And I got pissed when I heard this song bc I know that it was used for byler WSQK sync… maybe it’s not a bad sign, but I got irritated regardless lol

(sync by @wsqksync)

upd. figured that it was used in a byler coded scene 😅

[nightnut]

since when??

this mage stuff is pure s5 thing, and El never played in s3, and even Mike didn’t want to play it, and here they want both? That even the core 4 (or 5 with Max, but she at least said she would join just for one game) “can’t play” without El? Fr?🤭

and it’s Will again starting a convo about El with Mike (even though Mike is depicted as obsessed with El in tales, it’s still canon that it’s Will who always initiates this conversations)

[nightnut]

another proof of chronological fuckery

El got pissed about being treated as “Mike’s pet” only in s3 after Max said that he does. Before El worried only bc of Hopper not letting her out.

She literally “dumped Mike’s ass” right after she realised that he doesn’t treat her the way she wants. So wtf are we doing here, filming s5 vol4 or what is happening otherwise 🌚

[nightnut]

he can’t even write it

he can’t say it even in tales 👀🌚

I wonder what she knows if the first (and only) time she hears it is in s3 and that’s new for her

(another example of it being not real, bc it doesn’t work logically and chronologically)

Fangate is a sign of Hawkins Lab

ever since I noticed the fans in 5x08, they have been haunting me, feeding my theory that any fan we see indicates the Lab. My collection was a bit chaotic, and I wanted to find the majority of them to share, but today I found a detail in s2 (from my another theory) which collided with this one, lwk confirming each other (and basically being one more (two more?) confirmation of govtgate).

Tales continues the story after 5x08: I haven't noticed before, but now checking the screenshots I took after I discovered fangate, I found shots with fans in two specific situations: in scenes with Nikki (at school and in her garage) and in Hopper's house. Hopper's house is even too sus bc Idk any living human being who needs that many fans.

he has it in the bathroom, and in El's room, in his bedroom and in the living room.

his bedroom is specifically important as a shot with Will is constucted very suspiciously framing his head with that fan

now there’s at least one fan in my collection that has nothing to do with Hop’s cabin, and I have a lot to rewatch to check where else they could be found; so I’m not saying they are seen just in those two “situations”, athough these two seem important; however, that one introduces us to El and her powers right after she escaped from the Lab, so, maybe I wouldn't dismiss it too soon either 👇

In general, I’d say that fans is a very specific thing to draw (like crates found all over Tales). Someone made a decision that those fans are needed there for some reason… but even aside from the cartoon, I still wonder why they were chosen if not to symbolise something, bc, like, idk about you, but it would be probably one of the last things I’d remember to add on set as decoration.

Also will you be surprised if I say that The Boroughs has not disappointed me with this cg cue either?

and, as if it wasn't enough, today I found one more thing that's motivated me to share it sooner:

One more NO TRESPASSING sign. The sign, shown after a shot with Hopper with a fan behind his back. The sign we’ve seen only in two places so far, which most likely indicates that everything marked with it is a lab territory.

somehow two seemingly unrelated theories based on the very first and the very last episodes have matched to confirm govtgate one more time.

and don’t miss fans from The Boroughs in the next post!

what in illusionary s3 milkvan is happening here?

Also did you notice their tendency to say “it’s been 10 years”?? (Caleb, I’m looking at you)

Like, okay when it happens at Jimmy’s show, and you can kinda round up numbers, it’s what we do too in the fandom. I won’t say it’s that weird… but.

But… no, it’s not? It’s not correct, it hasn’t been ten years, the show, you want me to believe, was over in 2025. 9 years. Even if it’s 9 years and half. But still not ten. And the show was conveniently “over” on the very last day of 2025, when you still can’t round up a year to 2026 and say, no, literally — from 2016 to 2026, 10!

Unless… 🙃

Timegate, glad you visited me once again, long time no see.

It’s interesting that it can sound like a stretch but at the same time like a big coincidence (so what, if they round up the number, who doesn’t, big deal!), but at the same time — for real, the 31st of December is SO ON THE EDGE of them being RIGHT about ten years. But it is not! Stop saying ten, it’s not! IF it is not actually true and not just a figure of speech…

And it’s funny that it can be actual timetravelgate as them being from the future knowing that it will be ten years, and that’s why they use this number everywhere. Because it’s true. Otherwise, you can ofc say whatever, it’s not that deep — but saying endlessly that your show’s been on screen for 10 years when it has not… (Shawn, now I’m looking at you and your taking part in 2016-2026 challenge, ok, which felt weird right away when you posted that) I have an eye twitch bc of that.
