On Nikki Baxter and Tales of '85 in general:

i feel like she was created just so they could divide Will from the group without rubbing salt in the wound, but it rlly doesn't help cause it's all retcon and she doesn't exist in the rest of the show, so at the end of the day her character does not matter at all. I guarantee she's supposed to be this loud outwardly queer character so that the Duffer's // Netflix don't loose their diversity brownie points. They're still trying to get into queer fans' pockets after stomping all over our parade. I will not have it. I'm not watching it. Hell, even in the actual show's finale we don't see Will and Robin talk again. She was just a temporary mentor. Everything / everyone in this show is just temporary for some reason. Making this show occur between s2 and s3 is just nostalgia bait. Having an animated series between s4 and s5 would've actually made sense and been cool if targeted to a diverse age range, but not, they made this TV-Y7 ass show that will only make sense to fans of the show to show their children--if they have any.

something about El being a symbol of Will and Mike’s feelings

(I think if Karen survives vol4, she will be supportive for Mike and his relationship with Will ❤️)

[manic-pixie-aquarius]

The concept of avoidant Mike Wheeler instead of straight Mike Wheeler. Mike friend-zoning Will because he doesn't like change and is scared that he'll break Will's heart like he did to El. He doesn't understand why he can't be a good lover and why he can't be a good friend anymore, he hears Will is over him and is glad because for some reason the unrequited feelings relieve him of his own complicated feelings. He can be a good friend again from a distance--because he's suppressing so much. He's caring and considerate, nothing about his behavior is offensive but Will can feel the push away, thinks it's just part of growing up and it might be for the better given how codependent they might have been. Will grows closer to the few other queer people in Hawkins and has his first relationship. Mike is supportive but solemn. Mike never gets a girlfriend and everyone assumes the depression and rejection of relationships is because of mourning El still, and wanting her back. But really he's existential about how he can't be open with anyone and truly honest because he's so scared of the truth and holds so much guilt for several reasons--many of which nobody holds him culpable for, just himself.

I wanted to talk about yet another plot hole. I don't think I've seen anyone mention this one before (though someone may have and I just didn't see it).

Steve mentions in The Crawl that Will hasn't had his "goosies" in 18 months, the last time he felt them being the season 4 finale.

However, we see later on that Will feels them when Derek walks by while being watched by Vecna. This suggests that it's merely the hive minds presence that is required, not any particular use of powers.

So...

How can Will live with the Wheelers for 18 months and not once sense the hive mind's presence even though Mr. Whatsit has been paying visits to Holly?

I don't buy that Venca would be avoiding Will and waiting for him to be away. He visits her in the basement, which has apparently been his bedroom for a year and a half, on Halloween. He visits her outside the Wheeler house at breakfast time when everyone is going to be called to the table. He straight up kidnaps her from the house with no indication that he knew or even cared where Will was.

In fact, if Vecna cared at all about being detected by Will, he never would have targeted Holly in the first place. If he only goes after kids with no connection to the Party, he probably succeeds in his plan because they never figure out what's going on.

But, somehow, Vecna manages to pop in on Holly multiple times at home totally undetected, despite Will, who senses the hive mind whether he wants to or not, living in that same house for a year and a half. There's suspension of disbelief, and then there's shit like this.

Whether it's just yet another plot hole or a sign of funny business would depend on one's opinion of conformitygate, I suppose. I know what I think, though.

Hey long time no see

SCHOOL IS KICKING MY AAAASSS

Not to mention everyone I know's birthday happening from January to end of February... anyways, that's besides the point

I have an update. kind of an unfortunate one I guess you could say...

I think last week I just officially fell off the conformitygate bus. It's not happening and i've made peace with that.

Yeah I still find myself getting random bursts of anger and frustration and depression because of what could have been and ultimately what was, but I know there isn't a way to go back and fix everything and I finally understand that.

There's still conversation going about the WSQKsync and

JESUS FUCK THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME

[chirpsythismorning]

Weirdly enough I did notice this on my initial watch, but just sort of wrote it off as an uncanny cgi blip.

Though something else I noticed upon rewatching, is that there’s what looks to be a shadow overlayed on Mike from the demo pov. It’s sort of blink and you’ll miss it, so I’ll have to see if I can get a frame of it to share bc I can’t even really describe it. But I do know we only see it with Mike, not Lucas or Robin.
