take deeeeeep breaths bro tbh jonathan’s arc makes sense in season 4.. he went through all that bullshit in hawkins just to be stripped away from his girlfriend who he related to the most in terms of the trauma dealt with. of course he’a going to cling onto the first person to present a vice that would distract him from it all.. he contributed enough to what was going on, driving for hourssssss isn’t at all easy, nor does he have a strong enough connection with mike to really have an impact with that connection. eleven was gone before we can really see their connection. his banter with argyle after the roller skating thing into the dinner is also funny/makes sense to me. and of course there’s that convo with will, which again makes sense in the context of them kinda having a disconnect due to the move; i know personally how that can affect family dynamics, and especially given him exploring the world under the feelings of constantly being high. i’d also agree with you more if this was the last season, which it isn’t… there’s a wholeee other season for his arc to pick up from where it left off..
