i just wanna start off by saying that this isnt a pro mileven rant, not a pro monologue tag, definitly not me saying that i think el and maxs relationship doesnt need more developement or ANYTHING LIKE THAT okay so if u are gonna feel like arguing just know that ill block u bc i really dont feel like arguing abt this
the take that saving max should be enough motivation for el makes me so sad. like obviously she wants to. but shes been thru literal hell and back and shes so exhausted.
can we do a recap? her dad dies. she needs to move away from everything she knows and has been learning to know for the past couple of years. she feels like a weirdo in this new place. she feels like her bf doesnt love her because he doesnt use words to show it and els used to being loved thru words only because thatsthe only way people loved her for most of her life becuase nobody every cared abt her enough to do anything else. now apart from this emotional stuff shes got going on, her already feeling like shit abt herself, this literal kid has once again the pressure to save everyone and everything. she goes back to being the lab subject she so badly fought to stop being, not to mention the man that made her life hell is there, watching it all and she needs to trust him fully. she goes thru seeing and reliving her awful childhood, when even people like her though she was a freak. she trusts henry, shes happy to know hes like her and they understand each other. only to realize hes the cause of all of the bad shit that has happened since she left the lab. but she still blames herself because shes the one who opened the gate in the first place. so basically all of her wounds reopened and her life is going to shit and everyone and everything she loves is in danger. and she now needs to save max. what the fuck is she suppoed to do?? theres this 15 year old girl who feels like and unlovable monster who is the cause of everything and anything bad. and now??? the life of her best friend???? is directly on her hands????
why is it so bad for her to need verbal confirmation that shes loved unconditionally, that shes strong, that she can do this, that shes not a monster? maybe you didnt like the monologue itself. maybe you dont like mileven. whatever. you can not like either. but going as far as saying that it was unecesary for her to recieve those kind of words?
not to point out again, that el has gained her strength from anger so far. this time, her strength is coming from love. shes fighting not out of spite, not out of repressed feelings, but out of love, out of wanting to be a superhero because she feels like living and loving.
idk people disliking that just makes me so sad.

imagine one night when el & max are having a sleepover, max looks at the clock and says "it's 11:11!!" and el is like "yes? i am here" visibly confused with the little confused look she does and they sit there for a second just staring at each other until max giggles and explains what 11:11 is to el. then one day all the party is together hanging out in the wheelers basement, el gets up off the couch, excitedly exclaims out of nowhere "it is me me time!! you need to make a wish everyone!!!" and everyone is just like ???? until mike is like "what are you talking about?!" with his hands thrown up in the air and max facepalming. then el is like "it is time to make a wish. 11:11? do you know it?" and everyone ahhhs in realization while max just sits there facepalming, her face as red as a tomato before she gently pulls el's arm to have her sit back down next to her. then el is sitting there confused looking around, then whispering to whispering to max "did i say something wrong?" and max whispers back "no, no. everyone is just... boring. that's all." and el ahhs in acknowledgement, going back to sitting shoulder to shoulder with max as if nothing happened.
(after that, wherever el is, she always checks if it's 11:11. when it is, each time she says "it is me me time!! make a wish everyone!!")

I’m sorry but-
How tf is El not already an independent individual who can make her own decisions. Yeah she might not know much when she met Mike but that doesn’t negate the way she feels for him even when she couldn’t put her feelings into words yet. She’s not stupid evidently.
So can other shippers stop claiming she can’t be in a relationship because of her limited knowledge of love?? She can be in a healthy relationship with Mike because she feels happy with him. Why take that away just to promote other ships and claim that she will be better alone. Like she wasn’t separated from him enough times in the fucking show.
She is happy and in love with him.
Let. It. Go.

One of the most common misconceptions about ST is that Hopper is the one who started the whole ‘leave the door open 3 inches’ thing as an overprotective father. When in reality… it was Mike, the boy who is constantly paralleled to said overprotective father…

Upsidedown 10 Dimensions Theory
Okay, with the recent flood of dimension/time travel theories following Stranger Thing’s references to A Wrinkle in Time, Interstellar, Arrival, etc, (espec w/ @will80sbyers theories which are super interesting so GO READ THEM), I decided to toss my hat into the ring.
What if the Upsidedown as we see it—the one that mirrors Hawkins, the one that’s “stuck” on November 6th, 1983—isn’t just an “alternate dimension,” but another timeline? A timeline where November 6th was the day that everything was destroyed?
youtube
^ This video was my first introduction to dimensions, time travel, dimensional travel, etc. Perhaps there’s a better video breaking it down out there, but this video has shaped my understanding of the dimensions.
If you don’t want to watch the video, here’s a mildly-butchered explanation of the relevant dimensions.
3rd Dimension—*our* dimension, the one we all exist within, which has length, width, and depth
4th Dimension—Time, think of it as *our* Timeline
5th Dimension—Multiple Timelines
6th Dimension—dimension above the fifth
I don’t really have a good way to explain the 6th dimension, and I do recommend watching the video—I’ll probably be consuming more dimension-related explanations to get a better grasp on the concepts, but here’s the basics.
To travel through a dimension, you fold the dimension above it.
The travel through the 3rd dimension, for example, you’d fold the 4th dimension, Time. But folding time, you could travel throughout space instantaneously—in no time at all.
If you want to travel through Time—specifically, *our* timeline, you’d fold the 5th dimension (Timelines, plural).
If you wanted to travel throughout Timelines (the 5th dimension)—alternate “universes” where things are ever so slightly different, where perhaps you have brown eyes instead of green, or you got a promotion instead of getting fired (or, on a grander scale, the dinosaurs never went extinct)—you’d have to fold the 6th dimension, because you’re trying to travel throughout the 5th dimension.
So… after I reviewed how dimension/dimensional travel/time travel could theoretically work (assuming stranger things chooses semi-realism), one thing was bothering me—which dimension is El folding when she creates portals to the upsidedown? And which exactly *is* the upsidedown, anyway?
If El was folding the 4th dimension, Time, then the Upsidedown would have to be a physical location in space, in our universe. Another planet, maybe, or something like it. But why would another planet mirror Hawkins exactly? Could Venca/Henry have transformed the planet to match Hawkins?
If so, why?? And why have the upsidedown exactly resemble Hawkins on November 6th, even though time hasn’t ACTUALLY stopped flowing in the Upsidedown?
Because we know time isn’t actually flowing differently in the Upsidedown and the Rightsideup. If it was flowing at a different rate, for example, Nancy and the Hawkins crew wouldn’t have been able to coordinate their attack against Venca, because time wouldn’t have been moving properly for the crew in the Upsidedown.
Not to mention, we know that the place El banished Henry to didn’t look like the Upsidedown.
This is where Henry landed:
youtube
This is the Upsidedown Will & El see:
youtube
So, what gives?
From the beginning of Stranger Things, when Mr. Clarke broke was explaining theoretical science to the boys after Will’s funeral in Season 1, these alternate locations were framed as “universes.” Mr. Clarke talks about multiple worlds, infinite variations on one another. What he’s describing sounds an awful lot like the multiple timelines that exist in the 5th dimension.
(Here’s a link to Mr. Clarke if you wanna rewatch that for reference:
youtube
His explanation is obviously crafted to fit the show, especially with the talk of “tears” and “gates,” but it matches up.)
So. The Upsidedown could be an alternate universe, a variation on our own. Aka another timeline.
If it is another timeline, then that means El and Henry’ve been folding the 6th dimension when they create their doorways.
(Theoretically they—or another character like Will—could learn to fold the 4th and 5th dimensions, to teleport and time travel, but that’s a different conversation).
If the Upsidedown is this other universe, other timeline, why is it how it is? And how did it transform from the “realm” Henry was banished to, into a warped mirror of hawkins?
Well, what if the realm Henry was banished to wasn’t the upsidedown at all?
From here on out, we’ll be calling the realm El sent Henry to after the Hawkins Lab Massacre “Henry’s Realm,” because Henry refers to it as a realm in his monologue to El & it simplifies things.
So, in the very first video I linked, the narrator says that by traveling back in time—ie folding the 5th dimension to travel through the 4th—a person can create a new branch/timeline.
Well, if something as simple as bending the 5th dimension can result in a new timeline, what about someone making a gate through the 6th dimension?
Essentially, my theory is that the upsidedown is an alternate timeline of Hawkins—one that potentially deviated from the timeline our heroes are in (the Rightsideup) on November 6th, 1983.
Here’s how I think it could have happened:
El makes contact with the demogorgon, and, as a result, Henry
A gate starts to open between the Rightsideup and Henry’s Realm because of this mind-contact
The process of opening a gate via bending the 6th dimension creates a deviation in the rightsideup’s timeline (if you watched the video with Mr. Clarke, imagine his paper plate being folded in half, and then one half of the paper plate being folded again—now, when the pencil tears a gate through the plate, there are three holes)
There now exists a gate between Henry’s Realm and this deviated timeline, as well as the deviated timeline and the Rightsideup
Due to the direct connection to Henry’s Realm (unlike the rightsideup) this deviated timeline experiences an immediate influx of toxic chemicals & vine growth that rapidly shape the terrain (killing all human life & most other organic life, as well, but leaving things such as Nancy’s journal behind). This results in the rapid creation of the upsidedown
Henry sends a single demogorgon through to explore the newly-created upsidedown (aka the deviated timeline), and has said demogorgon continue on to the rightsideup, to our El, our timeline, and the lab
By the time Will arrives in the upsidedown, the initial chemical reactions that took place and resulted in the destruction/creation of the upsidedown have already occurred. There are other toxic chemicals remaining, but nothing lethal enough to instantly turn Will to ash
El, when she banished the demogorgon at the end of the season, banishes it to Henry’s Realm. This is why it’s not in the upsidedown when she wakes up in the upsidedown.
Okay, that was a lot, and i know it. I also don’t know how clear i was (sorry about that). There are a few reasons I think this makes sense, though.
For one, there’s only the one demogorgon in season one. We don’t see any demodogs, etc., or any evidence of the mindflayer. If the upsidedown was newly created, it makes sense that moving from Henry’s Realm to the Upsidedown would be a process done over time, which is why the shifting colors of the upsidedown (more reds in season 4) & the sudden appearances of demobats make sense, as more and more of Henry’s Realm’s creatures shift dimensions.
We saw the way the clouds in season four rotted organic material, and the way Jason practically dissolved.
youtube
youtube
Both times, the dissolving happened very rapidly.
Then again, the upsidedown could be an alternate timeline without being an alternate timeline directly created by the opening of the gate on November 6th. Maybe it’s a mystery, how it became what it is now—all they know is that something happened in that timeline’s November 6th, and that until that point, the timeline was similar enough to our own for Nancy’s journal entries to be exactly the same.
Either way, i love the idea of the upsidedown being the sight of… well, not a natural disaster, exactly, but you get the idea. Like, hey, that journal belonged to a version of Nancy who’s dead now, along with alternate timeline versions of everyone we know and love plus the entire rest of the world, and it’s very likely we could see a similar destruction of our timeline if we don’t stop Venca/prevent more of these toxins from entering via the gates.
Not to mention the idea that, hey, Venca was banished to an alternate timeline, will we have to deal with alternate timeline versions of him? Does everything we do every trigger an alternate timeline? Is an alternate timeline created every time El opens a gate?
Basically, playing more with time and space and reality.
Idk if i explained this clearly enough, but i’m having a lot of fun with this concept! If anyone has any similar/alternate thoughts, or reasons they think this couldn’t work, please share!! I love talking ab this stuff lol.
(Edit: @givehimthemedicine bc ik you do a lot of how-the-upsidedown-works theorizing lol)
