no but. THIS is why lucas is so good for max. because instead of blaming her for being upset, or treating her badly, he approaches his parents (a happily married couple) and asks honestly how to handle the situation. because he is so earnest and good and he wants to show max she can trust him. lucas is a goddamn king and we don't talk about it enough
for st5 I literally only care if max and lucas have a happy ending together. everyone else can go their separate ways (for the love of god let nancy move to a big city and find someone cute, let mike and el be besties, I don’t even care if byler happens anymore) but lucas and max deserve the world and if the duffers don’t give it to them I will haunt them for eternity
nothing in this entire show breaks my heart like nancy wheeler nodding when joyce is saying “it’s okay, i’ve got you.” that poor girl had so little comfort she had to pretend joyce was talking to her.
duffer brothers, natalia dyer, henry creel, you will be hearing from my lawyers
