so steve. steve harrington. before this week i knew NOTHING about stranger things BUT in 2019 i decided to watch the coming out clip bc it was all over the internet. i have since watched all seasons and never, would i have EVER thought, that steve from the coming out bathroom scene was once the king of his high school. like the sailor outfit. beaten up (idk why he was beaten up but whatever). a nice guy accepting of lgbtqi+?? and if that doesn’t tell you how amazing steve’s character development is, then idk what does.

also it just hit me that steve is meant to be 19??? like sometimes i was like, why is this man such an idiot and childish (in a loving way ofc) but he’s literally 19, a few years older than the kids. like obvs joe keery was late 20s when filming so he looks like a mature adult and pulls it off but steve is literally 19. born in 2002/3 if he was modern day. just graduated from high school. my age. risked his life multiple times to save a bunch of 14 year olds. so i really think that attests to his character.

as you can tell i love steve harrington

It downed on me during that scene when Steve realizes something's off about Max and runs up the hill that he has probably been the most reliable grown up male figure in Max's entire life. Let that sink in.

He's always watching over and being stern with her because he knows she can be even more reckless than the rest, since limits haven't been properly taught to her by adults. She has had to be the adult of her house and has forgotten how to be a carefree kid. But Steve is all "Nh-huh, no, you stay put kid." (Exactly as he does with Dustin.) Which is probably why when she stares at Steve for me is a sign that she has come to admire him/trust him as a reliable "adult". (He isn't an adult either but you guys get what I mean.)

Then there's Dustin, you can see how much he trusts Steve not only because of how he always goes to him for help or how he blatantly talks to him as if Steve had his age (when you feel comfortable around someone you totally forget age differences) but also when Steve dives in to the lake, Dustin doesn't panic. He gets worried, yes, but doesn't panic and says "Come on Steve", trusting that he'll resurface.

And Lucas! When Steve ran towards Max he didn't follow him, and we know Lucas cares a whole lot about Max, but still trusted Steve to check on her.

Who else has come to trust Steve? Robin, Nancy and Eddie, obviously. You can see it in how they let him dive in without arguing and even more when they're in the Upside Down. There's a moment when the second round of demobats appears that Robin and Eddie rush to get behind Steve and then there's a shot of the 3 of them slightly behind Steve. They trust Steve with their safety.

All of them trust Steve with their safety.

Let that sink in too.

i admitted to my co worker that i’ve only seen like 5 times that i basically started watching stranger things bc i thought steve was hot

[for-gwaine]

do i watch films and tv shows because i think an actor is attractive? yes. does that make me a slut? probably yes.

the way i fell in love with nancy wheeler after she said she could use the shotgun in the last episode of stranger things season 2 😍

I love that Viktor's coming out was essentially just

Viktor: I talked to Marcus

Five: you're an idiot, Vanya

Viktor: it's Viktor

Five: oh okay

Five: you're an idiot, Viktor

the umbrella academy is right. the only time it’s acceptable to deadname someone is if you missed the fact that they came out as trans in the first place because you’d been kidnapped by the children your father replaced you with.

Have you seen the trailer? I don't usually find monkeys hot for obvious reasons, but Pogo on the hand...🥵Do you know anything to read? Preferably something Pogo-centric?

Here's something you can read

idk if this is a new take and i don’t really know how to articulate my words but here goes:

i’m so glad heartstopper isn’t a drama?? like i was totally expecting someone from school seeing charlie and nick kissing at the arcade or something and i was so surprised that didn’t happen??? like this is a genuine teen love story and i love it.

Viktor: I ended the world twice, you're just meat in spandex

Marcus: I just asked what your pronouns are I-
