for one dollar i challenge the stranger things fandom to sit and watch the show and talk about the canonical characters that are in said show and not the lala goofypants version youve created in your heads

been thinking about what the theme of the Christmas special could be. the baby’s probably going to arrive by then, and Alison and Mike are going to be dealing with being new parents. and tbh i hope the final episode is about new beginnings.
being the last-last episode, it’s not bound by the need to get everything back to the sitcom status quo (some examples: Thomas getting over his crush on Alison and immediately reverting, the Captain being reset to his full uniform). they’re ghosts, of course, so it’s in their nature, to an extent. but we’ve seen how much they’ve changed. it’s just that plot-wise, they can’t really progress that far until the very end bc it’s such a vital part of their characters. if there's a moment to disrupt the status quo, it might be here.
another handy point? you can start or at least indicate subplots that would otherwise be too hard to follow through.
so i think that could be the moment for Thomas to let go of his crush on Alison for real - and maybe realise he’s in love with Kitty (i mean, i think it’s not a coincidence that Kitty doesn’t consider him with a wince, like the others, in 5x02). and maybe - maybe - the Captain has had some time to let go of his dark memories and is feeling more confident in his identity so he starts seeing Pat, who has also had enough time to move on from Carol (unlikely, i know, but can one dream about a follow-up to that mistletoe moment from the first Christmas special). something for the others too, not necessarily of the romance kind.
everyone is struggling with the changes a bit, even if they’re for the best, there are worries and fears, and we don’t actually see where those subplots go and whether everything works out or not - but that’s the beauty of it, and it just keeps the show going in our heads, which would be a bittersweet but hopeful and fitting ending

To get rid of the Doodler, they needed to be radical. Code Purple was that radical plan, and it had worked. For a while. It just needed to work again. Which it would.
Lark was convinced that it would.
You’re either with us or against us, Nicky.
Welp. Guess that by that infallible logic, I’m against you. Sorry, guys.
Lark was sorry, too.
But feeling sorry had never been too big of an issue for him.
Or: Lark and Nick spend one last night together before shit hits the fan.
