For the tiktok saga, has Eddie ever been invited to the Met Gala? And would he go? I feel like Steve might be more into it than Eddie, but maybe if there was a cool theme that year where he could wear something crazy? What do you think?
I definitely think that Steve would be more into it than Eddie, but not because Steve is more into fashion. He just likes to judge people.
One year Eddie’s manager tells him that he’s been invited to the Met Gala and asks if he wants to accept the invitation. Eddie, who only vague knows what the Met Gala is through Steve, is like, “Sure, why not?”
He mentions it to Steve a couple days later and says that he’ll try to get him a ticket if he wants. Steve is like, “…You do know those tickets are like, thirty-five thousand dollars, right?”
Eddie says, “…Excuse me?” and promptly finds out that they are nonrefundable too.
So, Eddie attends the Met Gala.
He specifically attends the 2018 Met Gala where the theme is Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination and definitely commits some kind of sin when he shows up as a literal crucifixion.
Specifically, his own.  
The year previous, Hawkins High named their new music room after him and it has pissed him off ever since because Eddie was crucified by that town. They hunted him down with the intention of killing him and no one in that town ever said sorry.
So, Eddie showed up at one of the biggest events of the year wearing an exact replica of the outfit that he’d been wearing during Spring Break of ’86. His leather jacket was water damaged and his Hellfire t-shirt was shredded and torn like it’d survived an animal attack.
He paid a very talented practical effects artist to make his scars look like they had been torn open and were bleeding and then to up the Catholic Imagery and to piss off a few more people, he did the whole crown of thorns and holes in the hands.
He wrote ‘Fuck Hawkins’ around the holes.
He made the local news channel in Hawkins and Eddie was not invited back the next year. He was pleased.
