#on my knees begging the duffers for s5 steve to be like s3 steve

[soniclion92]

I think the worst part abt me being anti st*ncy is the fact that I don't even hate Steve like it'd be so much easier if I did but I don't!! He has so much potential to be a great character so naturally its really frustrating to see him essentially being reduced to nothing more than his romantic relationships bc (lets face it) the duffers have no clue what else to do with his character and even his fans reduce him to nothing more than a 'mom' or a 'babysitter'

Idk hopefully bringing back st*ncy was a device for steve actually getting over her in s5 because he didn't seem to even have any remaining interest in her UNTIL everyone planted the idea in his head. Maybe him teaming up with Jonathan in s5 leads him to the realization he doesn't need Nancy like he thinks he does. Like i've been thinking of the scenario of Steve being the one to knock some sense into Jonathan bc even if it hurts he would rather move on than see Jonathan self-sabotage his relationship bc neither Nancy or Jonathan desereve that. It would help both steve and Jonathan and possibly lead to the stoncy friendship we've been wanting from the beginning... but my faith in the Duffers is low atp so 😭
