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.

Reminder: Will Byers, Lucas Sinclair, and Dustin Henderson are all visibly different. They're bullied because their respective sexuality, race, and physical condition make them outsiders. They're not bullied because of Mike.

Mike is someone who's different because of his interests. These interests allow him to associate with other "nerds and freaks". Unlike his peers, Mike has the luxury to hide what makes him different, granting him the opportunity to "enjoy" the prototypical, white middle class, suburban lifestyle laid out for him. Whether that path will lead to his happiness is another thing (that the writers will answer in S5).

Mike struggles to live his life truthfully, in spite of and because of his visibly different friends. While he values their differences and sees them as strengths, he's also keenly aware of how it makes them a target.

He saw bullies mock Will for being "a fairy" when Will's death was announced. He heard Will being called "Zombie Boy" which is an epithet referring to AIDS as much as Will's undead escapades. He saw Max's step-brother assault Lucas for being Black. He heard bullies call Lucas "Midnight". He heard bullies call Dustin "Toothless," and he'll soon witness the aftermath of Dustin being beaten for not forsaking the Hellfire Club.

Like Mike said in S3, "We're not kids anymore". He's grown to understand that being different is dangerous. These differences come with real threats that are just as scary, if not scarier, than the supernatural ones the party fights.

Please don't trivialize the struggles of the other party members. Their struggles are significant to the essence of the show, as well as more visible than Mike's, which makes overlooking them deeply ironic.

"I loved the novel (Great Expectations), and it can be slightly intimidating, or you have to pressure yourself when you're taking on such an iconic character. But once you get on set, it's such a fun game—acting out someone you knew when you were a kid. You'd want to be the character you read about in books, so it's great to actually be able to do that as an adult." — HOLLIDAY GRAINGER

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.
