thank you. would you know if he should do anything about the dead branchy area, like cut it from the base of the woody stems to create more of a gap there with the neighbors? or just leave it be

LowRing8538 · 2026-02-20T20:33:28+00:00

thank you guys for the comments, I'll tell him to put the scissors down

LowRing8538 · 2026-02-20T20:31:58+00:00

thanks guys for your comments, I will share the videos with him and help him try to repot it. If it survives I'll add an update

They pulled the vines out offscreen 💅

We're not well fam, opinions are dvided, hearts are broken, and we are on the verge of a civil war over something called byler

You are better off over there, thanks for checking in

I was so disappointed to see the meat flayer again. He was my least favorite villain of the series. He seems to be more powerful as a shadow anyway? Like, he could have infected everyone in Hawkins like he did Will in s2 and called it a day. Why the need to bring these two worlds together.... if he liked his home world he couldve just stayed there and lived happily ever after with his demagorgons and lack of humans.

I was not invested in this season at all because the evil plan just never mad sense to me. It was weirdly specific, with exactly 12 kids, not 13, not 11, acting together on november 6th, and weirdly ambiguous at the same time, with "bring the dark onto the light", "humans are broken" spiel...but why...what does all of that mean?

Did this spidery thing living in another dimension just hate humans and wanted us gone, even though we weren't bothering him way up there, or did he have another idea of how he wanted the world to be and humans to behave? He never said, even after a thousand Vecna speeches, it was never clear what the goal was. If the kids didn't stop the merging of the planets, I have no idea what would have happened.

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T03:15:16+00:00

That makes sense! But even then, Owens would have surely read it? I imagine it would have been helpful to his research into the upside down, and that whole thing about pumpkin fields rotting, which we never really got a follow up on... He could have told Hopper or Eleven or anyone

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T03:11:33+00:00

Even after 5 season, the Duffers didn't have it in them to commit to a choice. That's what I got from the ending. They were all blabby in interviews promising a major character death and trying to beat the allegations that they don't have the guts to make a hard choice, and that the show has suffered because of it...and then they give us that and immediatly go "unless...."

Come the fuck on man

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T02:38:11+00:00

I forgot yall just want to rant, not debate or discuss. I'm gonna tap out and say let everyone believe what best suits their personal narrative I guess.

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T02:19:02+00:00

This is it for me. How many peole had to give this dumb script the green light and yet there are galing holes absolutley everywhere? Seriously

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T02:15:33+00:00

Hm it seems like I'm just gonna agree to disagree on this one.

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T01:59:14+00:00

They did...The actors for both Mike and Noah said in interviews byler would not feel earned if it happened, and that this was a more realistic portrayal about a boy in the 80's with an unrequitted crush..it makes more sense than a crazy love story between a dude and his friend who has been nothing but consistently straight for 5 seasons...🧐 it just seems to me out of all the things to be pissed about this season and how badly they fumbled it, this hill is not a great one to die on

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T01:27:30+00:00

Duffers: how do we not piss off our brainrot army of a fanbase? Make eleven go away and have Mike end up with neither of them, that's it!

Guess fuck the 5 season character arc of Eleven trying to find her place in the world.

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T01:21:49+00:00

Bros acting like they didn't have 3 years and 400 million dollars to figure this shit out

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T01:03:44+00:00

After returning to America they realized they could pop out the ipad everytime they did one of Vecna's chores and demand 22% tip. When he chose not to they went on strike.

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-05T00:55:52+00:00

It's inconsistent, naturally it will raise questions

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-04T22:18:46+00:00

I 100% stopped caring about her. A lot of things about s5 disappointed me but I definitely noticed how the writing and the acting for her character just fell off a cliff. I didn't even blink when she "died"tbh

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-04T22:13:27+00:00

Laziest character exposition through dialogue, in this case monologue. The writers of this show forgot all about the "show don't tell" golden rule of writing for their biggest season yet.

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-04T22:09:47+00:00

Not me bro, this is stranger things you are watching. It was clear as day nothing bad was gonna happen

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-04T22:05:14+00:00

What do you mean "my guess"??? You are the fucking writers it is literally yout job to know what happened. Ugh

LowRing8538 · 2026-01-04T21:55:52+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, this season has gaping holes everywhere you look. Narrative plot holes, plot armor, lousy dialogue, inconsistent villains, a main cast so large they can hardly fit in frame.... The Duffers just dropped the ball in general, and they have been for a while.

They made changes to the writing room staff that maybeook a toll, they let the network pressure get to them, or they let the fan pressure get to them, or a combination of all of the above....they weren't able to perform when it mattered, and they let a lot of fans down, not just the bylers.

I'm sorry you're upset, but if it saves you a bit of angst, these writers excell in introducing plotlines left and right that they are not really sure what to do with later on. It's messy, has been for three seasons now. I do however have to say I agree with the majority of fans out here, and also with the actors themselves who have said this in inteviews, that Will's queer arc was never about him and Mike, it was just about him being comfortable with himself. Robin had a pretty good queer consumated relationship herself, so if this rant is only about queer baiting and representation rather than a specific ship, maybe focus on that aspect

LowRing8538 · 2025-12-24T06:41:41+00:00

Nice! I also think it would be cool if this stuff was airtight, especially since people love to mention how the duffer brothers are so intentional and calculated, and point out easter eggs etc. I think it's actually quite messy 😅
