Hello, Didn't want to say anything except it is awesome to find a fellow Jonathan Byers AND Scott Summers enjoyer, I love both of those characters a lot.

Ah, that's awesome! Thanks for saying hi. I am, indeed, massively gone for both of those guys, and I am equally delighted to come across another fan of both.

#answered asks #scott summers #jonathan byers #very little in common except for all the stuff they have in common really #but i mean eldest sibling issues probable neurodivergence hyper-independence loner status don't want to be in charge but kind of have to be #responsibility to their people to the detriment of their own well-being got to do everything themselves not well liked or understood #accusations of being boring or morally questionable but just doing their best and grinding away relentlessly #abandonment issues childhood abuse & neglect i could go on #yet they're so very very different and also one shoots kinetic energy beams from his eyes #so there's that #scott would dislike jonathan's music #and ngl the fact that jonathan spends a significant portion of his time in a darkroom under a safelight #which is red #and scott's whole deal is red #that cracks me up a little #though there's something to be said for scott's keen spatial awareness vs. jonathan's eye for composition #and jonathan isn't a nuts and bolts guy and he can handle himself but lbr scott's training regimen would kill him #also i doubt jonathan has ever read a comic in his life and even in the 80s scott was no one's favorite #also yeah they're both pretty reserved quiet & locked-down emotionally & can't deal with their issues + pragmatic as hell #but i think jonathan has more self-awareness about it and he's way more sensitive #whereas scott was just never going to be a particularly emotional guy he's logical af it's how he's wired #anyway yes i love these two hyper-competent messes a whole lot #and have written many words about them both and will probably write many more
