#autistic-coded eddie munson

[withered-rxse]

Eddie's weird.

Okay, that might be super obvious, but there's a specific explanation Steve has for thinking that.

Eddie's not weird for liking metal, or playing DND, or speaking in theatrics, no.

Eddie is weird for a multitude of other things.

He bites his friends. He'll be super happy to see Gareth or Dustin and then CHOMP!

Right in the shoulder.

Eddie also collects the weirdest shit Steve has ever seen anyone collect. And that's something, because Robin collects glass bottles and paperclips.

No, what Eddie collects is bones. FUCKING BONES. Steve could go on and on about how weird and disgusting that is.

But despite this weird stuff, Steve can't help but love him. He has fallen so hard for Eddie and all these weird quirks about him.

God, what he wouldn't give for Eddie to be so happy to see Steve that he just... Bites him.

Not even sexually! Just so ecstatic to be face-to-face with Steve that he just chows down.

Steve also loves Eddie's obsession with bones. Sure, it's absolutely weird, but the way Eddie lights up like a Christmas tree when he sees a piece of spine or rib on their walks around the lake just warms Steve's heart.

It got to the point Steve would pick them up just to give to Eddie or plant on their route for the day, all so he could see that sunny bright smile and the sparkle in those beautiful brown, doe eyes of his all over again.

When he told Robin about his tendencies to go out of his way to see Eddie happy like that, she quickly chalked up that Steve was in love. Steve sputtered and gawked with the freckles on his face and neck being cradled by a rose red, but he knew she was right. That was the only way to explain it.

Rationally, at least.

Robin pushed him to confess to the weirdo, and he almost did! But Steve doesn't know how. He's normally so suave and charming, but Eddie leaves him breathless. Red. Confused.

Which brings Steve to right now.

~•°×_-*~

"Fuck I can't get this right!" He crumpled another paper and dropped it into the bin behind the counter.

Robin is sat on the counter, kicking her legs and picking at her cuticles while letting out a long, annoyed sigh.

"It can't be that hard, Dork. You just have to tell him how you feel." She lectured.

"Uh huh..." Steve drew out, "Mind putting your money where your mouth is? I don't see you doing the same with Vick."

Robin looked guffawed, and she was opening and closing her mouth repeatedly, trying to close her lips around the right comeback. But she couldn't find a snarky remark to make. Steve was right.

Surprisingly.

"Oh shut your mouth, and get to writing." Robing finally grasped something and her leg bounced a bit more rapidly.

Steve groaned and slapped the pen down on top of the paper, "Can't you write it for me? It was your idea in the first place."

Robing shook her head, "Obviously not. One, they're your feelings, not mine."

She held up her pointer and counted the reasons on her hand, "Two, I'm not suave! I'm super awkward! And I don't even like guys, and I can never find the right words and..." She waved her hand around nervously and she got off track quick.

Steve's eyebrow quirked. Robin had a tendency to ramble, so he was patient with her.

She cleared her throat once she realized she was rambling and held up a third finger, "And third, Eddie can tell the difference between your and my handwriting, easy. He'll think it's a joke and laugh it off and get both his and your feelings hurt."

"So.." she trailed off, "Yeah, no. This is all up to you, Stevie."

Steve grumbled again. She was right, again.

"But I don't know what to say!" He reasoned.

"Neither do I, Dingus! This is why you're doing it. You've got more dating experience than me." Robin waved her arms around like a maniac, Steve smiled and shook his head.

"With girls, Rob," he cleared up, "I have zero romantic experience with men."

Robin chortled, "You think I do?"

Steve shrugged, but she had a point. They were both helpless when it came to dating men, just for two completely different reasons.

"Well chop chop, Steve! You only have so much time before you can't confess anymore because one of you loses interest!" Robin flicked him on the forehead and picked at his brain figuratively.

Was Eddie also interested in Steve? Is he wasting time? Shit. This is so hard....

Penguin Pebbling With Eddie Munson

I just fucking realized in my writings of a continuation for my Autistic Coded!Reader X Eddie that I subconsciously have my reader Penguin Pebble the shit out of Eddie, and I can’t unsee it now.

But now all I can think of is you just seeing Eddie across the lunch table, and you think this dude is really interesting and neat and you want to be his friend, but you don’t know how to. So at some point you just do this in depth study about his interests and things he likes and listen in on his conversations when you walk past.

And then one day you just kind of awkwardly shuffle up to him, and hand him a very small bottle with miniature dice inside.

“So um I saw you like play that game with dice, and I was cleaning my room and I found this and I thought it was really neat. And I saw you like dice so, here.”

Queue you just handing it to him, then awkwardly shuffling away because you don’t really know how to keep the conversation going beyond that.

And the pebbles you give him just become increasingly bigger and more invested the more you give to him, because I feel like Eddie is probably vibrating with excitement and doesn’t know how to express his joy that someone actually thought of him.

Maybe he’s a little guarded at first, but after seeing you engage with the world he realizes that your gift giving isn’t malicious, nor are you doing it for favors.

100% will start doing it back to you.

Eddie’s first pebble is a magazine with an included poster of your favorite movie or celebrity.

It becomes an endless cycle of pebble giving until eventually you both are penguin pebbling wedding rings.

either way / no doubt

a/n: either way and no doubt by Odie Leigh have been on repeat currently and I relate to them so heavily so I word vomited on a Google docs. its a little rushed but oh well LMAO (I'm also always writing with a plus sized reader in mind)

cw: over thinker fem!reader, autistic coded reader, not knowing how to enter into a first serious relationship, kind lover boy!Eddie, no use of y/n

wc: 2.1k

It is the beginning of Spring when she meets Eddie Munson. Genuinely meets him, not just sees him around town and wonders what it’s like to be in his orbit. Working at the local diner, she sees him and his group of friends often. She’s served them a couple times, and they’re always respectful - albeit rambunctious. They tip well, stack their dishes for the busboys to clear, wave to her on the way out. 

It’s the day Eddie comes in by himself that marks it as different, new. He sits in her section of the diner, glances her way and then averts his gaze when she meets it. That’s odd, but she doesn’t think much else of it. Not until the end of his meal - consisting of a solitary cup of coffee and a slice of apple pie - does he stop her when she checks to see if he needs anything. 

He asks if she’d want to hang out sometime, and she laughs - a forced exhale of nerves. He asks why she’s laughing, and she doesn’t know what to say. After a few moments of awkward silence, she relents and shrugs. What would we do? He says anything she wants. What if she doesn’t know what she wants to do? He says they’ll figure it out together. 

They end up sitting in the back of Eddie’s van, the open doors facing Lover’s Lake. She’s fidgety, and stumbling over her words. He keeps staring at her when she talks and she’s not used to anybody doing this much work to stay focused on her and what she has to say, especially because she’s not saying much of substance. He asks her so many questions, and mundane ones at that. How are classes at the community college? What’s your major? She answers as best she can. 

The feeling of someone looking at her makes her skin crawl. She doesn’t know what to do with her hands, she’s uncomfortably aware of the position of her nose on her face, which seems incredibly silly, and then she’s thinking about just how silly that is when he asks her if she’s alright. 

“Sorry?”

“I was just asking if you felt alright. It looked like you went away for a second there,” Eddie ducks his head down to catch her line of sight. Eye contact has always been difficult for her, but this is different - warm - like sunshine. “I know I’m not the most exciting person to talk to, but I hope you’re having a good time. I enjoy talking to you.” 

“I’m here, sorry. I like talking to you too.”

“You don’t have to apologize, it’s okay.”

“Sorry. Oh-” She sucks in a breath and places her hand over her mouth, eyes wide at the realization of her mistake. He giggles, a sweet boyish sound, and it warms his face. She thinks she could love that face, if he let her. If she knew how. She laughs too, despite herself. “It’s a bad habit. I really have to stop apologizing so much.” 

He’s still smiling when he says it’s okay, he understands. 

Later, when he drops her off at her apartment, the sun has gone down. The ride he’d offered her is relatively quiet. It’s a strange thing, to see the way someone adjusts themself around you. The usual loud heavy metal is absent here. The fast driving and sharp turns are traded in for complying with the speed limit, graceful steering and soft brakes. When he looks at her, she directs her gaze out the window - when she looks at him, he is focused on the road. 

He stops her as she takes off her seatbelt and goes to open the door, jumping out of his own and running around the front of the van to open it for her. She leads him to her front door, and he asks if he can see her again, if he can have her number. She nods, and rummages around her purse for a few frantic seconds before finding her waitress notepad and pen. When she rips the page out that she’s written her number on and hands it to him, he clutches it to his chest and smiles.  

“I’ll call you when I get home, if that’s okay. Just to let you know I made it back safely.”

“And if I want to keep talking to you?”

“We can talk for as long as you want to.” 

“Okay.” 

Eddie walks backwards for a few seconds, keeping his eyes locked on hers, paper still against his heart. By the time he’s made it back to his van, he lifts a hand up for a short wave goodbye, and turns to face the vehicle. 

Now or never. 

“Eddie?” In true Munson fashion, he whips around completely at the sound of her calling out to him. 

“Yeah, sweets?” 

“I just wanted to tell you I had a really nice time with you today. I can’t wait for you to call me later.” She tucks her hair behind her ears, needing to do something with her hands to offset the nausea brought about by her impulsive vulnerability. He smiles wider, if that’s even possible. 

“I’m glad you had a good time. I’ve been wanting to ask you out forever, Gareth and the guys kept busting my balls about it. I promise I’ll call when I get home.” 

She nods, her eyes tracking his steps as he makes it to his car. She watches him drive off. It feels so strange, this immediate wanting him to come back, wanting him to come inside and crawl into her brain. To know her fully. It scares her in a way she’s incredibly unused to. When she can’t hear the music blasting from his speakers anymore, she makes her way inside and slumps against the door for a few seconds. 

He does call when he gets home, and they talk until the sun rises. 

__

They spend the next few days talking on the phone. It’s easier like this, she thinks. She doesn’t have to worry about the way she looks when she’s thinking of something to say. She doesn’t have to avoid his white hot gaze, the way she can feel it trail over her face when she’s speaking. If he notices how much more she opens up to him when they’re not actively sitting next to each other, he doesn’t mention it. 

When they’re not on the phone, he clings to her brainspace like moss on a tree. She can’t stop thinking about him, to the point she’s worried she’s obsessing over something that isn’t there. He’d said he had a good time, he said he enjoyed talking to her, so why does it keep bothering  her so much? He feels safe. He does feel safe, but she’s not used to conversations with no expectations. No guise, no hidden agenda. If he notices the way she starts to pull away due to her overthinking, her sentences shorter and stunted, he doesn’t mention it. He carries on as usual, calling her to talk about what he’d done that day. It makes her smile. 

When he asks, unprompted, if he can see her again, she says yes. 

__

They go to the lake again. It is an early March morning, the last tendrils of Winter still grasping desperately for some kind of recognition against early Spring. He brings a blanket and hot cocoa for both of them, and she feels it in her chest - warm and sweet and chocolatey, like his eyes. It’s easier this time, talking to him. She spends less time worried about her posture and cadence - more time really listening to him speak and trying her hardest to maintain eye contact. 

The early morning breeze makes ripples on the otherwise still surface of the water. It’s so beautiful. He’s so beautiful. He’s so expressive when he speaks. She used to think he was careless, jumping on tables and riling up the people he knew didn’t like him. Seeing him up close like this, she realizes it’s kind of the opposite. It’s careful, planned, the way he uses his hands, his eyes. Even when he’s talking about a book he's read a million times, she feels like she's there among the scenery and characters he describes. It’s entirely captivating. She wants to be more like him. Carefully carefree. 

She’s never done this kind of thing - the relationship kind of thing. If that’s what this is, she has no idea how to traverse this new terrain. She can’t find her footing, she doesn’t know what the formula is, what the proper way to go about it looks like. She doesn’t think about sounding weird when she asks:

“What are we doing?” 

Eddie pauses mid sip, brings the cup back down to his lap. 

“Currently? Or like, with our lives?” He chuffs out a little laugh. Not in a teasing way, though it's hard for her to differentiate. “Because currently, from my perspective at least, I’m sitting in my van with a pretty girl talking about our favorite books. What I’m doing with my life is something a lot of people, including me, would really like to know.” 

Levity, she recognizes. 

“Sorry if it's a weird question, I just…” She trails off, breaking eye contact, looking at her hands in her lap. He scoots forward a bit, the side of his thigh touching hers as their legs dangle off the back of the van. He doesn’t push her to say anything, doesn’t acknowledge the unneeded apology, doesn’t fill the silence with his own voice.  He just waits, patiently. She doesn’t think she’s ever seen him sit this still. 

“I really like you, and I really like talking to you. I’ve never done anything like this,” She uses her pointer finger to gesture between the two of them, drawing a connecting line between their bodies, “I don’t know how to, if that makes sense. I’m not really a lot of people’s type, I guess.” 

“Hey, look at me,” Eddie sets the cup down next to him and very gently takes her hand, locks their fingers together. When she raises her eyes to meet his, he continues. “There’s no rush, I mean it. You set the pace here, okay? I like you, like a lot. If all you wanna do is sit here and talk, I’m totally fine with that. We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”  

“Yeah?” 

“Yeah, sweets.” 

“What if you find out how weird I am and decide you don’t want to talk to me anymore?” 

At this, Eddie relinquishes his grip on her hand, hops down from the lip of the back of the van, and stands in front of her. 

“Y’know who you’re talking to?” two thumbs pointed towards himself - eyebrows raised, mouth quirked in a goofy grin, “King of the freaks, misfits, and ne'er do wells. I don’t think you could scare me off, but you’re certainly welcome to try.” 

“So just… be myself?” She scrunches her face up - the idea of being genuine is almost totally foreign to her. 

“Be yourself!” 

“Ew. Yeah, alright, fine.” She sighs in resignation and shrugs a shoulder. Doesn’t think about how convincing he is, or how willing she was to drop some of her defenses. Carefully carefree. She can do it. 

They share a laugh, finishing their luke-warm cocoa together and talking until the sun is high in the sky and the temperature rises too high for them to ignore any longer. This time, the drive home is less quiet. She meets his gaze when he looks over at her from the driver’s seat, she hums along to the sound of the radio, it's nice. Comfortable. 

Just like last time, Eddie hastens to run around the van and open her door for her. He extends a hand to help her down and out, and they stay connected on the short journey to her apartment’s front door. Eddie watches while she digs the keys out of her purse, unlocking the door and leading the both of them inside for a drink. He kicks his shoes off by the welcome mat, and they look like they belong there. 

It is the beginning of Spring when Eddie Munson permanently plants himself in her life, a steadfast source of comfort and nourishment. It is hard for her, and it takes longer than most for her to truly open up. To show him all the nooks and crannies of her mind. He takes it all in stride - her overthinking, her quirks and neuroses. He shows her that it is entirely impossible to trust someone enough to take part in the watering and flowering - that it's not a weight she has to hold alone. She can bloom.

STWG daily prompt 12/10/23

prompt: octopus

pairing/character(s): steddie

i love autistic coding my blorbos

-

Steve loves aquariums. Something about just standing there and watching the aquatic life swim around soothes him. He can (and has) watched tanks for hours before. Especially the huge ones with the tunnel going through them; he loves watching the sharks and stingrays swim over him.

It’s something that he’s a little embarrassed about now. He’s sharing his favourite relaxing activity with Eddie for the first time, and he really doesn’t want Eddie to be bored. It’s not technically a date, but they’re there together and they’re holding hands, so Steve’s counting it in his mental list of dates with Eddie Munson.

“You’re not bored are you?” He checks after a few minutes of standing in front of his favourite tank, hands fluttering unsurely at his sides.

He asks because Eddie’s not been looking at the tank. Steve’s felt his eyes on him most of the time they’ve been stood there.

“No, baby.” Eddie promises with a soft chuckle, and Steve drags his eyes away from the creatures to squint at Eddie in confusion. In response, he only gets a fond grin.

“I’m no good at reading between the lines, Eds.” He reminds him, and Eddie nods slowly.

“You like looking at the fish, I like looking at you.” Eddie explains after a moment, cheeks a little pink. Steve feels his own cheeks heat up, and averts his eyes from Eddie to continue looking at the tank.

He spots something coming closer to the glass and gasps, because it’s his favourite. An octopus, who comes right up to the glass and settles right there in Steve’s view. His hands flutter at his sides again, a little more aggressively in his happiness.

“Hey, those are your favourite, right?” Eddie asks, and Steve just nods, refusing to look away from the beautiful creature.

“It’s beautiful.” He says, voice a little breathless.

“You’re beautiful.” Eddie says in response.

Steve’s cheeks heat up again.

Through wars and pain, he stands unbowed, A beast within, both fierce and proud. Yet kindness lingers, soft but strong, In a soul that's wandered far too long.

Through fire and blood, he lost his way, But redemption calls at the break of day. He stands, a man reborn, In a world that’s shattered, bruised, and torn.

[deadwardianpoltergeist]

something that ticks me off is when shows about outcasts and weirdos fall into the hands of the most obnoxious mainstream normies

like, these characters will be super autistic and queer coded and these fans will get so pissed at you for pointing it out

you do shit that the main characters would absolutely do and they lose it

they fangirl over characters like eddie munson and wednesday addams, only to bully people EXACTLY like them

or if the character is noticeably poc(I say noticeably because wednesday addams is hispanic, but passes as white so everyone just ignores it) they absolutely trash on how annoying they are

the owl house fandom gets to me the most, I love that show to death, but GOD that fandom has gotten so unbearable as of late

Luz Noceda is the MAIN CHARACTER the whole narrative follows her. the story is about growing up “cringe”(neurodivergent) and these new owl house fans completely forget it, bullying people about their rarepairs and crossships and headcanons

like? willuz is not hurting anyone, they literally have chemistry, especially in season 1. I have been a fan of this show for YEARS. I LOVE lumity, adore it even, but shipping willuz isn’t being ungrateful or taking away from the representation we have

honestly they get so mad if you ship anything other than raeda and lumity and it’s so exhausting

not to mention there are homophobic and transphobic fans, how tf does that even happen? it’s like TERFS on tumblr, you’ve got the most trans, queer, and neurodiverse base and you pick that to spread your bullshit? how does that even work in their heads 💀

[werewolfnick]

Eddie Munson and his Neurodivergent coding.

So, I kind of want to state something that I have been thinking of since I finished my first uni class of the day (I have two hours to spare and I want to get this out so I am able to focus better on studying). 

I need to say this first, I am in no way the first person to say this. I know I am not the first person to say it. But I want to emphasis this because I feel like some people are just simply not getting it. 

How come when a character is coded to be neurodivergent, like Eddie Munson from Stranger Things, people call him adorable and openly accept his quirks and shit? But when it comes to actual neurodivergent people, we get over looked. Why? Don’t get me wrong, I love Eddie Munson as much as the next person, but how come he gets accepted with open arms by the fandom and I have to feel like I have snap and tell people that I have in fact autistic?

You can’t just accept fictional characters that are coded to be neurodivergent but ignore real people of said neurodivergency. Because believe it or not, being neurodivergent is a real life fucking thing, its not just a thing for the content we consume. And again, believe it or not, I relate to Eddie Munson more than you fucking think. 

Like Eddie, I don’t like plans changing, especially when I have looking forward to said plan. Like Eddie, I have sensory issues. Like Eddie, I have special interests. It’s not just Eddie. It’s Robin too. Like Robin, I hit milestones late. 

“But they’re fictional characters”. So? That doesn’t erase the fact there are in fact REAL people who ARE neurodivergent. Yes, while Eddie and Robin are only CODED to be neurodivergent, it still doesn’t erase that I exist as a neurodiverent person. That some of my friends exist as neurodivergent people. 

If you accept fictional characters like Eddie Munson and Robin Buckley, then you can accept real people who are neurodivergent. Because do you know how fucking annoying it is to tell people and having to constantly fight to get them to understand it? 

Because I can tell you right fucking now, I still have people in my life that excuse things that is under autism simply because I have it “mild”. Or tell me to “stop using it as an excuse” when I am just trying to explain that something is a sensory issue or something else under autism. 

For fuck sake please just treat real life nuerodivergent people like you do with neurodivergent coded fictional characters, with open arms and actually listen to them. Because what you see is media of autismm whether it is said or not, it does not represent everyone under it or not to the full extent.

I saw this tiktok that was talking about how allistic ppl love autistic code characters like Eddie Munson and Wednesday Addams but then mock actual autistic ppl and how this shows that ppl only like as as a concept but not in reality, so basically what we were talking about.

Exactly. Characters are romanticized for being “quirky” and different but when they show actual autistic traits (example Wednesday consistently blowing off Tyler and Xavier for her case) they’re heartless and inhuman. When I show my autistic traits I’m a monster and a psychopath. People need to make up their fucking minds.

Fantastic Four casting is finally out, here's my first impressions.

Reed Richards- Pedro Pascal

I can't believe this casting and also I'm never gonna hear the end of it because Pedro fans are wild. I'm disappointed they didn't cast an autistic man for a character who's so autistic it's barely even coded but I never expected them to even consider that. If they're going to go with an allistic, at least it was Pedro. This casting gives me hope he won't be villainised.

Sue Storm- Vennessa Kirby

She seems fine but I don't really know her so I don't have opinions.

Ben Grimm- Ebon Moss-Bachrach

Literally the first thing I did after this casting was google if he's Jewish and he is, surprisingly enough because the MCU has a bad track record with Jewish characters. And importantly, I also think he can pull off the character. Rare MCU casting W.

Johnny Storm- Joseph Quinn.

I'm so apprehensive about this one, not least because of how the Eddie Munson fans are going to react. He's shown he can play a loveable character, which I hope they play into rather than playing the arrogant playboy angle straight. And he's in the same age range as Tom Holland, which is good because Johnny often gets seen as a grown late 20's adult and Peter gets seem as a forever teen when they're actually the same age in the comics, so maybe this means he's actually going to be aged correctly but IDK.

Overall impressions: An unsure 7/10.

The only character I feel was miscast is Reed because Pedro's not autistic, but like I said, an autistic actor was probably never on the cards. A lot of how good this is going to be is heavily reliant on the script, and I'm not holding my breath for that, but the casting is not actively terrible so I count that as a small victory.
