Okay but hear me out!

Punk King Steve 'The Hair' Harrington! He starts to go Punk even before season 1!

Just! Hear me out!?!

What about pre season 1 Steve goes on one last business trip with his parents to like New York or Boston or something cause he still had hope that maybe if he went with them after a victorious sophomore year making Varsity and actually having decent grades and a reputation at school built on charm and being a good little Harrington heir his parents would actually act like they care. What happens is he ends up being dragged along to and shown off at boring dinner parties but is otherwise left alone and unsupervised. He stumbles across a music store where he is obviously out of place but the music playing is loud and angry and matches the knot filling up his chest. So he spends most of the trip exploring the city with this group of people who recognize the anger in him and aren't the type to gatekeep cause what's more punk than finding your own path? Even if it's not the same as theirs he still deserves the space to find out.

And yeah he seems more the 'infiltrate and dismantle' type than the 'throw a flaming brick' type but the spirit is there.

So he learns to coiff his hair and make it big but not so much his mom would kill him. He learns to wear pants and style his shirts so they accentuate his form not make him look soft and respectable and to accessorize in small ways that are obvious to those who are observant enough to look and to those who know what to look for but still not be so showy his parents will get on him for anything. He gets a bunch of tapes and spends time making mixtapes of his favorites and buys a walkman so he can listen to his music without his parents hearing. He learns how to discreetly add a bit of blush and natural tinted mascara and tinted chapstick cause he learns he likes makeup but that sort of thing would cause problems in a place like Hawkins. He builds a greater tolerance with these people he's come to trust and learns you can actually enjoy getting drunk when it's just being stupid with some friends and not meant to make a statement. And before he has to go home he's gifted a bottle of sheer pink nail polish that makes his nails look healthy and taken care of and natural but he'll know and that's all that matters.

Steve goes back to Hawkins a little different, a little meaner, a little looser and more self-assured. Steve goes back to Hawkins and notices Nancy Wheeler. The perfect prissy princess with an edge that intrigued him even if he saw it by accident. And he spends the entire time he woos and subsequently dates her trying to bring that out, that bit of steel and fire that still really worked with her soft hyper femme aesthetic. And he falls head over heels for this girl who is soft but resilient and polite but opinionated and who obviously wants MORE and he wants to give it to her.

But then Will Byers goes missing, followed by Barb and Nancy is showing her steel but at the side of Jonathan Byers as his parents leave messages extending their trip and leaving forwarding numbers that he knows won't work when he really needs them. And he breaks the camera and that makes him feel like he's falling back into who he was before the music and the summer away from this small town. They fight in an alley after he says things he doesn't believe but knows would hurt because he couldn't get the clawing in his chest to just go away. And he takes the beating because he knows he was wrong and he remembers the scared looks people gave him that one time he got into a bar fight he doesn't actually remember but knows he won with a guy who wouldn't take a no from one of the girls in the group Steve was drinking with.

So he takes the beating and doesn't press charges and goes to apologize after dumping Tommy and Carol and comes face to face with something from his worst nightmares. He goes back after running away because he can't leave them there. He picks up a bat with nails run through it and lets loose the thing clawing in his chest. He keeps himself between the monster and the others and he keeps them safe. Will comes home. Barb doesn't.

He goes to Indianapolis for a new camera for Jonathan and comes back with more angry music. He keeps making trips and comes back with the sides of his hair shaved in not quite a Mohawk but close and a tattoo or two in places he can hide easily and a heavy leather jacket. The changes make the pacing thing in his chest quiet some and he wears a smile around Nancy and the Hollands and he walks tall through the hallways of Hawkins High his senior year.

Tommy Hagan tries to say he went bitch for Nancy Wheeler since he doesn't sleep around anymore or take his frustrations out on those weaker and less fortunate than him and he tries to say Steve is joining the freaks like Munson and his nerds but even they won't have him. Tommy Hagan and some others try to jump Steve in an empty hallway after school and before practice to "teach the dethroned King a lesson", because if Byers could leave him a bloody mess then he was never that tough. The others sport bruises and split lips and bruised egos. Tommy Hagan had a broken nose and bruised ribs and a look of fear when he's within 10 feet of his former best friend.

Steve Harrington has no throne and no court but he still undeniably wears the crown.

i think the scrimblo catalogue and the merch videos should be in the same alternate universe that's tmc but everything is funnier. Mark saw the Cesar plush outside his door, proceeded to completely ignore it, and then got run over by a car alternate. it is also set in the early 2000s already just so he has enough time to get cancelled on Twitter

you’re so immature

you lack so much depth

youre afraid of failure

youre afraid of success

youre afraid to try

you’re even afraid to cry in front of your father

dont know if you’re afraid he’ll notice, or that he wont

I finally got around to making a Bingo card for my Stranger Things S4P2 predictions, and here’s the result. I tried to have a mixture of things I actually think will happen, and things I’m just hoping will happen, but who knows! I could be pleasantly surprised, though my expectations aren’t very high haha.

#stranger things season 4 #my predictions #if anything happens to Steve I'll cry #getting vecna'd is my favorite new phrase #lumax harringrove and ronance are canon #or at least they are in my heart #st4 spoilers #potentially if I am blessed with the gift of prophecy #I'm sorry but I actually am kinda hoping E*die dies #but in a cool way #because I love his character #but he pretty much only had chemistry with Chrissy imo #so I hope he's the S4 death everyone was mentioning and not Steve lmao #I really don't care which wins between byler and mileven because both are good

just read a buddie fic where buck has an eating disorder and the healing journey he takes with eddie’s help and y’all..

it was so realistic im about to cry. one of the first ed fics around a fandom im in that didn’t glamorize it and also handled the relationship during healing aspect really well…

i needed this so bad. sobbing

#screaming crying sobbing #there was so much love???? #but no glamorization of the ed???? #like they perfectly portrayed how an ed makes you think it’s good for you without making it sound like the author/whole story was saying it #haven’t found an ed fic this good LET ALONE have it be one of my ships #currently sobbing #but in a cool way #in a good way #tw ed #ed #buddie #ao3
