In honor of that ST interview, hereās how I think the party babysitting would go
Will would probably be the 2nd best babysitter in my opinion. Maybe itās because of all the fics Iāve read where they write Will as being very sweet to Holly, but I think heās soft and gentle enough to be able to handle some calm little kids. I could see him drawing while they colorā¦but I doubt heād be able to handle a bunch of rowdy brrrraaaatttssss
Lucas is definitely the best sitter imo, and if youāre wondering why I didnāt put him firstā¦I didnāt think about that š but I think heād be the best because heās firm, yet caring. I think heād be especially good at taking care of kids with higher energy. Heād know to take them outside and get their energy out before bedtime, and heās generally a really responsible person. Also heās super cool and if kids think youāre cool, theyāll listen better.
The kids would stress mike out LMFAO I think Mike would be an okay babysitter. I donāt know, just something about the way Mike is makes me think heād be a bad babysitter. I know heās sweet with Holly, but likeā¦thatās his sister. Also, again, kids listen better when they think youāre cool, and kids would NOT think Mikeās cool, soā¦but if the kids were into nerdy shit like him, I think theyād get along better. I guess itās less so an issue with Mike being bad with kids, and more so me just thinking that thereās not a single chance children would listen to Michael Wheeler.
As much as I love Dustin, heād be a terrible babysitter. Heās sassyā¦? Iām not sure how to describe him, but he behaves in such a way that I donāt think fits a babysitter. He kinda just generally is a bit of a menaceā¦like when he called Ted Wheeler a son of a bitch. I think thatās another reason why I donāt think heād make a good babysitter; he swears a lot. Also I could totally see him telling the kids a bed time story but accidentally making it way too scary for these poor 5 year olds, soā¦if I had kids, Dustin would not be watching them. Also, heās not responsible at all, so I doubt heād get hired by anybody. Despite all that, I honestly do think he could be a fun babysitter to some more rebellious or otherwise nerdy kids.
I think El would be okay with kids, but I mostly donāt think sheād be good with them because I donāt think sheād know what to do with them if that makes sense. Like, sheās already trying to figure herself out and what she likes, so trying to figure out what little kids like would probably be a little difficult. I think sheād need some time to actually get used to being around kids, since sheās barely used to being around other teenagers. But, theoretically, if she were allowed to use her powers around people, I could see her getting super happy to impress some kids with her powers. Also, after getting used to being around kids, I could see her doing arts and crafts with them or playing pretend games like kitchen, dolls, action figures, etc.
Max would be a terrible babysitter. Well, maybe not terrible. I mean, she was good with Holly (but then, again they were in similar situations, and Holly was also the first person Max was able to talk to in months), but I canāt really see her taking care of kids like that. I could see her occasionally skateboarding with the neighbors kids and secretly getting bubbly inside when she shows them a trick and they think itās cool, but other then that, I canāt see her as a babysitter at all. I love Max, but sheās got too much on her plate to watch a bunch of snot nosed brats!!!
Das allā¦lmk if I should do more of these
