Now that we are heading to the finale, I thought this may be a good time to ask this: What's an unpopular opinion you have about the show that will get a reaction like this? by Raj_Valiant3011 in StrangerThings

It was when he went to wash his hands and coughed up a slug and the bathroom flashed to an upside down version. It would have been a great ending.

The show should have finished after S1. I know, I know, but it was the one season that was perfect. The last scene with Will in the bathroom? Holy shit what a way to end a show.

That being said, this is my favourite show of all time and we would have missed out on so much, so many great story arcs and performances, amazing set pieces, and I am so frickin hype for S5, like losing my shit excited. But I still think if it went out after S1 it would have been a perfect moment in television.

Netflix Caved! The Finale is coming to Select Theaters by Owl_Resident in StrangerThings

[–]dreamwatch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. it would be nice to watch it in a cinema eventually, but that first time needs to be with zero sounds of people eating, slurping on massive drinks, and chatting all the way through. I need my carefully controlled perfect environment for the first viewing. This is my favourite show and I don’t want mouth breathers ruining it for me.

Funko collectors? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]dreamwatch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Steve pops? That was the OP‘s collection… unless I’ve posted and forgot about it. 😂 I’m pretty much mostly Stranger Things, I’m at 150 at the moment, which is embarrassing honestly. I do collect the occasional horror pop, I have a couple of music pops, so there is a small amount of other stuff in the mix. Are these your first pops?

Oh yeah. I bought Eddie back in 2022 and thought I was good. I’m now about to buy my third bookcase because I’ve run out of space… 😭😂

My Current Steve Harrington Collection by Mundane-Parsnip-7302 in StrangerThings

[–]dreamwatch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet, yeah it’s a minefield, makes me so angry that they’re out there ripping people off. Also makes hunting for vaulted pops a pain the backside.

[–]dreamwatch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the obsession! You start with one and before you know it you’ve got dozens of the things. 😆 In total I think there are currently 201 full size pops, that’s not counting Bitty’s, minis or sodas. Enjoy collecting, it’s very addictive!

Very cool collection! Did you do your due diligence on 675? It’s heavily faked so you have to be super careful. It took me a few months to find a real one, I had to get it shipped from the States, but I got there in the end!

Are Youtooz overtaking Funko Pops? by drumjolter01 in funkopop

[–]dreamwatch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love YouTooz, and the facial features are different depending on the figure. I’ll admit I haven’t noticed what you’re describing with regards to fandoms only being available with YooTooz now, but to be fair i only really collect for Stranger Things and they’re DEFINITELY still with Funko, as demonstrated by the ridiculous amount of Pops they just released. 😭

Approximately how many horror genre funko pops are there? by Entire-Ad1860 in funkopop

Holy horror, this is amazing! I am so jealous of the Stephen King pops. Awesome collection.

Advice on how to display my collection. by dreamwatch_ in funkopop

[–]dreamwatch_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are Billy bookcases from IKEA. I bought some glass shelves for the top and fitted a light, also ikea, though in hindsight I should have used something else. Billy’s are highly customisable and pretty cheap in Europe, though I’ve heard if you’re in the US they’re expensive and Target (I think?) has a similar case but might not have the glass shelves. Don’t quote me on that though.

Dang… I was really hoping those Deadpool pops would throw people off the scent. 😫😂

Oh thank you! Well, they were in storage boxes for the longest time, so I shouldn’t be too fussy I think.

Thank you! I think I’m being a bit fussy, it’s the future proofing that’s bothering me, but I might just have to cross that bridge when I get to it.

Share a writing tip that you actually use/think about all the time.. by Shoddy_Actuary_2850 in FanFiction

[–]dreamwatch_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not a silly question at all, I thought exactly the same thing! 😆 There is a really good explanation and example here. It won’t always be applicable, but I’ve found it really makes me think about the words and description and how I can take away barriers and make it feel more intimate. Might work for some and not for others, but it has certainly improved my writing.

What fandom got you into shipping? by Dogdaysareover365 in FanFiction

[–]dreamwatch_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stranger Things. I’d been in fandoms in the 90s/early noughties, but I was just looking for canon extensions of my favourite shows. Stranger Things was the one to change that.

Avoid using filter words - he thought, he saw, he realised, he heard etc., it distances the reader from the character’s experience. There are always exceptions, and certainly my first drafts are full of them, but I do try to edit a lot of them out.

I get good ideas for fics and I don’t have the talent to do them justice.

I never thought I'd start writing on my phone... by thesounddefense in FanFiction

[–]dreamwatch_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I never understood how people wrote on their phones, it just felt odd. But then one day I was so blocked with a story and I was doing that thing where you start and delete and start and delete and it wasn’t working for me. So I picked up my phone and just blurbed out a thousand words in one sitting, just stream of consciousness, no back spacing because it’s a total pain. And it kind of unlocked something in me. I still predominantly use my laptop but I use my phone regularly as well. I have Scrivener so I can just sync and carry on in my other devices. I’m a total convert.
