In a Hopper Adopted Steve But They’re Both Chronic Under-Sharers So No One Knows About It AU.

Steve is mad at Hopper for pursuing a relationship with the mom of the guy that his girlfriend cheated with (Hopper doesn’t know this. Steve didn’t tell him). Since Hopper is pissing Steve off, Steve is going to piss him off and he knows just the way.

“Munson!”

Eddie has just barely sat down, has barely opened his mouth to speak when Steve shouts his name. Eddie looks and Steve is walking over to the Hellfire table and -

“What did you do?!” Jeff asks at the same time Gareth questions, “Are you going to get beat up??”

Eddie doesn’t even have time to roll his eyes at them before Steve is up in his space, looking at him like he expects him to read his mind, “What?”

“You’re queer, right?”

That’s not a question you fucking ask in the middle of the goddamn cafeteria and Eddie hisses that sentiment at Steve. He rolls his eyes, “Are you or not?”

“What’s it matter to you?”

“You are, good,” Steve nods. “Wanna come over after school and make out?”

Eddie asks, “…What?”

Hellfire asks, “…What?”

Steve rolls his eyes like it’s annoying to have to explain shit, “I’m trying to piss off my dad. You in or not?”

Eddie’s in.

He’s so in. He’s in Steve’s bed, actually. With the door shut and music on. With Steve pushing his hands down lower on his hips and telling him to give him a hickey.

It’s great.

Eddie’s in heaven and then the chief of police walks into the room, and turns out.

This is hell.

Conversation happening in the back of Hopper’s truck:

Hopper has told them to sit there and be quiet no less than three times when he hears Steve (age 6) softly say, “Ow.”

He looks in his rearview and sees Wayne Munson’s demon nephew (age 7) leaning into Steve’s space with a grin on his face. He tells Eddie to get in his own seat and then looks back at the road.

They’re nearly to Forest Hill. Thank god.

“How come you always bite me?” Steve asks whispering the loud way that kid’s don’t.

Eddie responds back, “Cause I like you.”

“Oh.”

“You can bite me back,” Eddie tells him. When Hopper looks in the mirror again, Eddie has his hand held out to Steve, “If you like me back.”

Hopper looks back at the road, eying a squirrel looking like it’s about to run out in front of him. He doesn’t see it but he hear Steve say, “Your hand taste like dirt!”

“Yeah,” Eddie replies. “I was playin’ in the dirt.”

Any Hopper Adopts Steve As A Kid AU retroactively makes season one so funny.

Like, imagine being Hopper and having to deal with this government conspiracy shit, and thinking, “at least my kid isn’t wrapped up in this.”

And then you find out that not only is your kid involved but he didn’t have to be. He could have left but chose to throw himself back into danger.

Also you have another daughter now.

A reminder that Jazwares CEO - the company behind toy brands like Kellytoy, Squishmallows, Bum Bumz, Hello Kitty, Pokemon (in North America), Nerf, and many others - is a staunch supporter of Israel, with half of their recent intern cohort from Reichman University being called back to fight in the IOF. Not only this, but he and his wife Laura are working with the organization known as Brothers For Life that gives aid to Israeli soldiers, as well as supporting the infamous Canary Mission, which is responsible for doxxing pro-Palestinian students.

Buying new Jazwares products is going towards a CEO who supports genocide, please continue to boycott Jazwares brands and seek out alternative brands or strictly buy from secondhand sources when looking for new gifts for yourself or your loved ones. Do not continue to put money in Jazwares's pockets.

excuse me, i'm borrowing a work laptop and there's a wall to stop me from going to gaming sites. do you or anyone else have any suggestions to bypass the wall?

I would strongly recommend not trying to get around blocking rules on your work laptop because your work is almost certainly logging what happens on the laptop; if they check those logs at the very least you will no longer be allowed to borrow the laptop, and possibly you won't continue to have a work to borrow a laptop from.

Also, depending on how huge a deal anyone wants to make of this, it may be actually illegal to do this on someone else's computer (and even if they lent it to you, that is their computer, and what you are discussing is sometimes described as "unauthorized access" and is a no-shit crime; people also don't think that logging into an ex's email that they had the password to is a crime - it is. Don't do this shit)

You can do whatever you want on your own computer and your own network. If you are on somebody else's computer you have to follow their rules. This is annoying, but unless you are certain that you are good enough to do this in a way that will be completely undetectable to your employer, you shouldn't do this.

If you work someplace that provides you a computer for work, you should ONLY use that computer for work. Assume that your boss can see everything that you do on that work computer and act accordingly.

I may have ended up going into tech, but getting a pre-law degree and working for attorneys for a few years repeatedly saved me from getting totally ripped off in my early 20s. So many charlatans are only able to get away with their bullshit because they expect you to not know what your rights are or how to create a paper trail.

I once had a landlord try to withhold my entire security deposit after I moved out despite leaving the place in good shape. Just by writing a letter that A) cited the state statute saying a landlord must provide an itemized list with invoices for any repairs they deduct from a tenant’s security deposit, B) bluffed by declaring my intention to file suit if they did not (and cited the same statute again, which says that tenants are entitled to recover DOUBLE what the landlord withheld if they did so in bad faith) , and C) sending it via certified mail with return receipt (so they couldn’t claim not to have received it), they sent me back a check for like 2/3 of what they tried to withhold, plus the itemized list, plus an apology. I spent $2 on postage and half an hour on the letter and got back $300.

Another time, I got into a car accident (in which I was officially found not at fault) where the other person was driving a rental car. Over a year after the fact, I received a letter from some sketchy claims adjuster demanding immediate payment for around $2000 in damages to the other car. Once I stopped panicking, I gathered the info from my old insurance claim and called the adjuster, and some very snippy lady told me the letter was sent in error and I should disregard it. I followed up with her by email restating exactly what she told me on the phone, instructing them to work with my insurance company on any future inquiries about the accident, and threatening to involve my attorney (which I did not have) if they ever directly contacted me about it again. And again, I got an apology and saved myself a crazy amount of money.

If you are getting ripped off (or sense you are about to be), you want to ask yourself two things:

1. Can I indisputably prove that I said/did this? That they said/did this? When?

2. What rights do I have under the law? (For a lot of issues, googling “can X legally do Y” + your jurisdiction is a good place to start.)

And then, if you’re in the right, bluff. Act like you’re going to sue even if you know you don’t have the time or resources to do it. They don’t know you won’t, and even if they think they’d win, they know that would cost them more in attorney’s fees than just letting this go.

Steve Harrington on a bike. Eddie, Nancy & Robin are there too.

Eddie: *breaks into the biggest house in Loch Nora to steal their shit*

Eddie: *sees wallpaper so ugly that he stays to confront the owners about it*

Steve:

Steve: Okay, but you broke into my house.

Eddie: We’re not discussing that right now.

Fic where Eddie swears Hopper must have a sixth sense about him interacting with Steve. Every time he starts thinking that Steve’s questioning his sexuality enough to want to experiment, Hopper shows up and ruins the fun.

It gets to a point.

Eddie’s dealing out the back of Tina’s kitchen pantry and Steve is the only one in there with him, high and standing too close. He’s got a dream sort of cross-faded look to him and his eyes keep flickering to Eddie’s lips when - “Let’s break it up, boys.”

Hopper is standing in the now open doorway and Eddie blurts out his frustration like, “Stop being a cock block. I’m trying to get laid.”

“Dude,” Steve says. “That’s my dad.”

here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴‍☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too

Corroded Coffin guitarist, Eddie Munson, posts to his socials, “Just found out that my uncle thought I was bullied in school. When I asked why he thought that, he said: well look at ya.”

He followed it up with a post that said, “I was NOT bullied in school btw.”

This, in itself, was a hit in the fandom but it breaks containment to the wider internet when some rando named Steve comments like, “Um. Yes u were. I bullied u.”

Eddie responded back, “That was flirting.”

And then two weeks later, the rando from the internet can be seen in the bed behind Eddie in a random mirror selfie he posted.

One October night, Hellfire decides to go ghost hunting. The target is a house long rumored to be haunted, the goal is half hazing the new fish, half scoping out the attic for a Halloween one shot.

The Party, as said new fish, aren't happy about it, but given they're getting mocked by the elder Hellfire members (and having faced down actual monsters) they're quick to get on board.

Even if Lucas and Dustin have a brief argument over whether ghosts exist before they commit.

("Come on Dustin, we know things are real, why are we tempting fate!?" Lucas hissed, having dragged them into a corner of the drama room, somewhat out of earshot of the elder club members.

Dustin pointed at him, finger nearly brushing Lucas's nose. "Exactly! We know what is real and what isn't--and ghost are firmly in the 'isn't' category!"

"And how do we know that?"

"Guys" Mike breaks in with an annoyed scoff, "Eddie is making fun of us again, I can see him pretending to be Dustin from here."

"Goddammit--come on, we're going or they're going to call us chickens for life."

"I would be proud to be a chicken," Lucas muttered, "if it meant I didn't get haunted.")

Thing is, between Lucas's paranoia and Dustin's general inability to keep his mouth shut, Steve finds out.

(Steve, who just might be the original source of the rumor about the house being haunted, and who equally thinks this entire situation is fucking hilarious.)

That said, the brats need a lift, and Steve's not too keen on them running around in an abandoned house with the local drug dealer, so he uses his powers as The Party's Adult (tm) to tag along with Robin.

This greatly pisses off Eddie, but Steve's having too much fun playing ghost hunter to care--until the two of them fall down and get locked into the basement together.

And there's shit in the basement.

Locked filing cabinets Eddie breaks into out of sheer boredom, that have titles that look far too familiar to Steve.

There's some empty vials, the kind that he slowly realizes he's only familiar with if they're filled with something green.

There's also a chair, with some handcuff's, and seriously suspicious stains on the floor, and maybe the fucking house isn't haunted, but Steve's memory sure is.

Eddie isn't Robin, Eddie isn't even Steve's friend, but Steve is now up in his space anyway, and Eddie, well.

He's never been one who could turn away from someone in need.

Even if that person is Harrington.

(Especially if that person is a Harrington who grabbed his hand and is now refusing to let go of it.)
