#the biggest issue for me is just the mischaracterization that happens and also the wlw erasure!!

Steddie shipper here n i agree w everything u said about eddie in the post. Some fics are REALLY out of character and I don’t like those, same with the ones that make steve out to be like already into Eddie during s4 events. I think (hopefully) most steddie shippers are aware that there is so little interaction bw them and they’re still mostly strangers by the end. I just like it because Eddie has a lot of characteristics I have, and I’m a queer man, but I most have always related to Steve, so there’s some self-insert stuff going on fs. We’re not all bad i promise!!!!!!!!!!

hiii!! yeah, one of my main issues is definitely with fic writers acting like steve was anything other than neutral or distantly respectful towards eddie before the end of vol 2. doesnt make sense to me.

w everything i said in my post i think the biggest thing for me is just that it can be frustrating when a minor non-canonically queer character overshadows a canonical queer character in fandom, especially when it's mlm vs wlw, which happens a lot.

that said, i also completely understand that a lot of ppl identify w eddie in the few scenes of him that we get. i just think it's equally important to appreciate the rep that we DID get instead of just making up stuff and ignoring everything else.

and lastly dw dw i know not all eddie/steddie fans are bad <33 ive read some really good fics and talked to some rad ppl
