#regarding the ‘sherif puts eggos in a box in the woods’ scene the writers said that  #they haven’t written/planned season 2 but that they like the idea of putting those 2 characters together  #which I have to say I’m all about  #bc the implication has been ‘oh winona ryder will take her’  #or like ‘she’ll easily integrate into a house she’s been covertly staying in the basement of’  #and it just sounds a bit like ‘oh they’re mums - they can just take her in no problem’  #like that’s the purpose of mums  #and apparently there’s no problem with that scenario?  #and like no  #how about we put her in with Human Disaster Sherrif  #bc the problems with *that* scenario are narratively awesome  #a) he’s a Human Disaster but we know that last time he WAS functional was when he was caregiver to a daughter  #b) she is also a small Human Disaster and if she wanted to eat a box of eggos and not talk he’d probably be ‘OK then’  #and not be concerned with concepts outside her immediate physical safety for a while  #like Eleven does not need a suburban household who says ‘don’t do that its weird and upsetting’ when she does things  #it’d be kind of nice if she had an environment where someone was like ‘r u well-slept well-fed clean and safe right now?’  #‘OK then sit on the floor and be non verbal then that is 100% a-ok’  #(and he’d probably just be like ‘well I’ll just sit on the floor too then I guess’)  #what I’m doing here is making a ripley/newt parallel of human disasters who are better together  #and how ripley is a semi-functioning ptsd wreck but she’s still like ‘OK I’m washing your face'  #and I can see that dynamic playing out with eleven and hopper to my great satisfaction and entertainment
