SEASON 4 SPIDER WARNINGS - (tried to be as vague as possible but potential spoilers)
time stamps are as close as I could get them and this is hopefully all of them but I apologize if I missed one!
Episode 1-
- 46:43- 46:53 character is in the woods and sees a grandfather clock and as they are walking towards it you see a swarm or spiders come out of the clock and through the glass. Once you hear them bump into another character and they ask if their okay you can look.
- 1:10:48-1:10:59 character is running away and sees a table covered with flies and spiders, when you hear the buzzing of flies look away. Very brief but gross.
Episode 2-
- 1:09:17-1:09:30 character falls into open grave and spiders come out of a skull he sees when he turns his head; very brief only 5ish spiders
- 1:11:40 you hear spider/bug sounds but don’t see any and it’s more just creepy crawly sounds not spider specific
Episode 3-
- Clear of spiders:)
Episode 4-
- 52:58- 53:12 character tries to turn on faucet for a bath and the water doesn’t come on, instead it pans over to the drain where a swarm or spiders come out of it. You see them once then it shows the character then you see them again, after the character runs down stairs you don’t see it again. They go back to the Tub and it’s just water.
- 54:27-54:41 character walks up to attic and looks around, not until he looks up do you see a single spider from the ceiling. When you hear “it had cursed out town” you can look.
- 1:09:38- 1:09:52 character is walking and you see all these small spider egg sacks and they step on one and as they lift their foot you hear and see a million baby spiders come out of it. It’s shows it twice. When you hear “come back to me” you can look. Though your can hear creepy crawly stuff through the scene but not spider specific sounds.
Episode 5-
- 49:40-50:11 no spiders but spider webs
- 50:39- character reaches their hand into a air vent (with webs in it) and pulls out a glass jar with a dead spider in it and looks at it for a while. While doing so this character has a spider crawling up their arm which they don’t notice at first but when they do their scream and shake it off and drop the jar with the dead one in it which you see for a split second. Safe when you hear Nancy say “what’s wrong?” You see webs in the characters hair but no spiders
Episode 6-
- Spider free:)
Episode 7-
- 22:43-23:10 a character goes into a room and opens a floor vent and sticks their hand inside and a spider crawls up his arm and he looks at it for a while. When you hear “more than that” you’re good to look.
- 1:23:28- 1:23:46 look away at “gods of our world” you see the character looking a spiders in a jar then you see them drawing a spider then it shows the jar spider again. When you hear “but the human world was disrupting this harmony” you can look.
>>> hope this helps! See you all for volume 2!!

near the end of s1ep5 there's a dying deer crying out it seems it was hit by a car and left to agonize, they were gonna shoot it to put the poor thing out of its misery but something quickly snatches it away, it's obviously computerized but still realist and painful to watch. Highkey upset that no one mentioned this before and that I had to see it myself

Not exactly a toy, and it's the owner of the item that chooses to destroy it, but early in season 3 Will destroys his "Castle Byers" fort. Also, Joyce smashes a porcelain doll in season 4, but it didn't belong to anyone.

There are MANY jumpscares ALL through the entire series. Sometimes mere scene-transitions are jumpscares simply because the 'from' scene is quiet and the 'to' scene is loud and abrupt.

At the second to last episode of Season two, Bob Newby, boyfriend to Joyce Byers gets eaten by the demogorgons and since the way the teeth on a demogorgon is, there is a scene where Bob's chest is covered in holes, but you can only see half his chest, but it is still incredibly disturbing for me.

While the show fails to properly address it, a significantly large chunk of viewers consider one character as having emotionally cheated on his girlfriend multiple times with his male best friend. If this has happened to you, then you may very well pick up on the same subtext and be triggered by it.

[SPOILER WARNING] Season 3, a character destroys his childhood fort. It is shown throughout the seasons to have been one of his favorite places, and it was a sad scene to watch if you ask me. It wasn't priceless in money value, but was very much important emotionally. I guess it depends what you meant by that question.

It’s not confirmed or stated, but Robin is heavily implied to be autistic (she struggles with social cues, has “no filter”, is sensitive to loud noises and uncomfortable clothing, and took longer to learn to walk than average as a child), and I consider her to be good representation. It’s rare to see an adult autistic woman who’s funny, confident, and capable in a TV show.

S5e6 someone says “disassociate” while referring to dissociation. They are not the same thing. DisASSociate is to stop associating with someone or something. To Dissociate is to zone out in a heavy, disordered way where you become detached from reality, identity, feelings, thoughts and/or your body. Everyone dissociates to some degree, aka zoning out, but it becomes a disorder when it impacts your ability to live life.

Billy had toxic masculinity forced on him after his parents divorced and his father verbally abuses him for crying. Jonathan details a time where he cried after his dad shot a rabbit, it’s not confirmed if he was ridiculed over it but it’s an easy inference to make and there’s talk of the dad being insensitive to Will’s emotions. El is ridiculed for crying but she's a girl and eventually kicks the ass of the main bully anyways.
