Knowing what we know now about Vecna, you HAVE to admit that Billy was an absolute badass for looking this thing dead in the eye and going FACE TO FACE with it. He must've been so scared, and Vecna called him weak and fragile. But that's Henry's ego talking. He put down El too when she refused to join him. Billy was powerful in this moment. With a little help from El, he was able to break Vecna's mind control and stand up to him. A measly human, with LITERALLY NO IDEA of what exactly he was facing. (Eddie and Robin were still brought into the fold and had an idea of what was going on.)

And for that, I say rock on Billy Hargrove. You're a hero too. You saved lives too.

Okay, so, here's everything I've heard about the Eddie Munson/Kas theory:

First of all, if you don't know who Kas is, basically he's a character from Dungeons & Dragons who's half-human, half-vampire, and there's a theory that Eddie will essentially become Kas in season five of Stranger Things.

Quick warning: Spoilers for season four of Stranger Things. Also this is a long post, so hold onto your butts, brochachos.

-

'Kay, so we all know that Eddie dies at the end of season four. Yes, I cried too, don't worry. But, thankfully, there's a theory that he could come back, and I personally think it makes a LOT of sense. Here's everything I've heard about it. If you have anything to add, or you actually know things about D&D unlike yours truly and would like to correct my information, please let me know.

First of all, let's look at how Eddie actually kicks the bucket. He's eaten by bats. Kas is also eaten by bats, later becoming a vampire. Eddie also has a tattoo on his arm that depicts a swarm of bats, and while I doubt Eddie would become a vampire in the literal sense (this isn't Riverdale), bats are obviously directly related to vampires. What are vampires? They're undead creatures.

One of the weapons Kas is known for using is his shield, which has spikes in it. As we all know, Eddie also uses a makeshift "shield" with spikes, AKA a garbage can lid with nails hammered through it. Still serves the same purpose.

Let's look at how exactly they'd explain how Eddie is miraculously alive. In D&D, Kas is basically Vecna's right-hand man, but he later turns on Vecna and defeats him. Our Stranger Things version of Vecna has the same powers as El, and we saw El bring Max (or her body, at the very least) back to life. If El can do this, so can Vecna, meaning he could revive Eddie. As far as we, the audience, know due to the two-day jump soon after his death, Eddie's body is still in the Upside Down, and thanks to Will we know that Vecna is still alive, though in pain. The question now is, what motive would Vecna have for reviving Eddie? Well, not only do we know Vecna is able to bring people back to life, but he is also able to control people's minds, as we saw with Billy and Heather in season three, which brings me to my next point.

If Vecna were to revive Eddie and take control of his mind, perhaps to get close to the kids in Hawkins as a spy of sorts or for another reason entirely, this would essentially make Eddie Vecna's puppet. How is this relevant, I hear you asking. Well, see, random person on the internet, if you were not already aware (which you probably were, but anyway), the song Eddie plays on top of the trailer to distract the demobats is Metallica's "Master of Puppets." Not only this, but one of Eddie's many glorious tattoos is literally a puppet. The writers could make him a servant of Vecna, a human puppet, completely under Vecna's control, until he's snapped back to reality with the power of friendship or something and defeats Vecna once and for all.

Or not for all, but I'll get to that in a minute.

We all remember this wonderful scene:

Look a little closer: the cassette in his hand is Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden has a mascot. What is that mascot? Some kind of weird undead creature thing. What is the name of this strange being? Eddie. I'm not kidding, its name is literally Eddie. Google it if you don't believe me.

Now, as for what I said about Eddie defeating Vecna once and for all not actually being once and for all. Let's all take a moment and think back to the very first episode of season four, shall we? Specifically, the Hellfire Club meeting, in which Erica plays in her brother's place. You all know the scene I'm talking about, now let's think about it.

First of all, from what I remember, this is the only scene in the whole show where Kas is mentioned by name, when it is revealed that Vecna is actually not dead like they thought he was and Mike shouts, "Vecna was killed by Kas!"

"So it was thought, my friends, so it was thought," Eddie replies, shaking his head. "But Vecna lives."

Okay. So Vecna was killed by Kas. Vecna is now back, apparently not dead. I assure you this is not just D&D lore unrelated to the point of this post, because trust me, dear reader, there is more to this scene worth mentioning.

The club has chosen to fight. Now, almost everyone has been defeated, except for Dustin and Erica. The two living players now face a choice: Do they surrender, or do they fight? They choose to fight, with Dustin putting things ever so eloquently: "Screw it. Let's kill this son of a bitch."

Now, in order to defeat Vecna, a 20 must be rolled. Dustin rolls first. Not only does he not roll a 20, but the number that he rolls is 11. Where have we heard that before, hmm?

Now Erica rolls. She rolls a 20 and delivers a critical hit, killing Vecna, while her benchwarming brother over in the gym simultaneously scores a winning buzzer-beater in his basketball tournament. It's a victory for the nerds and the jocks, who would'a thunk it?

Now, here's the idea:

They thought Vecna was dead, having been killed by Nancy, Steve, and Robin and falling from the Upside Down version of Creel House. But here he is, clearly living. Eleven is the last hope for defeating him. She's so close to taking Vecna down once and for all, putting him and everyone else out of their misery. But Vecna is too strong, and overpowers her, and she fails.

Here's Eddie, unwillingly loyal to the beast who indirectly caused his death. He's an undead puppet, his brain under Vecna's control. But something snaps. Like Vecna himself says: "He thought about something that made him sad, but also angry." We already know full well that Eddie has many memories like that, as most people do. That's where Vecna and El find their power, and whether Eddie has powers or not, that could be a source of his strength as well, to bring Vecna down and put an end to everyone's suffering.

Also, there is one more small detail which could point to Eddie not actually being dead. There is a song that the Stranger Things fandom knows as the "fake death" song, as it is used both when Will is presumed dead in season one and when Hopper nearly dies in season three. This song is "Heroes" by David Bowie. However, the song that plays when Eddie dies (I can't remember the title and I can't find it online) is also the song used at the end of season one when El "dies." Coincidence? I think not.

By the way, before you reuse the argument that the Duffers said that Eddie is "one-hundred percent dead" in an interview, might I remind you that there was once a time when both Martin Brenner and Jim Hopper were "one-hundred percent dead" as well? As they are clearly not, my point still stands. Also, it wouldn't make sense for the Duffer Brothers to say, "Well, actually, Eddie's alive," because what sense is there in spoiling what would be a major plot twist in season five before you've even started writing it? They've also said Eddie's death will play an important role in the fifth season, and I doubt they'd be saying that if all the characters did was sit around and think about all the times they had together. Which, for most of the characters, was no time. Plus, Eddie can't be dead—this man hasn't had a chance to meet Will, Argyle, or Suzie yet, and you know he'd love them.

But, hey, we won't know until season five, so until then, all we can really do is wait impatiently and hope for the best.

Anyway, if you actually read this far, you might as well follow me. If you want to, that is, but no pressure. Also, remember to sign this petition to hopefully convince the Duffers to bring Eddie back if you also think our boy was wrongly killed and deserves an epic return.

LATE NIGHTS - EDDIE MUNSON X READER.

you're eddie munsons bestfriend, but maybe you wanted to be more?

just something short and sweet, no warnings for this just fluff and a hint of flirting.

Being Eddie's bestfriend came with its perks, learning great songs and artists, having someone you could be yourself around, and best of all the things he would show you.

Eddie Munson was known as a 'freak' or a 'weirdo' but he was so much more. Close friends of Eddie knew he was great at finding the best hang spots ever.

If there was an obscene park not many people knew about Eddie was one of those people. Spots around the trailer park? He knew about them.

There was one view that was most special of all, a spot just for you and Eddie.

"Hey Y/n!" Eddie smiled at you and waved, bringing you back to your senses. "Oh hey Eds...!" You blinked a couple times shaking your head.

"What are you doing outside my trailer though?" He pointed behind him referencing his uncles trailer that was parked behind you.

"Oh yeah that... I was just waiting for you to come back from DND, looks like today was a long one huh?" You chuckled dryly.

"Yeah, it was a bunch of fun though! But hey while you're here we should head to our spot.." He gave you a small smile and grabbed your hand.

"Oh- that's actually why I was outside your trailer!" You yelled while following behind him.

He didn't say anything in response, he just continued to run in the direction of Hawkins National Park.

------------------------------------------------------------

Once you guys arrived Eddie grabbed your hand once more, pulling you across the bridge and leading you to a cut in the tress just big enough for you guys to walk through.

You swatted the branches out of your face with your free hand, wincing when one bounced back and hit you in your face.

"Shit!- ow!" You muttered under your breath, rubbing the bridge of your nose where you had been hit, feeling a small cut but nothing too serious.

Eddie finally let go of your hand when you reached the clearing in the middle of the forest, the only thing there was a few tree stumps and a campfire pit, (props to Eddie.) Along with a small pond that held things like frogs and sometimes geese.

"So whaddya wanna do while we're here," Eddie pulled out a match from the cooler he kept here incase him and his uncle fought and he had to camp out for awhile.

You sat on the stump next to him admiring his features.

"Take a picture it'll last longer sweet cheeks." Eddie laughed at you as you hid your face in the hoodie you were wearing.

"Hey.. Eddie y'know how you just graduated and all plus the few summer DND campaigns have made you pretty busy..?"

"Oh- Yea why?" He asked while opening a can of spaghetti-o's you can only imagine he also kept in the cooler.

"Well.. I'm 20 now and I'm going off to college soon and there's been something I've wanted to tell you but I just couldn't find the time." You fiddle with your fingers nervously staring at the ground.

"You can tell me anything you know that right Y/n?" He grabbed your chin, forcing you to look up at him as he stared in your eyes looking concerned.

"Don't tell me you're dying or something-" You snickered at the accusation he had made, making him laugh too.

"No, no of course not Eds.. I just like you a lot and I thought you should know before I left!" You bit your bottom lip nervously anxious to what he would say.

Eddie sat there looking dumbfounded, a slight blush on his pale cheeks.

"I.. I like you too Y/n." He smiled sweetly at you, standing up and pulling you with him.

"Is it okay if I-" you cut him off by placing a small peck on his lips, smiling at him.

He kissed you again, harder this time wrapping his arms around your waist and lifting you into the air.

"Eddie put me down!" You laughed kicking your feet.

"I can't princess, you deserve only the best!" He placed you down gently cupping your cheeks and kissing you one more time.

"Now I gotta make sure my spaghetti-o's don't burn gimme a sec."

------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you guys enjoyed! I'm new to tumblr so I'm not sure how a lot of this works but hello!!

Spoilers for Stranger Things

Finally watched Stranger Things season 4 and well this old girl is officially depressed. I should learn never care for anyone on that show. I cried so much and now want to hug Dustin.

This means I'm drawing so much happy art when I can. I’ll be off to find fix it fic right now. Any recs?

Also, hello to all my new followers. It’s cheered me up somewhat to see how lovely you’ve all been about my art. If anyone has any ideas they’d like to see me tackle I’m all ears. I need the distraction from thinking too much about things. Maybe some good old H/C art of Dustins two dads.

I’m still crying!!!!

Yeah, this shit isn't just a coincidence. Or some cool visual foreshadowing by the writers.

Vecna was MOST present in Season 3 and Billy was his main vessel. Vecna uses people's grief in order to either kill or control them, so it's fair to say that Billy had dealt with some pretty traumatic shit & it was bad enough that it fueled Vecna for that long. It took El going into his happy memories (which were when he was a literal child btw), to wake him up and fight against the Mind Flayer.

And he did. In the end he stood face to face with Vecna's most powerful pet, and won. He won over his grief and his trauma and apologized to Max. If he'd lived, I'm sure he would've tried to become a better person. It's just tragic that we won't ever get to see that happen.

(P.S. it's okay if you think Billy is a flawed (racist) character. It's completely okay to consider both the merits & demerits of fictional characters. Just don't spread hate & attack people posting about it. That doesn't make you somehow morally better than people who post this kind of content. We all agree that Billy antagonising Lucas had racial undertones to it & we can all deduce that it stems from his clearly abusive, military-esque, borderline-conservative father. So if you're going to comment about Billy being racist, at least have a nuanced & informed take on it & not just "Billy bad man cos Billy racist.")

i keep thinking about hopper coming home from Russia and asking all the kids to catch him up on what he missed…

once they get to the whole Vecna of it all, Dustin says “yeah and then Eddie Munson saved the whole town”. and Hopper just says “wait wait wait. did you just say Eddie Munson? like drug dealer Eddie Munson? the kid that’s almost been in my cuffs several times? the one that’s supposedly in a satanic cult? THAT EDDIE MUNSON…? ummm… saved the town?😵” and they’re all just like “yep” and he’s just like “okay”

#stranger things 4 #stranger things #eddie munson #edward munson #hopper #jim hopper #this is what should’ve happened #duffer brothers you suck #if you refuse to have eddie in S5 at least give me closure #i need some kind of mention or remberance of him #EDDIE MUNSON IS A HERO

I say this with all the love in my heart for Kas/Vamp Eddie —

But it makes more sense to depict Eleven as Kas the Vampire than to say Eddie will ever become him.

Stranger Things has always played loose with the D&D lore, but by confirming in the campaign Eddie made that “Kas killed Vecna” we are establishing that the lore surrounding Vecna and Kas should be considered accurate in that world.

That lore states (loosely) that Kas and Vecna worked WITH each other before Kas betrayed and killed him.

And we can also assume that since the campaigns being played during the episodes (both in s1 and s4) take place as if the characters themselves have to fight in the “real world” where they left off in said campaign— that means Vecna had ALREADY DIED in "real world” mentality.

So, when we see that Henry had trusted El, sought out her help, received said help, then was BETRAYED by her, and even thought to have been dead— it mirrors perfectly over Kas and Vecna’s lore.

((That being said, you can pull Eddie as Kas/Vampire fanfiction/art outta my cold dead hands.))

Wayne knows something big must have happened. Well, he knew objectively that it was big, Eddie spent a couple of weeks in the hospital and half the town fell into a trench, so yeah, Wayne was aware. But it wasn't until Wayne saw that Eddie was suddenly hanging out with a girl called Nancy, pretty and clever and even to Wayne's untrained eye 'a cool kid' that Wayne knew the world had shifted when he wasn't looking.

Eddie had never had friends, not really, and the friends he did have were brought together by that godawful music he likes and roleplay games (yes, Wayne knows what that is, he does listen when Eddie speaks). So, Eddie's never had much in the way of what you'd call social standing, not in the pecking order of the local high school at least.

This thought may have occured to Wayne at the sight of Nancy, but it was driven home by the sight of the Harrington boy coming through the front door of the New Trailer. Even Wayne knows who the Harrington boy is, and Wayne knows he basically lives under a rock. Eddie's told him enough times.

Eddie mumbles something about a shower and a quick change and Harrington looks twelve shades of uncomfortable as Eddie abandons the poor kid in their lounge. Wayne is absolutely certain nothing about the New Trailer is up to the standards the Harrington boy is familiar with.

Still, he's just a kid, and When Wayne indicates the couch next to his recliner, the kid sits gingerly and they both get to the job of ignoring one another.

Until theres a bad fowl, the ref makes a shitty call, and the Harrington kid makes a noise in the back of his throat that Wayne can't help but echo. "Shitty," Wayne comments passively.

Steve hums agreeable, and then says, "he was having a good run, too".

"Yeap, seasons just warming though."

And then Steve says something, and Wayne answers, and before he really knows what's happening he's having an in depth discussion with the Harrington kid who looks, if anything, equally enraptured, if the way he's leaning forward on the couch is anything to go by.

Eddie isn't at all interested in sports, but the Harrington kid sure as hell is and Wayne quickly discovers that it doesn't matter if it's baseball, football, or basketball, the kid is all over it. He's even started twittering about the Olympics.

Wayne can't help himself, he's not had anyone to talk to like this for a long time, not outside of his very occasional visits to the local bar, and before he knows what's happening the Harrington boy is now Steve and he's swinging by on Saturday afternoon to watch the game.

Eddie stands in the hallway, shocked and appalled, "I leave you alone for ten minutes..."
