How did they handle things when Eddie was touring often? Not with regards to Steve's health, just in regards to being so grossly in love, keeping the spark alive, keeping the pain of long distance to a minimum etc 🥺

By phone!

Touring was rough for both of them.

It was really the first time that they’d been away from each other since Vecna and the Upside Down, and they weren’t prepared for how difficult it would be.

Luckily, they were both pretty busy at the time. Eddie was taking the stage every other night, sighing autographs and doing interviews, and they partied a lot. Steve was a full time student, working part-time, and was still driving the kids around.

But every night, Eddie always called and Steve always answered.

Eddie swore that he alone kept the pay phone industry in business during this time because quarter after quarter, they’d talk until his bus driver threatened to leave for the next show without him or until Steve fell asleep. They talked about big things and simple things, and it was just nice to hear the others voice.

It was better when the band would stay overnight in a hotel (which didn’t happen often). There’s a home video that the guys filmed where they were doing mock interviews in prep for their MTV interview the next day. In the background, Eddie’s on the phone, chain smoking with the softest look on his face. You can hear him say, “They play volleyball on a beach, in jean shorts. Then what?”

Steve tried to send Eddie flowers at every stop of the tour, but it nearly bankrupts him. Eddie tells him that it’s sweet but there’s no way he can keep bringing them on the bus without Gareth having a full-on asthma attack. Steve started writing letters instead but it was pretty hit or miss if Eddie would get them.

The biggest difficulty was just not knowing. Sometimes Eddie wasn’t in a place where he couldn’t call or sometimes it was so late that Steve was asleep or he wasn’t home. Sometimes when Eddie could call, Steve was in class or at work. Sometimes they’d fight and that fight would have to hang in the air until the next time they had time to talk.

It was frustrating and it was lonely, but there wasn’t a lot that they could do about it until the band came close enough that Steve and their friends could drive out to see them.

Reading rec for the Danny Phantom crowd, especially the vivisection/horror fans

It's spooky, it's queer, it's defiant, it's very ominous so far, it's a murder mystery, it's 1979, there's fighting, there's evil, and lack of scientific ethical boundaries. It's also a recent release, so... 👀

I'm about halfway through and I'm going very quickly through it. Try checking it out at your local library!

the beatles are so funny bc they split up bc of soooo many internal issues (that are 0% yoko) and big egos. and then you have fleetwood mac with so many Messy relationships within the band, who decided to release 'go your own way' as the lead single to their magnum opus and put 'silver springs' on the b-side. and then rumours doesn't break them. they still make music together for years after, having members sing backing on tracks that are about them. like. it's so funny.
