Remember how the duffers said that S3 was when they initially came up with the idea of Vecna?
“The week is long” — In S1, Will is found A WEEK after his disappearance. The whole S1 spans a week long. This could also be interpreted the week right now, Jan 1st > Jan 7th (A week long between the finale and the announcement Netflix made)
“the silver cat feeds” —
In the periodic table, SILVER’s atomic number is 47. We can interpret this number either separately on as a whole,
4 — 4 gates, 4 victims, 4 chimes, 4 horsemen
7 — “It was a seven. The demogorgon, it got me.”
11 — El’s character
2 — Rightside Up and the Upside Down
4th Chakra — Mike is referred to as “The Heart of the Party”
7th Chakra — Will is being placed between the Rightside Up and the Abyss,
Now, this is a reach but,
Will’s CONNECTION to the hive mind, to Vecna. The “spiritual realm” is Vecna’s mind. Camazotz. S5 Ep5, Will uses this ability to hijack Vecna’s mind (in Camazotz) and save Max and Holly
We are literally “discovering” the “easter eggs” in S5 (more obvious in the epilogue)
Thessalhydra, a creature Will paints and “A creepy monster with a gaping mouth.” —> The vision Nancy sees, she says this, its heavily theorized to be the Thessalhydra.
We can connect this to the False Hydra, a DND creature.
Memory Wipe — this is basically the base of conformitygate, where Mike/and the audience are being Vecna’d thus stuck in his illusion of a life in conformity. Joyce forgets Will’s age back in S1, saying he’s 11 but in reality he was 12 was he disappeared. Will’s birthday is also seemingly forgotten by everyone in S4.
Hidden Body — In Mike’s basement (epilogue), theres a pizza box titled “PIZZA ONE”, “Piece of One.” A piece of Henry, of Vecna. In one of the bookshelves we see a 3-dimensional shape of a Thessalhydra. 3 dimensions (excluding Upside down as it’s a wormhole) 1.) Rightside up 2.) Dimension X/Abyss 3.) Camazotz (It’s Henry’s mind where El can’t reach)
Growing Heads — Joyce beheads Vecna in the final battle. Who’s to say Vecna’s actually dead? What if, he comes back, this time with 3 more heads?)
Weaknesses — The monster relies on playing a song to alter player’s memories. But in this context, the song is a SAFEGUARD to our character, it helps them ESCAPE Vecna’s grab. At the end of the finale, “Heroes” plays. What if, Will and the others are the cause of this? They’re playing the song to help Mike get out of the trance, to HELP him escape.
“When blue meets yellow in the west.” — This can literally mean MIKE and WILL are the key in defeating Vecna, in a sense help Mike escape,
In the bar scene, an exit sign is placed above Will’s
During the party’s last campaign, Will wears a key necklace. Again, Mike is called “Sometimes, the heart is locked, in a cage (emotions are repressed, who do we see repress their emotions the whole season?) Now, what do we do to open a lock door? A key. Will is, the key to opening Mike up, to help him escape the illusion, he’s Mike’s exit.
