being called simon's work wife by johnny is all fun and games til you start spotting the man you've never formally met in the corner of your eye.
imagine being told by a pig-headed superior to make yourself useful and go get him some coffee only to immediately start apologizing, words spilling out of his pathetic mouth like water because your johnny-proclaimed husband's looming right behind you in guard dog mode.
you mumble out a thank you, even though you're not sure what for and he just tugs your name tag.
no one talks to my wife like that.
(forget about trying to clarify that it's work wife, he's got selective hearing.)
i think it's cute til it's not. til you're at a bar, drunk, and he shows up and takes you home. you wake up in a bed that smells of gunpowder and carbolic soap, in a shirt 3x your size and a pair of oversized sweats. when you check your phone, your friend's text reads, your husband is a scary man.
Stranger Things spoilers ahead but I need to talk about Jonathan Byers.
Jonathan, who took it upon himself to organize his baby brother’s funeral because his mother wasn’t doing it.
Jonathan, who dropped everything to *save* Will when he was presented with evidence that he wasn’t dead.
Jonathan, who could not physically bear to watch Will in pain even if it was necessary to free him from the mindflayer, and had to turn away so he didn’t have to see him suffer.
Jonathan, who never treated Will like he was annoying like Mike and Nancy or Lucas and Erica.
Jonathan, who truly *saw* how Will was acting around Mike and knew what it meant.
Jonathan, who admitted he had been distant and chose to be the one to reach across the distance and tell Will he would always love him no matter what.
Jonathan, who gave Will acceptance and reassurance without asking anything of him.
Jonathan, who realized in 1986 that his baby brother was queer and made sure he knew he was explicitly supported without outing him before he was ready.
Thinking about how, from what I can tell, Henry disapproved of Code Purple and instead of living on "New Earth" he chose to go back and stay on Actual Earth to try and help as many people survive as he could
