Joyce is late to get home one day and is panicking because it’s well past dinner time and she always cooks for her kids. 

She quickly enters the house, calling out to Jonathan and Will apologizing for being so late and promising to cook right away. She stops in her tracks when she walks in the kitchen and an 10 year old Will is sitting at the table eating some dinner and a 14 year old Jonathan is cleaning off the stove.

“It’s ok mom, I already cooked.”

Maybe a parent would be happy if the circumstances were different, but Joyce feels so incredibly guilty that her boy had to cook for them in her place. Following that day, Jonathan starts to purposely cook before she gets home normally and before she wakes up in the morning. 

Joyce continues to feel terrible about it, but seeing Jonathan light up every time she complimented his cooking or thanking him for cooking slowly ate the guilt away.

It's crazy. It's almost like season 5 doesn't exist because how can you fumble willel individually and as a pair that badly

s2 willel headcanons??

At the time of season 2, most of the WillEl stuff was in their parallels and similarities (which honestly, was the peak because the Duffers wasted their potential in every subsequent season)

BUT

My favorite season 2 headcanon is while she was on her way back from Chicago, she was watching them interrogate Will.

I doubt he was able to feel or see her because of what he was going through with the possession and all, but I can imagine her trying to comfort him or help him out in some way to communicate with his family during all that.

Maybe just holding his hand in the fog gave him the strength to start tapping I dunno.

It's not a hardset headcanon or anything, but fun to imagine.

I saw a video that said the reason Vecna was created because the mind flayer was an inter dimensional being that acted on instinct which doesn’t make a compelling villain with goals and motivations. What is your opinion about that and will that affect how you write the mind flayer in your stranger things rewrite?

I disagree fundamentally.

The Thing was one of their great inspirational. That monster thing couldn't speak plainly but it very clearly had some kind of motivation and goal in mind.

It's horrifying to imagine what it could possibly do or want once it reached a wider populace.

Given, there's only 1 thing movie (completely ignoring the others). Trying to keep that interesting for 5 seasons was a stretch, it was already a stretch with how they wrote it.

The philosophy of my rewrite is:

Season 1: complete mystery, no baddie present. Yet

Season 2: the baddie has shown itself, but motivations unclear

Season 3: the baddie is back and they are discovering/guessing its motivations and moving to stop it

Season 4: they officially stop it from completing its goal. The end

Season 5: doesn't exist

Now, the Mind Flayer is not 1:1 to The Thing, but I think it makes for a good baseline on how to keep things mysterious yet compelling. Trying to imagine what it might do to you or the rest of the world is the true horror. The thought it of wearing your face, pretending to be your friend, not truly being able to that if the person next to you is the monster.... That's the type of energy I want to write for the MIND Flayer. More mind games.

Btw, it's not fanon that El was legally adopted by Joyce after Hopper's death and remained her daughter probably even now since she 'disappeared'.

If Hopper is her father, then Joyce is her mother and Jonathan and Will are her brothers.

can i say something.

any person who comes after a willel shipper with the "they're siblings!" argument is immediately wrong. just speaking objectively, Will and Jane were never siblings, nor will they ever be.

Joyce and Hopper never married, Will and Jane aren't related. They are canonically not siblings and anyone who uses that argument is working off of FANON logic.

[willel]

That's all well and good, ship what you want to ship, but the romantic ship name for Will and El is wileven or wi11 or whatever else.

Willel was specifically concocted to be for the platonic sibling pairing, not the romantic one. It would be great if people could start tagging it correctly.

I mean, blocking what you don't want to see works all the same but I'm sure people who ship them romantically would have a much easier time and less arguments if they used the correct tags.
