I am once again thinking about the fact that when Karen found out Nancy had slept with Steve in s1 she was fucking pissed but the moment she finds Nancy trying to sneak Jonathan into her room in s2, she's like "oh hi Jonathan 🥰" I think Karen just hated Steve tbh 😭

As long as it lives under the umbrella for Stranger Things and fairytales, it shall be accepted. 

This event is year long! No worries about quick dates, this is mainly to come together to have fun, and celebrate our love for each other and the fandom that brought us all together.

Join us! We will have movie nights, sprints, giveaways, and D&D sessions!

That's why he loves her

[ronancecats]

ok you got me super curious. why don't you like steve?

This is gonna be a long one, so unbuckle your seatbelts, slam on the brakes, and do a front flip out of the windshield.

I'm going to break it down by season because that will help me get all my points down, and I don't want to leave anything out. Also, a little disclaimer: I do like Steve's writing, and I appreciate the way he's developed and the role he plays, but with that being said, I still don't like him as a character.

I'm going to try and explain each reason the best I can, but I low-key suck at that so I'm sorry if anything seems confusing.

SEASON 1:

season 1 is the season that is most self-explanatory of why I don't like him, I don't think anyone genuinely likes him in season 1.

-He literally slut shamed Nancy. Like...I don't care if he was only a teenager/had bad friends. He would've been 17 and old ENOUGH to understand the consequences of that and that it would hurt Nancy...that's why he did it in the first place.

-he was awful to Jonathan, and I'm not necessarily talking about the breaking camera thing, I'm talking about what he said to him before the fight. He called him queer (a slur back in the 80's), insulted his family, and insinuated that he had something to do with his little brother's disappearance.

-He pressured Nancy into sex. NO, HE DID NOT SA HER. It was consensual, but with that being said, something can still be consensual and enjoyed while having pressure on top of that. Also, he didn't stop Carol when she was mocking Nancy and making her uncomfortable; he was smug about it. But yes, I understand he was just a teenager then.

-He just, in general, didn't respect her boundaries at all and made Barb's disappearance about himself AT FIRST.

SEASON 2:

-He left Nancy, black out drunk, at a party. Yes, he was heartbroken, but he left her there and she was really lucky that Jonathan was there.

There's not much else in season 2 honestly. Mostly my feelings about him in s2 come from the first couple episodes when all he wanted was to make Nancy forget about her guilt and leaving her at the party. But yeah, I don't care about him in s2.

SEASON 3:

There's nothing necessarily bad about him in s3. I just hate how they made him this big character but then pushed Jonathan to the side, but that has nothing to do with his character. That's just a personal pet peeve I have with the duffers.

S3 was definitely his best season and the only one I can say I liked him in. They let him focus on his platonic relationships instead of making him chase after Nancy the whole time, and I like that. If they kept him like this for s4, I probably wouldn't dislike him as much as I do, but they just had to make him go back to that and it ruined him for me. Hopefully in s5 they'll let him be like his s3 self again.

SEASON 4:

-the six nugget speech. OH MY GOD BROTHER EUGH. I could make a whole essay about this, but long story short, it was completely unhinged and just shows he only wants Nancy for his dream, and he doesn't really care about her dreams in a romantic sense. He's in love with the idea of her, not her.

In conclusion, I only like Steve when they don't make his entire character revolve around Stancy and that dead relationship. Let Stancy die, I BEG OF YOU. It's better for Steve, Nancy, Jonathan, and literally everyone who watched the damn show without rose-colored glasses for Steve.

If they just let the love triangle die in s2, I can almost guarantee that I would like Steve more. But alas, they didn't and kept it around as if we don't already know how it's going to end.

Anyway, I probably went into way more detail than you wanted me to, but oh well. I wanted to be honest.

more drawtectives theories

In ep1 the main thing that made me doubt if the blond guy was actually eugene is the way that jancy phrased his entrance. Maybe julia did it that way bc the ep cut before the revelation and that way we would doubt ourselves more? But also, did jancy really send the drawtectives to a fake murder just to pull a joke? Or was it to keep them away from the actual crime happening? If she wanted them away it could be for 2 main reasons 1)Good Jancy: there's someone out to get the drawtectives and she wants to protect them but if she lets them know they may put themselves on danger or there is another greater reason for her to keep them ignorant abt this OR jancy is in danger and she has a mega elaborate plan so the drawtecruves can like "save" her2) bad jancy: she is associated to the ones committing the actyal crimes and she just wants them to lose time so her and her associates can work more calmly OR she isn't actually jancy but an evil imposter so the imposter is the actual mr evil guy and mr evil guy wants them dead or smt like that.

One of my favorite dynamics is a couple accompanied by the sibling of one of them
