#clown steve and billy rights

[yourfatherjustinmcelroy]

Billie’s offhand comment in the final episode of season 1 about “clowns aren’t real” is really sticking out to me in light of the season two finale. Because cesare lumping Steve in with other cryptids like mothman and what seems to be a yeti or bigfoot of some kind, as well as Cesare himself being a zombie, makes me wonder if clowns hold a similar cryptid status in bigtop burger universe. Because here in the real world, for someone to be considered a “real clown”, they are a human trained in clowning with clown makeup on. But we don’t call haunted house actors “real zombies” right? Even though they’re trained to act like zombies with zombie makeup on. So clowns seem to be a level of supernatural cryptid that’s on par with zombies, mothman, yeti etc. Which I find to be quite interesting.

That post inspired by the fact that people will call Billy 100% straight to position him as the evil cishet villain in their fanfics while Billy canonically is called a slur by his father and punished for any sign of femininity.

But you can call someone a slur and become a queer icon in this fandom, so I guess that makes his father queer right? It's what makes Steve queer, right, so why not? Absolute bunch of clowns and hypocrites the lot of you.

What kind of music do you think the other Batboys listen to? (If you're interested in them ofc)

okay, first of all this is my first ask!! hello!! and it's about music, so extra bonus points to you!! 🌟

second of all, of course i'm interested in the other batboys! i'm working on their spotify wrappeds right now. for anyone’s who interested, here is my spotify!!

these are what i personally think each of them lean towards music wise based on canon and my own headcanons, please don’t stomp on me if you disagree :-)

Dick listens to clown music i really only found one panel of Dick listening to music and it was mostly Original Pilipino Music and mostly ballads, which i love. it also lends itself to Dick being a fan of indie and soft rock, as well very much being a child of the 90s. The Cure and Billy Joel are artists i see him enjoying. i know a lot of people envision him as a pop fan and i think he specifically listens to early rock-pop music from the 70s; think ABBA, the Carpenters, Donna Summer, artists who would mix well with his affection for balladeers. My self indulgent headcanon is that he's a huge Fleetwood Mac and Mavis Staples fan. i think it's a legal obligation to have an appreciation for grunge to be part of the batfam, but i think he sticks with the basics.

Jason canonically likes Slipknot, Lacuna Coil and Poison Idea (which i forgot to include on his spotify wrapped, oops). however, given his background, his continued interest in being connected to the streets of a large east coast city and the fact that we know he loves good writing, he's definitely a 90s east coast hip-hop guy. i really envision him being a huge Wu-Tang Clan fan (as we should all be) and DMX wrote his theme song Where The Hood At. both the metal/punk and hip-hop genres have heavily political roots and the flaws of political systems are a common theme, which is something he’d appreciate. however, i think Jason's criteria for adding a song to his spotify is if it's good. he's not a snob, he just likes his music to be loud and have good lyricism. he likes to be able to relate to it, whereas Dick would be more about the vibe. i love the idea that he's into Jack Johnson when he wants a softer sound. he also gives me major Artic Monkeys vibes.

Tim canonically likes The Clash, Green Day (i think this is another one they all have in common) and i believe Oasis. so one could comfortably deduce that he's into punk rock, early alternative and brit pop (which makes sense, these all tend to go hand-in-hand). i think he would be fond of alternative and indie, like i think he would dig Steve Lacy and Frank Ocean (he's also a bisexual man in his late teens/early twenties who's heavily online, so i feel like it's also a fairly safe bet that he listens to Frank and probably Tyler too). i think he goes through strong phases of certain artists/genres. i think, like Jason, he likes to be able to relate to his music, but he’s also a bit of a music snob.

Steph's most streamed artist is Mucous Membrane. i get strong punk rock, punk pop vibes from her. she likes anything she can scream along to. My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Avril Lavigne, Pierce The Veil, Hollywood Undead. she definitely had a very strong Panic! At The Disco era. she's got a soft spot for Megadeath too. but i think she’s also more than capable (and willing) to scream along to some bubbly pop music too.

Duke has been seen singing The Man on The Flying Trapeze by Spike Jones. granted, this is a fairly well known song and it had a specific context, but i also kind of love the idea that Duke listens to jazz, like also has a lot of Chet Baker and Billie Holiday saved. that’s his time-to-lock-in music. then i could also see him digging a genre that samples a lot of these artists, like r&b and hip-hop. i see Kendrick Lamar pop up on a lot of Duke playlists and i’m inclined to agree. i’d also add Jay-Z to the mix. a good chunk of his spotify wrapped is stuff he plays to get hyped up, which can vary quite a bit. there’s some Fall Out Boy, Chase Atlantic, Rihanna and some classic rock. i think he also daydreams to Holding Out for A Hero quite a bit as well.

honestly, i feel like Cass pulls the most from everyone else’s playlists. i would say that she’s family spotify stalker, but frankly i feel like she uses youtube music. anyways, her personal tastes would lean more towards the sad girl side; Halsey, Mitski, Phoebe Bridgers, Mazzy Star. maybe Penelope Scott and Grimes - i could see her vibing with the combination of the sad girl feel and a unique sort of sound. thanks to Jason, she also digs System of A Down. for Cass especially music is an emotional outlet, so i think she’d be drawn to more emotional stuff. that said, she’s definitely an ABBA girl.

i see people try to argue that Jason would listen to musicals, but if anyone is the secret theater kid, it’s for sure Damian. he likes the drama and the flair of a megamusical and as such, a couple of songs from The Phantom of The Opera make their way onto his playlist (he secretly relates to certain aspects of the storyline but he won’t say that part out loud). he’s a musician himself so it’s not hard to imagine him enjoying someone as genius as Sondheim, although i imagine he’s very picky about which cast albums/recordings he spins. he listens to a lot of classic music, with a special appreciation for Bach as he’s more or less the violin king. but Beethoven’s got a little more flair. i think he also has a playlist of songs he picked up from his siblings and Superboy

i think they all share an appreciation for Nirvana, The Pixies, The Spice Girls and A Tribe Called Quest.

and i do think The Spice Girls comes strongly from Dick’s influence.

what do y’all think they listen to?

[scoops-aboy86]

I imagine that if Eddie could do magic, he would (as a young teen and therefore a dumbass with a poor grasp of the possible repercussions) try to cast a love spell to make Steve fall in love with him. It's the start of his sophomore year; Steve is just an incoming freshman who no one's really noticed yet, but Eddie is instantly smitten with the impeccable hair, the soulful hazel eyes, and that cute dazed look on his face he gets whenever surprised.

Does he dare even try to talk to Steve? No. Eddie already has zero social standing as a weird nerd who lives in a trailer park and Cannot Sit Still to save his life—which on other people would make them funny class clown material, but for some reason on him makes teachers angry and classmates roll their eyes. Just talking to Steve, Eddie is sure, would be a disaster. And even if he could, chances are Steve is straight and at best Eddie would eventually get punched in the face for admitting his feelings for the other boy.

So. Witchcraft. Chant chant chant, a possession of Steve's dropped in a bubbling cauldron, a blown out candle, and boom.

Only Eddie muffed the spell. Instead of Steve falling in love with Eddie, everyone falls in love with Steve. The spell isn't even strong enough to cause obvious problems; all the girls want him, all the boys want to be him, but there aren't, like, mobs forming over the guy's affection (or lack thereof). Eddie resigns himself to (a) being shitty at magic and (b) never getting Steve.

From Steve's perspective, his whole life changed overnight. Suddenly he's on the map at Hawkins High in a big way. He makes varsity basketball as a freshman, and at the same time is allowed to join the swim team despite the conflicting schedules. Girls are falling over themselves to go out with him. And it's great!

For a while. In some ways.

It gets him his parents' approval right up until November of 1983, when he starts to realize that maybe he hasn't really learned how to build a real relationship with someone, because all he knows is dates falling into his lap and girls looking for the social status that comes with bagging King Steve. That prowess on the basketball court doesn't mean very much when monsters crawl out of the walls and all he has to hand is a baseball bat full of nails. That a girl died in his pool because of a party he threw and him and his friends doing stupid teen shit like shotgunning beers. That the friends he's had since he became King Steve are, actually, pretty much all assholes.

After that first brush with the Upside Down, Steve stops trying to be popular. He stops throwing house parties, drops swimming, stops funding the basketball team's beer and weed purchases, and really tries (with Nancy's help) to buckle down and study.

But the spell is still in effect, so even with all that, everyone still wants a piece of him. He still goes to parties, and whenever Nancy isn't free to tag along there are always girls trying to hang off him, no matter how many times he reminds them that he's already seeing someone. Eventually he gives up, and while he doesn't cheat (he might have dated around a lot, but never with overlap; he is not his dad) he stops putting in the effort to shoo them away.

(Eddie, meanwhile, watches all of this from the sidelines and kind of hates the person he thinks Steve is now. He's not entirely wrong, because the popularity did go to Steve's head for a long time, and there are plenty of ways in which Steve's really isn't a better person for it. But Eddie also isn't close enough to see who he's trying to become now, and he's also still a little bitter in nursing his own bruised heart.)

After breaking up with Nancy and falling in with the Party, Steve starts to get even more frustrated with his lingering popularity. The rest of his senior year is still all girls fawning over him and guys being jealous (sometimes with a nasty edge to it now, like Tommy and Billy). On top of the nightmares left over from encounters with demogorogons and demodogs, it really brings out Steve's bitchy side. He stops dating, stops going to parties, stops trying to achieve in his classes in favor of coasting (and hating that all his teachers let him do it, while picking on kids like Eddie who are actively trying and just not very good at it).

One day, Eddie finds King Steve at the picnic table in the woods, looking to buy weed. Steve doesn't bat an eye when super-senior Munson names his price (double what he usually charges, but it's not like Steve has ever bought directly from anyone before so it's not like he'd know), and says that if it helps him sleep he'll start buying regularly.

Suddenly, Steve is in a slightly better mood at school all the time. He still brushes pretty much everyone off and only hangs out with middle schoolers, but he's nicer about it.

And he starts going to parties again. But he doesn't dance, and he doesn't drink all that much. A lot of the time he doesn't even stick around very long. He'll turn up and people watch, bopping his head in time with the music if it's a song he likes, and park himself by whatever food the party has to offer. Chips, popcorn, the occasional pizza—nothing extensive, most of the kids who come to these parties are there for the booze and the makeout opportunities. Sometimes Steve buys from Eddie if he's there, offers to share joints with him that Eddie, still wary, turns down. When the food runs out, Steve leaves.

See, the weed definitely helps him sleep. It also gives him the munchies, and Steve has sort of gotten into the habit of just... eating. It's not like his parents are around to notice, and Dustin and the other kids don't care as long as he springs for extras so they can have some too. No one at school would dare say it to his face, and somehow it still doesn't manage to fully tank his slightly flagging reputation, but Steve is definitely starting to put on weight.

Then he graduates, and... nothing. King Steve drops off the map.

For everyone except Eddie, anyway, because Steve still buys. And Eddie has started to relax his no-smoking-with-Steve policy lately. Between the weed and the public eye no longer pinning him in a spotlight, Steve has become an incredibly chill dude. He doesn't even mind that he didn't get into any of the colleges he applied to (or any of the ones his parents insisted he applied to either, but that's a more clear-cut relief), something he confides in Eddie around the time they start hanging out outside of sales because his dad is demanding that he get a summer job. Pros include more money for weed (although Eddie has relaxed his prices as well), but cons include less free time. Steve says Eddie can visit him at work though, and he'll hook him up with freebies and discounts.

Visiting Steve at his Scoops Ahoy job is both a visual treat for Eddie and how he finds out that he's basically Steve's only friend his own age. Those shorts, man, and even with the extra weight Eddie still thinks Steve looks great. Everything that first attracted him to Steve (the eyes, the slightly comical dopiness, and the hair, regardless of the little sailor's hat) is still there, plus big hands, broad shoulders, an endearing grin, and just... Steve.

Maybe, Eddie realizes, if he'd never done that spell at all, he could have gotten to know Steve like this years ago. He never feels like Steve's last choice when they spend time together, and definitely doesn't mind that Steve seems to forget how much space he takes up these days and always sits a little too close, whether it's on the picnic table bench or on the couch at Eddie's trailer or in a Scoops booth. Steve is goofy and sweet and a little lame, but he brings his own snacks and lets Eddie talk straight through the Star War movies and the animated Lord of the Rings film, reeling off every bit of trivia and his own personal opinions he can. Every now and then, Steve even goes out of his way to ask questions about d&d and listens to the answers.

Forget smitten, Eddie Munson is in love.

(7/15) “Summer, Highland Falls. One of, if not the best, Billy Joel songs. Lyrically and musically. The left hand goes down the keys, playing the sad notes. The right hand goes up, playing the happy notes. There’s a point in the song where he says: ‘It’s either sadness or euphoria.’ And that’s me. That’s always been me. Tabatha calls me the sad clown. I hit a rough patch after Jack was born. Here was the thing that I’d always wanted; and there’s a cloud over me. I was filled with anxiety; I couldn’t shake it. At work I’d crawl into the closet with my walkie talkie, just to be alone. On the subway ride home I’d pull my hat over my eyes. As soon as I walked in the apartment I’d head straight to Jack’s room. I’d lay on the floor while he was napping. It calmed me down. Just to be near him. My beautiful, baby boy. He couldn’t sleep at night unless I was in the crib with him. After thirty minutes I’d try to sneak out. But his little hand would come up, and tug on my shirt. And it was back in the crib for me. Tabatha would come in at 4 AM to wake me up for work. I never wanted to miss a single moment. I’d take him to get the oil changed. I’d bundle him up, just to take him down the block. We still gathered at my mother’s house every Thanksgiving, Anthony, Steve, all the nieces and nephews, and we’d choose a day to see Santa. Same thing every year. We’d always meet at the top of the escalators. But the year that Jack turned three, something strange happened. We were winding through the maze when an elf came bounding up to us. I recognized her; she worked with me at the toy store. She leaned in close, and said: ‘Hi Johnny! Come work with us.’ I laughed. I was thirty-eight at the time. Way too old to be an elf. But too young to be Santa. I didn’t even consider it. But six months later Tony and Tina’s Wedding gets cancelled. And the very same week I get an email from Macy’s, requesting applications for the holiday season. I’m thinking: this is crazy. I’m too young. Too skinny. And way to Italian. But when they called me in for an interview, the first question they asked was: ‘Why do you love Christmas?’ I looked down at my watch, and said: ‘How much time do you have?’”

Another small part two for @wrecked-fuse ‘s pocketverse ~

Part 1 here ~

(also I’m putting these on ao3 so they’re easy to find.)

🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹

Steve never expected to be in a doll boutique, but his latest, high maintenance residents refused the stiff, itchy clothes that came on commercial dolls. So now he walked around with the two little ones hitching a ride in his shirt pocket. 

It was odd, shopping for tiny and overpriced linen and stretchy knit fabrics. But clothes were clothes, and he kept looking around to make sure onlookers wouldn’t spot the tiny people in his pocket.

“See anything you like?” he whispered, but the replies were not helpful.

“Biwwy, is it scarwy in here?”

“The cwreeps aren’t wreal. But we’wre not tall enough for this.”

He had a point, there. These dolls were simply too big. Steve pivoted toward a section of the store which would arguably be worse: the porcelain harlequin section. But this boutique was organized by doll size, and unfortunately more clothing options went on larger dolls...

Steve sent a harmless smile to the shopkeeper, who eyeballed him suspiciously. His jacket easily covered small Billy and Steve, but their voices were not so easy to mask. Steve hoped the visible ear buds and cord hanging around his face would make anyone think the voices were from the radio.

“What the hell, Steve?”

He sighed. “Ignore the clowns. What about these overalls?”

“How do we piss in overwalls?” Billy retorted.

Steve sighed and continued along the shelves. “How about Grease lightning over here?”

“YEAH!”

“Shhhhhh, sh,” Steve panicked. “Quiet, all right? The owner already thinks I’m going to steal something.”

“Sounds fun,” Billy declared, wiggling in the pocket to get out.

Steve hastily cupped his hands around his shirtfront to catch the daredevils climbing - naked - from his pocket. He set them gently on the shelf and thankfully still had his hands up to catch the doll little Steve promptly knocked over. “Hold ‘im, Steve! I’ll get ‘is pants!”

“Guys, I can just buy the dolls and you can get dressed in the car.”

Tiny Steve paused to give that some thought, where as Billy had already removed a faux leather jacket and put it around his body. “This smells cheap.”

“It’s not real leather. Real would be too stiff with all the stitching. Is it comfy or not?”

“No,” Billy disregarded, throwing the jacket down. Then he pointed past Steve’s shoulder. “I want him.”

He glanced nervously at the shelf behind him, only to lift his eyebrows with relief. “Oh. Fighter pilot, huh?”

He brought the doll over, complete with tiny aviator sunglasses and...real rabbit fur on the bomber jacket collar. Steve groaned inwardly, Mom’s going to kill me.

But Billy’s little mouth dropped into an O of wonder when he touched the jacket. He couldn’t be bothered to take it off the doll, he just hugged the porcelain pilot tight, burying his face in the fur. “This one!”

“Okay, B. Back into the pocket. We gotta pay for it first. Steve? How you doin’?”

“I want this one,” his voice called, and Steve felt a spear of panic in his chest because he couldn’t see him. Then, right out of a horror movie, a doll shuffled across the shelf, knocking others out of the way as little Steve pushed its standing pedestal to the front.

The doll was another Grease model, but it was Danny from the beach scenes in the beginning: light blue jeans, white t-shirt, and pastel blue collared shirt.

From big Steve’s pocket, Billy critiqued, “The other one’s cooler.”

“Hey,” Steve chided softly. “You got the one you wanted. He can have the one he likes.” Then he added to little Steve as he took the doll and offered his other hand to magic carpet him back to his shirt pocket. “I think you have excellent taste.”

“Thank you, Stewie,” he sang, landing in the pocket with a solid tug on his shirt fibers.

Steve took a deep breath, his heart doing that painful pinch again. He tried to hang the discarded jacket on its doll’s shoulder before leaving, and made sure his own jacket hung over his pockets. “Miss? Do I bring the ones I want to the front or do you get them?”

The shopkeeper got a flash in her eye at the use of Miss instead of Ma’am, and came around to assist him. It didn’t get him a discount, though.

[qprstobin]

"there's no evidence that tommy and carol bullied anyone" so publicly humiliating nancy by spray painting nancy the slut wheeler on the hawk sign was just what. because steve implied that was their idea and they did it. you don't just go from never bullying anyone to doing some real diabolical shit like that so. sure steve never bullied anyone but you're reaching trying to extend that to tommy especially. don't forget how easily he got chummy with the racist the following season and joined in gleefully bullying steve

I'm not excusing the graffiti, but I don't think spray painting the slut graffiti as revenge because they (wrongly) thought Nancy cheated on Steve makes it bullying lmao. Bullying is repeated and targeted. One instance is not bullying. I also think "diabolical" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Like what they did was cruel, but diabolical? Graffiti and spreading rumors is like the most typical "get revenge on your/your friend's shitty ex" thing you could do, they just did it in public instead of like the school bathroom. Public shaming for cheating is SUCH a common trope, like do you know how often I see that "WELCOME HOME CHEATER" meme? I'm not saying that makes it right, because it doesn't! But it also doesn't make them evil?

Like I never said that Tommy and Carol are nice lol. They're asshole teenagers! That's canon! Steve calls them out on that and breaks ties with them because of it! But being a dick teenager does not make you a bully, all teenagers are dicks lol.

I also think interpreting Tommy's scenes with Billy as that is in bad faith personally. Homeboy is in like two scenes with Billy - one where Tommy is clearly trying to make Steve jealous, and the other where he is making fun of Steve for his gf once again supposedly cheating on him. The gf that Steve dumped his friends for, after she supposedly cheated on him the first time.

And yeah Billy is racist but y'all are acting like? Everyone in the show should automatically know that? How? The racist shit Billy says on screen is mainly to Max, and later in the show where he actually attacks Lucas. There's a good chance that Steve didn't even realize that Billy's attack on the kids was racially motivated until after the fact.

Considering that Billy literally doesn't interact with anyone but his coworkers and Karen in s3, and the fact that Tommy does not actually seem to like violence that much or at least seems to have a limit! Considering how he reacted to the fight in s1 (going from "hell yeah a fight to oh fuck shit is serious"), I don't think Tommy stayed friends with Billy after season 2 lmao. Like idk I did not get the impression that Billy had any friends in s3.

You're accusing me of reaching but saying stuff like "no one goes from never bullying anyone to something that diabolical" isn't? My whole point has always been that he may be a dick, but there's nothing to show him being anything other than a stereotypical class clown type douchebag lol. The Party's fucking bullies threatened them at knife point. Billy bashes a plate over Steve's head and tries to run the kids off the fucking road with his car. The Angela storyline was so extreme that it was unrealistic and is almost an universally hated part of the season. Tommy makes some mean comments, gives Barb a wet willy, and then rubs it in his ex best friend's face that someone has taken his place and that his gf is cheating on him. Like, the graffiti was bad and Nancy should've probably slapped all three of them not just Steve, but it was a petty and misguided revenge scheme, not bullying.

I think if Tommy was intended to be an actual bully the way fandom pretends he is, we would've seen more of it on screen. If Tommy and Carol were so cruel to the whole school, Robin and Eddie would've said something about it? But they don't! The Duffers are SO blatant about how they go about things, I think if they were truly meant to be bullies, they would've been way more obvious about it lmao.

Like, think what you want! If you wanna headcanon them as being an actual bullies, that's your prerogative. But it's not actually canon.

Happy Halloween/Day After!

--

Heather perched on the bed, slowly pulling out piece after piece of candy from the bag besides her, popping them in her mouth. She was staring right at her girlfriends, Chrissy sitting in Robin's lap as she applied her makeup for her, Robin's lips and eyelids pink. They were all going as Pokemon, an idea thrust forth by one of the kids that always seemed to be lurking around Steve at any given point in time. The kids would then be Team Rocket, with Dustin as Ash Ketchum solely because he wears a hat all the time.

It took some convincing, but then Chrissy thought it was sweet so of course Heather was doing it, and Robin was already about to do it because Steve can never say no to the twerps. They didn't need the supervision either it sounded like, it was just to 'make the group costume look even better'.

Heather was already dressed up, wearing a brown sweater over a cream dress, her hair done up as usual. Her hands were covered by brown leather gloves, which she stole from Billy with permission. Attached to her was a cape as well, handmade by Eddie of all people, to act as the fox tails.

Chrissy hadn't changed yet, but her costume was sitting right besides Heather, a dress that Chrissy affectionally referred to her as her chocolate strawberry dress and a white headband with little pink and white butterflies on both sides of her head. Her gloves, also brown but went up to her elbows, were currently being fussed with by Robin, the fabric wrapped around her wrist at the moment.

Robin hops up the moment Chrissy slides off her, moving to look at herself in the mirror. Chrissy did a great job, Robin blushing red when she spotted the little black music notes drawn next to her left eye. She turns, chin ducking into the white ruff around her neck. "I look both great and also like a total absolute doofus. You sure I need this?" She tugs at the collar.

Chrissy nods, already slipping out of her pyjama pants to pull on the brown tights for her costume. "That's what the book showed! You look great Robin!"

Heather nods in agreement, Robin still fussing with the thing.

"I feel like a clown."

"If you're a clown you're the cutest clown I've ever seen," Heather says, unwrapping one of the individually wrapped gummies and tossing it into her mouth. She smirks when Robin just sputters, smile playing at the teen's lips.

Chrissy giggles, her head hidden in the dress as she pulls the fabric over. "You would make the cutest clown ever though, Robin! Oh! You could be the clown that toots a little horn!"

"I can't believe my own girlfriends, loves of my lives in a romantic setting, are calling me a clown."

Heather raises a finger. "Hey, cute clown. Don't misquote us."

Once Chrissy was dressed they headed out of Heather's house. Steve's car was parked outside, Robin's ride to Heather's place. They would drive all the way to the Wheeler's to meet up with the kids, and then go from there. Steve waves at them from where he was sitting on the hood, the guy dressed in a brown sweater with a fluffy beige scarf wrapped around his neck, with a massive brown tail sticking out from behind him. Robin wastes zero time stealing the passenger seat, leaving Chrissy and Heather to sit in the back.

"Looking great, Steve." Heather slaps a hand on his shoulder as he slides into the drivers, Steve adjusting the headband on his head with the ears as it nudges against the roof of the car.

"Yeah well. Least I didn't almost get orphan dinosaur."

Heather squints. "Orphan what?"

Steve pulls out of Heather's driveway. "Mike said Billy should be the... Cub Bone? Or something. Because his parents up and left him so he's an orphan. Then Max pushed him."

"Go Max."

"I know right? But anyways Billy's something else now. Upgrades."

Steve takes a turn, then pulls up to the Wheeler's. They could all see the kids already waiting outside, Dustin walking up to Steve's window and knocking on it. Steve rolls his eyes before rolling down the window, Dustin sticking his head in.

"Took you long enough! Come on, we need the whole team!"

"Hold on a second I didn't even turn the car off geez-" Steve switches the engine off, the girls climbing out. Steve had to wait until Dustin backed away from the door before he could exit.

Heather's eyes scanned the group. The kids all were wearing very similar outfits, save for El and Max, who were in white instead of black, Max's hair dyed a pink shade while Jane had a blue wig slapped on her head. Under Jane's arm was a cat doll with a yellow oval taped to its head. Billy was leaning against the house, cigarette between his lips. He looked like he always does, save for the blue mouse ears on his head and the cape pinned to his back, the inside white and the outside a blue shade. As Heather got closer she realised his face was smeared the same blue, his forehead hair curl also blue. Billy's eyes focuses on her immediately. He curls his lips at her, winking and pushing off the house to walk over.

"Looking good, Heath."

"I would say you too, but you still look like you put in no effort."

Billy shrugs. "My looks are effortless."

Heather rolls her eyes, but it's playful. "Uh huh. And where's dumbass number three?"

Billy jerks a head towards the door, Eddie popping out of it looking like a demon. It was obvious he put a lot more thought into it, horns on his head and face painted black and orange. His jacket was just as black, with white 'bone' wrapped around the collar and a skull necklace. Heather could see a devil tail dragging behind him, Eddie skipping over to the group.

"Alright, the bladder demon has been eviscerated!" Eddie chirps, followed by the echoing groans from the kids and Steve. "Oh, hi Heather, love your Vulpix costume!"

"Is that what this is? Well, thanks Munson."

Eddie grinned with sharper teeth than usual, bowing ever so dramatically and waltzing over to the kids. "Alright! Who is ready to steal sweets from the unfortunate and bountiful!"

The group coalesce with cheers from the boys, but only so they could all move as one down the street to begin trick or treating. Of course the kids led, not that the older teens brought any sort of collection bag.

"So where's Nancy and Jonathan?" Robin asked a few minutes in as they waited on the sidewalk for the kids to collect their candy.

"Jonathan's home with Ms. Byers. Nancy went with Barb. Left Stevie here in charge of the Party." Eddie gestures to Steve, slapping a hand on his shoulder. Steve turns his head and shrugs.

"Always the babysitter, every single time."

"And you're doing a swell job, big boy." Eddie pats his shoulder a few more times.

"Steeeeve, they made us only take one! And they're only the snack sizes too! This is a scam! A scam I say!" Dustin shouts as he strides down the driveway shaking his bag. Erica looked equally as offended, still glaring at the house as the kids move as one to the next house.

"Well, maybe the next house will be better. If you're just gonna complain I might make Billy take a candy tax for it."

"He better not!"

Billy, ever the menace, just stalks closer silently, Dustin quickly moving away from him. "Hey! I won this fair and square! Stop!!"

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! #4: “Salame” (aka “Sitcom”) | March 4, 2007 - 11:45PM | S01E04

This one starts off with a true classic, Steve Mahanahan’s Child Clown Outlet, though this bit gets them in trouble these days by conspiracy theorists who believe that it’s a sly reference to real-life secret activities by Hollywood sickos. I don’t think that was the intent. This is later given a little sequel with Mike Mahanahan’s Child Clown Shoe’s Outlet. Tim gets a dumb haircut just for this bit, and that behind-the-scenes footage winds up being the “great job” card, but changed to “Salame” instead.

The hosting bit is pretty bare bones. It’s a simple, undersold premise that Eric has created the entire show himself on VHS. This also includes a brief outtake-seeming bit of footage where somebody seems to be angrily laying down the law to Tim and Eric. “I’ve said my piece, I’ll leave these on your desk” says the disembodied voice. Tim and Eric start harmonizing their response of “fair enough”. Hilarious. This segues into David Liebe Hart’s first segment on the show (previously seen in promos for the series premiere), where he sings about an alien race and their customs with a strange orange cat puppet on his knee. He’s not very good at ventriloquism, in fact he’s not even making an effort at ventriloquism. David Liebe Hart is a Los Angeles area public access television personality. His show The Junior Christian Teaching Bible Lesson Program has been on since, I don’t know when, but at least the 90s. I believe he usually acts as a puppeteer and not a ventriloquist on that show. Could it be that Tim and Eric cruelly promised to simply not film his face while doing the puppet’s voices? Who can say. 

David is an interesting character. He has been kicking around Hollywood since the 70s at least, and you can see him in the background of select episodes of sitcoms and the like (A Good Times background role can be seen here). He sincerely believes he’s been abducted by aliens, and is a devout Christian Scientist. He also likes to tour with a live “comedy” show. A friend of mine opened for him once, and he told me DLH vomited loudly in some outdoor seating area of the venue and then used the first part of his act to rage against the kitchen for poisoning him, claiming the food made him “spit up”. He also likes to claim that Tim & Eric are satanic pedophiles. I once heard an audio recording of one of these shows and it was genuinely troubling. I could barely follow what DLH was even saying.

This same friend called Tim during his internet show Office Hours, and reported this information of DLH making wild claims about him and Eric. Tim already knew about it, and was just sorta like “eh what can you do?” This was before the more recent attempt by right-wingers to do exactly the same thing. Oh yeah, before I forget: DLH is on the commentary track for this episode on DVD, and it’s good. 

This episode also has “Here She Comes”, where Weird Al (as Simon) escorts several dolled-up but nervous-looking elderly women to Tim & Eric. Tim & Eric are playing two straight-laced/evangelical-looking church men with long microphones and menacing auras. They whisper-speak the phrase “here she comes” as each woman is presented to them. Eventually Bob Odenkirk pops up from behind a podium to sing the “Here She Comes” song. They pick one and sing to her and make sort-of kissing smacks next to her head. It’s a very scary sketch. And… I like it.

“Making It” In Hollywood features an introduction from Billy Crystals, Awesome Show’s first foray into weaving gold from bad celebrity impersonators. The meat of the sketch is clips from a VHS series that teaches you how to make it in Hollywood, taught by Tim & Eric. Eric makes kissy faces at a beautiful woman in the class. Turns out she was TOO beautiful, because Tim Heidecker wound up MARRYING HER!! THIS IS WHERE THEY MET! ISN’T TRUE LOVE GRAND?? As for the sketch, this is pretty mid, and the humor is more on the conventional side. It’s still Tim & Eric though, so of course it ends with Tim & Eric bowing over and over while footage of DLH and his gross puppet fade over it, also bowing. 

Uncle Muscles presents Casey and His Brother with “Cops and Robbers”. DLH noted on the commentary that Tim & Eric are the first comedians to make fun of special education people. Tim and Eric give him a little pushback on both points of 1) no they weren’t and 2) Casey and his brother aren’t uh… uuuuhhhhh…. Hmm.

Pretty great, well-rounded episode, all things considered. So far the series has has very few weak spots. Season one MAY be perfect?

What da fuq

I think you are making some of these mailbags up because some of your messages are just so crazy. Are you trying to get a show on Adult Swim called, "My Crazy Mailbag". It might just work!

I don’t make anything up, ever. I always tell the truth. The truth is - you stink. Just kidding. You don’t stink, and I like you

2023 is almost here. They say odd number years tend to be more soul-bearing than even ones. Although our calendar year system is a made up construct whose to say what year it truly is? Laugh out loud! Anywhoozle, any words of wisdom for Adult Swim fans about the future of this programming block in the coming year?

I think there needs to be more leftist causes being addressed on the air and less joking around.

What's the last thing you saw on TV that made you jump up for joy?

How cursed do you want your asks to be?

Steve as a child just obsessed with clowns. Not in the horror fascination way, not in the "I'm scared of clowns" way, he just. Really likes clowns? Thinks they're funky. So when he was a kid he'd CONSTANTLY be dressing as a clown, begging his mum to put the face paint on him, otherwise it wasn't complete!

Obsessed with clowns in the weird rich kid way, with clown pictures hanging in his room, circus themed decor, multiple clown fancy dress outfits, a.... Clownsona.... If you will....

His parents (more his mum) thought it was abosutely adorable her son had this weird fascination, made him special. She's forever bringing out the photo albums of him as a child whenever she sees one of Steve's friends for like, the second time, because that's the ideal time for the childhood pictures of course. Steve cringes now at what a weird kid he was, desperately trying to forget the weird things he did in the name of clowns. (but he still secretly likes clowns, but now pretends he thinks they're awesome horror movie villains or something)

Anyways is that wholesome or cursed? I certainly don't know

mhm mhm. on his fourth birthday, he has one of those party clowns, making balloon animals, doing magic tricks, wearing funky clothes. and thats when the obsession starts.

he starts dressing up as a clown every year for halloween, cute little polka-dot pants, big shoes, face paint, wig, and the red nose. and when being a ‘cute’ clown stopped being cool, he’d started dressing as the scary ones. darker outfits, but just as funky.

his mom thought it was cute, and constantly got him those little vintage clown post-cards whenever she was away from home. and with the bunch of pictures she took of steve as a clown, she had a whole photo album by the time he was 19. he was basically a clown every year for halloween. (but he wore clown outfits regardless if it was halloween or not as a child sometimes)

he buries that part of his childhood deep though. yeah, he still likes clowns, but he won’t let anyone know. absolutely not. but then he and billy become friends, maybe something more, and billy’s at his house. his mom pulls out the treasured photo album and she makes billy sit down and they go through each and every one of the pictures.

steve just turns red- he’s ready to die right then and there.

billy’s laughing, his mom is obsessing over the pictures that she’s seen a million times already, “this ones pretty funny, little man would walk around in that wig for days!”

(cue steve screaming into a pillow while billy just laughs at him)

“oh! he had clown underwear too! I would show you a picture but-“

“no thanks mom!” steve interrupts tugging billy into his room and away from her, “I’m pretty sure billy doesn’t want to see that.”

“dude, I wanted to see,” billy says with a smirk that would haunt steve’s dreams for years to come.

“fuck you.”

-

im gonna turn this soft (but still slightly cursed) for a second. imagine,,,, billy starts sending steve clown post cards all the way from california because he knows steve secretly likes clowns. and steve keeps each and every one of them.

but also im cackling at the thought of billy giving steve something like this or this bjssjshgduwgi

-

anyway. back to cursed.

-

steve: i loved clowns as a kid

billy the next day:

no but seriously. billy is the biggest clown and steve will fall for him.

-

im sorry- send me cursed asks

[urdreamgirls-dreamgirl]

Yes, I agree! Of the older kids, Steve is the only one we actually see being actively bullied without provocation throughout the course of the show—by Billy, who is outwardly violent and antagonistic towards him on multiple occasions throughout season 2. The Duffers frame Eddie, Robin, and Jonathan all as “outsiders” but none of them are bullied extensively on screen (you could argue that Eddie is bullied by Jason (and I’m exclusively talking abt everything PRIOR to Spring Break when all the evidence is stacked against Eddie and we as the audience are obviously aware that Eddie didn’t kill Chrissy, but to the characters on screen it seems that what happened in the trailer was pretty straightforward) but, again, we see Jason reacting to Eddie being openly antagonistic in his first scene to not only the popular jocks, but literally almost everyone in that lunch room regardless of clique). Until Chrissy’s death, Jason does not initiate anything against Eddie (granted we’re with these characters for a limited amount of time before shit really starts to go down in ST4 but still—there’s some interesting exploration to be done of Eddie’s outward rejection of everyone perhaps before they can reject him, but he doesn’t read on screen as someone who’s being actively bullied at school). It seems more likely that people think he’s fucking weird and strange and annoying and probably just steer clear from what we see in the lunch room (they’re mostly actively ignoring him in that scene). People do seem to think Jonathan is weird in season 1 (are there extras that make fun of Jonathan for his brother missing?? I can’t remember). Steve DOES call Jonathan a slur right before they get physical with each other in season 1, but it seems relatively clear that he’s hurt by Nancy and Jonathan’s actions and seemingly having it confirmed that Nancy’s two-timing him and so he says the most deeply hurtful things he can think of in the moment (he doesn’t know abt the Upside Down at this point and ONLY knows abt Barb going missing from his backyard the same night Jonathan was lurking in the bushes and taking compromising photos of both Nancy AND Steve). We see on screen that he almost immediately feels remorse for the altercation and attempts to make amends with Jonathan after cleaning the graffiti off the theater, which is the entire reason he even ends up fighting the demogorgon at the Byers house. As far as we know from the show, he stops talking to Tommy and Carol right then for making fun of Nancy and Jonathan afterwards.

In terms of Robin, she describes Steve as essentially a class clown who is somewhat disruptive during their shared class, but like I said in the other post, it seems his biggest crime here is asking stupid questions, being messy, and not noticing a girl a grade below him. In the show, Robin would’ve been a sophomore and Steve would’ve been a junior when they had that class together (I think that’s what she says in the bathroom), the same year that he has his first experience with the Upside Down, so it’s understandable that he might not notice everyone at school. Also, Nancy is the same year as Robin and also doesn’t recognize her at Starcourt in ST3.

I get that the fandom wants to attempt to integrate Eddie into the dynamics of Hawkins prior to ST4, but I feel like there are better ways to do it than making Steve a malicious bully towards Eddie. It seems like a disservice to the characters and their relationship to each other imo, but that’s just me. I know some people like that dynamic and I’ve kind of grown used to it in fanfic so I’m fine with it now, but idk. It’s just not my favorite trope lol

Controversial take but follow up to that Steve post reblog: I also genuinely dislike the way the fandom writes abt Steve bullying Eddie in fanfiction (it’s become so ubiquitous that you kinda have to just suck it up and deal w it at this point). There’s NO canon evidence that Steve has ever bullied Eddie. Besides Jason, almost everyone basically ignores Eddie when he’s giving his antagonistic speech in the cafeteria and when Chrissy meets with him in the woods, she implies she thinks he’ll be “mean and scary” which doesn’t equate to someone who’s actively being bullied at school if people genuinely think that abt him. Yes, there’s the Satanic panic undertones from DND that he’s making fun of when he’s introduced, but we don’t really see any of that play out on screen prior to Chrissy going to the trailer (by which I mean, there’s also no evidence that Eddie’s being harassed at school outside of his antagonistic lunch rants, which we know are the norm from the way Mike and Dustin talk abt Eddie before we’re introduced to him). We see that people seem to be more irritated by him and afraid of him then actually bullying him before the events of Spring Break.

Even when Eddie and Steve have their conversation in the Upside Down, there’s absolutely no indication that they’ve ever had a bad interaction or even that Eddie has ever had an altercation with Tommy (if we consider the fact that Eddie seems to be the resident drug dealer of Hawkins High and we assume Tommy and Steve were getting high, it’s a dumb idea to fuck with your dealer). Eddie very clearly says “rich parents, popular, chicks love him, not a douche? No way, man” which indicates that he’s making an assumption based on stereotypes, not that he’s ever actually had an interpersonal interaction with Steve.

The worst thing we see Steve do on screen to Eddie is call him a freak to Dustin on the phone when Dustin is annoying him at work and asking Steve to give up a date to do something he’s never shown an interest in doing literally ever and then also not necessarily believing Eddie’s innocent/not wanting to get involved in a murder investigation until they talk to Eddie in the boat house, which. Idk. Doesn’t seem THAT bad to me when you consider the fact that a girl died in his trailer after going there with him (presumably for drugs—we know it’s drugs but Steve and co. do not, I guess… they can only assume lol) (except for saying the cops should handle it because he already knows how incompetent the Hawkins PD is but anyway).

STRANGER THINGS S4 THEORY BELOW

and in the tags

I’ve been trying to keep my blog relatively spoiler/theory clean but this stupid lite brite puzzle got me clowning all over again and I’m gonna make it everyone’s problem…

if you put in the coordinates on the left side it makes half a sideways heart and the right side draws a semi-line underneath it. That plus the two monopoly cards that are clearly about Steve (where he uses an old oar to swing at demi-bats and the runs into the forest/the one about how he’s focused on his love life) got me actually thinking he’s gonna find love IN the upside down and who do we all hope is alive in the UD?
