someone needs to stop me before i write a tuck everlasting steddie au.

steve harrington, the town prince who lives in a mansion on the outskirts of town, who has always had this yearning for the forest on the other side off their picket fence that he could never put his finger on. steve who had to follow societal rules and comb his hair just so, had to learn to sit up straight and how to charm his father's business partners with a smile. steve who wanted to be more than fine china and fine pressed suits, but didn't know what that more was.

he ventures into the forest one day to find it, to run away in search of something, fed up with the rules and expectations that weigh too heavily on his shoulders. what he finds is a boy who couldn't be much older than he is drinking out of a brook. it's an ordinary brook and steve is thirsty, but this boy is yet another person forbidding steve to do something that he knows he needs to do. they tussle, get steve's nice white shirt muddy and wrinkled, all because the boy won't let him get a drink for some unknown reason.

and as they stare at each other afterwards, panting and a bit sweaty with a playful grin steve's never felt pulling at his lips, the boy takes him by the hand with a promise of adventure.

eddie munson is the more that steve knows he needs. he's wild and free and lives each day like it's a gift in and of itself whereas steve sees his monotonous days as a prison. eddie teaches steve how to swim, how to walk barefoot on the forest floor, how to lie in fields of flowers and let his hair get messy. he teaches him what it means to be alive, what it means to have a heart beating in your chest and breath in your lungs and love coursing through your veins.

but eddie, he finds out, and his uncle have secrets. they can't die, immortal, and it's all thanks to a simple brook in the forest. they live each day like it's their last because sometimes they want it to be. they yearn for loved ones passed like steve yearns for the freedom the munson's seem to have in spades. they take each day slow and steady when the earth seems quiet and like it's everything they could ever want. they let steve into their little world and show him what it really means to have a soul.

steve's daddy doesn't take too kindly to his pride and joy running away. doesn't like his bright shiny toy of a son could want something outside of the empire he's made for him. he pins it all on the elusive munsons and has them tried for kidnapping, concluding without a trial that ends with nooses around their necks no matter how hard steve screams that they did nothing wrong. in fact, they did everything right by showing him what beauty the earth holds for them.

it ends in an escape, eddie on the back of a wagon as he and his uncle run out of town with steve standing in the dust the wheels leave behind. "steve harrington, i will love you 'til the day i die!" is the last thing he ever hears from eddie munson's lips. it was steve's first and fiercest love and while it wasn't eddie's first and might not even be his last, it sure would be his fiercest.

#literally someone needs to stop me rom writing this because i CANT take on a whole new fic rn #steddie #steddie fic #my writing #you can't look at me and tell me that it wouldn't be the most perfect au for them either i'm telling you... #also this is in no way a complete thought because i wrote it super fast so there's bound to be inconsistencies lol #steve harrington #eddie munson

[prettyboyeddiemunson]

cant stop thinking about how pretty eddie’s whines would be if you’re riding him and pulling his hair

WE STAN A SUBBY BOY IN THIS HOUSE ALSKERJKLA

he would be in absolute heaven if you rode him. i keep saying this man loves boobs, because it's so true; he would have the time of his life watching them as you ride him. being able to see your nipples harden, watching them bounce if they're bigger, running his hands over them, leaning up to suck on them, the whole nine yards. but he particularly loves you being on top when he's in a subby mood, with his face pressed right between your tits as you do it.

"look at my good fucking boy," you praise, hands deep in his hair as he leaves lazy hickeys all over your skin. "being so good and letting me take your cock so well."

"feels so good," he breathes against your breasts, taking one of the nipples in his mouth and sucking with a whine. "want you to do whatever you want to me."

"i'm doing it already, pretty boy," you say, nails digging into his scalp as he tugs the nipple in his teeth. "i just want to feel that big dick of yours inside of me, and feel how much you want this. i want you to fill me up, and then guess what you're going to do after that?"

"clean up my mess?" eddie asks, looking up at you with those big brown eyes. they're so full of lust, but also so hazy & dazed as he grins. "every last drop, like always?"

"that's right," you say, delighting in how he whines when you slam yourself on his cock. he sounds so fucking beautiful, every delicious sound he makes as you move your hips driving you even more wild. "and remember, you can't cum until i say so."

"i'm so close already," he says, whimpering as you yank on his long hair. "y/n..."

"shhh, baby boy," you soothe, pulling him up for a sloppy, moan-filled kiss. when you draw back, you shove him onto his back and pin his arms above his head as you bounce on his cock. "i make the rules, remember. you're going to have to hold it, or i'm going to have to punish you. you've been so good for me so far tonight; it would be a shame to have to do that, wouldn't it?"

"yes," he says desperately. "fuck, yes...it would be..."

"then listen to what i'm telling you, and you won't have to worry about it," you say, clenching around him and holding as you watch him squirm. he's whining again, head thrown back against the pillows as he murmurs a bunch of gibberish. "you wanna know what i find adorable?"

"what?" he asks, looking at you dazedly.

"the fact that you're always reducing me to a fucked out, speechless, desperate mess," you say, your hands running over his chest to pinch his pierced nipples, "and tonight, those roles are reversed. how does it feel, huh? to be the one who can't take it anymore, and who is at the complete mercy of someone else? something tells me that you're enjoying it so much, seeing as how you're twitching like hell inside of me right now."

“i am,” he says, squeezing his eyes shut as you play with his piercings. “baby, i don’t think i’m gonna last long…”

you move off of him, and he whines loudly in response. you kiss him hotly, grinning against his mouth as you do so. “not yet,” you whisper. “you’re going to wait, and i’m not getting back on top of you until that feeling passes. and you can’t touch yourself, either; you do that, and i’ll use those handcuffs that you always use against me. understand?”

[lover-of-mine]

Your post about Buck needing to be the one who chooses got me thinking—it's not just that he's gotten into a bunch of relationships without really trying to initiate them, he's also needed his hand held through every single major milestone in those relationships. He was kinda shamed (lol) into asking Abby out on Valentine's Day, he needed Bobby to tell him to step in with her with her mom. When Taylor started acting weird, it didn't even seem to occur to him that something must be wrong—he just assumed that she was gonna leave him, and he literally had to be told by Bobby to at least talk things through with her. He would've never asked her to move in if not for the thing with Lucy. He wouldn't have attempted to reach out to Natalia again if she didn't come back. The only time I can think of him attempting to actually start something is in 4x12 when he's trying to flirt with Taylor and even that seemed kinda half-hearted and all over the place? He just doesn't even try! And look, it's one thing to need advice, and it's another to need an external push for literally every step of a relationship.

With Eddie, though, it's completely the opposite. From day one, Buck is all-in without needing direction from anyone—whether it's following him into danger, helping him with Chris, actually noticing whenever Eddie was not himself—especially in s5, where Buck panicked if Eddie got so much as a papercut, which really shows how apathetic he was with Taylor—and trying to help Eddie as best he could. And he's never needed anyone to tell him to do any of this. So, when it comes to choosing, there's already a precedent of Buck taking initiative when it comes to Eddie, as opposed to his other romantic endeavours. So, really, Buck being the one to finally initiate things between him and Eddie and choose him, is really the natural conclusion of all this.

Post in question

No but that's true, it's like Bobby says when Buck freaks out that Taylor is gonna leave him, he gets in relationships without having any idea how he got there or what to do when things get rough. He couldn't even figure out what to get Taylor for Christmas. And you're so right even his flirting with her was all over the place (how that man managed to sleep with as many people as the show implies is a mystery because he has no game, there's no way he was getting women on biceps alone but that's not the point now kapaka). He just goes through the motions with all of these women and keeps struggling because he decided love is work but cant see they it's work as in love won't just fall in your lap, you need to do something to get it, not as in I need to hold on to this forever and ever even if I don't want to be here anymore. And the whole thing with Natalia is that Buck was talking about wanting to pick the right person but she was the first woman we saw paying any attention to him all season and dude just latched on to that (don't blame would've also folded like a paper plane) but that exactly what he did to Taylor. While Natalia is miles better than Taylor for a lot of reason beginning with simply for the fact that she apologized for leaving when she came back, Buck is hanging on to whatever love is offered to him while failing to look around himself and see the connections he already has in his life. And the thing about Buck being attuned to Eddie since day one is so true, he never really hesitates with Eddie because the things Eddie needs seems to come on instinct to him. And he's so deep in his insecurities that he doesn't notice the way that Eddie keeps choosing to stay over and over again. Eddie picked Buck with the "you're badass under pressure" and has continuously picked Buck. Someone in the tags of that post also said something about Buck not realizing that Eddie misses him, and that's also true, I don't think Buck realizes exactly how big the space he has on Eddie's life is but since he always had to beg for love and Eddie has been giving it to him freely and without expectations he doesn't register that love as love. Like I said in my Eddie fell first essay, Buck never knew home as a place where he could find love. And that's what Eddie is, Eddie is a safe place to land no matter what. And I think in the end that's the thing, he never knew love with no strings attached so he doesn't know how to look for it. But he will never get the type of love he wants until he puts in the work to look for it. Because let's face it Eddie has been sitting around waiting for Buck to catch up for AT LEAST all of season 6.

Also if what Buck and Eddie have are not the exact opposite of the thing Bobby says "you just go with the flow and find yourself in a relationship with no idea how you got there or what to do when things start to go wrong" (went back to get the exact quote) because Buck made a conscious decision of inserting himself into Eddie's life. Eddie never asked for help with Christopher, Buck stepped up and offered because he could and that exchange tied them together. And contrary to every other relationship on Buck's life, Buck actually does know what to do when things go wrong with Eddie. But at the same time Buck didn't even notice. The man has a whole ass CHILD and he still hasn't realized what he has. I need to shake him around like and etch a sketch to see if stuff starts to register into that brain of his.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! 🎉🍾🥂

the end of 2022!!! what a year!!!

this year has simultaneously felt like the longest year yet and also the god damn fastest year ever, and just like every year it's had its ups and it's downs.

one of the biggest ups of the year, of course, has been stranger things and the entire fandom it has brought along.

i did not have falling down the stranger things rabbit hole on my 2022 bingo card lmao but i am so beyond grateful that it did happen because it has been SUCH a rewarding experience. i have met SO many wonderful people and made SO many fantastic friends and have done SO many cool things that i wouldn't have been able to do without this fandom! it has also completely reinvigorated my love for writing fic — i've mentioned it before, but prior to this fandom i was in a sort of fic writing rut, i had characters to write for and stories to tell, but the inspiration and that special spark that comes with writing fic just did not stick around for very long with those. but then stranger things (and eddie munson, really, my beloved beloved boy) came along and lit the biggest, brightest fuse beneath me and it has been burning strong and bright with no signs of waning ever since!! and for that i am SO unbelievably grateful.

i am also SO ridiculously grateful and thankful for every single person that has shown me and my writing and the things i create any shred of support — you all have made this fandom so much fun and have been an absolute joy to headcanon with and write for and talk with and befriend. every single kudos, every comment, every reblog, every like, every follow, every interactions with every person i have had — THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU!!!

i have made so many friends in this fandom and i know i'll probably miss some here, but i want to give a special shout out to those who have made this year and this fandom experience especially bright:

@nostalgicbones @withacapitalp @rougenancy @riality-check @toburnup @hexmionegranger @reindeerrobin @thefreakandthehair @cherry-vamps @henrystars @maxinemaxmayfield @steveshairychest @stevesbipanic @stargyles @babyboyargyle @eddiehashands @ruthofrhythm @komiraidon @strawberryspence @pizzaqueen @eddieunbanished @annethecatdetective @bonitabreezy @horsegirleddiemunson @thedeadromantics @punkharringtxn @corrodedcoughin @henderdads @solosnail @gothbat99 @ahhrenata @inflomora-art @greenlikethesea

to every person who isn't a mutual but who shows up in my notes all the time: i see you and i love you and i appreciate you all so much!!!

to every artist, fic writer, gif maker, editor, video maker, and every other kind of creator in between: thank you for filling this fandom with such wonderful art!!!

i hope everyone has a very happy new year's eve, and i hope that 2023 brings nothing but happiness and love and joy and success for everyone!

i cant wait to see what this year has in store for us and where it will take us!! 💕🥰🫂

Platonic eddie munson x close friend reader

Summary: when your home gets too much to bear, the metal head across the way from your trailer helps you more than he knows, one day you finally tell him. Eddie is a sweetheart in this.

note: minors dni this story contains no smut however this blog and my writing is 18+ and id like it to stay that way.No use of y/n ( wow I think that's a first for me) and also gender neutral(as far as I'm aware do let me know if it's not though and I'm happy to change it). Reader and eddie both over 18. not sure about this one tbh it kind of hurt to write okay please be nice🥺🥺

warnings: alcoholism (a parent), swearing, drugs, smoking(the reader) anxiety.

It's 2am and your father stumbles in drunk, again, falling over before he passes out onto the couch that's clear of the beer cans thanks to you.

The noise jolts you from your sleep like but not quite there yet state and you sigh, sitting up you gaze out your window into the pitch black. it's eerie and dark and you look across to the only other trailer you can see and there's no lights on but you can see the flick of a flame at the back.

You look for a while, debating, before you give in and get up before you loose your nerve.

There's no need to sneak because your father is so out of it he wouldn't even wake for the loudest noise.

Running over the path, you finally arrive at your destination and you knock oh so quietly and it's a miracle but he opens the door.

"my lighter broke" you stumble out

"well that's an odd way to say hello" eddie chuckles

"um, hi" you say and you think it's endearing awkward but it's not it's just awkward awkward because you've just remembered you knocked on eddie munsons trailer at 2am and didn't even bother to say hi first.

"sorry" you chuckle and you fiddle with the back of your neck

"It's okay!" He says and he says it with such kindness

"Here" he says flicking his clipper for you, you pop the cigarette in your mouth and he moves the flame.

"thanks" you huff a breath of smoke as you speak.

"So, what brings you to my oh so homely home at this fine hour of the morning" he's almost gleeful and it's catchy because your anxiety is melting away and you've only been with him five minutes.

"I told you my lighter broke"

"Hmmmm" he's blatantly obvious he doesn't believe you

you fiddle with the back of your neck again and eddie is ever so observant and he gets this serious look on his face

"Are you alright?" Again, asked with such kindness and sincerity it makes your heart hurt

"Im fine" you smile

"No your not, come on" he pulls you inside his trailer before you can protest

"You want something stronger than nicotine?" He asks,going to grab his box.

"No, thankyou" you say

"Er, don't mind the mess" he chuckles, clearing a path to his bedroom

"Sit" he gestures to the bed

You furrow your brows at him and Eddie puts his hands on his hips and how can you say no to him when he looks like that?

Once your comfortably situated eddie bends down in front of you, hands balanced on his knees as he looks up at you and he can see it on your face.

"Come on, out with it, what's wrong?"

He's looking right at you and you can't look at him so you look anywhere but and you fiddle with his bedsheet and Eddie grabs your hand which finally makes you look at him

"Hey, it's alright" he says and he gives your hand a squeeze and his smile is so reassuring you want to tell him so bad but instead of opening your mouth and using words you bite your lip instead and Eddie still hasn't taken his eyes off you and you feel so safe with him.

"I can't sleep, I was anticipating a verbal fight with that dickhead and he passed out and I cant sleep" you finally get your brain and your mouth to work at the same time

"okay" he says and Eddie is rubbing his finger up and down your hand whilst he's holding it and you squeeze it tighter

"so I was wondering well hoping but you really don't have to if you could maybe, play something for me because i knoa its thursday and you normally play every night except on Thursdays but it helps me sleep when i hear it but you dont have to of course in fact i should probably go actually im sorry" - and you try and turn away but he catches your face and uses his finger to turn your face back to his.

"Hey, you, stop, - Eddie reaches up to cup your face," I will play something for you every night, for all of time that you live with that piece of shit and if i could id play it all the time for you" and you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding in and Eddie has such an assuring look on his face you lean forward and wrap your arms around his neck.

He holds you tight.

"Here, I have something for you that might help when you can't hear the beautiful sounds of my bass playing all the time"

He grabs a chain and a guitar pic off his sideboard, he threads the chain through the pic and presents it to you.

"She's my first" eddie says as he fastens the chain around your neck

"what?" You chuckle

"My first guitar pic" he says as he spins you around

"Oh wow" you whisper clutching the pic in your hands

"so, whenever it gets too much, grab it, and it will hopefully keep you going, and remind you of me of course" he says sweetly.

"Thankyou" you say and it's so sincere eddie can't help himself he goes in for another hug

"Now then, get off home, go get into bed and open your window" he smiles at you.

Eddie sees you out and of course he makes sure he sees you enter your trailer before he goes to his bedroom and picks up his guitar.

You get back under your covers and open your window, eddie begins his guitar riff and feeling comforted finally, you drift off , the waves of Eddie's music making there way into your dreams.

<- this is a female reader with female parts and a very specific vibe (coquette/flirt + rich girl next door and occasional bimbo) so it's not as vague when it comes to detailing clothing and personality, etc. This is my self indulgent thing and I'm not sorry.

masterlist ● steve's masterlist ● about + rules

" Weird. Steve's always at home lately. And his car is here.." Dustin peers through the living room window to find no sign at all of his best friend Steve.

Then the door to your house opens and Steves leaned in your doorway, shirtless with his arms folded over his chest. Laughter in his eyes for the first time since the breakup with Nancy a few months back. Dustin is grinning. "I can come back later!"

"No! C'mon, Henderson." Steve waves him over and Dustin wanders across the street, leaving his bike propped on the fence row at Steve's house. As Dustin steps inside the smoke alarm is going off and you're walking backwards out of your father's stupid designer kitchen with your back to Dustin and Steve and your middle finger raised to the kitchen. 

Dustin is barely hiding laughter and Steve pulls you against him. Hiding a laugh in your hair only to have you look up at him pouting.

"I just wanted to make us breakfast. I hate that dumb kitchen." 

"I got it." Steve plants a kiss against your hairline and Dustin gapes at him, nods at you as he grins. "When did this happen?" he mouths and Steve laughs quietly. A mental replay of the fact that not only did you kiss him but you also let it slip that you loved him happening for the thousandth time that morning. "Nothings like..official, calm down kid." Steve mouths back.

But the way he's holding you close as he can fully suggests otherwise to Dustin.

Dustin follows Steve into the kitchen and as Steve starts to put bacon into a pan, he speaks up. "What the hell do you mean it's not official? What happened, anyway? Did you finally tell her how you feel?"

"Actually, uh.."Steve chuckles quietly, "She kissed me first. But, yes. I did tell her how I feel. I mean kinda."

"What do you mean kinda?"

"I told her I loved her?"

Dustin is really gaping at this bit of news. "You what? In what world is that not official?" he looks so confused that all Steve can do is pat his head and laugh. "You're gonna love high school, kid. Things get a lot more complicated."

"How? If you both said..well, that. It's kind of official."

"Not really. Kind of a good idea to ask the girl you like if she wants to actually date you.. I tried to alright? The words wouldn't come out."

Dustin throws up his hands and grumbles, shaking his head at how oblivious his best friend truly is. "So are you going to? Ask her, I mean?"

Steve palms his face. "I want to. I mean it'd make sense, no? She's already mine in my own head.." Steve muses and Dustin snickers, stands back and has himself a laugh as Steve walks himself through an attempt at a pep talk. "I just don't want to make her feel like she has to, y'know?" and he goes quiet, focusing on what's left of the bacon as Dustin watches him and tries not to laugh. 

You wander in with the mail from the box, eyes scanning the newspaper. You move to sit on top of the counter right next to Steve and when hot grease pops his forearm you reach out, studying angry red flesh for a second before reaching for the potted aloe plant nearby to break off a piece, rubbing that piece against his arm as you blow on it. Dustin nods at you and mouths "Not official, my ass." 

"Better?" you ask quietly as you take a strip of bacon and press it between his lips. Steve can feel the blush creeping up his neck to settle in his cheeks but he chuckles quietly, "Yeah." and he's staring hard at your lips. You giggle. "Want something, Steve?"

"Uh huh," he answers, biting his lip. You lean in and press a gentle kiss to his lips and he has to bite back a groan. As you pull away a little, Steve steps up between your legs and gives you the gentlest peck on your hairline. 

"Hey, do you guys wanna come to the mall with me later?" Dustin asks, giving your distraction as you slip yourself a piece of bacon off the plate to give Steve his most pointed and expectant look.

"Yeah! That'd be fun, wouldn't it, Steve?"

"Yeah." Steve answers. 

"You're sure it's okay.. if I'm there too?"

"Yeah!" both of you respond at the same time.

Dustin grins. "Ooh. They're showing that movie too."

“It better not be a horror movie.” Steve’s reaction has you laughing into his shoulder, prompts you to tease gently, “I’ll protect you, Steve.”

He pretends to pout, but.. The more you say things like this, the better he feels. The easier it becomes to think of you as his girl. Only his.

–

The mall is crowded because the new is still wearing off. Not only are there people from Hawkins at Starcourt, there are people from your old high school. You’re standing in line at the theater waiting to buy tickets when you hear your name being shrieked.

Steve’s brow raises.

Dustin snickers and nudges you. “Do you know them, __?”

Tessa and Teresa are running towards you at full speed and as they sandwich you between them for a hug, you’re laughing.

“Oh my god! It feels like it’s been foreverrrr.”

“Girl..”

“What’s up?”

Tessa nods to Steve. Then she grabs your wrist and tells Steve with a laugh, “I need to borrow her for just one second, I’ll bring her right back.” and you’re being dragged away before Steve can say anything.

“They’re the girls she was friends with at Jordan.” Steve explains. He’s watching you talk and laugh with your friends, smiling to himself. Happy. He happens to notice Landon, the captain of the Falcons, and when he sees him watching you, he tenses a little.

Meanwhile, Tessa and Teresa are giving you the third, fourth and fifth degree.

“Okay, did you finally go for it? Please tell me you did because girl… He’s super hot.”

“If she didn’t go for it, we’re shoving them into a broom closet til one of them caves. Chill, sis.” Tessa tells her twin. As her eyes roam the crowded food court, she spots Landon.

“Just fucking great. You need to watch out tonight, __.”

You follow the direction of her gaze just in time to see Landon staring at you.

“What the fuck is he staring at?” you grumble to yourself. Tessa laughs. “You, duh.”

“Yeah, well.. He can stop now. And he can fuck all the way off. I broke up with him for a reason.”

“You did. And it needs to stick.”

“Oh, trust me… It is. I’m with the boy I want.” you say it in this dreamlike tone that has your friends sharing a laugh as they tease you gently about being in love. You’re staring at Steve, the two of you exchanging looks.

And then you spot Billy Hargrove, headed straight over to the three of you.

“Ladies.”

“Ew.” you wrinkle your nose. “What do you want, Hargrove?”

He chuckles. “You get a kick out of wounding my pride, huh?”

You don’t waste any time. You’re looking for Steve. Billy asks you why you’re looking around and you smirk as you tell him calmly, “I’m looking for my boyfriend. Steve?”

Billy’s fist clenches at his side.

You spot Steve and Dustin walking your way so you’re smiling, waving them over. And the second Steve is close enough, you lean against him with your arms around his neck. “I was just telling Billy that I’m here with you.”

You think that you have enough going on, Billy’s walked over. But then here comes your ex. Strolling over as if he owns the place. Making himself taller, a cocky smirk plastered on his lips. You roll your eyes. “What is this? Asshole day?”

Steve’s brow raises.

“My ex. Douchebag.” you cover the word Douchebag with a cough.

Billy’s walking away. Tessa and Teresa have gone to find and collect Chloe from wherever she vanished to earlier.

Landon clears his throat obnoxiously.

“Baby girl.. Who the fuck is this?” he nods at Steve dismissively and everything about this guy is off, so Steve’s filter makes a hasty retreat. And he’s tensing up, you can feel him do it as he holds you against him. You roll your eyes at Landon. “I have a name, first of all.” you speak up. He chuckles, “Oh come on. You loved it when I called you baby girl.”

“No, Landon.. I actually didn’t. I just let you because I got tired of reminding you I hated it when you didn’t listen anyway. What do you want?”

“I wanted to tell you that if you want me back.. I’ve decided I’ll let you come back.”

Steve’s jaw flutters as he makes himself taller. “Want me t’ get rid of him, princess?”

Landon hears him and chuckles. “I dare you, Harrington. Didn’t I put you out of the game the last time we played you?”

You swallow hard. Every part of you wants to tell Landon to fuck off, that Steve’s your boyfriend and you’d rather be flung at the Sun than go back to Landon at any point. But you’re held back by the thought that just because you kissed and both of you said three very big words.. Super important ones… This does not automatically mean he wants to date you.

Steve puts you behind him and steps up, towers over Landon by a half foot easy. He’s smirking down at him. “This isn’t the court, Landon. And she’s my girl. You’re gonna keep talkin and you’re really gonna piss me off, Thompson.” this is said with the smallest shove to Landon. Landon steps up. Chuckles. “I was done with her anyway. Have fun trying to get in her pants. She’s a picky little princess. Won’t give it up.”

“Yeah, to you, asshole.” you roll your eyes, “Because I didn’t want something water wouldn’t wash off.”

“She couldn’t even tell me she loved me, man.. Are you really sure you wanna deal with the hassle?” Landon’s deliberately trying to hurt you now. And you’re annoyed more than anything. “Because I didn’t love you, jackass.”

“We were dating. You were supposed t’ just say it.”

“Yeah, no. Ew. It doesn’t work that way, you fucking pig.”

Steve’s momentarily stunned when Landon admits what he just has. Because you had no problem telling him you loved him. Every part of him wants to tell Landon just to rub it in, but he decides to be a bigger person. “I think you should walk away now, Thompson.” he snarls, “Because you’re really starting to piss me off and I’m not here t’ fight.”

Landon chuckles. “I wouldn’t waste my time fighting you anyway. Do me a favor and break her in for me, okay?”

This comment is Steve’s breaking point and as Landon goes to walk away, Steve taps him on the shoulder. Landon turns around and right into a right hook.

Landon springs up from the ground and he’s about to lunge when a security guard sees and assumes that Landon is the one starting it all, so he’s dragging Landon out of the mall. As Landon goes, Dustin high fives Steve and he’s laughing, cheering for his best friend. “You nailed him right in the nose!”

You step up into him and fling your arms around his neck, staring up at him. “I’m totally calling you Superman from now on. Just so we’re clear, baby.”

Steve melts into you, chuckling to himself. Silently processing what he’s just been told.

You told him you loved him when you apparently couldn’t say it to anyone else.

He honestly feels like this is the best night of his life.

The three of you make your way into the theater, slipping into back row seats. And as the opening credits to the movie roll, Dustin’s friends come in, noisy and shoving and arguing as they try to navigate the theater in the dark, calling Dustin’s name. They end up filling up the few seats left and you glance up at Steve, giving him this cute little smile as you lean your head against his shoulder.

–

“Fuck!”

You dive into Steve’s lap and this makes Dustin and his friends burst into laughter with the dark haired one nudging Dustin. “I thought you said she was fine with this stuff, man?”

You look up and at the dark haired boy, poking out your tongue. “I was! Right up to the point where that maniac came out of nowhere! I wasn’t expecting it.”

Steve chuckles. “Jumpscares, huh?” he doesn’t want you to move right away so he slips his arms around you to hold you in his seat just a little longer. You peek up at him from the safety of his arms and bite your lip. “Is he done yet?”

The hurry in which Steve tries to bury his face in your neck as you do the same answers your question. He gives Dustin a dirty look because Dustin is the one who picked the movie and Dustin just shrugs, popping a handful of Sno Caps into his mouth. “What? It’s not that scary, you two. Jesus.”

“It is.” you and Steve say it at the same time, laughing together.

You move back into your seat when the action and murder are done for a little while. Your hand finds his in the darkened theater, you twine your fingers with his and give his hand three little short squeezes. He glances down at your joined hands and then at you with a confused look until you raise slightly, mouth next to your ear. “I love you.”

“Love you too.” he whispers back, grinning bright in the darkness. 

–

The movie’s ending credits roll and the lights are coming back on. Carol and Tommy make their way past, arguing. Then Carol sees you and Steve walking out of the theater all cozy and Carol rolls her eyes. “I feel bad for him when she hurts him too. You know that’s what’ll happen, he always picks the little prisses.”

Tommy rolls his eyes. “Leave ‘em alone. Let the guy live, Carol.”

“He’s wasting himself on her. She’s a little slut. She has to be, I mean.. Look at the way she dresses, Tommy. It’s a bad look.”

“You’re a pain in the ass right now. C’mon.Let’s get out of here already. Leave the guy alone.”

Carol grumbles but she follows Tommy out of the theater.

–

Steve’s just dropped Dustin off at his mother’s house for the night and the two of you are finally alone in his car. At first, the drive is quiet. Both of you are dying to bring it up but neither of you have found the courage to do so just yet.

Africa comes on the radio and Steve hums along. His hand settles over yours and you lock eyes. He brings the car to a stop in front of your house and you pout a little.

He chuckles. Leans across the console to give you a kiss goodnight. He whines into the kiss when you pull his mouth even deeper into yours and you’re clutching at the front of his polo shirt. The two of you pull away to breathe and you can’t take it anymore.

Neither can he.

Because at the same time, you both blurt out the question. “Will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend?” and then you both laugh, Steve resting his forehead against yours as he stares into your eyes. “I was supposed to ask you, princess.”

“It’s a brave new world, Steve. I can ask you if I want.” you stick out your tongue at him and he laughs.

I'd just like to remind you all that

Chrissy is 17 & Eddie is 19-20

Edit:

Chrissy was born June 13th 1968 and died on March 21st 1986 making her 17 years 9 months 8 days old on the day of her death. She can't be 16 and be in the year she was in unless she was pushed up and given that would have been mentioned to show how perfect she was.

Eddie has no birthday listed but he repeated senior year three times and also attended middle school with Chirssy, placing him as being 19 turning 20 during 1986. This is why he was so damm determination to graduate that year cos as he wouldn't have been allowed to attend high school into his twenties.

This isn't some hidden information you'd have to dig for, its all information given in the St 4 Vol 1. His age is never stated but ppl keep yelling at me about some poster so i had to dig that up online and yes, it says hes 17 on one poster, one time in Vol 2 but that could only be true if he was a star student super genius child who was pushed up 2 years and then later on got burn out and fell back 2 years. The math doesn't math, he cant be 17.

These are the same people that forgot Will's birthday, a primary & plot important main character, the only birthday to have ever been said by a character out loud before and you can't give me that 'Oh well will's birthday was said years ago' shit cos it's a team of people working on this stuff. You are meant to hire people to check this stuff.

Edit 2:

Reblogs are now off because Chrissy stan accounts ran by 22 year olds keep literally telling me they don't care about the fact she's under aged, I am not even joking.

i guess i always had connection with this series because of how it portrayed outcasts

how they get together and fight back evil monsters. how they can enjoy time with eachother, how they support eachother even when everyone are against them. how friends don't lie.

how mike is an actual friend for will and didn't push him away, even if he did, he would've said that he is sorry, he saw that his friend was unnerved or sad

how he actually listened him and were there for him even if not as much as when they were smaller but still

friendships of this kind is very valuable and they grow stronger over time, its just feels more natural this way

like every one of them is strange and different for other people around them (except steve maybe but his character's personal growth was immensible because of that, because he saw that there's more to life than stupid boundaries and school hierarchy, because what is actually real is care and appreciation for each other like his friendship with robin for example when in the start it was romantic affection but then he just accepted her and went with it no questions asked. i cant imagine steve from first season to be so chill about it )

how exept their differences they managed to create this beautiful strong friendship ( not that shared traumatic experience helped here but fighting evil aside )

and ending of season 4 managed to destroy that.

not for all of them ( max and lucas actually really surprised me with how they were so open with each other, their interactions had me rooting for them so much, and of course it ended bad for max because why be open about anything )

im especially sad because of how they went with eddie's character. he managed to accept that he is different and made it his power all on his own, he inspired kids because of that (maybe it's just a facade to get back at hateful people but still he gets back at them in some way). and then he is killed because of "i should fight back this time because im always running away and i should be a hero" but he wasn't running at all, not in the ways of how he personally standed himself against societal norms at least. he already was fighting all this time. and you tell me that he really didn't know that sometimes "running away" is the answer when there is no reason to fight back. and in the end it seemed that no one even cared except dustin, all of the hawkins still hates him and wants him dead. of course they wouldn't know but its so fucking sad and angering me.

and also about nance and eleven, i felt like they were going to be more explored as their own person, and not just as codependent romantic interest again. like i understand it with el maybe with big big stretch but that thing about steve and nancy like they want to be together again even if nancy with jonathan right now what even was that. like, are all their personal growth are going to.. to this??

i thought that this season would explore more of characters' inner problems and thoughts, but i guess its too boring am i right. this series is focused on sci-fi and horror elements anyway.

maybe im wrong or don't understand something but... yeah.

#again sorry for misspellings if theres any #im kinda bad with words sometimes but i hope you get the point #someone probably already said all of this i just wanted to express my thoughts and feelings somewhere #i don't understand shit i guess if i wanted better for characters that had so many ways of growth and exploration #stranger things #stranger things season 4 #season 4 volume 2 #stranger things spoilers #long post #kinda #im still angry #eddie munson #eddie stranger things #steve harrington #mike wheeler #will byers #byler #max mayfield #lucas sinclair #lumax #nancy wheeler #eleven #eleven stranger things #sadly brainroting again

Part 24- Beauty and the Freak

Girls Night

Veronica

The day before the Prom:

" So why cant you come over tonight Princess?" Eddie asked as he drives me home from school, his hand casually resting on my thigh.

I smile." Because I am having a girls night with Robin and Nancy. Tomorrow is the Prom and that means tonight we sit around and do facials and paint our nails and practice doing each other's hair. We need to make sure that we look perfect for tomorrow."

" Sweetheart, you look perfect without all that." He squeezed my leg. " Your gonna miss our Friday scary movie night!"

I roll my eyes and smile." Why don't you have a guys night? Invite Steve and the guys over, get pizza and have a scary movie marathon? They would love that."

" But it's not the same without the cuddling and the kissing baby. Do you realize that I have kissed you goodnight every night for like months, even if it means sneaking in through your window at night and risking my life?"

" I love it when you sneak in and cuddle me till I fall asleep, then jump out my window before you fall asleep and my mom comes in and catches you. It means a lot to me because you know I have a hard time falling asleep because I can't turn my brain off . Your big spoon cuddling does it every time."

" And tonight you won't have a big spoon to cuddle you."

"I bet Robin would if I asked her too." I smirked

" I bet she would too, and I bet she would like it. I would want to be there to see that."

" Nancy is great but the girl is just skin and bones, I would have to be big spoon."

" Also something I wouldn't mind seeing."Eddie raised his eyebrows.

"We will triple spoon after we have a pillow fight in our bras and underwear."

" Girls don't really do that right, like that's just shit they do in movies right?"

" I have never been to a sleepover where that has happened. Usually we sit around our old pajamas with green goop on our face. Sorry if I just ruined your fantasy "

" Might just sneak over and see for myself. Then I could get my goodnight kiss."

" You make it sound like you are kiss deprived, you get lots of kisses Eddie Munson."

Eddie rubbed my leg with his free hand,"I know baby and I am so grateful but the goodnight kiss, it is the last thing I think of before I go to bed at night."

" You are the absolute sweetest."

" Don't tell anyone, you'll ruin my reputation."

" Ok so maybe if you were to quietly knock on my window at 11 tonight I might open it and give you a smooch. But your not allowed IN my room."

" I will take it." He pulled into my driveway and put the van in park."Until we meet again my dark haired maiden , when the clock strikes 11." He put a hand on my cheek and pulled me in for a kiss.

" You give me butterflies Munson." I ran a hand through his hair and kissed him again lightly. " See you tonight."

Later that night

" Your nails look great, mine look like shit." Robin blew on her nail polish to try to get it to dry." Of course they would look much better if I didn't bite them but I can't help it that is what I do. When I get nervous I just chew."

" Can't believe you asked Dustin to the senior prom." Nancy smirked

" It's not like I have a lot of options, it's not that easy. I can't just walk up to every girl I have a crush on and ask, hey ,want to go to the prom? I can't risk it."

" There have got to be other girls," Nancy started.

" It's not like we can walk around with flashing neon lights that say ' I'm gay, are you? And if you say something to the wrong girl then your a complete outcast like more than normal."

" You don't think they would be cool about it?"

" Veronica, what would you say if I asked you on a date?"

I shrugged" I would say that I was flattered but I have a boyfriend, but I wouldn't mind hanging out because you're a rad chick."

" Aww you think I'm rad?"

" I do, and any girl that doesn't is a dumbass."

"Awwwww, I love you guys! Group hug!" We all hugged.

" Mike is so jealous that Dustin is going." Nancy picked the hair up off the back of her neck and looked in the mirror as if to figure out if she should wear it up or down.

" Sorry Nance but Dustin is my favorite of the shrimps, he is a riot. Mike is kind of clueless."

" You don't have to tell me, I live with him for god sakes!" She turned to me. "I'm pretty sure he is in love with you."

" No,he just likes staring at my boobs." I laughed.

" Ever since that morning in Eddie's trailer." Robin laughed. " Though I can't really blame him, I was a little awestruck too."

"Really?"

" Well yeah."Robin blushed." Is that weird? Did I make it Weird?"

" Of course not. Your one of my besties. We can talk about anything. For real ok? No judgment. You too Nancy."

" Ditto." Nancy smiled at us. " I am so glad we are hanging out tonight. I can't believe it has taken us this long to have a girls night."

" That's because you guys are always with Steve and Eddie."

" Eddie is very clingy but I love it. He always has to be touching me, a hand on my back, around my waist-"

" Like we haven't noticed." Robin sighed " I have never seen Eddie like this. You make him so happy."

" He makes me happy." I smiled." It's so weird because in reality I haven't even known him a whole year yet I feel like I have known him my whole life."

" You guys were destined to be together." Robin pointed to my dress hanging in my closet." He's going to lose his shit when he sees you wearing that tomorrow, you know that right?" Robin pointed to the red satin cowl neck dress hanging in my closet.

" He is going to lose his shit when he sees what I am wearing under it." I smirked.

Robin and Nancy stared at me." Well, you can't just say that and not show us!"

" You really want to see it?"

" Of course we want to see it!" Nancy exclaimed.

I ran to the closet and pulled out a box that I had hidden in the back, not wanting my mom to find it. I pulled out a red lace Bustier and I heard the girls gasp.

" If he knows you are wearing that under your dress you are never even making it to prom." Robin chuckled.

" I'm not telling him, it's a surprise for the after party." I blushed.

" How do you even put that thing on?" Robin asked running a finger over the lace, mesmerized.

" There are about 5 million clasps in the back. I uh, might need some help getting into this thing tomorrow. I got it so it would ,you know, hold everything in since my dress is so form fitting."

" Eddie is going to freak the fuck out when he sees all those clasps. He's not going to get them unclasped fast enough."

I laughed." He is either going to love it or hate it."

Nancy smirked." He's going to blow his load when he sees you in this."

I put the garment back into the box with the matching panties and hid it back in my closet. "I wonder what he is going to wear? I could care less if he shows up in his leather jacket and jeans."

" There is no way Steve is going to let him do that. Steve takes Prom very seriously."Nancy smirked.

" That's because he was Mr.Popular."

"Did you know they are picking us up tomorrow in a limo? I am so excited Steve's after party is going to be epic!"

I clapped my hands excitedly. " I can't wait to get fancy tomorrow!"

" I don't know how to get fancy." Robin tossed her hair back.

" I do, so don't worry." Nancy smiled" I will get you all dolled up."

" For Dustin." Robin laughed

" You guys are going to look so cute in your Prom Photos! Warning my Mom is going to go crazy with pictures tomorrow! She will probably cry too." I got up from my spot on the floor and grabbed my new shoes from their box. "Think I will be able to walk in these all night without killing myself?" I slipped them on and walked around my room. Not too bad, it's not like the were 6 inch stilettos.

" Your braver than I am, I am sticking with my converse."

" Your wearing sneakers?"Nancy wrinkled her brows.

" It's a fashion statement. Call me quirky."

I heard a light tap and looked at the clock. 10:55, he was early. I smiled to myself. " Looks like we have a visitor." I walked to the window and slid it open.

Robin stood up,hands on her hips, "Eddie Munson, what are you doing here? You think you can just crash girls night?" She whispered.

" I promise I am not crashing girls night, I just wanted to see if all the movies were true, though it doesn't look like you guys have had any half naked pillow fights." He said in a hushed tone.He slid in through the window and wrapped his arms around my waist." Hello Princess ."

I smiled." Hello Mr. Munson."

" I just stopped by to give my girl a goodnight kiss then I will be on my way."

The girls both "Awwwww." In unison.

" Why don't we go downstairs and grab some cookies, don't worry your secret is safe with us." Nancy grabbed Robins hand and dragged her out of the room and closed the door.

Eddie smiled and pulled me in closer, his eyebrows furrowed and he looked down. " I thought I had shrunk there for a minute. Damn baby, red heels?"

" Yes. You like?"

" Yeah Princess, I do."

"So part of your job tomorrow night is to make sure I don't fall on my face."

" I would never let you fall sweetheart."He smiled and I wrapped my arms around his neck. " I bet those shoes make your legs look sexy."

" You can't tell with my sweatpants on?" I laughed. " Ok Eds, not to rush you but the girls can only hang out downstairs without me so long before my mom will get suspicious. So lay one on me, and make it a good one." I smirked.

" Yes ma'am." He leaned in and pressed his lips hard into mine, kissed me with an urgency that I knew would have us both breathless in the end. I felt his hands on my back pulling me closer to him, I pressed my body to his.I ran my fingers through his hair and heard a rumble low in his throat.

I could hear the girls talking loudly in warning as they walked down the hall. I slowly pulled away and sighed. I pressed my forehead to his as he held me close.

" Ronnie we are back with the cookies." Robin announced as she slowly opened the door.

Eddie loosened his hold on me and smiled. " Now I have something to think about as I am falling asleep tonight." He kissed me quickly then backed away." Sorry for the brief interruption ladies. I need to get back to the guys before they realize I went out for more then just chips." He smirked and started out the window."Let me know who was little spoon tonight." He winked and took off.

The girls looked at each other then looked at me. I could feel my face getting red.

" First of all, that was incredibly sweet. Second of all, that kiss must have been really something because your face is so red right now and lastly, what is he talking about little spoon?" Robin asked.

" That was definitely some kiss," I smiled. " And he seems to think that girls cuddle up together at sleepovers. That is why he said he wanted to know who was the small spoon. I think it is some dumb guy fantasy brought on again by cheesy movies."

" That is too funny." Robin laughed. " I think I would be big spoon, I think Nancy would always be little spoon because she's so tiny and delicate. And you Ronnie, I think you could be either."

“ Yeah, I’m a good cuddler .”

" Do you have a camera?" Robin asked.

" Yes, you think we should stage a picture?"

" Of course we should!" Nancy hopped up and got on my bed. " Where do you want me?"

Robin cocked her head to the side as she thought about it." Nancy sandwich our Nancy smallest spoon?"

" I think smallest spoon. Then you Robin and I will be the biggest spoon."

" Perfect!" We all laid in bed in order , cuddled together and held the camera up and snapped the picture. Not perfect but you could definitely see us cuddled together.We laughed as we looked at it and knew it would blow Eddies mind.

We all got comfy and cozy , turned the lights out and chatted excitedly into the wee hours of the morning then we all drifted off to sleep.

[ridestomars]

thinking about that last date in cant buy me love but with eddie. how he would take her to an old car lot or a graveyard instead of a plane yard and they end the night looking up at the moon. 🫣

THIS ACTUALLY HURTS because i know i could change the moment and make it a sweet confession of love but i won't :D and i am actually writing a small fic about this small disclaimer: very ooc eddie because it's an au - not proofread also i literally have no idea of what i just typed

because i was rewatching the movie and i could only think about how heartbreakingly painful it would be to listen to eddie ask about your breakup, like it was just another exciting chapter of his fantasy books. even though you tried to act confused, telling him that you didn't understand what he was saying, he'd just turn to you and say: "you know what i'm talking about! our official breakup tomorrow!"

and then you'd just go back to staring at the moon, appreciating the white shiny halo with a whole other intention altogether: by looking up it was easier for you to not let your tears spill all over your cashmere sweater. the whole situation was ridiculous. were you really about to cry in the middle of forest hills trailer park?

"yeah," you took a deep breath, trying to sound nonchalant about the whole thing, "we could just do it naturally, i guess. even though i don't even know whoever actually believed it".

"us going out? i think a lot of people, actually. but i see what you mean, it is very unrealistic". eddie agreed with you and stayed silent for a couple of seconds, turning back to you again with an excited smile on his face, "but what about we stage a big fight? i'm a great actor, i can do it!"

"i don't think we have anything to fight ab-"

"we can make it up!" he interrupted you, "but, um... what do people fight about?"

"scratch that idea, eddie. we wouldn't want to damage your popular status now. reputation is everything, after all." you stated, sarcastically, but the venom in your words seemed to go by unnoticed by the boy. now, he looked even more thrilled, practically cackling by your side.

"popular status?"

"yeah," you acknowledged it, but continued your train of thought even though his excited laughter was only getting louder and louder, "i think that a small, dignified-"

"me!? being popular? for the right reasons? oh, man, that's awesome!" eddie exclaimed, and you could hear the smile on every single word he uttered which only broke your heart more. "oh my god, thank you, y/n! you're the best!"

he jumped out of your conversible, bouncing his way to his uncle's trailer, giving you a small wave while saying: "have a good night, yeah? i'll see you tomorrow!"

"good night, eddie." you reciprocated the wave, not matching his enthusiasm in the slightest. the only thing you could do now was to hope that your vision wouldn't get too blurry from crying while you were on your way home.

hiiii im making a self indulgent ass post w/ all the fun little details i packed into tip the ferrymen pages up til today (excluding all the stuff thats foreshadowing for later spoilers) im gonna put it all under the cut though!!!

so hi. funny little bg details in ferrymen that i think is fun:

pg2 - Russel's grave! his last name, Marek, is named after an NPC in a really old dnd campaign my buddy jay ran for us back in high school

pg8 - there's a lot here so im just showing all of it LMAO. ambrosia bar back alley in the bg, one of eddie's murals is on the wall, eileen's missing poster is on the left, and as a lil spoiler: one of the ghosts in the background is gonna be a major character in arc 2!

pg20 - one of joey's drawings is of a younger nathan and the other is a blue cowboy, if you know what thats a nod to you know lol

pg20 - Eddie's gifts for the fortunes include a cat angel statue, white lillies (often used in funerals), and a blue candle. most of this is just supposed to be a nod towards who's leaving these gifts

pg33 - this is kinda hard to see due to the coloring (which i plan on going back and fixing at a later date) but the title of this book is "the wonderful world of elevators" which is a taz reference

pg37 - this is more a production fun fact but i made the eyes on the shadow creature in esther's portrait by just heavily editing a photo of my eye lol

pg37 - as eddie sneaks away from the vargas's, he glitches out which is meant to show that he's using his shapeshifting powers. foreshadowing!

pg45 - foreground detail so everyone noticed it but eddies just kinda chilling here when the vargas's enter andy's library

pg46 and pg81 - bim bim the bear's tears match esther's death injuries, he also copies joeys expressions throughout the first arc!

pg52 - the author of this book is mai's dad, arthur!

pg54 - eddie's "tell" when she's shapeshifted as someone else is that the scar over her eye stays no matter what. this isn't the only instance of this, but emily's disguise makes it the most obvious!

while we're at it-- eddie can mimic the blank eyes of ghosts because he knows they have blank eyes from watching paranathan, but he doesn't know what their death injuries like so they can't mimic them.

pg60 - the environments in sarah's station are made of cardboard cut outs, mimicing the kinda toy-like feeling of a giant train model

pg68- anime sparkles

pg71 - my favorite example of bimbim mimicking joey's expressions

pg74 - this is obvious i just really wanna point out nathan blushing when he sees how fucking tall eddie is

pg76 - when stumbling across the recreation of the murder scene, joey and eddie stare at the replica of the murder weapon in horror while nathan looks ahead at the portrait on the wall. nathan has seen this scene before back when it actually happened, it wouldn't be shocking to him but the museum of grief lizzie's made for herself would. eddie and joey, who have never seen the scene before, focus on the replica weapon.

pg83 - joey and esther bein BUDS

theres a few for page 84 so here we go:

one of eddie's murals is on a wall next to an ad for spectech, the mural is mocking eli

glenn and henry from a certain dnd podcast

more missing posters but theyre mega small so lol

pg86 - this is not a small detail i just really, really wanna point out nathan's cut off expression when eddie says this and how joey reacts to it being able to see what the audience cant. makes me insane

pg93 - ghost boxers. this isn't obvious but its 10x funnier if you know that its paranathan merch

pg100 - the newspaper changes to read "He's dead you're still here" when nathan starts to dissasociate

pg104 - this was a self indulgent lil thing for me but my players characters in our interstitial campaign are hidden back here!

pg114 - one of the background ghosts from pg8 is right here highlighted in red

pg117 has two things!

one of the background characters is holding a paranathan phone case

steve and alex of mc fame. this reference wasnt intentional at first but a friend pointed it out while i was coloring and i thought it was funny as hell and just ran with it

pg118 due to A Shenanagin in the tip the ferrymen discord server, corporate art style babe ruth is now a thing in this comic

pg127 - eddie seeing eli in the same room as them and just immediately deciding to leave

theres a bunch more but those are all foreshadowing for BIG spoilers later and this is mostly lil easter eggs/goofs/etc HFJSDHFKDS

#tip the ferrymen #long post #hi. i think abt my webcomic a lot can you tell HFJKFKJSDF

About your post with Nancy failing as a reporter. I agree. I really like Nancy, but she's frustrating at times. She's so sure she's right, she often ignores other people around her and just bulldozes over everyone and everything until she gets the answer she wants. Which is not really befitting the patience and integrity needed to build a successful career as a journalist. (Including building on internships and networking as she should have done in s3 but totally blew).

Honestly, at this point I sometimes feel like she fits being a PI more or just some kind of investigator, (though I can't see her being a cop). She's driven to investigate, she digs and digs and she thrives when she looks for clues in all the Upside Down stuff. Especially s3 felt to me more like investigating like a detective or PI rather than the work of a reporter. Setting aside her tendency to bulldoze and ignore until she's satisfied and proven right, her drive to me feels less like a desire to get the truth published and known to the world, and more a desire to be the one uncovering the truth and getting justice. I don't know. All of s2, 3 and 4 she just seems more like a digging investigator/detective digging and digging until she has all the answers because she wants to be the one to uncover it (ergo, the smart clever one, whose hunch was right) and less like "im a journalist, I just want the truth out no matter what it is, even if I don't like or agree with it". Nancy just has this tendency to have one idea in her head and if the truth doesn't fall under that or agree with it, she rebels or turns her back on it, pissed, because she wants to be right. So I cant see her fall well under journalism because of that. But maybe that's just me

I honestly could see her being a cop, probably with a goal of making detective (and honestly having to go through the training to become a detective would probably be good for her. If she's right about something it won't just be a lucky hunch) but also I could see her going after a cop job for the respect of it. I'm guessing part of the reason you can't picture her as a cop is possibly because of acab, but given that Hopper is already a cop, I have to shift my perspective on the characters for that. Not as in Stranger things presents cops as good guys so in the universe they are, but more so, given that the duffers view cops as good guys (even if the current force in hawkins can be incompetent) then the morals of the characters are more likely to reflect that as well. Really I think the only characters who wouldn't look up to or would consider the possibility of the job as cool Eddie, Max, and maybe Erica, but even Erica bootlicks for capitalism so maybe not even her. Because they live in a society that tells them to look up to cops

Especially with their connections to Hopper, I could see most of the characters maybe considering the possibility. Plus, with Nancy in particular, she doesn't have a lot of patience, so becoming a cop would become the fastest route to getting the respect she so craves. I could see it

There are a few more points about that in this ask, including points by the anon of the post

i know max is supposed to be ronance's child but i cant help but see her as steddie's kid. like steve is the babysitter, he's always with the kids and he was there the first time vecna got max, and he knows about her relationship with billy and how complicated it is. he's protected her from him and took her to visit his grave. he's also the only big kid who got a letter. so i imagine he became like a brotherly figure in her life, being who billy should have been.

eddie and max both live in the trailer park, so i'd imagine sometimes she'd go over to his trailer, or eddie would come to hers to check on her. he'd teach her how to play guitar and she'd show him how to skateboard. i can imagine them working on cars together (bc i am a mechanic!eddie truther), and eating dinner together & getting to have the siblings they always wanted.

and bc it's me, every single one of my hc's include steddie, once steve and eddie start dating, everything kinda combines and they are protective & close with max in a different way than dustin and a different way than the other kids.

anyways!!!! my point being, max deserves brothers who love her & protect her.

My #1 post of 2022

steve telling his students (teacher!steve, so true) about his super sweet and caring husband and they all think it's just some average, boring dude. and they find out that the guy who irons mr. harrington's clothes every morning and adopted 3 kittens so the siblings wouldn't be separated, is a rock musician, with tattoos all over his arms and is wearing a shirt that says sum shit like "the devil was an angel too" when he comes in for career day.

alternatively, eddie telling his bandmates about how super cool and tough his husband is & then one day some guy in a baby blue polo and pressed slacks shows up before their show to give eddie a specific pick and a kiss on the cheek and eddies band mates are like..........that's him? that's the guy who bit the head off a bat and hit billy hargrove with his car?

(edit: read steve's version here!)

Hi hello hi it's been a long time I'm just passing through and i just wanted to say that I am ABSOLUTELY enamoured with the st dirty dancing AU it's starting to take over my brain and so here's your free pass to rant about it if you want !

Sincerely hope you've been doing great! Much love /p

–💐

OH HI HELLO OKAY UHHH

so. stranger things dirty dancing au: ronance edition, here we go.

in terms of characters i've got: steve as johnny, eddie as billy (who is johnny's cousin in the film, but is just steves friend/friend-he's-in-love-with in this au), robin as penny, nancy as baby/francis + then jason as either robbie or that annoying dude (kellermans nephew, cant remember his name bc i dont like him lmao) aand finally higgens as the main boss dude

(this is probably how the characters would work in the steddie version as well except technically eddie would be in baby's character slot but also the way it works in my head is different but this isn't that post so *waves it away*)

in terms of plot: it would still follow the same general storyline of johnny and baby in the film, (they meet, johnny needs a partner bc penny's gonna be out of commission, they practice, they fall in love, johnny's accused of theft, "nobody puts baby in the corner", they presumably live happily ever after) but with some adjustments!!

i'm cutting out most of the conflict with baby and her dad + lisa and robbie just bc it wouldn't fit in anywhere naturally yknow?

okay this is going to get a bit long so it's going under a cut <3

so the Wheelers go to some fancy resort-type thing for the summer and Nancy and Mike are both kinda moody about not getting to spend summer with their friends/doing what they want but Mrs Wheeler is like. trying to fix her family yknow so they're there.

Nancy sees Steve and Robin perform on that first night, after being forced to dance with some dunce and when she finally manages to escape she decides to go snooping, bc she's a Journalist (very much a "this sign can't stop me bc i can't read" type situation), and she ends up stumbling across Eddie who is attempting to haul like three entire watermelons on his own so she gives him a hand (he makes the lamest attempt ever at telling her she's not allowed there, and she ignores him and he's like 'aight') so she follows him to the staff house where they're having their lil party and then Robin and Steve come in again and dance some more but it's totally different to how they were dancing down at the main house and Eddie's like "That's Steve Harrington, he's one of my best friends- he actually got me the job here." and then he's like "And that's Robin Buckley, she's my other best friend and she got Steve his job here." and Nancy's trying to be totally normal about how Robin is moving bc sheesh is that a lot of hip work ("You'd think they were together!" "They're not?" "Nah, they're platonic with a capital P, if you can believe it.")

anyway so Robin is the one who comes over and hip checks Eddie and asks what Nancy's doing here and Eddie's all "she's here with me" and Nancy doesn't quite get why that makes Robin laugh but she's also sort of distracted by how pretty Robin is when she laughs and then suddenly Robin is dragging her on the dance floor to teach her how to dance like the staff kids and it's all sorts of accidentally flirtatious and boom Nancy's got a crush now

and then a few nights later she's being uncomfortably flirted with by whoever-i-decide-that-guy-will-be and he whisks her off to the kitchens where she see's robin curled up in a corner crying but trying to be quiet about it bc holy shit that guy is her boss and Nancy gets him out of there and then she finds Eddie and tells him and then Eddie tells Steve and then Steve immediately starts heading to the kitchen and it turns out Robin was having a meltdown due to sensory overload and Robin's kind of mad they told Nancy bc she's worried Nancy's gonna go tell someone from management that she's not fit to dance there but Nancy just wants to make sure she's okay

she comes back to the staff house another night just to check on Robin and finds out that Eddie's band has their first gig of the season lined up at a bar somewhere and at first Nancy doesn't get why Steve seems so upset about it until she finds out that it's booked the same night that Steve and Robin have a show at the other hotel so Steve won't be able to go and Eddie's trying to tell him it's fine but Steve's like "but i've never missed your first show" and Nancy's like "well can someone fill in for you so you can go?" and they give her the whole spiel about how everyone works there so everyones booked in doing other things and then Robin's like "unless you wanna do it" and then Steve's like "I mean..." and Robin elbows him and tells him it was a joke but then Eddie points out that Nancy can sorta dance, she picked it up fairly quickly that first night so now suddenly Nancy is Robins partner for this show that they've got in two weeks.

all the usual practice shenanigans happen, with the "this is my dance space" and the "see this? spaghetti arms" and "don't put your heel down!" until we finally get to the "are you trying to kill me?! is this your idea of fun?!" "oh yeah- we've got the show in two days, you won't show me any of the lifts, im not sure of my turns, im doing all this just to save your ass when all I really wanna do is drop you on it." "well then let's get out of here." and then they go practice in the woods.

(side note: the reason im so hellbent on figuring out a steddie version of this au is bc i just know they would be so perfect for the above scenes, i can imagine eddie saying the thing about dropping steve on his ass so vividly)

they do the show and Robin is really pleased with getting to wear a suit instead of the dress, and Nancy spends half the night trying not to get distracted by the sight of Robin in a suit, and then when they get back they find out Steve got his shit rocked bc some homophobe saw him and Eddie kissing outside the bar (Steve did win tho so he's got that going for him) and Eddie's like. still too mad about Steve getting hurt (not mad at steve, just heated yknow?) to really be useful and Robin doesn't want to leave them so Nancy like. breaks into the main office bc that's the only place she knows there's a fully stocked first aid kit and she does her best to fix Steve up

later she goes to Robin's room to like. apologise for fucking up some parts of the dance and also for not really being able to help Steve 'enough' and then that's how they have the whole "You're not scared of anything-" "Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, what I did, who I am. And most of all, I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life...the way I feel when I'm with you." interaction where they wind up dancing in a scene that is probably more sexually charged than any sex scene could hope to be and then they DO sleep together and then they're all couple-y and shit

and then blah-blah-blah maybe someone see's Steve's face or whatever and makes a tasteless comment and Robin rocks their shit bc no one gets to talk bad about her best friend and then that ends up being what prompts someone to accuse Robin of being the thief and there's the whole thing with Nancy trying to convince everyone it couldn't've been Robin without giving their relationship away until she finally admits they were together all night so there's no way Robin could have stolen anything

and they find the real thieves but they end up firing Robin anyway bc the dance staff aren't supposed to mingle with the guests and Nancy is both outraged and upset but Robin's just touched that she stood up for her and she tells Nancy she'll be okay, she's always landed on her feet and they have a teary goodbye and yeah (i've decided that Robin still can't drive, but Steve quit when Robin was fired bc they're a DUO (but Eddie is gonna stay until the end of the season bc Steve and Robin were both like "dont you dare-") so he drives her sjdfshk)

BUT THEN THE NIGHT OF THE TALENT....NIGHT (for those who haven't actually seen dirty dancing, im so sorry about the lack of context for some of the things im saying sjfhsdk bc im aware that this seems to have come out of fucking nowhere) and Nancy's hidden away in the corner with Mike and their parents while they watch the opening but then! who comes through door? it's Robin! and she grabs Nancy (i dont know yet if i'm gonna use the iconic line or not, bc i am thinking of actually having Nancy known as 'baby' throughout the fic and then they can have the "what's your real name, baby?" "Francis" except this time it's "Nancy." but idk yet) and she gives her little speech about she's sorry for crashing but her and steve always do the last dance and seeing as her and steve are technically fired, she's gonna do it her way.

Eddie's already there changing the music bc he's probably the one who helped her sneak in in the first place and then they do their little routine from the show at the other hotel and then Robin jumps into the crowd and all the staff kids are dancing their way and it's chaos in the best way and Nancy joins her in the crowd and they dance together before slipping away and Nancy's mum stops her and just kind of looks at them and then hugs Nancy and then they escape into the night or whatever.

and then maybe there'd be a time-skip and Robin and Steve are now freelance dance teachers and Nancy comes in to show them the article she wrote, fresh off the printer, that boasts the opening of their brand new dance studio.

#stranger things dirty dancing au #the ronance edition anyway #i think the steddie one would follow the plot a lot more loosely #but anyway yeah can you tell i've been thinking about this all afternoon/evening? #asks #💐 anon

[piningeddiediaz]

34, 39, and 63 for the show asks please💞

34. Most badass moment?

i... suddenly cant remember a single moment?? the only thing popping into my head right now is that rope rescue to save that woman in the fire which isn't my favourite by any means but lets go with that for now while I desperately try to remember things lol

39. Your favorite headcannon?

oh ive got SO MANY I can't pick one??? ok ok currently nothing gives me more joy than poor ol' ravi being constantly confused about the whole buckandeddie of it all and assuming they are divorced husbands but he also Does Not Get It because OBVIOUSLY they're still in love with each other?? also LOVE the entire 118 having a bet on when buck and eddie are getting together and at this point it's been going on for so many years it could probably fund a nice vacation

63. Moment that makes you go i n s a n e?

JUST ONE??? hmmm which one shall I pick? when buck got down on his hands and knees and tried to dig through 40ft of mud to reach eddie, sobbing so hard that he had to be physically pulled away by his captain? or shall I pick the moment when eddie gets shot and his blood gets sprayed on buck's face, when all they can do is stare at each other in shock while eddie falls on the ground? when eddie uses the last of his strength to reach for buck? when the last thing eddie says before letting himself succumb to the darkness is ask buck if he is okay? OR shall I pick the classic, the "there is no body in the world I trust with my son more than you" as if eddie's grandmother doesn't live like. 15 minutes away. OR how about the "because, evan - you act like you're expendable, but you're wrong". fellas is it crazy to give your son to your best friend, sit on it for a year and then use the knowledge to confirm said best friend's irreplaceable place in your life, home and family? IS IT?? OR how about --

sorry for being unhinged but im unhinged because this entire show feels like a fever dream to me. I wouldn't be able to make up half this shit as fanfiction. when I tell this to people they dont believe me
