it made me happy that hopper praised the hell out of jonathan and will to joyce because he was also praising her motherhood and even though joyce was never a perfect mother, she always tried her best with what she could offer and yeah, it was the bare minimum but it was nice and sweet that it was properly acknowledged.

why have i not seen anyone talking about joyce's "you didn't answer my question" and hopper's "i know. you didn't answer mine" like hopper's answer here is SOOOO "i asked you to marry me and you've yet to say yes" coded?? that was my first thought after hearing hop say that like HELLO????

hopper's "thought i lost you" parallels mike's "i feel like i lost you" 😭😭😭😭

"she's not my woman" "of course not. she saves your life because of friendship."

hopper's letter 🥺🥺🥺🥺💔💔💔💔

i remember thinking hopper had died at the end of season 3 :(

"enzo's, friday, i meet you there?" "no, you pick me up." walk him like a dog joyce WALK HIM LIKE A DOG

"i think we make a pretty good team" "i think it'll be easier if we're a team" OH THESE JOPPER AND BYLER PARALLELS ARE SOOOOOOOO GOOD

"SO PLEASE FOR MY SAKE EITHER QUIT YOUR BICKERING OR PULL OVER TEAR OFF THOSE CLOTHES AND GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY" 😭😭😭😭😭

"two things we already knew" "thought we knew but now we know-know because i've confirmed them" joyce is such a cutie patootie silly billy

"come on joyce quit screwing around" "JOYCE DRIVE! JOYCE PLEASE DRIIIIIIIIVE!" lmao

"he gives me things sometimes" "what kind of things?" "money. presents. gifts." "who is this guy, santa claus?!" 😭😭😭😭😭😭 so funny

"oh and please don't give me that dead daughter sob story, cause i just don't care" bro larry kline deserved worse

"you have people that care about you. right here in hawkins" "you mean, people like scott clarke." 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

hopper being stood up kind of breaks my heart :(

hopper's so down bad 😭 i rarely ever talk about other ships here but i love jopper a lot too

"you know, it is that smug son of a bitch, mike" 😭 perfect line delivery 10/10 no notes
