Vecna’s Curse

and Season 5 outfits

[Max] “Vecna’s curse, it never goes away. Never leaves you. With each victim that he took, he created a new gate”

[Holly]“A gate to the upside down?“

(Max ignores that btw)

[Max] “When he took me, he opened the fourth, final gate. Splitting Hawkins in two”

Well that’s not right… that’s into quarters…. into an X?

Oh but wait,

Oh?

Hawkins is split into 2 timelines is my guess.

Something else weird Max says to Holly:

“I took shitty door two… until you showed up. And now door 3 is back”

Why exactly…….? Did Lucas’s constant music not help?

Well if holly is Mike (our EXIT sign beauty),

then Mike is probably everyones way out. He is… the door (and maybe a demo idk what’s up with ts). He’s also probably the wall keeping everyone trapped in Hawkins and his own feelings/truth out of sight.

Also, I remember Will’s shirt being more yellow in the lines not grey, but i’ll have to go find that screencap

Let’s go back to the beginning… sorta.

The very intro of Season 1 is shown not just as a reminder, but as the moment the timelines differ. The moment Vecna goes back in time (short 1 arm at the very least, and some of the promo around the season indicates down 1 eye like Eddies campaign suggested.

Now, let’s move on to outfits. I have a ton more on this but let’s start with this.

Ep 1 introduces us to mike in this outfit:

Although I have questions about the truth of this scene, let’s roll with it for a second.

At the squawk later than evening (supposedly), Mike is in his Camo:

Ok Fine, so he got dressed up for a mission. A bit dorky but sure. We follow him and lucas as things go wrong towards the Wheeler house..

Also another instance of Mike’s hair length being all over the place

Where Nancy is already covered in her mothers blood, and we get a show of her washing it off in the hospital sink. Followed by these two shots:

Interesting framing…

Mike here could, simply step through the door.

Well these aren’t the same outfits …? Nancy didn’t have time to change, why did you two?

And while I’ll never find Mike’s demo/door sweater not sussy, I’m cut for time and ya’ll know what it looks like.

Let’s talk about Robin for a second. Covered in vines. One eye covered….well, alot.

And again in Ep 5

By the way, steve has some kinda crazy (eye) patches

So Robin, Mike, Holly, Dustin and (debatably) Will in his crying blood scene. After which, he dons the orange

Mike returns to Camo (callback to all the theories that the episodes are flipped at the finale was actually more immediately after the crawl

Friends? No… Best friends…. Tangled in vines (esp mike)

And shoutout to whichever poster suggested they look like puppets on strings in the shots here (lmk if someone remembers i will happily link)

Bonus:

And with all the focus on Will’s rocketship….

Don’t forget… Henry’s got a few of his own

and it’s ALL Byler coded.

Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun btw idk if that’s relevant but why not add it and is in conjunction with the sun on the 25th and sun/Neptune on the 22nd)

Final note, with all the talk of doubles/cones/demos that look like people, I just want to say that yes, I do think something is up with Max (a demo gone ‘mad’ perhaps? dart is proof it can happen. because the ritual technically didn’t finish. But she did 'die for some time at least.)

Who would ever own up to being a clone?

Would you even know it?

And if you made it this far and you’re thinking:

"hey what’s your point here though?”

Well…

Sorry dude idk tbh

:)

Ahahahaha omg okay

gather around for the second Dr S post of the day [it’s short]

I couldn’t figure out why hoppers arms LOOKED SO LONG IN THE FIFTH SEASON But looking at this mfr Dr Henry Strangelove look at his right hand compared to the left. That is a ding dang fake hand

I know what you are. You are a gd space nazi who got mad someone gave up your ding dang enigma machine.

“THE WHOLE POINT OF A DOOMSDAY MACHINE IS LOST IF YOU KEEP IT A SECRET!”

Does anyone have the post about the finale synced to the dark side of the moon AND the wall one after the other? I found out about it recently but I cant find it anywhere, so if anyone knows where to find it id really appreciate it :)

I wrote An entire thesis on Dr Strangelove a couple years ago and i just need to get these thoughts out. I will eventually write about this in more detail but to do so I need to finish like two or three kubrick movies from his earlier stuff.

Adding this just because it makes me laugh everytime it’s the strangelove glasses and reflection plus long weird arms

Below the break because large and in charge.

Okay. Here’s a working…thesis. About the overall meta message The Duffers sold to Netflix outside of the LGBTQ/AIDs story which is exceedingly prominent imo. When Kubrick was still around he chose Stephen Spielberg to make AI with Haley Joel Osmet.

I vaguely remember this movie If I can remember I will watch it this weekend.

Now, there’s a famous story where Spielberg was filming Raiders in London or preparing and Kubrick had him visit The Shining.

The Shining! This is what finally got me to write this out because I keep thinking about joyce and her axe looking like Jack.

there’s also the kubrick stare that slips in occasionally.

Or murray. Just in general looking like bald ass stanley.

Okay so this was the start of their friendship. Stanley hated and loathed not having control but I think understood man had to evolve at somepoint. though at what cost? He hated the invisible hand of control the military said it had - there were a lot of screw ups with bomb handling. And that’s just one military thing lol.

I honestly think they both saw what the world was going towards and by the time 1996 happened, Spielberg would take over AI.

Here’s where we go backwards, I’m being kind and rewinding.

John Ford Mentored Spielberg or at least gave him advice. The Fabelmans is great.

Okay FFWD back to our time. I would bet my life Spielberg saw something within the duffers that went beyond Talent. They had a similar experience growing up with siblings and filming them for scares and fun. I think he trusted them to tell Kubrick and his last tale which is a mega meta commentary on how AI and consumerism is sucking the life out of the industry. This includes making this or bringing in choose your own adventure elements. The audience needs to gd feel something again and here we are.

And who knows. Maybe they just felt the same as Stanley and Steven. So anyway I just wrote a long post out of no where sorry. That’s why this isn’t over. It’s a big fuck you to bad analysis and churned out AI slop. And queerbait.

Because if Macy’s and Target has taught us anything it’s maybe yes stick with your target audience and don’t be like Target.

Also if Kubrick were alive today and looked around at media consumption he would have went back to his tomb in his garden.

anyway one day I’ll publish this properly.

This entire fucking ST story is layered right

the core is mike and will. buuuuut wrapped around that core I think we’re going to find

-The Warsaw uprising

-The Solidarity Movement

a. Notably, in Gdansk where Solidarnosc was founded there’s a govt building [in the Red Chamber (Sala Czerwona)]

that has a painting on the ceiling with a blue and yellow rainbow going into the water

This work was composed of 25 oil paintings on oak panels, with a central composition, an allegory to the glorious trade of Danzig (Apotheosis of Danzig). [Danzig is now Gdansk]

-The Vistula (Wisła) is Poland’s longest river, flowing 1,047 km (651 mi) from the Carpathian Mountains in the south to the Baltic Sea near Gdańsk, forming a delta at its mouth.

-During the cold war Solidarnosc took off during a perfect storm. The Newly elected Polish Pope was supportive of the movement.

a. Solidarnosc kicked off due to a crane worker losing her job in the ship yard at Gdansk. Her Crane was yellow and is now in the Solidarity museum.

Anna Walentynowicz - Wikipedia

b. The netflix tudum puzzles alluded to Gdansk and cranes a couple weeks ago. or days. who knows what time is

c. The catholic church! as warm pointed out there’s a St Marys is in Krakow. The communist catholics at the shipyard would take refuge at these churches or do meeting planning. There’s a lot of great footage around this time.

So I’m still at the end of my first conclusions since poland was instrumental in the fall and freeing eastern europe - something real bad happened with this timeline.

There’s also this polish bad ass I want to highlight

The Daring Polish Resistance Fighter Who Volunteered to Be Sent to Auschwitz So He Could Sabotage the Nazi Death Camp From the Inside

Anyway thats all tonight I’m going to look into this painting

What’s with all these butt cheek merch designs with cryptic descriptions

FINALLY I’m released!! I’ve been wanting to finish this post about Kali for the past 2 weeks omg

not that it’s long, I just had some psychological block any time I tried to edit it arghh hopefully, any other post connected to it will be easier to write now! For me it was very important to put in there things which I can lean on after, to collect it all in one place, and finally I’m free 🫠

Suspect Ozgate films that LOTR actors are in

Dorothy and the Witches of Oz, and The Witches of Oz

-Sean Astin as Frack (tf?)

-Billy Boyd as Nick Chopper (aka the Tinman)

extra addition: Christopher Lloyd plays The Wizard of Oz?? 😭

Thanks for all the birthday wishes

Has anyone watched the film Bookworm which stars Nell Fisher as Mildred and Elijah Wood, as her dad Strawn Wise?

Here is the synopsis:

Eleven-year-old Mildred’s life is turned upside down when her mother lands in hospital and estranged, American magician father, Strawn Wise, comes to look after her. Hoping to entertain the bookish tween, Strawn takes Mildred camping in the notoriously rugged New Zealand wilderness, and the pair embark on the ultimate test of family bonding – a quest to find the mythological beast known as the Canterbury Panther.

Intelligence History Echos in ST

I’m titling this echos since none of us know what is happening

so what started out looking at Jonathan tying his tie

and comparing it to Brenner I have fallen down yet another cryptologic hole so:

I’m so sure there’s been puzzles for us since the start @o11yradio told me to look into ASCII85 which still led me to Dr Brenner’s crossword. So I’m esentially just rehashing work folks have done and if there’s any tumblr posts on this I’m happy to link

We all know ASCII was an answer in his puzzle.

I’d be willing to bet if there’s no secret answer in here to discover just the breaksown of terms can tell us what’s happening though I’m not doing that right now.

I just want to share these historical facats about bletchley park

According to an article from the guardian [above screenshot] one of the tools used to recruit folks was love of crossword puzzles and ability to finish them in under 12 minutes. Note station X.

Doctor Brenner does his in under 10 or right at ten minutes.

Everything in this show points back to bletchley and alan turing. I’m so confident his base code got corrupted.

I still believe the polish cryptologists, Henryk, Jerzy, and Marian have been lurking around this whole time. Some mad scientist programmer [brenner?] maybe took their algorithms from their brains to build whatever the hell we have been seeing. And then we’re right back to hoping for a last crusade adventure.

Marian is Alexei [i scream to my grave lmao]

and Henryk is corrupted brenner I scream to my grave

I want to label Henry as Alan but it just doesn’t fit. Mostly the accent but what we have been told isn’t the full truth.

Okay and while I’m on the subject of Henry. I still believe his father defected with the enigma machine lmao ugh

But I encourage y'all to rewatch this

specifically the stop watch [which again - that plain looking watch has to be a nazi torpedo watch] because to me it’s almost like he sleight of hands the two. I’m so sick of this LOL I cannot write off Jamie saying his father was ARMY and there’s something so military about the watch while holding a torpedoman’s watch…as a ding dang writing error when this show is cryptologic history

here’s a video on the cryptologists from the polish institute which im so sure the polish institute and kuklinski museum helped netflix. im vibrating with all the historical details we might find out UGH

Okay anyways I’m making a new video today where I’m yapping about lines or scenes that I can’t stop thinking about do YOU have any lines with conformity gate goggles you can’t let go of??

one of mine is dustin’s moms shirt in season 3? and the whole scene w dustin and erica where she can’t believe lucas is helping them. which after talking to jynn about kas is kinda wild lol

or dustin talking about space nazis
