School rivals p.t 2

Thought I’d make a part two. Also I’m sort of making up as I go plot-wise but it kinda ties into the show. Hope u don’t mind.

After (y/n) plays a soccer match at Arcadia Oaks Academy, her schools rival, gumm-gumms attack and she gets caught in the crossfire. The person who come how her aid is the one she’d least expect.

——————

“Give me an A ! Give me an R give me a C....give me and adia !” Attempting time rouse you supper from the crowd watching your soccer team, Cosch Lawrence yelled into a speakerphone. To say his cheering was sub par would be an understatement.

The students, parents and teachers spectating gave up on following along with his chanting and instead turned their attention on the match.

Up in the top row, Jim, Claire and Toby were cheering you on, shouting supportive messages and jumping up to celebrate when you scored a goal.

On the field you were panting and sweating with exhaustion at the effort of playing. To say you were trying your best would be an understatement. This match had you fired up for multiple reasons. For one you hated Arcadia Okas Academy; there was war between your two schools and you were determined to win. Secondly, you could quite clearly see a certain punk rock kid sitting in the bleachers, who had been staring at you for the entire game.

It gave you a weird feeling in your stomach which you mistook for anger. You weren’t entirely wrong, it did make you angry but also something else. Unbeknownst to you, Douxie wasn’t just staring at you to annoy you, although that was definitely part of the reason. He was also captivated by the way you played, the determination on your face and the way you encourage your teammates. It reminded him a lot of King Arthur before Gwenwviere had passed away.

“Half time !” Loudly and with a blow of her whistle the referee announced it was half time.

You looked up at the scoreboard and weren’t too pleased to see it was a tie. You had twenty minutes of the match left. Only twenty minutes left to win.

“Okay guys weve only got twenty minutes left to break this tie. I know we can do this. It’s our first game this season against Arcadia Oaks Academy. We’ve gotta our then in their place !” Your encouraging speech did it’s job, hyping up your teammates and boosting their confidence.

The girls yelled and whooped before dispensing and running back onto the field. Aja, a new foreign exchange student hung back and tapped you on the shoulder.

“I wanted to say thanks (y/n) for suggesting I join the team. The game of soccer is very lively !” She thanked you excitedly before rushing into the field to join the other girls.

You smiled at her excitement and the way she’d started to bond with the other girls on the team. When you’d wondered pass the gymnasium one day and saw her doing gym you knew she would make a great addition to the team. Maybe she’d even become team captain after you left. She was a natural leader.

The other team were staring daggers at you, as they joined you on the field. Just before you left to rejoin them you noticed that the seat you’d saved for your mum was empty; it wasn’t unexpected but still disappointing. She was busy, her job as a docotor basically consumed her life. It was noble, and you were so proud of her, but sometimes you wished she had more time for you - especially Jim. However you knew she was doing her best.

At least Jim was there and Toby and Claire, Toby was basically family; you’d known him since he was five and he felt like a younger brother to you. Whilst Claire was a new addition, you saw how happy she made Jim and you found that you and the pretty girl had a lot in common. For one Mama Skull. The three of them waved down to you, which you returned quickly before running back onto the field.

Your eyes flared with something fierce as adrenaline flooded your veins.

‘Let’s do this.’

—————————————

You won.

With only a minute left Aja had passed the ball to you which you’d just managed to scrape into the goal. And with the final goal scored the crowd had roared, your school cheering with such vigor you were pretty sure the bleachers had shook.

Whilst high fiving your teammates and exchanging hugs Toby, Claire and Jim had rushed down to congratulate you, forming a group hug as Toby and Jim attempted to lift you up on their shoulders. It didn’t go well but they tried.

As people chattered excitedly around you on the soccer field, you watched as the team from Arcadia Oaks Academy sulked off the field, heads down in defeat. A small smirk made its way across your features. Winning was sort of your thing and you didn’t take failure well.

Douxie, who’d secretly cheered when you’d scored the winning goal, hung around beside the bleachers. For some reason he didn’t want to leave just yet. Sure he wasn’t really into sports, and had never watched a school soccer match before, but when he found out you were playing he felt compelled to watch. Maybe he wanted another chance to annoy you or maybe he just wanted to see you again.

Although you were excited, riding on the high of your recent victory, something felt off. There was an uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach again, and as you turned around your saw the cause of it. Douxie Casperan watched as your eyes focused on him, bewilderment filling them. For a second you just stared at each other, no hostility, no glares, just mutual curiosity.

Then something that had never happened before occurred. You smiled at each other. Douxie mouthed ‘well done’ and you actually mouthed ‘thank you’ in return, before he turned around and retreated into his school.

Was it the end of the world ? Quite probably. Or you could just have been really happy about your win, especially as team captain....also a little bit because Douxie had been watching you the entire time.

——————————

Darkness started to creep across Arcadia as the sun descended over the horizon, casting a navy blue light over everything. The lamp posts surrounding the field had turned on to provide some light, by the time you had come out of the changing room. As the other girls left, saying goodbyes and a few last congratulations you hung around looking for Jim, who you were supposed to be giving a lift back home.

Whilst he may have a Vespa, your motorcycle was definitely envied by your younger brother - who had been officially banned from ever owning one. Your mum said she couldn’t handle it if both her children had one. And you were a much better driver.

“Jim ?” You called out into the seemingly empty field, your voice echoing across the darkness.

Although the pitch did look creepy at this hour you were far too annoyed at your younger brother, for not waiting where you told him to, to notice. After a long gruelling game you just wanted to go home, shower and snuggle into your bed and drift off thinking about Dou-

Hold up. No. No. You practically smacked your head as you nearly finished that thought. A feeling of disgust overcame you at the prospect of daydreaming about Douxie. Again your stomach started feeling weird and you blamed it on how gross you found Douxie.

‘Annoying, sarcastic, snarky, irritating, did you mention annoying, Douxie. Punk emo kid who thinks he’s so cool with his skull necklace and look at me Im so mysterious’ caught up in your angry thoughts you didn’t notice the way the ground had started to shake ever so slightly, foretelling of the advancing army of gumm- gums that were approaching you.

The gumm- gums had strict orders: capture the human troll hunter’s older sister and take her as a hostage. They planned to use you as a ransom, your life spared in return for Jim’s.

Then under the bright white light of the lamp posts surrounding the pitch, they appeared. A quiet gasp left your mouth as you froze at the sight of five massive hulking creatures emerging from the shadows. A scream tried to leave your mouth, your legs ached to run but your fear froze you to the spot.

‘W-what are those ?’ You thought as you stared petrified at the stony bulky monsters, who’s skin appeared as black as the night, outlined with glowing green lines like veins. But it was their eyes, or what you guessed were their eyes, that chilled you. They flowed with a green fire that seemed to burn you on the spot, empty of remorse or emotion.

You were going to die if you didn’t move and yet you couldn’t do it.

Without warning they charged, bounding across the field and reaching you within seconds, not giving you a chance to try and dodge the axe of one of them that quickly descended upon you.

You caught the eye of your reflection in the dulled metal; you looked terrified, for the first time in your life you were truly terrified and it would be your last.

“I don’t think so.”

The next thing you knew you were hurtling to the side, falling and rolling across the grass. A groan left you form the pain of the impact. Wait you felt pain. You weren’t dead. Somehow you weren’t dead.

And the answer to why you weren’t happened to be standing in front of you, panting heavily. Douxie Casperan had saved your life.

“Doux-“ you started only to be quickly interrupted as the boy started pushing you away, eyes glancing feverishly behind him at the oncoming monsters.

“No. (Y/n) you need to get out of here. Run as fast as you can back home, and get Jim.” It scared you to see the serious look in his eye, so foreign compared to the sarcastic and snarky Douxie you knew.

“What ? No Im not going to leave you ! And why would I get him ?! Also what are those !!!” You started screaming and rambling, fear setting in as you started to hyperventilate and shake. It felt like the ground was spinning.

Terrified now for your safety, Douxie gave you one last shove, growling at you when he spoke:

“For once (Y/n) listen to somebody else ! Go ! Now !” His voice was like ice, a sharp knife that stabbed you with it’s force.

Before you knew it you were running, sprinting for your life as you leapt across the field, away from the monsters you couldn’t explain and the boy who’d saved you.

Tears were welling in the corners of your eyes from fear and stress. Terrified of what you’d see, you hesitantly turned around while you were running, just to have a quick peak.

What you saw next was somehow weirder than anything else you’d seen so far this evening.

Blue currents of energy were swirling around Douxie as he started yelling a strange incarnation and drawing symbols out of thin air. The monsters went flying back and Douxie advanced on them. He was fighting them. And it looked like he knew how to.

‘What is going on ?....’

Your thoughts raced as you sprinted across town, shops and houses passing you in a blur as you neared your house.

Thank god for all that soccer and training because you were fast.

With a crash you battled through your door screaming.

“Jim ! Jim !! Help.” Your screechs were met with worried yells from your brother, who rushed into the hallway followed by Claire and Toby.

‘Why were they here ? Why was Jim here ? You were suposed to have given him a lift home...’ your thoughts were pushed aside as worry for Douxie overcame you.

“It’s Douxie... h-he said to come get you..he’s in trouble t-there’s m-monsters...soccer field...hurrry !!” Your screams and crying drew the attention of two it her house guests in the kitchen, who decided it would be a good idea to come check it out.

Blinky and Aaaargh were surprised to see master Jim’s sister in such a state, but not surprised when she saw them, froze, screeched and then fainted. It was quite similar to how your mum had reacted upon fist meeting them. Humans were very dramatic creatures.

“Well I think that could have gone worse.” Trying to keep things positive Blinky pointed out, not reading the tension in the room.

“Okay guys we need to go to the soccer pitch now. Aaarrghh, Blinky Douxie needs our help.” Now serious Jim addressed the his friends, eyeing you with worry.

With nods of understanding the troll hunters suited up, weapons at the ready.

“For the glory of Merlín daylight is mine to command!” With Jim now ready they sped out of the door, Claire already having portales to the field using her Shadow Staff.

“What about your sister Master Jim ?” Blink year last second question caused the young troll hunter to stop.

He eyed your form with worry but knew you’d wake up soon and it would all be fine.

“She’s not part of this. She’ll be safe here, nobody’s after her.” Jim’s answer was logical enough for Blinky. Without turning around they rushed out of the house after Arrrgh and Toby.

If only they’d turned around, because if they had they’d have seen that you’d disappeared.

Part 3 ??? Hope u liked it !

Do you think Hoppers actually dead though?

O K A Y.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to pull all of this together so here we go! NO Anon, I do not think that Chief James Hopper has gone and died on us. There’s no REAL evidence (there are easter eggs though) however and the Duffer Brothers could still pull the rug out from under us but hey.

No I do not believe that Hopper is dead. Although some things can be interpreted as pretty final and if the Duffers really kill him off I will never watch this show again, because it’s horrifically SHITTY writing and im already super tired of that this year lmao.

One - There is no body? We were never showed a body or what’s left of one? We have seen bodies for Benny, Barb, Bob and Billy (and even people who were in it for like 5 minutes). THEY EVEN PRODUCED A FAKE WILL WHEN THEY WANTED US TO THINK HE WAS DEAD. THEY AREN’T AGAINST SHOWING US BODIES!!! Which brings me to my next point!

Two - They also aren’t against to showing us death. Lots of gory detailing death, WHOEVER it is. Billy died horrifically but you saw it even though hes a kid. Bob got ripped to shreds.  And even those dudes at the beginning of S3 died horribly? They still showed it. Hopper’s death??? It cuts away. You see NOTHING. AT. ALL. There aren’t even any remnants OF a body where he was standing, and Joyce goes down there and LOOKS. Surely shed find something? Gooey grossness like the bodies at the beginning? Nope. You could argue that they’d be against showing us the death of a beloved hero and a main character but. Again. Bob was beloved and arguably one of the sweetest characters in the show and he was ripped to bits in front of us and Joyce. Billy was a kid for all intents and purposes, still he died a horrible death. Not one bit of that was cut away.

Three - If you look in the shots hes not on the platform when the thing explodes????? like at all? Either that’s badly shot or its done deliberately because he’s just not there anymore? There’s the portal to the Upside Down and you can see a ladder in the shot too, so maybe he either went into the Upside Down or down the ladder and got caught by the russians?? We just don’t know.

Four - We see the devastated Eleven and the aftermath of what happened at Star Court. Then it jumps to three months later? Okay, odd that were not shown anymore of the grieving or the funeral. Then of course Eleven read the SPEECH. Think about the end of it specifically and about LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN 3 INCHES!! You can see from one of the final shots of Star Court that the gates not CLOSED. It was healing but it never fully closes. So Hopper could be in the Upside Down, or travelled through it to Russia on the other end?? Who knows. Point is, they included this line at the end for a reason. Whether the reason is that hes actually dead and they’re just being profound or that its a hint about his fate, its meaningful.

Five - During the ending the song HEROES by Peter Gabriel plays, this is the same song that was placed over them finding Wills fake body, and after all the goodbyes and the ‘speech’ where it ends with “keep the door open three inches” well. Come on.

Six - Then it cuts to Russia and you hear the “not the american” line, and Hopper was called “the American” throughout the series by that Russian baddie. Should I start waving Red Flags here or???? Then again, a lot of people are saying this could be Brenner. Okay I 100% get your logic Im with ya, and for a few days I’ve also thought it could be Brenner. But here’s the thing. Elevens powers. Brenner makes her use them to spy on a russian man in Season 1. Hinting that there’s more going on here than just super powers, kids and other dimensions. Don’t forget that in the 80s the world was in the grip of the Cold War, and things would have started reaching a boiling point for this long before 1985 when it ‘officially’ began. We were never given any answers about why Brenner was spying on this man, or even Russia. Or even if he WAS spying for the US. Nothing, it’s a throwaway scene. Or IS IT? Russians show up in Season Three somehow knowing about the Upside Down, having failed at their own attempts to open a gate in Russia. They somehow know that its Hawkins they need to be in to successfully open their gate and potentially get monsters to use, oh I don’t know, in a WAR???? How would they have known any of this information to begin with?? Oh I wonder. We were told all about Brenner being alive and out there in season two (and we were never told WHERE and this is not referenced again), but as far as I can remember Eleven has never shared this with anyone else, even though it’s completely RELEVANT information. And as far as I can remember (its been a hell of an emotional few days) I dont think were given any explanation about how the Russians knew about the Upside Down, Hawkins or anything. So maybe the reason they knew is BECAUSE BRENNER is the one giving them their directives? Because hes worked for THEM this whole time???

Seven -  Interestingly also Eleven lost her powers? JEEZ ISN’T THAT CONVENIENT!!! Because the first thing shed use them for is to look for Hopper even if she was told he was dead. Shed look, 100% for the man who saved her, gave her a home, loved her, worried for her, cared for her like she was his goddamn OWN. Conveniently though now SHE CANT??? Interesting.

Eight -  And now. There’s the voicemail message. In one of the episodes (my brains so fried I cant remember which one sorry) Murrays gives out his landline number, and when you call it you can hear him give a message to Joyce. You can listen to it here.  You can tell this is after season three, because why would he talk to Joyce Byers? Surely if he was trying to reach someone for information it would be Hopper?  “I have an update, its best if we speak in person" an update??? About what??? Why is he coercing with joyce???  Notice how he says “it’s not good or bad but its SOMETHING” and then says “we’ll talk about it in person” (or something like that) why would he be calling joyce with an ‘update’?????????? AND ON WHAT EXACTLY?? INTERESTING!!

Nine - Theres this interview with the cast specifically ABOUT Hopper, the death and the post credits scene. And I love David Harbour but, you cannot lie for shit my angel.

Ten - Millie has said in an interview “ Her dads gone, or so she thinks” COME ON.

Eleven - Again WE KNOW DAVID HARBOUR IS LIKE THE MARK RUFFALO OF STRANGER THINGS. And hes bad at keeping shit to himself. Hes already told us at the end of last YEAR, literally a month after they finished filming season three that the Duffers have told him the ending to the series as a whole. Why would any creator do this for a man they have effectively just fired, because his character died? Why would they tell him? They wouldn’t.

Tweleve - Again. David Harbour, bless his heart, I think its trying to give us HINTS and bread crumbs to follow. Last week he changed his instagram photo from Hopper in S1 to the number 6. Odd. Today he changed it to the number one :

Twelve continued - Basically if he changed it to an 8 next, we know hes trying to hint at Murrays voicemail message and this is a clue for Hopper. Because why else would he bother?

Thirteen - Theres also this screenshot from Cara Buonos instagram where she literally SAYS about him being in Kamchatka, and uses the Russian word for PRISON. (Of course this could just be a joke between the actors

Fourteen - Theres also the fact, which is not evidence mind you, that its incredibly shitty writing to have both the men that Joyce Byers loved/loves to die in front of her? And actually having her put the action in motion that kills the man she loves? No. I wont accept that. And weve been shown her non willingness to believe in peoples death, everyone and their mothers told her Will was dead and she was being crazy. Did she listen? No. And she got her boy back. Will she think once she has a clear head that Hoppers dead? Maybe. Which is why she asks Murray to investigate. Hence the Voicemail Message.

Fifteen - Its also incredibly shitty and hard to swallow, for Elevens sake too. I mentioned already how much she loves Hopper and finally got a true parent in him. Do you honestly think they’d put her through all of that just to lose him NOW? Like i said, its convienent how shes lost her powers at this very crucial moment.

Sixteen - DAVID. HARBOURS. BEARD. RIGHT. NOW.

And SEVENTEEN -Just in case y’all are having trouble with any of that it looks like David Harbour has let sorta slip (my god I fucking ADORE THIS MAN LET ME TELL YOU). I dont know how reliable this is mind you because its not coming from a BIG source, but HERE he hints at knowing who the American is, after telling everyone else (see the interview above ^^) that he doesnt know and he cant say anything. 

‘During an interview with David Harbour, I attempted to delicately get around the fate of Jim Hopper. Harbour, however, came right out and gave it to me straight. “This is the question I’m going to have to dance around–” I began, only for Harbour to interrupt me and ask, “The ending?” “Right,” I said. “Is there a way you can talk about the future of Hopper without…” I trailed off here, only for Harbour to ask: “Well, did you see the post-credits scene?”I had, of course. And so I straight-up asked: is that Hopper behind the door? According to Harbour, that’s the most likely scenario. Throughout the season, the main Russian baddie refers to Hopper as “the American”, and having another Russian refer to the mysterious prisoner in the same way was the big giveaway.Of course, knowing that Hopper is alive, and knowing how he survived and ended up in Russia, are two different things. We’ll have to wait for season 4 to get that answer. And we’ll have to wait to see how things unfold from there. Will a big chunk of season 4 involve Hopper escaping that Russian base, and trying to get back to America? Time will tell. One thing is clear: Hopper still has a long journey ahead of him; not just physically, but emotionally.’

SO, basically Jim Hopper has not left us, Joyce or Eleven.  And if the Duffer Brothers have done all this to screw with us, well. Im not gonna be responsible for what I do.

I FEEL JIM HOPPER IN THIS RUSSIAN PRISON TONIGHT!!!

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK!!!!!!!!
