I’m Al. A CS student who somehow got way too attached to Stranger Things over the years. It started as casual watching and somehow turned into late-night rewatches, overthinking scenes, and caring way more about fictional characters than I probably should..

Season 5 changed how I feel about the show. I still like it, I still respect what it meant to me, but I’m not as deep into it anymore. The ending made things hit differently, especially knowing where certain characters end up.

Outside of that, I spend most of my time coding, learning random tech stuff, and keeping to myself. Pretty low-key. Mostly just here to enjoy the fandom, help clean things up, and quietly exist.

⚡ Stranger Things Stuff

Favorite characters

• Eleven (my roman empire. I literally cannot shut up about her 😭)
• Will (he's me, I'm him)
• Robin (hey dingus)
• Nancy
• Mike (yeah he gets hate but whatever)

Favorite season

Season 3. People love to roast it but I genuinely don’t care because the whole Starcourt arc was peak vibes. The colors, the soundtrack, it just lives in my head rent free and no one’s taking it from me 😭

Favorite moments

• El vs Henry 1979
• El taking down the military helicopter
• The OG iconic El flipping the van because that scene literally rewired my brain

💀 About the Ending (I hate that I have to write this)

Season 5 ruined my ability to rewatch the show the same way. Knowing how it ends for Eleven makes everything hurt more. Watching her fight, bleed, lose her childhood, lose her peace, just to end up separated, alone, and essentially erased from the life she fought for feels cruel.

They framed it as heroic. As poetic. As a “necessary sacrifice.” But honestly? It just feels unfair. She deserved to live. To rest. To grow up. To exist without saving the world every five minutes. And instead, she becomes the cost of the ending.

I don’t know if I can rewatch early seasons without that bitterness sitting in the back of my head. I’m not as obsessed anymore, not because I stopped caring, but because caring started to hurt too much. And that sucks, because this show meant so much to me.

😀 Why I'm Here

I’m usually adding images, fixing stuff, and cleaning up pages. Basically just trying to make the wiki a better, cleaner, less-confusing place for everyone. Also so I have a place to dump my ST brainrot without bothering innocent people in real life.
