What are you doing here, amigo?

[secondwlnd]

you guys ever look your character types (tm) and go haha oh

[secondwlnd]

sometimes i think about steve’s body language being like, super closed-off despite how he puts on all this confidence outwardly. you see him crossing his arms, avoiding eye contact, nervous hand gestures etc, a lot esp s1-2 because that’s when he was peak insecure, that’s when he was maintaining the popularity status, bc that’s what he thought he had to do. he doesn’t know how to admit that the friends he has are kinda shitty and that he’s kind of shitty for hanging out with them. and he sees how nancy and jonathan are just like. genuine people. even though nancy breaks his heart and jonathan and him have a rocky relationship at best. and like, in season two he’s not the same person he was. but nancy breaks up with him and it means he kind of knows less about who he is and what his future is going to be like than ever. he still frowns more than he smiles. and in season three you see someone who’s a bit more open. bc he made some real friends that don’t make him feel like shit, and make him better not worse. it doesn’t matter so much that he’s stuck slinging ice cream or w/e in smalltown indiana bc there are people that care about him for real. this got away from me but i just think steveathan harrington has one of the character development arcs of all time-

You gonna fight me now, too? Because you couldn’t take Jonathan Byers so I wouldn’t recommend that.

ever think about how the first fight steve won in the whole series was against a russian guard 

[secondwlnd]

remember all the articles that came out after stranger things 2 that were like “WE used to HATE steve but NOW WE love him!!!!” like who is we? don’t include me in this. he’s been fun and sexy ever since he threw a house party for 4 people. sorry some of us could detect talent from day one.

                 cool,  coldwind  kind  of  blows,  but  hey  —   at  least  it’s  not  going  to  be  another  trial  spent  in  the  pitch-fucking-dark.  or  knee-deep in  swamp.  of  course,  they  don’t  know  who  the  hell’s  out  there,  yet.  and  this  old  crate  seems  as  good  a  place  as  any  to  stake  out  their  surroundings.  steve’s  gaze  does  a  swivel  from  left-to-right  over  the  pale  yellow  fields  for  miles  around.  no  chainsaw  rev,  no  otherwordly  screech.  so  far  so  good,  maybe.

                 steve,  distracted,  tugs  yoichi  down  after  him  by  the  sleeve.  absently,  he  thinks  the  bright  yellow  coat  might  actually  do  the  new  guy  some  favours  in  this  realm.  he  registers  the  other  survivor’s  words  in  delay,  both  brows  shooting  up  incredulously.    ❝  —  yeah,  uh-huh.  did  your  —    ❞  he  pauses,  twirls  his  finger  in  a  looping  motion;   ❝  e-s-p-n  tell  you  that,  or  what?  ❞    

                steve  huffs  a  derisive  sound,  parking  his  hand  firmly  on  his  hip;  

❝  —  anyway —    haven’t  you  ever  seen  a  movie,  man?  nothing  good  ever  happens  in  corn.  trust  me.  ❞
