let me out

its bleak

intro ☆

hello! I'm kev, she/her, and this is my stranger things side blog! I'm rewriting this entire intro post because tumblr gave me that stupid "your network flaked out" error and the post didn't go to my drafts, so I'm gonna keep this more brief.

Outside of ST, I'm a big musical theatre fan, more specifically a fan of Starkid and the Marvin Trilogy (lowkey made this blog because most of my mutuals are Starkid mutuals and I don't wanna flood their dashes with constant ST posting lol). I'm also a big Vocaloid fan, and a fan of a lot of assorted kids media! If any of this piques your interests, feel free to check out my main!!

This blog will mainly be me reblogging any ST related content I enjoy, but I may post my own analysis and fanart as well! My asks will be open, but please keep it respectful and kind. Anyone is free to interact (unless you're clearly disrespectful, crosstagging, ragebaiting, etc). I will mainly be lingering in the Byler tag, and also ST speculation and theory tags.

General things you will find on this blog

- nancy wheeler posting

- will byers posting

- byler posting

- henry/tfs posting

- general ST speculation and theorizing (the big picture regarding TFS, Montauk/Philadelphia experiment connections with ST, Henry and Edward Creel, multiple timeline theories, time weirdness in general, Weirdness around the Quarry and its significance, etc).

- discussions about the official ST novels

(I own most of the official novels, as well as the 2026 annual, the Worlds Turned Upside Down book, and the S1 and 2 scripts, if you'd like to see a certain page, let me know!)

Theories I love

why would you like media that is good if you can like media that is bad instead and pace around your room like an insane person thinking about What If It Was Good

[strangertheory]

Do not watch Tales from '85. The Duffer Brothers need to learn their lesson after ruining Stranger Things 5 (seemingly intentionally, whether because of malice or simply poor taste and nobody capable of saving them from themselves.) Boycott all future projects they ever do.

+ Fans that hate ugly animation

Let me just get on my soapbox for a quick minute. You know why I know this is a cheap cash grab? Because they had the opportunity to do something really cool by giving us a throwback 1980s cartoon (see images below) and instead they chose to use generic ugly looking 3D animation with no character. It just showcases the lack of thought and consideration that plagues this franchise at this point! I wouldn't have watched it if the animation was cool but I'm just saying, at least try!

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

Seriously. I think it was even said they were going for a Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe, but they didn't even try for that.

jonathan hating the movie mr mom bc he's watching a grown man struggle with shit he's been doing since he was twelve

[phoebebyers]

remembering how it felt to turn on stranger things season 5 episode one the crawl for the first time and watch that scene in the hallway with the jocks and genuinely almost turn the whole thing off out of secondhand embarrassment

[henrysglock]

I know I said I was leaving, and I am, but it’s been brought to my attention that henrycreeltm is alleging that I’ve sent porn to minors and encouraged minors to engage with smut that I’ve written…while also openly admitting that they have no concrete proof of that claim.

If you happen to encounter one of these posts or posts like them, I politely request that you report it—either that, or send the hyperlink to my inbox so I can report it as harassment.

Tangentially, some of you may recall the falsified discord screenshots that were spread around as part of a previous smear campaign against me. Given that henrycreeltm is asking for people to send them proof, I’m asking anyone who reads this to think critically about whatever “proof” that might be “sent” to henrycreeltm or their friends.

In Light Of Recent Events

As many of you know, I've been dealing with multiple different stalking, harassment, and smear campaigns from the Henry fandom over the past ~1.5 years. The only source of entertainment and/or ego support these fans seem to rely on is making up lies about me with either completely fabricated or intentionally misinterpreted bases (you may recall the Vinnie incident, the mantle of which has most recently been picked up by henrycreeltm, pattynewbytm, and their buddies). They just can't seem to leave me alone. They need to have someone to harass, likely for some twisted sense of superiority, and then they turn around act like I'm the evil, creepy, obsessed one who's attacking them when I tell them it's not okay to behave that way towards people. I've tried blocking, I've tried reporting, but they always just find new and unique ways to stalk and harass me—or pass the duty off to some new adult and their ring of minors that they reeled in by loudly claiming to be "safe" individuals and setting up some random guy they don’t like as the Big Bad Evil Guy. That doesn't ring any grooming alarm bells for anyone else? That doesn’t creep anyone else out? Just me? Okay. How has this happened three times now? At what point will the fandom go “Hey that’s kind of weird behavior”? That point doesn’t exist, I guess.

Anyway, if it were just directed towards me, I'd probably just try to ignore it and go about my day. But now they're involving my friends, and I'm particularly concerned about how they're treating a friend of mine who, yes, is a minor ( she’s 17 years old). Henrycreeltm, pattynewbytm, and their little posse have been doxxing and spreading lies about that friend—specifically lying about that friend's age—which is disturbing behavior to say the least. I don't think I have to emphasize how incredibly unsettling that is.

And no one else ever questions it. You’ll run amok with lies about my friends and me, but you won't go "...huh. That's really unacceptable and inappropriate behavior" towards the people spreading those lies. None of you want to talk about how fucked up it is that henrycreeltm is actively harassing a minor right in front of you. They’re not “saving” her or “protecting” her, they’re harassing her. They doxxed her. Go talk about how messy, predator, and dangerous THAT behavior is.

And now that same group is even sending me suspicious links from literal burner accounts because they’re all blocked? (All in question have also been blocked and reported, btw)

It gets to a point. It really gets to a point.

What I'm trying to say here is...after a night of thinking on it? I'm tired. I'm really, really tired. I don't want to do this anymore. I've tried really hard to chin-up/keep-calm-and-carry-on my way through it all, and I think I did a pretty good job of it. But if you guys are going to start attacking kids—and to be perfectly clear, doxxing is an attack—just because you have some weird hate boner towards me? I'm done. I'm bowing out. Whatever. You win. I hope you're happy. I hope you feel really good about yourselves and your behavior. Go find someone else to harass, because I'm not the one anymore.

As I've always said, I'm never deleting or deactivating this account. I will be logging off, though, and I don't think I'll be coming back. So congrats, I guess.

Have the lives you deserve.

My previous post was originally meant to be an April Fools joke, like a "Haha, you can never get rid of me, I'll be staying right here on this blog in this fandom until tumblr dies" kind of thing. But honestly? I cannot recommend leaving tumblr enough. If it sucks, hit da bricks, or whatever. I don't have to sit here and put up with any of this from any of you. You don't get to have access to me anymore.

You people are mean because you feel like you can be with no consequences, but I promise you that your behavior will come around and bite you when you're middle-aged and alone, and you realize it’s because all your friends have left you for being an intolerable chronically online creep who wastes your time stalking people and doing everything you can to make them as unhappy as you are.

Well guess what? You don’t get to do that to me anymore. I’m done being your scapegoat. I’m done sitting here letting you slander me. You can go be miserable by yourselves, and you can cannibalize the fandom on your own when you inevitably need to scrounge up some other poor fandom-goer to make into your new pariah so you can feed your ego and soothe your fear of someone else making you the pariah.

That ^^ is not even touching on the people who were hate-following me before I blocked them myself. You’re a special brand of pathetic, and I hope you either get a life or stay as unhappy, bored, and lonely as you come off. If you ever see this post: you know who you are.

Like I said: I'm not deleting my blog or anything. Henrysglock at its core re: analysis and theorizing was always meant to be testament to the Duffers’ failures with Henry first and foremost anyway. But I'm not answering anons anymore, I won’t be posting anything but fic update links for the foreseeable future, and I won't be checking my notifications more than once a month. If you desperately need to reach me, you can ask someone else to relay a message. (Or, if you're a mutual: you can ask my friends for my contact info. No guarantees you'll get it, but you can ask if you so desire.)

For those who were normal towards me: Maybe we'll be in another fandom together someday. I genuinely hope we will. Until then? Happy trails.

For the rest of you, and you know who you are: Suck my fat one.

i still keep thinking about how they literally put henry and terry (and by extension el) in an honest to god CHURCH and never had will byers so much as stand in the doorway of a church. and will stans will still rant and rave about how will’s got all the religious trauma and religious imagery BITCH—

[henrysglock]

love that even my mother got the point that henry and patty weren’t an item

[escapefromcamazotz]

“the st writing sucks!!” “omg yes… [idea that’s worse]”

[henrysglock]

recently the henry fandom has been proving why i dont associate with the henry fandom anymore

[henrysglock]

kate trefry: i want the viewers to dissect these intricate, complex, and morally obfuscated relationships

the viewers: lalalalala playing with my “boy and girl must be in perfect romantic relationship with no problems ever” dolls and the antagonist is pure evil with no nuance so we don’t play with that doll and in fact we beat everyone who does play with him to death with rocks 🫶🏻 lalalalalala

[wheelercore]

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about a theory and then I remember we're never gonna fucking find out

[midnightcreel]

don’t ask me what happened in this episode i do not know

[henrysglock]

remember when we all deluded ourselves into believing the duffers had something halfway decent planned for henry’s arc. golden days fr

[henrysglock]

i still can’t believe that NONE of the characters except brenner ever knew the truth about what happened to the creel family. that’s crazy to me. like…what do you mean no one ever knew that henry wasn’t responsible for that. um.

[tenthprinceofhell]

the duffer brothers saying in a new interview that mileven is the “gold standard for romance”… ross baby this is why you’re divorced
