Production on Season 3 of the Netflix original series "Stranger Things" has begun. If you're anything like me, you have been waiting for this moment since the second season 2 ended. A sci-fi monster show with five child actors as the stars may not seem good on paper, but nearly every single thing about the show is worth obsessing over.
1. You own Stranger Things merch
A cool Hawkins tee shirt, a ST hoodie or the classic "mornings are for coffee and contemplation" mug, you've purchased (or at least considered purchasing) some of it.
2. You've watched all Stranger Things-related interviews/late night shows
Power rankings of Stranger Things cast interviews:
3. The Truth About Steve And Jean-Ralphio
2. Millie Bobby Brown Raps s Stranger Things Season 1
1. The Upside Down Medley (Stranger Things Cast)
(Disclaimer: If the Upside Down Medley doesn't bring immense joy to your heart, you're a lost cause.)
3. You binged season 2 in less than 48 hours
Clear the schedule, we are going to Hawkins.
4. You follow the cast on Instagram
Because as great as they are on screen, they are really cool kids off-screen, too.
5. You know who Jacob Sartorius is because of Millie
This fellow apparently has some sort of actual claim to fame, but you probably have only ever heard his name because he dates (dated?) Millie Bobby Brown.
6. You've considered getting the 011 tattoo on your arm
I have always said there isn't much I'd want on my body forever, but I've got to be honest, I think I'd be OK with my brittle, wrinkly skin having this on it.
7. And shaving your head
Don't get me wrong, Eleven looks bitchin' with and without the shaved head. But her amount of badassery in season 1 with the shaved head is enough to make you consider.
8. You get personally offended when someone says they don't like the show
And it honestly will become your life's mission to make them love it like you do. If they don't, you know they're a mouthbreather.
9. You genuinely want what is best for the kids in the show and hope they are handling the spotlight well
10. You're OK with the fact that Christmas lights go beyond celebrating the holidays
Every December when you set up the Christmas tree, you'll be halfway in the Christmas spirit and halfway looking for contact from the upside down.
11. Like any true ST lover, you know you actually can't love it more than Eleven loves her Eggos
Eleven's love for Eggos (and Dustin's love for pudding) goes well beyond the love we experience for the show... Well, it may be pretty close.
Season 3, we can't wait.
