#lol dustin vs billy is on guys

[weird-an]

Billy sips his coffee and wishes it was beer. But Steve gave him one stern look when he reached for the bottle, so he took milk instead.

"You," Henderson says, squinting his eyes like they're in a stupid Western and about to draw their guns.

It's not a duel, Steve had explained. He just wanted them to meet, to get to know each other, apparently forgetting that Billy Hargrove doesn't hang out with nerds.

"'Sup," Billy grumbles. He can hear Steve rummaging upstairs, probably taking longer to join them than necessary. Harrington's a bad liar with a heart of gold.

That's why Billy…. Well, he should probably try to not get into a fight. Steve is the only good thing in his life. The definition of good - another reason why Billy doesn’t fucking deserve him.

"He likes you," Henderson tells him, a puzzled look on his face. "Why?"

The coffee turns cold on Billy's tongue. Fuck him, why should he know?

"Got my qualities." He puts on a leering grin and winks at Henderson.

Dustin's nose turns a little green and he makes a belching sound.

Billy cackles.

"Billy." Steve clicks his tongue. Shit. Billy didn't notice him coming back.

Billy raises his hands. "I didn't do shit," he promises.

"Babe," Steve says, rolling his eyes and Billy's face grows hot.

"Babe," Dustin repeats, a twinkle in his eyes. Distraught and joy melt together, making him grin widely.

"It's a joke," Billy lies. Shit shit shit. He's going to tell Max and Billy will never hear the end of it. "Steve's joking."

"Uh, sure," Steve agrees, cheeks as red as cherries.

"Steve, you really need to get better at lying," Dustin laughs. "Maybe Babe here-"

"Henderson," Billy growls. Dustin will regret that.

"Jesus," Steve sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"This isn't what I expected," Dustin snorts, still giggling.

"Same," Billy says flatly.

"If you don't kiss in front of me, I won't tell Max," the kid offers.

Billy won't get blackmailed by a baby nerd.

He gives Steve a big wet kiss on the mouth.

Dustin makes a strangled noise.

Maybe it's a duel after all.

Another long ramble about how Lucas and Steve are a friendship we need to happen.

In my head, I see Lucas as the party's Steve, he's wrist rocket is the nailbat, he's into sports, school, is the most outgoing and even though he's super silly and fun he seems to have game lol. Lucas tries to look out for everyone and is invested in his friends love lives.

Mike and Lucas talking in the basement while El spied on them was pretty much Steve and Robin in Steve's car talking about Vicki.

Like S1 & S2 Lucas just scream mini Steve to me. And I live for it. The other seasons do to tbh.

Steve wanting to go with Nancy in S4 had the same vibes as Lucas wanting to protect Max S2 in the arcade when he was trying to tell her about the weirdness they've all been through.

Lucas Vs Jason had Steve Vs Billy vibes, accept Lucas had a comeback.

So yeah, for me, Lucas is The Party's Steve. I'm never going to be able to see it any other way. More so since S4 he had that perfect on trend high top fade lol he's got the flawless hair now and everything.

This duo needs to happen again. I need Lucas to have the 'he's awesome' realization that Dustin had about Steve S2. Or Steve being big brother and comforting Lucas about Max while he's reading her books in the hospital.

I'm obsessed with this friendship that needs to happen.

.... Steve and Lucas playing catch to just clear their minds and get a grip on what's going on around them. They don't even have to say anything, just the, "I'm here, man. And I completely understand." sort of thing.

Steve's had his moment with all the kids accept Will, El, and Lucas.

.....although with Argyle in the picture, I can *totally* see him filling the same role with Lucas but differently. I think he'd get a kick out of Lucas saying, "Tooootally Tuuubular!" Lucas would love hearing more about California, He's probably like pineapple pizza (pfft watch him hate it canonically).

That being said... and I swear this rant is freakin endless, I am sorry....

But Argyle is probably a good comfort friend for Dustin too, Dustin would love his sense of style and Argyle is probably the only one who could pull a smile from the little guy who's going to clearly be heartbroken and just...yeah. Argyle asking him what's wrong and calling him 'Little Dude'

This is all just my personal madness opinion so don't mind me lol Lucas reminds me who reminds me of Dustin who reminds me of Argyle and they always in up lumped together in my random S5 want lists.

Hypothetical Stranger Things season 3 premiere plot outline

Just for fun, I thought I’d stretch out my writing muscles and write out my version of the season three premiere. Hopefully, this makes for an entertaining read!

Season 3 is set in 1985 but the opening scene will be a flashback to the moment Eleven opened the gate to the Upside Down. She escapes while most of the staff is killed by the Demogorgon. After the initial wreckage, a man walks through the gate. This is the Crooked Man, a new main character and one of the main antagonists of the season. He serves the Mind Flayer and his goal is to reopen the gate. The Crooked Man walks away from the building and into the night. In my head, I had Edward James Olmos portraying this character.

We then cut to present day. 

Eleven, now going by the name “Jane Hopper”, is at her first day of school. She expects to be picked on for hanging out with Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Will, and Max. However, the complete opposite happens. Unintentionally, she makes friends with the popular crowd and Troy the bully develops a crush on her, much to Mike’s chagrin.   

Jonathan, Nancy, and Steve are getting ready for their last year of high school, with Nancy getting an acceptance letter for UC Berkeley (chose that because I went there lol). Jonathan pursues professional photography while Steve is aimless, unsure of his future. We get some backstory and learn that Steve’s father died in the Vietnam War, which leads to him thinking about joining the military in order to honor his father’s name.

Hopper and Joyce have been regularly hanging out, mainly because Joyce feels that Jane needs a maternal figure in her life. Yes, this is the season where they get together. 

Going back to the AV club, Mike and Jane are still going strong, as well as Lucas and Max. Dustin, having been rejected by every girl at the Snow Ball, is a bit down when we first see him mainly due to jealousy. He doesn’t hate Mike and Lucas but he wishes he was in a relationship. This leads to the introduction of one of our new main characters, Quinn Chen.

Quinn’s family moved to Hawkins from New York City. To contrast Jane and Max, Quinn is very much a “popular girl” type. Outgoing, easy to talk to, always has a group of people following and praising her, and always knows what the current trends are. Her family is wealthier than the typical Hawkins family, which is something that Will immediately notices. In my head, I had Lily Chee portraying this character (she played young Elektra in DD season two).

Quinn rejects Dustin at first due to his “nerd” status until two things happen. One, he makes her laugh, which she says she needed. Two, he discovers she’s secretly a huge nerd who has Star Wars and Doctor Who merchandise in her locker. Dustin invites her to join the group, which she accepts. Everyone is initially wary of Quinn since they view her as the “vapid rich popular girl” except for Jane since she’s just happy to make another female friend. 

(This part is past the season premiere: If it’s not obvious, Quinn and Dustin are gonna get together in the season finale. The TWIST though is we find out that Quinn’s family is part of a larger cult that worships the Mind Flayer. Turns out, the Mind Flayer has been trying to reach Earth for centuries and has its own group of followers. Eleven opening the gate was the closest that the Mind Flayer got to succeeding in its goal. Quinn’s family moved to Hawkins when they find out about what happened in seasons one and two. Now, although Quinn’s family worships the monster, Quinn does NOT. In fact, she immediately turns on her family the moment she discovers the truth).

The action begins when we cut to Billy Hargrove, who has toned down his bullying after losing to his sister. Billy, while driving around, encounters the Crooked Man in the middle of the road. The Crooked Man destroys Billy’s car and asks him, “What happened to the gate?”

Billy says, “What the hell are you talking about?” which leads to the Crooked Man breaking one of Billy’s legs. Before the Crooked Man can finish the job, we’re introduced to another new main character, Adam. Adam whips a chain at the Crooked Man, hurting him. The Crooked Man disappears into a puff of smoke and Adam runs over to help Billy. In my head, Adam is portrayed by Steven Yeun. 

Mad Max and the rest of the gang rush over to the hospital when they learn about what happened to Billy. Billy tells them about a strange man who destroyed his car with his mind. Mike pulls Jane to the side and says, “Guy with mind powers, you think he’s one of Brenner’s?”

Jane says, “Could be. I told you about Kali. There’s still nine others that we haven’t met and we’re not even sure I’m the last one!” 

Meanwhile, Hopper confronts Adam. Before Hopper can ask any questions, Adam says, “I know what happened here. The gate to the other world was opened.”

Hopper, stunned, says, “How do you know?”

Adam then says, “Because it’s my job to make sure the portal stays shut.” Without going into too much detail, Adam explains that he’s one of many who oppose the Mind Flayer. The only reason why he didn’t know about what was happening in Hawkins is because Jane opened the gate accidentally. He’s only been focusing on actual attempts to breach the Mind Flayer’s world. 

Adam threatens violence if Jane ever opens the gate again (“I’ll burn this town to the ground if she even attempts to open the gate again”). Before Hopper can say anything, Adam disappears. We’ll see more of him in the rest of the season. 

As the day comes to an end, we cut to Steve Harrington’s home. He’s gotten over his breakup with Nancy and decides that he’ll enlist in the Marines in order to get away from Hawkins. Suddenly, his house is attacked by the Crooked Man! The Crooked Man holds Steve by the neck and demands that he tell him how “they” opened the gate. Steve says he doesn’t know and the Crooked Man tosses Steve out the window, knocking him out. 

Jane is alerted to the commotion when Hopper gets an urgent call to respond to the situation. Hopper heads out but tells Jane to stay put. She disobeys and gets on her bike, following closely behind.

The police have cornered the Crooked Man. In one of the more violent scenes of the show, the Crooked Man proceeds to decimate the officers. Hopper arrives as this is happening and begins firing at the Crooked Man, doing no damage. El then arrives and she blasts the Crooked Man with her mind. The Crooked Man, remembering that El was the one who sealed the gate, grabs her and disappears. Hopper screams into the night when he realizes that El is nowhere to be found.

We then cut to the Byers family home. There is a knock on the door and Joyce answers it. The episode ends with Joyce meeting the last of our new main characters. He introduces himself as Seth Ives, Jane’s biological father, and that he wants his daughter back. In my head, I had David Tennant portraying Seth. 

So for the rest of the season, our main arcs / subplots will be:

1) The whole gang versus the Crooked Man (Jane doesn’t stay kidnapped for too long. I actually pictured her escaping the Crooked Man in the next episode)

2) Dustin and Quinn romance, which will lead to Quinn’s family revealing themselves as followers of the Mind Flayer. Quinn’s family are the secondary main antagonists. 

3) Adam reluctantly working with Team Hawkins when he realizes they have similar goals. Adam is a bit like the Punisher since despite having noble intentions, his attitude and methods make him a threat. Adam frequently butts heads with Hopper and Joyce, who think he is too extreme.

4) Seth Ives vs. Jim Hopper over guardianship of Jane / El. Seth is revealed to be one of Brenner’s former lab partners before they split due to Brenner’s lack of ethics. Seth had gone into hiding after Brenner threatened his life, that’s why he’s been MIA.  

5) Billy recovering in the hospital and somewhat redeeming himself. His quest for vengeance against the Crooked Man leads to him forming a temporary alliance with Team Hawkins. 

6) Steve wondering about his place in Hawkins and if he should stay or go 

7) The AV club recruiting Kali and her gang in the fight against the Crooked Man. 

8) Dr. Brenner’s return. He issues an order for the termination of all of his experiments, namely Kali and El. He also orders Seth’s assassination in order to tie up any remaining loose ends.
