The final season of Stranger Things is coming. You are not prepared.

[do-a-deeer]

STRANGER THINGS TODAY!! EVERYONE PREPARE! 0 DAYS LEFT

What are our theories 😋 I’m guessing Steve Harrington is dying episode 7 if anyone wants to hear the details of that 💔 (yes Ik it’s only volume 1)

[fruitydemogorgon]

Hi, I am Hell Master

waitttt... #flipyourphone #strangerthings4 #strangerthings #fyp #theory #strangerthingstheories

This isn't mine, but I haven't seen anyone mention it on here yet so I thought I'd bring it up.

We know how much the Duffer's love their little details, so I don't think this is a coincidence. And the sentence does make sense;

"Hi, I am hell master"

I am almost certain that this line is referencing/being said by Vecna. This is because of my theory here, which talks about how Vecna could be the 'master' of the Shadow Monster (SM) and Mind Flayer (MF) (Or all things Upside Down (hell) for that matter).

Vecna = Master of the Spider Throne, MF = The Spider Monster, MF + SM = Spider-like appearance, Lucas who is a part of the Vecna plot posted 'Tick-Tock' with a spider emoji beside it.

I elaborate more in the post, however I feel like things are adding up a little too well.

You're not ready to say goodbye.

Byler Confession Song Prediction: "THE FIRST TRUTH"

While the Mike and Will confession is happening, I think a song titled “the First Truth” will play. Oddly specific prediction right? Here’s why:

season 2, episode 6: (timestamp: 8:15)

Murray says this to Jonathan and Nancy at exactly 8:15.

While the Mike and Will confession is happening, I think a song titled “the First Truth” will play, an alternate version of the track: “the first lie”

“The first lie” is what plays when Nancy and Johnathan kiss for the first time, with lights (or rather, electricity) framed behind them in every shot.

But what leads up to this is the Murray call out:

Its no secret that Jancy and Byler parallel each other. It's Byler theory 101, baby. Both groups LIE to themselves (and each other) about their true feelings, by asserting that they are "just friends".

What he says next also applies to Mike

Murray (to Nancy): “You, you’re harder to read. Probably, like everyone, afraid of what would happen if you accepted yourself for who you really are and retreated back to the safety of... Steve. We like Steve. But we don’t love Steve.”

Nancy: “What? No, we- I mean, I-I-I do...”

But at exactly 8:15, Murray tells Jonathan and Nancy that their claim of "friendship" was the "first lie", as they are clearly more than just friends.

Well, On November 6 (the night Will vanishes), the party is forced to end the D&D game early, and Mike's mom eerily points out that it's "fifteen after" while pointing at her watch.

later in the episode, we also find out that Will was supposed to be home by 8:00

Which means that by the time Will left, it was approximately fifteen minutes after eight o'clock. In other words, Eightfifteen.

If the Byler confession, AKA "the first truth" , happens around 8:15 (the time) , this would mirror "the first lie" between Jancy which happens at 8:15 (the timestamp).

And if the song which plays during there confession is called “The First Truth” it would have an insane double meaning. It would refer to both “the first truth” told in the show: (Will telling Mike “it was a 7)

-As well as their confession of love in the upside down (which I believe parallels it).

The upside down, which is frozen at 8:15, on

November 6.

And what do you know, on the stranger things s2 playlist, track number 6 is literally called eightfifteen, followed by track number 7 which is “the first lie”:

In conclusion, “The First Truth” Will happen on November 6 at eight fifteen.

Following "the first truth" confession song (about the Letter and Painting), i think a track titled the "first I Love you will play". This would parallel "The First I love You" (which is a remix of "the first lie") which plays when Mike realizes he's gay after being kissed by eleven while standing in front of an open closet. All the other I titles on the track list are capitalized except for the word "love" on this song specifically. this has to be intentional. The L It's not capitalized because it's familial love between Mike and eleven, not romantic. When "The First I Love You" plays when it’s revealed Mike wrote a letter signed -Love Mike this time the L will be capitalized.

wowza!

tell me i'm crazy, i dare you (i will cry)

ANOTHER TIMESTAMP THEORY?! (Stranger Things/20:00)

I REALLY THINK I'M ON TO SOMETHING HERE. Since i'm SO utterly convinced that Mike needing "20 more minutes" is going to be VERY SIGNIFICANT in season 5 (theory coming soon), I scrubbed through the 20:00 minute mark looking for clues! Here are the most notable instances I found, but feel free to let me know if I missed anything important!

20:00 TIMESTAMPS:

Season 1

s1,e1

scientists enter the upside-down for the first time (however the elevator doesn't open at exactly 20:00, so idk if this one was intentional)

s1ep5:

The flee and the acrobat. The focus on Mike here is interesting, since Mr. Clark was just explaining how the person could go forwards or backwards (in time?). Right at 20 though, he explains that a flea also has the ability to go upside-down (enter another dimension)

s1e8

the flickering lights catch Steve's attention at EXACTLY 20 minutes. This was the pivotal moment when Steve decided to be a hero and turn back to save Jonathan and Nancy. If he was originally supposed to die here, then this would have been the start of a pattern, which you'll see in a second. Also-could this have been Will who got Steve's attention from in the upside down? just a thought

Season 2:

s2e1

"You're going to be home by 8:00"- the time hits 20 minutes EXACTLY when she says the word 8:00. This was the time Will was supposed to be home by on Nov 6, if the party hadn't stayed "15 after". She continues on to say that Jonathan will probably "stay home and listen to The Talking Heads, and read Vonnegut".

I thought that this was weirdly specific, so i looked up the synopsis of Vonnegut's most famous novel "The Slaughterhouse 5", and the BOOK IS ABOUT FREAKING TIME TRAVEL. I'll expand more on the book (here) later bc it's so flipping insane, and there are a few specific aspects that kind of stood out right off the bat. If anyones actually read the book, pls give me your thoughts

s2e5

THIS ONE IS CRAZY

"the answer to what happened to your friend is up here somewhere" Pretend that this is also about Will for a second. WHAT'S ON THE BOARD GUYS? It's a "timeline" which Nancy says is "all wrong". The times listed on the board include 8:15, 7:00, and 3:20!

s2ep8

the broom hits the floor at EXACTLY 20:00. This is what kills Bob, and if you watch the scene it's pretty much undeniable that the timing here was on purpose.

Season 3

s3ep2

Sudden cut to this creepy ass clock. The time reads 12:45.

s3ep3

Will says: "LUCAS, the zombie hoard ROARS." at exactly 20:00. He then asks: "Do you fight back or do you run?" This specific line, as well as the whole scene is most likely foreshadowing. (theory here)

Even MORE interesting though, is what happens next:

Lucas is about to respond, but is interrupted by the phone ringing at EXACTLY 20:07!

s3ep5

"What time was the attack? around 9:00. You waited all night to call?All this focus on time here is pretty sus, and could also relate back to my s3 basement foreshadowing theories bc of the focus on "calling".

(also, the fact that Will's looking directly into the camera here is sus)

s3ep8

Will feels the mind-flayer between 20:00 and 20:07

s3e8

"tune in at 8:00" when -0:21:00 changes to -0:20:59

and then we get a Back To The Future reference at EXACTLY -0:20:00

season 4:

s4, ep4:

The grandfather clock chimes at EXACTLY 20:00, ushering in Max's impending doom

what do you guys think though??? 20gate perhaps?

(I also took screenshots of more potential 8:15 content, via times like -8:15 and 1:8:15 we might have overlooked ( I’ll be posting soon?)

Honorable mentions:

s3e1:

Hopper: “I need them to break up”. Behind him, a bunch of watches are hanging on the wall. Joyce responds with: “that’s not for you to decide”

s3e2:

Billy clone (Vecna) tells Billy:

“I want you to build”

Billy: build what?

Vecna: “what you see”

Billy: I don’t understand

Thunder claps/lightning strikes between them. During this flash of light, (at exactly -20:00), the Billy clone vanishes.
