remember—stranger things is a psychological thriller disguised as a horror/drama. this means that the entire show is basically made up of mind games. if someone tells you that you are reading too much into tiny details, they’re wrong! that’s exactly what the show is intended for!

OH MY FUCK WILL IS A WIZARD!

Stay with me now, I made a post a month-ish ago analyzing D&D in stranger things (which I recommend you read *winkity wink*), specifically addressing the party’s characters. We all know that Mike said that Will is a cleric in s2 to Max. BUT, it can be confusing because will’s character is named “Will the Wise” and he is dressed like a wizard. One might be able to argue, “well his name and clothes don’t mean that much to his class” well yeah you’d be right. But one thing that DOES showcase the class of a character is the moves they are able to make.

Clerics are able to cast spells based on the domain they occupy/the god they serve. To my knowledge, wizards don’t really have this problem of needing to be in a certain domain to cast a certain spell.

In s1 ep 01 Will casts fireball, a spell that can be cast by a Wizard or a Cleric, if they occupy the light domain. Recently I saw a post that showed this screenshot from s2

And I noticed the spell that Mike was talking about in his story. Fog Cloud is a spell that can be cast by multiple classes but most notably by Wizards and Clerics in the Water Domain.

It’s not very practical for a Cleric to occupy multiple domains for storytelling aspects but also, it makes the Cleric’s gameplay just a little overpowered.

So basically, Will probably isn’t occupying two domains and is more likely a Wizard. Which begs the question, why did Mike say he was a cleric?

TLDR; Two spells specifically mentioned in the show to be casted by Will can only be casted by him if he is a Wizard or Cleric occupying multiple domains, which doesn’t really make sense.

Wait how did I not notice before that in the moment in the finale where Max finally escapes into her memories of the Snow Ball, she's standing right in front of The Piano. You know, the "I bet if we hit these suckers in the right combo we might just open a door to his secret lair!", "You're such a dork", "I've really missed that.//Missed what?//Your laugh." piano! That piano!

Okay but can we talk about how Max and Lucas are interracial in a pretty conservative small town and Max first kissed him in PUBLIC, even after having personal experience with the consequences? Go girl!

I think about them a lot because after all season with Billy and us knowing him to be abusive, HER kissing HIM is her fully informed saying: "worth it".

And it's the best thing she ever did.

The Martyrdom of Saint Barbara (detail, ca. 1510) Lucas Cranach the Elder

Something I noticed with the costume design for Sauron, is there seems to be a subtle thread that carries through from s1.

After they got to Eregion, his tunic kept getting more and more embellished with dark pearls.

Example 1: Meeting Celebrimbor, then in the second shot speaking with Galadriel after she's become suspicious.

In s2e6, as Annatar, his outfit seems to get more and more intricate beading on it that I swear was not there in the previous shot. Perhaps he's just like "can't sleep, time to bead." :)

(I do not currently have stills of e6, if anyone wants to add feel free. I noticed it when his cuff glittered, where previously I don't think it had. Also could just be seeing things.)
