3.  As Comicbook.com identified, artist Jared Flaming shared on Instagram in April that he is instructing the present’s prop grasp in regards to the sport. Jackson Davis/Netflix Dad Steve is again: Older teen character Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), who turned out to be an enormous brother determine for Dustin in season 2, will sustain that position. “I am going to simply say we can’t be abandoning the Dad-Steve magic,” Levy told THR. Again in time: Ghostbusters was an essential theme in season 2, and Michael J. Fox’s 1985 film Back to the Future will probably be a key ingredient this season. Chasing Chase: Again to the Future is not the one 1980s film that can play a task. David Harbour informed Selection that Chevy Chase’s 1985 motion comedy Fletch will also inspire season 3. “Fletch is one film we get to mess around and have some enjoyable with this season, which you would not anticipate from Stranger Issues. and also you would not anticipate from the Spielberg universe and also you actually would not anticipate from a darker season,” he mentioned. Hopper’s historical past: Harbour also told Variety that he hopes the present investigates his character’s historical past as each a New York cop and a Vietnam vet. “I am curious as to how his excursions in Vietnam might need formed him to be who he’s and if a few of that stuff does not nonetheless linger or hang-out him in varied methods,” Harbour mentioned. Sing it, sister: Lucas’ vigorous youthful sister Erica (Priah Ferguson) can have an expanded position this season, and deservedly so. “There will certainly be extra Erica in season 3,” present co-creator Ross Duffer informed Yahoo Entertainment. “http://www.cnet.com/”We acquired to make use of extra Erica’ — that was one of many first issues we mentioned within the writers’ room.” Maintaining with the Byerses: Millie Bobby Brown, who performs Eleven, did her finest to begin a loopy rumor in regards to the new season. While being interviewed by E! in mid-Could, Brown requested co-star Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) if he’d like to see reality-show star Kim Kardashian on Stranger Issues. A confused Schnapp thought the casting was actuality, and Brown led him on by claiming Kardashian was set to play a personality named 10. Kardashian herself gave the impression to be onboard, tweeting an enthused response. (Fan opinion: NOOOOO PLEASE NOOOO!)  Word: This piece was first printed Could 3, 2018 and is continuously up to date as we get nearer to the Upside Down. Source link

'Stranger Things': What Season 2 told us to expect for Season 3
There's no way to not binge watch Stranger Things no matter how hard you try to make the nine episodes last as long as possible. Especially knowing that Season 3 won't be around until 2019, but all of us here at MTTG wound up breaking our Season 2 viewing into two days unlike Season 1 which had us spending all afternoon glued to our 4K television. The Duffer Brothers have said they wanted this season to wrap up more plot threads than in the first season, but it seems they left plenty more for us to comment on and then ask what will come of them in 2019. Season 2 didn't end with such a big cliffhanger as one did, but it did give us a nice warm happy feeling even (who couldn't get all fuzzy feeling at that dance?) with that little peek into what's coming back. HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT? After Season 1 premiered, it took Stranger Things creators Ross and Matt Duffer 15 months to write, film, and add all the creature-feature special effects to the second season of their hit Netflix series. With stars like Finn Wolfhard, David Harbour, and Millie Bobby Brown increasingly in demand on major upcoming film projects like It 2, Hellboy, and Godzilla: King of Monsters, the Duffer brothers might find it even more challenging to get their entire cast together to film Season 3. Either way, fans likely won’t get another installment in this particular adventure until 2019. No Game of Thrones or Stranger Things in 2018? What’s a genre-lover to do? When Season 3 does premiere, the Duffers have confirmed the show will feature yet another significant time jump in order to keep pace with its young, growing cast members. If Stranger Things does leap forward one year in time (say, to the end of Eleven’s confinement?), then expect to see a few more inches of hair on its leading lady’s head and, perhaps, the start of her first-ever school year with the rest of her friends. If all the kids—Eleven, Mike, Will, Lucas, Dustin, Max—are 14 in Season 3, that means we’ll likely see them all bravely entering the dangerous territory of ninth grade at Hawkins High. WHO WILL BE THE BIG BAD?
If the finale is any indication, the Big Bad of Season 3 seems like it will be the same as ever—the giant, shadowy creature that the kids call the Mind Flayer. As Ross Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter:
They’ve shut the door on the Mind Flayer, but not only is it still there in the Upside Down, but it also is very much aware of the kids, particularly Eleven. It had not encountered her and her powers until that final episode. Now, it knows that she’s out there. We wanted to end on a little bit of an ominous note. Well, no wonder the episode concluded with that classic 80s ode to stalking: 1983’s “Every Breath You Take” by The Police. We’ve seen the Mind Flayer looming over Hawkins before, but now it seems to have zeroed in precisely on Eleven—and will be closely watching every breath, step, claim, smile, vow, and move she makes. HOW WILL IT GET IN?
In previous seasons, Will has acted as an unwilling gateway of sorts to the Mind Flayer’s attempts to invade and destroy Hawkins, Indiana. Will he again act as the monster’s vessel? The Duffers have said the once-possessed Will has now been cleansed of any supernatural invaders, but actor Noah Schnapp is not convinced. “I personally think it’s not all out of him,” he told THR. “I feel like it can’t be. There’s this massive monster taking over all of Hawkins, and all you have to do is light a few fires and turn on a few heaters, and he’s gone? It just doesn’t make sense to me, really. He’s still there—I just don’t know how.” If I were Mike, I would keep a close eye on my best friend for any sign of “The Spy.”
IF NOT WILL, THEN WHO?
If the Duffers are not playing coy and Will is completely cleansed of any trace of the Mind Flayer, then who else could help the many-legged creep sneak back into Hawkins? Well, bear in mind that while exploring the creepy underground caverns created by the monster, both Sheriff Hopper and Dustin got sprayed in the face with Upside Down pollen. Hopper wasn‘t wearing any protection when he got hit—twice. Dustin, who was sensibly wearing goggles and a bandana, claims some of that dust got in his mouth. Either one of them—both emotionally fragile people at the end of Season 2—could be unknowingly incubating something nasty.
And if Hopper does wind up being the vehicle for this particular brand of evil, a quick trip under his cabin floorboards could hint at how that nastiness might manifest. We haven’t seen Hopper’s war experience take a toll on him (the grief he was nursing seemed pegged to his late daughter), but Vietnam-inspired P.T.S.D. was very much a subject of fascination in 80s pop culture. Will Season 3 take us on a hellish climb up Jacob’s Ladder (1990)? CHEKOV’S DEMODOG
One final possibility for a Season 3 invader could be the dead (or is it?) Demodog that Dustin and Steve stuffed in Joyce’s fridge. The creature doesn’t get another mention—not even in the “One Month Later” montage—but it’s hard to imagine students of pop culture like Ross and Matt Duffer ignoring something as enticing as that thawable critter on ice.
ANOTHER ANTAGONIST
If the Duffers want to give the Mind Flayer a rest for a year, only to bring him back for the planned fourth and final season, then there are a few other possibilities as to who might cause trouble for Eleven et al. next year. High on the list has to be her long-lost “sister” Eight, a.k.a. Kali (Linnea Berthelsen). Kali’s particular set of skills—being able to make you see whatever she wants you to—plus her violent, vengeful mission could easily put her on a path to come to blows with Eleven. (Those hallucination skills could also link up with a potential PTSD plotline for Hopper.) We also don’t know what Eleven’s other labmates (One-Seven, Nine, and Ten) are up to. We could have a big X-Men-esque showdown on our hands before all is said and done.
Another possibility for Kali and her rag-tag band of punks is that the Duffer brothers intend the seventh episode of this season to operate as a backdoor pilot for an Eight-centric spin-off series. (In fact, the brothers referred to that episode as “a whole little other pilot” when speaking with Entertainment Weekly.) Given the critical reaction to Eight’s episode (which was mixed at best), that spin-off seems unlikely. But either way, we’ve surely not seen the last of Kali who, bear in mind, is named after the Hindu goddess best-known for being “the destroyer of worlds.”
PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Eleven could also face danger from another pseudo member of her family: Dr. Brenner a.k.a. “Papa.” Though Matthew Modine’s Season 1 antagonist only appeared in flashbacks and visions this season, the Duffers have been quite clear that there’s probably more in store for him. Matt Duffer told IGN:
I would say that if we were going to kill Brenner… as an audience member watching the show, if that was his death, that would be very unsatisfying to me—when the monster jumps on him, and we cut away. He would deserve much more than that as an ending. So yes, there’s a possibility of seeing him again. Season 2 leaned in heavily on the notion that Benner is not quite dead yet. So Season 3 could give us a battle of Eleven’s father figures: Hopper vs. Brenner. WHO WON’T BE BACK
Though we likely haven’t seen the last of Brenner or Eight, we did see the Department of Energy chased out of Hawkins, hopefully for good. I’m not saying a shadowy government conspiracy won’t rear its head in future installments, but it would be nice to give the DoE a break from the villain role. I also wouldn’t mind if Billy, a truly unnecessary new character, disappeared into thin air.
Also, please let this be the last we hear of Barb Holland. Season 2 was far too preoccupied with serving the fan demand of “justice for Barb.” Justice having been served, I hope she rests, permanently, in peace. WHO HAS TO COME BACK
As with all high school-set stories, Stranger Things may have written itself into a bit of a corner when it came to graduating characters. It’s a fine tradition for teen shows to find some excuse to have their 18-year-old characters stick around town even after their senior years end, whether it be following burnouts like Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights or inventing conveniently localized universities like Hearst College (Veronica Mars), U.C. Sunnydale (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), or California University (Beverly Hills, 90210). So what, oh what will the Duffers do to keep graduating senior Steve Harrington in Hawkins next year? There’s no way they get rid of fan favorite and Season 2 MVP Joe Keery.
The third season could take place over 1985 summer vacation—but that seems unlikely, given the show’s penchant for autumn. Instead, the Duffers cleverly planted the idea in Season 2, Episode 1 that Steve might stick around town and go work for his old man in order to keep a protective eye on his now-ex Nancy. That’s not what I want for Steve the character. (Move on, Steve! Go to college!) But if it means the world’s best babysitter and his incredible head of hair stays in the mix for Season 3, then I’m all for it. The Jonathan/Nancy/Steve love triangle will live to fight another day.
FRIENDS AND LOVERS
Speaking of love triangles: the dynamic gently simmering in the background of Season 2 between Joyce, Bob, and Hopper means that we can all expect Will’s mom and Eleven’s adopted dad to go full Brady Bunch at some point in the future. Will the Duffers make us wait until the end of Season 4 for the moment we all can see coming?
[caption id="attachment_50486" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Not Zac Efron[/caption] NOW FOR OUR QUESTIONS ABOUT STRANGER THINGS SEASON 3 Are Hopper and Joyce finally gonna get together? Yes, Bob Newby’s heroic corpse is still warm, but Jopper fans need this question asked right up front. Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper certainly share a traumatic experience now, if not several, and they’ve got a long history that dates back to sneaking cigarettes together in high school. There’s something in their final moments this season that suggests this pair may be closer to uniting than ever before. Just think, Will and Eleven could be step-siblings! David Harbour certainly wants it to happen, saying on Beyond Stranger Things that “the sex would be a lot better with Hopper than it is with Bob.” Ouch. Were Dustin and Hopper infected in the tunnels?
A whole bunch of characters travel into the Upside Down–esque tunnels in Stranger Things 2, but two of our favorites also ingest a great deal of the funky stuff that’s floating around down there. Hopper spent a great deal of time trapped by those supernatural vines and Dustin swallowed a big chunk of Upside Down ephemera. Given the Duffer brothers’ reverence of Aliens, will these occurrences come back to haunt them? Like Will, might they develop a connection to this other dimension, or worse? If Dustin ends up having the Stranger Things version of a chest-burster, we’ll need years of therapy to deal with it.
What role will Kali play next season?
After that incredible opening scene for Stranger Things 2, we don’t see Linnea Berthelsen’s Kali until close to the end of the season, as Eleven has an adventure with her psychic “sister” that teaches our heroine the extent of her own powers. But is that it for Kali and her Warriors-esque crew? It’s hard to believe we’ve seen the last of her, not only because her connection to Eleven remains strong but because her arc ended so abruptly. There wasn’t the closure this character demands. There’s a lot more to this character and more story to tell.
Are there other numbers out there?
While we’re on the subject, are there other people like Kali and Eleven hiding in the Stranger Things universe? If we’ve met Eight and Eleven, where are the rest? The flashbacks to Eleven’s childhood and the way she connects with Eight certainly implies there could be more kids out there with similar powers. This is the kind of question that may not be answered in Stranger Things 3, but could come up in later seasons — or possibly a spinoff series. Just picture it: Stranger Things 5: Eleven Meets Twelve.
Will the Mind Flayer be the antagonist of season three?
That final shot of Stranger Things 2 is a beauty, and not just because it adds another layer to the use of “the stalker song,” as Gaten Matarazzo describes the Police’s “Every Breath You Take” in Beyond Stranger Things. The Mind Flayer is still watching every breath that the gang takes during the Snow Ball, as we see it stalking about Hawkins Middle School in the Upside Down. Does this mean that it’ll be back as the main villain next year? Or even further into the arc of the show? It certainly implies that we haven’t seen the last of this great TV villain.
Will Dr. Brenner return?
One of the most interesting developments in Stranger Things 2 is the strong implication that Matthew Modine’s Dr. Brenner is still alive. Not only does Kali tell Eleven that she hasn’t looked hard enough for “Papa,” but the Hawkins Lab goon that they threaten says that he can actually take them to Brenner. It’s not hard to envision a return for Modine’s formidable character in season three or beyond. After all, Eleven hasn’t completely closed the door on the first person to show her any care, so there’s a reason why she still hasn’t tried to track him down. (Also, Millie Bobby Brown has some fascinating insight into the Brenner-Eleven relationship in Beyond Stranger Things.) Whether it’s in flashbacks or an actual return to Hawkins, Brenner will almost certainly surface again.
Is Will Byers finally free?
The main narrative thrust of Stranger Things 2 was Will’s connection to the Upside Down, but are we sure that he’s been saved for good? We know that the Mind Flayer was able to hide itself pretty well inside Will’s mind. What if there’s still a deadly connection between it and Will? This poor kid just can’t catch a break.
What’ll happen to poor Steve?
The love triangle between Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan is all but over, officially leaving Steve as the third wheel. Sure, he’s become a big brother figure for Dustin, but is that enough to keep this character around for Stranger Things 3? He’ll be graduating from Hawkins High pretty soon, and as much as he’s a fan favorite, it feels like he’d be the one to go if the show decides to make room for new characters.
Is Hawkins Lab closed for good?
As most of the technicians at Hawkins Laboratory turned into food for Demodogs, and the rest drove off after Murray dropped his bombshell scoop about Barb’s death, it feels like the door is finally closed on the Hawkins Lab arc of Stranger Things. If we had to guess, season three will move away from characters like Dr. Brenner and Dr. Owens as primary characters, although a place like that surely has more secrets from its past just waiting to be unearthed.
