"Hornet is Void" theory, not in any sort of intentional, engineering-your-other-babies or whatever way, but in a "PK had awful policy with Void cross-contamination and it meant that Hornet came out with a handful of VERY conspicuously void-y characteristics that everyone tries to ignore because no one actually knows for sure where they came from and acknowledging them in any formal way could lead t a political shitshow" way.

If Mike were scared of telling El he loves her he would have delivered "care" as if it were a replacement, not as smoothly and second hand omission as he did. Closer "blank makes you crazy" - an obvious substitute for something he is forbidding himself from saying

Very different from a natural inclination to avoid it.

He said "I care for you SO MUCH". If he were telling the truth about his reason it would have more likely been (a subtle version of) "I- CARE for you so much".

[tldr:

But this is all to say, I'm still noticing details I didn't not because they were hidden, but because they were SO obvious I didn't think I needed to remember them.]

All these little details that - before the ily speech caught me so off guard and my prediction was vol 2 Byler - came second nature to me as obvious support. Before I realized it was a prediction I needed to defend, I was highly confident based on his behavior. Now I break down why that is, but I was always highly confident based on his behavior and words.

Because I had a belief and I held it passively. And all you need for a passive belief is to never be contradicted, and he never contradicted me. And when a passive belief is supported, you don't note it because it's obvious and that list would get pretty long, don't you think.

I didn't track Byler details much at all on my first watch because once I realized in their fight that Mike had feelings for him, I just sat back to see how it unfolded. I only analyze it retrospect after he contradicted himself, but it was very consistent up until that point. So much so that I didn't even need to track it. Mike is acting like he can't say it because he doesn't love her and nearly says as much, Joyce wants to follow Hopper to Russia, what else is new?

I had no doubt that Mike nodding when Will said "don't like the truth" was because it applied to Mike not loving El too. Because I didn't know anything did.

There's no reason to track details when you think every idiot and their mother knows what's going on. The ily speech was mostly an out of the blue because of the wake up call of "you weren't supposed to know yet and everybody else was being tricked into thinking that this made sense". But originally, it was all these subliminal messages aka just...consistent plot points and behavior. I notice them now but I didn't then because they were inconsequential. Mike not being able to say he loves El while he's defensive about his relationship with Will means he loves Will. The sky is blue. I thought we knew this so why record and prove it?

But this is all to say, I'm still noticing details I didn't not because they were hidden, but because they were SO obvious I didn't think I needed to remember them.
