Social Media Truths: Series 1: Understanding Data and Online Privacy

It is important to understand what data is and how it functions. Data represents information that makes up an individual, so data refers to the digital, or computer based, information regarding a specific person or sometimes a group or organization.

Data works in 3 functions:

Private data: this is also known as interpersonal data. This is private data that deals with your personal information and relationships.[1]

Institutional data: this is data collected by organizations and corporations. This would contain educational or medical records.[2]

Commercialized data: this is data that is collected and stored through generated online profiles. These are created for marketing and sales purposes only. Such data will be found on sites like Facebook and Instagram. [3]

What stays private online?

What is posted and shared online does not remain private.

Social media will monitor, or act as a surveillance tool for data. This is done through:

Likes

Hash tag grouping

Comments

Messaging

Online posts

Pages and posts viewed

Surveillance

Surveillance is the monitoring of behaviors and activity. This can occur offline and online. Offline surveillance can occur socially via crowds, family and peers. Online surveillance deals with usage of a website or application. [4]

Schools, organizations, corporations, family and friends can all track and surveil online activity that is made public.[5] Organizations and corporations will have access to data even if it is not made public. [6]

An example: a look at hash tags:

#FitnessGram which can be used as a self-tracker but also used by fitness groups to monitor their members progress and activity.[7] It can also be used by educational institutions and organizations as a means to motivate students towards physical activities outside the classroom or organization.[8]

Privacy, Surveillance and Social Media: How is it used?

TikTok monitors ‘liked’ and ‘viewed’ videos to create a ‘For You Page.’[9] It generates data based off the content, hashtags and use engagement to pull related content for the viewer. [10]This means videos viewed, commented on, or liked will not kept ‘hidden’ from the TikTok organization. It is a surveillance tool to track user behavior and engagement.

Facebook is able to use location based tracking of its users through mobile applications.[11] Facebook also recently admitted it was able to use data from text-messages for verification and marketing purposes. [12]

What does it mean?

An understanding of how to protect your privacy is crucial to navigating social media use.

How to Protect Yourself Online will discuss steps on safety measures and tools that can be used.

this is what it takes - m.barzal

requested [x] yes [] no

request - I remember seeing you post about shawn's doc and it got me thinking like the song if this is what it takes.. maybe something inspired by it with barzy or something 🤷🏽‍♀️

warnings: depression, insecurities

When you met Mat, six months ago, you were in a bad place, really, and he understood that, he has been nothing but patient and caring with you. Although, personally, he couldn’t relate to how your mind would work, he did everything he could to learn the ins and outs of it, anything he could do to help. And it worked—for a while, then, then he told you he loved you, after three months, and you panicked, of course you loved him too. You loved him long before he said the words, but hearing him vocalize it, sent you into a spiral of insecurity.

Being in love, that was something new to you, true love at least, there have been guys in the past that you thought you loved, but Mat was different. He didn’t care that you had a hard time being super outgoing, he knew it was difficult for you, and he wouldn’t push you to do anything that made your mind race. But, you also knew that your relationship would become public information eventually, it was hard to keep something like that under wraps, especially with the season about to start again. You loved to watch him play, you didn’t care if it meant you had to be sandwiched into the overfilled arena, it was like you were in your own bubble watching him, he loved having you in the crowd, not only did it make him even more motivated to play his best, but he enjoyed being able to look out into your seat and check on you.

Now, you were asleep on his chest, when he had came home from practice, you didn’t have to speak for him to see that you had quite the morning. He stayed silent when he took in your wide bloodshot eyes, the way they were brimmed in red, a clear tell that you’d been crying. Mat took the few short steps over to you, maneuvering around you on the couch, laying flat on his back, pulling you into him. Your legs tangling with his, your hair falling over his chest. “Wanna talk about what’s going on in that pretty little head?” He murmured, pressing a kiss to your temple, knowing that you always got headaches there when you cried. You stayed silent, your nerves getting to the best of you, he nodded against you. “I love you.” He added, lacing your with his, to keep you from picking at your nails any longer. “I love you.” You whispered, voice rough, his heart clenched, even if he didn’t know what was running in your mind, he felt the ache in his chest just from the way you were so clearly struggling.

He knew it wasn’t always like this, you’d been good for so long, so he wasn’t surprised that this was such a hard downward spiral you were dealing with.

His mind wandered as he looked down at your peaceful figure, your breathing deep and slow as you drifted into a sleep that he could tell you needed. He played with your hair, grounding himself, keeping his mind from getting out of hand. You smiled softly in your sleep, he couldn’t help but wonder if it was him you were thinking of… he really hoped it was.

***

The cat was out of the bag, clear as day, Tito had been hanging out with the two of you, and posted something on his Instagram story, you and Mat curled up together in the background. Instantly, both yours and Mat’s phone were going off, friends questioning your reveal. Of course, that’s not what either of you had planned. The next morning while he was getting ready for the game later that day, he asked if he could post a picture of the two of you, wanting the information to be from him, and not the way people were speculating. You hesitated, but agreed, under the agreement that you got to pick the photo, he nodded, grateful that you agreed. He wanted to keep you from as much negativity as possible, at least until the two of you were completely solid, not that you weren’t already, but he knew you were still catching up with him, mentally.

He posted the photo you picked, one from over the summer, when he flew you to his hometown to spend a week with him, you met his family, and that’s when you knew he was the only one you ever wanted to be with.

“Love of my life”

The caption was simple, and he didn’t tag you, not wanting people to have direct access to your profile, despite it being private, he knew you’d be spammed with requests. You smiled at his post, going over to him and pulling him down by his chain for a kiss. “I love you, thank you, for everything.” You whispered, you learned quickly to not feel shameful with him, about how you struggled, which that in itself made you feel a hundred times better, you were completely and totally yourself with Mat. “I love you, baby.” He sighed, kissing you once more before having to continue getting his things together.

***

You sat at the game, glass side ticket, of course, Mat had insisted, with it being the first game of his season. “Is that her?” You heard behind you, and you knew, this was going to be the longest game of your life. You adjusted the Barzal jersey on your frame, crossing your jean covered legs, resisting the urge to bounce your knee. “Could be.” The two voices continued bickering, your eyes widened as they spoke of things that they shouldn’t even know.

“I heard they already live together, gold digger anyone?” The nasally voice giggled and you felt bold, taking a glance back at them. They looked like they were living off of their parents, young and caked in makeup, it made your stomach turn. They caught your gaze and their faces went blank, you turned back towards the ice, watching the guys skate out. Your mind began to race, first with how they even knew about your living situation, secondly with how you suddenly felt out of place to be living with him so soon. It just worked out that way, it wasn’t weird to the two of you, you had been together for nearly five months when your lease was up, and he knew you hated your apartment, it was far from your job, far from him, and just utterly worn down. He offered, even telling you he’d sleep in the spare room if it was to soon for you, not that you hadn’t spent the night with him before, but he didn’t want to make you feel pressured to do anything. You’d laughed at him, pulling him in for a kiss, “I’m not going to move in with my boyfriend and make him sleep in the spare room.” He released the tension from his shoulders, kissing you back, happy that you agreed.

The figure in front of the glass caught your attention, Mat smiling brightly at you, you mirror his look, he was breaking down your walls, slowly, and it felt good. You had to admit, you hadn’t felt so confident in yourself in a long time, you were confident in your relationship with him, with your job, with the life the two of you were quickly building together.

You gave him a lot of credit for how much better you had started becoming, you didn’t have those bad days as often, he was bearing the pain with you.

Your mother had chastised you when you moved in, saying you were co dependent, but you explained to her—it wasn’t like that, he supported you and you supported him, that made the both of you better. Even if somewhere down the line, things no longer worked between the two of you, you knew he would have always changed your life for the better.

As they began to prepare for puck drop, you pulled your phone out, going to your own Instagram, changing your profile to public, you wanted to brag about him, selfishly, you wanted to be able to post him and have the world see how happy you two are. You pulled up a recent picture, from the two of you going to the Statue of Liberty, you were on the ferry ride over to it when you pulled out your phone, turning to take a photo with it in the background when Mat stuck his head in the frame, grinning widely, you laughed as you took the picture. A genuine moment between the two of you.

“A whirlwind of six months with him, but I wouldn’t change a thing with my love”

You posted the picture, tagging him in it before locking your phone and putting all your focus into the game, cheering louder than usual every time they scored. It felt good to release the worries.

***

Mat stared at his phone, shock evident on his features as he looked at your post, he liked it and left a comment of a kissy face, chuckling at the gesture. He rushed out of the locker room, pre game suit back on, he spotted you leaning against the wall, a smile covering your face when you saw him.

“I’m so proud of you.” He spoke the second he reached you, arms engulfing you, “proud?” You giggled wrapping your arms around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. “Yes, you’ve come so far. I-I just love you so much.” He stuttered out, cheeks burning bright red, your heart skipped a beat. “I love you so much.” You told him, smiling cheekily, he laughed under his breath. He was happy that you hit this turning point, he was even more happy to be here to watch you blossom into your full potential.

How To Become A Witch

The following will address how I would teach people to activate their witchy sides. There are of course other methods and different strategies. This post is very small and I will probably write a better one eventually but right now I need a nap.

The First Steps

1. Interest and What You Want to Learn

To become a witch all you have to have is intent and interest!

There are so many different aspects of witchcraft and even more kinds of witches. You have to find something that you love and enjoy doing and practicing. The term “baby witch” is a modernized name for beginner witches, finding posts with these tags are good for beginners. You DO NOT want to dive headfirst into experienced witchcraft without first developing an understanding of what you’re dealing with. You risk offending your deities, the universe or the nature that surrounds you.

This being said there are a LOT of “witch” posts that are outright wrong, you do not want to get guidance from a witch who has put little to no research into what they’re teaching. So ALWAYS check what you’re reading especially in relation to potion brewing, you NEVER want to ingest poisonous plants. In addition to fact checking always be weary of blood magick, practices like these do more than harm your physical body, they hurt your mentality and they can hurt the people around you. If you are using blood or any other bodily fluid, because some people will do it despite the warnings, always sanitize the area and correctly treat the wound.

There are also a large range of books that are directed at witches or plants for green witches. The books that I currently have in my possession are “The Good Witch’s Guide” by Shawn Robbins and Charity Bedell and “The Languages of Flowers” by Mandy Kirkby. I have downloaded “The Green Witch” by Arin Murphy-Hiscock and “Moon Spells” by Diane Ahlquist. Best of luck in your adventures!

Resources;

(Different Kinds of Witches)

(Non Religious Witchcraft)

2. Information and Research

By finding this post you’ve already taken the first step. Tumblr has a massive platform for all different forms of witchcraft, you can find some on Instagram and YouTube but I’ve never found them as accessible due to the misinterpretation of witchcraft for views. This section ties in with the first one but I felt that it deserved it’s own section as I feel that the research side of witchcraft never ends, there are always new things to learn and different perspectives to see so never limit yourself on what you want to know.

Resources;

(A Common Informational Witch Tag)

3. A Book of Shadows or A Book of Mirrors

A Book of Shadows is practically a text book of magick. It can also be called a Grimoire as a Grimoire is a book of magic, although in many cultures, other sacred texts that are not grimoires such as the Bible, have been believed to have supernatural properties intrinsically. In this manner, while all books on magic could be thought of as grimoires, not all magical books should be thought of as grimoires.

A Book of Mirrors can be used to jot all of your thoughts and experiences if you don’t want to include them in your Book of Shadows.

Warnings: none !

WC: 2.8K

“Don’t worry, Y/n it’s…normal.”

You slumped back against the wicker chair and crossed your arms over your chest, “I’m nearly twenty-two, I shouldn’t be this late of a bloomer.”

You were sitting on a patio of a restaurant eating brunch with your friend, Charlotte, who wanted to try this spot from all the pictures she’d seen of the flowers. When you first walked in, Charlotte let out a gasp as she clutched your wrist, looking around with awe vividly describing everything her eyes traced over.

How you walked under an archway of sunflowers and daffodils––They’re bright yellow, but get a bit orange toward the middle––when you first entered the restaurant. The wisteria, a lavender color––That’s purple––peaked through the holes of the oak cross hatched fence with vines––They’re green––that were intertwined in knots. And when you two were walking to your table, Charlotte couldn’t get over the hydrangeas hanging in terracotta pots from the ceiling––It’s like a mix of lilac and pale blue, but more on the blue side.

It’s so beautiful, Y/n, I wish you could see color.

Color.

In this wonderful surreal world you lived in, a person could only see in various shades of black, grey, and white until they locked eyes with their soulmate. It was a bit bizarre when your parents had the talk with you at seven-years-old. They tried explaining how you just saw a monotone of gray colors, but when you looked into the eyes of your soulmate, your world would be filled with color.

You have to make direct eye contact with them, your mom emphasized, you both have to look into each other’s eyes.

If you catch a glimpse of them, your dad added in, you might be able to see a glimpse of color but it’ll go away if you don’t make eye contact with them.

You thought that was a load of bologna, but when you were ten and someone asked why you were wearing green pants with a purple shirt…You thought that your parents might be onto something. And when you got older, and more of your friends started to see color, it became obvious that you hadn’t looked into the eyes of your soulmate yet.

Charlotte was twenty-three and had been able to see color since she turned sixteen when her soulmate spilled ice-cream on her in the park. And ever since then, she had tried to describe different colors to you whenever she saw something intriguing. It didn’t help very much, considering all you saw was various tones of grays and blacks, but you didn’t want to hurt her feelings and tell her she wasn’t helping.

Once you successfully steered the conversation away from soulmates, brunch was an enjoyable meal. You laughed, gossiped about the people at your internship, and ate your meal with only the occasional mention of color from Charlotte. But when your dishes were cleaned off, and the bill was split in half, you hugged her goodbye and told her you would see her in the office on Monday.

You were walking on the sidewalk to get to your parallel parked car when you felt someone slightly bump into you. It didn’t throw you off your feet, so you didn’t think much of it, but you were still curious as to who brushed passed you. You twisted your head over your shoulder to see the back of someone’s curly hair.

You didn’t think much of it so you turned your head forward and continued to walk. But there was a moment when you looked up at the sky that you were blinded by the brightness of the sun, blinded by a sharp light that didn’t look like the typical gray you saw.

For a second you thought you saw the color yellow.

///

The morning rain was not something you were expecting on the walk to your internship carrying six cups of coffee. Luckily you were only two blocks away from the radio station when it started, but you were able to scan your access card and pushed open the front glass doors, with your hair wet and matted to your head, before the sky opened up and poured rain.

You smiled at the receptionist, took the elevator up to the third floor, and weaved your way through the office until you got to where your internship supervisor, and the rest of the digital team, were located.

“Did you hear?” A very peppy Charlotte ran up to you as you were checking the names of the coffee cups before placing them down on the appropriate desks, ”Shawn Mendes is gonna be here today.”

She gripped your wrist in excitement which, unfortunately, caused some coffee to spill out from the lid and onto your hand.

You hissed at the hot liquid and broke her hold from your wrist to shake away the burning sensation, “His songs are cool.”

Charlotte pulled a tissue out from the box on a desk and handed it over to you, “Word on the street is that he can see color now.”

“That’s nice,” you said with little interest as you tried to dry your hands with the thin material.

“You’re not––Aren’t you just dying to know who brought color into his life?”

“I mean, only a little?” You said over your shoulder as you placed the last cup of coffee on your supervisor's desk and threw out the cardboard drink holders, “But I’d assume he’d want to keep that private.”

“He’s been seen around with some instagram travel influencer, but I hear she won’t let him take pictures of her because he sucks with the camera.”

It wasn’t an uncommon practice for people to have relationships before they met their soulmate, but whenever a celebrity was seen with someone, it always picked up the attention of everyone asking the question if they had met their soulmate or not.

You let out a little chuckle, “Well if they’re soulmates then she’s doing it out of love.”

Charlotte barked out a laugh and agreed, “I have to help Mindy finish her questions for the interview, but I’ll see you sometime after the segment!”

As she skipped off to help with prep questions for the interview, you walked into the tiny office where all of the interns sat. And just like the chatter you heard all along your walk, the interns were only interested in the celebrity guest of the day.

“––Shawn Mendes––”

“––I’m going to try and look into his eyes to see if he’s my soulmate––”

“––Don’t even try, he’s with that Instagrammer––”

“––Doesn’t mean he sees color with her!”

You were sitting in your black rolling chair, trying to block out the gossip with your headphones, but it wasn’t working. With a sigh, you spun your chair around, “Is it really that big of a deal who he sees color with?”

Everyone quieted down and looked over at you. Their stares were burning into you and you slumped further down in the chair, “Like I totally get wanting to know––it’s really fun to talk about––but isn’t that a bit personal?”

“I’m assuming you don’t see color?”

“Not yet,” you sharply replied, not liking the tone in Amanda’s, the other intern, voice, “Do you see color?”

Her smile faltered, “No, that’s why I have to look into Shawn Mendes’s eyes.”

You looked at her with raised eyebrows, not quite believing how delusional she sounded, and didn’t think it was worthy of a response as you spun around in your chair to get back to your assignments.

A few hours went by of light chatter and completing some tasks before Amanda ran into the room, scrambling to get the radio together, “He’s here––I didn’t get to look in his eyes––but he’s here and the interview is in like two minutes.”

All five interns paused their work and rolled their chairs over to crowd around the radio. You missed the intro where Mindy listed a few of Shawn’s recent accomplished chart listings, but it didn’t seem like she was holding back with anything as she dove right in with the pressing topics.

“So, Shawn.”

“Mindy,” Shawn mimicked the way she said his name with a laugh.

“A little birdy told me that someone has brought color into your life.”

There was a pause on the other end as everyone held their breaths awaiting his answer.

“Well––Not exactly,” Amanda let out a cheer and everyone shushed her, “I think I saw blue the other day? On Saturday?”

“So you saw something?” Mindy sounded too giddy as she was the first to get this inside scoop, “And you haven’t seen color before?” It was her way of subtly asking if the instagrammer he had been seen with was his soulmate.

“Never,” he was quick with his answer, “I only saw blue for a split second in the sky, but after that, it went back to gray.”

“How poetic,” Mindy swooned, “Bet you can turn that into a song.”

“I might already have a voice note and a few lyrics down.”

You were more intrigued with Shawn Mendes than you were ever before. He had seen a color––blue––the same day you saw yellow; just a glimpse of it before it turned back to gray. He had the same experience. And while Toronto was a big city, it seemed a little too coincidental that you both saw color for a split second on the same day.

“Okay we’re gonna take a quick break, and when we come back, Shawn will answer some rapid fire questions.” Mindy signed off and the radio transitioned into commercial.

There was a second of silence where all the interns looked at each other before everyone spoke over each other.

“So he’s seen blue––”

“––She’s obviously not his soulmate––”

“––But that means that he’s at least seen whoever his soulmate is from a distance or something or else he wouldn’t have been able to see blue––”

“Y/n!” Your internship supervisor peaked her head into the intern room with a smile, “Would you mind picking up a lunch order? Our hands are a bit tied with Shawn still being on air––Feel free to order whatever you want and put it on the company card.”

You pushed back your chair, happy to have an excuse to leave the gossip circle, “Of course,” you said as you picked up your phone and walked out of the room.

“You’re the best intern,” your supervisor handed you over the company card, “Promise this won’t happen again, you’re such a help and more equipped for actual work.”

Thanking her for her kind words, you decided to take your time walking to the sandwich shop down the street. It took both hands to push the heavy front glass doors open and you looked up to see it was still raining, but only a drizzle. Maybe you wouldn’t be taking your time walking to the sandwich shop after all.

You quickly walked down the street and into the shop, ordering yourself a sandwich. Once your sandwich was made, they added it to the order, and you handed over the company card. You gripped the handles of the large brown bag and shouted a thanks over your shoulder as you hurried out the door.

The sun was shining, the pavement smelled of fresh rain, and to your surprise, the rain had stopped. A small smile graced your lips as you were now able to take your time walking back to the office. When the building where the radio station was headquartered came into view, you were surprised to see a fairly large group of teenage girls waiting outside on the sidewalk.

You politely weaved your way through the crowd, whispering a soft excuse me and a pardon me, I work here and need to get through. But then, all at once, everyone surged forward and started to scream. Between fighting your way through the crowd, and the excessive pushing of the girls, you finally managed to break free.

You breathed out a breath of fresh air when you escaped the crowd, but someone walked into your shoulder hard and caused you to stumble back a bit. A little bit ticked off with how rough they were, you whirled around.

“I’m so sorry––”

But once your eyes connected, his words abruptly stopped and you dropped the bag of sandwiches and salads. Both of you were paralyzed, staring at each other with wide eyes, and that’s when you knew that he saw it too.

The yellow of the sun was familiar; a warmth of bright light shining down on you. The sky––as you heard him describe earlier as blue––seemed so soft with a light wispy streak of peach coloring through the thin white clouds. The buildings were tall, shades of gray you were familiar with, but there was more of a depth to them as you could see the color inside through the windows.

And then you really saw him.

His facial features were sharp, but the rosiness of his cheeks softened up his face. Even the concentrated creases in his forehead had a color that was darker than his slightly tanned skin tone. His lips were pink, slightly parted in shock, just like how you probably looked. You trailed your eyes up to his hair, a lone curl dangling from his hair onto his forehead.

A lot of people have brown hair, you remember being eight and holding your mom's hand walking down the street as she tried to teach you colors without having the ability to see color, you can have different shades of brown; dark to the point where it almost looks black, or as light as a gray shade.

His hair was dark brown, but with the way the sun was shining down on him, his hair was highlighted with swirls of a lighter brown like toffee. There was so much depth with the color of his hair, but then you really looked into his eyes––the two little windows into a person’s soul that granted you the gift of seeing the world in color––you knew exactly what your favorite color was.

His eyes were the same color as his hair, brown, but his eyes held more color than any of the curls of his hair. They were littered with hazel flecks, a few wispy swooshes of golden honey, and a few lines of dark chestnut radiating out from the blacks of his pupils.

You had heard Charlotte ramble on about how boring her brown eyes were and that she wished she had a more interesting coloring like either blue or green. But with staring straight into brown eyes, and finally understanding her talk about eye color, you could not understand why she was so upset with her brown eyes.

“Can you see––”

“Shawn, c’mon,” someone came over and yanked his shoulder back, “We have to go.”

He stumbled back a few feet as he brushed off a person wearing glasses, “I see––”

“Shawn, we have a really tight schedule.”

He kept his eyes locked on you as if he was scared that the color of his new world would disappear like the last time, “What’s your na––”

“Dude,” a boy with red-ish hair pulled him back by his elbow, “the fans are getting too rowdy we need to leave now.”

“My name is––”

Right as you were about to tell him your name, a tall muscular man dressed in all black stepped in between the two of you, cutting off your contact with Shawn. You started panicking, the fear of losing your soulmate now that you’d found him caused a crippling fear deep inside you.

You tried poking your head around the security guard, “Excuse me––”

“Sorry miss, he can’t take any pictures now.”

An aggravated sigh past through your lips, “I know, but he’s my––”

But you weren’t able to get another word out to the security guard explaining how Shawn was your soulmate because he, the boy with red hair, and the guy with glasses were all wrangling Shawn in the car despite him struggling and constantly looking over his shoulder at you.

Just like how instantly color came into your life when you looked into Shawn’s eyes, he was in the van and driving down the street just as fast.

And as you stood on the sidewalk, surrounded by fans screaming––Oh my God, that was really Shawn Mendes––with the bag of lunch still on the pavement, you were transfixed with the world of color that you were now surrounded by.

But you were left without the person who gifted you color.

Okay Cara, I read what you said about Cambrian and maybe I’ll agree. I have actually never heard of Tily before last year and I remember her barely even getting mentioned in the L chat

Still though I want to know who the “source” is. Why Cambrian has access to them. And why Shawn reached out to them.

yeah. i mean people 100% came to cam about it last year and said they’d been shut down other places like l chat when wanting to talk about it. we explored it a bit while being new to gaylor but ultimately thought it was nothing until a year later someone came around to suggest they’d heard about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

and i mean, i think for obvious reasons very specific identifying information can’t be passed around publicly 😭 but she is in discord so i guess anyone in there who wants can ask her how much she is comfortable sharing but cam does fully know who she is. people in LA love to gossip, gay people love to gossip, so gay people in LA *really* love to gossip and she isn’t shy to ask people if they know anything about taylor. she works in the LA entertainment industry but anything more specific than that isn’t up to me to tell. i think her and shawn, amongst others, found cam bc she has a whole podcast and likes to discuss more than just kaylor. so anyone who had any amount of info or insight and stumbled upon it was down to talk.

plus i know some krazy kaylors cant komprehend this but cam is a very nice, talkative, chill, and welcoming person which makes it easier for people who want to discuss something they’ve heard or an experience they’ve had than approaching a kaylor who will rip your throat out for not doing calculus to make the likes on karlie’s instagram picture equal 13.

Do you think it was a flashback? Because I can’t see El having her head shaved for the whole season how would they capture her again plus does Brenner even have access for it to be present day is pretty hmm but also if it is a flashback El didn’t remember other numbers either she didn’t even remember Kali maybe it’s a dream sequence??

Hi! Thank you for your questions, anon. We spoke about this a little here, but we wanted to add a little more. This is going to be a loooooooong one!

We don’t think that El is going to have a shaved head for the entire season (according to sources on twitter somewhere, Millie’s stunt double does have a shaved head, but from what we know Millie herself doesn’t. I imagine she’d have a bald cap for any scenes where she needs to have a shaved head). Also, from what we know that was Millie hiding behind the umbrella, and she does have a Hawkins Lab- style gown on so there is definitely something related to that going on with El in this season.

Is it a flashback? Possibly. El could be processing a lot of what has happened to her and having flashbacks to her time in the lab - it could simply be minor flashbacks to add to part of her storyline in S4. There has been lab and Brenner flashbacks before and I can totally see them doing it again.

However, we have been thinking about the idea that things are happening unknowingly. Firstly we have the bite on El’s leg (some people did mention on instagram that Millie has a scar on her leg in that picture, so it could be present day El, however it is on the wrong leg so it could just be a shadow or something else) and we don’t think the bite is going to just be overlooked. El lost her powers pretty soon after being bitten and that can’t just be a coincidence so we’d be amazed if it’s just never touched upon again. Has the bite impacted El more than just losing her powers? Did part of the Mind Flayer get inside of her in the moment? Is it controlling her - slowly, so that it’s not noticeable at first - and causing her to act in ways she wouldn’t normally? The mindflayer could be directing her to do things without her knowing, so rather than a flashback, she could be operating in nightmares (Almost like Freddy Kreuger - which would tie in with one of the Video Store Friday S4 influences, where they mention Nightmare on Elm Street and specifically number 3 - Dream Warriors). We touched upon this idea a little in the podcast before last - where we spoke about this potentially being something that happened with Victor Creel. We know he committed a murder, but we also know that it happened during the time where MK Ultra was at it’s peak, and with him being in Pennhurst (and we know the ST version of Pennhurst is in Kerley County, close to Hawkins) was he involved in the programme, and did it make him do things without him knowing he was doing them? It’s also interesting to me (Lauren) that Victor Creel is played by Robert Englund, who was the original Freddy Kreuger.

In regards to other numbers, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were included. Season 4 seems to be a pretty adventurous season so far, with multiple different storylines and a whole array of new characters and we have been wondering how this is all going to fit inside eight episodes. We know the other numbers do exist (we’ve met Kali - albeit briefly) and for the sake of this argument let’s say that the comics are 100% canon content. Therefore we would’ve met 006, 009/9.5 and 003 and where the comics last left off, two of them had joined up with Kali (although the comics do retcon her not knowing them, so take that as you will) In the same podcast I mentioned earlier, I speak about how I thought Peter Ballard could possibly be a number (although after those set pictures, we’re wondering if perhaps Peter isn’t actually from the 1980′s - look out for a whole podcast coming soon on our thoughts about how time travel could play a part in S4) and if he is a number he’s been in Pennhurst this whole time. Has Brenner been there too? Did he leave the lab (presumed dead) and took his experiments to somewhere close by to keep an eye on Hawkins (and definitely El) but also so he could continue his work. There has been hints throughout the show that he isn’t actually dead, and maybe this is the season where he finally comes back. This idea shows how Pennhurst could tie in with S4, and how the storylines can become more connected, rather than just being something brand new (The Duffers - and Shawn Levy, I believe - have spoken about how S4 touches upon this ‘big bad’ that’s been there this whole time. Brenner? Pennhurst? The Lab? It’s been there since before the kids in ST were even born, so it definitely fits).

This has been a very long reply, so I’ll wrap it up now. Yes they could be flashbacks (it is a very strong possibility that they are) but were not ruling out the idea that there could be a little more to these scenes and characters than initially meets the eye.

- Lauren and Emily ✨
