hc 💭 jonathan always tries to rage bait hopper, and will and joyce think it’s the funniest thing ever. like every single opportunity but hopper doesn’t mind, because he knows lonnie was a piece of shit. and him doing all that means he’s comfortable with him 🥲

hc 💭 joyce quit working at melvald’s a month after el died because she couldn’t stomach walking past that street every day anymore. so hopper told her he would become chief again to bring in some money.

the only person to blame for how the byers adapted to SURVIVE being poor is LONNIE. not jonathan, not will and certainly not joyce — she was a mother doing the best she could with what she had. i think people are forgetting that….
