@mindflamer I fell down 8:15 rabbit hole and rewatched the scene where that track plays and OMG, these goddamn signals!!!!!!!
[lightning crackling] *electricity*
[rhythmic knocking]
[door unlocks]
— Hey, what’d we talk about?
— No signal.
— What?
— No signal. It’s 8 1 5. You’re late.
— Yeah, I lost track of time. I’ll signal next time, all right? Uh, and it’s 8:15. It’s not 8 1 5.
— Eight-fifteen.
— Now, what did we talk about? Dinner first, then dessert. Always. That’s a rule. Yeah?
— Yes.
Smth smth lightning/electricity…unlocking doors…signals…being late…dinner first, then dessert…Mike in his beanie in the Upside Down…BADA-BADA-BOOM!
Dustin’s “BOOM!” being said in front of Skull Rock, which is a popular make-out spot…located near Lovers Lake. x (while he’s wearing a ⚡️THINKING CAP⚡️)!!!!!!!
— It's like before it's gonna storm, you know? You can't see it, but you can feel it, like this, uh... Electricity, you know?
— Oh, you mean like in the electromagnetic field when the clouds in the atmosphere...
— No, no, no, no, no. Like a... Like a sexual electricity. You feel that, and then you make your move.
— So that's when you kiss her?
What really happened to Will when he vanished...
I don't have all the details here but... a lot of this is starting to connect.
Will enters the U.S. Department of Energy.
He falls off his bike. Wheel stops turning (indicating time coming to a halt).
He rushes through a spooky forest (creepy trees... I'll touch on that topic later) into his home. Mom and Jonathan aren't there. He tries to call the police but the Demogorgon scares him into doing so.
He rushes toward the shed.
(The association between a shed and a bomb for context).
This "Little Boy" loads a gun.
Little Boy was a gun-type atomic bomb that was the first nuclear weapon used in warfare.
He comes face to face with a light (the truth). It begins shining brighter and brighter...
Likely an explosion occurred right at that moment.
As Will is compared to "Little Boy" here... there's a nuclear fission reaction. This means splitting in two.
Kind of like...
A boy being split into two. Two what you say? Two... personalities?
Perhaps this little girl appeared to take over. To help protect Little Boy from his trauma. She came into the light while he vanished into the darkness. She's the gatekeeper alter (an actual DID alter term...). The one who controls the gate and access to memories...
Thus, he remains in the dark with only "vague" memories.
This bomb going off caused time to stop at exactly 8:15, just like "Little Boy" the atomic bomb did. That atomic bomb caused time pieces to be stuck at 8:15 essentially leaving the city of Hiroshima frozen in time.
It's no wonder Brenner and co wear hazmat suits when investigating the shed. Nuclear fission leaves behind toxic nuclear waste, after all.
More on this topic...
Will Byers, the atomic bomb… (@greenfiend)
8:15 being the time the Hiroshima bomb exploded… (@aemiron-main)
You need two keys for a nuclear bomb… (@pinkeoni)
The 80s being during the Cold War, and the nuclear arms race…
1983 being the year of the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident, the Cannikin happening in November 6th of 1971 (the party’s birth year), Victor “ordered the shelling of an innocent household”, “What do you think's in there?” “Guns, bombs?”, radiationgate, literally all of s3
And the lab + the gates looking eerily similar to an atom.
If my calculations are correct, since Mike left Hawkins at 6:30, that means Mike’s plane landed at around 7:55 in Lenora (Cali time). It takes roughly 15-30 minutes to deplane, which means it’s entirely possible and even likely Mike reunited with the Byers at approximately 8:15…
we've had all these gates and too many not-so-subtle proofs for too long I'm very close to losing it at this point
Time for 8:15gate to combine with conformitygate!!
I'll wait for 8:15 PST or 9:45 PST, then I'll call it a night lol
