Can you put Eddie at the Abby Lee Dance Company?

he’s a great dance mom

[ac0smicdanc3r]

This is such a Wayne and Eddie interaction I don’t make the rules

[ac0smicdanc3r]

I’ve never noticed it before, but it looks like Steve says “you’re crazy” when Eddie leans in.

I rewatched the scene and it kinda sounds like it too.

I just love that tho

Steve being all giggly when he says it. Like PLEASE “You’re crazy 🤭🫦”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is literally flirting

Still super jealous as hell, by the way.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

Steddie and Ronance Married at First Sight au?

I don’t know if anyone even watches MAFS (any Australians here?), but I had to put the idea out there.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

This is gonna be stupid but stick with me…

I honestly think that Steve is one minor inconvenience away from a total breakdown.

Something like getting his jacket caught on a door handle or stubbing his toe.

Although my most favourite headcanon is that Steve is a Wham fan….I hope you can see where this is going…

To set the scene:

Two months post season 4, Vecna’s still lurking somewhere, Eddie is dead, Dustin is depressed, the town is still a chaotic wreck and everyone is stressed.

Steve is able to push all the feelings down and the trauma away. He is fine. Totally fine. Not gonna deal with it right now.

And he is doing a fantastic job at not feeling anything, until he sees a certain newspaper in mid-May. “Time to Go-Go” the headline reads, as the news that Wham is breaking up is delivered to him.

Steve just starts sobbing.

And yeah, he is sobbing about everything, all the traumatic shit that has happened over the last three years. But Wham? Yeah, that was the final straw.

Eddie and Dustin sitting in Eddie’s van, parked outside Family Video, where Steve is behind the counter.

Eddie, who has been uncharacteristically quiet all morning, finally speaks up when Dustin reaches for the door handle.

Eddie: I think I’m dating Steve.

Dustin: What?

Eddie: I’m not sure. It’s just a possibility. I could be wrong.

Dustin: But how? When?

Eddie: Well, I went with him to his cousin’s wedding, because Robin couldn’t go, and it was really nice, we had a really good time. We laughed a lot, we ate and then we danced.

Dustin: Danced? How?

Eddie: We pop-locked.

Dustin: No, was it a fast dance, slow dance, group dance?

Eddie: A slow dance. What the hell is “group dance”?

Dustin: The hustle, the hora.

Eddie: No hustle, no hora. It was a slow dance, a waltz. Steve can waltz.

Dustin: Steve can waltz?

Eddie: Steve can waltz.

Dustin: Look how you just said, “Steve can waltz.”

Eddie: What? I’m just saying, I’m surprised that Steve can waltz.

Dustin: That sounded more like “I’m surprised I still have my clothes on.”

Eddie: Oh, stop.

Dustin: Well, what else happened?

Eddie: Nothing. We spent the evening together. We danced, he drove me home, then he asked me to a movie. All of these things individually do not add up to dating but together, I don’t know. And there was this moment, when he drove me home, where I thought…I don’t know.

Dustin: Did you say yes?

Eddie: When?

Dustin: To the movie, did you say yes?

Eddie: Yes.

Dustin: That sounds like dating to me.

Eddie: But maybe he didn’t mean it as a date. Maybe he just needs to get out of the house and since I’m currently one of the people sitting at home thinking, “if I could only find a man like Aragorn.” he picked me.

Dustin: Okay, woah, this is Steve.

Eddie: I know.

Dustin: Our Steve. We see him basically every day. He’s part of our lives.

Eddie: I know.

Dustin: I mean, everyone will know, they’ll know if you’re together, they’ll know if you’re not together.

Eddie: Ugh I know.

Dustin: You can’t just date Steve. When you’re with Steve, you’re with Steve. And if it doesn’t work out, it will be really bad for both of us. I mean, how do you feel about this? Do you want to be dating Steve?

Eddie: Okay, look. We’re getting ahead of ourselves here. I don’t even know if this is what he’s thinking. This could be a totally innocent situation and then we’ve done all this what-if’ing for nothing. Let’s just go in there and see if anything’s weird, okay?

Dustin: Okay.

-

Steve, who has been watching the entire conversation from inside: Everything okay?

Eddie: Yes. *said while suddenly stepping back and accidentally knocking over a glass gum ball machine. The glass shatters, sending gum balls everywhere as they disperse all over the floor.*

Steve: …I’ll get the broom.

Dustin: That was a little weird.

ST characters as Gilmore Girls scenes pt 5 :)

This one is from Season 4 episode 22 of GG. It was so Eddie and Dustin coded, I had to do it.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

I need Eddie and Will to bond over the fact that they are both queer in small-town Indiana. Eddie becoming somewhat of a mentor to Will, giving him advice on how to approach his crush on Mike and encouraging him to tell Mike about his feelings. (After listening to Mike go on and on about how great Will is at hellfire, Eddie has no doubts that Mike feels the same).

Eddie becomes even more enthusiastic when he starts dating Steve (who he had previously believed to be the straightest man in all of Indiana), telling Will “If even my annoying ass can get a man, your pure soul has nothing to worry about”.

After much encouragement and many pep talks, Will finally agrees to tell Mike about his feelings and ask him out (depending on how the whole admitting-he-has-a-crush-on-his-best-friend thing goes). His plan is to pull Mike aside at the movie night Steve is having at his house on Saturday.

When Saturday arrives, Will finds himself in the passenger seat of Eddie’s van, which has been parked outside of Steve’s house for the last ten minutes as he debates whether or not he should just ask Eddie to drive him back home. Eventually, his mental tennis match of leave-stay-leave-stay is interrupted by Eddie’s impatience.

Eddie: Byers, staring at the outside of Steve’s house for the last ten minutes has been great but did you know that it also has an inside?

Will:

Eddie: We could check it out sometime…sometime soon…like I’m talking in the near future…so near it’s basically the present…ok I’m going now-

Will: How do you do it?

Eddie: Huh?

Will: The whole ‘dating a guy’ thing. I mean I’ve watched you when you talk Steve. You have a comeback for everything, you make him laugh, you smile right.

Eddie: I smile right?

Will: And then you do that thing with your hair.

Eddie: Oh, you mean when I try to hide behind it?

Will: And then you walk away, and he just stands there, amazed, like he can’t believe what just happened.

Eddie: That’s because I just stole his wallet.

Will: I’ll never be able to do that. Boys? Dating? Forget it.

Eddie: Listen, I am not nearly as suave as you think I am but the talking part, you just get used to. The stealing-his-wallet thing, I can teach you. And the leaving-him-amazed part? With your kindness and killer brown eyes, I’m not worried. You’ll do fine. Just give yourself a little time to get there.

Will: Is a minute enough?

Eddie: Plenty. Come on now, hustle! We are thirty minutes late.

ST characters as Gilmore Girls scenes/dialogue pt 4.

This one is from season 1 episode 8 of GG. I could not resist using this dialogue for Eddie & Will because I think there is so much potential for a cool friendship between them :)

[ac0smicdanc3r]

When Steve moves out of his house to share an apartment with Eddie, his parents are far from enthused.

Despite seemingly never caring about what was going on in Steve’s life, they request he have weekly Friday night dinners at their house.

Tired of their manipulative ways, Steve accepts this request only on the condition that Eddie can come with him to these dinners. The Harringtons reluctantly accept. Weekly drama ensues.

On one particular Friday, Steve’s mother informs him that she has arranged for him to have weekly golfing lessons at the club with his father. This, of course, has been done totally without Steve’s permission. He knows it’s all part of their grand plan to prevent him from leaving their shallow world.

However, due to Steve and Eddie’s protests, (including Eddie’s dramatic addition that “I hardly ever see him and I live with him! Mrs Harrington, That’s how busy he is.”) the arrangement is changed from weekly to monthly lessons.

Regardless of their slight success, the pair leave the Harrington house in a stunned silence and begin walking up the path to Eddie’s van.

Eddie: Wow, so you were totally blindsided in there.

Steve: I know. Maybe it won’t be that bad.

Eddie: Maybe it won’t.

Steve: Maybe you could come with me?

Eddie: Oh! is there a “you’re crazy” team? Because I think they’d make you captain.

Steve: Please?

Eddie: Steve, I love you. I would take a bullet for you. But I’d rather stick something sharp in my ear then go clubbing with you.

Steve: Fine.

Eddie: I’d rather slide down a banister of razor blades and land in a pool of alcohol, then go to the club with you.

Steve: I got it.

Eddie: Don’t stop me I’m on a roll. Uh, I’d rather…eat my own hand, then go clubbing with you. Ooh- Id rather get my face surgically altered, to look like that lunatic rich lady with the lion head, then go to the club with you.

Steve: Would you like me to drive so you can continue?

Eddie: *Handing him the keys* Would you? Thanks. I’d rather cut off my own head and use it as a punch bowl, hah, then go to the club with you.

Another Steddie as Gilmore girls quotes/scenes :) This one is from GG season 1 episode 3.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

Eddie and Robin becoming friends pre-season 3 so when Robin gets a job at Scoops Ahoy, Eddie often shows up to chat with her, distract her from doing her job and to hassle her for free ice cream.

He absolutely does not show up to ogle at her hot coworker, non other than the former king of Hawkins high. No. Because that would be stupid. Harrington was a douchebag, and no amount of tight sailor shorts would change that. Right?

Much to Eddie’s misfortune, one day he arrives at scoops to find the place totally Robin-less. Doesn’t her shift usually start at two? He’s about to turn around, deciding that he’ll come back later, when he locks eyes with the incredibly bored-looking sailor behind the counter.

He could still leave. And pass up a perfectly good opportunity to see Harrington in that uniform piss Harrington off? Absolutely not.

At his best attempt to be an annoyance, Eddie practically bounds up to the counter, where an unamused Steve sighs and crosses his arms.

Steve: She’s not here yet

Eddie: Alright, you’ll have to entertain me until she arrives. Ok sailor boy, dance.

Steve: Will you marry me?

Eddie: …what?

Steve: Just looking for something to shut you up.

Eddie: You’d better be nice to me or you’ll lose a devoted paying customer.

Steve: Paying customer? Munson, you haven’t paid once.

Eddie: And I’d like to continue that streak, hand that ice cream over.

Steve: I can’t believe we keep allowing this. *Aggressive sigh* What flavour?

Eddie: Butterscotch :)

Robin: *running into the shop* So sorry I’m late, Ste- Oh you guys are getting along now?

Eddie: Hell yeah, he even proposed.

Steve: Hang on, it wasn’t like-

Robin: Did you say yes?

Since y’all liked the other Steddie as Gilmore Girls quotes I have made another one (I added some of my own dialogue to it). If I should do more of these please let me know because there are sooo many I’d love to do :)

This one was from GG season 1 episode 6 for anyone interested.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

Fruity four playing Wii bowling:

Nancy: Flawless technique. Has had practice from playing with Mike. Gets a strike or spare every time. Wins.

Robin: Watches Nancy intensely every turn. Uses the exact same technique. The ball goes in the gutter every time. Claims there is a problem with her Wii remote. Still manages to get second place.

Steve: Lets go of the bowling ball too early, every damn turn, making the Wii spectators do that little jump and “woaahhh” thing. Gets pissed that he’s losing. Says “if this was actual bowling I’d win easy”

Eddie: Is surprisingly not awful at something that could be considered to be a sport (barely). Gets too passionate and accidentally lets go of the whole Wii remote as he swings his arm forward, sending it flying into the tv. The tv survives. Doesn’t beat Robin but lords his petty victory over Steve “who’s the jock now?”

[ac0smicdanc3r]

Eddie getting out of Steve’s bed in the morning and sleepily going downstairs to get some coffee from the kitchen. He grabs Steve’s polo from the floor on his way and puts it on, his outfit now consisting of a preppy polo, that is unmistakably Steve’s, and his underwear.

As he rounds the corner to enter the kitchen, he is met with the sight of all six members of the party both sitting on and standing around the kitchen counter. It shouldn’t be surprising, the party hang out at Steve’s fairly often. The real mystery is how on earth they got in when Steve has been asleep all morning.

However, Eddie’s train of thought is cut short by the six pairs of wide eyes now staring at him. It’s then that he becomes aware of his appearance. So much for keeping his and Steve’s new relationship a secret.

The party stares at Eddie for a few seconds and he stares back. Without saying a word, he retreats back round the corner and up the stairs to Steve’s room. He stands at the foot of the bed where a half-asleep Steve peers up at him.

Eddie: Well, I think everyone’s gonna know.

Steve: What are you talking about? Why are you wearing my shirt?

Eddie: I put it on to go get coffee.

Steve: Downstairs?

Eddie: Yup.

Steve: But the whole party’s here…

Eddie: (sarcastically) You’re kidding!

Steve: You walked into the kitchen looking like that!?

Eddie: Yeah well, I didn’t think people could be in your house without you letting them in!

Steve: I gave Dustin my spare key, he can just let himself in.

Eddie: Oh he certainly did, just in time for the floor show.

Steve:

Steve: …maybe no one noticed?

Eddie: Look at me!

Steve: Okay yes, but you wear crazy outfits all the time

Eddie: They usually include pants.

Steve: Okay, so they know. So what? I mean, they’re gonna find out eventually, right?

Eddie: Right…so we’ll hear about it for a few days.

Steve: A few weeks.

Eddie: Six months of hearing about it, but then it’ll die down…so, okay, well, they know. It’s out.

Steve: It’s out.

Steve: …Where’s your coffee?

Eddie: *gestures to himself, still only wearing Steve’s polo and his underwear*

Steve: Oh, I’m getting your coffee.

Btw I cannot take credit for this hilarious dialogue, it’s a scene from season 5 episode 3 of Gilmore Girls where Lorelai walks into Luke’s diner wearing only his shirt, revealing their new relationship.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

Modern day Steddie go as Octavius and Jedediah from night at the museum for Halloween

Eddie as Octavius and Steve as Jedediah

That’s all I came here to say

[ac0smicdanc3r]

Remember how Nancy and Steve had weekly dinners with Barb’s parents in season 2?

I’m here to suggest Dustin and Steve having weekly dinners with Wayne. Regardless of whether Eddie is actually dead or not, I need more Wayne content.

If Eddie really is dead, I hate the idea of Wayne being suddenly alone and without a proper explanation as to what actually happened to Eddie. I think Dustin would hate this too. Wayne seems to already have an understanding that things are not quite right in Hawkins, so I would love for Dustin to eventually tell him the truth.

I also think Steve would go to the weekly dinners to support Dustin and make up for his reluctance towards the weekly dinners with Barb’s parents.

If Eddie is only assumed dead, maybe the weekly dinners are initially about finding comfort from the grief, however they gradually become about planning how to rescue Eddie from Vecna/the upside down as they realise he is still alive.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

If Steve dies in season 5 and Dustin is there as he is dying, I wonder if they’ll have a “you don’t need me anymore, I’ve done my job” “no I still need you” moment

Or maybe that is too cliche. Either way I’ll bawl my eyes out.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

My stupid headcanon is that Steve is the kinda person to accuse everyone in the room of sitting on the tv remote when he can’t find it. Like he makes them stand up and everything.

Steve, Eddie and Robin are watching tv and he realises he can’t see the remote anywhere so he starts accusing them of sitting on it and makes them stand up and check, all while being like “why are you guys laughing? It’s not funny, I need to find it”

Eddie and Robin are laughing because it’s in Steve’s hand.

The remote is in his hand.

He hasn’t realised yet.

They continue searching for it for a good fifteen minutes, just seeing how long it takes for Steve to notice. When they need to lift the couch to look under it, Steve’s like “hang on, I can help you lift it - I just need to put the remote down…oh….oh shit”

Eddie and Robin literally collapse on the floor, howling with laughter and Steve just turns around, walks out the back door into the woods surrounding his house and does not come back for ten minutes.

Once the two inside finally calm down, Eddie turns to Robin,

“wait is he okay though? He’s kinda been gone a while.”

“Oh trust me he’s fine. Probably walking-off the embarrassment. Gotta be one with nature for a while after that humbling experience.”

[ac0smicdanc3r]

I desperately need a Steddie Drop Dead Fred au where ghost!eddie is Fred and Steve is Elizabeth

Eddie is such a menace, I just know he would love messing with Steve. And Steve thinks he’s going a little crazy but is also learning to loosen up a bit.

[ac0smicdanc3r]

Anyone watched The 100? Because these two are soooo Steddie coded:

There are some pretty good parallels between Eddie and Emori, like Emori being an outcast from her own society, who must constantly be suspicious of others and ready to defend herself as she can never fully trust that people are on her side.

For Eddie, these self defence reflexes manifest through the way he makes his otherness and place as an outcast known to others before they get the chance to outcast him themselves.

Murphy having this crazy redemption arc and being labelled as a ‘survivor’ of everything, although never really being able to escape his past as ‘the bad guy’ definitely reminds me of someone.

And cos I love some angst, this scene says it all:

This scene of Murphy and Emori really makes me think about why I find Eddie and Steve’s dynamic so interesting and why I think it works so well. Emori’s lack of self worth, despite being quite outwardly confident about her otherness, is for sure giving me Eddie vibes.

Despite taking a lot of pride in his ‘freak’ persona, Eddie’s got some serious self-worth issues. To me, it absolutely seems like he felt as though he had to sacrifice himself in order to be of worth to the group and to ‘make things right’. He assumed he would only matter to them if he could be the hero.

For Murphy, his love for Emori really influences his decisions and view of life in general. This reminds me of the way Steve becomes entirely devoted to the people he cares about and is willing to do just about anything for them, even if this means he has to change himself and his opinions.

Steve, in a way, seems to derive his self worth from how well he can please others. His opinions and feelings are so easily influenced by the company he keeps. This, for me, best explains his feelings for Nancy in season 4. I genuinely believe his love for Nancy is nothing more than platonic, but hearing the opinions of Dustin, Robin and Eddie had him second guessing this. Their advice and opinions are what matter the most to him and I wonder if this is because he doesn’t trust his own decision-making skills enough.

Ok the original point of this post kinda escaped me but these were just some of my thoughts. I would love to hear other takes on this too :)
