#while eddie died

[oceanofflavor]

Nothing will ever be funnier to me than the Duffer Brothers creating Eddie Munson and bringing him into the show just to kill him off because they're too scared to kill off any of their main characters then it totally blowing up in their faces because everyone fell in love with him and he became the most talked about thing in season 4.

They tried to play it safe like they do every season, by bringing in a new character and killing them off at the end of the season so they could have an emotional death, but avoid killing off any of the main characters whose deaths would actually impact the story and it finally backfired on them.

I have to laugh. It’s ridiculous. They’re ridiculous. Yes, I’m still crushed over Eddie’s death, it broke my heart, but this backlash they're getting is hilarious because their same old tricks finally caught up to them and they're never going to hear the end of it.

#joseph quinn #eddie munson #eddie munson x reader #stranger things #stranger things 4 #the duffers are so scared to take risks #it’s hilarious #they couldn’t even commit to killing max #not that i wanted her to die #i love her #but gave el god like powers to save her so she wouldn't be dead dead #while eddie died #and from what? #the same wounds that steve got when he was better protected than steve #the plot armor some of these characters i love have is making me resent them for real #i’m so tired #anyway #eddie munson should be alive

Steddie AU where they meet cause Eddie stumbled into his neighbour's (Steve's) apartment at 3am drunk after a gig as his key for some reason works on Steve's door and Steve wound up knocking him out with a frying pan Rapunzel style.

#steddie #shitpost #let us not forget that Eddie is a wet cat covered in tattoos who died immediately #while Steve is RENOWNED for improvised weaponry

HELLO. has anyone considered that eddie munson buzzed his own hair in middle school because he had zero impulse control and some older kid at a party offered him $12 to give himself a reverse mohawk

#wayne grumbling to himself on the front porch the next morning while shaving the rest of eddie’s hair off #the battery in his electric razor died bc eddie has so much hair so he #‘had to ask edna to borrow her clippers. hell’s the matter with you son?’ #eddie munson #wayne munson #eddie munson hc #eddie munson has adhd #he’s an idiot your honor

[finntheehumaneater]

honestly, the duffer brothers have fucked up with a lot of things, but one of the big ones for me was them not letting Eddie say “i’m glad to be with you, Dustin Henderson. Here at the end of all things.” While Dustin was holding Eddie’s dying body in his arms.

#LET HIM BE A NERD WHILE HE DIES #I BEG OF YOU #PLEASEEEE #alternatively this could be seen as Steddie also if you want to make it sad and romantic #But he should have gotten to be the biggest nerd ever in his final fucking moments #:( #‘Eddie Munson #Dustin Henderson #Steve Harrington #steddie #<—kind of.

I have a headcanon that Eddie waited 20 minutes and then called Tommy to apologize for “ruining their date” and encourages Tommy to give Buck a second chance.

#Eddie Diaz #BuckTommy #I love the fact that Buck was ready to leave it at ‘I fucked up’ and Eddie’s the one that said ‘don’t walk away’ #and I totally think Eddie would play matchmaker because when’s the last time he LIKED someone Buck dated? #he wasn’t there for Abby (and his only interaction with her was finding out she got ENGAGED while she was ghosting Buck #Aly was just a nonstarter and I KNOW the guy that watched Buck cough up blood would be PISSED to learn Aly left while Buck was recovering #and we all know how he felt about Taylor #and he lowkey was annoyed with Natalia liking that Buck almost died #considering Buck’s death was the worst three minutes of Eddie’s life since Shannon died #but TOMMY??? he loves Tommy!!! #Tommy is his bro of course he wants Tommy to date his best friend #any guy or girl would be lucky to have Buck #if Eddie swung that way (whichhetotallydoesnt) he’d date Buck himself!!! #basically I think Eddie hasn’t Figured It Out so he’s super going to get Buck a boyfriend #and then realize months later that HE wanted to be Buck’s boyfriend the whole time

looking very closely at the website neighborhood and here's some little things i noticed (plus some overthinking & flower symbolism):

~ the only butterflies on the "map" are the ones outside of Frank's house, and the single one outside of Eddie's.

~~ i think the flowers outside of Eddie's are either hyacinths or lavender. given that the flowers are different colors, they're probably hyacinths. which is a Fascinating choice to me, because hyacinths can symbolize regret, devotion (especially beyond death), love, forgiveness, and jealousy - depending on the flower color. Eddie has light blue, dark blue, and purple. The butterfly is landing on the purple one (sorrow, mourning, forgiveness, regret, devoted love).

~~ its also Fascinating because the myth behinds hyacinths is about the greek god Apollo and his (male) human lover, Hyacinthus. they were playing discus (metal frisbee). Apollo threw the discus too hard, and it bounced back and hit Hyacinthus, killing him. devastated, Apollo grew the hyacinth flower from Hyacinthus' spilled blood. SO THE FACT THAT EDDIE, GAY PUPPET EDDIE, HAS HYACINTH FLOWERS OUTSIDE THE POST OFFICE IS UM. INCH RESTING!

~~ (also also in the myth, Apollo wanted to rescind his immortality to join Hyacinthus in his death. and in an alternate version of the myth, Hyacinthus was technically murdered, because Zephyrus was jealous that Apollo preferred a mortal over him & purposefully blew the discus off course to strike Hyacinthus. things to think about. yes, in this whole myth metaphor im viewing Eddie as Hyacinthus and Frank as Apollo. do with this what you will)

~ All of the trees in the neighborhood are in the same general style, except for the tree outside of Sally's home, which is a pine tree. i wonder why!

~ the only buildings with second floors are Barnaby's, Frank's, Sally's, and Poppy's homes. rip the "wally falls down the stairs" memes

~ there's a teeny tiny Home in the post office display window

~ Julie's house has quite a lot of heart symbolism. like, a weird amount. an amount to the point where i now have an entire theory around what her role and arc might be. i Will talk about it with minimal prompting.

~ one of the swingset balloons has a happy face balloon with its eyes closed, which stands out to me (and fuels my julie theory)

~ the only neighbors who don't have flowers outside of their buildings are Sally, Julie (disregarding decoration), and Howdy.

~ Poppy has daffodils, which symbolize rebirth, new beginnings, resilience, and hope. however, they have a negative side of selfishness.

~ Barnaby has red, yellow, and blue tulips. red means undying love, admiration, and truth. yellow means "there's sunshine in your smile", joy, happiness, friendship - But it can also mean unrequited love or jealousy. Blue means individuality, trust, and good luck

~~ note that there's a dead/trampled white tulip. white tulips symbolize sorrow, "my condolences", apology, honor, purity, faith.

~ Frank has sunflowers, daisies, and some others, but those i think are more generic, unspecific flowers for added decoration. i couldn't find a "red flower on vine" that fits the general look of the ones on his house. now, sunflowers symbolize adoration, loyalty, longevity, happiness (also, might i add that these flowers are from another greek myth about apollo, this one where Apollo turns a jealous nymph into a sunflower for snitching on his mortal lover, which got her (the lover) killed. inch resting indeed.)

~~ also blue daisies, which i am assuming are the blue flowers outside his house, symbolize freedom, trust, loyalty, confidence, and honesty. lots of positivity surrounding Frank's house!

~ Wally has daisies. these symbolize innocence, purity, new beginnings, hope, and affection. it can also symbolize the ability to keep a secret. a fun fact i found interesting is the word daisy comes from an old english word meaning "day's eye."

~~ do i believe these flower choices were purposeful? maybe. probably. it does seem strange that there are specific, distinct flowers drawn in equally specific parts of the "map", while a couple of generic "cartoon" style flowers are sprinkled throughout

~ three green apples are growing on the tree next to Howdy's Place

~ it stands out to me that the bodega window above the fruit stands is completely blacked out. no window shine or nothing

~ Sally's "yard" is weirdly barren. everyone else's buildings (excluding Home) has several things decorating the surrounding area. all she has is a spotlight and a tree.

~ Barnaby's house having paint all over it (and a paintbrush & can next to it) is just cute to me. it makes me think that he wanted to paint like his lil' buddy Wally and just went ham with it. or it was a team effort between them<3

~ it took me a while to notice the tiny "Eddie's" painted above Post Office. it gives the vibe (to me) of him tacking on the "Eddie's" to make the office feel more like his. maybe he saw the sign "Howdy's Place" and decided to paint his name on his building to make himself feel more established and at home

~ there's something on / part of Frank's roof. i don't know what it is. if anyone has an idea please tell me its driving me insane. at first i thought it was a chimney but theres two? making an additional symmetrical structure? idk!!

~ there are only three buildings with straight up rainbows. Eddie's post office (hanging from the roof and in the window), Sally's house (the entire front), and Frank's house (butterfly on the door wreath. i almost didn't catch it, it's a sneaky one!)

#conclusion: i am definitely overthinking but being proven wrong through discovery is half of the fun #(and turning out to be either right on the money or even partially-right is the other half of the fun) #its just!!! its really strange how fitting some of the flower choices are!! #eddie has flowers that are 'from' a greek myth about tragic gay love. #barnaby has a trampled tulip that is often used as a sympathy funeral flower. along with all of his other character references to death #frank has one of the few flowers other than hyacinths that directly links to a greek myth where apollo's mortal lover dies tragically #(which is just a weird coincidence if you ask me. the canon lovers both having greek myth apollo based tragic love flowers) #wally has flowers that symbolize keeping secrets and whos etymology is literally 'days eye'. him. the eye contact connoisseur #who's from something that puts emphasis on daytime while spurning night as something forbidden #ITS JUST!!!! WHY DOES IT FIT SO WELL!!!! #either these are some craaaaazy coinkydinks or this was Purposeful. #my flower-symbolism loving ass is chewing on this like a rabid dog #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #welcome home speculation

[scintillyyy]

i appreciate the humor in "har, har tim thought bruce was such a cringefail he didn't want him to be his dad so he created a fake uncle just to avoid that" (and i do love uncle eddie) however

i think it's a real disservice to tim's likely very complicated feelings at the time about the fact that his dad who he loved deeply was *murdered* merely because tim was the robin to bruce's batman and tim was also angry at bruce for various other things at the time and tim was extremely devastated at the loss of his father and would *not* want to immediately jump in and replace him five minutes later *especially* with the man that jack was canonically (at least at first) insecure about because jack did feel jealous over bruce's relationship with tim in comparison to jack's relationship with tim and tim also had very complex feelings about jack and the father he was vs the father tim wanted him to be and while bruce was never really his dad the parallels and comparisons of bruce vs jack were there, even by tim (batman #480 my beloved). so wouldn't it stand to reason that even if tim does want to become family with bruce and dick more than anything, to do so immediately after his father's murder would feel like absolute betrayal of his dad?

#i'm just saying while i love eddie drake #of course tim didn't want to be adopted by bruce weeks or months after his dad died #it's not like your dad dies and it's like oh well time for a new dad #and it's not that tim doesn't want bruce to be his dad #it's more that the relationship dynamics are so complex it would be very hard to replace jack with bruce specifically #because it would feel like a betrayal to immediately run into the arms of the man that your dad felt was trying to replace him at times #tim drake #bruce wayne #jack drake #tim and bruce

  Ai Di grit his teeth, the headache he had not getting any better from Chen Yi’s shouting. Fuck.

  Right till this moment, he’d pondered if he should tell Chen Yi about the night he’d had, the fuck he’d received and given, but the angered gaze he encountered for sure settled his conflict in favour of a resounding ‘No’.

 Or: Three times Chen Yi's tells Ai Di he's "Too late" in the worst of moments and one time Ai Di is kind of fond of it.

Billy coming back and seeing Steve wearing Eddie’s vest so he rips it off of him and gives him his own jacket even if he gets cold because no way in hell he’s gonna let some punk have their clothes all over Steve!!!

[chamomileteainabuttercup]

Steve thinks soulmates sound romantic, he likes the idea that there’s someone just right for you and somehow you’ll find each other

Eddie is so viscerally pissed off by the idea of destiny pushing someone at him that he will rant for at least half an hour about how dumb that is and how important free will and choice are to actual love and how he and Steve are most definitely not anything as CLOYING and UNIMAGINATIVE as soulmates, in fact he would say destiny took its best shot at keeping them apart forever but they said UP YOURS DESTINY, while flopped across Steve’s lap while Steve puts daisies and clover flowers in his hair

#steddie #they’re at a picnic #it’s not just them #everyone else enjoying their sandwiches while eddie rants #max totally agrees with him but is thinking of saying she believes in it just to make him further pop off #NOT YOU RED #I EXPECTED BETTER OF YOU #I think when (I say WHEN) they all get to hang out peacefully #Eddie’s favourite kids other than Dustin will be Max and Will #Max because she’s brave and funny and a little shit #Will because he is PRECIOUS and must be PROTECTED AND NURTURED AT ALL COSTS #it’s not until someone actually asks him if it’s because all three of them have technically died that he realises that’s a thing

[neonponders]

Just thinking about how both Steve and Billy respond well to honesty.

Robin took a chance on Steve and told him the truth without leading him on. He responded extremely well to that gesture of trust and respect.

Billy’s thread snapped twice: when Steve lied to him about where Max was/not knowing who she is, and after Max lied repeatedly about Lucas.

#it's ironic how we all write them as being terrible at communicating lol #neonponders #text post #harringrove #still salty about eddie getting info-dumped on #while billy died clueless and terrified

As always if you just wanna read the A03 for the reverse Steve + The Party Adopts Hellfire During a Monster Crisis fic, here's the link!

Added bonus it has some KICKASS art to go with it!

Summary:

Eddie doesn't know what's going to kill him first: a military invasion, evil demon flower dogs, or Steve Harrington's painted on jeans.

Either way, his faked heterosexuality isn’t making it out alive.

OR: Eddie Munson has a very bad, no good, terrible day trying to survive in the dead Chief of Police’s abandoned cabin with the Hellfire Club, The Party, and Steve “Most Slappable Ass” Harrington.

"it would be extremely unrealistic for everyone to end season 5 alive or for Eddie to be brought back"

i don't care.

you think i'm afraid of poorly executed plotlines that go out of their way to keep a character alive? i was a teen wolf fan

#realistically #derek hale should have died on season one #and the entire argent clan should have been extinct by season two #stiles would have died a thousand times #even fucking scott's asmatic ass shouldn't have survived the bite #but YOU THINK i ever complained about these bitches not getting killed off #this a show about a kid who moves stuff with her brain #while fighting against monsters that are named by pre pubescent kids after a role play board game #which btw no one seems to question #you think doctor martin knows wtf is a demogorgon #why do we care about realism in here #i fucking don't #i just want eddie back #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #ronance #ronancy #st season 4 #st season 5 #bring eddie back #eddie the bloody handed #teen wolf #derek hale #scott mccall #stiles stilinski #chris argent #colombia

Okay, but on the flip side, Eddie's arc with time and loneliness and the sudden "I'm gonna die alone" thing could mean we could get Eddie properly trapped. Because, yes, he was alone in the bridge, but his radio was working and he had no reason to believe Buck wouldn't get to him. Now you put him alone in a sinking ship, stakes are higher, water can make the radios not work, so much can go wrong in a call like that. I'm saying Buck could drown, but remember the finale speculation where Buck would have to choose who to save? Bobby. Eddie. Water. Panic. It's all still possible.

#just thinking about it #my brain just went huh wouldn't it be funny if they drowned Eddie #and i was like NO #but its plausible #Buck just died #Eddie has been relatively stable for a while #it could go wrong for eddie #and we know Buck goes berserker over Eddie in danger #but he's reactions to bobby are much more like a kid who doesn't know what to do #so to conflicts there could be interesting #and eddie was never the one going missing or getting seriously injured in a main event disaster #his near death experiences are pretty contained to him #so that's also a possibility #no but Buck getting trapped saving Eddie and Eddie jumping back in to get Buck tho #just both scenarios happening #the possible implications of Buck dying for Eddie #it could go SO HARD #im gonna go crazy #911 speculation #911 spoilers #911 #drown buck 2024
