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 :)
