"The Vanishing of *** Wheeler." - So... Which Wheeler? Mike, Nancy, Holly? I'm leaning towards the last one, but! They all make sense. One can imagine how Vecna, could be after Mike, to at the same time, hurt Will, Al. Or, he could be using Mike as bait to lure them into a trap.
It's also conceivable that Vekna would come after Nancy for revenge because his plan didn't work out as planned, and Nancy, who knew more than anyone, almost killed him at the end of season 4.(But also, it would be as bait for others, a trap to lure them into the Otherworld.)
And the best part. What if it was Holly? Let's look back through all the seasons and realize the fact that she was somehow but connected to the Yznan, she saw a lot of things.
Season 1 - Holly was the one who went to the Byers house to get light bulbs and saw in Demogorgon style (saw somewhere a suggestion that it could even be Vekna, who even then wanted to kidnap her.).
Season 3 - On the Ferris wheel, Holly noticed that the trees were moving and apparently didn't believe her mom that it was the wind. I think Holly sensed something wrong, you know what they say, kids see more than adults.
Season 4 - We're shown that Holly is the first to notice ash from the sky, calling it snow. Once again, she's the first to notice something weird and it's not weird?
I think she's going to play a big role. Holly, Ted's favorite and father, Ted even fell asleep with her in his arms. We're told that Ted and Mike will have some kind of interaction, so why wouldn't it be a conversation like Ted is worried and starts asking Mike what the heck has been going on for years and where is the youngest daughter missing? Also, Holly's disappearance could strengthen the family as everyone will be on the lookout for the girl.
"Escape from Camazotz" - I think this is going to be a clash of the Bylers. We all know that the Bylers will likely have some sort of tension, but we know that they will most likely be Endgame this season. There are rumors and theories that the Bylers will become canon in episode 7. I think this all makes sense since we haven't been given the title of the last two episodes because they could be a huge spoiler.
" Sorcerer." - I can very likely tell you what was going on in Yznanka with him 1983. We'll be shown this with flashbacks that may show Vecna for some purpose, perhaps to get him to his side and show how similar they all are. Also, maybe it will show us that Will has the ability to hear and sense Vecna. Because of that, everyone might be afraid of him, since he can play both sides, or even if it's not him anymore, they might be afraid of him being evil. Mike and Joyce will be reminded of the events of season 2 and assure them that Will is fine.
bitches be like “this is my comfort show” and it’s a show about a bunch of gay kids with daddy issues running around killing monsters from a different dimension.
this is seriously one of my favorite scenes in s3 😭 JUST THE WAY STEVE TURNS HIS HEAD SO QUICKLY AND CONFIDENTLY TO HIS LEFT ONLY TO BE CORRECTED BY ROBIN’S “no your other right” AND STEVE’S LITTLE “oh.” THEN ROBIN’S “yeah.” IS SO FUNNY TO ME AND IT MAKES IT EVEN FUNNIER BECAUSE HE WASNT EVEN DRUGGED YET 😭😭😭
every day he woke up, put on that god damn sailor costume paired with the blue shoes he bought SPECIFICALLY to match, did his hair up, and applied his pink strawberry lipgloss and he still got no bitches
Eddie would have gone feral just to see him. put them in the same room and Steve won’t be the only one wearing lipgloss
shhhh pretend that this isn't nearly two days late
I've done post-starcourt steve&robin before, but it needed to be done again tbh. I'd like to think they cleaned up and got through the night together <3
Robin Buckley is one of the greatest characters of all time. She is a lesbian. She speaks four languages. She's in band. Her parents are hippies. She's neurodivergent. She translated and cracked a super-secret Russian code in a day. She talks a lot. She fucked up Prom once. The most popular guy at school confessed to her and then became her bestie when she rejected him and he drives her to school every day even though he graduated already because she doesn't have a driving license (she's poor). She is a weird runner. She figured out music could help against Vecna and saved Max. She's clumsy. She gives great dating advice. She sucks at flirting though. She's funny. She's super smart. She's a dumbass. She's a loser. She's great. Character of all time.
after having seen stranger things 3 AT LEAST three times, one scene that always hurts to watch is when Steve is getting tortured by the Russians bc it's played off as a comedic bit to I guess add some levity to what is obviously a dark subject matter but like
LOOK AT HOW SCARED HE IS.
I get it, sure. the "uss butterscotch" line is funny but I hate how it's used to completely breeze past what Steve is going through. we know that in season 3 Steve had just graduated so he couldn't be older than 18 and he's being BEATEN for information he doesn't have. you can see the pure fear in his eyes and it breaks my heart every time.
also crazy how this has just never been addressed since?????
