the problem with visual platforms like instagram and tiktok (or ones that limit the amount of words you can use like twitter) is that they are inhospitable to complex discussions of themes and narrative. which is why booktok/booktwt are both so stupid. they incentivise u to aestheticise reading to the point where even your personal annotations are more for the benefit of an unseen audience than for yourself. fuck understanding or interrogating the book that youre reading. what u need is likes and retweets. don't buy a book that will make your bookshelf ugly. don't crack the spine, read it once, or read the ebook and keep the physical copy purely for display purposes. only read about hot people, young people, middle class english speaking westerners. only read about people who are exactly like you. you must never be pretentious you must never be overly serious you must never be ugly. etc. its all very miserable

Lil Nas X does what people think Harry Styles does

Still can’t believe we got to witness the Upside Down’s first ever pride parade.

honestly steve harrington's character growth from homophobic prom king who's friends are complete assholes and only really cares about himself with a crush on the most perfect girl at school to bisexual single mother of six who's best friend is a lesbian and crush is the metalhead d&d-obsessed school freak who's gotten held back twice and been accused of murder once is not just one of the greatest things to ever come from tv, it is also one of the most absolutely hilarious.

robin and steve being each others homophobic dog i LOVE to see it

im sure you guys know the reigen and mob meme of this and it just fits dustin and steve too well so i had to LOL

Socialist Nancy, Communist Robin, and Anarchist Eddie love to have political debates in front of Steve, who doesn’t know who the U.S. president is.

"it's a show set in the 80s they're not gonna be gay" eat garbage eat garbage eat garbage eat garbage eat garbage eat garbage you bastard fuck man.

Steve and Eddie in the new season 4 trailer

I’ve connected the dots

that feeling of being queer in the 80s and the person you’re totally not crushing on is suddenly invested in their ex. 😋🤭

eddie munson: carrying his lunch box full of dr*gs around school

robin and steve being each others homophobic dog i LOVE to see it

Still super jealous as hell, by the way.

ok so the original post got WAY more attention than i thought it would (here's a quick little screenshot of said post in case some of y'all don't know what i'm talking about)

SO, here's the deal. i'll write the st4 rewrite if and only if one or two of the following happens:

mike monologuing to eleven about how much he loves her and literally everything that was pointing to byler in vol 1 is completely thrown out of the window.

someone dies. in the main gang at least. this could be eddie, robin (i will actually cry if she dies they can't fucking do that), max, etc. you know what i mean.

will doesn't get his coming out scene. or his sexuality isn't talked about with anyone and it's kicked under the rug with the whole “up for interpretation” crap again.

what i'll include in the rewrite if any of those happen:

mike's struggles with his repressed emotions and sexuality. a deeper insight into his thoughts a little further down the line. byler endgame and a mutual milkvan breakup.

nobody dies. that's it. nobody dies in the main gang they're all safe.

will gets his coming out scene. with jonathan specifically because i'm a sucker for that. and then he gets one with mike towards the end too, which follows in mike admitting the truth about his own sexuality.

robin and nancy also get together. so do steve and eddie. and also jonathan and argyle cuz, yeah. lumax remains how it is because they're literally the only stable canon relationship atm. and eleven finally gets to stand on her own two feet. oh and jopper is alright too. I'm not saying i'm terrified something will happen to them in vol 2 but. i am.

eddie & steve in chapter six: the dive

FUCK OUT MY WAY WHEN YOU SEE ME…

This took me way to long to read….;-; also if you know you know

eddie’s used to being called slurs but GOD the moment someone even tries to call steve a slur he’d go fucking ape shit, absolutely fucking bonkers, i tell you.

maybe eddie would be at the video store asking steve for horror recommendations and he hears it under someone’s breath and he whips around. and steve is so stunned because he’d been taunted and belittled before but slurs? thats new to him.

eddie would try to pick a fight (he’d win because the kid is like 15) and steve just tells him to let it go but eddie just can’t. he can’t let someone get away with that, it’s not fair to steve. but then steve just looks up at eddie and eddie knows he’s fucked because how can he say no to steve’s stupid little puppy dog eyes and stupid little pout.

steve wouldn’t admit it but he felt like crying in that moment. even if he wanted to admit it, he still wouldn’t. it would give eddie another reason to beat the shit out of the kid and steve really didn’t want to see his boyfriend behind bars today. (although, he did think eddie looked awfully cute when he flashed steve the shy smile from his cell when steve had to bail him out once)

when his shift finally ended and they were in the comfort of eddie’s trailer steve fell into eddie’s arms, fighting back tears while repeating a mantra of ‘i love you’s, and eddie honestly doesn’t know what to do except pull the boy closer and reaffirm every single ‘i love you’ he hears.

enjoy this, more sappy steddie for y’all

in other words. i got the clearance to graduate! i almost had an eddie munson moment 😭

also yell at me if u see major writing errors

eddie munson is a Weirdo and steve harrington is equally confused and intrigued by him and if that isn't peak ship dynamic I don't know what is

okay but

after everything goes back to "normal", Steve and Eddie obviously stay friends. and Steve has a crush on his new friend. obviously

so one day Eddie decides to give the inside of his uncle's trailer a new coat of paint, including his own room. the bad memories of what happened in that trailer still linger, and the physical reminder on the living room ceiling isn't doing Eddie any good. Steve, of course, offers to help him paint

when he knocks on the door, Eddie yells at him to come inside. Steve enters, and almost chokes on his own tongue

because there is Eddie, in jeans that are more rip than denim, an old ratty crop top with paint on it, and his hair up in a messy bun

they don't get much painting done that day. obviously

if anyone wants to use this as a prompt, feel free to do so 👀

dustin really went from having no dad to one dad to two dads all within the span of like 2 years
