us against the world

Sure, Mike asking Will why he lied about the painting would be awesome, but Mike thanking El about the painting, followed by a few scenes of confused dialogue and then next episode El asking Will why he would credit her for something he worked so hard on would be even better in my humble opinion

Max being a Will Byers defender so true.

thinking about magic steve who doesn't know he has magic.

he just happens to be in the right place at the right time and never seems to get too terribly injured.

and it's weird, because he got chewed on by bats and was like, yeah okay, and eddie did too and ended up in the hospital for months. and it seemed like eddie was as good as dead until steve appeared and basically willed the guy back to life.

and yeah, there are some gaps

in his childhood.

weird memories of hospital stays and rude staff.

and the weird gray rooms he'd be locked in.

and the way he got major creeps when anyone mentioned hawkins lab.

but that didn't mean anything. not really.

until he and eleven were "hanging out" not babysitting because eleven was NOT a baby. but hop still wasn't comfortable leaving her alone. anyways. they were hanging out. and eleven wouldn't quit staring at him.

"super girl, i don't mean to be rude but what are looking at? is there something on my face?"

she smiled softly "no. you look. familiar."

"i am. i've known hop for awhile now..."

"no. you look. like. seven. brother. he- he left the lab when i was young."

and if that didn't click a lot of things into place. "seven." he whispered to himself. thinking about how when he was a kid, he'd had buzzed hair when he was around 10-11, and how his parents wanted him to grow it out around his neck, and so he did.

he didn't want to question them, they'd always seemed detached and he didn't want to make it worse. and then he ended up liking it. so he kept the long hair. and how was he going to notice something on the back of his head?

"why are you rubbing your head?"

he hadn't even realized he was doing it.

el peered at him, gently moving his fingers from where he was scratching.

and there it was in all its glory.

"007."

“Why do you take so many pictures?” 

It’s a simple question. It should have a simple answer.

But Jonathan can only blink at El with a slightly dropped jaw when he taps him on the shoulder and asks. 

Here’s the thing. His family supports his passions, they fawn over his pictures, but none of them have ever really gotten it before. They know it makes him happy to hide behind a camera, that’s enough. They don’t understand why. Even Nancy hadn’t tried to ask. 

But El is asking. El wants to know. 

Jonathan mulls the question over for a second. He takes a lot of pictures, endless amounts actually. Pictures of things other people wouldn’t really care about. At least, they wouldn’t care the way he did. 

Why would Nancy care about a picture of a deer dozing in a patch of grass? How is she supposed to know that Hopper pointed it out to him, and both of them sat in the brush for a whole minute of silence just looking? 

When would his mother figure out that the reason he shot a picture of her half empty closet that day was because she had finally gathered the courage to throw out all of his father’s things? Why would she think that a half empty closet would ever be the ultimate sign of liberation? 

How can he explain the importance of having the picture of Will at Christmas opening his very first art set? The only thing Jonathan remembers from that Christmas is the way his parents screamed at each other all night long. 

But he has the picture of Will’s little gap toothed smile, which proves they were happy at some point that day. 

“It’s hard to hold onto good moments. Hard to explain them,” He finally says, the words feeling small and insignificant for what the pictures actually symbolize, “The pictures…they’re memories,” 

“Memories,” El echoes, staring at his camera with new found interest. She holds her hand out and he gives it over easily. El twists and turns it, looking over every inch with the wonder that she has for everything new. 

If he could, he would take a picture of her right now. 

“Can you teach me?” She asks, looking up at him with a distant slight smile, “I want to hold onto good moments too,” 

“Of course I can,” Jonathan agrees instantly. He would give El just about anything she ever asked for, the way he would give Will the entire world if he could. Somehow in just a few short months, she has become just as precious to him as the brother he’s known all his life. 

She beams briefly, hiding her smile behind the camera and taking a quick snapshot of him. 

“I want to hold onto this one first,”

El Hopper Byers ready to kick your ass

willel wouldn't be as hard hitting or beautiful of a relationship if it were revealed that they've been 'real' (biological) siblings this whole time because it implies that one can only have an irreplaceable and out of this world bond if they're actually related, when often family that you find turns out to be the family that you understand and love the most. i like the little element of destiny that comes with their relationship, its because they cant have one of them without the other. if will hadn't suffered, el wouldn't have been found. if el hadn't been found, will would've suffered in the upside down. i like how they represent yin and yang and the good and bad in both of them mesh together and form a bond that makes them both feel beautiful and loved. i like that there's a little element of fate in their relationship, i like how they were meant to meet and meant to understand and know each other in a way nobody else would, and how they were meant to love each other and see parts of each other nobody else could. but if the duffers make their chosen bond as something that was planned and only relevant or important because they are actual siblings, i will be mad at them. that spoils the agency and appeal of will and el as siblings who found each other and developed a bond out of this world.

Kinda love the fact that nearly every time El looks at Dustin, he just smiles at her, for her. It’s so heart-warming <3
