i have a very specific stranger things headcanon which i'm going to expose rn while i explain WHY in my head Eddie Munson is the one destined to kill Vecna!!!
first of all we're going with the obvious facts, Vecna is a creature from the Upside Down but just as the other creatures from previous seasons, he also exists at D&D as "a undead creature of great power, spell caster and dark wizard."
next, Eddie is a Dungeon Master, a hell of a good one, who has Vecna as his main character at the most important campaings, which means he gets to "control" him like a puppet, and probably knows a lot about his powers and weaknesses. Now, y'all seeing the tattoo in his forearm?
this is the mf tattoo!!! long hands, the whole figure controled by strings, just like a puppet plus the fact that Eddie would 100% tattoo his own main D&D character as a puppet because he shows off damn good how it is to be a DM, so yeah, let's assume that Eddie Munson has Vecna as a Puppet tattoed in his skin.
and of course the guitar scene is included here, cuz we all know that this must be one hell of a important moment for the season, or even the final battle, briging Eddie who is a new character for the highlight of importance. and for the song he is playing, i was going for the theories that mentioned The Final Countdown as a classic one and Rainbow In The Dark cuz Eddie has Dio painted in the back of his denim vest.
well, that until this down here happened. spotify and netflix created this personal playlist with songs that would save each user from Vecna (the link was posted at the official strangerthingstv insta stories). most of songs were added according to your personal likes, but when comparing playlist with my friends we noticed that some songs were in everyone's playlist, like Should I Stay or Should I Go, Running Up That Hill, Separate Ways and other songs from the original soundtrack.
but one song in special caught our attention, it was in all of our playlists, even tho none of us recently listened to it, and that's Master Of Puppets by Metallica. and please tell me that you already know what i'm thinking. the song was released at March 3th 1986, like not even a month before the date they are at in the show, genre trash metal, 8 minutes!! and it's Metallica so of course Eddie likes it.
also, look at those goddamn lyrics!!! really??? I'M SCREAMING and idfc if El is the only one who's powerful enough to fight Vecna when this shit makes so much sense!!!! i mean Eddie plopped from nowhere into the Upside Down shit, coincidentally being a guitarist, when one of the only weapons they have against the villain is MUSIC, he's a dungeon MASTER who has Vecna as a PUPPET not only at the game but painted in his pure skin!!! HE'S 100% THE MASTER OF PUPPETS and no one can tell me otherwise!!
i know that this is probably not possible in the real plot of show but in my head it is so real 😭😭 they could totally match this theory with the one of Eddie being number 010 and make it happen!!! either way, i believe my man is the one who can fuck up with Vecna's life and laugh at his face while doing it! my master <3<3<3

DP x DC AU: Bruce is the one to invite Constantine over, and no, it's not to improve his tenuous working relationship with the asshole. It's the opposite of that.
---
Danny had become a frequent visitor of Wayne Manor in the last few months, and Bruce had to admit that while the kid was certainly a bit ominous for his liking for a partner to Tim, he was a generally kind and happy soul. They'd been dating for a lot longer than the Bats knew of- Kon had been the one to let it slip to Jon who told Damian and so on- and since the relationship was no longer secret, Tim brings him to family functions.
The thing about Danny is... He's dead. More than half of the time. Which again, is not Ideal for Bruce's wishes for Tim's future husband, but it also means that he reviles in being alive. Danny is downright joyous about using his time left on earth properly. He makes Tim eat real food, enjoy real sleep and generally live a more fulfilled life than he had been. The whole family noticed the changes in Tim, and it made them like Danny even more.
So after a particularly grueling day of dealing with Trigon and therefore the JLD's lack of coordination and sensible planning- Bruce gets the idea. John couldn't fucking contain himself admonishing Bruce, and perhaps it was vindictive, but Bruce figures that John should meet Danny. Sans context of course.
...
John is really over dealing with Batman's prissy, over complicated and perfectionist attitude. Come to the Cave he'd demanded, as though John didn't have a favorite bar to get back to, deal with a ghost he ordered like John didn't have other priorities than some random shade.
When walking into the space however, the second his teleportation portal closed, John knew something was deeply, deeply fucked. The shadows were growing longer, the second hand on his watch ticked slower, the air smelled of sulfur and... Red Robin was sitting working at the computer like nothing was wrong. But what was wrong, was the kid was marked by The End. Marked by The Infinite. FUCK.
John knew Death, the Endless, and knew she could pick favorites just like her siblings (Dream's immortal drinking buddy comes to mind). But this wasn't her work, this was something other.
"Mate- the Bat said there was a ghost?" John feels like he might throw up, the eerie atmosphere complicating what should have been a simple request.
"Uh, obviously." The kid didn't even look over from his screen or pause his typing.
John slowly approached, looking over each shoulder a few times, turning in a few circles as the shadows appeared to dance and echo within the cave. He could see his breath, the air became so cold so suddenly. And then, with the gentleness of a pin drop, a new agonizing sound appeared with a Kid walking down the cave stairs. The aura of the room turned dark, every cell in John's body screaming to run, that this was basically the little girl from the ring crawling through the TV as the young man walked down the steps.
"Babe, your grampa says that dinners going to be ready in a second. Oh, uh, hey dude." The creature speaks, turning his eyes to John for only a moment to study him. It feels equivalent to a butterfly being pinned by its wings.
"Y-y-you, you're, you're one of the Endless?" John stutters, his body reacting in fear despite the nonchalant posture of the Beast. The young man rolls his eyes.
"Nah, one of the Ancients but like uh, I'm new in town. And hon seriously don't be late, A made tiramisu for dessert and you're not allowed to have any if you're late and I don't want to deal with you pouting."
"You had me at Tiramisu!" Red stands up from his computer and then turns, "John, what are you doing here again?" Red Robin finally looks over at him, completely confused.
"Just leaving." John mutters, his eyes still trained on the ANCIENT.
---
Bruce could barely hide his laugh when Tim reported the Magician meeting Danny in the cave.
That'll show the asshole to question Batman's knowledge of the occult.
