Warnings: Mentions of sex. This blog is 18+ Minors do not interact.

A/N: My first preference! There will be quite a few of these across quite a few fandoms so if you'd like to be tagged in future preferences or future stranger things posts please let me know in the comments! :) Also any Russian is taken straight from google translate so pre-apologies if I have butchered it! Enjoy!

Steve Harrington

Steve keeps his pet names quite generic, baby, babe, sweetheart. It's not so much the names he uses but how he says them. Most of the time he's most comfortable using the shortened version of your name or nickname he has for you, but the amount of affection he would put into it would make you melt. If he's being especially flirtatious you'd even occasionally get doll. He doesn't miss the effect it has on you when he calls you that.

Eddie Munson

Eddie is as theatrical with his pet names as he is with anything else in life. He loves to call you princess, especially during Hellfire meetings when he can incorporate you into his campaign. I think Eddie would switch between a few pet names to try to keep it interesting, baby, sunshine, sweetheart. It doesn't matter what he calls you it never fails to give you butterflies. Let's not pretend that if you two are hanging out in his trailer while you joke around and play air guitar together that he doesn't call you his little Rockstar.

Billy Hargrove

Billy's pet names for you depend on two things; his mood, and who you are around. In public you're only getting the less heartfelt pet names, he refers to you as his girl a lot in front of other people. Not only does he love the small smile it brings to your face but it also feeds into his possessive side, knowing that everyone knows you are his. When you two are alone and have been together for a while, Billy finally shoes a softer side of himself. He will compliment you a lot and attach all sort of pet names to those compliments, baby, sugar, sweet thing, still loving to resort to calling you his girl. You're mad at him and he's trying to make it up to you? Get ready for him to bargain his way back into your arms, wrapping his arms around you as he whispers in your ear, "Come on sweetheart, you know you can't stay mad at me."

Jonathan Byers

This soft, shy, adorable baby will probably be hesitant to use pet names for a long time. I honestly doubt you would hear them until you two begin to get intimate and he's too lost in the moment to think about what he's saying. He's pussy drunk and rambling into your neck, pet names would all be soft and sweet while he's chasing his high, beautiful and sweetheart would be at the top of his list. Getting high in his room? This sweet man would be telling you how you're his sunshine, rambling on in his delirium about how you light up his life.

Dmitri Antonov

While this man's English is very good, he still prefers to use pet names in Russian. There's something about the way he looks at you with his intense gaze as he slips back into his native tongue that just turns you into an absolute puddle. His favourites include котенок (kitten) and моя любовь (my love). The thought of this man holding you while you curl up in bed for the night, arms wrapped around you while he whispers endearing words in Russian into your ear is enough to bring butterflies to your stomach.

Jim Hopper

Let's not pretend like for a goooooooood while this man affectionately refers to you as kid even if you are barely a few years younger than him. He's a tough shell of a man that will refuse to open up or show his feelings for a long time, but when he does you realise its worth the wait. He doesn't throw around pet names and words of endearment a lot as he prefers to save them for moments when he feels it's right. When it's just the two of you and you're sharing a soft moment, sometimes referring to you as darling in his softer moments. Occasionally you might even get a cheeky baby.

Alexei

Another Russian baby, this adorable man will always call you pet names in Russian, it doesn't matter how much his English has improved. It just means more to him coming from his native tongue. His regular go to include голубь (Dove) and милый (Darling). Although, Murray taught him how Americans us Pumpkin as a term of endearment as a way to screw with you both and now it's one of Alexei's favourite things to call you. Jokes on Murray because seeing Alexei's face light up as he reaches for you and calls you pumpkin is enough to fall even more in love with him.

Murray Bauman

I feel like Murray cannot find it in himself to call you soft names to start off with. He's still confused by the fact that you even want to be with him, he's not going to possibly embarrass himself further using some pet names that might cross some invisible line he's set up for himself. He refers to as lady a lot, or another unique name that fits your looks of personality. Once this man is comfortable and more secure in your relationship I think the names would still stay light and not too sensitive. You would definitely get honey a lot, I don't think Murray would be able to resist yelling through the house when he gets home, "Honey, I'm home!"

Robin Buckley

Robin would also keep her pet names generic just like her bestie Steve, but less out of originality and more just to play it safe. Robin would have some insecurities going into a relationship after all the careful steps she took just to get to where you two are now. She is hesitant at first to say the wrong thing so she sticks to a lot of sweetheart and babe. One day you were spending time together and she slipped up and called you buttercup. She panicked for a second worrying what you would think of the nickname, but seeing your smile wiped all of those worries away and it became one of her favourite pet names so far.

Argyle

Okay so we all know this cutie is not going to call you any conventional pet names unless he's sober which is not very often. You're going to get a lot of my dude and bro but he does really mean it affectionately with you. Other than that you're definitely going to get a lot of made up names that mean absolutely nothing but to him they mean a lot; wicked lady, cream puff, anything. He would totally refer to you as "my queen" when he lets you into the van which he refers to as your chariot. Your favourite pet name would be the time he said, "My pretty girl is gonna get all the pizza she wants" he couldn't understand your reaction as you couldn't think of what to say next after hearing Argyle call you his pretty girl.

Henry/001

I whole heartedly believe this man would refer to you as pet. He does mean it endearingly but he also can't resist how you scrunch your nose up at hearing the teasing term. He also uses a lot of "My little..." whether it be bird, bunny, dove. He constantly feels the need to protect you and he shows that in his terms of endearment by referring to you as small and innocent. I know this man would call you his good girl, and you will have to pry that thought out of my cold dead hands.

A/N: Hope you guys like this! Reminder that if you want to be tagged in future Stranger things posts or other preferences to let me know in the comments and ill create a tags list :)

Kate, blushing furiously: *passes Yelena the salt*

Melina: I’m glad you two have good sexual relationship

Natasha: ok I’m leaving bye

Murray doesn't need to help byler out. He walks in on them kissing in the hallway and then proceeds to pour himself a drink

not sure if this has been asked before, but who would baby their lover and who would like the be babied? ❤️

Alexei - Doesn't actually need to be babied, but appreciates any attention. Gentle babies you

Brooklyn - Babies you a lot. A little too much sometimes. Receptive to being babied

Leo - Not great at being babied and prefers to do the babying

Milo - Subtle babying of you. Might lean into babying of him in a joking way

Rory - Babies you more through actions than words. You doing it to him is embarrassing (yet he won't stop you)

Tobias - Annoying whiny baby in need of attention. Often flips it onto you, though

If there's a plot twist in Stranger Things and said plot twist is that the whole show was in fact a huge DnD session/game, I really hope we get to see some of the characters that passed away throughout the seasons (doesn't matter how brief their screentime is).

Personally, I would really like to see Billy & Bob. Also poor Benny, Benny was just minding his own business, selling food and bastards killed him. Mews.. (JUSTICE FOR MEWS), Barb, Alexei, Heather, Eddie (so the Eddie fans are happy), Chrissy... If there are people out there who want to see Papa, I hope he is there too. And yeah, everyone.

- Kate Bush never allowed shows or movies to use her songs with Stranger Things being her only exception

- Millie saying the day she shaved her head was “the most empowering day of my life.”

- The ENTIRETY of the Halloween scenes with the party

- Dustin making a whole radio that can reach North to South Pole and NO ONE CARED

- Benny Hammond

- Joyce kicking Mayor Kline in the balls

- “Do you know Dustin Henderson?” “Know him? I’ve bled with him.”

- Technically this isn’t directly a Stranger Things thing but how on Ao3 ‘Soccer mom Steve Harrington’ is an official tag

- Dustin and Erica’s friendship

- Platonic Stobin

- Alexei and his cherry slushees 😭😭😭

Some waterpark headcanons 🌊

Alexei - He really enjoys the water (especially once you/someone teaches him how to swim 🏊‍♂️). Particularly likes sitting on a tube in the wave pool, and will hold your hand so you don't get separated. You'll catch him studying ride mechanics pretty frequently. He'll figure out how to make tube rides go real fast. Rather than being afraid, he's just beaming. If the turbulence makes you squish into him, that's only a plus

Brooklyn - On duty making sure you're hydrated and protected from the sun, if needed. He'll get a VIP pass. As much as he wants to, he will not wear a Victorian bathing suit. However, swim trunks + sunglasses give him a very different sort of look than you're used to 🔥 He'll even make the ride attendants stutter. This guy does not have any interest in solo rides. He wants to be with you

Leo - Leo is quintessential waterpark boyfriend. Like he should be working there. He's up for anything and is just very golden-retriever-in-the-water engery. He's a pro on the surfing simulator and insists on carrying large tubes up to the rides himself. Puts his arm around you while waiting in line and sneaks a few kisses here and there. If you start getting too hot, he'll give you his hat. Loves wrapping you up in a towel at the end of the day

Milo - Is content to do whatever you want to do. Fluctuates between being a gentleman by holding the inner tube still for you to get in...and positioning you both so you get the most air and bumps. Lowkey holds your hand in line. Eats a lot of pizza. Uses the lazy river as an opportunity to take a nap. Excellent to use as a flotation device in the wave pool. He looks quite tan by the time you leave

Rory - You'll be reapplying sunscreen on him about every 1.5 hours, otherwise he'll burn to a crisp. Packs lunches for the two of you rather than purchasing food. Top of his list is the death drop water slide. So annoyed if someone cuts you two in line. Wraps his arms around you only in dark tunnel rides. Secretly pleased if you ever get scared and cling to him. Disappears at one point and comes back with a cute souvenir from the gift shop for ya

Tobias - Even disregarding his celebrity status, he will draw attention due to his appearance, so be prepared to have everyone ogling your boyfriend. He'll want to go on the adrenaline rides and will encourage you to join. Will be scared of rides with animatronics and such. He's that guy who wants to make out with their partner in queue, but he'll try to keep it PG. Cabana rental where the two of you can chill with some privacy
