In light of the ST official account changing profile pic specifically to this one I want to talk briefly about El’s independent arc…

An interesting quote from Casablanca (movie used as an inspo for S4) says:

“Can I tell you a story? It's about a girl who had just come to Paris from her home in Oslo. At the house of some friends, she met a man about whom she'd heard her whole life. A very great and courageous man. He opened up for her a whole beautiful world full of knowledge and thoughts and ideals. Everything she knew or ever became was because of him. And she looked up to him and worshipped him... with a feeling she supposed was love”

I think this quote reflects quite well El’s relationship with both Papa and Mike, and this is why her independent arc is so important. She has already started in S4 with Papa but in S5 we really need to see her freeing herself from the male figures she latched onto when she didn’t know any better. Through the seasons we see Hopper showing her what a real father figure is supposed to be like and Max showing her what a genuine bond between two people is supposed to feel like, especially when her powers aren’t involved. Instead, the relationship she has with Mike and Papa is very dependent on whether she has her powers or not. And since she connected with these two male figures before becoming her own person it makes sense for her to complete her arc without them.

Dirty Dancing

Jim Hopper x AFAB! Reader One day I'll write a story which actually has strange things happening but today is not that day. Bob didn't die, Eleven closed the rift at the end of Season 2 everyone is happy, leave me alone. I'm a Jopper fan 'til I die, but not for the purposes of this. Set 1987 - Jim is approx 44/45, reader is approx 30/31.

Warnings: Swearing, p in v sex, lots of references to Hopper's size, creampie, multiple orgasms, slightly rough Hopper, cock bulging, age gap, nicknames - baby, babygirl.

_______________________________________________

Jim has been oddly detached and quiet since yesterday evening. The stars had aligned along with your busy schedules and you’d managed to have a rare date night, going to the movies to watch ‘Dirty Dancing'. You thought he had enjoyed it, seeming engrossed rather than trying to get under the skirt of your dress like normal, but when you asked him what he thought on the drive home he simply shrugged and went to bed.

The following morning he’s still in his funk, not saying a word, departing for work with a distracted kiss to your cheek, a far cry from his usual passionate goodbyes that often left him running late and you in a state of undress.

His attitude bothers you all the way to the Diner.

“How was date night?” Donna asks you cautiously when you arrive, instantly noticing the way you fling your purse to the side and how you punch your card in with slightly more force than necessary.

“Well, I thought it went great, I really enjoyed the movie, evidently Jim’s experience of the evening was vastly different.” You rant, trying to tie up your apron, before giving up, elbows resting on the counter, head bowed in frustration.

“He didn’t like it?”

“I’m guessing he didn’t, but how would I know? He’s barely said two words to me.” You mumble despondently, the whole thing has left you feeling rattled, you and Jim fought plenty but you’d never been given the cold shoulder without a good reason. Donna opens her mouth to speak but is interrupted by Joyce coming in to collect her usual lunch order to share with Bob.

“Hey! How was the date ni-?” She greets you excitedly, cutting off at the look on your face, and Donna’s frantic shaking of her head. “What happened?”

“Jim hasn’t spoken to her since the movie.” Donna stage whispers, hastily departing to wipe down tables at your glare. 

“Hop’s not talking to you?” Joyce asks in concern, sitting on one of the vinyl stools.

“Apparently not.” You grunt, making up Bob’s sandwich.

“Did you have an argument?”

“No, we went out, we watched ‘Dirty Dancing’ then he was just off with me and still is.” You snap, knife ripping through the slice of bread you had been buttering, Joyce reaches across taking your shaking hand in hers. “Sorry Joyce, I didn’t mean to -” You trail off gesturing at her apologetically, she gives you a small understanding smile in return.

“Bob and I went to see ‘Dirty Dancing’ last week, and I think I know what’s bothering Hop - he feels old.” She says softly.

“Old?” You ask, feeling lost.

“Sweetie, you gotta remember Hopper, and I -” She adds with a slight wince, “- we were in our twenties in the sixties, the stuff they do in the film, the dances, we were doing that years ago. I think maybe it’s made him feel his age.”

“That's ridiculous! You and Jim aren’t old.” You say laughing.

“But we’re not young either, certainly not as young as you” She reminds you gently.

When you and Hopper had started dating a year ago it sent shockwaves through Hawkins, which was ironic considering all the other crazy shit that had happened, kids going missing left, right and center, secret government lab, literal demon creatures crawling out of the ground. Oh no, all that was nothing compared to the chief of police dating a woman 14 years his junior, 29 to his 43 at the time, never mind that you were a fully consenting adult, and you were the one that had pursued him.

Jim couldn’t for the life of him work out why ‘a sweet young thing like you’ could ever want ‘a grumpy, fat, miserable, old guy like him’, you couldn’t give him a proper answer, all you knew was that you loved him and there wasn’t a single thing he could do or say that would change your mind.

"So what should I do to make him feel less old?” You ask Joyce somewhat desperately.

“I might have a suggestion.” She grins wickedly, leaning in close.

_______________________________________________

The plan was in place. Jane was staying at Max’s for another evening.You had primped and prepped yourself, wearing a dress not too dissimilar from Penny’s red halterneck in the film. The wine was poured, a couple of glasses already consumed for Dutch courage, you’d thrown pieces of coloured cloth over the table lamps to give the cabin an orange-reddish glow, and finally you had one of Jim’s favorites from his vinyl collection queued up and ready; Solomon Burke’s Rock ‘N Soul. You wring your hands nervously upon hearing the truck pull up outside, straightening out your dress, and quickly rechecking your hair in the small mirror on the wall as Jim tiredly trudges in toeing his boots off without looking at you.

“Hey baby, sorry I’m a little late Callahan screwed up a report and I -” He trails off finally glancing up at you, brows creased slightly in confusion, as he surveys you and the cabin. “ - what’s all this?” 

“I know what’s been bothering you since yesterday, and I want you to know that I understand why, and I want to help.” You say softly, approaching him, going up on bare tiptoes to kiss him gently. He returns the kiss eagerly albeit somewhat surprised, a large hand coming up to cup your cheek.

“Baby, I'm at a loss here.” He murmurs against your lips, but allows you to pull him by his belt to the centre of the room nonetheless.

“Joyce said the film last night might have made you feel - nostalgic, and I want to show you that you’re not down and out just yet Jim Hopper.” You purr, leaning away to put the record on, Cry to Me filling the room. “Dance with me?” You ask quietly, unable to keep the pleading edge out of your voice.

Jim lets out a shaky breath, as you loop your arms around his neck, your height difference making him lean down slightly, chest to chest, his strong hands splayed across the top and small of your back.

You weren’t one hundred percent sure how to move so you simply rocked your hips, letting the music take control, running your fingers through the hair at the nape of Jim’s neck. He sighs softly, eyes closing at your touch, and you smile as you feel him start to move along with you. You experimentally lean back, pressing into his grip, he follows you lips tracing against your throat, before bringing you close again. You’re both smiling now, swaying more, his pelvis flush with yours, grinding against each other. You unbutton his police shirt, the fabric falling forgotten to the floor, leaving him in just a tight white vest, hands wandering again tracing his muscles stopping just shy of crotch. 

“Tease.” He rumbles.

“Not teasing baby, just dancing.” You say sweetly.

Jim’s touch snakes from the small of your back to the flesh of your ass, gripping firmly, using his hold to hook one of your legs up, slotting his broad thigh into the gap, smirking wickedly when you gasp at the pressure against your clit, the material of your panties shifting with Jim’s movements.

“Hop -” You sigh dreamily, as he uses his strength to rock you back and forth.

“This is how we used to do it in the good old days, baby.” He says, voice gravelly. “You’d hold your best girl tight, dancing nice and close.” He grips you harder for emphasis, dress half bunched up around your waist, fingers digging into the soft swell of your ass.

“I’m your best girl?” You ask softly, clinging onto his shoulders, gyrating slightly as your head falls back.

Jim lifts you up suddenly, your legs automatically locking around his thick hips, breath catching in your throat at the look of desire in his eyes. 

“My best everything.” He whispers before bringing you to his lips in a searing kiss, tongue licking languidly into your mouth. You reach up, pulling at the straps of your halterneck until they come undone, the dress slipping past your bare breasts. Hopper groans, nipping at your earlobe, your jaw line, your throat, you can feel his hardness pressed to your center straining against his slacks.

He carries you to the bedroom, lowering you gently to the bed, pupils blown wide as he steps back to watch you pull the dress off your lower half, taking your panties with it, leaving your glistening core on display.

“Shit baby, I am one lucky son of a bitch.” He breathes, yanking his vest over his head, you crawl towards him on your knees, unbuckling his belt, both of you working with frantic hands to get his pants and underwear down.

Jim wraps his arms around you again, manhandling you with ease to rest against the pillows, his large frame dwarfing you. Your kisses are messy, verging on desperation, hands petting each other heavily, hips bucking with need. 

He rubs his thick cock over your dripping slit, and you let out a soft moan, back arching up into his strong chest, nipples peaked and sensitive.

“This all for me, baby girl?” He hums, grinning as you nod wordlessly, rocking the swollen head of his dick against your aching pussy, slipping in just an inch before pulling back again.

“Don’t tease me Jim.” You pout, hands on his ass trying to bring him closer.

“Not teasing baby, just dancing.” He coos smugly, filling you with a single thrust that has you crying out, cunt clenching at the delicious stretch.

His hips are flush to your own, the coarse hairs at the base of his cock tickling against your clit, heavy balls slapping your ass with each drag and hit. Hopper is marking up the delicate skin of your neck with multiple hickies, like you’re teenagers, the harsh suck and gentle soothing lick sends you higher, a fresh surge of wetness coating his cock in a ring of cream.

“I can feel you squeezing me baby.” He growls, muscular arm braced against the headboard, driving him harder and deeper into your fluttering cunt.

“Hop!” You squeak, unable to do anything other than grip his shoulders, anchoring you to him through the onslaught of pounding thrusts. You feel your slick dribbling out, pussy squelching obscenely, being made to fit around Jim’s hard length.

“You gonna cum for me baby girl?” He asks, panting, the large hand that was gripping your hip moving to stroke over your swollen clit. 

“J-Jim…” You whine brokenly, orgasm rushing through you like a flash-flood, wrapping your legs around his hips again, cock hitting you relentlessly.

“Yes - shit - so good, my best girl.” He groans, flipping you suddenly so you’re on top, limp like a rag doll as Jim squeezes your hips in a bruising hold, rutting up into you. “You’re getting my balls wet baby.” He chuckles, voice strained, you can only whimper, nails digging into his chest, back arched, skin covered in a light sheen of sweat.

He sits up, strong arms wrapped tight around your back, jackhammering his cock so deep you feel your belly concave with the bulge. You’re keening into his mouth, tongues sliding against each other, your stomach tightening again with a telltale warmth.

“Jim - I’m - oh my god.” You stammer weakly, foreheads pressed together.

“That’s it baby girl cum with me, let me fill you up.” He says roughly, grunting as you clamp and spasm around his cock once more, drawing out his own release, spurting thick heavy loads deep within you.

There’s a vague ringing in your ears, and you register that the record has long stopped playing, the only sound in the cabin being your light gasps and Jim’s staggered breathing. He kisses you tenderly, as he pulls out, dick twitching at the sight of his seed dripping from your puffy cunt.

“I love you so much baby.” He murmurs, cradling your face, laying back against the pillows, with you still sprawled listless on top of him. 

“I love you Jim.” You smile blissfully, pressing kiss after kiss to his lips. 

“Sorry for being a grump.” He sighs.

“Hop - I don’t care how old you are, I’d have loved you when you were twenty, and I’ll love you just as much as I do now when you’re sixty.” You say sincerely, giggling when he grimaces at the word ‘sixty’. “There’s no one else I’ll ever want.”

“You keep saying sweet things like that, we’ll be dancing again.” He warns, hands slipping down to squeeze your ass.

“Sure you don’t need a rest, old man?” You tease, choking on a moan, as Jim presses his rock hard cock back into your tight wet heat. 

“You’re in for it now baby girl.”

[byersfanclub]

are we seriously arguing about byler being allowed to kiss/makeout again? if stancy and jancy and jopper and milkvan were all allowed to makeout why can’t byler? y’all are so fucking weird, two boys are allowed to have desire for one another— scratch that, PEOPLE are ALLOWED to have desire for one another. stop twisting ours words. byler deserves to kiss just as much as all the other couples do, it’s not suddenly weird or inappropriate because they’re gay or and if you wanna use the argument that they’re minors then you better be against every other ship minus jopper kissing. goodbye. im sick of this argument.

[crsentfairy]

🦋✨ leave 5 facts about 3 of your ocs and pass them on to other people, asking them about an oc of your choice or let them choose what they want !! ✨🦋

GISELLE CONNOR

she's naturally a wavy brunette. she used to have full on curls when she was a young girl. she burned her hair once trying to straighten it for picture day in 7th grade. its been wispy and mostly heat damaged since.

back in 9th grade, giselle maliciously broke her mother's phone charger after an especially bad argument. she will never forget the ass whooping she got for that.

her favorite snacks are pop-tarts and almond joys!

giselle's nickname, "little" GiGi (now just gigi) was directly given to her by her late grandmother, Gionella aka "big GiGi". they had an incredible bond, and giselle was devastated in gionella's passing. she didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.

her favorite TV shows are Snapped, Breaking Bad, and Botched!

EDEN STCLAIR

eden was born and raised in Darien, Connecticut.

she's second generation to foreign immigrants! her grandparents are from Artibonite, Haiti. eden is haitian. she is not bilingual, however she can understand what's being said in creole but can only respond in english.

she was originally a twin, but ended up consuming the other one in the womb, making eden an only child. her mother, Amienne, never made her aware of this, though. her daughter's bleeding heart wouldn't be able to take it.

eden's never raised her voice in anger before in her entire life. she is incredibly soft-spoken and gentle. loud noises, physical threats and/or general aggression makes her cry.

she unofficially adopted a little wild rabbit by the lake she would sit at every afternoon when she was nine years old. she named him Jopper, and loved him with all of her heart. she never took to taking him away from his real home in the woods, and bring him into her home as an act of displacement and ownership. little eden learned beautifully from her mother that love should be an act of devotion and understanding, rather than possessiveness.

JAIDEN SPENCER

jaiden was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. he was raised in Norwalk for most of his life. (him and eden never crossed paths whatsoever.)

the thick rimmed reading glasses he wears often gets him mistaken for someone smarter he actually is. in reality, he just likes to lie to people unprovoked. he's a liar.

jaiden is bajan-trinidadian!

his lucky number is 4 and 32, which are multiples of each other.

the best moments he can recall in his earlier school life ironically were when he was in summer school, and in the boys & girls club. he just loved causing mischief in both programs.

[katlandry]

No one asked but I did this on Twitter & Insta so here’s my Speak Now TV songs that remind me of my fave ships/characters 🫶

Mine - Ronance

I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter, she is the best thing that’s ever been mine

Sparks Fly - Ronance

You’re the kinda reckless that should send me running but I kinda know that I won’t get far

Back to December - Lumax

Wish I’d realised what I had when you were mine, I’d go back to December and make it alright

The Story of Us - S4 Jancy

This is looking like a contest, of who can act like they care less, but I liked it better when you were on my side

Enchanted - Ronance & Jancy

These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon, I was Enchanted to meet you. Please don’t be in love with someone else

Long Live - Byler

Long live all the mountains we moved, I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

Ours - Ronance

And it’s not theirs to speculate if it’s wrong, your hands are tough but they are where mine belong, and I’ll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you

Superman - Byler

And I’ll be okay, I always forget to tell you I love you, I loved you from the very first day

Electric Touch - Ronance

All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life, got a feelin’ your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life

When Emma Falls in Love - Nancy

‘Cause she’s the kinda book that you can’t put down, like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town

I Can See You - Ronance

I’ve been watchin’ you for ages, and I spend my time tryin’ not to feel it, but what would you do if I went to touch you now? What would you do if they never found us out?

Castles Crumbling - Steve

They used to cheer when they saw my face, now I fear I have fallen from grace

Foolish One - Will/Byler

Oh, you haven’t written me or called but goodbye screamin’ in the silence. And the voices in my head are tellin’ me why, ‘cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings. I’ll get your longing glances, but she’ll get your ring

Timeless - Jopper

I’m gonna love you when our hair is turnin’ grey, we’ll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we’ve made and you’ll say “oh my, we really were timeless”

[theladyrebecca2]

Hi! Love your review. Now I understand much better what happens. I have a question about Jopper's last scene. I'd like to know if you remember when it happens. I've read that they say goodbye right before the ending (Henry meeting the kids). Is that correct? And where do they say goodbye?

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed the play :))

I can't believe I forgot to include their last scene together, thank you for reminding me!!

Whilst I'm not 100% on this, I would agree that the final Jopper scene happens just before they show us the lab kids/Henry after a short time jump. :) I believe Hopper and Joyce meet at Melvalds in their last scene, which isn't a general store back then, it's a bar. It crops up in quite a few scenes throughout (the core four's parents all go drinking and dancing there). They obviously wanted to include it in some way, so that's yet another Easter Egg!

Hopper approaches Joyce there. I can't remember if she's already working there as a sort of after-school gig, or if she's just hanging there by herself. But they're alone. There's been tension building up between them the whole time, and in this scene they're softer and more open with other (on a completely random note, I also just suddenly remembered that Joyce casually feels up Hopper's bicep at one point earlier in the play when he's stood next to her, lol) Hopper's relationship with his dad has improved, and he tells Joyce he's actually got a position at the police academy, so he'll be leaving for a while (I assume this ties in with him eventually meeting his wife/ going to Vietnam, etc). I think Joyce talks about how her plan with the play failed, and that she'll be staying in Hawkins for now.

They say goodbye to each other, and Hopper walks away off-stage into the darkness. It's totally "right person, wrong time." </3

[gayofthefae]

What is the emphasis on letters this season?

Jopper: ransom-style letter

Max: goodbye letters

ElMike: “From,”

Byler: “meanwhile El has like a book of letters from you”

Jancy: college letter(s)

It’s kind of funny actually because in a lot of these cases what Mike says is actually the OPPOSITE of true because not only are letters not inherently romantic, but most of the romantic couple actually represent or prefer a lack of letters from “I don’t want a letter” to “the moment I sent for her, I sentenced her to death” to Jonathan pretending not to have received a letter and not writing Nancy much to Mike’s own more negative “you can’t even write it” and “meanwhile El has like a book of letters from you”

[henrysglock]

I have two questions about tfs.

First, in the lab after Bob and Joyce rescue hopper Joyce caresses Bob's fingers and asks if he's cold. Then when Bob has the entirety of the buildings resources at his fingertips he quickly chooses water to scatter the demodogs. Those aren't the only things but the biggest that make me wonder, did anything happen with Bob that could have forged any kind of connection between him and the upside down or mind flayer?

And second, did Henry say "I'm sorry"?

Bob's involvement was really similar to Jopper's, tbh. He didn't have any special experiences outside being part of their investigation. He was Henry's understudy for John the Witch Boy in DOTM, though, which is interesting a) for Subtext Reasons and b) irt Patty playing John's romantic interest, Barbara Allen. So. Do what you will with the h3ntty sibling coding...miIeven type beat.

Henry did apologize, actually. He apologizes to Patty when they have their little telepathic conversation in the lab. Henry's about to give himself over to the Mindflayer to make contact, which Brenner wants, and he says goodbye to Patty first, then he says he's "sorry. [He's] sorry for everything" (likely referring to what happened with him, her, and her father in the attic in Act I). Patty goes on to convince him not to make contact, and everything spirals from there.

[wibble-wobbegong]

in s1 el and mike call each other family (cousin and brother) and it ends with el dying and mike running back to will. the parallels between mike and hopper begin.

in s2 el and mike immediately start dating despite barely knowing each other and we only see them together romantically and happily in the last 30 minutes of the final episode. this is the only solid season for midleven proof and it’s overshadowed by the crazy together scene, the super spy scene, and mike’s monologue to will. hopper is established as el’s dad and mike is still paralleled to him.

in s3 everybody who knows about el and mike’s relationships calls it weird or unnatural or bullshit or gross or controlling. mike and el are “happy” for the first episode and then there are problems again. el has a self discovery arc with max (not hopper, not mike, you). she dumps him and tells max that he’s her first boyfriend. mike denies saying he loves el and during their final goodbye kiss, where she tells him she loves him too, he stands there wide eyed and unmoving as the gay coming out song plays. mike is paralleled to hopper through his letter. AGAIN.

in s4 mike’s ENTIRE ARC is about not being able to tell el he loves her and it ends with him lying to her and saying everything she didn’t wanna hear in his confession. he spent the entire season in the back of a van with his will whose entire arc is about being IN LOVE WITH HIM. the season ends with mike and will standing together while el walks away. mike still parallels hopper, not just in relation to el, but also now to the byers! byler parallels jopper.

how is there ANYONE doubting byler rn. be fucking fr i didn’t even list the niche stuff

[msquared1414]

I don’t think people realize that the “Heroes” song is now romantically coded because it was used for a Jopper “goodbye” and their reunion was romantic and it was used for a Byler “goodbye” and we only saw Mikes reaction out of the whole party. 

[sleazyjanet]

murray is a malewife and jopper’s housewife. he cooks, he cleans for them and they both kiss him goodbye when they go for work or whatever.

[theoriginalsapphic]

my favorite st ships and the taylor swift songs i associate them with.

Byler – Daylight

my love was as cruel as the cities I lived in / I’ll tell you the truth but never goodbye / I don’t want to look at anything else now that I saw you (I can never look away) / I don’t want to think of anything else now that I thought of you (things will never be the same) / threw out of our cloaks and our daggers because it’s morning now / I’ve sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night and now I see daylight / I once believed love would be burning red but it’s golden like daylight / you gotta step into the daylight and let it go

Lumax – This Love

hide tide came and brought you in / and I could go on and on / currents swept you out again / and you were just gone and gone / this love is good, this love is bad / lantern, burning, flickered in the night for only you / in losing grip on sinking ships / you showed up just in time / this love left a permanent mark / this love is glowing in the dark / this love is alive back from the dead / these hands had to let it go free / and this love came back to me

Jancy – Mine

I was a flight-risk with a fear of falling / wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts / you made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter / you learn my secrets and figure out why I’m guarded / you say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes / you saw me start to believe for the first time / braced myself for the goodbye because that’s all I’ve ever known / you said ‘I’ll never leave you alone’ / you’re the best thing that’s ever been mine

Jopper – invisible string

time, curious time / gave me no compasses, gave me no signs / time, mystical time/ cutting me open, then healing me fine / were there clues I didn’t see? / something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire / chains around my demons / wool to brave the seasons / hell was the journey but it brought me heaven / one single thread of gold tied me to you

Elmax – New Romantics

we show off our different scarlet letters, trust me, mine is better / we're so young, but we're on the road to ruin / we play dumb, but we know exactly what we're doing / but every night with us is like a dream / heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly / we are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet / we team up, then switch sides like a record changer / baby, we’re the new romantics / the best people in life are free

Ronance – Treacherous

put your lips close to mine, as long as they don't touch / out of focus, eye to eye, 'til the gravity's too much / and I'll do anything you say if you say it with your hands / this hope is treacherous / this daydream is dangerous/ I can't decide if it's a choice getting swept away / forever going with the flow but you're friction / your name has echoed through my mind / nothing safe is worth the drive and I would follow you home / this slope is treacherous and I like it

[givehimthemedicine]

Choose your favorite option: Byclair or Byler? Boyce or Jopper? Jancy or Jargyle? Murray x Mr. Clark or Murray x Alexei? Henderhop or Hopclair?

not sure if these are all romantic or duos? or is it just like whatever. but:

Byclair. really need more byclair in 5. the cereal aisle and the goodbye hug? a delight

Boyce!!! Bob was too wholesome for this world and I'm a Hopper anti this week. ily Bob <3

Jargyle. I wish Jancy no harm but I just don't think about them tbh

Murray x Alexei. the chemistry was there. they giggle about you in Russian right in front of you btw.

oh the last one is hard. both platonic. but I'll say Hopclair because of the mega bonding El and Lucas have to do as a result of the Max situation.

[blueeandyellowmakesgreen]

argyle or joyce for the character thing

omg helloooOO

im gonna do both because i can

argyle:

Why I like them

hes hilarious, intelligent and the only ‘normal’ friend outside of the group’s trauma circle and they really need that, especially jonathan. i think sometimes people forget jonathan didnt have friends back in hawkins so im really glad he met argyle

Why I don’t

you are Legally Not Allowed to dislike argyle

Favorite episode (scene if movie/book)

4-episode 2 for putting mike in his place at the airport with that hug

Favorite season/movie

4? i guess

Favorite line

‘GOT ME STRESSED AND ITS NOT EVEN MY GIRLFRIEND’

Favorite outfit

i cant Remember. i know he has funky pants

OTP

him and weed xxx (jargyle’s cool too)

Brotp

jargyle..!! but id love to see el and argyle interact more tbh

Head Canon

mike gets argyle’d offscreen and thats why mike dislikes him bc he was able to psychoanalyze the kid while high. also casually admits hes queer which makes mike spit out his 7 up

Unpopular opinion

i think that since s5 is gonna be hawkins based with the chars as the center, i do think argyle is gonna be seen driving back to cali in the first ep. brief goodbyes are said and hes off since jonathan and el insist he go back before he gets into any unnecessary danger. theyd do that

A wish

he doesnt die and is confirmed queer in s5. maybe he goes back to cali as soon as s5 starts i honestly see that happening

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

doesnt die i guess!!

Why I like them

love of my life. shes SO smart and cares about her kids so much. shes so loyal and the reason why the men in the show even get anywhere and i need that acknowledged in the show how shes always right i NEED people to stop doubting my woman

Why I don’t

no

Favorite episode (scene if movie/book)

god i dont remember but it was the episode where she argued with lonnie in s1 and had that speech where she was never going to stop looking for will. that was a chilling moment for her, and a runner up is her talking to will through the lights. honestly joyce fucking shined throughout the entire season, which leads to my next answer for the next question!

Favorite season/movie

1!

Favorite line

again, going back to her speech against lonnie!

Favorite outfit

watching her and murray in s4 was actually really fun!

Head Canon

she played dnd with will, just the two of them when he was younger!

Unpopular opinion

uhhh i really didnt like how her reunion with el was more significant in s4 than it was with jonathan and will, her own kid who she went to hell and back for,, a very miniscule part of me is just salty abt that fjjdjd i miss the byers family interacting okkk

A wish

that men stop doubting her 🤡

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen
