Vecna's death was peak
should’ve been the “mom, you’re killing him!!” scene cutting to will writhing on the ground because he’s still connected to the hive and can feel vecna getting beheaded. and will screaming in agony in the background as there are flashbacks to will from season 1. 🙃
I’m almost never on this site anymore but after finishing season 5 of stranger things (i know, late to the party), I just had to put a rant out there. it’s been years since I’ve seen season 1-4, so I did have to refresh a little, but it’s clear the writing for this season wasn’t really up to fan expectations 😭 and for a good reason because I wouldn’t say I’m too much of a diehard but what they did with the ending was like bruh this can’t be canon 😭. it’s like they had a sitdown with the writers of GOT season 8 and tried to learn how to end a show from them. like yo next time lowkey go learn from vince gilligan
anyways i haven’t done the whole Reddit deep dive yet so i’m just basing my opinion off what i thought while watching the show and some youtube comments that agree.
first of all, missed opportunities all around, especially with mike. like i genuinely believe it should have been canon for vecna to take him and for a highlight of the season to have been relationship dynamics between him, el, and will. there’s a whole youtube video on this and i strongly support that version of s5. will can still have the whole being connected to vecna thing, holly could have been a trap to “lure” mike, and we still could’ve seen amazing acting and badass moments from both just with more nuance, more plot twists, and more emotional tension all around. plus, with the whole d&d theme going on, it would’ve been really cool to see vecna turn the storyteller of the group into his pawn/vessel and there being a whole extended plotline where vecna’s plans to get back at the party and the party’s reactions could be acted through a mike memory of them playing d&d and a whole imaginary campaign in this head, except it’s happening irl (i saw this on youtube and i think that would have been wayyy cooler plot line than the 12 children which the show didn’t expand on or explain either). plus with this route we can get more interactions with mike and max which would have been another fun dynamic to explore.
next, will seemed to be selectively connected to the hive mind? i think it’s really cool that will realizes he can use his powers because he’s connected to the hive, but it made no sense that he miraculously disconnected during the final fight and survived until the very end. i love will’s character, but plot wise, it didn’t make sense if he was connected and mysteriously disconnected. maybe he does survive by some miracle or el does something, but i truly did want the scene where joyce is hacking away at vecna’s head to be a moment of intense pain for will because he was still connected to vecna. and it would have been an intense, raw emotional moment for joyce to finish the job, fighting the pleas of her son to kill her most hated enemy. again, saw this on youtube too but was exactly my thoughts when watching the show.
and not to mention, the science is just like HUH??? like they didn’t even try to bullshit some physics that could maybe make sense theoretically. they literally get a high school physics teacher in on the team, but he contributes nothing beyond agreeing the abyss is a realm of total evil and that it’s a whole wormhole deal. like with the whole “worlds colliding” thing, their theory being “correct” seemed pretty lucky to me given that steve was just guessing and had no physics fact checkers on his “theory.” horrible missed opportunity to actually make something make sense.
and vecna’s backstory and eventual hiding place in the abyss was kind of lackluster. vecna’s backstory was giving muzan from demon slayer… could’ve developed it more. and dropped more lore about everything. also the abyss not even looking cold to me was strange if they thrived in freezing environments…? and what happened to the mind flayer basically being like an omnipotent cthulhu-like eldritch horror who had far greater powers? why was it so easy to end all the evil 💀
tbh watching that fight lowkey gave me flashbacks to GOT final season fight against the whitewalkers.
lastly, having el kill vecna makes no sense to me. i think will was the one being set up to do it and that it should have been him. or at least, have had a major part in it before collapsing and joyce attempting to finish the job, but having to deal with realizing that will was still “connected” to the hive. it would’ve been an incredibly cinematic moment to have vecna attempt to get at the party one last time by showing joyce her worst fears, causing her to hesitate before she ultimately overcomes him and kills him.
but yeah, there’s a lot more plot holes beyond this. i wish the version the fans have was canon because 😭😭😭 this cannot be real. I NEED A GOOD FANFIC !!!!!

Hello! I’m a college undergrad looking to earn money to help pay bills/rent for my apartment in the upcoming school year.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely
technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.
Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.
Free courses on Coursera.
Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison
For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.
When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

GLOW UP GUIDE FOR 2025⠀
READ: On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And considering that 2025 is precisely these many days away, why not start with our glow up plan already?
Physical Glow Up-
BODY
— 5-10K steps a day.
— 7-8 hours of sleep.
— workout everyday for 1 hr atleast- yoga/stretching/pilates/cardio/lifting weights. a workout may take one hour, but your mood will be boosted for the next 12 hours.
— posture training.
— sunlight exposure after waking up for at least 10 minutes.
NUTRITION
— 2-3 liters of water every day.
— limit your caffeine intake.
— avoid sugars as much as you can.
— high protein diet, pre and probiotics.
— more fruits and veggies (+ green smoothies if you like).
— no junk/processed food/trans fat.
— no eating after 8 pm.
SKINCARE
— be clear on your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive).
— once you're clear, use these accordingly- cleanser, toner, targeted serum, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen (≥50 spf).
— keep your bedding clean as well.
— no picking of skin on your lips, cuticle etc.
— gua sha to help improve blood circulation and lessen toxins.
— cold therapy may take three to five minutes of being uncomfortable, but your energy levels will be boosted for the rest of the day.
— remove makeup before you go to bed.
BODY CARE
— shower every day.
— exfoliate 2x a week.
— use body lotion (shea butter/aloe vera gel/coconut oil).
HAIR CARE
— wash hair 2-3x a week
— oil your scalp 2x a week, at least 3 hours before shampoo.
— hair mask 1x per week.
— never brush wet hair.
— use silk pillow case.
HYGIENE
— brush your teeth 2x a day, clean tongue and the roof of the mouth daily.
— floss daily.
— cut your nails 1x a week, never remove the cuticles.
— glycolic acid under arm for odor and discoloration.
— never use soap on your coochie.
Mental Glow Up-
MINDSET
— set clear goals- define and breakdown your aspirations.
— start your mornings with positive affirmations.
— surround yourself with uplifting content and people.
— be shamelessly selfish to your career and mental health, remove anyone or anything that doesn't align with your priorities and wellbeing.
— boost your brain health by these 4 neuroscience tools:
difficult first: start your day with the most difficult task (cortisol and dopamine are high in the body meaning that your body/mind is primed to work).
rest your eyes: introduce a micro-pause after learning by resting/closing your eyes - will help retain information better.
tomorrow's worries: write tomorrow's to-do list before bed as it is proven to be effective in helping you fall asleep.
find time to play: engage in low-stake play. can be anything you find fun but where the outcome doesn't matter (induces neuroplasticity + reduces stress).
MIND
— meditation might take as low as ten minutes, but your focus will be improved for the rest of the day.
— no social media after waking up and at least an hour before bed.
— keep aside 1 hr of time to read daily! reading a new book may take five hours, but you will keep the knowledge forever.
— journaling, gratitude.
— digital detox once a week or for 12 hours.
— limit unnecessary screentime, unfollow or cut off people you don't want to see.
JOURNALING
— choose a regular time each day to journal, making it a part of your routine.
— find a quiet, comfortable place free from distractions. light a candle if you want.
— allow your thoughts to flow without censoring or editing.
— write about your feelings and emotions to understand them better. write about things you are thankful for to boost your mood. write about your short-term and long-term goals. identify what triggers certain emotions or reactions
— set a timer for 5-10 minutes and write continuously during that time.
— reflect on both positive experiences and challenges.
— make lists, journal your thoughts on these questions.
— journal at night to clear your mind before bedtime, because emotions and thoughts lose their power once we acknowledge them.
— a gratitude practice may take five minutes, but your mindset will be shifted for the rest of the day.
AFFIRMATIONS
— customise affirmations to your needs.
Personal Life-
WEEKLY TASKS
— initiate small changes: begin with small, manageable tasks such as making your bed or cleaning your room every sunday.
— celebrate your success: reward yourself when you achieve your goals or have a consistently productive week. consider treats like buying flowers for yourself or watching your favorite show.
DAILY WORK
— set achievable goals: establish realistic goals for the day, week, or month ahead.
— track your progress.
— organise your work space, declutter your shelves etc.
— embrace the power of lists: keep a list of tasks to be done and their deadlines. this way, you start each day with a clear plan. to make it visually appealing and motivating, consider using productivity apps like evernote, habit tracker, or notion.
PRODUCTIVITY TIPS
— wake up early.
— plan ahead everything, do scheduling. you can use:
google calendar / notion / tasks .
— if the task takes less than 2 minutes to finish, do it immediately.
— countdown rule, if you are procrastinating, count 1-2-3-4-5 and jump.
— start slow, don't rush and try to do everything at one time.
— follow a proper routine, use app locks based on screentime.
— pomodoro technique, 25 min work, and 5 min break.
— schedule longer break times as well e.g 30 min nap.
