15 final thoughts on season 3 of Stranger Things

I've now finished the season, so here are some more thoughts.

  1. Steve's character development is great (I am stealing this point from my friend Jeff). Look at him from the beginning of season 1 to where he is now. He even progressed from babysitter to friend and mentor. He also finally got past notions of 'cool' when considering people.
  2. I guess we just gave up on Kali? I kept waiting for us to summon the other magic teen, but El never did. El has the ability to find anyone in the world and when we need more help, we don't get her? Or we don't even consider getting her? Sigh.
  3. Are Joyce and her kids moving in the middle of the school year? If it's about three months after July 4th, it's early October...why are they moving then? It doesn't make a ton of sense to move Jonathan in the middle of his senior year.
  4. Where's Murray? Is he alive? Is he imprisoned? Did he move his bunker? I got more attached to him this season and so I wanted to get at least a glimpse of where he's at now.
  5. Joyce has a type doesn't she? Too bad that type is dying in front of her eyes after making huge efforts to save her and the world.
  6. I really wish we had seen some better moments between Billy and Max. It would've made his death more impactful.
  7. Erica getting the D&D books was a great moment. I hope we get to see her DM, she'd be incredible.
  8. Still not super clear what the mind flayer wants.
  9. The mayor plot line did not need to happen at all. He really was just wasted time.
  10. Now that the mayor's office is open though, I really want a character we know to run for it. Maybe the science teacher? Maybe one of kids' parents? 
  11. So does everyone in Hawkins think that their loved ones who morphed into the creature thing died in the mall fire? Or like what do they think happened?
  12. Is there going to be a mass-exodus of Hawkins? The news report made it seem like it was becoming well-known as a bad place to live. So are some people going to leave?
  13. Could Hawkins become a tourist site for conspiracy theorists or other people who believe in the supernatural? I feel like the news report could also have this effect.
  14. Who is the American? Could be Hopper, could be Billy, hell it could be Barb somehow. Why not? There better be another season cause I gots to know.
  15. More importantly, is that demogorgon d'Artagnan? He better be, that's all I have to say.

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
