One of my biggest Stranger Things fandom pet peeves is when people call El, El Byers. As if her father "dies" and then she starts going by her adoptive family's name? It's not even like they officially adopted her. How disrespectful to her relationship with Hopper to try and erase that part of her identity by calling her El Byers. She's El Hopper and she always will be. She may change her name to Wheeler when she gets married but at that point it will be legally changed 😁

#i mean cmon it's just not the way names work #joyce isn't pretending she's el's birth mother as far as canon tells us #she's just taking care of el because otherwise she would be homeless #i'm not saying that joyce doesn't love her like a mother but she didn't legally adopt el in any way #so el's name is still hopper as it should be #also it's annoying because this fandom fucking knows that hopper is alive so don't disrespect hopper and el's father daughter relationship #stranger things #the hopper family #the byers-hopper family #el #eleven #el hopper #jane hopper #joyce byers #jim hopper #netflix
