I'm having steddie thoughts again
soulmate au (my achilles heel) where you see in black and white until you and your soulmate touch, then you're finally able to see in color
but ALSO - rockstar eddie and normie steve!!!
steve won the tickets for dustin through a radio giveaway, including backstage passes, and they get to be first in line for the meet and greet 👀
cue steve insisting that this is all for dustin and he doesn't wanna "ruin the moment" and embarrass him during the meet n greet because he thinks he isn't cool in comparison to a literal rock star but dustin BEGS him to come so that he won't be as nervous meeting 1 of his heros
so steve goes with to get their picture taken, (dustin is practically vibrating out of his skin with excitement) and right as the photographer tells them to smile, his arm brushes eddie's, and everything bursts into color - the exact moment they realize what happened is captured on film
honestly I've imagined a few different ways this could go: Steve goes to shake his hand right before the photo, or they brush arms, or Steve trips on the little rug mat while walking in and Eddie goes to catch him (insert Eddie making a "falling for me" joke, he's such a fucking sap)
idk I just had the vivid mental image of the photos being taken-the first one is when they make contact, the second pic is when they turn to each other with the "oh shit" looks on their faces, and the third one being them smiling/hugging/making out while dustin is LOSING IT

I really don't understand this discourse even. Chrissy is dead, nothing happened. We don't know if Eddie even thought about it. How is this even relevant?
eddie definitely thought about it lol
you're right, it's absurd. i think the fact that it's non-canon might be part of why it's so controversial, though. bear with me because i'm just gonna type through my thought process here.
the hate is all coming from one place, the popular ship. i'm hesitant to name it because i don't want to cause more problems or hurt anyone, and i genuinely feel no ill will towards the ship or the shippers, but we all know who i'm talking about. i just want everyone to know i'm not vaguing, i'm just trying to responsible.
that ship is extremely unlikely to become canon. even if it weren't mlm, it's subtle and coming in too late in the game. if it were to become canon in the final season, it would be confusing and alienating to a large part of stranger things' non-fandom viewers (the vast majority of the viewership). i just can't see it happening.
(to be clear, i would be delighted to be wrong about this. it's not my ship, but it would be a pretty wild move of the duffers to pull in the last quarter. i love spectacle. AND even if it never becomes canon, i don't think that makes it any less valid. one of the great joys of shipping is that it moves past the extremely limited canon and into the endless expanse of what could be.)
however. it is possible. possible in the sense that both characters are still alive. there's even a compelling case for one of them being intentionally queer-coded. i know that to the shippers, the set-up and tension between them is very real. if i put myself in their shoes, if i imagine being intensely invested in something so precarious, it's easier for me to see how we got here.
edssy is just such a clear threat. or, it would be if she weren't dead. it's so cliche and obvious and exactly the kind of ship tv execs and casual audiences understand and could get behind. it could become canon in a heartbeat. there are 0 societal/social forces working against it, but it still gives the feeling of being transgressive or novel. it's perfect. hell, the duffers have said in no uncertain terms that they missed out on something with edssy. if (BIG IF) chrissy were to come back somehow, edssy would be practically inevitable.
i think that's the crux of it, whether the antis are conscious of it or not. there's a real 'shutupshutupshutupshutup' kind of energy coming from them and i think this is why. strangers things has brought back dead characters. the duffers and joe and grace all see the potential and enjoyed playing in that space. the more attention edssy gets, the more free they are to re-open that door if they want to.
just like the other ship, edssy is extremely unlikely. however, if chrissy comes back, it suddenly jumps to being all but guaranteed. the antis who are deeply invested in their ship becoming canon need her to stay dead. and every drop in the edssy bucket makes it a teeny tiny bit more possible that she won't.

tangled up in barbed wire love
twelvexclara
“You’re so fucking—”
Before he can finish what he’s saying, Eddie grabs him by the shoulder, switches their position. Presses him into the door harshly and his head thumps back into the wood, sends a spike of something through his veins. He’s got a forearm at Steve’s throat, digging into his pulse point.
Daring him to say something.
He blinks dizzily up at Eddie, ignores the hinge digging into his back. They share breath, panting at each other, frozen for a moment. Steve’s heart is a hummingbird in his chest and he hopes, prays even, that Eddie can’t feel it.

Are You Flagging?
soidade
“Look, I’m just asking, okay? Not– I don't mean anything by it. But, uh.” His eyes darted back and forth, then he leaned in close to Steve. Steve had gotten used to that, kind of. The guy had no concept of personal space. “Are you flagging?” Eddie finally finished.
Steve shook his head slowly, eyes narrowed. He had no idea what that meant. He had no answer. “What?”
Eddie leaned away from Steve, facing forward again and nodding. “Okay, got it. That answers my question. Carry on.”

alongside a ❤️‍🔥 emoji, send in some blurb requests! [one] [two] [three] [four] [five] <- these are some prompt lists but they’re not required :) remember to tell me what list u got ur prompt from!
okay, neither of those pique your interest? well, FAMILY VIDEO is great for curing boredom! and the staff are easy on the eyes as well, which totally helps
alongside a 📽 emoji, send in thoughts and concepts hehehe - any genre, any length. you can even go behind the beaded curtain to the 18+ stuff if u want (sfw or nsfw allowed)

(some do’s and don’t’s for requests are below the read more if you’re on the fence about an idea !)
i’m pretty vanilla in all senses: no non-con/dubcon, no pregnancy, no hard kinks, no x reader for anyone besides steve, no steddie x reader, that’s about it :)
as this is a follower celebration, it is intended to be for followers of the blog <3 i ask that if you’d like me to put the time & effort into writing something for u, mayhaps u shud follow if you don’t already :D idk i’m not a cop and technically nothin bad will happen if u don’t but u shouldn’t :) ok
if i don’t respond to your ask, i’m probably working away at it but also hey, it just might not scratch my brain. i’ll do my best to get them all written but absolutely no promises.

15 questions, 15 mutuals
LET'S GO! Was tagged by the fantastic @nburkhardt and @mentallyundone thank you fo that I'm hype!
Are you named after anyone? First name? No. My mother wanted something 'unique' (my first name is not unique). I have my great grandmothers name as my middle name though!
When was the last time you cried? Ummm... 😬 All I can say is if you read certain Steddie fics then you know. 👀
Do you have kids? Not yet. It's a journey. 🤷‍♀️
Do you use sarcasm a lot? I'm Irish. Sarcasm is my default setting. 😅
What sports do you play/have you played? I've been swimming since I was like three. I love it so much but I am so out of practice.
What’s the first thing you notice about people? Their posture. Y'know like how they walk, how they stand, how they hold themselves.
What’s your eye color? Blue 🔵👃🔵
Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings, always ✨
Any special talents? I don't get brainfreeze. I never have. I used to think it was a made up tv thing or an overexaggeration. I proved it to my husband by holding ice cream against the roof of my mouth until it was fully melted. I have no idea either.
Where we’re you born? Ireland. Born and raised baybee 😚✌
What are your hobbies? I love writing. I really honestly love writing, I always have.
Do you have pets? Two black cats, Binx and Poe. Poe is the sweetest boy but he's dumb as a rock and has no idea how to cat. Binx has been to prison for arson.
How tall are you? 160cm / 5'2. Imma short arse. 🤣
Favorite subject in school? It's a mix between English and Art to be honest!
Dream job? Honestly I'd love to be a costume designer for movies or theatre. BUT ALSO some form of researcher/museum curator specifically for Victorian/Edwardian womens fashion.
Tags! No pressure! 🖤 @outpastthebrakers @hardboiledleggs @mixsethaddams @wynnyfryd @artaxlivs @augustjustice @scoops-stevie @estrellami-1 @epiclazershark @every-aj-needs-an-angel @grimmfitzz @pukner @hexenwrites @melkene

saw that you were wondering about the 'via association' comment one of your anons made in regards to how adam treated his wife and the difference between how joseph answered that question. so joe said that some nasty people took rumors and misinformation and ran with it and grace got hate for it via association, meaning she got dragged just for being his friend. the association part is important because vqs were expecting this entire speech for months, they kept wishing someone asked him about the hatred she was getting because they wanted joe to expose how much she meant to him in front of all those quinnies and steddies. they'd make threads upon threads about how amazing it would be to see joe defend 'his girl' in front of everyone. and then when it finally happened, his response boiled down to 'people started rumors, she got hate for knowing me and it sucks that it happens.' and having personally witnessed the threads in which the vqs expressed how mind blowing it would be to have joe just protect the love of his life from all this hatred, it's been pretty funny watching them trying to ignore the fact joe called THEM out and trying really hard to twist that 'yeah, it sucks' into something bigger and romantic lmao oh and about adam driver not using the association thing. i think that anon was pointing out the difference between a committed man standing up for his partner vs a friend standing up for another friend. i know we're all upset but i honestly have been preparing myself for this situation for a while. after german con, tokyo con and the paris con, grace hit a very low point and she was obviously making it known on the net in some or another. her lovely stans then also started calling joseph a pig for not even standing up for her and i remember them really losing it on his twitter. there was just a lot of hate targeted on him for not wanting to talk about something private involving his friend. grace stans were also extremely upset with joe having no problem posing with jamie or being very close to him. then at nola they kept trying to force that hellcheer pose and i remember that was on a staurday. people were saying grace was upset and then on sunday, they said she seemed even worse and that's when joe stepped in and went out of his way to hype her up and hype her character up too. since then i've just prepared myself for the vqs forcing interaction and forcing responses to fit their narrative. i thought we would be ok this weekend because it'd be just joseph but i forgot how many gvd stans decided to make it their mission to ruin shit for everyone else. anyway, i'm following this one twitter that always posts a summarized version of joe's panels and i'm relying on some sweet mutuals to post joe pics from cons. i'm staying the hell away from con news and joe twitter during the cons he's got in june. i'm hoping this insanity will die down once he's in some other projects and she's ding her thing streaming and whatnot, but i'm preserving my energy until then.
Thank you nonnie for explaining 🤍
I follow a twitter that do summarize of panel as well and i know some people who will go to fanexpo so I'll rely on them and on you guys👀 i don't go on twitter anymore

Would you ever write a steddie fic where one of them was asexual and sex neutral/repulsed? I’d be interested in seeing how they navigate intimacy around that. If not, do you have any recs for something similar?
I’ve never really thought of it before just because it’s not my personal experience, so I think I would have a hard time articulating thoughts and feelings around that, if that makes sense? Definitely not opposed to it though 👀 I think it just might be something that I would need to play around with for a while before writing.
I love writing scenes of non-sexual intimacy, and if that’s the itch you’re looking to get scratched, I did write this fic that might fulfill that for you ❤️✨ there is one scene where their sex life is mentioned/ briefly discussed, but nothing explicit happens.
Only one fic really comes to mind with your request, and Steve and Eddie’s mutual asexuality is only explicitly mentioned at the very end, but this whole fic is so fluffy and gorgeous, I love it so much. It’s on my recommended fics tag but I’ll link it here too.
