#st5 predictions

I could see Mike doing his own version of the van scene/Will's painting confession in S5 where, because he is a writer, he tells a little story but it's clear to us and Will that the characters are stand-ins for their own relationship and reveals his feelings for Will.

More BTS pics! I love that the crew gets custom show merch that they can wear top to bottom! 🤩 They appear to be filming at the set with the rubber chicken which some have speculated is a campus radio station so I’m curious to find out what that set actually is!

While the map is cool I feel like it’s weird that it’s from the Department of Transportation as Hawkins seems too small to have a whole department for that! 😆 And that’s a lot of bikes! Clearly they are leaning into the Season 1 aesthetic hard! And a couple of the bikes look like they could be either Holly or Erica’s so that’s interesting!

It looks like Steve and Robin are still hard at work at Family Video and that we’ll be spending a lot of time at the Wheeler House this season! You gotta love Baby Mike! 🥹

If not slowburn romance, then why slowburn romance shaped?

"hey Jonathan I'm sorry I called you a queer, turns out I was The Queer all along" -- S5 Steve Harrington, probably

ok so i talked to a professional lighting designer i know and here’s what’s going on with the picture:

basically sets will use a key light that will highlight the subject of a scene. this light is normally yellow in tone and the brightest one on a set. you can see here its coming from the upper right corner and making the girl’s hair and shoulder the most highlighted part of the shot and also very yellow in tone. she is most likely standing in will’s light, preventing him from being properly highlighted.

now, to ensure that that bright yellow light doesn’t over expose the shot, another light needs to counteract it. it needs to create a shadow for the highlight to contrast with. this is called a fill light. because the key light is yellow, the opposite color will be taken from the color wheel to contrast it: blue. this is why will looks so pale, the blue tones of the fill light are the only thing shining on him due to her blocking him from the key light. the fill light looks like its coming from the opposite direction as the key light thus she is not obscuring him from it.

this would also explain what looks on the surface to be mistakes in makeup application. stranger things is netflix’s darling, they have good makeup artists!! they wouldnt just not apply makeup under his bangs or around the collar of his shirt!! this is just the result of where she isn’t blocking the key light contrasting with the fill light that he’s mostly bathed in.

the reason the lighting looks so dramatic is because the white balance in the picture was likely off due to this being a paparazzi photo where they were unaware of the lighting conditions, whereas that’s something they adjust to using the filming cameras when they know what lighting to expect.

ok thats all thank you for coming to my ted talk!!!

(he also said that an actor would never wear an earpiece mic like that so sorry to burst anyone’s bubble, this is a PA not millie😭)

can't wait for The Scene in s5 where they all have to exchange favorite songs to each other so if any of them get Vecna'd then they know what to play. and as everyone is yelling their favorite songs they turn to Mike, who hasn't said a word, and he starts fidgeting with his hands as he whispers "it's uh... it's- Should I Stay Or Should I go."

and Will just looks at him like 👁️👄👁️

i don’t think i can accurately describe how much i need everybody wants to rule the world by tears for fears to be in s5 of stranger things. i will combust into flame if we get there’s a room where the light wont find you / holding hands while the walls come tumbling down / when they do i’ll be right right behind you

And when a Byler bts picture gets leaked what will we do?

[miharuhebinata]

me & my mutuals when mike gets vecna'd & we finally get to see that deleted scene from s1 of him crying as he bikes home from the quarry

Thinking about the flyer for guitar lessons posted by the Hawkins community pool (on the list of Eddie's whereabouts in S4) all the way back in S3.

Thinking about how it said "impress crushes".

Thinking about the guitar in Mike's room in S4.
