eddie comes out as transgender and steve looks him up and down before saying, "you look like a human to me." (he heard transformer)

people thinking robin used this whiteboard as some weird way to flirt with steve at the start of season three when in actuality she was a lesbian with no interest and did it solely to be an asshole and point out how bitchless he is

older eddie renting out a room in his house to college students with purely innocent intentions and college student steve renting eddie's room with purely nefarious intentions

eddie just wants to help out because he knows some people can't afford housing so he puts comfy furniture, a mini fridge, and a microwave in the room and posts about it on facebook, only asking for a couple hundred a month at best and for the student to not trash his house. steve doesn't care about the comfy furniture or the mini fridge or the microwave or the cheap rent. he sees eddie's profile picture and decides it is now his life's mission to gag on that man's dick.

eddie doesn't even consider that steve might be flirting with him for like two months because he truly is not renting his room out so he can have sex with college students. that idea is absurd. yeah, steve is a little touchy but whatever. some people just like to touch. so eddie is entirely oblivious that steve is flirting but he's very nice and charming and steve thinks he's flirting back so he makes a move and eddie is like "WOAH WOAH WOAH steve what are you doing" and steve is like "??? making a move?" and eddie sits on the couch with his head in his hands just contemplating everything and after a long while of silence he finally looks up at steve and says "i'm not a creep. i don't sleep with college students" and steve smiles and bats his eyes and says "i can change that" and eddie gets a boner and promptly freaks out because steve is too young he's practically a baby but steve is over there biting his lip trying to look all seductive and eddie is thinking "lord help me" because it's working. steve is too good at this.

eventually eddie caves and tells steve they can have sex ONE time and that's IT because surely that will either cure steve's horniness or make him see that eddie isn't worth it.

they fuck nasty at least three times a day after that.

obsessed with the idea of messy frat boy steve harrington who’s a little (read: a lot) in love with his drug dealer.

the mysterious lanky dude who goes by ed is the go-to dealer for all of the houses on frat row. steve’s frats version of hazing is making the freshers buy the party favors from the quirky dealer dude because he likes to mess with them and have them do stupid shit or go on wild goose chases. if eddie’s feeling generous, instead of cash, in exchange for some of the cheaper and more…recreational drugs, he makes freshies do silly things like sing him the national anthem in a british accent or bring him a box of lucky charms with only the marshmallows. the frat guys always get a kick out of it, and love seeing what he’ll make the freshman do each year.

when steve rushes and gets into his frat, the upperclassmen obviously choose steve to retrieve the drugs for their first party of the year—expecting ed’s to take the piss and make a fool of him.

but when steve meets up with him at the picnic tables behind the woods on frat row, all eddies plans of making a fool of this freshman go out the window. he layssss on the flirting and basically lets steve rob him blind by giving him the drugs on a mega discount.

steve awkwardly attempts to flirt back, but honestly thinks this ed’s guy is making fun of him and is waiting for the other shoe to drop and for the dealer to make fun of him or yell out “PRANKED” and laugh at him. but that doesn’t happen.

he ends up leaving the picnic table with a new contact: “ed 🖤🚬” that the long haired dealer put into steve’s phone himself. and his deep letterman pockets full of drugs.

he smiles the entire way back to his frat house and all the upperclassman beg him to tell his tale. they think ed’s made him do something superrr embarrassing because steve is really vague with his response, just being like ‘oh we just chatted, ya know’

after their first meeting, steve always volunteers to go do the deal pick ups or invite eddie via text to their house parties to sell.

the frat brothers are chill and eventually pick up on his crush on ed, but they don’t say anything to either of them and watch it like reality tv. it gets so bad that they start placing bets and make a ‘you rule/you suck’ chart after sorority president robin buckley wrote it on their chore whiteboard at a party one night. steve keeps asking what the chart is referring to but his frat brothers keep making up new and absurd reasonings so he eventually just gives up on asking and accepts he’s out of the loop.

essentially, steve is obsessed with eddie and eddie is obsessed with steve but neither of them realize the other is into them. frat and college chaos and shenanigans ensue.

you guys are so fucking stupidddd omg "rapists and pedophiles should be chemically castrated, this is a good thing" quick tell me about historical precedents of this idea and who or what ideology they are connected to......... 🤔

[cringevalue]

obsessed with the idea that as soon Steve Harrington realizes that he is bi he skips over the internalized homophobia and the denial and goes straight (not! lol) to boyfriend. He tells Robin he has a crush on Eddie while he drives her to school in the morning and by the time they have their shift in the afternoon he is already Wayne's son in law. He gets over the whole crisis stuff in like 5 mins and panics instead over where he will take Eddie on their first date. He realized he really wants to run his hands through Eddie's hair (in a gay way) and half an hour later he already has his tongue down his throat.

Dustin, during the two-hour car ride with Steve: You have to ask Robin out! She’s awesome! She’s great!

Steve: Stop. I’m not dating Robin. Cut it out. We’re Platonic friends—with a capital P.

Dustin: But whyyy?!

Steve: Okay, that’s it. I… I like someone else.

Dustin: Awesome! Who is she? Ask her out! Come on!

Steve: I can’t.

Dustin: Sure you can! Who is she?

Steve: I can’t…

Dustin, for the next 30 minutes: Who is she? Who is she? Who is she?

Steve, finally snapping: EDDIE! It’s EDDIE, okay? Now stop. And I can’t ask him out.

Dustin, without missing a beat: Cool! Eddie’s cool. Just don’t do it on Thursday—we’ve got a game.

Steve, spiraling: I… wait… you… sorry, what? Please don’t tell Eddie. Please. Why are you reacting like this? I like Eddie. He’s a guy. Isn’t that… weird?

Dustin, absolutely floored: Steve. We’ve been to the Upside Down. We’ve fought Russians. Mind control. Interdimensional hell. Kids with psychic powers used as weapons. And you think this is the weird part? Dude, are you okay?

Steve: ...

Dustin, for the rest of the ride: You gotta ask Eddie out! He’s awesome! He’s great!

I’d like to present: Steve does think he deserves love

Steve thinks he deserves it so much and is hungry for it so much that he’s going on a bunch of dates pre-season 4. He’s dating so much Robin can’t keep track because of its labyrinthine complexity.

Steve’s not scared/hesitant/anxious to be loved, he’s craving it. He’s a desperate bitch about it. He’s walking around Hawkins like “will you love me? What about you?”

He’s searching so hard that he thinks his ex girlfriend might be a viable option for a moment. Y’know the ex girlfriend who drunkenly admitted she never loved him even when he loved her. He just wants to feel what he thought she gave him. Can you imagine how much better it would feel of it was real?

Our boy isn’t scared our boy is horny for it.

I love the “Steve has good parents, they’re just not on camera.”

Steve’s dad walks in on Eddie and Steve making out, both shirtless. Eddie freaks the fuck out and Steve just sheepishly smiles at his father.

“I know I told you not to lock your door, but I take that back because I don’t want to see that again.”

“Thanks Dad!”

“Use protection!”

…

He walks into a house full of random children. The kids and Steve’s dad are just staring at each other.

“You’re paying to feed these kids, right?”

“No, you are.”

“Well shit.”

“Language, there are children!”

“Do I get to know these children who I have financially adopted?”

…

Hopper, who is over at the Harrington house to speak to Steve. Mr Harrington walks in to see the chief of police sitting on his couch. He sees Steve in the kitchen and quickly makes his way over.

“Steve! What is the chief of police doing here?”

“He’s a family friend.”

“What family?” Mr Harrington snaps back, gesturing at himself.

“He’s my friend?”

“I don’t see a world where you randomly become friends with the chief of police”

“I got caught with drugs?”

“Then why isn’t he arresting you?” Mr Harrington points to Steve’s cuff-less wrists.

“Can’t tell you?”

“Why?”

“I signed an NDA?”

“Steve, why the fuck would you do that? I’m a lawyer, you don’t just sign NDAs at a whim.”

“To be completely fair, I was concussed every time or they used a friend to threaten me.”

“It shouldn’t stand up in court then. Who did you sign it for?”

“The US government.”

“Fuck.”

i love eddie definitely not *liking* steve, not hating him but in no way wanting to be his friend when they finally meet and steve’s just super fucked up, either drugged out or beaten within an inch of his life and eddie’s like “well. fuck. i can’t just leave him alone!” and therefore adopts THEE steve harrington, king of hawkins, v much against his will

[cringevalue]

It’s very funny if Steve befriends a hellfire member and it’s just…not Eddie.

Like, Steve gets the shit kicked out of him, comes back to school, and immediately gets partnered up with Jeff in their personal finance class.

And…honestly, this is kinda nice for Jeff.

He only took this elective because it wasn’t a gym class. Steve is actually pretty knowledgeable about this stuff and when he isn’t, he asks his dad. Their fake business is out preforming everybody else’s.

Then the project is over and Steve….Just doesn’t go away. He’s sitting next to him in class. He’s following out into the hallway. He’s talking to him about sports, and then once he realizes Jeff doesn’t know anything about sports starts asking him questions so he’s the one talking.

It’s weird. It’s really weird but so far, it’s only been confined to the hallway between Mr. Sinnett’s classroom and Jeff’s locker.

But today.

Today, he’s coming up to him in the lunch line and asking if he wants to come over to watch a movie this evening, and like, “It’s fine if you’re busy. My parents are out of town and like, I’m free after I drop my friend off at the Snowball.”

“Isn’t the Snowball a middle school dance?”

“Yeah.”

And now Steve is following him. To his table. With his friends. Who decidedly don’t know about this - whatever this is thing is going on with Steve. Who are watching them right now. Jeff is just like, “I’ll think about it.”

“Cool! Let me know before the end of the day so I can be ready,” Steve says with a big smile, shooting him finger guns as he leaves.

Jeff finished walking to his table and when he sits down, Eddie asks in a voice that’s going to be killing off his characters in the next ten D&D campaigns, “What was that about?”
