I love them
Eddie agrees with Will's assessment, of course
metalheads: Eddie is definitely included in the little queer club, they’re not violent people but they will be if pushed, especially if pushed to defend one of the other gays
alunarphase: Jonathan passing the safe sex talk humiliation down lmao
He's not suffering alone!
He’s so valid! Even if Will is dying and being dead
Will.exe is broken and may not function
Will like “why are you not shocked by any of this???? Why was Mike actually chill about you walking in????? Why is nobody but me at all freaking out??????”
Jonathan is legit like you two were literally just making out. It happens?
At least months of Jonathan having to listen to “but I don’t want to tell him I like him!!! It’s scary!!!” are over lmao
YES. Jonathan be like praise the fucking lord!
But if he fucking hurts you!
Lmao there would be a queue but also Mike himself would be at the front
I’m in stitches omfg
He can always tell Joyce that Jonathan is teasing him lmao
Because Jonathan is having a time lmao.
It's all in good fun though <4
the mental image of them texting when they're in the same house is fucking hilarious
(lbr if we had cell phones while my sister and I still lived at home we would absolutely be that lazy)
Jonathan is all for this playful torture.
Will just taking it up a notch there to be a horror
metalheads: this is absolutely a thing I have done lmao peak lazy and peak having a private conversation when other people are around
And Jonathan and Will would have so texted each other while in the same house.
I bet they do that with walkie talkies.
Someone pointed out that the Byers Cali house has what looks like intercoms in the rooms
I can literally see Will being like: are you currently in the kitchen? Can you make me some pizza rolls.
Oh he’s absolutely like that
Buzzes down to say “grill me a cheese”
Jonathan all I'm not your personal house maid.
Well it’s that or have another skillet fire lmao
And Jonathan knows this lmao
He buzzes back that they have some expired milk and a crushed up bag of cereal.
He was totally being dramatic
Also I’m totally cool if you want Mike to have told her, actually I think it would be kinda hilarious
Brothers be cracking me up.
Will is really going for being a massive dramatic baby rn
Will is so totally taken aback by Mike even thinking this also his older teen crush is Sam’s Steve
alunarphase: Will waving this whole exchange at Jonathan like “what does he even mean?????? Why is he being so weird about this???? I don’t even like Eddie like that”
Jonathan is literally just trying to make will scrambled eggs and toast.
alunarphase: He puts up with so much
Vaguely hungover younger sibling having his weekly “what the fuck is wrong with him?” rant about Mike while he just tries to live his life
Jonathan is just like....will please. For God sakes have some commutation with him!
This would all be much easier if he wasn’t untangling the bullshit trauma Lonnie left him with
I mean he probably hasn’t been entirely honest with Jonathan about all of that in case Jonathan gets upset that he couldn’t protect him as much as he tried to
I can totally see that too.
I’m supposed to be going to bed because I have work tomorrow but now I’m thinking real hard about how much Will would have actually disclosed
He's such a little lamb
He’s been through far too much for someone who is still so little ☹️
I KNOW!!!!! He needs all the protection!!!!
Season 2 specifically kills me every time
When Joyce is trying to get him to open up about stuff and he’s so small
And when Jonathan wants to back out of burning the Mindflayer out of him because they’re hurting him and he can’t stand to watch 💔
Omg!!!!! That scene is so rough.
Will so tiny
They picked the tiniest possible kid and went “yeah he’s gonna suffer”
I do enjoy that they haven’t had him totally bounce back like it’s nothing though, like he does startle easy and he fidgets every time something is even a little stressful
Jonathan does not like seeing will in pain/suffering. It's too much and it scares the shit out of him.
The season 3 scene where they’re hiding from the flayer and Will is so visibly trying to keep it together and can’t hurts me every time
He's so baby
Honestly, I love how Jonathan is shown to care about him so much, like you can absolutely tell and he’s so protective like
Someone on tumblr did a gif set of every time they’re in danger and Jonathan has immediately put himself between Will and the danger
Omg right ????? Bb bro has been through enough and Jonathan is not taking any chances!
He would rather himself get hurt.
Exactly!!! If something is attacking he’s gonna play human shield
Right!!!!!! He doesn't want bb bro hurt or worse!
Yeah and I’m just like “damn does Jonathan know about where exactly dart came from? Or how bad the Mindflayer attack was?” because I feel like Will wouldn’t want to talk about times Jonathan couldn’t be there to keep him safe in case he feels guilty about it
I'm sure Will keeps all of that bottled in for that exact reason.
Which is sad because Jonathan still worries!!!
How can he not? Will has been through too much.
This is how he ends up sleeping on the floor so Will can stay in his room so he can keep an eye on him
Exactly! It makes Jonathan feel better.
Will will learn that he has to accept help instead of always trying to hide things eventually, it’s just gonna take some time for him to stop feeling like he’s being a burden
When he's not at all. Jonathan would much rather Will be open rather than keeping everything in.
Gawd, Jonathan doesn't sleep when Will stays in his room. He forces himself to stay up all night to keep an eye on him.
Ugh that’s so soft but it’s also exactly why Will worries that Jonathan won’t look after himself if he knows how much he’s trying to process and how hard it is
The horror movie saga continues 😈
I love their little horror flick convos <3
alunarphase: me too! They’re so cute and I love how Jonathan gets concerned because they’ve been through real horror but Will is just determined not to let that steal his favourite genre
Jonathan can't help it. He doesn't want two young siblings who are even more traumatized.
He only has so much space in his room.
alunarphase: well at least they’re discovering what might set them off in a controlled environment
The great debate rages on
Googling 80s stoner movies for the burn
Will has to carry this whole family
Gotta be the gay sibling, the funny sibling...
And he would never dump a pan of spaghetti over his sister and start a food fight
lmao.
Jonathan was not home at this time.
Drama Queen moment
