You know what? I’ve been thinking a lot about s4 and them turning Jonathan into a stoner and, in a way, vilifying him for it.
Like Joyce is made to look like she has no clue it’s happening and Will jabs at him for it at the end? The weed is shown to be his character losing the path he had with Nancy, pulling away, blahblahblah
LET MY BOY SMOKE.
Jonathan grew up with an asshole abusive father.
Jonathan’s brother went missing, turned up dead (so he had to have a FUNERAL for his KID BROTHER), and then his mom went off, what at the time, seemed like the deep end!
Jonathan was an outcast! He didn’t have friends until Nancy, not that we’re shown.
Jonathan almost lost his brother AGAIN.
Jonathan lost two possible father figures in his and his family’s lives IN A YEAR.
Jonathan was never listened to, experienced extreme life long trauma, and he DESERVES a coping mechanism.
Like of fucking course he would need to escape the anxiety of your kid brother and new kid sister seemingly always being in harms way?? And people you know or care about dying? And you having to always put the pieces back the fuck together?
My boy was stoned and for good fucking reason. I hate that they looked at him and made it out to be any different.
Not to MENTION the issue of making weed a Bad Drug when it has benefits to so many but im not willing to open that can of worms on the Duffers rn
Mike and Will having their gay googoogaga eyes moment in the van, Jonathan observing them and Argyle in the passenger seat in his purple palm tree delight trip just like this
I’ll be super real. I’m really glad someone told Murray his risotto was good. Murray work hard on his risotto and he was so nervous about everyone trying it. AND THEN everyone was super tense at dinner and he got scared that no one liked it. As per usual Argyle to save the day.
Also look at Murray in that apron. Idk but it feels natural.
