Byler but instead of a 2025 queer horror with Cara Buono in it it's a 2007 queer horror with Cara Buono in it

[This is a companion comic for my Cthulhu analysis, which is still one of my favourite Byler essays I've written. Don't let the threat of Willainy put you off tho -- it comes to a happy conclusion, I promise.]

They are also both pigs. Hopper calls himself one in the first episode of S1 while we get see Nancy the pig(gybank) in the first episode of S2

So. We don't talk enough about how the person on the show who's probably most similar to Hopper is...Nancy Wheeler.

They've both got that investigative drive, lie and turn on the charm (they even make the same face when they do, you know the one) to talk their way into places, but also aren't afraid to break the rules, use brute force, or just break in. They're the default gun-totters on the show and they naturally take charge.

They're both haunted by the past - we see Hopper's tragedy in flashbacks, while Nancy's happens in the first few episodes of the show.

Hopper spends season 2 following rotting pumpkins, Nancy spends season 3 tracking down dying rats. They both end up needing to be saved midway through those seasons.

They've both got a bone to pick with one Mike Wheeler. But also a soft spot.

They're the first people (other than the lab folks) to interact with gates in 1x05, they're the ones who team up with Murray, and they're both the biggest pains in the lab's butt.

They're both catches, but they also try to impress the person they like with...their clothes? They're also the only two characters (other than Lonnie) that we see in the shower, and they get those waking up after sex shots in back to back episodes.

To be continued cos I hit the max...

But what about the pig(gybank) called Nancy?

El Hopper + flowers (and the negative emotions surrounding them)

this parallel literally came to me in a dream

Dustin: I mean, small creatures are way more vicious. It's because their anger has less space to be bottled up.

Mike: Ridiculous. Give me one example of this.

Dustin: Spiders.

Will: Wasps.

Max: Terriers.

Lucas: Erica.

If it's forced conformity that's killing the kids ...

... does this count as attempted murder?

The Jonathan hate in this fandom is really getting to me. It’s just beyond stupid and annoying af at this point. But can we just chat for a minute about the fact that Dustin, Eddie and Robin were pushing/encouraging Steve to try and get with Nancy? Like first off, kinda think she has other things on her mind… like trying to kill Vecna, clear Eddie’s name, and save the whole fucking town plus the van full of people she loves… maybe she has bigger priorities than hearing about Steve’s stupid ass fantasies, especially given the fact they haven’t even really talked in over a year. But good advice, guys. 😑

Second, they are very possibly setting up this person they care about to get his heart broken because like WHAT SHITTY TIMING plus you know, SHE’S IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE SHE LOVES. I mean, COME ON. 🙄

Third, what a flat out shitty thing to do… like 100% shitty. I mean, it’s cool now to encourage someone to try and break up two people? Like Jonathan wasn’t trying to break up Stancy AT ALL and in fact did several things to try and push Nancy back toward Steve. Yet he’s still getting hate for what… breathing I guess… 2 years later? I suppose I get Eddie and Robin don’t really know Jonathan but they know Nancy… and it’s acceptable to try to destroy a relationship she’s been in for a year and half… and IS STILL IN EVEN THOUGH HE LIVES IN CALIFORNIA?? Like obviously they love each other or they would have broken up when he moved across the country but yup, disregard that relationship because Steve’s wishes and desires are top priority. And don’t even get me started on Dustin… he knows Nancy AND Jonathan and you’d think he cares about Nancy at least enough to not want Steve to try and destroy a relationship she cares about… right?? Like come on… all these Jonathan haters out there pick on every fucking thing he does, including supposedly breaking up Stancy (he didn’t) but these three encouraging Steve to try and break up Jancy is cool?? And it’s okay that Steve decided to take their advice and do exactly what he hates Jonathan for? What SENSE does this make?? Steve doesn’t even talk to her about how she and Jonathan are doing, if they’re together, etc. Seriously, leave Jonathan the fuck alone if you are going to let other characters get away with shit like this…. 🤬😡

Finn on Mike's ending in ST 5: "I was so happy with his ending, and I don't know, I was satisfied, but I was also very confused and sad, but also very happy,"

[strange-anni]

So they basically just adopted him…
