The Tempest also heavily explores the idea of forgiveness and its power to free us from captivity. El “forgives” Brenner (though it’s framed as more of an acceptance that he will never change, even if he “loved” her) and only then is she able to officially walk away from him and her previous life.

Everyone expects Will to kill Henry out of anger and spite, but that’s not who Will is inside. He is the light to Henry’s darkness—the goodness to his evil. His perfect foil. Making him evil drops him to Henry’s level and makes him no better than those who tried to kill him. Rather, it would make more sense, and create a stunning conclusion to the storyline, for Will to learn about Henry’s past and understand why he succumbed to the Upside Down. Will will realize, if he didn’t have his incredible support system keeping him afloat, he could have turned out just like Henry.

It’s sobering and heartbreaking and will drive Will further into the light. He understands what it’s like to be different, misunderstood, and used for someone else’s gain. Now, does that mean he excuses Henry’s behavior? No, absolutely not. Henry has permanently altered Will Byers’ life forever, and he will never be the person he was before. That being said, just like Prospero must ask the audience for forgiveness for harming those who hurt him, must also Henry do the same.

I believe the real Henry is still buried deep inside him, just like the people he possesses. They’re never truly gone, but rather trapped beneath layers of trauma and grief. Henry will overcome his own grief and finally put his victims to rest. Will will defeat Henry not with anger, malice, and darkness, but rather with compassion, understanding, and light.

Remember, Papa (and Kali) encouraged El to use her anger to defeat her enemies—to find something that angers her and channel it into her powers. It’s the only way she’s ever known. Through her experiences of friendship, understanding, and kindness, she learns to use her love instead, which proves infinitely stronger.

Papa had El look for Henry in the darkness, because he (Papa) thought Henry was evil. It’s only when Henry is brought to the light that he can finally shed the exterior of “Vecna” and release his past. The Party will defeat Vecna with the power of love—platonic, romantic, and self-compassion. Maybe you weren’t a terrible person, maybe you were just a victim of a cycle you didn’t know how to break.

****I AM IN NO WAY EXCUSING HENRY’S ACTIONS, BUT JUST LIKE THE CHARACTERS, WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING EXISTS IN A VACUUM AND THAT EVERY ACTION HAS A REASON. I AM NOT ADVERTISING FOR “FIXING” PEOPLE!! I WANT EVERYONE TO FIND COMPASSION FOR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS, INCLUDING THEMSELVES, AND FIND THE STRNEGTH TO BREAK THE CYCLE****

Got this picture from @will80sbyers

it has a drama club poster and it says "an evening of monologues" and the date at the bottom is April 1st.

Mikes monologue was a joke 💀

Potentially very funny scenario happening where Will and Mike (+ their current grouping) are the only people not at the church. The cast was filming at some mysterious other location in the area but there aren’t details released yet.

Will/Mike/Joyce/Robin/Lucas (they are definitely a group this season):

-Noah was on set all week

-Winona was on set at the beginning of the week

-Maya has not been on set this week

-Caleb and Finn locations are unknown

In addition, Jamie was on set this week but whereabouts unknown. Gaten was rumoured to be seen on Monday but then left.

The Stoncy+Dustin and ElHop groups are consistent with what we’ve already been hearing, so I feel suffice enough to say they aren’t at the church because one of them should have been spotted. But some of them were still filming…

Murray looking at Eddie and Steve while they shamelessly flirt: Jesus Christ another one

Here’s a Stranger Things 5 thought… how about they don’t kill Steve?

Now this isn’t just a Steve Harrington lover desperately hoping they don’t kill him (although that definitely plays a part). Honestly I think it could be a genius move to have him live, if they play it right. I’ve seen a lot of people making posts/videos about how they love Steve but know he’ll die in season 5 because that’s the natural progression of his story arc(ya know, the protector/babysitter sacrificing himself to save his loved ones) and it’s the last season.

But I think they’ve already went down that route with Eddie Munson (unfortunately), so not only would it be repetitive but it would be outrageous to have two beloved characters go out in the same way. I think this is a good way to give Steve a moment of “wait a minute… I want to LIVE. I don’t want to sacrifice myself, I want to spend the rest of my days laughing with my friends and family. I don’t want them to go on with life without me”. And he desperately fights with everything he has to make it back to Robin, Dustin, and everyone. Because he saw the fallout of Eddie Munsons death, and before he had never realized the fallout his own death would cause. But now that he’s seen it he knows he has to survive. For Dustin, Robin, and everyone he loves.

I think Eddie Munson’s death was, frankly, unnecessary. I know that he bought more time for Steve, Robin and Nancy to kill Vecna but I feel like there were other ways to do that. Eddie chose the self sacrificial route, and in the future Steve will see that it’s not a good choice. So I’m hoping Steve, against all odds, will live. I don’t like that the Duffers could be using Eddie as a way for Steve to grow, but that’s just how I’m seeing it right now.

Sorry if this doesn’t make too much sense, I just had all these thoughts I needed to share. I’m desperately hoping the Duffers don’t go the predictable route of killing Steve, so this is my way of keeping my hope alive (or self delusion, whatever floats your boat).

They say, "Hair holds memories" , "people tend to cut their hair after a traumatic experience"

Here I do believe something has happened, many say that it is because of Eddie's death, on which I agree! But I still feel like, that there might be a another reason for this aswell. Like I'm not denying that Eddie's death caused this. But I still feel like that there is another reason for this aswell (but I can't think of what might be the reason 😭).

Yeah idk given all the leaks in the past i wouldnt be surprised if st5 crew was making up fake leaks to throw off the fandom cuz honestly i think i would too

But anyway.

my sister came up with a depressing ass theory for ST5 where everyone actually dies and max wakes up with everyone dead.
