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?”

Art for Phazes written by the amazing @alwaysurvalentine and beta-ed by @kayleeofcamelot ❤️

We were team #005 for @eddiemunsonbigbang this year! It was fun to explore this universe where Eddie opens a queer Burlesque club💃 enter new bartender Steve who's just trying his best and... the rest you can read on AO3! But here's a snippet:

"They need the help. If she wants to give this guy a chance, why not? Eddie’s sure that he isn’t going to last the night, let alone an hour in their club. Phazes is open to everyone, which means sometimes they see bankers just out of work, and other times they see couples in full leather harnesses."

I want to nominate hawkinsleather (on Tumblr and Bsky) for their art!

Some of the pieces I really love by them - https://www.tumblr.com/hawkinsleather/769804322781511680/hi-its-my-version-of-fae-daddy-eddie-from?source=share; https://www.tumblr.com/hawkinsleather/763350765646561280/p-is-for-pumpkin-bong?source=share; https://www.tumblr.com/hawkinsleather/755198310866993152/stevieweek-day-two-gender-euphoria?source=share

I love that their art style is so unique and colorful! The faces always look so cool. Also love the frequent trans rep.

Questions for them - what is some inspiration for your style of art? who's your fave ST character to draw? have you done art in any other fandoms?

This week, we're highlighting @hawkinsleather!

Here's the pieces that @fkinkindagauche highlighted. Their art tag is here

see the original post here, here, and here HawkinsLeather answered some questions about their creative process and inspiration under the cut

Why Stranger Things?

i could talk about how i’ve been faithfully watching the show from the start, like i think i watched it the day it came out. rewatch every new season and so on, but let’s be honest, the reason is Eddie Munson. that’s why i got involved instead of just watching the show like a normal person. but i genuinely have loved the show from the start cos it’s that 50 shades of brown real 80’s, and i was actually alive in the 80s so i vaguely remember that and recognise stuff despite not being american. we often joke that it was still the 80s in like 1995 in finland where i grew up.

Who's your fave ST character to draw?

it’s that bitch Eddie Munson. they say that artists should find a blorbo to draw a million times and he’s that guy. I do try to draw other things too but i keep going back to him. and Steve with his huge square head. there’s a reason why I draw them a lot. but i've also found myself drawing a fair amount of Carol Perkins. i have a secret stash of unpublished Carol art because it's for something that's currently on hold. her hair is just… fun! 

What's your typical drawing process like? Are there any tools you like to use?

the process is: i have a stupid idea, find a reference, do a crude doodle, draw over it again and again until it stops sucking, have a meltdown and cigarette, redraw the hair at like 5 times and have a crisis about whether it’s gonna be all pink again haha.  i use procreate. i have a go to brush but it changes about every four months, but at the moment i’m obsessed with chromagraph pencil brush from true grit texture supply that i got in their black friday sale. i very much take advantage of any free sampler sets that brush designers/companies have available. (retro supply also has a good sampler set)

What has been your favorite project so far? Why?

i think my favourite is the page i made for Transger Things zine back in 2023, i rammed so much detail into that bad boy and i was really happy with how it turned up and i bet you won’t notice all the references or silly things i included. i'm also really proud of what i drew for Sapphic Things zine, it's similarly busting with details, i just like doing that. that's why i give Eddie so many silly tattoos and then curse myself when i have to draw them again and his limbs are in awkward positions and it's hard. i do have a ’my personal favourites’ tag on my tumblr for my favourite pieces.

What has been your hardest project so far? Why?

there’s a lot of things i’ve abandoned cos they’re not working but i don’t think those count. there is a Tom of Finland inspired piece i’ve been working on since probably early 2023 and it’s working but i’ve also not had enough practice in certain things so i’ve not managed to finish it but i also refuse to give up or half ass it cos it’s important to me. i was just thinking about picking it up again once i’ve finished my stommy bang fic, as a treat.

Have you ever had a creative block? How did you get over it?

oh god all the time, but usually it’s a few days of bad mental health or task paralysis and then i’m back but… you know what. actually i think i might be in a bit if a block right now cos i feel like i've not finished a single thing this year (but maybe there's like one) i'm still figuring out how to actually get out. it'll just happen on it's own, i gotta trust the process no matter how slow and annoying it is.

What is some inspiration for your style of art?

This is weird but the original inspiration to my art style was the doodles in the cover booklet for le tigre’s self titled album all the way from 1999. i remember getting my copy and thinking they were neat and i just started giving all my drawings that weird nose and the big eyes, i think even the hair. i've made all of those elements more mine over the years but that’s how that started. i’ve tried drawing normal noses too but it’s just more fun this way! though side profiles are a nightmare! unfortunately i think i’ve lost my copy over the years and you can’t find good quality pictures online. (ps. listen to deceptacon!) punk music and zines have just in general always been a big influence on everything i do, i’ve been making zines since the late 90s so it makes sense. other things: moomins, other children’s illustrations, vintage ads, album art, horror movies and old b-movies. oh and straight up vintage pornography.

Have you done art in any other fandoms?

not really. this is kind of the only fandom i’ve been properly involved in since the early 2000s when i was involved in some livejournal fanfic communities i don't want to mention by name but if you’re that curious you can find crumbs in my ao3. THOUGH i did edit a Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer a few years back and i drew a couple of things for it including her sick af dagger. so i guess that counts?

Is there an upcoming project you're particularly excited about?

i always have a gazillion WIPs on the go, but i'm just adding finishing touches to my stommy mini bang fic which is exciting, cos i'm usually on the artist side and it's been fun! i've also been organising the bang. it's only little but we've had fun and i'm really proud of what we've been up to 💘 i'm also doing steddie bingo this year and it's my first time doing a bingo. i'm also cooking up something secret maybe with one of my past bang collaborators and i'm helping with Stranger Things March Mating Madness and Stranger Tales. and i've signed up to Steve Harrington bang and I'm sure ill do too many bangs again and I'm also doing some art for the Steddie Classic Art Zine 😅 always doing too much.  oh yeah and Sapphic Things zine is currently in production, not sure when the pre-orders for that will be opening. i'm really looking forward to people seeing it.

Is there anything we didn't ask that you'd like to add?

idk but i suppose i should promo myself a bit and tell you where you can find me / support me if you so wish, including financially:

Sooooo.... I saw THAT photo of David Harbor in a skirt and I had to draw Eddie. Eddie is being slutty at Steve's home - He's not doing it on purpose, summer's heatwaves are rough 👀 (Idek if they get that kind of heatwaves but I don't really care!)

[lyphyshard]

Eddie Munson

Rockstar, stage performer and all-around bad boy, releases a solo album on the back of his messy public break up with both band and darling star of the acting world Steve Harrington.

The cover is minimalist, bare with Munson in a blood red skirt and broken chain in hand. Fans speculate the cause of such a drastic change from his usual over the top style. Could it be just a new look or is Munson finally coming honest after months of almost violent outbursts and public displays?

Hint: listen to track 7 simply labelled "S"

I just wanted to draw Eddie in a skirt as requested on twitter. Here's an alternate background as well

[lyphyshard]

Wayne’s opinion on Richard Harrington is not good and his opinion on his kid is not all that great either. He didn’t forget all the times Eddie complained about the boy and his friends, no sir.

Eddie says that Steve has turned over a new leaf but Wayne thinks the kid is rude. He’s over at their house all the time and ignores Wayne half the time when he’s talking to him. Kid is eating the food out of his kitchen and can’t even give him the time of day?

He mentions it to Eddie once when Steve wasn’t around and Eddie, around a mouthful of Frosted Flakes, asks, “Did he have his hearing aids in?”

“What?”

“Yeah, he hates ‘em so he never wears them,” Eddie shrugs. “Can’t hear for shit without ‘em though.”

Well.

Now Wayne feels like an asshole.
