crime show slow burn ships are actually sooo funny. they literally get into near death situations EVERY ep, but when it comes to telling the other person how they feel ? that’s where they draw the line
just don’t understand how people see jopper and not see how they fit likeee hopper literally sat outside in his car all night in s1 to make sure joyce was okay. was willing to die in s1 just to make sure she didn’t go through the pain of losing a kid like he has
what if hopper finally gets the nerve to propose to joyce in st5 amidst the chaos and she says no and starts getting mad at him and says she’d never marry him… but it’s actually just a vision from vecna
right before hopper “dies” he looked at joyce with all the love and admiration in his eyes. he thought those might be his last minutes and he was literally saying ‘i love you’ with his eyes because he didn’t want to die with her knowing how much he loves her.
thinking about how hopper was always the person joyce went to when things got rough. he was always able to comfort her and make her feel less alone. but for 8 months she couldn’t because she thought she killed him
cant believe hopper started with season 4 off with stating joyce is not his women and ended season 4 with almost fucking her in a church & joyce byers being in fact HIS women
y’all remember when olivia got suspended from svu and transferred to community affairs and refused to show up and was continuing working on svu cases? that’s some queen shit.
no because joyce probably has a clothing item of hopper she stole and refuses to wash it or get rid of because she thinks that’s the last thing of his she’ll ever have to remember him
my friend is trying to explain an svu episode to me to try and find it for her to watch and i literallyjust go “what is olivias hairstyle in it” to try and figure out what episode it is 🥴
honestly so proud of joyce byers. got out of an abusive relationship. was right about every scenario happening. snuck into a hidden russian government and got rid of monsters. saved hopper. and finally getting some good dick that isn’t a fantasy
joyce literally went from not being able to handle will going into a room by himself with the door closed to going into a whole different country with out her kids. that should be praised not degraded. people do not understand how debilitating anxiety truly is
need to talk about how hopper has ALWAYS seen joyce as els other parent. the way he talked to her about something going on with el like he’s her daughter as well. how he used her method (half assed it but). how he trusted her to raise el

this scene is just top tier for me. the way he holds her ?? and the way she finds his hand and holds it ?? and there start playing with each other thumbs ??? and he keeps looking down at her like he can’t believe he’s here with her ☹️☹️
the part where hopper wanted to “clear it up” that it wasn’t a date in case she didn’t want it to be and joyce getting embarrassed thinking it was a date when it clearly “wasnt”
genuinely feel like the reason it took hopper so long to make a move on her was bc he saw so highly of her and thought he didn’t deserve her - like he was too fucked up. and the only reason he had the nerve to ask her out was bc of el pushing him
sometimes it shakes me to my core thinking about hopper put joyce as els legal guardian of something we’re to happen to him… like he has so much trust issues with everyone but trusts her with his life and his daughter. they’re really like THAT!
