#this ask literally made me rewatch part of ep6 and ep4 lmao

[dickfuckk]

Question cause I haven't seen anyone else talk about this: where is Stede's bathroom? When Ed freaks out he scoots into the auxiliary closet. Then next we see him he's in the bathtub. Is his bathroom in the closet? Cause like, I can't imagine a man having a panic attack would come out of the closet (hehe), walk across a room full of people, and go down the hall to another room.

Which leads to another question: how is the auxiliary closet a secret?? Wouldn't he need help filling up the tub? I know the show's a bit anachronistic, but I doubt Stede invented plumbing/water heaters 2 centuries early.

Babe you are so valid for this, but I'm pretty sure the Revenge is about as nonsensical as Hogwarts

Although I believe I saw a post somewhere that had made a floorplan for the ship so if anyone knows what I'm talking about please feel free to link that post lmao

EDIT: Thank you @pickle92 bless you! Here’s the post with the floorplan

This post does seem to put the bathroom in a separate room though

But to answer your question, in ep6 you are correct, Ed enters the auxiliary closet

(You can barely fucking tell in this screenshot but it's correct)

In ep4 however, it does seem like the bathroom and closet might be in the same room, cause you can kind of see the sink behind Stede? (idk if that’s a sink actually but it does seem like the bathroom is behind Stede)

The bathtub would be hiding behind the wall I suppose.

You add an interesting point with Stede needing to tell people about the bathtub and therefore the auxiliary closet. I briefly thought he could have told Lucius, but then Lucius would have definitely used that hiding spot in episode 2 & 3 when Jim was hunting him down - so that means Stede must be filling up that bathtub on his own I guess... I somehow feel like it's very out of character for Stede to fill up his own bathtub, but I suppose he values his secret closet enough? Unless he is somehow able to section off the closet with a sliding door or something, so it just looks like a bathroom? Much to think about

I have another question though. In ep4 Stede has to dramatically open the auxiliary closet with his little gay statue, but in ep6 Ed just pushes the door open no problem. Which means the statue really serves no purpose other than dramatic effect. They're so perfect for each other honestly

rewatch details/thoughts part 2 (s2 ep4- s2 ep9)

-okay so the beginning of ep4 bears a STRIKING resemblance to the whole "Chrissy wake up" scene (except obviously Will doesn't get killed). so why did Vecna keep him alive when he could've easily taken him?

- also, Will's drawing of the Mindflayer is almost identical to Creel's spider drawing, but obviously a different setting

-can we talk about Will's breakdown to Joyce and him just sobbing "I just want this to be over!" because thats so fucking heartbreaking

-Hopper has one if those stupid bass fish decorations on him cabin wall. why, bro?

-why did I JUST realize that El was so upset about the TV being taken away, not just because it's a source of entertainment, but because she uses it as white noise to contact Mike? maybe I'm stupid

-Dustin relocated his turtle and never put him back. rip Yurtle

- I feel like the fact that Dustin also used to like Max is pretty overlooked. don't get me wrong, Lucas and Max all the way I mean they're adorable. but it would've been interesting either way

-so at the end of season 4, Will says that the "He" that was in his mind in season 2 was Vecna, but in s2 they pointed to a drawing of the mindflayer and asked if that was the "he" and Will said yes. so either he said that because of how often he'd see the Mindflayer in his visions, or Vecna was presenting himself as it in Will's mind. either way I wanna see that touched on more in the last season.

- the demobat trailer scene heavily parallels the junkyard demodog scene in s2 ep6, just in a different sequence. in the case of Eddie, they build the defense on the trailer, run inside and defend against bats trying to come in, THEN Eddie runs out and sacrifices himself. in the case of Steve, they fortify the old bus, Steve uses himself as bait, and then (as he should've) ran back into the bus to ward of the demodogs

-most of El's clothes are WAY too big, specifically her flannels. are they Hopper's?

-Kali has different powers than her siblings, and it's not ever said if she also has telekinesis. it seemed like 10 had sloghtly different powers too, which is a bit of a red flag for Eleven, seeing as she has the exact same powers as 001.

-the captions on ep7 made me realize that I've been singing Runaway by Bon Jovi pretty incorrectly lol

-the way the term "mouthbreather" got pretty dropped is sad :( it held a lot of power

-are the streets of Chicago really that scary? someone from the area please tell me

-Kali's power sorta does tie in with 001, actually. so maybe each kid has a little part of his overall abilities? El's telekinesis/ mind communication, Kali's illusions (like the clock, since anything else is actually in the victim's mind), and 010 seemed to have that sort of "true sight"

- Kali's room has a half lit neon sign of a Hamsa Hand- the universal sign of protection

-some of the graffiti in their hideout says: "Hottie", "So Long and Thanks", "Mena", "Forgot", "TR 117", "Wicked", and "Stinky Fa-" (rt..?) didn't catch the rest of that one

-if Kali escaped before the massacre, Henry possibly helped her. if she had helped him back like El eventually did, maybe it would've happened earlier, taking Eleven down with them. reason being, the speech she gives to El about tapping into strong and angering memories is strikingly similar to the advice Creel gives her in the rainbow room flashback. maybe Kali got the same advice?

-I miss Funshine.

- though "Dead End Justice" was a good choice, I think "Cherry Bomb" would've been equally as badass for El's bitchin makeover

-am I the only one who forgot that the guy Kali and El torture literally SAYS that Brenner is alive??? and it's just brushed over. like, I still thought he was dead until season 4 lmao

- while hyping himself up in the mirror, Billy oils up his... yk...

-speaking of Billy, he has a "Kill Em All" poster on his wall. the duality of 80s Metallica fans, apparently

-again, on the topic of Billy's room, he also has a Mötley Crüe album and a dartboard sitting on his bureau

-if I was Bob in that one scene, I'd be shitting my pants. shaking, crying, throwing up, quaking in my boots. mans was playing a real life FNAF Sister Location or some shit. idk my sister made me play once bc she couldn't beat the part with the flashlights and the endoskeletons and I hated that enough. no thank you, I'd rather be out in the open schmaking the shit out of demobats than bolting down dark hallways.

-joyce's trauma seeing Bob die in front of her got so overlooked in s3, plus eventually seeing Hopper "die" as well. it makes the scene in the Russian prison where Hop is using himself as bait a lot more powerful, I'm glad they brought that up so it wasn't just forgotten

-everyone's methods of understanding and dealing with these things are so different, and it's seen clearly in the part where Steve and the kids are left alone at the Byers' house. Steve uses sports terms, Max wanted cut and dry evidence, and the boys resorted to DnD analogies.

-"[The Mindflayer] its so ancient, it doesn't even know its true home" is an overlooked line, I'd like to see that explained more in season 5. the whole "it believes its the master race" though reminds me of Vecna saying how humans were a special kind of pest

-i wish we got to see Joyce's reaction when she found the demodog's dead body in her fridge
