#it’s the constantly unimpressed younger sibling dynamic for me

[loveinhawkins]

under-appreciated moment is Dustin’s impatient little hand raise, like, oh my god, would you just wait when Eddie’s pressing Hellfire about whether they’re going to fight or not. Like this is second nature to him by now—how many times has he completely derailed Eddie’s plans for a campaign because he’s just not intimidated by a false sense of urgency; he’s lived through the real deal, after all. The true match for Eddie’s dramatics is Dustin’s stubbornness that his decisions are always right, actually, don’t rush me, dude!

Dustin spends the first few campaigns he’s in completely destroying Eddie’s narrative tension; Eddie can’t decide whether to be furious or delighted. Who the fuck is this kid? I hate him, he thinks affectionately.
