robin comes out to joyce because i was feeling very normal about even that lil snippet... no pressure though! (this is normalthings btw just on main. i think you follow my main but still just clarifying)

hi lu!! don't worry, i got u !!

joyce stops, placing the plate into the soapy water, and turns to robin. tears threaten to spill over, her bottom lip quivers, and briefly, something protective flares in joyce. something that wants to find out who did this to robin to make her feel like this, something that wants to make them pay.

“robin, honey, there is nothing wrong with you.”

“but what if there is?” robin sniffles. “what if…what if it’s not—”

joyce places her hand atop robin’s, giving it a gentle squeeze. “robin, it’s okay, sweetie.”

The party, of course, immediately accepted Will and Robin when they came out. Dustin couldn't help but ask the question because he's a nosy little shit.

Dustin: *looking at Robin* If you had to pick a man, though, who would you go for?

Robin: Steve. No contest. Only in a parallel universe, though. And parallel me still has to like women. There's no universe where I'm straight. Not that I have anything against heterosexuality.

Steve: Eddie. *everyone stares at him* Oh, was that question not directed at both of us?

Eddie: It's okay, big boy. If I were gay, I'd go for you, too.

Argyle: *whispering* Oh, man, Steve and Eddie don't know about bisexuality.

Steve: You whispered that to me.

Argyle: Oh, sorry. *turns to Jonathan* Oh, man, Steve and Eddie don't know that bisexuality exists.

Hopper accidentally becomes the biggest ally in Hawkins out of hatred for Mike Wheeler. El wants to date Max? Perfect, Mike is terrified of Max. El wants to date Max and Lucas? Even better, more people to keep Mike away. Will comes out to Joyce and Hop? Hopper is immediately studying up on gay culture and flagging so he can find him a Hop ApprovedTM boyfriend. He sees that nice boy Gareth cuff his jeans one time and starts inviting him to family dinner. Mike seems annoyed that Steve is spending more time with Munson? A pamphlet titled “Accepting your Bisexuality” finds its way into Steve’s jacket pocket. Hopper has never seen Mike as furious as the day Steve and Munson arrive at dinner holding hands. It’s a good day. Hopper isn’t sure how Nancy dating the Buckley girl will annoy Mike, but he’s willing to give it a shot.

were we just kids, just starting out

Give me good at math Steve. Maybe he’s dyslexic and words never made sense and always swam away from him, but numbers? He can memorize formulas, he can recognize patterns.

I feel like it would add so much dimension to his character. I always like it in fic when they write Steve knowing a second language, or playing an instrument because I feel like the fandom has taken this idea that Steve is incompetent and ran with it. He’s incredibly clever, and sarcastic (a sign of intelligence btw), and snarky. He thinks quickly, is it well thought out? Not always, but that’s just his lack of self preservation skills. People can be smart and idiots at the same time, they can have their strengths and I wish that was portrayed more in fic and fandom.

So let him be good at math. Let him just be able to make sense of it. Show him tutoring El and assisting Lucas and Max when Mike and Dustin seem too condescending or intimidating or bitchy.

He’ll be bitchy too, but in an understanding way, because he knows what it’s like to struggle with something others find simple.

Also give us a scene where Mike or Dustin find out and flip their lids PLEASE

Having thoughts of The Party being touchy as all fuck after everything.

Like you cannot enter nor leave any kind of hang out without a hug, high-five, pat, or anything from everyone you were hanging out with.

And then, suddenly, you aren’t able to leave without a kiss or hug of some kind from Steve.

It started after the bullshit that was the Starcourt Mall. The kids were leaving Steve’s house from a DnD session maybe 2 months before the Byers left for Cali.

Dustin was taking forever to pull his shoes on and get out the house to his moms car and everyone was complaining. It was one of those rare times where Steve wasn’t the one carting them all around— they all had their own rides.

Dustin got his shoes on and Steve handed him his bag and— without thinking— pressed a kiss to the top of his hat before waving him out the door.

The rest of the kids are silent until Mike speaks up bitchily “what about us, asshole?”

Steve has no idea what they mean until El points to her head with a grin. Steve deals out head and forehead kisses for everyone and waves them off to their respective rides.

And then it just— sticks. At first it’s with just the kids whenever he sees them. He’ll usually greet them with a hug or an exasperated sigh and then say goodbye with a kiss to their foreheads.

Not even Mike complains. This is the kind of shit he never got while growing up— might as well make the best of it.

And then it migrates to Robin as well, and the Nancy is joining in on the hugs (they’re still too awkward for the kisses but the hugs are enough for now).

And Steve never holds back, not even in public. Again, no one complains.

And that’s how Hellfire finds out about the kissing arrangement (that might be the title of this if I make it an actual fic). They watch as Steve presses a forehead kiss to Mike, Lucas, and Dustin before waving them off and then presses a kiss to Max’s head and giving her a tight hug.

The guys try to make fun of the kids for it but none of them are embarrassed.

“It’s Steve, dude. He’s like a mom.”

“The kisses are actually really comforting.”

“It’s a Party thing.”

And then the fuckery of 1986 and Vecna happens and suddenly Eddie’s in on the hugs and pats and high-fives.

And then.

And then.

He’s in on the kisses.

Steve doles out the kisses like usual one night after Hellfire and gives one to everyone— including Eddie.

And Eddie panics and gives Steve one right back.

And then the kids are going feral about wanting to give Steve a kiss too.

And Eddie leaves during the chaos.

And then they don’t talk about it.

Until Steve and Eddie do it again.

And the kids accept is as the new normal; you have to give Steve a kiss back.

And then Steve and Eddie have an excuse to kiss each other on the foreheads and cheeks and noses.

One night they’re hanging out, just the two of them at the trailer after Wayne left for work.

Steve had greeted Eddie with a tight hug the moment he’d gotten in the trailer. Eddie had squeezed back just as tight if not tighter.

Steve was getting ready to leave, and on instinct leant in to kiss Eddie, but Eddie was also leaning in to kiss Steve. So they meet in the middle and accidentally kiss on the lips.

And then the new normal for Steve and Eddie is kissing on the lips goodbye.

Idk, just Steve being a very touchy feely person makes me so happy

mike didn’t hold back this time

GUYS THIS IS NOT A DRILL

[snowangeldotmp3]

just gimme joyce n robin in rr:stud stuff. because

some joyce and robin hc's for you!!

even after will is discharged from the hospital, joyce tries the best she can to come up to the hospital and visit robin too. it's during these trips where she basically drafts robin's adoption papers sjgksdjghksd

after robin's able to come home, she goes back to her house. to melissa and richard. but they just... Don't Get It. her nightmares, the ptsd. she calls joyce one night, just to talk to will, just so she can kind of clear her head and make sure that she's Here and not There, ya know? except will's already asleep. robin apologizes about bothering them so late and that she won't do it again she'll just like, write about it in her journal or something. joyce's heart breaks for her!! she tells robin to give her no less than ten minutes. ten minutes later The Pinto is in the buckley yard.

robin does look scarily enough like jonathan. they're the same height. same hair color. same sense of fashion + music. joyce has referred to them as 'the twins' at least once.

robin coming out to joyce is something so personal to me....robin who's been a little Off all day. not like, upside down related stuff, she's just...Off. out of it. all day long. they all notice, and especially joyce. after dinner that night, joyce asks robin what's been eating at her all day. gently. warmly. robin has a tendency to either spill her guts or recede completely into her shell, so she has to do this carefully. robin weighs her options carefully; tell joyce and lose all of this, or, not tell joyce and have joyce continually ask her about it. she takes a deep breath, steadying herself, and says, "i think there's something wrong with me, joyce."

(will and jonathan are trying very hard not to spy on them from the living room. will, mostly. he just wants to know why she's so sad :( )

anyway. robin comes out to joyce and it's a whole Moment. robin's crying. joyce hugs her and tells her there is nothing wrong with her. (+ will seeing this and finding the courage later to tell joyce + jonathan!!)

joyce tries to play matchmaker for robin. she definitely also owns one of those "I LOVE MY LESBIAN DAUGHTER" shirts.

that's all i've got for now !! robin buckley byers you are so real to me <3
