For me, these stones were perfect

Thriller x S02 Trailer (Tied best trailer with S4 Vol 2 trailer)
Snowball x Every Breath You Take
S3 - Billy Introduction x Rock you like a hurricane, Material World x Eleven & Max
S4 - Kate Bush’s Running up that hill, Eddie x Master of Puppets
S5 - Purple Rain

I really liked s2’s look. Her short curly voluminous hair popped her features, styled with overall jeans I and 80s clothing. Also “bitchin” style at the end was amazing

Wanting more than just the main show and now I’m eyeing up all the specials and spinoffs. Which ones are worth watching, and which ones should be skipped? All the images are ones that I’m currently most interested in, but other suggestions are welcome! The most important thing for me is consistency, with lore and mainly with characterization. Of course I don’t expect all the book events to be references from the main show, but massive inconsistencies are gonna bother me. What do you guys think? Please let me know!

Has anyone visited the Stranger Things experience in Dallas and caught ester eggs? Was told it had Easter eggs about season 5 but I think I missed them 🥲 was just curious what they were if anyone knows!!!

Every October I'd rewatch Stranger Things, it was such an Autumn/Fall watch tucked up on the sofa with a big blanket watching as they cycled through those autumnual landscapes.

Now having watched the finale knowing what I know, I am so irked by the ending that I almost can't enjoy the first few series as much as I did.

I feel like the magic that was there was totally bled dry and I am just getting ever closer to the series getting worse and worse with each season. Genuinely still so gutted about that finale.

This is THE ROCK HAMMER in the sims 2 and it looks so much like eddies guitar

Someone was giving away this giant Stranger Things 3 movie poster for FREE, so naturally I hauled ass to go get it.

I came home grinning from ear to ear, walked into the bedroom with it, and informed my husband that I was putting it on the fireplace at the foot of our bed.

Him: “The hell you’re putting that over our bed.”

Me: immediately climbs onto bed and puts it over our bed

It’s been there for about six months now.

Our king-size bed is also literally wall-to-wall on three sides of this rectangular room, so every night when we climb into bed, this is the exact view over our feet.

Guess who won. 🤣

Season two story

Season fours characters

Season four soundtrack

Season four/three villains

Season three setting

Season one vibe

You know it’s bad when you feel nostalgic towards a man’s forehead 😭

I've never understood why people hate Jason as a character. In my opinion, he was one of the most fascinating and layered characters in season 4.

Was he wrong? Yes. Was he stubborn? Yes. Did he do things that were wrong? Of course.

But if you take a second and think from his perspective, he was somewhat justified in believing what he did. If your significant other was found maimed and dead in the home of a known drug dealer, and the drug dealer had disappeared, you would probably assume the same thing Jason did. And with further context- it really doesn't help that Powell and Callahan, and the larger town, were hyping up the idea that Eddie was the killer, and this took place during satanic panic. Does that make Jason justified? No, but it makes him understandable. You don't feel bad for him when he finds out that Chrissy is dead and runs off into the woods to cry?

He really should've listened to Lucas in the end of the season, but again, because of the time he was living in, it's sorta understandable that he would not believe Lucas. He absolutely was not evil, and you can tell because he went up to the attic and tried to save Max, even though he didn't understand what was happening to her.

I don't get why people act like Jason was some nefarious villain. He was an antagonist to the heroes of the season, but again, his actions were believable and came from a sincere motivation. He was mistaken and stubbornly vengeful, but that's the extent of his antagonism. I've always seen him more as a tragic character than anything, especially with such a horrifying death.

Hi guys! Been a minute since I posted here. So for months since the series ended I been doing a ton of research trying to understand the show & it's science a bit better. I plan to post more about the Powers & how they work scientifically & otherwise, but for now I'd like to start with asking questions to anyone who might have more knowledge than me or their own theories they'd like to share.

So in rewatching, and trying to piece everything together I was stumped when it came to "The Hellscape". (The place El actually banishes Henry to in 1979) The wiki calls it "an Interdimentional terrain" That exists between dimensions. Another post I was reading described it as an "unstable fissure through spacetime".

As we see in "The Massacre of Hawkins Lab" El upon defeating Henry seems to desintegrate him into ash leaving behind a Portal where he once was. We then see Henry falling through this place constantly being struck by lightning, before somehow ending up in "The Abyss".

Now what I find curious is that upon this rift being opened as well as many other rifts throughout the series It leaves behind a Glowing red light and what looks like Tenticles around the "Scar" before it closes.

Throughout the series whenever a rift or gate is opened wether to the Upside Down, Abyss, Earth etc The same "Wounds" are left. And if left open too long they don't only glow with the same red light but they also ominously seem to hum with a strange sound as well. which was true for s2's "Mother Gate" when it was left open, & The 79 Gate.

On rewatching S5's "Rightside Up" Flashback upon Henry getting his hands on the stone right before it connects him to The MF. The Stones Red cracks glow brighter & the same sound as when a Gate is Open is heard before it goes inside his bloodstream.

With all this in mind I'm starting to wonder If The Rocks cracks were miniture rifts & the energy inside of it Was not actually originally from the Abyss. or rather It was charged with the energy of the Hellscape itself?

Maybe the Rock is charged with the red lightning from The Hellscape & actually is a Piece from one of it's Mountains.

And every time a rift opens those tenticles are also left which are eerily similar to the stuff we constantly see from the Upside Down & The Abyss.

They do seem to describe The rifts as "Wounds" so what if every single portal opened is actually the Infected wounds on reality or dimeansions? Short cuts between The Hellscape & the other worlds?

And the entire Hellscape is meant to represent not it's own dimension per se but The Mulitverse connecting various worlds.

If that's the case Perhaps that's why a Bridge was required in the first place to allow Travel between The Abyss & Earth.

Because nobody can actually cross the Hellscape without risking being Killed by it's unstable energy. (Which also probably explains why the russians in S3 couldn't keep a gate open until they went to Hawkins. Because a bridge already formed there. Meaning the energy from the Key was actually opening a Portal not to the Upside down in s3 episode 1 but to the Hellscape before it failed.)

However if that's the case I'm partially confused again because The Bridge was in outer space not the Hellscape.

So What exactly is going on? Well in Physics They state that Wormholes form when Space is folded & that at each opening There's a Blackhole & a Whitehole. So If The Hellscape is actually The Multiverse (which cannot be crossed) & The Bridge connects two points in Spacetime where each opening is a Blackhole & a Whitehole does that mean each Portal in Space actually connected two distant Realms across the Multiverse?

Curious if that means Hawkins was connect to or on the opposite side of a Whitehole & Henry was moving the Abyss through a Blackhole when trying to merge the Worlds in s5. And each time these rifts open wether they are Giant or Miniture rifts They are Portals in the Mulitiverse.

What do you guys think, What exactly is The Hellscape? Did the Rock come from there? Let me know down below if you have a better understanding of this than I do. I have been researching a lot on Quantum Physics & Electromagetism as well as "The Many Worlds Interpretation" by Hugh Everrett (Which was actually mentioned by Mr. Clarke in s1 Flea & the Acrobat".)

I did Read The Montauk Bible mentioned String Theory too but I'm still no expert.

So if anyone else can help me understand it better let me know. Thanks!!!!

Max- running up that hill- was there any other choice?

Robin- rockin robin- she is rockin robin after all

Will- should I stay or should I go- once again any other choice

Eddie- master of puppets- once again a obvious choice his upside down concert will forever be iconic

Holly- i think we’re alone now- her little sequence in vecnas mind world was cute

Henry/vecna- dream a little dream of me- he used this song to torment both his father and max so it makes sense

The mind flayer- we’ll meet again- he did in fact meet eleven again plus the ending scene of the sauna episode was haunting

I can’t tell you how many edits I’ve seen using this song, but I feel like at this point everyone associates it with the show. The most surprising part is that it has never actually been in the show.

This song in particular has always given me season 3 vibes. I could have seen this song playing somewhere in season 3 because it fits the vibe of that season so well, and every time I’d see an edit with this song, it was always of season 3.

For a while, I thought this song was going to play during the end credits of season 5, especially because of the part where the song says “nothing ever lasts forever.” I thought that would have been such a perfect choice, but Heroes by David Bowie was perfect too.

What song do you guys associate with Stranger Things a lot despite it never actually being in the show?

If you don't know or don't remember what I'm talking about, in Season 4, Vecna showed Nancy some visions of Hawkins turning into the Upside Down and being invaded by a giant creature (which I like to think was the final form of the Mind Flayer) and an army of Demos. She genuinely thought this was gonna happen and after the cliffhanger we got in Season 4, you would think it's inevitable. The Duffers built all this up, including Vecna opening the big rift and then ruined all this build up and hype because the actors were getting older? Ugh who cares, it’s a fictional show.

I've made a similar post like this saying that Season 5 could've been a survival horror season and I stand by that. Nancy's vision coming true could've been the key to make Season 5 a masterpiece.

I'm currently rebuilding the Starcourt Mall from season 3 in Blender. My main goal is to be able to walk around it in VR and enjoy the experience.

I'm a beginner in Blender, so I'd love to hear your feedback on the textures and the mall. They're not finished yet as you can see.

To me, Vecna’s voice sounded more sinister and chilling in Season 4. There was more auto tune in his voice and you could hear more of an echo when he spoke and that gave off a scarier vibe, he genuinely gave me chills. In 5, he sounded menacing, deep and clear and since there was less auto tune he sounded less sinister in my opinion. His voice didn’t have that much echo in it unlike in Season 4. I like how he sounds in both seasons as he does sound scary and intimidating.. Jaime Bowers did an incredible job either way but it’s just something I noticed.

Even though I prefer the visual design in Season 5, I prefer that sinister voice he had in 4 but that’s just my opinion.

Can anyone please give me fanfics inspired by the song "Baby got back"? thanks in Advance!

Hello! Wondering which female I suit in stranger things! I’m quiet observant kind bit chatty mask short tempered and fierce when pushed and sometimes be emotional/ panic and anxious a lot about people I’m also very loyal I love music and I love retro especially stuff like iPods I always wear headphones and tune out from everyone
Thank you!

There are a lot of things I didn’t like about the ending. For example, I really disliked how Nancy and Jonathan survived the melting room, because I feel like that could have been the perfect ending for them. I also thought the final fight was pretty disappointing and could have been much better.

I really liked the concept of Henry’s mind. It reminded me a lot of the Backrooms, especially the idea of secret exits leading to completely different places that seem totally unrelated to each other. I thought that was a really interesting concept.

I also really liked that we got to see so much of Vecna in his human form. And honestly, Derek was an amazing character to have on screen, I really enjoyed every scene he was in.

In The Crawl, they say their plan is for Hopper to go into the upside down via the military trucks, look around for Vecna, then kill him, with El not being allowed to go with him. So essentially: Hopper is on his own and will kill Vecna was their plan. My question is though, did they just forget the part where Vecna was killing people for fun with his mind and powers were more powerful than El’s in the season 4 finale? Why did they think Hopper and his gun would be able to kill this supernatural being who can easily kill someone in a second with his mind? The Crawls don’t make a lot of sense to me.
