this sequence really hit me in the feels
fully sobbing at this sequence. this was a wonderful break from the story, a little moment to recognize the beauty of life.
steps into a big pot of bubbling oil and sits there like its a hot tub and i snile at you so nicely that you step in after me and youre immediately boiled til theres nothing left
i love the phrase "which could mean nothing" i think its my favorite thing to come out of the internet ever i love saying it. it could mean nothing but we all know better. we know the truth.
something something about rockstar eddie on tour telling everyone left and right about his sweetheart, his stevie, the light of his life, his sweet lil baby. getting more and more excited about when he's going to see his sweetheart at a concert soon.
the roadies and techs are kinda excited about it - placing bets on what kind of girl could have big bad rockstar eddie munson this starry eyed. with the way eddie is going on they are absolutely convinced that she's some tiny little slip of a girl that wears pastel pink everywhere and has never ever done anything bad in her life.
the big day arrives, everyone is excited to meet eddie's lil princess...but instead "sweet little babygirl stevie" is some big jock dude in a polo shirt and lightwash jeans who carries around equipment like it weighs nothing and who swears like a sailor when someone nearly drops an amp on his foot.
I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

I'll add the Mama's boy Steve Harrington content to the fandom myself one post at a time if I have to, here we go
(disclaimer, I know it's not canon. I know he has bad parents. I know you may not agree. Drink my fresh squeezed delusion lemonade and let's get to business)
- That boy put his mama as his reference for Family video with no lack of confidence and saw nothing strange about it when questioned (Canon)
- she absolutely put curlers in his hair when he was younger and when he got bigger he put them in hers. They bitch about their neighbors together in house frocks and curlers on Sundays
- he 100% modeled his bitchy kingy persona after her when she talks to his dad's secretary/ his dad/ the neighbors they gossip about
- he loves to gossip with Robin, Max, Dustin, Argyle and eventually corroded coffin guys, but doesn't really get that he's gossiping, he's "just talking about people, it's normal". He's "just talking about people" with Erica one time, one hand holding a mug, the other popped on one hip when someone (Mike) calls them both gossips and he gets really "its not gossiping, were just talking, duuh, dumbass" complete with an eye roll and waving the mug around, about it, just like his mom does
- he realizes it's gossiping like a minute later
- but also realizes he can't be bothered to be bothered ya know, cest la vie
- his mom also taught him that
- his mom notices Steve needs glasses and makes him get a prescription "either you go by yourself like an adult, with your pride, or I take you there by the hand and be very loud in the waiting room about how MY LITTLE BOY WOULD LIKE TO GET HIS EYES CHECKED TODAY BY MISTER DOCTOR, PLEASE. TELL THE DOCTOR WHAT'S WRONG STEVIE, DON'T BE SHY". Steve goes by himself and makes her wait in the car.
- she gets him multiple frames that match the colors of shirts he wears the most
- their favorite cocktail (Steve is absolutely a cocktail man, don't argue with me here) is amaretto sour
- she actually got that one from him, not the other way around
- she eventually finds his nail bat and confronts him about it by dangling the bat in one hand, the other on her hip leaning on his bedroom doorway like "Steve, sweetie, I know we don't like your father, but this seems a little excessive and too messy to cover up afterwards, don't you think"
- Steve has to stammer that he's bat-sitting for Dustin's... Art... Project. Yes, mom, that is a weird art project, I don't know what to tell you, they get weird kids in school these days.
- she doesn't buy it but accepts the answer and Dustin ends up telling her about it after UD is revealed, anyway
- not that Steve wouldn't have told her eventually, he just forgot that detail among telling her everything else
- Dustin walked pass them when Steve was filling her in on the lore and just dropped the bomb of "you should see his nail bat, Ms Harrington, he killed a dog with that thing"
"STEVE." "IT WASN'T A REAL DOG, MOM, DUSTIN I SWEAR TO GOD. "
musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction
