I Hate Starkid (affectionately) For Being Able To Take The Highschool Weird Weeb Trope Character That

i hate starkid (affectionately) for being able to take the highschool weird weeb trope character that is always written to be dunked on and for laughs and make that complex and endearing and hopeful and tragic

and i also hate jon (affectionately) for breathing such life into him and give him all the little tics (the way he hits his ts and ks as richie really is so good) and energies and the thought put in to be silly ("NANI???" still has me cackling) and a real weirdo but still make him human

like a character like that is usually not given the time of day to be anything more than a joke punching bag they just said "okay what if we actually took him seriously"

like he has an attack on titan backpack most narratives would have us not caring about him

man they poured so much weirdo charm and gut wrenching inevitability into richie aaaaaaa

i cant believe they made us cry over a weeb

Hopper accidentally becomes the biggest ally in Hawkins out of hatred for Mike Wheeler. El wants to date Max? Perfect, Mike is terrified of Max. El wants to date Max and Lucas? Even better, more people to keep Mike away. Will comes out to Joyce and Hop? Hopper is immediately studying up on gay culture and flagging so he can find him a Hop ApprovedTM boyfriend. He sees that nice boy Gareth cuff his jeans one time and starts inviting him to family dinner. Mike seems annoyed that Steve is spending more time with Munson? A pamphlet titled “Accepting your Bisexuality” finds its way into Steve’s jacket pocket. Hopper has never seen Mike as furious as the day Steve and Munson arrive at dinner holding hands. It’s a good day. Hopper isn’t sure how Nancy dating the Buckley girl will annoy Mike, but he’s willing to give it a shot.
