#jonathan byers kin

[kincalling]

Hey there, I’m Jonathan Byers from Stranger things. I’m looking for my brother Will as well as Billy Hargrove, Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Dustin Henderson and Nancy Wheeler. Only 18+ plus please!

I’m not sure how to use this app but I was told to get it and do a source call SO

Source call for any stranger things kins/irls. Open to talking to anyone but I especially am missing Nancy :)

[therainscene]

I’ve been rolling the Mike thinks Will is in love with El theory around in my head some more. I like it, but it’s not without its flaws.

One especially damning counter-argument a few folks have brought up is that Mike heard Will refer to himself as El’s brother at the police station:

Will’s line contrasts Jonathan’s earlier “I’m her brother... uh, step-brother...”, indicating that Will has fully embraced her as family where Jon doesn’t quite see her that way yet.

It’s a great point. The only justification I’ve seen for it is that Mike wasn’t put off from kissing El after he’d already implied he wanted to be her brother... but that doesn’t wash with me. Just because he had no idea how to reconcile his feelings with heteronormative expectations at 12 doesn’t mean he's still clueless at 15.

So let’s give him some credit and try a different angle: When we step outside of the Byers POV, Will’s line is actually quite ambiguous.

The unsympathetic receptionist refused to let them see El on the grounds they weren’t a parent or legal guardian, so Will jumped in with an argument he hoped would win her over: we’re her legal next of kin. He’s just saying whatever he thinks will grant them access to El -- there’s no reason it has to be reflective of his true feelings.

After all, it’s not as though Will “be gay do crime” Byers has any qualms about being dishonest with authorities when it suits him.

Mike was present for both of the above moments, so he definitely knows this about Will. And this is only one piece of evidence amongst many -- the rest of it is undeniably suggesting that Will’s in love with one half of Milevn:

Will’s been acting weird in a likes-someone way around El;

Will sulked at Rink-o-Mania over getting third-wheeled by Milevn and rarely took his eyes off El;

Will is always eager to talk about El and brings her up in conversations with Mike more than Mike does;

Will hinted that he was hiding an uncomfortable secret from Mike in the scrapyard heart-to-heart;

Will is the more trustworthy party in the “maybe it is for [someone he likes]”/“El commissioned it” painting lie conflict;

Will was on the verge of tears the whole time he was pushing Mike back into El’s arms in the van and the pizzeria.

It’s obvious to the audience what conclusion to draw here because we had the benefit of seeing it all through Will’s sad gay puppy eyes...

...But Mike is forced to assess the evidence through his own biased POV.

This kid has severe self-worth issues, which are tied up in his feelings for El, which are in turn tied up in heteronormativity. It’s also been hinted that he has depression -- messy room, slipping grades, parallels with Max -- an illness that’s notorious for twisting your thought processes into the most pessimistic directions possible.

So while Mike may very well suspect the truth, I’m not sure he’s in the right headspace to accept it. There’s a good chance he’s torn between the two interpretations:

Will likes El: Mike is forced to choose between making Will happy vs. holding on to the one thing that makes him feel like he has value. But he can tell that El doesn’t need him anymore, and he couldn’t live with himself if he hurt Will... after all, aren’t a straight boy’s feelings more important than some pathetic queer who’s lying to himself?

Will likes Mike: Mike gets to make Will happy and he gets to make himself happy. Letting go of El might be difficult, but he knows she’ll be fine without him, and Will has already proven that his unbridled love can help Mike see his inherent self-worth -- a much healthier approach than tying his self-worth up in being someone’s boyfriend.

The first interpretation reinforces Mike’s heteronormative beliefs and ensures he continues to feel worthless, whereas the second allows him to feel hope that things can get better.

Which interpretation would a depressed brain find more appealing? Or, more to the point, since Stranger Things tends to explore these struggles through metaphor--

--which interpretation would give Mr. Everyone-is-Just-Waiting-For-it-All-To-Be-Over an opportunity to break through Mike’s defenses?

[pukner]

Can I ask you a kinda weird question? What do you think steddie and the party would be as a supernatural creatures? My headcanon is Vampire Eddie and Succubus Steve, but I'm open to discussion. 😁

hello this is a FANTASTIC question

I love the idea of a succubus Steve, but also like? Siren Steve? This might explain his affinity for water, maybe he basks in his pool a lot and unfortunately that becomes extremely cursed for him Post Barb. He's the son of two beautiful, supernaturally charming people who learned how to show people exactly what they want, become exactly what they want. Steve is pretty and handsome and terrible and sweet and exactly what you expect from him, right up until he isn't.

I like the idea of a werewolf Robin, and also Max. Robin's larger and ganglier, and spends the full moon curled around Steve and growling at anyone who gets close. Max is a puppy, and a grumbly one, and Lucas ends up with a very determined guard dog. Robin also gets bizzarely territorial over Steve's house, for someone who doesn't live there. Her whole family scent Steve constantly, and he's thrilled about the extra cuddles.

I like the idea of Lucas and Erica being from magical heritage, old school witches who go very different with their practices. Lucas does very practical magic; makes little charms for his friends, for protection and strength and peace. Erica leans more towards big enchantments; she's real pissed about Steve's natural charisma.

Dustin is a very human person, who can and WILL science his way into magic.

Nancy and Mike, I waffle on. Maybe fae-blooded? Diluted enough that they can dwell here, won't get hunted down by either court. But still fae enough that Nancy has an almost pathological need to get to the truth, that she won't stand for illusions, that she chafes against Steve and his automatic charisma and the lies he lures people in with, almost thoughtlessly. She and Mike are deadly territorial over their kin, over those they've decided are theirs. Losing Barb made her absolutely inconsolable. Mike is much the same. They get it from Karen, who got it from her mother, who got it from hers. Ted Wheeler is an extremely mundane dude.

Will is a shapeshifter, all the Byers are. He likes to be small, unassuming animals, and so does Jonathan. Turns into a mouse or a grass snake and hides in his brother's pocket, up his mom's sleeve.

Eddie is a son of a vampire, came into his bloody heritage honestly. Wayne, his uncle on his mothers' side, is extremely human and had to learn real fast how to raise a bloodthirsty kid. He has raw steak in the freezer and teaches his kid how to hunt. He also has bloodpops in the freezer for summer days when Eddie gets lethargic and whiny.

He absolutely develops a weird obsession with Steve Harrington And His Summer-Sunshine-Salty Blood. Robin Buckley tries to eat him about it one time when he leans in too close for a sniff one day at Scoops.

Hopper is extremely human and extremely done with the supernatural side of things on this goddamn town.

El was human, once. They don't know what she is. She smells wrong, to most of them. Reads weird to their magic, to others. They love her anyway.

[i-am-autistic]

Can we like stop normalizing people who treat characters as autonomous people as a crutch for poor media literacy. Gonna tag Jonathan Byetirs for this because people really treat Jonathan taking those pictures as if Jonathan Byers is a real person who actually went and took pictures. I saw someone on reddit say if you don't "treat them as real people you're missing the point". And it's like....no you're not missing any points to treat fictional characters as such. If you think the action is creepy, instead of putting it on the character.......maybe consider the writers??? Because the character isn't....real. To be clear this isn't being anti-kinning or being emotionally attached to characters or analyzing the ethical implications of character's actions. It's more about the whole autonomizing of them. But people who feel the need to go out of their way to call characters rude names and project feelings onto them as if they're real is just strange.

assigned jonathan byers kin at birth of first sibling

[futurecorps3]

Hey lola, congrats on 800 followers <3 <3. Could I please get a • 🩸”Kir Royale” and a • 🎬 “Black Heart Daiquiri”.

Stranger things or marauders for the kir Royale please!

I'm a straight female and my pronouns are she/her. I'm fairly introverted and it takes me a while to warm up to people. I love reading, my room is filled with stacks of books. I adore adventures, witty and playful banter, pulling harmless pranks, joking around and having indepth discussions on anything and everything. I love helping out and people come to me to vent or for advice and comfort. I'd consider myself really smart and I'm very ambitious; I love being the best at everything I do. I daydream a lot and I'm a hopeless romantic. My love languages are acts of service and quality time. I'm a ravenclaw, taurus and my mbti is infp. My music taste is mostly indie rock, indie pop and shoegraze! I love watching movies very, very much and I'll watch literally anything lmao. Genres I always enjoy though are drama, romcoms and mysteries.

For the 🎬, who would you be best friends with in the marauders and stranger things universe? And who do you think you'd not get along at all with?

Thanks!

Thank you so much dear! <3

PLEASE THAT WHOLE DESCRIPTION SCREAMS REGULUS BLACK!!!

Library dates!!! You probably met in one to be honest. I've always thought he likes making pranks with Barty and Evan just like the marauders, they're just subtle and quiet about it so ofc making silly pranks with him. I can see you dancing with and without music in your first flat <3

And for Stranger Things... Jonathan Byers!

The kids go looking for you to the movies when they can't find you. Your obsession for cinema is one of the things you enjoy sharing a lot! His room is filled with pictures of you reading. He of course comes to you with his problems and well for that adventure bit... we know you won't have a shortage of it! <3

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥

⇢Who would you be best friends with in the marauders and stranger things universe?

What a great question! I feel like Sirius and I are basically the same person (the trauma too), and that makes me think the other marauders would like me too. I think my personality is very versatile and I could get along with more introverted people like Reggie (who my best friend of a literal decade kins). As for ST, Robin is the absolute love of my life! And I actually think we'd kick it off, with Steve and Eddie too (went through that Munson era and when S5 comes out I'll fall right back in)

⇢Who do you think you'd not get along at all with?

Girl when I tell you Lily Evans would absolutely hate my guts 😭 WORST THING IS I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY! I feel like we just don't match at all, very much contrast, a very 'you love it or you hate it' situation. Pandora too and ugh that hurts. I feel like I'm too loud and too much for her lovely, calm personality! But that's okay. For ST... I don't like kids. IM SORRY I JUST DON'T LIKE THEM! And that specific age El, Mike, Will, Dustin and Lucas are in just infuriates me. So yeah. Maybe only Will would like me and I would like him back just enough to be friends.

[incoherentpng]

grrr I left these out in the last couple of asks... I'm so stupid

I'd kin assign you Jonathan Byers for the most obvious reasons. he's the reason I wanted you to get into the show bc you were all I could think about when seeing him..... it's also mainly why I'm so attracted to him

things that also remind me of you; stuffies, cats when their tails form a heart, the smell of anything sweet in my sheets, body contrition/double jointedness bc ur mean and like to scare me.... also! dusk, anytime I see the sun & moon together, bones, bugs, morgues, the purple heart emoji, the 🤷 emoji bc u keep doing that in video calls-

yes, along with 3d modeling SPECIFICALLY the program you use because you always say you're gonna get bullied if people knew which one

there's a lot of other small things...... erm... f slur

no one will bully me for using Blender i promise you. animation program however? Yeah.

[aristobun]

brutally honest stranger things kin assignment?

jonathan byers

hello possible eldest child who got pushed aside! how does it feel to know that your feelings were always an afterthought? please take time to focus on yourself cause we all know you've never had that. you're a pretty chill person but uh... getting high isn't therapy by the way. you deserve to be loved and prioritized even if you're a bit of a weirdo sometimes. side note, please communicate your feelings to your friends and partner (if you have one) for the love of GOD

[hazyaltcare]

Hello! First off, thank you so much for creating a safe space for proshipper kins! 💕 Second, may I request a moodboard of Nancy Wheeler (Stranger Things) x Albert Wesker (Resident Evil) in the Dead by Daylight universe? Themes: age gap, forbidden/secret relationship, possessiveness, and mentions of my past relationships with Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers + jealousy? With the colors purple and red! Please and thank you! 🌟

Done and in the queue!
