#EDIT: GOD NOW IM EMO THINKING ABOUT EDDIE TAKING STEVE TO A HONKY TONK AND TEACHING HIM TO LINE DANCE

[starrystevie]

is it entirely self serving if i say that i headcanon eddie munson as a southern boy? like obvi he lives in indiana with wayne now but i just picture him as a kid in like tennessee or georgia at the foot of the appalachian mountains, running through fields and making up wild stories in his head as he did. staying out late to catch lightning bugs and crawdads but then always letting them go. splashing through creeks and picking wildberries in the summer to make jam with his mom. always with sun kissed shoulders and freckles across his nose. staring at the huge clumps of snow the first time it snowed in hawkins since he moved. has a whisper of an accent that comes out when he gets too high, a slow drawl that blurs together.
