Sub Eddie Week 2024 - Non-Sexual Side - Day 5 : Possessive Steve - 05.05.2024

Here is my late little contribution to @subeddieweek :3 (I'm so late for this 😅)

Day 5 : Possessive Steve - Billy flirting with Sub Eddie and Daddy Steve coming to 'rescue' his babyboy - 05.05.2024

I couldn't help but imagine that Billy would be his flirty little self with Eddie and Steve in that situation

Just wanting to pick your brain( bc I'm kind of like this too) what is it about Steve? He's the common denominator in all the ships you write (Which you do so beautifully btw) like steddie, stommy, and now stonathan (!!!!!). And you've also said it's easier for you to write in Steve's POV than Eddie's. Is there a particular reason? Do you relate to him in canon or your writing?

You are such a genius, I could listen to you talk about your writing all day.

I cannot wait for whatevers coming down the pike: the wip stonathan fic, the iylo update (see what I did there?) . Everything you put out into the world is a gift anyway so <3

!! thank you! hah, why steve? i'm not sure! i was a steve hater for a long time. still am, in a lot of ways.

in canon, i like steve best as a side character. his character motivations shift so drastically between seasons that i find the more screentime he gets, the less sense he makes lmao (probably why i disliked the scoops storyline, tho i love s3 robin).

and honestly, i think i like writing steve as much as i do because i want to read him a certain way, and it's not a version i see enough (for my taste). i really like steve as someone with grey moral values, a bit selfish, rude as a default. not necessarily stupid but he doesn't care if he's wrong. competitive to a ridiculous degree. distracted by trying to figure out who he is but also caring too much about what other people think to really find an answer.

i relate to him (the way i write him) in a few ways, but it's hard for me to pinpoint the exact reasons why tbh. some people who know me well can read my writing and see when i'm projecting onto him.

the big thing for me is i like writing him falling for different people. i love his friendship with tommy and carol, and all the potential romantic overlap. him and eddie are fun (and i love eddie, but steddie isn't my ~OTP~ or anything). jonathan is a PAIN to write but i'm liking it so far. and i know some people will give me grief for it, but i'm also writing a metalsandwich fic (so steve, billy, and eddie) which has been super fun.

i find the s2 confrontation between billy & steve at the byers house to be one of steve's best scenes ("were you dropped too much as a child, or what?... she's not here") - lying to billy's face feels like a fucking wild choice and i love it. steve with anger simmering beneath the surface. finally learning to plant his feet. still gets beaten to a pulp <3

he's an idiot boy and i love him.

did this answer the question? maybe! i can also talk about steve forever, so i love getting messages like this :) :) thank you for reading my works.

This is mostly about Billy because that's the only one I know from your tags but you can answer for all of them. I do plan on watching 9-1-1 soon and would love some motivation on the Evan Buckley front 👀👀👀

HEHE I'm gonna answer for Billy and Buck ♡

Why are they your favorite? Billy - He's my favorite because he's such an interesting character with a relatable backstory. He had so much potential as a character and he's so deserving of love

Buck - Similar reason. He wanted to be loved so desperately by his parents, but he also has amazing character development from the little asshole he is in season one. It's literally like watching him grow up.

Do you have anything in common with them?

Well yes. I was also a little shit when I was younger and have trauma lmao

Do you have any polar opposite traits to them?

Yeah they're white LMFAO

What are your favorite added rep headcanons for them?

I headcanon that Buck and Billy are both bottoms but I kinda think the bottom buck headcanon might be true if you watch season 7 lmao

What's a popular headcanon for them you just can't get behind?

Straight Billy. He's very queer coded to me and I will never see him otherwise.

What's a popular headcanon for them that you adore?

For Billy - Bottom (obviously), Billy being good with kids, Billy being a decent (or terrible) cook, Billy being affectionate

For Buck - Buck being the boyfriend who shows off his boyfriend to everyone, ADHD Buck (which was kinda confirmed by Oliver Stark, the actor but not by the series so I guess it's still a headcanon, but he definitely is neurodivergent af FOR CERTAIN)

'Put that guy into situations' or 'take that guy out of situations'?

Put that guy into situations that are funny/healthy for them. Take that guy out of situations (by killing their parents)

What are your favorite poly ship(s) for them, if any?

I don't like any poly ships for buck. I think Fireflies is cool (Eddie/Buck/Tommy) But I don't ship it enough to explore it myself.

Well, unless you count Eddie/Buck/Clipboard as a ship because Buck and his clipboard is certainly a love affair LMAO

For Billy, I like metalsandwich ♡

What are your favorite mono ship(s) for them, if any?

Harringrove and Buddie are my true loves (I've been exploring bucktommy because it's like a shot of serotonin directly into my brain tho)
