"Steve Harrington, in my van." He lets out a surprised laugh, one hand on the stiring wheel, other resting on the stick shift. His eyes are on the road but he has this shocked smile on his face, kinda like - "never thought I'd see the day."

Yeah, kinda like that.

Steve lets out a snort. "You say that like it's something you've thought about a lot, Munson."

Eddies eyes cut over to him for a brief second, and when they land back on the road his smile has softend to something Steve doesn't want to name. "Maybe I have."

Steve: Goodnight kids.

Kids: Goodnight dad.

Steve: Goodnight monster that eats children who are bad.

Eddie: [Through radio under bed] GOODNIGHT.

the lack of solidarity between celebs and the general population on palestine makes me want to never support any of their causes... like ever. which sucks because I know that the point of the strikes between SAG and corporations were to protect many people, not just huge celebrities. but the faces of the strikes WERE big celebrities and now im just like fuck you and fuck your cause because you didn't give a fuck about mine. the level of which they truly did not give a single thought about us during this whole genocide is just too.. disgusting to me

this is also true for musicians like beyonce and taylor swift.

masturbation is evil not for any puritan anti-fun reason but because it has permanently claimed so many verbs

So I binged the entirety of How To Build a Sex Room last night and this one scene just cracked me up

The designer's at a western leather/tack store looking for supplies to make a rustic-style sex swing and turns to one of the store employees for advice, which initially goes about as amusingly as you would expect

So then she pulls up some pictures to give him an idea of what she needs

And he's Immediately like

The professional disgust, I'm living

my toxic trait is being fervently convinced that if i ever came across a dragon irl we would make eye contact and understand each other at a primal level of transcendental trust instead of charring me into a crispy onion

eddie wakes steve up in the morning by holding his face and kissing his nose, sort of bc it's a gentle wake up that doesn't startle or panic steve, but mostly bc he likes the little nose scrunch yawn steve does

Glasses people love to make you try their glasses on to see how fucked up their eyes are. It's a sign of respect in their culture.

It's rantin' time! That lovely time when your favorite neighborhood steddie author flies off the handle.

Today I want to talk about the physicality of one Edward Munson and how the fan seems to have veered completely off the map.

The fannish notion that Eddie is weak, uninterested in the outdoors, and is clumsy.

But I've never seen anything that suggests any of that.

As always, headcanon what you want. I'm not say you can't say any of these things are what you think he's like, but this is me expressing my confusion because I haven't seen the evidence myself.

Let's start with the one that confuses me the most. That he's clumsy.

We see him leap onto lunch tables and off again without stumbling. We see him jump down off of Skull Rock and land neatly on his feet. We see him climb up the tree in the Upside Down and then safely get back down. All things that require a certain amount of grace.

The only time we see him stumble is when he's joking around with Chrissy or when the earthquake happens.

Admittedly he does have that weird loping run, but not always.

So where does this come from? My guess is that BTS of Joe Quinn tripping over the vine, and people who have only seen the gifs think that he's like that all the time?

This next point bleeds into the notion that he's weak (noodle arms etc.) and that's when he manages to pull himself up using the rope ladder to get out of the Upside Down.

He flops onto the mattress but it looks like he planned it that way as he grins and says that was fun. But to get to that point, he had to climb up the rope ladder.

Now before you tell me that it was adrenaline, he wasn't in immediate danger. He was motivated, sure. But no amount of motivation would get me up that ladder because I've never had the arm strength for it. But next to Steve he looks like he went up the easiest.

The next piece of evidence that people will blame on adrenaline is pinning Steve to the wall of the boathouse and that he had the element of surprise. Yeah...no. He pushes Steve several feet before they hit the wall.

Then there is the hauling of the metal sheets that him and Dustin use to armor the trailer so the demobats don't get in. They can't have been light.

Or grabbing both Mike AND Dustin by the scruff of their necks and yanking them to their feet. Which the average persons couldn't do. One of them, maybe, but both? Takes some serious strength.

Another nod to his endurance at the very least is how he's sitting, crouched, butt above the ground when he's talking to them at Skull Rock. He sits like that the whole time.

I would say that his strength isn't more or less than Steve's only different with the different muscles that they use.

Finally we have a hatred of the outdoors.

He falls into the lake, swims to shore, survives the cold March night wet, manages to find a new walkie talkie and water canteen, gets to Skull Rock and radios the Party. All without a compass, by the way.

He also knows where War Zone is. None of the rest of the Party knows where to go to stock up, but he does.

I'm betting that Wayne took him hunting and fishing as a kid. Back then those were things that you could do fairly cheaply and often food was brought back with them from such trips.

Eddie knows how to survive in the wilderness. Whether or not he likes it, I suppose is entirely up to you, but the evidence suggests that he doesn't mind it.
