All this "Syd is a lesbian" allegations reminds me of another John Hughes movie, Some Kind of Wonderful. And as we know Chris doesn't shy away from Hughes references.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sounds familiar, right? Well Keith also has a best friend that everyone thinks is a lesbian.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They even dress the same and they rely on each other a lot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
By the end of the movie he realizes that she has been in love with him and that he is in love with her, and he gives her a gift to wear that he spent literally all his money on. Sounds familiar right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just some food for thought.

Stranger Things is one big 80's movie fix-it fic.
It's Stand By Me, if they were brave enough to admit that Chris and Gordie were.in love
It's Pretty In Pink, if Andie and Duckie ended up together like they were supposed to
It's The Breakfast Club, if the teenagers were allowed to be very, very gay
Edit: even better, per the suggestion of @punkwillbyers, it's if Duckie was gay and Andie turned out to be queer, too

Wondering if you have any thoughts on the symbolism of “our mother of victory” line between the siblings. Not sure if it has any meaning behind just reflecting their (probably) catholic upbringing, but I don’t trust anything in this show to not have further meaning so wondering what smarter minds out there mean…
Our Mother of Victory, Pray for Us
Tumblr media
The root of this is in the saying Our Lady of Victory, Pray for Us, which comes from a battle that the Catholics won against the Ottoman Turks. It is often used as a prayer before big event, Notre Dame football team says it before football games for good luck. Adding mother instead of Lady places their mother, Donna, in comparison to a literal Saint, the Virgin Mary. Which is ironic and part of their inside joke because as we know she is far from a Saint.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But I actually think this is a reference to a John Hughes movie called The Great Outdoors, a movie about bear attacks believe it or not. In the opening scene the say Our Lady of Victory, Pray for Us.
We already know Chris Storer has said Hughes movies are a big source of inspiration, specifically in season 2. He included songs from movies like Pretty in Pink, National Lampoons Vacation, and he even gave Kevin McCalliper McCallister from Home Alone a shout out.
Tumblr media
Yes. Even more Bears and Fish. So bear with me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Great Outdoors is about a family from Chicago that goes on a trip to a cabin and the mother's sister and her husband, who they don't really get along with, invite themselves on the trip. At the start of the movie the dad tells them all a scary story about a man eating bear that he saw through the window and shot at but is still on the loose.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Bear also starts off with a man going face to face with a bear. The bulk of the movie is about the two families not getting along, but by the end of it, the mythological bear appears and chases them into their cabin and attacks them, but they end up scaring it away and then they all get along and things work out between them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first Bear attack after their prayer was with Mikey and Donna
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The second Bear attack was with Carmy
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But this time, they were actually victorious. Because of Sydney. She managed to get the Bear away from them so they could keep going.
Tumblr media
She is their miracle. Right before Sydney ever appeared there was a Virgin Mary figure. Sydney is always portrayed like Mary with light behind her, even with her hair always covered and in blue and white. Mikey is viewed as a Jesus like figure, he died so that they could all fix their sins and the restaurant. He is this ghostly figure whose memory is everywhere. Sydney and Mikey tied together, and she is the one that takes on his last words. Let it rip.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Carmy views Syd as a miracle, he could barely even look at her when he said it. Finding the money in the tomato cans was a miracle, it allowed her to come back and be with him. Her coming to work for him in the first place was a miracle, she came in at the perfect time when he needed her the most. Their Mother of Victory was not their mother at all, but Sydney.
