One part from season 2 that KILLS me every time is when they're all together and discussing the mindflayer and when Dustin says "It believes it's the master race" Steve goes "Oh, like the Germans." and then it cuts to Jancy looking like THIS

Like ahfdjgdhs they look like disappointed parents I'M--

He was 100% plotting Steven's demise right there in real time, he was so done 😭'

my new plotless comfort au that i play in my head like a 5 year old with barbies is the following:

corroded coffin are a local band that has a pretty good circuit in the bar scene of chicago. all of them have day jobs to keep it going, but their dream is to get bigger, to headline. and they actually get a shot, put on a roster with some other up-and-comers for a small local music fest. unfortunately, gareth breaks his hand TWO days before the festival.

eddie scrambles, asking literally anyone if there's a drummer that can at least keep a drumline for them. a blonde girl over hears him pleading, and says "oh my gosh, you need Steve!"

the blonde girl, chrissy, is the lead singer of her bubble gum pop punk girl band with nancy on lead guitar, robin on bass, and steve on drums. (i had a name for them but i forgot it, but their music is based on tiltawhirl by boys go to jupiter in my mind)

"if you're a girl band, how come you have a male drummer?"

"steve's one of the girls! don't as that in front of him, you'll hurt his feelings."

she drags him two blocks over where steve is bartending at a queer club, looks eddie up and down and smirks.

"sure, i'll give it a go. you got your track list i can listen to tonight?"

turns out steve's kind of an instrumental savant. eddie gives him the tape that night, and they hold an emergency rehearsal the next morning and while steve doesn't NAIL all of gareth's parts, he does a serviceable job for only having their music for five hours. Gareth, casted up, sits by the drum kit and they work through gareth queueing steve so that he can match the rest of the band's energy while they play.

it's not PERFECT like eddie would have wanted for their real first shot at stardom, but it will WORK and corroded coffin is eternally grateful. and eddie is eternally grateful when steve shows up to the fest all metal-ed out courtesy of the girls. he's wearing eyeliner. omg.

If those leaks about stranger things 5 on twitter are true then i have nothing else to say other than that it sounds ass.

Robin: [trying to convince Nancy to not to something reckless]

Jonathan: She has a point.

Robin: Don't agree with me, it makes me uncomfortable.

I know we all want an og monster hunting trio revival in s5 but consider the following instead:

It's giving The boys are back in town, the boys of summer, The boys are back. A little mansplain, manipulate, malewife. Very much introducing your new bestie to the one that got away and them hitting it off.

You know when I hear people say they want more messy relationships in ST, I’m tempted to point my finger to the corner where Stonathan sits.

[lukas-dusk]

Pov : Eddie survive the upside down and just join the babysitter club

Jonathan : You really put everything aside and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast?

Nancy : Three counts of resisting arrest.

Robin : Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks.

Steve : Several traffic violations.

Argyle : Also, that’s not our van.

Eddie : I have never been so terrified in my life.

hiii sorry i wanted to talk about the poll regarding the camera. the ONLY thing that makes Steve in the wrong was that his intent wasn’t to really comfort/ get justice for Nancy it was to bully Jon. The thing is though like the means justify the ends ? The camera still should’ve been broken and Jonathan still stays objectively wrong so there’s no way of him being right, it’s that if Steve cared about Nancy more at the time and broke the camera because he was being creepy it would’ve made the most sense. it’s part of the reason why a lot of people think that was his true intent so maybe , maybe not.

I can understand this. Like I said myself Nancy was clearly uncomfortable with both of their actions so while I personally do believe he was trying to defend her, she seemed pretty unhappy with the way he went about it so it's hard to bel it was solely for her benefit.

I also 100% get people saying the camera should've been smashed bc even tho i think it was too far, I'm obviously biased because we're made to like/feel sympathy for Jonathan and because of the way Joe Keery played the scene I've always felt even Steve thought it was too far.

(Basically just cause I'm probably reading into this face he makes)

But his logic of "taking his toy away" makes sense to me. Can't take creepy pictures if you haven't got a camera to take them with.

I don’t ship R*nance, but, man, it’s wild seeing people go “um, why would you ship that, Nancy is so mean to Robin” when they ship H@rringrove. Shouldn’t they be bored because Nancy’s not mean enough? She doesn’t even pop up when Robin’s gazing longingly at Vickie to go “huh, guess your crush is getting porked by Mr. Mullet tonight,” let alone break crockery over her head.

hot? take i do not like stonathan or steddie

[pjlotrhhjeml]

I love the "canon straight couple with their partner" trouple

[dreamofbecoming]

thinking about a stoncy dynamic that’s not romantic or sexual or necessarily even platonic, but it used to be all or some of those things, and now it’s like they don’t know each other really at all anymore unless there’s danger, and then they immediately fall into perfect step with each other without even noticing

they don’t talk and they kinda avoid each other socially after they tried out every configuration of the three of them and none of them worked, but the minute a threat appears suddenly they’re flanking each other without having to discuss it. they fall into battle formation without even a glance. they always know where the other two are in a melee, they don’t have to check. it’s instinctive- stay equidistant, fan out, protect the party. one of them loses their weapon and one of the others throws them another, and they catch it and keep fighting. neither one looks, neither one breaks stride. they move around each other on reflex, like magnets.

just battle-hardened kids who are awkward as hell kids but also seasoned warriors who know each other down to their bones, but only in a fight.

something something the only place you fit in my life anymore is with your back pressed to mine and your weapon raised

If Steve Harrington no longer has fans, it’s because I’m dead. Just so we’re clear (I love that man. So much. He’s my number one babygirl)
