There's something so crushing about the theory that Hopper is actually Will's father, and it truly is the Jonathan of it all. Imagine Jonathan finding out and thinking what? really? For a split second before realizing that no, it's not both of them. That would be crazy. It's just Will. Of course it's just Will.

#supports my 'jonathan has a really hard time stepping back and letting hopper actually BE a father bc hes spent so much time supporting them #& hop trying to be a parent to HIM is going to really rub him the wrong way for awhile bc hes never experienced a good father figure' theory #jonathan finding out that hes WILL'S dad? ACTUALLY? HE'S the one stuck w/o a dad AGAIN? #they all get to be one big happy family and he doesnt even know his place bc if he isnt the parent and he isnt the son then what is he? #culminates to a good old fashioned 'why do you even CARE you arent my dad!!' which is when FINALLY hop just hugs the shit out of him #and hear me OUT. #mike s2 punching him til he sobs parallel #'yes i am kid. i am.' #stranger things #will byers #jim hopper #jonathan byers #byler #<- girl u know why
