Actress for Genderswapped Steve Harrington?
I’ve always had multiple headcanons of who I think would play Steve Harrington in a gender swapped Stranger Things. I think Emmy Rossum could be a fantastic choice. Not only did she prove on Shameless that she’s a hot badass, but she’s really good at giving off older sister/mamma bear energy. I also think Renée Rapp could be amazing. Not only was she incredible as Regina George in the new Mean Girls (so we know she can play the rich, bitchy popular girl that you can’t help but fall in love with) but she’s also amazing as Leighton in The Sex Lives of College Girls (so we know she can play the ex-mean girl who’s growing and learning to find herself). And then I think Ella Purnell could be a really good younger/high school Steve Harrington. I think her character in Yellowjackets reminds me so much of Steve in the earlier seasons. She’s self-absorbed and entitled but is also a badass, a team leader, and at the end of the day is just a scared, insecure girl who wants to be loved. What do other people think? Who do you all imagine as Stephanie/Steph/Stevie Harrington? I’d love to know, I’m really curious.

Ok so I know Wayne is played by Joel Stoffer and he did a great job, but literally since the beginning of me reading steddie Wayne has been J.K Simmons in my mind, I just think he'd deliver my funnier Wayne lines better.
You tell me that ain't the Wayne that would joke around with Steve about Eddie's baby pictures

Ngl Might write an Older Brother AU with Timothèe Chalamet, Natalia Dyer, and Finn Wolfhard. I never felt that "Holly Wheeler" was very crucial to the Stranger Things storyline so I'ma ditch her and replace her with "Robertt "Rob" Wheeler" (find it on AO3 Here)
"Robertt "Rob" Wheeler" Headcanons:
× How old is he? ×
• He's the eldest in the group. He's older than Steve and Nancy anyway. Eddie's age. Robert was born in January of '65, with Nancy being born in November of '67, and Mike in April of '71,
× What kind of screen time does he have? ×
•Season One: He wouldn't show up much because he would be off studying for finals. But he would warn Nancy about hanging out with Steve after telling her he saw Steve sneaking out while he was out smoking.
•Season Two: he would have minimal screen time because he's in college.
•Season Three: He would have a bit of screen time, this would be the season he learns about the upside down. He would be helping with the Russians and would comfort El about Hopper.
•Season Four: He would have a lot of screen time.
He would totally be there to stand up for Hellfire Club. (Plot twist + flash back) He was once a member. After all, that's how Mike got into D&D.
He and Eddie used to be good friends. Eddie missed Robbie after he got held back the first time, then he got held back again and Robertt moved on to high school, leaving him in junior high.
Once he learns Eddie's in trouble he rushed to help. When Eddie dies, he takes it HARD. Maybe just as hard as Dustin. When he show comes to a close in the field of flowers, you can barely see will hugging him as he cries in the background. From the conversation Will had with Jonathan you can assume Robertt had a thing for Eddie, because why would Will be hugging Robertt and not Nancy or Mike??
•Season Five: He would have the screen time of a main character, he's helping fight, he's in the upside down, he's protecting his siblings, avenging Eddie. He might even sacrifice himself to save them if it comes down to it in the bitter end. It would be worth it. And he finally understands why Eddie did it, and he's happy to finally see in again.
× What are his personality traits? ×
• Shy to a fault but will sit next to someone just to let them know he cares. Loves to give gifts and make things. Mike often gets him to make the party Christmas gifts.
• Likes to cook and read. His favorite food is vegetarian soup (yes he's vegetarian and yes he gets picked on for it) and his favorite book/play is Romeo and Juliet.
• Will help his siblings with homework, or just do it for them if they ask nicely.
• He's kind of like Steve in the way that you can talk to him about anything, and he's sort of a babysitter/ cab driver, he was more trusted with Mike when he was younger but now Mrs. Wheeler just doesn't care.
× How did he become friends with everyone? ×
• Became friends with Mike and Nancy because their siblings.
• Became friends with Dustin, Lucus, and Will after he showed Mike what D&D was. After he went off for college, Mike took over the dungeon master position, using his big brothers old books.
• Became friends with Jonathan through him waiting for Will to quit playing D&D at their house.
• Became friends with Robin and Steve after Steve yelled "Rob?!" And both Robin and Robertt said "Yeah?!"
• Became friends with Max through a love for skateboarding.
• Became friends with Eleven back when she was hiding out in the basement. He knew Eleven was down there the whole time. He would go down there after work and see her sitting there... He would talk to her through the day to pass the time, distract his parents from seeing her, and tell mike he was an idiot. Of course he wouldn't elaborate on why Mike was an idiot, but he figured he knew why.
• Became friends with Eddie when they were kids through D&D. Back when his hair was buzzed and he didn't have those sweet old tatties yet.
