Russian Code - Tumblr Posts
THIS IS AMAZING and I completely agree!!!! Like it's pretty clear will knows some shit that he's not telling us and it makes sense it would be this!! Also I've been thinking of the phrase "the week is long" from the Russian code in season 3 and you got me thinking.. Will was gone for a week in the upside down, but what if it felt longer, either because of extreme life changing events that happened with vecna in there , or maybe, just maybe, there was some sort of a time warp for him during what everyone else perceived to only be a week. Oh! And maybe he survived because he was "treading lightly." Idk but this post is amazing and you're not crazy I think the duffers would want their fans to speculate like this lol😂
You know, I've been thinking about how they never really showed us what Will went through in the Upside Down and they never really showed us him talking about his time in there. He talked about his "episodes" after be got back, but not about what actually happened to him while he was in the Upside Down and I got to thinking...what if he doesn't remember the majority of his time in the Upside Down??
What if it's like a similar thing that happened with El and her time in the lab. She went through something so traumatic she repressed those memories and even changed the reality of what happened in her mind and she had to have help to remember what actually happened. What if something HUGE happened in the Upside Down with Will and he just doesn't remember it because he is repressing those memories...you know because of trauma. Like what if it has something to do with him potentially having powers or him actually speaking to Vecna when he was there or something like that??
Idk I just feel like they're hiding something from us about what went down in the Upside Down when Will was there. We barely know ANYTHING about what happened to him or why it's stuck on the day he went missing or how he managed to survive or why Vecna even targeted him to begin with and why Vecna didn't just KILL HIM in season one. It would have been really easy for him. There is also just a lot revolving around Will and the weird things he was able to do to interact with the real world and the lab's, especially Brenner's, fascination with him in season one that have never been explained or just elaborated on a little bit. We also don't know how El was able to recognize Will when the two of them had supposedly never met.
There is something they're hiding about the week Will was in the Upside Down and maybe even stuff about Will before the Upside Down. I can just feel it. Call me delusional idc, but I just feel like a lot of mind blowing shit will be revealed about Will and the Upside Down in season five in a similar style to how El and the lab was revealed in season four. Will is gonna be relearning everything that happened while we are learning it for the first time.
just thinking of when robin was at the mall figuring out the russian code and then says "a trip to China sounds nice" and then the camera shows this:

I've brought this green dragon x trip to china thing up before bc apparently this is all I think about, but maybe just maybe it has something to do with the movie poster since the poster is about a guy whos "so oriental" and hes the "last dragon." Could be just a coincidence. But there's also Will's painting of the red dragon from dnd, a lot of mentions of flying,... and then theres a lot of east Asian type designs in the background of several homes in the show, so I can't help but have a sliver of curiosity as to if it all adds up to something
And if we're connecting this to the Russian code,,, "the last dragon" came out on his BIRTHDAY and blue met yellow in the west on his BIRTHDAY (or the day after I can't remember) which is also the day when will planned to give mike the painting of THE DRAGON.... (on his BiRThDaY!1!!1!!)
HmMMmMMmmMmMMMMM?!?!?!?!?
somethings going on with dragons and beginnings and endings and time and codes and China and will byers and being the last... something?! Idk!!!!!!!!
Dare I continue about further associations between flying and wills birthday/presumed season 1 death date! Or am I getting too delusional!?!? *cries*ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Also if this movie came out exactly one year before will's birthday in season 4 (1986) does that mean anything in regards to why will says "its been a year, mike" at rink o mania when it clearly hasn't? Or maybe will not giving mike the painting on his birthday somehow messed up time.
Also idk anything about the movie itself so correct me if any of this sounds like it would be ibaccurate
The Birthdaygate Plot Thickens…
@lovesitcomsandgaystuffs I COULD KISS U THANK YOU FOR DISCOVERING THIS AND SHARING IT WITH ME!!
Remember that poster Robin and Steve were dramatically standing in front at the beginning of 4x02: Vecna’s Curse??



When Vol. 1 first dropped, back when I was more involved with discourse going on in the GA, specifically Reddit, interestingly there were a decent amount of fans speculating the significance of this movie. Since the poster ended up being on screen for almost a minute, many were willing to argue that there was a good chance it could be a hint at something we need to look deeper into to find out. Though from what I remember, the focus was mostly on the plot of the movie and so fans theories never really led to anything substantial. Until now…

THE LAST DRAGON PREMIERED ON MARCH 22ND, 1985!!!!!
At this point, with all the evidence that supports the fact that the Duffers actually didn’t forget Will’s birthday and are just lying, it seems a lot more absurd to think that everything is all just a massive coincidence.
Let’s not forget Noah said recently he was advised to be vague in interviews speculating Will’s sexuality over the years, despite it all being planned from the beginning, because it would have given away their hand a lot sooner than they wanted to. That’s why I feel like it has to all be intentional. It’s just too perfect.
This scene with Robin and Steve is literally within the first 8 minutes of 4x02, set on the morning of March 22nd, and it follows directly after the Cali airport scene… like????
