My Very Educated Take on Steve Harrington and his Bisexual Awakening: Instructions Very Much Included

Absolutely understand those who write Steve Harrington as a shy, new bisexual who has Eddie show him the ropes of queer intimacy. From one angle, I'd almost be inclined to agree.

And then I remember that this is King Steve. Yes, he left the moniker behind, but that doesn't mean the legacy is gone! Royalty doesn't just vanish into oblivion! Kings and Queens of olde are remembered through their tales of greatness and tragedy, and Steve's great legacy is the fact that this man is a bona fide harlot who proudly gave the ladies of Hawkins, ages 16-18 the time of their fucking lives in the golden chariot that is his Beemer.

He's not just out there romancing, either! Robin will need to grudgingly admit, at some point, that his charm is actually so insanely effective that he managed to snag her - the resident Steve Harrington Hater and Local Lesbian - into a lifelong soulmate partnership.

And it gets worse! Because not only is he an absolute charmer, but he's a total slut for true love!

Someone can look at him, at Steve the Hair, Steve the Loverboy, Steve the King of "guess what my jeans are made of relationship material" Harrington and think that he's going to tiptoe and tremble his way through a sexual awakening with Eddie Munson as his guide?

That, to me, is as ridiculous as the thought of Eddie being anything less than a midwestern gay nerd overcompensating with confident speeches and loud proclamations of how he's a bad boy. Like he's not actually a virgin who lies on his stomach, kicking his little feeties in the air, writing tiny stories about being swept off his combat boots by a big strong man with nice hair and a polo shirt and a flock of little nerdy kids behind him.

Like I said. I respect other opinions. But you cannot sway me.

In my head, there is only one true outcome.

Steve Harrington realized he was bisexual, got pumped up because holy shit more people equals more love, Robin, why did you not tell me this was a thing sooner don't be a gay gatekeeper, and then showed up the next day at Eddie's door (with flowers, a hidden box of condoms in one back pocket, and a stapled pile of handwritten instructions - that include detailed charts and graphs and footnotes that he studied and copied down in glitter gel pen in the library - folded up in the other) to tell a very confused Wayne that he just realized his feelings for Eddie were also romantic and he'd very much like to woo his son now, thank you very much.

study of this masterwork

[aeolianblues]

was kinda thinking about this when I saw Renee Rapp live recently-- I didn't know her visual vibe, I'd heard a few songs here and there but I hadn't really *seen* her, and her attire at Osheaga was really casual, a jersey (baseball/basketball?) and slacks. And that was so amazing! I couldn't help thinking, the work Billie Eilish has done for how women in pop music are allowed to dress is incredible. Seeing her up there all comfortable you just know that Billie walked in her oversized tops so that Renee in her slacks could run; Billie walked through all the critcisms about how she dressed slobbily and having to assert that she didn't owe anyone a display of skin, so that Renee could be comfortable and unquestioned running up and down the catwalk in front of 10,000 people. How iconic.

And I don't think we even realised at the time how much something as simple as letting Billie dress the way she as a (then-) 17-year-old teenager dressed, could end up meaning for a future generation of women in music.

Obviously there is still way to go, there were weirdos complaining about how 'plain' Dua Lipa's Glastonbury outfit was this year (in 2024!!), l have to ask, are you at Paris Fashion Week?? She is the musical HEADLINER of an entire day of music at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, and you can't grant her the space to exist as an artist, you have to moan about her dress not being excitingly revealing enough. There's work to do, it's still dismal out there. But the space Billie Eilish has created for a most ordinarily-dressed woman popstar is still heartening.

I'm once again consulting you to ask

[brown-little-robin]

hi Robin!! how was the renaissance faire you went to??

hi Kite!! <33

it was fantastic!! I went with my brother and we wandered around for a few hours. I saw an actual sword-swallower & fire-eater do a comedy act, and a blacksmith made me a magic wand, and I got given a crash course in puppeteering with a rabbit puppet, and my brother got to talk bullwhip-braiding techniques and chainmail with makers, and I got to talk ceramics with a potter who had the most delicious drip glazes, and it was just. YEAH!!!!! reminded me life is worth living!!

also. this was my renfaire fit >:} closest thing to a selfie that I'm gonna post on here <3

i could never be a judge on a comic contest i would have kicked out nearly all of these finalists based on the fact that theyve clearly never printed a thing in their lives

inspired by @/starbanmk ‘s recent biker au post i picked up my pen and did a crunchy little doodle (rambles in the tags) not that the golden gorilla thing has anything to do with their au but that’s not the point

I just looked at the price on the back of a book I’ve had for a bit over a decade and it was four. fucking. dollars. Just four with no taxes. No extra 97cents or something before taxes. Just a round number that you would add taxes to.

I googled the price of a new edition and it was almost thirteen! Not an even thirteen, it was like 12.96 or something. Close enough that it’s basically thirteen but if you’re adding multiple items together to try and get the price on a purchase with more items it would add more confusion.

I think the reason why I struggle with plot ideas so much is because I'm too afraid of it being silly. I need to go back to my younger self and look into her mind. She knew how to make a story enjoyable to write.

[inactiveshrine]

gonna be real bud if your fic relies so heavily on intense triggering themes and shock value that you're averse to putting warnings on it to "maintain surprise" and "avoid spoilers", then you act like you did nothing wrong when people are upset that you didn't make any effort to turn them away and allow them to protect themselves, while also telling them it's their fault that they read something that upset them when they could have never known it contained specific things that will upset them, i think you are a tar pit
