Summary
Jonathan only knew how to sweep new pieces of broken glass up with his hands and try not to cut anyone else on them. Damage control was what he was best at, but outside of that he felt completely incompetent. His job wasn’t to question it, his job wasn’t to have friends and go to parties, his job was to take care of his fucked up family, and do everything in his power to not end up like his father.
Or
Stranger things through Jonathan’s perspective. (A character study)

Summary
Jonathan thought it was stupid. The whole thing was stupid. Just because Will was quiet and small, and sensitive as his mom said, didn’t mean that… Didn’t give them permission to say things like that. Jonathan had been called queer before, quite a few times in fact, he was also quiet but the vitriol they say it with, when they direct it at his brother.
Frightened him.
The whole town had marked his baby brother as wrong. As different. As a mistake.
Jonathan wanted to burn the whole town down. With their accusations, and gossip; their fake and vapid smiles hiding any piece of authenticity. They all lied and hid, and they hated his brother because he didn’t.
Because he couldn’t.
It terrified him because they were right.
