Sorry, got a bit silly for a sec! Anyways, I'm not a fan of loverslakegate or churchgate or any of that. I'm a BYLERGATE. I don't give a fuck how it happens. JUST GIVE ME BYLER AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. I'M A SPEEDRUNGATE TRUTHER. SPEEDRUN THAT SHIT.

i don't know if you ever talked about it but what do you think about this picture

it's lowkey haunting me lately

????

I have never seen that before.

Ohhhhh wait

Look at the background. Motelgate.

(The theory going around some years ago of the cali gang (+El) having stayed at a motel, on their journey back to Hawkins, because of some bts pictures )

Sure the rooms looks different, but idk what else it can be but the motel set (set they’ve never used). Maybe it was just the actors staying there between scenes, sure, or maybe is them having prerecorded scenes that weren’t even gonna appear in s4, but maybe we’ll see them in s5 (or at least, they’ll share it eventually as scenes they decided not to use). It’s not the only time they’ve done this, I mean, WHY is Noah at the rink with his van outfit? And WHY is his body double there too, wearing a different outfit? There was no reason. Unless…

What trips me is the different outfit. We have never seen that shirt before. (It’s horrible, btw. It’s so ugly, Will, you can do better).

I guess maybe the motel left them some clothes? Well, they used the shirts Will had in his backpack to soak up the agent’s blood (I think). Maybe he was able to clean them there and finally change clothes? Idk, I think he stayed in those musty clothes until the last ep, but we can hope.

Oh wait would you look at that

Long sleeves. Reminds me of…

I think it looks more like the s5 undershirt, no? The s4 one is fully grey, the s5 one looks like beige

I’m not saying it could be Will remembering motelgate/having a vision and being forced to remember motelgate while wearing that outfit (although it doesn’t look like the style of his s5 outfits. Unless he’s wearing it specifically for the vision, like the shirt is so grey and devoid of colour… idk), but I’m not not saying that.

I don’t think this is just Noah staying at a motel between the scenes, because that outfit is just so s4 Will and not like what he wears, so if he’s dressed like that it’s for a reason

Woke up thinking about motelgate and the things that could have been….

[castlebylers7]

i wonder what happened during the time skip at s4 e9. like motelgate whereee aree youuuu (or did they really drive for 2 days in a smelly ass van, poor el)

the missing st4 scene

noah wore his st4 finale/volume 2 flannel in the roller rink (whereas the actual fit he wore in the show was blue flannel)

also!!! lonnie's actor (will's abusive dad) was stated to have been in the st4 table read

AND!!!! noah keeps bringing up his past as an important part of st5 and has also brought up his abuse father!!

[mindflamer]
