The Duffers and their Loop Holes.

And depending on your opinion, a jump scare.

The Jake wedding is upon us. A bride dressed in white.

Jane + MiKe = JaKe

Millie Bobby Brown stays winning. A ship named after her husband. ❤️

A blog. Coming soon.

[persistentmimicgrail]

If there is a wedding, I'll be even more convinced that Ross is telling us his story. He's the same age as me. 80s kids grew up knowing what was expected of them.

Maybe we've conformitygate wrong. Maybe it isn't a social experiment or to punish anyone. Maybe we're the only ones who'll understand how it feels to live a lie. It feels long for us but for Ross it's been forever...

ST: has anyone explored Will=Vecna?

I probably shouldn't base too much on Lego but it's niggling me. Rex was the disillusioned, angry version of Emmet. Maybe Vecna is the banished, lonely version of Will. Henry could be an illusion, or..an alternate? El recognises Will, we still don't know why..and will is an illusionist according to the credits. How Brenner fits in I'm not sure but..it could explain the 'hive mind'. We still don't know how real Henry is, and Nina is incredibly suspect. There are comments about how they're like each other, and they could be the equivalent of a loop repeating where fear wins.

Also, the anniversary effect of November.

Bonus points if we can tie in #bobgate as an alternate/earlier reality? Feel free to rubbish or expand on it :)

Also, apologies if this has been suggested loads before, i only joined between s5 vols 2 and 3

this looks like an interesting movie for ST fans (not related to ST or CG in any way)

‘What’s the opposite of a gay demon?’: The creepy new Australian horror film that’s getting global buzz

I love how the whole fandom just collectively agreed that Mike is short for Michael

is this the mf particles spreading?

Since when are there TWO nail bats?

(the one on top has triangles all over it)

[persistentmimicgrail]

errr....

That book says physical science and graph theory

... we could be talking particle physics, algorithms, neural networks, (power grids)...time travel..

Anyone have expertise? @bbghostbones is this your wheelhouse?

[bbghostbones]

tis not but!

just because i am bad at math lol means im really good at other things like looking things up and guess what!

graph theory can be associated with Pascal's triangles

Pascal’s triangle | Definition & Facts | Britannica

Pascal’s triangle, in algebra, a triangular arrangement of numbers that gives the coefficients of any binomial expansion, such as (x + y)^n.

Uses: in satellite tech, radome analysis/computational analysis and models of radomes, photography, computer graphics, etc so I'd maybe start looking stuff up from there

just thought this one was pretty:

There's also the sierpinski triangle

Sierpiński triangle - Wikipedia

He's polish and since there's a lot of polish nods maybe he's the key

ST & Lego (sort of)

lord business is another paternal villain

The kid's name is Finn.

In Back to the Future, is Dr EMMET Brown

I am going mad..

Emmett becomes corrupted by despair/bitterness in 2 to become Rex (who does Will become?)

Bianca starts a competing misunderstood campaign. She's the MF. Maybe holly is more significant than we thought (damn, i posted about holly and lego movie 2 weeks ago!)

Love is the creative spark

Heart piece offering anyone?

[esarity11]

the byler bus is UP AND RUNNING bcs of the lego byler ad

[persistentmimicgrail]

yeah, lego and Will Ferrell haunting the narrative!

Go Lonnie 'the Hawk' Hawkins!

(If the golf thing is real, shame on Netflix for allowing that name lol)

[persistentmimicgrail]

My (small and probably totally insignificant) prediction for Tales of Ragebait

i suggested something similar when that first image of Nikki Baxter was circulated, but it's bugging me again so thought i'd share (sorry).

All i can see with her holding that (cake?) sparkler is the word *BOOM*

She's going to say it, she has to. It's just there, ready and waiting...

ST & The Philadelphia Experiment conspiracy

so..my brother just saw that the whole ST thing starts with The Philadelphia experiment. He's explained that the conspiracy theory goes something along the lines of the sister ship to USS Philadelphia (twin?) was the USS Eldritch. The original e/m field worked reasonably okay but wasn't big enough so they turned up the voltage (red dial) and the ship transported to the future (80s). Some crew fused with the ship (melted room/stuck soldiers), survivors above a certain deck level went insane (demos) and there's another part where someone claimed to be part of a space force, who trained in the time (jump) room, also known as the rainbow room. (Jumps, rainbows, sending people eleswhere? El)

... this is a psyop.

He's suddenly become a lot more invested (the thoughts in brackets are mine lol)

@bbghostbones we salute you :)

He recommends coast to coast am philadelphia experiment episode as a reference

ST: The infamous red dial

i've been watching Friendly Space Ninja's youtube video roasting ST. I haven't finished it yet (it's 5 hours long!) and as a cger I'm still looking at ST from a different angle but he does make some interesting points.

Especially about Shock Jock. Lucas's idea to 'activate' the mf particles is built on a completely false premise. Heat harms these things, so why would it reanimate a dead demo? (Electricity could be argued but still)

So.. if they can't reanimate the demo, the dial is useless in this instance. The dial changes to red because it's not true. We're in illusion land.

Edit: even if they can somehow reanimate it, the end result is only ever going to be the release of the mf particles as the host is inhospitable, so they end up doing what serves Vecna. So the red dial works in that way, too. Either way, they're all cooked.

(I mean, the whole thing is just nonsense but we have to entertain ourselves while we wait somehow :) )

[greenfiend]

What's interesting is that in Something Very Bad is Going to Happen they show the Will/Mike and El figurines while a boy talks about "Sorry Man". Making the connection between the existence of Byler/El's survival with the existence of the Sorry Man.

The boy believes and is surprised when his father insists that he no longer believes Sorry Man is real.

Then they all chant "it's just not real".

Well guess what turns out to be real.

[persistentmimicgrail]

how did i miss that was actually a shot in the show? Yeah.. there's a lot that could be explained away but this.. I'd argue that this is an Easter egg but think that would be incredibly bad taste atp

Stranger Things, According to Einstein

"there are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats"

Grey (silver) cats are supposed to represent harmony, balance, intuition and protection. So they're usyally a good thing.

Do music and cats help us, here, or trap us? Idk but the quote is fun and atp who knows? :)

[waitadangminute]

I found this interesting

It has a ton of stuff in it, but this necklace stuck out to me.

"Dreams are for real"

Huh. That's new.

Weird.

[persistentmimicgrail]

shout out to tupac

'Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.'

That's our proof

More ST thoughts

I'm rewatching season 1. I'm listening out for owls but had a couple of thoughts, so figured I may as well note them down. I might update as I go. So far:

NEW POINT : I wanted to ignore this but it's bugging me. I hope it doesn't point to a fakeout story. But, did anyone ever point out that Dustin wipes his nose in the first episode and it looks rather like the way El and Will do with their nosebleeds? the most horrible thought but I keep coming back to it. If someone falls into the quarry, the impact makes the water act like "concrete." If they broke "every bone in their body" would they look like Vecna's broken victims? the mixtape. I think that is the one from Jonathan. We just haven't seen it used to it's full effect, yet. Will communicates with Should I Stay or Should I Go. But it's not Will who needs to hear it at some point - it's Mike. "You can keep the mix if you want, it'll change your life". Yeah, and Jonathan will help Will get what he wants, if Mike hears that music and it wakes him up. the library. we know it's significant. but, I've seen a couple of gnostic things recently and the library has a checkered floor. the pattern is associated with the Knights Templar according to my brother. And gnostics are seeking knowledge. To defeat the (false, evil) god. Libraries are literally the place for knowledge. There's bookshelf references elsewhere, too, obviously. Could be doing double time for interstellar/time references but knowledge as well (and we feel like we're missing important information.) I'll keep going :)
