Finally, More NINA Puzzle Pieces

DISTRESSED NOISES!! WE GOT NINA CRUMBS!! AND IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!!

IT HAS THE CAMERA!!! AT LEAST ONE VERSION OF REALITY HAS THE CAMERA!!!!!

Okay so remember when I pointed this out about the NINA discrepancies in El's 4.05 entrance, and how there were at least 22 different iterations of events?

Specifically this glaring difference between reality (tapes) and the rest of the 4.05 entrance (labeled 3 and 8)?

The presence of a camera in a UD-ified version of HNL tells us that the bottom row of images straight up cannot physically exist in one cohesive reality.

Which is to say—Anything that does not have the camera is 100%, definitely, concretely not based in the UD's reality/those versions without the camera are either fake or set in a different reality.

If you've been following along this past year and a half, this is not news to you; it's just confirmation of what we already knew.

It does, however, means that none of this was based in reality:

We already kind of knew that, based on the props changing so much within the Rainbow Room each time/Henry's changing hair/etc, but the confirmation goes crazy insane. We love to see it.

After the first entrance to NINA/after we see the footage of the version with the camera, we don't see a non-camera version again. Any non-camera versions seem to disappear. This means whatever simulation El's stuck in, it's adaptive. It learns, with a propensity for making itself immersive by molding itself to to the subject's understanding of reality.

However, what fucks me up is that all of these are, then, set in the same "reality":

Which means the new ST5 UD-ified HNL, the physical camera footage of 1979, Henry's electrocution, Blood Hands El, El running to the Rainbow Room, and Brenner running to the Rainbow Room are all supposedly set in "reality".

That's not possible, though. The electrocution scene cannot have existed in reality/could not possibly be a memory, because 14 year old El is barely tall enough to see in. 1979 El would not have been tall enough to have seen interaction:

This means that none of NINA is reliable. Period. Even the things that appear to be set in reality are unreliable re: what actually happened in 1979.

Whatever NINA runs on, it's adaptive and manipulative. It's like c.ai, if c.ai was actually AI. Whatever it is, it takes El's experiences both in the lab and outside the lab and combines them to form entirely new scenarios that never really happened (see: Blade Runner 2049 and the manipulated/mash-up memories shenanigans). El has been told she's reliving memories. That is not the case. None of what she's seeing is reliable. It's like when a movie says it's based on a true story.

This fits with what I said about the monologue never having existed at all and NINA being an immersive empathogenic drug trip that pulls from El's outside memories. It also fits with my draft about the Mindflayer ties between Shadow-NINA in the VR, TFS, and NINA in ST4, and my speculation in that same draft about a) NINA specifically running on the Mindflayer, and b) the Mindflayer using familiar humanoid avatars to gain sympathy and coerce its target into joining it.

We see this kind of behavior in Patty in her garnering sympathy from Henry and then insisting that she and Henry run away together to find her mother in the Stardust Casino...regardless of the fact that Henry is still flayed. We see it again in our "Couldn't Possibly Exist" Henry as he garners sympathy from El and then tells El to join him. And then we see it again in Shadow Brenner using the NINA-like maze to learn about Henry as a means to try and coerce him into joining him. It's a continuing theme.

Both Patty and "Henry" want Henry and El, respectively, to accept their offer and leave with them. Both Henry and El reject that offer in exactly the same way:

In my speculative opinion, we see a resurgence of this particular dual-yeeting in Billy and Heather.

Henry in the VR, as we know, has a dubious ending re: escaping the simulation.

This exists in contrast to the other version of NINA Henry, who, much like TFS Henry with Patty, is insistent that El run away without him.

When I say that we have multiple guys, this is what I mean. Their motivations are entirely different. One of these men in NINA is not Henry. It's someone or something masquerading as him. If I had to speculate, I would say that it stems from the Mindflayer and its possible presence in NINA...Especially given the similarities between NINA and the Russian prison, wherein they have a trapped form of the Mindflayer:

In short—Every day it seems more likely that whatever El fought in the massacre was not Henry. It's like I said way way back last year: there's someone else in there with her. Multiple someone-elses, even.

It also seems, if I had to speculate, that rejecting the Mindflayer avatar is what gives El her powers back. This means it may also be what "changed" about One, as mentioned in the plinko scene.

This all also backs what I speculated way back in the day about the blood transfusions being related to immunity against the Mindflayer, either finding it, triggering it, or building it. It seems to function like getting a live vaccine: you're given dose of the live virus, and your body fights it off. In fighting off the Mindflayer, it's entirely possible that the process triggers latent powers in those who have them. Those who don't have the basis for latent powers eventually succumb (see: Will, Billy, the Flayed). Brenner, with NINA, may have been giving El the equivalent of a booster shot.

Why did Henry Creel kidnap Will?

First Shadow Spoilers!

I haven't seen the show yet but I really hope this isn't true, like I know Vecna's a pretty petty villain (like spending years trying to take down an 8 year old cause she beat a man in his 40s at a fight) but kidnapping a child because his mom was a bit shouty to him one time seems just next level weird.

There were so many Will/Henry parallels in the play, imo. Henry Creel was a child who disappeared at a young age and came back "wrong" (+ a link to the supernatural). He was in love with someone but knew this would be frowned upon as it was an interracial relationship, similar to how Will was in love with Mike but knew the gay shame that came with that. When battling what is seemingly the Mind Flayer taking over and giving in to it, Henry is able to regain control with the help of the person he loves. I don't think I need to explain how Will relates to that.

The way Will was taken to the UD heavily implied Vecna was stalking him, not to mention how Will wasn't immediately eaten like the other victims. I like the idea that Vecna-ified Henry kidnapped Will because he reminded him of himself so thought he would be the best vessel to use to take the UD into Hawkins and end the society that rejected him. Maybe he thought Will would get powers, just like he did. Maybe he was trying to create more super powered children as he was unhappy with the way El turned out after previously being satisfied with her.

I understand the purpose of Will/Henry parallels could purely be for the purpose of showing Will has a supernatural link and/or powers. But I think their years-long link to each other ending in a reveal that Henry targeted Will because his mother called him out for murdering animals(/people) would just be underwhelming. That has nothing to do with Will.

I guess I could be somewhat satisfied with the idea that's why he initially took Will but after Will froze the Upside Down, he has much bigger plans in place for him which will culminate in a S5 battle where Henry explains their similarities and why Will should join the dark side with him. But it's just less compelling to me than the Henry inside of Vecna feeling some sort of kinship to Will.

Any thoughts?

AITA for trying to conVince my kismesis to undergo medica| procedures?

I (8 Vio|et) haVe a kismesis (9, go|d) on the Verge of conscription. NoW, because she is go|d, she is set for a |ife for ship-s|inging and other, Various forms of mi|itary go|db|ooded treatment. Her moirai| (???, purp|e) does not knoW this; he is sti|| under the be|ief she is an off-co|or o|iVe.

Not on|y does she **refuse** to |eaVe him When he begins espousing Wi|d|y caste-ist c|aims, but be|ieVes she can fix him? Which, sidenote, Wou|d be *impossib|e*, if not |ife-threatening for eVeryone inVo|Ved.

To remedy a|| the aboVe prob|ems, i |ight|y suggested she change her b|ood co|or. As someone trained in e|aborate surgeries, With an ancestor heaVi|y invo|Ved in medica| and scientific discoVery, I am more than qua|ified to comp|ete the procedure for her. She knoWs this. But eVery time i ask her, she treats it as a joke or "cha||enge" that i, as her kismesis, am setting for her to oVercome.

I am not. To me, this is dead serious. Of course, this cu|minated in argument. She says i am "being insensitiVe" and "oVerstepping". Persona||y, i disagree. This opportunity Wou|d a||oW her to aVoid being he|med, keep her moirai|, and continue doing the Work she started here on-p|anet. Yes, i acknoW|edge that the surgery Wou|d be experimenta|, and Wou|d be the first of its kind. I knoW the risks of it, inc|uding her |ife. It is not |ike We Wou|d both be going in b|ind, she's seen the research herse|f. There's no |ogica| reason not to go through With it, in my opinion.

(And before anyone asks: yes. I am using a VPN/IP c|oaking too|.)

IFI UDE - Love Is Stronger **Eurovision Poland** (Lyric video)

Article: Poland’s multicultural music landscape: from Afro-Polish folk to Polish jazz from Peru

Ifi Ude: Afro-Polish folk

Ifi Ude is an independent Polish music artist with Nigerian origins, describing her music as Afro-electro folk. Ifi sings predominantly in Polish and her music combines Slavic and Nigerian folk traditions.

“In interviews, I am always asked about my origins first. During my performance the public first notice my skin colour, and only then see me as a professional music performer,” she says regarding the difficulty of being a Polish musician of colour in Poland.

In her view, there is still not enough diversity in the Polish music scene, with “people of colour in Poland creating and performing contemporary afrobeat, neosoul, gospel latino or hip hop.”

Her recent album Ludevo (a wordplay on the Polish term ludowo, meaning “in the folk style”) brings in Slavic influences and rhythms. She stresses, however, that incorporating Nigerian songs into her music is a way for her to preserve her personal connection with that country, echoing the multiplicity of her identity.

The 35-year-old started her music career by singing in alternative bands and venues in Warsaw, and in 2014, her first album, Ifi Ude, was nominated at the Fryderyk – Poland’s main annual music awards –in the debut of the year category.

Although she now lives in Warsaw, her songs blend various stories of daily hardships in Polish villages, touching on a number of contemporary social issues like alcoholism and strained family relations.

At the end of last year Ifi was nominated for the prestigious Passport award handed out by the Polityka weekly for outstanding cultural creators in Poland.

Hej mama mówiła mi by radzić sobie wiesz

Uczucia chować tam gdzie nie sięgnie licho ich

Sama uczyła mnie bo jej nie uczył nikt

By silnym w życiu być i w rękach trzymać los

Tato tato z kim ty pił

Bo ojcowie są od tego by dziewczynki się nie bały

im seeing hermicraft / homestuck crossovers and not to combine my alltime biggest brainrots but can you IMAGINE designing sburb lands for the hermits? combining the aesthetics of their builds and biomes? assign them denizens based on mobs they associate with? there is so much material for the crossover i wouldnt even know where to begin

[henrysglock]

running and looking scared mh ? (no idea if you've seen this already)

I havent 👁️👁️ this is very interesting considering we also have:

- A stunt double for Raphael when (based on current canon) he shouldn’t need one for that scene

- Livy with stunt glasses/protective eyewear when she arguably shouldn’t need them for her time in the Creel house (especially not in her move-in outfit)

- Many unseen non-lab outfits for Raphael

- THIS funky fresh and entirely inexplicable bts pic that shouldn’t exist because Raphael has no reason to be on set in this version of the Creel house.

And based on the light fixture, the room he’s in seems to be the room directly behind Virginia…and in his move-in outfit no less 🤔🤨

Not to mention…why UD-ify parts of the house that aren’t filmed in the first place?

Why UD-ify the dining room? The parlor? Robin, Steve, and Nancy never go in there in ST4. So…why?

Unless…it’s for season 5? 😳

REVIEW: Dear Europe @ Glasgow's SWG3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @NTSonline @TheGaryMcNair @SWG3glasgow @StandComedyClub @IFIUDE #brexit #europe

Dear Europe was created by The National Theatre of Scotland to explore our relationship with Europe, as well as the lived experience of what it means to be European. There were six pieces presented throughout the night, broken up by the host Gary McNair, who clearly was more used to The Stand rather than national theatre. His banter was a stark contrast to the works of theatre we viewed, which…
