Hellcheer Kinktober Day Two!

Today's prompt is "feet", but bc a bitch has a hysterical phobia of feet, it's very light/non-sexual.

(No kinkshaming from yours truly, ofc!)

[vecnawave]

if steve's arc is earning the love of the people who he disappointed when he was a jerk and prove he's changed then why doesn't he date the guy he said the cruelest things to only to get his ass handed to him. huh. coward

Jonathan bout to fuck up steve again lmaoo

When you're hundreds of miles away, but your sixth sense is telling you that your boyfriend is talking about boobies with his lesbian best friend again.

(Steve is going to receive one angry phone call once Joyce gets off the phone...)

Stonathan Sundays

Hello guys! Don't think I didn't forget about our favourite tradition. Got to keep the Stonathan tag going even a little bit every week XD.

Anyway, this also fills a square on my Slumber Party Bingo card, which I am very excited to be working on. Enjoy!

@slumberpartybingo - Never have I ever... Grabbed the wrong person's hand in public

"You owe me a dinner. A very nice dinner."

Jonathan looked down at the hand that had suddenly become intertwined with his own, following the arm attached to it up to a far too attractive man squinting at the list of movie showings beside them. "Um," he tried to start, getting the man to turn towards him.

"Oh fuck!" The man dropped Jonathan's hand suddenly, taking a huge step back. It was disappointing but not unexpected. "I'm so sorry! I thought you were my friend! I just had to get rid of this complete douchebag who wouldn't stop hitting on her and my glasses are in her bag and I thought you were..." The man cut himself off with a sudden gasp, exhaling it out slowly. "She's rubbing off on me," he muttered before straightening and saying, "I'm sorry."

Jonathan blinked at the man, his brain just trying to process the far-too-fast words. It finally clicked on one detail, "Her?"

The man winced, "Yeah, my vision is really not great and you really kind of look like her from the back." He ran a hand through his ridiculously long hair, "I'm really not the type to go up and grab random strangers' hands and freak them out."

"Whose hands are you grabbing?" A voice came from behind the man just before a girl appeared holding two ridiculously large movie theatre cups. Jonathan assumed this was the girl that the man thought he was, but couldn't understand why. She locked eyes with him as she started loudly slurping through her straw. "Steve, what did we say about flirting with random people in public? Pretty sure I still have the 'You Suck' board somewhere that shows how much you shouldn't do it."

The man, Steve apparently, groaned, "No, do not bring up the board! We came out to have a good time and you are just attacking me for no reason!"

"Not no reason if you can't even recognize your best friend," the girl sniffed just before throwing a conspiring wink towards Jonathan. He raised one hand as subtly as he could to his cheek and, yup, he had been red for a while, hadn't he?

"I'm sorry about Robin. I think she was dropped on her head as a child," Steve turned his big eyes back towards Jonathan who quickly jerked his arm back down, trying to look normal.

"I'm sorry about Steve. I know he was dropped on his head as a child," the girl countered, all grins as Steve turned a glare on her.

"I just wanted to see a funny movie that I picked for once. Is this payback?"

"Maybe you should invite your new friend along. Seeing as you like him better than me apparently. Try to hold hands again in the dark theatre," Robin said right before turning and marching over to the ticket counter.

Both boys blinked after her before Steve said, "Don't listen to her. Really, she is a menace. We are just seeing that ridiculous rabbit movie cause I thought it looked like it would be fun. But if that isn't what you are seeing, or even if it is, you..."

"It is," Jonathan didn't know what caused him to blurt it out. As far as he knew, the new Friday the 13th movie was not remotely funny or had any ridiculous rabbits in it. He knew there was no way they had arrived to watch the same film. But it wasn't often that he saw someone who was interesting and didn't freak out at the implications of flirting with another guy. So if there was any chance...

It was worth the impulse to see the grin appear on Steve's face, crinkling his nose slightly as it did, "Okay, hand-holding stranger. Come join us then."

Jonathan could feel the corners of his mouth twitch up as he started to follow him, "Jonathan. My name is Jonathan."

hi!! doing a survey here, very official important business 📝 thoughts on stonathan? 🎤

Hi hello!

Ah yes yes well for you very official important business survery I will say that I absolutely LOVE stonathan just everything about them is absolutely *chefs kiss*

[rogueddie]

one sided stonathan my beloved. steve realizing he likes guys too bc of jonathan beating him up, steve knows he's crushing on jonathan, steve doesn't realize until robin points it out, steve scoffing when eddie presumes hes the first guy steves thought about, steve flushing bc eddie is making him realize in retrospect that he liked jonathan. jonathan is always clueless. it should be in every steddie fic. it's stonathan or death in this household.

Platonic Jonbin headcanons?

oh my god being asked to talk about platonic jonbin??? them and platonic edancy are my favorite underrated platonic dynamics so I will use any opportunity to not shut up about them.

heads up! there will be possible rojancy (without romantic jonbin obviously) and possible stonathan and also possible platonic soulmatism stobin because those are things I cannot get out of my skin.

also! these are all in random order and don't have to exist in the same universe as each other or canon. really this is mostly just me cherry picking what parts of canon I like then saying fuck it and going by vibes!

jonathan and robin are both nonbinary but robin is a she/he sort of nonbinary and jonathan is a they/them sort of nonbinary (this will be the pronouns I'll be using throughout this) (if you see me use different pronoun hcs in different posts shut your mouth)

they have matching music tastes. no, not the same music taste, MATCHING music tastes. like it feels like the songs would get along or would be in playlists of two best friend characters. they're also both incredibly passionate about music so they love saying that each other are the "only music tastes I respect even though I don't listen to all of them" like they're such snobs together (robin is joking, jonathan is not)

they do dress like they came from the same cartoon. it's less that they look similar and more like they have a general vibe to them that when put together feels eerily like the same artist drew them

jonathan finds eddie hot and robin is so personally offended by that because eddie is the person he loves making fun of because it's her personal bully victim (affectionate)

"FIRST STEVIE AND NOW EDDIE????" "I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED"

robin and jonathan have opposite tastes in crushes. the singular place it aligns is with nancy wheeler

robin has a thing for people who kind of intimidate her and are incredibly driven/passionate people with a soft side

jonathan has a thing for soft people who love animals and are really kind but with a scary side

"how is she literally perfect????" "i don't even know"

there is something so funny to me about jonathan having a heavy preference for men in their sexuality

"that guy is hot" "he literally looks like he's been dipped in a dumpster what the fuck is wrong with you"

the pattern you're seeing in these headcanons is that they're not similar as much as they are complimentary

robin does jonathans hair. they didn't ask for it, he just showed up to their house with hair products and went "sit down. no you don't have a choice."

this isn't necessarily because she's good at doing hair and more because jonathan's hair texture is just so nice but eventually he gets really good at it

steals each other clothes but will not use it in the same way. jonathan's overwear???? no, that's robin's lasso. robin's shirt???? no, that's jonathan's journal decoration

stonathan with platonic jonbin is so fucking funny and i don't know why more people don't consider this

"MY BEST FRIEND IS FUCKING MY PLATONIC SOULMATE????? oh my god i let them meet is this nepotism" "robin what the fuck" "nonono let her speak"

also platonic soulmates stobin being so welcoming of jonathan my beloved <33

"you stole my best friend and my ex???" "are you actually mad" "no that's funny as fuck you should come for girls nights"

which while we're on that tangent yes jonathan is invited for girls nights yes they are the most girl there no they are not a girl you just don't understand their gender is a candy wrapper at the bottom of a garbage can okay

"I'm infiltrating the secret meetings of all genders." "yes, jonathan, sit down, let me do your nails while robin talks about girls"

jonathan is literally the best person to come to for any crush because while steve will get excited with robin and support his delulu urges jonathan will be dead serious when they say "no she likes you back you dumbass"

when they get flustered from nancy flirting with them they react the exact same, which is they freeze and slowly turn redder

the difference is jonathan goes silent while robin starts talking more to attempt to distract nancy (it doesn't work)

when they panic at the same time their brains temporarily connect so they can yell "oh god fuck oh my god what do we say fuck she's so pretty I'm too gay for this" in each others brains

robin loves her label as being a lesbian very much and he's very connected to it while jonathan could not care less to label their sexuality

"mmm I'm such a lesbian womennnnnn" "have fun with that but also fold your fucking clothes"

they both get each other out of awkward social situations when their token 'knows how to talk to people' buddy isn't there

they also tend to stick to each other when steve is out being sociable in public spaces

as much as i love the idea of steve being robin's beard, i like jonathan as his beard more

people are more intimidated by jonathan for whatever reason so they're less likely to bug them about their relationship

if you're going down the rojancy route, they're dating the same girl so they hang out a lot together anyways so it's a good cover

and if you're going down the stonathan route steve is literally always with robin they can find time to sneak in kisses

"arent you jealous your gf is always with that Harrington kid??" "I'm not even slightly worried i trust her"

robin gets really attached to will and basically becomes will's third sibling

she's also really attached to el so she's ready to bat for the byers family any day of the week

jonathan is the older sister, robin is the older brother, i dont make the rules

(i mean i literally do in this scenario but like the worms in my brain insist)

robin jumps on top of jonathan instead of "hugging"

"hugging is weak we will be commencing a five-step attack plan" "robin."

i now realize how long ive been talking I'll stfu

Stonathan my beloved

[tulip-wizard]

no but LITERALLY

even if you don't see them doing that on screen it doesn't mean that Jonathan and Steve are not making out in secret btw the world doesn't work like that do you really think Jon wanted to break up with Nancy because of college????? Steve is the real reason. also if you read between the lines that Steve is saying to Nancy this season it makes sense that he wanted to do double dates and then faked being still in love with Nancy so that she felt guilty about cheating on Jon and left him first... like Dustin says what the people observe is not the obvious things. get smarter!

[vecnawave]

jonathan deserved to be weirder. take more photos secretly but only of steve. follow him to his house and have the perfect hiding spot. more perfect spots to lurk in the school hallways to watch steve. have an assigned seat to stare at the back of his head for hours without being weird. hide under the bleachers during basketball practice. carry a photo of him in his wallet. have a little album to look at when he feels sad or stressed. go batshit insane and take photos from every angle, not only his face, but his hair, his nape, his arms, his back, his legs. steve being the only thing jonathan allows himself to indulge in.

and when everything comes to light and steve learns about it, he's weirded out for a second, but despite himself, he's intrigued. wants to be closer to him and clock all his little reactions. stay up all night wondering why jonathan is *so* obsessed with him. wondering if anyone would pay him as much attention as he does. perhaps he becomes a little obsessed himself.
