You've heard of multi-shipper now get ready for multi-headcanoner: where multiple interpretations of the same character coexist in your head and they are all great.
el killing herself after having no agency over her own life. kali dying to prop up a white character. erica being completely ignored and tossed aside. nancy ending up single because you cannot be independent while in a relationship. saying that mike was the only one who ever understood el while that’s plainly false. completely forgetting about vickie. joyce getting maybe a few lines in the finale. making sure kali goes through more trauma before killing her. max barely getting any screen time. no elmax hug. refusing to give closure to a sapphic relationship. robin being sidelined from ep6+. making el to wear a skin-tight suit the entire episode. calling multiple female characters bitches, including minors. suzie doesn’t exist anymore apparently. saying how erica can take care of herself because she’s “tough”. reducing multiple female characters into love interests. and this is supposed to be… empowering? you want to tell me this is not plain and obvious misogyny? yeah ok
Since the duffels didn’t even view her as a real person and just a plot device, a lot of people struggle with drawing or writing her doing things she likes so here is a list of interest or things I think El would have loved :)
Strawberry flavored lipgloss, Wonder Woman comics, iridescent stickers, watching old romance films (Aubrey Hepburn is her favorite actress), math, arts and crafts, scrapbooking, roller skating (before Angela), Madonna, playing charades, the color purple, physical touch, colorful clothing, slouch socks, collecting hit clips (she made it to the 2000s idc), Walking into a Sketchers store in the mall with Max just to fill her purse up with the free gum balls, raspberry pie, dipping her fries in strawberry ice cream, playing the piano, Valentine’s Day, stealing Hopper’s old cassette tapes and recording radio music over them, Karaoke, sewing (Joyce taught her), music boxes, Cyndi Lauper, Sprite, seeing babies in public, diorama making, cuffing her jeans, making forts, and bowling.

caught 90s jancy with their hands in the cookie jar
(arent u guys supposed to be broken up)
OKAY the post everyone (no one) was waiting for Oliver’s Official Modern Day “The Party” HCs (if you’re looking for a specific character i’m planning on listing them in this order so scroll to find their number: 1. will, 2. mike, 3. lucas, 4. max, 5. jane, 6. dustin)
1. WILL BYERS THE PEOPLE’S PRINCESS (using pink because there’s no yellow) (he/him, gay)
- modern day will is very similar to 80s will only wayyy more open in his subtle femininity and sexuality
- he’s still a painter, still an artist of course he draws on his ipad (which is very old he’s had it since he was 5) too which is why you should never take it away from him
- lots of dainty jewelry i think he’d like pearls he’s always stacked with bracelets and rings and thin watches tyty
Will and Lucas have hugged in every single season by the way.
Byers sibling headcanons because if the Duffer brothers wont give them screentime, I will
- In Leonora people always assumed El and Will were twins and it made El so happy that Will never corrects them
- They all share clothes; they have, like, ten flannels in between the three of them that are always on rotation and they fight over socks
- Although she likes the name El she much prefers to be called Jane and starts writing her name everywhere
- One time Jonathan was high and called her "Janey," and she loved it so much that afterwards she asked him to call her only that
- For christmas Jonathan and Will saved up to get her a locket with her name engraved on it; she was so happy she cried
- They constantly have 'sleepovers,' which just means they order pizza and watch movies piled up on the couch until they pass out (Argyle usually joins them)
- Will LOVES horror movies to a concerning degree, meanwhile Jonathan is the biggest scardeycat and flinches dramatically at every scare.
- Jonathan is excited to introduce Jane to all kinds of music, the same way he did with Will
- Jane HATES Jonathan's music, and she gets very shy when she admits it, thinking he'll be upset
- Jonathan takes it like a champ and assures her that they'll search for music that SHE likes and starts making her mixtapes
- Also, Jonathan's love language is making mixtapes.
- Will learns from Joyce how to braid hair so he can braid Jane's because she struggles to do it herself
- Jane starts getting interested in experimenting with nail polish and makeup, but shes so bad at it and hates the texture but she still wants to know how to do it. She starts using the boys as her guinea pigs
- Jane loves spending time with Jonathan because he also doesn't talk a lot like her and he never judges her when she makes mistakes
- Will tries really hard to make every holiday special for Jane but he makes the mistake of telling her about Santa Claus, whom she is instantly terrified of. "What do you mean he sees me when I'm sleeping?"
- They assure her he's not real but she sleeps in Will's room on Christmas eve just in case
- When they move back to Hawkins Jane is a little sad that they're not all living together anymore, although she's glad to be back with Hopper
- She's also scared that Will and Jonathan only treated her like a sister because it was part of their cover in Lenora but then one day she overhears them referring to her as their sister and she brightens up
- When she bring it up, they immediately hug her and promise her they'll always be siblings
where’s the secret ninth episode where jonathan discovers being nonbinary
Big fan of whatever this genre of conversation is
