Did I ever tell you, I’ve got a thing for brunettes?

FLYNN RIDER - STEVE HARRINGTON

[screwtoddstevesherdaddynow]

Eddie sometimes went quiet.

Wayne noticed it after Eddie moved in. He didn't do it as much when he was little and Mary would bring him round, but here he was at ten years old completely silent. When Eddie was little Wayne assumed the boy was just shy, but now that he lived with Eddie he knew that sometimes a whole week would pass with not a peep from the young boy. M

The doctor said it might be a trauma response, might just be something he would do from time to time, either way, Eddie Munson, one of the loudest and dramatic kids Wayne had ever met would still be him, just nonverbal. They worked with a notebook but sometimes Eddie would get frustrated he wasn't being answered fast enough and they were running out of paper.

It was Wayne's buddy from work that presented a solution. "Have you tried sign language? My son was born deaf and Susan and I went to night classes so we could talk to the kid." So that's exactly what Wayne did, he moved his shifts to the day and spent his nights at the school learning to talk to his boy. On his days off he'd show Eddie what he'd learnt and slowly they were able to bridge the gap that the silence presented.

The silent days didn't stop as he grew older, his teachers didn't really understand and sometimes he'd end up in detention with a note saying he was being disrespectful. His friends understood though and enthusiastically asked Eddie to teach them sign language, they'd use it even when Eddie was happily chatting with them, they liked that they shared a 'secret' language from the bullies.

He hadn't had any silent days since Vecna, which Eddie thought was a miracle in itself given the circumstances. However, he woke up a couple months after spring break knowing what kind of day it was going to be. He felt frustrated with himself, he was supposed to be hanging out with Steve and Robin today and was worried with how they'd take it, especially Steve. They'd been dancing around each other's feelings lately and he didn't want to ruin everything before it even started. Resigned he grabbed a notebook and pen and headed to Family Video.

He'd spent ten minutes psyching himself up in the parking lot before heading inside, note written and ready explaining that no it wasn't anything Upside Down related, he just wouldn't be speaking today. The door's bell rings in his ear as he stops suddenly staring at the scene before him. Steve and Robin were, quite rapidly, signing at each other. Steve turns at the bell, smiling at Eddie.

"Eddie!"

Still in a bit of shock, Eddie signs on instinct, "You know sign?"

Steve has the same look of shock now, before his face breaks into an even bigger smile and signs back, "You know sign! You know sign, how, why?"

His hands are faster than his brain as he explains how he goes quiet sometimes, and Wayne and night classes and Hellfire before asking Steve how he and Robin know sign.

Steve looks bashful as he signs back, "Um, after Starcourt my hearing started to go, so Robin, ever the linguist, insisted we learn, which was actually very smart of her. I can still kinda hear but I get by mainly on lip reading."

Things started to make sense now to Eddie, how sometimes Steve seemed to just nod and smile at whatever the kids were saying, or would need things repeated to him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why didn't you tell me about going nonverbal? Robbie has days like that too."

"Didn't want you to think I was weird."

"I like that you're weird, I like you, Eds."

Eddie blushes at what he interprets is his sign name from Steve, the letter E and the sign for love combined.

"I like you too, Stevie." Eddie signs, the letter S mixed with the sign for heart.

Eddie may still have his silent days, but now he shares them with Steve, and they can sign the things he's not allowed to say out loud, making sure they both know they're loved.

It’s impossible to sneak up on Steve

Like, actually impossible

Dude has eyes in the back of his head. It’s some kind of mom superpower. (Or maybe it’s just the hypervigilance. Whatever)

Eddie first notices because the kids try to sneak past him a couple of times and he always catches them

He even calls them out by name. And he’s always right

Every single time

He catches Henderson trying to get a snack before they’re about to eat (not that Henderson particularly cares he’s been caught; he eats his chips without remorse)

He catches Small Wheeler trying to smuggle an R-rated movie over the Buckley’s side of the counter while Steve’s back is turned (not that Buckley would’ve rented it to him)

He catches Red and Supergirl both sneaking junk food into the cart while they’re out grocery shopping (neither of them are repentant, and Steve rolls his eyes but does exactly nothing about it)

Eddie’s interest is piqued

The first time he tries sneaking up on Steve, Steve catches him before he gets within three feet

How

“You jingle when you walk, Eddie.”

Okay, yeah, that’s fair

Next time, Eddie takes off his wallet chain and all his jewelry

Steve still catches him before he gets close enough to reach out and touch

“Your shoes squeak.”

Eddie’s pretty sure they don’t, actually, but fine. The shoes are next to go

And Steve still fucking catches him. Eddie can hear the goddamn smile in his voice as he says “Hi, Eddie,” just as Eddie is reaching out to grab his waist

“I could smell your shampoo.”

He could smell Eddie’s shampoo?

His fucking shampoo??

Alright, no, actually, that’s kind of sweet. But Eddie can’t exactly stop using shampoo, because then Steve will probably just be able to smell his hair grease or something. Eddie has to get creative, but he makes sure he’s not downwind of the AC vent next time

Yet Steve is the one who manages to ambush Eddie while Eddie is ambushing Steve, turning around and pulling Eddie right into him before Eddie can pounce, kissing him hard and quick, asking if that’s what Eddie was going for when he pulls away

Half dazed, half aroused, entirely frustrated, Eddie demands to know how the fuck Steve caught him this time, and Steve shrugs

“It just… feels different, when there’s someone behind you. The air, maybe? I dunno.”

Is this man even human?

(Given the general state of… everything, Eddie feels this is a legitimate question)

But Eddie isn’t one to give up once he becomes fixated, so he bides his time

He waits

And he waits

And he waits, until it seems like Steve is engaged in something distracting enough that he’s not going to be paying attention to how the room behind him feels, or however the fuck that works, and takes his shot

AND HE SUCCEEDS

He has to promise never to do it again, because his ribs are now bruised from Steve’s very surprised elbow, and Steve is mad and handing him and ice pack and bitching at him at full volume, but y’know what?

Fucking worth it

[screwtoddstevesherdaddynow]

His smile gives me all the angina

Questions I Would Ask Joe Keery If I Were Interviewing Him

Between playing Kurt Kunkle, Steve Harrington and Keys in Free Guy, which role was more of a challenge?

In Spree, you acted alongside David Arquette who was your father. Did he give you any advice?

You do your own music under the name Djo. Which by the way, addictive listening to it. What made you want to pursue that genre?

Steve is a really lovable character and he’s grown so much throughout the series. What I want to know is, in your life outside of the show and acting in general, when did you realize you’ve grown from whom you once were to this point?

Do you think you you’ll continue to work with Shawn Levy in the future?

I gotta ask, every man has some sort of crush on Mr. Ryan Reynolds. Are you another one of that statistic after working with him?

Playing a character in the 80s and even working at a video store, if you could take one movie from that time and remake it, which one?

Why that one?

Can we expect more from Djo for years to come?

Who are your musical influences?

Last question, killers in movies tend to come back to life miraculously. So can we expect another Spree movie?

I saw this on Butcher Billy's Instagram earlier of a card he's designed for the pack of Topps cards that are being released today and let me tell you that I screamed.

It says "Alive at the upside down" 👀👀👀

First we get an episode title and now this....I might be reading too much into it but I swtg Eddie will be back in Season 5 with a vengeance.

Stripped

FOREWARNED: This is for 18+ age!! SMUT! IF YOU ARE NOT 18 OR OLDER, THEN PLEASE DONT READ! This is an imagine where you’re a stripper and Eddie requests you privately. Mentions of breasts, half naked woman, a little teasing and penis.

This song inspired this. It’s not from the 80’s, so if you wanna read with an 80’s song, I suggest looking up on Spotify ‘80s stripper vibes’.

Imagine…

It’s the summer of ’87, a hot Saturday night. You’re in the dressing room in the back of the club. You look in the mirror as you get ready for the night. Your hair curled and teased perfectly. Pulled back by a clip. Your makeup with the Smokey eye but still so classy and sexy. Classic red lips. That curled up into a smile. The thought of the man you made eye contact with across the room. As you danced on stage and twirled around cold steel pole in the center of the stage, you met his gaze. He sat in a booth and smoked a cigarette. His long loose waves of brown framing his face.

Thoughts are broken when you hear a deep voice from the door in the dressing room. The bouncer is motioning you over in his direction. Pulling your robe up over your shoulders and tying the belt around your waste. He tells you that you’re being requested in the Velvet Room. You agreed because only big spenders requested women in the Velvet Room. It was a beautiful room usually only lit with candles and low lighting. The velvet couch where the men would sit while the girls danced. You walked in once the bouncer opened the door. He then closed it and you knew he was on the other side. Incase things went south.

A tall figure stands before you. He moves closer and you breath in his scent. Woodsy musk and tobacco. His jawline prominent with a little scruff. Wavy long brown hair perfectly framing his face. Brown eyes that made you feel like a stick of butter melting.

“Why me?” Asking him with a playful tone in your voice. He smirked and turned around and walked to the velvet couch he sat down, his legs comfortably man spreading. His arms up on the back on the couch. He was ready for you.

Music started playing and you felt it move through your body. Dancing closer to him. Taking the clip from your hair and shaking the beautiful curls loose. You tease him with the belt of your robe. He uses his left hand and pulls on it. Causing it to untie and open. Exposed is your breasts and your bare torso. Nipples erect, as a chill crossed your spine. The only thing on you other than the robe was the tight panties you were wearing that night. You met his gaze and his eyes sparkled. Slipping the robe off your shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. Move closer to him.

“What’s your name, handsome?” You ask him running your fingers softly from your shoulders down your breasts and letting the finger tips touch the fabric of your panties.

“Eddie.” A wink and a smirk. You felt like putty. God was he handsome but that voice made this moment even better.

You got on the couch straddling his waste. Grinding your hip’s against him. You could feel yourself trembling, in unison with him. Then you turn your body and straddle from the other direction. This time your back facing him. Bending over with your hands running from his thighs down his legs. As you came back up, you slowly dig your nails playfully in his upper thighs. You hear a low growl from behind. Smiling to yourself, you lean backwards.

“Say my name. I wanna hear you say it.” He whispered into your neck, his hand caressing the hair away so his soft lips could touch your bare skin. The heat from him made your chest quiver.

“Eddie.” You moan his name. Letting him take control. You can feel his penis growing harder as you are still straddling him. “Oh Eddie.”

perhaps if the duffer bros didn't want people still obsessing over Eddie Munson six months after he's supposed to be dead, they should not have hired the man whose mommy called him chocolate button eyes to play him

[screwtoddstevesherdaddynow]

actually @ every fanfiction writer whether you wrote something that got thousands of reblogs and comments and became a staple in your fandom, or you wrote one fic and deleted it, or you write mutilchaptered fics that never get a final update, or write short fics, or long fics, or used to write and now you don’t, or you deleted/orphaned your works, or you only share with friends:

thank you.

sharing your writing is hard. and sometimes it’s thankless. sometimes it’s such a negative experience that I wonder how anyone does it at all. but you are needed; you are wanted. whether or not we properly acknowledge it, you are a vital part of fandom culture. thanks for sharing.
