#shake hands with STRANGERS?????

[corrodedbisexual]

My poor baby Eddie didn't deserve any of this bullshit. (Bonus background Steve going through a crisis of his own)

#eddie munson #steve harrington #steddie #stranger things #gifset #misha-bawlins gifs #i turned the lights on again so you can see things y'all welcome #joseph quinn #forever in awe with joseph's acting #the tears. the nervous twitches. the hands shaking. the muttering to himself. just. everything

I feel like Eddie is the type of guy to always have a slide whistle in his pocket and uses it to make incidental sound effects for the conversations that happen around him.

Nobody knows where he gets them all from and they don’t ask incase he takes one out and starts playing with it.

Wayne is so happy every time he loses one of the whistles. He absolutely never tells Eddie when he finds one of the numerous whistles that have rolled under the couch. He has an agreement with Steve to dispose of them secretly and securely.

Except one night when Steve’s driving around town with Eddie, he opens the glove box and there’s a bag full of whistles (seriously nobody knows where he’s getting them from. And in bulk?)

And Eddie is all ‘HEY!’ Which immediately makes Steve tense up in preparation for an argument with his easily antagonised boyfriend about the possible theft of offending musicals instruments.

But then Eddie continues with ‘more whistles! I didn’t take you for a fan dude!!’

And promptly shoves one up each of his nostrils and one in his mouth and tries to play them all at once while demanding Steve watch instead of watching the road.

Steves going to have to think of a new hiding spot.

#corroded coffin DOES have a slide whistle only song #they ALL get whistle solos #Wayne HAS had to deal with hours of slide whistle practice becuase eddie has told him ‘Wayne I NEED to be a master of my craft’ #’I mean it’s like telling Beethoven to stop playing’ #Wayne doesn’t think it’s like that at all #pre-agreement #Steve comes in to the trailer one afternoon and has to physically shake wayne to get his attention to ask what the hell the shrieking is #Wayne just hands a pair of ear plugs to Steve and points to the couch #the trials and tribulations of dating eddie munson #WEEE guess who originally was only going to post the first paragraph and put everything else in the tags #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #steve harrington #I’ve got crumbs friebds I’m so sorry

[emblazons]

not to throw people into their feels on main, but:

nothing prepared me for hearing the the London Contemporary Orchestra as they were recording the version of El’s theme when she left Papa (or the alternate take on the main theme they ended the season with)

I feel like we always analyze music and never talk about how insanely beautiful it is, and I aim to personally change that lol

#el hopper #stranger things #just…the sheer amount of work that so many people put into this show is enough to bring tears to my eyes #Kyle and Michael have made such a lovely score always and hearing orchestras reminds me how amazing it really is lmao #I want to shake all of their hands lmao #st crew #st score #the me tag

My stupid headcanon is that Steve is the kinda person to accuse everyone in the room of sitting on the tv remote when he can’t find it. Like he makes them stand up and everything.

Steve, Eddie and Robin are watching tv and he realises he can’t see the remote anywhere so he starts accusing them of sitting on it and makes them stand up and check, all while being like “why are you guys laughing? It’s not funny, I need to find it”

Eddie and Robin are laughing because it’s in Steve’s hand.

The remote is in his hand.

He hasn’t realised yet.

They continue searching for it for a good fifteen minutes, just seeing how long it takes for Steve to notice. When they need to lift the couch to look under it, Steve’s like “hang on, I can help you lift it - I just need to put the remote down…oh….oh shit”

Eddie and Robin literally collapse on the floor, howling with laughter and Steve just turns around, walks out the back door into the woods surrounding his house and does not come back for ten minutes.

Once the two inside finally calm down, Eddie turns to Robin,

“wait is he okay though? He’s kinda been gone a while.”

“Oh trust me he’s fine. Probably walking-off the embarrassment. Gotta be one with nature for a while after that humbling experience.”

#steve harrington #eddie munson #robin buckley #stranger things #steve harrington my beloved #I just know that in a modern setting he would search for his phone with the flashlight on his phone #Eddie and Robin would commit to the bit so hard #steve walks into the woods and just stands there with his hands on his hips solemnly shaking his head #at some point he realises that he is STILL holding the remote

I just want everyone to see this. Nancy has no better idea what he is talking about than Steve. Right here her face goes from "what the fuck" to "Oh! Oh, that meant we're leaving!" but she instantly follows without argument or questioning because Yes! Yes! They're gonna get shit done! Getting shit done is Nancy's jam! She may not understand what shit just yet but she's in. And I love her for that.

#nancy wheeler #stranger things #eddie munson #my gifs #I just love her face here #I want to shake her actress' virtual hand for this #and all the beautiful expressions she gave such life to #if you can get me to notice a face #you've done something amazing

i honestly don’t think i’ve been in a ship-fandom as pleasant and welcoming as the harringrove fandom. it’s the best one.

#billy hargrove #steve harrington #harringrove #stranger things #the best ship #you can fight me on it if you want but just know you will lose #they’re consuming me #and i’m not mad about it #harringrove> #harringrove is the best ship what can i say #i love harringrove lovers #give me a kiss #or a hug #or shake my hand even if you don’t do too much physical contact

Still thinking about Steve having a tremor as a result of everything he went through. Some days he can hide it but others he has to half fill his mug so he doesn’t spill his coffee, has to steady his hands against the table when he’s eating, has to slide his money across the counter when paying for his groceries. He hates that the upside down is still affecting his life, hates that he can’t pretend that time didn’t exist. His friends all know about the tremor and do their best to help without being obviously about it. Robin will handle the change with customers, stack the more flimsy shelves. Nancy writes anything Steve needs, making sure to copy his own handwriting as closely as possible. Dustin takes food over from his house, making sure there’s no peas or sauces that can be spilled. And Eddie? Eddie takes his time to kiss every finger, massage each joint and hold Steve’s hands to steady them when it becomes too much.

#idk man hands are good and looking after hands and noticing things through hands… #this is also partly the reason Steve does play dnd with them all #he wouldn’t be able to hide his shake with the roll of the dice and doesn’t want to be judged more than he already is #steddie #stranger things #eddie munson #steve harrington #robin buckley #nancy wheeler #platonic stobin #I have other thoughts about Dustin and jargyle too but didn’t want to be too much

before I pass out, I know I’ve been talking about Mike and Queen and byelr and Queen and I have one specific hot take about it:

Mike loves “I’m in Love With my Car”

Will fucking hates it. Cannot stand it.

Mike blasts it in the car every now and then whenever it’s his turn to choose the music specifically to annoy Will.

Mike sings along to it dramatically (including the car noises) like how he was singing to El in s3 except Will does shit him down, even though he can’t stand the song, he still loves seeing Mike be a dork so he just rolls his eyes and laughs

#stranger things #byler #mike wheeler #will byers #byler songs #for the record #‘I’m in love with my car’ fucking SLAPS #s3 mike singing to el scene except he’s singing I’m in love with my car #*mike shaking el’s hand in the air like in s3* ‘ITS LIKE A DISEASE SON…. CARS DONT TURN BACK THEYRE JUST FOUR WHEEL FRIENDS NOW’

*vibrating into another plane of existence* I fucking love road-trip stories so much. I love travel horror. It’s the distance. It’s the isolation and the liminality and finding creature comforts while you drag yourself from place to place. Lumpy mattresses and shitty coffee and diners filled with cigarette smoke and people who are not your friends. But they could be friendly. You, stranger, drifter, are the threat, are the unknown. Make yourself comfortable while you can; you know this isn’t gonna last. You have a destination. A home. Or, at the very least, your home sure as hell isn’t here. So keep moving.

#hi hi im relistening to Alice isn’t dead to get into the horror writing mood #it 100% shakes hands with trigun (esp max/98) for the hostile drifter elements #‘you are not welcome here stranger’ and ‘you are looking for someone’ you get me? #also can you tell I traveled a Lot growing up? like a LOT a lot??? #damn these past few years have been the first time I’d lived somewhere that didn’t have an expiration date #and even then…shit. even then
