#random qs

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your blog as a Jopper fan, I really do. Your writing is so cool, I love every piece of it. And you were the first blog I discovered when I joined the Fandom. Now, I hope the bad shit in your life will go away at some point and although I'm just a Tumblr anon I wanted to give you some nice words! Best wishes to you! Really.

To further distract you, as you asked, here are five headcanon questions I'd like to know about Joyce/Jim.

1. What's one thing joyce has never told jim/was afraid to tell him?

2. If Joyce and Jim could time travel, and went to Lovers lake, to see their younger selves having a datenight, what would that scenario be like?

3. What is the most kinky thing they've ever done together?

4. What is your headcanon on Joyce telling Hopper about what Lonnie did to her?

5. What is your headcanon on them saying I love you for the first time?

You are so sweet. Thank you ❤️ These questions were super fun to answer btw :) :) I appreciate you sending them in -- mission accomplished 

1. What's one thing joyce has never told jim/was afraid to tell him? Ohhhhhhhh my god. Okay, this is going to be a MAJOR spoiler alert for my fic. I know this is a hot topic and a bit controversial. It’s something Joyce can barely admit to herself because she’s convinced herself otherwise but... She’s afraid to tell Hopper that Will’s his son. Yes it’s so soap opera cliche, but I love it so pls don’t @ me lol

2. If Joyce and Jim could time travel, and went to Lovers lake, to see their younger selves having a datenight, what would that scenario be like? Because ST is so in love with cliches and nostalgia (hey! me too!), I like to think that they would have a not-a-date date on a hot summer night under the new moon. Joyce packs a picnic so they can lay out underneath the stars on the hood of Hopper’s dad’s Oldsmobile. They get drunk on cheap Boone’s, maybe smoke a joint and burn a pack of smokes, staying up til dawn. Late in the night, when the heat gets to be too much to bare, they strip down and jump in the water (Joyce first, egging Hop on...) and just before the sun comes up, Hopper builds her a fire to dry off. He even carves their initials into an old oak tree, right on the shores of Lover’s Lake.

3. What is the most kinky thing they've ever done together? Haha okay, so I have whole stories written about just this, but here’s the thing... I’m super shy about posting straight up smut. I may or may not post it to an anonymous account on Ao3 in the next little while, if I can work up the courage. If you happen to read a kinky E rated Jopper story on there soon, written by a new author, it will be pretty easy to tell it’s me if you know my writing style. But just pretend like it isn’t me okay? 😅 And for a short answer to tide you over: Hop likes to give face and Joyce is a bj queen. They both enjoy getting away with it in (semi)public but still keeping it as secretive as possible because they. just. can’t. admit their feelings for one another. Stubborn idiots. 4. What is your headcanon on Joyce telling Hopper about what Lonnie did to her? I think she hid it or downplayed it a lot to Hop. 1) Because she knew what both Hopper and Lonnie were capable of and it’s not that she wanted to protect Lonnie perse, she just didn’t want to be the cause of his murder. If anyone could murder someone in Hawkins and get away with it, it would be Hop as the chief of police lol.  2) Joyce felt like she could handle herself at first and like most victims of abuse, didn’t think it was that bad the way Lonnie was around her and the boys, that was just the way he was. And maybe he could change? 3) Eventually, she felt that she let Hopper down. She used to be so confident and sure of herself, that’s the Joyce that Hop left behind in Hawkins when he was drafted to ‘Nam. But that girl was long gone after 12 years married to Lonnie Byers. It made Hopper upset to see her make excuses for him, over and over again, not realizing she deserved better until it was too late. 

TBH I think that played a small part in why they were so hostile to each other at the beginning of the series. These two suck at communication and being open and honest with each other.

2. Do they have a fear of an animal? If so, what animal?

Squid. Particularly the big ones. He’s not fond of any deep sea creatures however.

4. Do they like cuddling?

Very much so. When he has down time, he tends to want to curl up with someone. A friend, his brother, and s/o. It doesn’t really matter. Whether watching TV, reading a book, just talking, as long as he gets to be close to another person, he’s happy/

55. What is something they always wanted to do but too scared?

He’d never talks about, but he’d really like to go out to one of the smaller towns outside the territory. Some middle of no where town, like the gang always gets to see. He’d love to see the different North American regions, and visit small towns in all of them. Unfortunately he’s quite uncomfortable with the idea of leaving Mt Ebbot and his labs for too long.

72. Do they currently have a significant other? If not, are they going to get one later one?

He doesn’t at the moment, and he isn’t really looking. If someone came along, he’s not exactly adverse to the idea. His ideal relationship tends to be on the independent side however. He prefers some one almost entirely self sufficient. They can spend some time together, then go back to doing their own things.

96. Who do they like to make jokes with?

Hey there nice nonny! Great question :) I think I might have mentioned it once a very long time ago but I can’t say for sure.

So, basically, I just randomly selected SelenaTerna for my A03 name (and I literally still, to this day, have no idea WHY, because my name isn’t actually Selena or anything like it) but when it came time to set up my tumblr I was a bit hesitant to use it (again, no idea why). That same day a friend was visiting and he has called me La Contessa for as long as I can remember, and soon after he left, countessselena was born. 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

I would really enjoy getting my ass kicked by Jeremy.

O ya my grand total was 60 hours no sleep and I Would Not Recommend It, it was super not fun and I have very little memory of anything that happened after Hour 42. The short answer to “why” is “to see if I could,” and the longer answer is “because one of my jackass non-friends said he’d pay me a dollar for every hour above 42 that I stayed awake” and I did it just to spite him.

Pro tip: don’t be friends with people who encourage you to do unhealthy unpleasant things.
