Do you think that the Byers will ever move back to Hawkins? I know it's a popular theory that they will move back once they find Hopper, but I'm not sure how much sense that makes tbh. I mean, how many people can come back to life in this town? There's gonna be questions he can't answer, so it might be safer for him (& for El) to stay away. I don't like the idea of El & Will never being back with their friends but I'm just not sure how they would explain their return in a way that makes sense.

I really don’t know and I mean in terms of within the story I can give you a thousand reasons why Joyce would decide to move back and a thousand reasons why she wouldn’t, but at the end of the day, it’s not gonna come down to what makes the most sense within the story, but what the Duffers want to happen and how they want Joyce to feel about it all. And I rlly have no idea bc it really will come down to all stuff we don’t know yet like what s4’s plot is and whether or not there will be a s5 and how they’re gonna handle this arc in general. I can’t even really tell you if I think they will or won’t have them move back bc we just don’t know any of the relevant stuff that’s gonna determine that. In terms of fanon, that’s what I’m always gonna hc, the only thing that would change as new seasons come out is When they move back, but canonically no idea

#everything with hop complicates things too #bc we know he WANTS to live in hawkins and he wants joyce to live there #and hes never said ao canonically but im sure he thinks its good for El too to be there (for so many reasons i can unpack)#but like #opposed to what this fandom wants to rhink somwtimes #hes not gonna come back and immediately move in with the byers and marry joyce and be one big happy family #like hell prob stay in thwir house for a little while until he gets back on his feet #but even if they start dating when he comes back theyre still two separate families #and thats rllt gonna put el in a weird position and i think theyd both be aware of that #its like shes dealing with divorced parents without them ever even being together #bc we dk how long shell have veen with joyce but itll certainly be long enough to view her as a mother figure #so if hop comes back and he gets his own house and she goes to live with him again #hes not gonna want to separate her from joyce rlly bc hes gonna know thats her family now too #(not to mention his own feelings and i doubt hed wanna be far from joyce esp dhring whats obv gonna be a ROUGH time)#so i cant imagine a scenario where he and el go back to hawkins but leave the byers behind #so rlly theres hust a lot of factors at play and i do think its gonna ve a bit of an all or nothing situation #theyre either All gonna come back to hawkins or All stay away
