New action sequence leak outside the radio station

Pretty sure it's Dustin or will yelling Steve to run, but it could also be Jonathan.

One of the paparazzis said this:

And I wanna emphasize on the last one.

So there's actually a high chance this is a new monster, probably very tied to vecna. And since this spieces is one previously human that has bargained for power, than aligns to vecna.

Jamie wasn't filming in that scene so idk if this is actually a new form of vecna or if vecna is now a shape shifter (due to the thessalhydra teasing).

New BTS pics and Mike's arc next season

Ladies and gentlebitches, I saw them legit an hour ago and I'm gonna go insane.

We see him wearing what he could easily wear in s1.

But in s1 he was just a kid, and didn't quite dress himself. I mean, he didn't pick outfits himself and said "oh I like this, imma go wear it". Karen dressed him.

So, we know this type of outfit is Karen's signature.

In result, he didn't choose this outfit. Karen did.

Also the haircut; mike was growing them out to look more like Eddie and right after his death he cut them cus he didn't want to he reminded of him? Nah I don't bite it, mike was repressed this entire time, he wouldn't back off by changing his appearance more to what others would like him to look like.

I think he's grieving Eddie, and I think this single shoot says a lot about his mental health.

Karen in st4 was pushed behind, not knowing who was actually behind those murders and still blaming Eddie for what happened. So, to my mind, she's still blaming hellfire for turning her son like that. She wants to change that, get him back.

He's depressed. Not bc of Eddie, but also bc he's forced to hide himself, especially after what he had witnessed in the previous season.

And here Andy and his other friend from Jason would only do one thing: bully him.

In st4 Jason wasn't just after Eddie, he also wanted to get to Dustin in order to chase and kill Eddie. Bonus; they noticed mike was in hellfire and *swore they'd vanish this "cult" bit by bit.

Aka mike and Dustin won't just go by their day without facing them next season.

Now, considering the possibilities of this scene, we could get a paralel to s1, where troy and Charlie or whatever the fuck his name was bumped into mike and Dustin. Or maybe this is a shot moments before disaster, idk.

Some people also said this could also paralel the lover's lake scene and the cliff...

More stuff about a certain Jason scene and the cops here.

The Rink-o-mania scene was foreshadowing stuff in s5 and it has to do with an attack El will deal with

At the rink o mania scene, Angela drags her down to the roller rink, and the bullies surround her and start mocking her. Then, that dude throws milkshake at her and she falls. That could be foreshadowing a fight in s5, lemme demonstrate.

Now, don't demobats also fly in circles when they want to attack? Yes, they do. We saw that right before eddies death, as he was fighting them.

Let's say the bullies are demobats.

Something drags El into the battlefield, she's clueless atm (just like with Angela) but then a bunch of demobats distract her. Why? Because everything is connected to vecna in the ud, and Vecna knows El would be there

Now, the milkshake could also forshadow demogorgon venom (?) Idk. But it seems like after that, els gonna get spayed with it.

As they surround her, she first falls, looses control but then remembers what happened in s4, and probs how she hit Angela with the skate and she tries to defeat the bats.

Probably.

Plus, before that, El and will argued about her lying to Mike. Lately I've been thinking and I found many clues that he could be a villain (including this one). In the roller rink he is seen alone, after the mileven happy scene, that could easily be used in a villain arc idk.

And what if willel also argue in s5? What if a possessed will drags El down to the battlefield to get her attacked? What if the whole bully scene was just to help El fight the bats or any other creature?

Adding to this, we know part of the hive mind got trapped in a demogorgon in the Russian plot What if that also happens in s5?

(this was a theory I posted on 29th of October 2022 on tweeter... Been two years since then I can't believe it 😭)

Possible ep titles for s5...

Ep 2 is most likely holy to paralel will in s1.

Ep 4 is def will having powers like el

Ep 5 most likely about lucas

Ep6.....

Demobats. Eddie munson imagery. Him sacrificing himself to the demobats for Hawkins. Maybe Eddie flashbacks to support mike and Dustin. Also my own theory about El:

Which means our girl is in danger yet again 😞

NEW BTS PICS

Hm....an explosion... Where else did I see an explosion....

Ah, right.

MAYBE THATS WILL IN ST5.

We know Brenner basically copy pasted the other numbers with ones blood that's why they all have his powers, we know he needed more than him, how it's presented in the first shadow.

Not going deeper into this, but to sum up I believe Will has powers, and that he was most likely the cause of this explosion.

IT DOESN'T SAY GAY IT SAYS GAK

IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY IS SAYS GAK since theyres a wheel in front of it.

So yeah, I searched the meaning behind it and

It's def not the first, and a bit wierd if it was the last one.

So that actually leaves me with the second one, meaning a sticky substance. Which I suppose is somewhat of the bike chain oils? idk

#like why would they have a container that says this in the first place #i just dont understand if theyre initials or it just says gak #which is such a weird word if u ask me #st5 #st5 speculation #st5 leaks #st #byler #bike #no beta we die like my respect for noah schnapp

The proud princess, the lost knight and the flowers in the cave

In s1 ep 8, the party plays DND and after they finish their campaign, Dustin, Lucas and Will respectively asked what happened to the lost knight, the proud princess and those wierd flowers in the cave.

Now, I do believe that the order they said this and who said what is also symbolic, but first I want to start with this general symbolism:

We only see one knight in the whole show, and he was also crowned as the leader, the heart of the group, who is only mike wheeler in the painting with the whole party fighting the thessalhydra/tiamat.

So, in those words, mike is the knight.

It doesn't take much to realize that the proud princess is El, given how she's the only one who not only turned out proud of her powers and who she is as a whole by the end of s4, but also the only one involved with flowers.

The weird flowers in the cave:

In s4 ep1, El mentions how she missed the spring flowers in Hawkins, but she finds it pretty in Lenora too

In s4 ep2, mike, after reading the letter El sent him, collects a bouguet of purple, yellow and pink flowers to gift to El once he'd arrive in Lenora.

(tagged from mike)

In s4 ep9, the flowers "in the cave" are rotting, as the upside down is taking over and bleeding into Hawkins, therefore destroying what they know as their reality.

So, what about them?

The flowers in the begging of s4 are bloomed, untouched by any upside down infection, but yet had to be cut in order to be given as a gift. This mugh be me over exaggerating, but I do think that cutting the flowers (in this case having someone else to do it, since that wasn't Mike's handwriting in the card to begin with, aka he most likely told Karen to buy flowers from Hawkins/ just a hc) might be him pretending that everything is great in their relationship.

BUT

The flowers literally rot in the end of s4, and as we see, El is in front of the others while mike is standing next to will

Therefore, the proud princess has finally accepted herself and therefore is proud of that.

The lost knight is still lost, unable to figure out his unrequired love for the cleric.

And the flowers are rotting.

And the cave?

I'd like to believe that the cave is the upside down itself. This is the blind leading the blind but I'd love to think how the "cave" works as a metaphor for either the gates or the upside down to complete this sense of closeness and fear of the unknown.

Who said what, and why they said it:

This is most likely stupid, but I think that Lucas saying about the lost princess emphasizes the foreshadowing of him trying to get mike back with el in s3 and that Dustin saying the knight also respectively foreshadows him and Mike joining hellfire and coming closer by time.

To add insult to injury, I think that will said the flowers in the cave to foreshadow the love triangle between will, mike and el and the whole situation with the flowers in s4.

Now reminder that this was just a silly scene as a conclusion to s1 which can also mean nothing, but I think the duffers give a laugh about those subtle hints about this scene.

If you want more info about el's letter and how she covered her hard time in Lenora with lies targeted towards mike, you can click here

Jason's scenes are not a waste/ Will & Eddie parallels

Update: wrote this a long while ago, and it's not worded correctly cus I literally came up with it at two am so sorry if its messy 😭.

S4 I think ep5 or 6, Jason gets interrogated about Patrick's death, mentioning how hellfire is a "satanist cult" and how "Eddie's killing off victims for fun".

BUT

He mentioned quite the quote here: Eddie making a deal with the devil, therefore he now has powers to kill for Satan...

Which, to me at least, sounds quite familiar.

Who else Hawkins put aside in season two after having an upside down encounter? That's right, Will.

In s2, Will became "zombie boy" and got mocked by bullies more than he did before.

Which, in fact, got hawkins questioning if it was real or not

There are many parallels between Eddie and Will; one of them being their DND obsession. And, considering this scene, I could figure out how it works as a metaphor for Will.

If Eddie is the vessel who got powers from Satan, then this metaphor could also mean that

Will is also a vessel, and Satan is vecna, so this entire scene could foreshadow the ending of st5.

Basically, and with the proof below, Hawkins will be after Will as well and think that he's still involved with "Satan" aka vecna.

Also eddies vandalized gravestone connects everything back to Jason's squad.

No bc what was the point of this?

ik the lab reached out to him cus they figured he knows the kids and therefore lead them (and probably their target: el) back to them.

But that doesnt quite add up to the timeline, does it...

I think there was another reason they reached out to him. They were probably planning this for a while now, even before s1 started, and tought clarke was the perfect link to the kids and eleven, but why?

Clarke might be connected to vecna and there is proof.

Either hes one of his followers or simply another puppet or a coverup pawn. I havent really thought this through but i do believe hes heavily involved also thanks to @liebstie (bubble) on twitter who gave me food for thought.

The suspicion began when he first saw el, and his reactions were extremely similar to billys in s3 after seeing her for the first time

hell even their expressions are similar

something something they both looked like they recognized el.

Another scene that kinda bugs me about his arc is this:

Look at his expressions, hes definetely hiding something, He knows theres a gate, and he knows how to get there thats why he didnt tell them the entire truth.

These were also foreshadowing the uds effect in the mest seasons, the "swallow us whole" part covering season 5.

BONUS:

HE KNOWS. He knows abt the lab definetly and he also knows about vecna. hes iffy, i can tell but like i cant yet tell if hes under vecnas control or working with him. Now we havent seen him interacting with brenner at all, which leads me to think this:

What if something happened to force him into a connection with vecna, one different than wills or billys, that actually led the lab lady reach out to him and keep an eye on him?? We know she was sent by brenner, and the whole newsletter thing was bs to coverup why exacly they needed him, Clarke is suspicious at all times, as if hes tiptoeing onto what information hes allowed to share about the gates and the upside down.

My theory is that clarke is somehow paraleling both snape and slughorn from harry potter, as vecna paralels tom riddle/ voldermort. He could have helped him in the past since he was presumably always hyperfixating on science, and maybe they had to exchange services of some sort, i havent seen the play so idk if he was involved at all.

Plus this scene where he told them about finneas' injury is also most likely heavily involved in his arc

And then the camera pans from focusing to will, and then max.. which foreshadowed her injury in st4.

#stranger things 5 theory #scott clarke #hes actually really bugging me #like hes playing the cool teacher but would actually either betray them or sacrifice himself for will as will fights the final form of vecn #and tbh as i remember i dont recall his involvement in the first shadow #god i have no idea how old he is lmao #explore #no beta we die like my respect for noah schnapp #coniangray #stranger things #st5 #st5 filming #st5 leaks #st5 speculation #st5 theory #stranger things 5

This paralel might be more important than we think

mother and son parraleling each other?? in two sepatrate seasons???

Joyce was the odd one out in s1 bc she was the first person and only one who felt a connection to will in the upside down. Yes, el was connected to him too but in the way joyce was. You ight say this was just maternal instinct of some sort but lets be real, its not just this.

I think joyce byers has powers, more like a sixth sense, and thats why she could sense will more than anyone else.

Her connection to will is stronger than we think thanks to this scene:

This is not just worry, Joyce sensed something was gonna happen, and thats what kept her on edge. This acknoledging sense was all over s2 as well, because of how she reacted to her sons syptoms after he got posessed by the mindflayer after that halloween night.

And heres where she differs from virginia aka henrys mother:

Joyce was always there for her son no matter what while virginia called henry a monster just because of his powers.

thats it i dont have anyting else cus I NEED THE DAMN PLAY IN STREAMING

More proof for the jancy/ stancy debate & screws

Chapter 5: the nina project we see nancy and steve undoing the screws in order to get to the creel house and investigate.

And by undoing, they are resolving a step to go forward in the case of vecna and figure out the clues in front of them. In that same scene later on, steve messes up the sherlock line, while tryna flirt with nance.

Taking this in context of their relationship:

steve messed up with nancy, as he himself admitted in s1 ep8 the upside down, plus given the whole flower thing in s2 and how steve wanted to apologize while going at the wheelers when she wasnt there.

So, considering all visible clues, steve and nancy are unlikely to end up together. bonus points when steve admitted he was crawling backwards in s4ep

BUT

S4ep9: The piggyback, jonathan and nancy are building the window together by screwing in the screws and therefore proteecting the cabin and el at the same time.

PLUS: the joke that jonathan made for steves "leadership" and "who wwould be in charge"

To me at least that sounds like jonathan trusts nancy despite their problems.

Anyways, its late so heres some additional stuff from august of 2022:

#coniangray #jancy #stancy #jonathan byers #nancy wheeler #steve harrington #theory #its 2 am rn and i am SO back on track with these theories #im just watching st s4 lol thats why im rambling #yapping #arty #rambling #nancy #strangetr things #lol #no beta we die like my respect for noah schnapp #your son looks like a girl #lmao

A FOOTNOTE WILL DO - Shiftingfics on ao3

Mike wheeler has to face the facts. Despite Vecna's curse killing victims in Hawkins one by one, he finds himself in California, Lenora, only to find a complex situation with Will. This day is one that will change everything....

A canon compliant fic that starts in season 4 of stranger things and follows both Mike and Will's prospectives from Lenora all the way to a destroyed, apocalyptic Hawkins after the four gates of those victims collided.

The story is split in two parts:

Part one: The best spring break ever

After the terrible shooting, and Will thinking everything was his fault, Mike tries to approach him, even try to get a word from him. But will doesn't talk- he won't talk. He's mad at himself for everything.

All changes when Mike spits out that one lie he never meant. A lie that stigmatized Will for ages.

Part two: This is the end(?)

A year later. There was an attack on Halloween - called the crawl- that forces both mike and will to come closer to each other after drifting away for a long while. The Hawkins crew now has to protect their hometown from demo creatures by completing night shifts out in the wild, specifically by checking areas that are abandoned and in a non-quarantined zone. Little did they know that in one of them affected Will in a way that can't be deceived. Little did they know that this shift would change everything not even four days later.

The finished story contains 29 chapters and about 120k words. Hope you enjoy <3

Tw:// blood

When Will woke up again, the sun had already risen a bit. He assumed it was about six am, after bringing himself back to the reality he lived in. Confused from what he already faced, he checked his surroundings to make sure he was alive, and actually there.

The roof was empty and quiet. There were no screams, no running, not anything. He got up and tried to walk back inside, to see if Fred was there. Even though he was in extreme pain still and he just witnessed awfully horrible things, he hoped he was still alive.

He pushed the door, but it only opened about three inches; something was blocking it.

He pushed once more. And then froze in place due to the view he came by.

Fred's body was unrecognisable. It wasn't even considered a body anymore. It was a mass of broken bones, flesh and poked eyes outside their sockets. The skin was rotten, and the clothes were ripped due to the bone replacement. The only thing that stayed in place was the scar and the glasses.

Without knowing, Will made a few steps back, and he puked so much that blood came out of his guts.

He didn't know how much time passed. He didn't know if the Wheelers already woke up, if they noticed he wasn't there anymore. He didn't care at that time. He only wanted this to be over.

The police alarm was ringing from the other side of the block. Will waited there, relieved that someone was to appear, giving a sense of normality.

"Did you witness anything else before passing out? Like where the killer might have gone?" Chief Powell asked. Only then did Will realise he revealed part of the truth to the authorities, not the whole thing.

"Uh, no. I'm sorry." He replied with hesitation. Before passing out, the only thing he could bring up was Ghostface's mask and a rock. Nothing else.

As the chief headed to his team that was examining the body, he shooted a web on the nearest building and started swinging back home.

A small part of my fanfic "Leave no trace behind" (shiftingfics on ao3).

Intro :)

Well hello there, I've been debating downloading tumblr for years now but here I am iggg (yes I came from Twitter).

Before starting to post anything I just wanna let u know I DONT support nor respect Noah, Brett and Ross atp given how they revealed their disgusting views about this genocide happening in Palestine.

To make it clear, I support Palestine and for that matter I'm glad that the actors I'm looking up to have spoken up about it.

Here I'll be posting mainly theories about s5. I know we agreed to boycott this show (which I've been 🏴‍☠️ since day one given I don't have Netflix or any other platform like that), but I do still hyperfixate on it, given I've been in the fandom since March of 2022.

By posting byler or even will related stuff in no way do I mean Noah. I've learned to separate the character from the actor. Why? Fanart. Specifically, kidovna's will is exactly how I view him.

I know that posting about the show is promotion, but as an editor and a fanfic writer I can't just stop posting about it. I hyperfixate on it for a good while now, and I don't want my hype for s5 to go.

That's it for now. Don't forget to boost posts about the genocide happening in Palestine. They do need our voices to uplift them since their journalists die one by one in Gaza.

Plus, I'd like to note that associating a genocide with a show like this is not a proper thing to do in any form. Stranger things is fiction, what is happening right now is reality. I know the show represents some aspects of history and reality, but making a genocide about it takes away from what we should actually do.

I know I might have done this just know but I am still (and always have been) boycotting shows like this and movies like scream. And I suggest you do the same since these companies r full of Zionists and some of them even fund this ethnic cleansing.

A temporary ceasefire doesn't mean the genocide ended. It's still going, and we can stop it by boycotting these companies. And to succeed that it will take years.

These companies need to have less of an income to be therefore unable to support Israel.

#i was about to make a small intro but this issue makes me guite angry tbh #byler #no beta we die like my respect for noah schnapp #coniangray #kidovna's art is insane i really appreciate all the artists i follow here #which is why i came to tumblr in the first place #they really inspire me to write #byler theory #free palestine #free gaza #intro post
