#and could tie more into the commentary on jason encouraging mob mentality

[red-bat-arse]

stranger things s4 au where the only thing different is that Eddie actually is a satanist a la Anton Lavey's church of satan, so he spends the whole time on the run... a bit more personally offended by the whole thing

"we don't worship a literal satan," Eddie rolled his eyes at Carver proselytizing in the school halls yet again

"i've never fucking sacrificed anybody!" he hissed to himself after the jocks passed his hiding spot, talking loudly about what they'd do when they caught him "and they wonder why i didn't keep going to church..."

this is fucking crazy and bullshit and i hate it, Eddie was fast having to square the circle of not believing magic/demons/spells were real as he walked around in an actual fucking hell dimension- still, he thought, glancing back at Steve, at least there's a great view

like i've seen a fic or two where Eddie's a devil worshipper or trying to sacrifice someone to Vecna but never just a typical everyday satanist trying to get through high school and make his band work on the side, having to grumble and mutter his way through the various stereotypes and misconceptions people have about the church of satan
