i always hated how Billy was never really part of what was happening in Hawkins like he had no idea about the upside down and just left completely in the dark about everything leading to him and his possession in s3… I just wished we could’ve seen him as a hero along side the rest of the gang fighting along side them :/ maybe then his relationship with Max could’ve started repairing 💔

Haunted house scare actor Eddie Munson is so so real to me. His favorite thing in the world is scaring the Real Tough jocks in front of their dates. What are they gonna do? Retaliate? They'd have to admit they were scared first. Also they'd have to find him first, he wears a mask and hides any distinguishing features for sure.

He's on smoke break when he sees King Steve meandering up to the haunted house with a group of popular kids. And if his instincts aren't lying to him- Harrington seems uneasy? Hesitant, maybe, to actually enter. Flinches at the ominous creaking of branches and witch cackle coming out of a speaker by the tombstones and the flickering of the lights. Fans the conversation when it seems like they'll go in soon to delay the inevitable.

Oh this is going to be fun.

Eddie finishes his cigarette and furtively books it into the house lmao, so he'll get to be the one to scare King Steve. Except instead of cowering or screaming or pushing a girl into the oncoming chainsaw (the aftermath of that one had been fun), he- okay he does kind of yell when scared. But it's honestly a pretty manly yell, especially combined with the arm pushing one of his friends behind himself, like he's gonna use himself as a human shield. Swoon. Also his face is kind of terrifying? He looks at Eddie like he's ready to kill or die to protect and it's annoyingly fucking attractive for the two seconds Eddie sees it before there's a broomstick coming at his noggin.

And then he's down.

Ow.

"Oh shit. Fuck. Oh I'm so sorry, fuck I didn't mean to- are you okay dude? I am so! Sorry!"

And then Steve tells his friends to go on without him and helps Eddie into the- break room? Or maybe just outside somewhere on a bench.

They fall in love, the end

I really liked this shot because the *danger* present is so palpable, heavy in the air, so ready to fire off in Billy at the tiniest stimuli, and I feel it’s made worse by the two-finger push by Steve, too unassertive to establish any sort of leg up in this power dynamic, yet paradoxically just an aggressive enough motion to rile Billy’s pugnacity.

Everyone in Stranger Things is a great actor, you can tell they FEEL the characters, the hair-trigger temper of Billy ready to snap, Steve’s bravado hiding the fear of a young adult way out of his depth on dealing with legitimately dangerous people, the fear of the kids in the room because they’re just fecking kids. I think that’s what makes a good power dynamic in season 2, is that if Will and the gang were older, say, adults, Billy wouldn’t have been as big a threat as he was. But the imbalance between little normal-life suburban kids and one fucked-up young adult in his physical prime made the stakes much higher, especially since Billy literally had nothing to lose, just a psychopathic dude ready to burn himself out any day now.
