Joyce goes to the graveyard on Thursdays. 

Jim’s shift ends at 5:30 on Thursdays, and her's ends at 6:00. He usually stops along the way to get them both a cup of coffee, and he stands at the counter of Melvald’s and shoots the shit with her for the last fifteen minutes of her workday. No matter what customers she dealt with during the day, whatever challenges came her way, it all gets erased by the soft rumble of Jim’s laughter and the way his eyes sparkle when he looks at her. 

Then, like clockwork, six o’clock comes. Joyce kisses him on the cheek, nothing more than a peck, punches her card into the time clock, and drives to the graveyard. Jim offers to go with her every week, but she always says no. This is one of those things that have to be done alone.

Bob’s grave is well kept. She always brings flowers- purple hyacinths- but there’s usually some other flowers sitting there too. Bob wasn’t a dynamic man, but he loved well and he loved plenty, and there are many who still want to show him gratitude for that love. Joyce is one of them. There’s a clean white headstone marks where his body lays, adorned with a quote that Joyce does not understand. 

Robert Franklin Newby

'Bob'

March 13th, 1947 -  November 4th, 1984

“I will endeavor to resign myself cheerfully to death, and will indulge a hope of meeting you in another world.”

Bob’s brother had chosen it. Apparently it was from some novel that Bob had loved, one of the books that he always suggested Joyce read, even though she never had the time to read these days. The night he died, after all of the kids were sound asleep in piles of blankets and limbs in her living room, Joyce had sat at the kitchen table and written down every single recommendation she could remember. Books, movies, music, any of the things Bob had told her she should try. 

She had read through fifteen of the forty two books on the list so far, but she still hadn’t found that quote. Joyce hopes that she’ll understand it when she finally finds the book it comes from, that somehow finding the quote is going to make Bob dying make sense. 

But until then she has Thursdays, and hyacinths, and a broken heart.

Season 2 AU Bob lives, and his relationship with Joyce becomes polyamorous to include Jim.

absolutely wild that stranger things decided to give us this sweet innocent character with a cute little nickname like bob the brains and then KILL HIM HORRIBLY IN FRONT OF US and then MAKE US WATCH THE CREATURES FEED ON HIS CORPSE i am in shambles.

My headcanon has always been that if Bob was alive he would be the first person Will comes out to, and hearing Noah say it just makes me want to cry.

Bob would have been the best dad for Will in every way possible. Will would’ve been able to talk with him about everything (even boy problems), and Bob would listen and give advice when needed. Bob would be the kind of proud dad at pride parades with those T-shirt on that says “I love my gay son”, and Will would be so embarrassed but so happy. He would be the kind of guy that knows children deserve privacy and doesn’t care if the door is open or shot, even when Mike comes over. And he’ll always knock and wait for a reply before entering their room. Will would just feel completely safe with him, and know that no matter what happened, no matter what trauma, no matter who he loves… Bob will always love him and want the best for him.

Jonathan still think he’s annoying, but he also sees how good a father figure he is for Will so he just kinda stays out the way.

I think we were all a little too distracted by Joyce’s maiden name that we totally brushed over the fact that Bob has a sister…..

Catching up on Strangetember because I got sick during my vacation and there were no desks or proper lighting. I am finishing this if it kills me!

Keeping the pattern of vecna preying on people with survivors guilt, do you think Sean Astin would come back for a "what about me will?"

I love Bob. That is all.

[raintrappedmehere]

no offense to bob, he was really a great character. i love him and all but mike trying his hardest to carry will during bob's death so that hopper can go back inside and try to help somehow distracts me from the pain.

#byler #bob newby you will always be a superhero #i'm sorry tho coz byler was jst too cute during that scene

[runninguplenorahills]

Question: does anyone have any smart thoughts on the fact that they referred to Bob as superhero as well?? “Bob newby, superhero” was kinda his catchphrase so i’m just wondering if it means anything in connection to Mike referring to El as superhero or if it’s not connected at all. As far as I know it’s not connected in any sense but it seems kinda strange to have Bob be called a superhero multiple times in s2 and then use that same word for El in s4 without it having a connection. It just seems like it shouldn’t be coincidence.

Bob died after being forced out of the literal closet and you will never hear the end of it from me like I'm still reeling from that realization

Can stranger things please stop introducing very like-able new characters and then killing them off that same season please!?! I get super attached easily! It kills me every time!!!!

Honorable mention because he wasn’t very like-able but he was nice to look at for sure
