“Steve, no. C’mon, Steve, you gotta come back. You can’t leave me alone again. Please, Steve, don’t leave me alone again! I need you, Steve! We haven’t even finished planning the wedding!”

—

“No, no, no, no, no”

Robin climbs back through to the Upside Down with no hesitation. She scrambles to Steve’s side and is holding his face in her hands.

“Steve, no. C’mon, Steve, you gotta come back. You can’t leave me alone again. Please, Steve, don’t leave me alone again! I need you, Steve! We haven’t even finished planning the wedding!”

There’s was a gasp from Nancy behind her but Robin doesn’t care right now because she needs her best friend back. She can’t lose him. It might just kill her if Steve dies. Suddenly, there’s hands on her shoulders and she’s turned around. Nancy looks determined.

“What’s his song, Robin!”

She realizes and tells Nancy, quickly turning back to Steve and praying if she keeps saying all the important stuff Steve has to know, has to remember, that he’ll come back to them.

“Steve, you gotta come back. We need you! You have kids to come home to. You have me and all your friends to come home to! C’mon, Steve, remember Eddie? He’s right there on the other side of the gate waiting for you to come home and valiently sweep him off his feet. God, please don’t leave me, Steve.”

She rests her forehead on his as she keeps talking. Praying that he can even hear her while no music is playing.

“Steve, you- I can’t lose you. You’re my Iris, remember? Think of all the Sunflowers, Steve. They’re all waiting for you. You gotta run to the Sunflowers- to your Iris -Please! Create a damn meadow in your mind’s eye if you have to, but don’t stop fighting!”

About halfway through her second bout of trying to reach her best friend, Eddie comes in on his guitar with Steve’s song. She knows he definitely can hear her now, so she doesn’t stop.

“Steve, we’re having a fall wedding, remember? Cuz we both know I’ll already be sweating through any dress I’d end up wearing, but why make it worse with a ceremony in Summer? You have to be here to marry me, Steve. You promised you-“

Robin realizes for a brief moment that she’s completely lost control of her face at this point. She’s sobbing and snotting all over both of them. Knowing Steve, he’ll come back and tell her that she has to do all the laundry once they kill Vecna for covering him in snot again. Hopes he will.

“-please, I can’t be alone again! Don’t leave me on the roof, please, Steve! You’re the only person I have, please! Without your laughter I’d go blind! Without your eyes I’d go deaf! You remind me to keep going! You keep me from just giving up! You can’t give up, Steve!”

When she realizes that Nancy has started to sing into Steve’s ear right beside her, Robin joins in. Maybe he needs them to sing more than he needs to remember why he has to survive this. Anything to keep him from defying gravity and leaving her.

“Well, you came in loving me

And now there's so much more I see

And so by the way

I thank you”

Chemical overreaction / compound fracture

Oh, I didn’t know that.

I was listening to Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” on youtube, and browsing the comments several people mentioned …

Okay. The song is about the real sinking of the freighter the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior in 1975. And there’s a line in the song:

“In the Maritime Sailor’s Cathedral,

The Church Bell chimed till it rang twenty nine times,

For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald”

Which references something that the actual Maritime Church in Detroit did in honour of the ship’s crew. And I just found out in those youtube comments for his song that when Gordon Lightfoot died in May last year (2023), the Maritime Church rang those bells again, this time 30 times. Once for every man on the Edmund Fitzgerald, and once more for Gordon Lightfoot.

That’s … That is a memorial I would be proud to have earned. And proud to give. I do like that. A lot.

Apparently, the Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior also lit its beacon in honour of him.

Sorry. I’m having … extremely maritime sort of feelings over here. Songs and memorials, bells and beacons, and the ways we carry memory forward. That’s … that’s a good memorial. I like that.

odysseus actually saying the word rape in the song freed me of all the discomfort hold them down made me feel

idk why but it's just so. sexual assault has always been something that should have clear boundaries - and instead, you see the people in power, people who should punish and uphold the law, shift around definitions and wordplay.

as if it isn't a disgusting violation of a person, of their life, of their trust.

metaphors are beautiful, they're my favourite figure of speech. but metaphors, skirting around the topic, when it comes to rape, is what, to me, truly makes that feeling of disgust and discomfort, and yes, even panic, rise.

because the truth is? i know there are people who can excuse and disregard "taking her love and more". not consider it rape. not consider it assault. there are, unfortunately, people who can disregard a metaphor this clear. justify it, even.

but most of those people can't justify the word rape.

I dont know if this makes sense. forgive me if it doesn't. but to me, the intense nausea that hold them down brought about was erased and hell, even comforted, by the rage and protectiveness and bluntness of that one line in odysseus.

jay did a fucking fantastic job.
