what do EMTTS eddie and steve look like in 2023? how have their styles evolved with age?
So, I don’t have a very well-defined image of them in my head for this AU.
I know that some people have said before that they just picture the characters as they are on the show, and I don’t want to be too particular and disrupt the version that someone has in their head. I feel like we’re pretty too far into this AU to set hard and fast rules, you know?
But I’ll throw out some of my HCs for this older couple.
I think they are both aging exceptionally well. Steve a little more than Eddie because he’s moisturized his entire life.
They’re both pretty fit but soft in that way you get as you get older. A large part of Eddie’s job is running around on stage and Steve works out as a hobby. They’re healthy but neither are sporting a six pack.
I love the HC that Steve goes gray early. He found his first gray in his late twenties and is a full silver fox by the time he’s thirty. He never thought to dye it and honestly, it’s a great look on him. Eddie’s graying too but slower. He still has a lot more brown than gray in his hair.
I don’t think Steve’s style ever really changes much. I think he just gets more comfortable with himself. He’s still going to wear a nice polo and well-fitted jeans when he wants to look nice, but he also wears things that aren’t in style now. He holds onto his clothes for longer instead of switching them out for the newest trend and he wears a lot of sweaters and cardigans.
Steve’s a teacher and he has been for decades. You know he owns some of the weirdest cardigans you’ve ever seen.
I think Eddie’s style has gotten more elaborate and more casual as the time went on. When Corroded Coffin made it big, he was suddenly able to afford a lot of the clothes that he always wanted. His stage clothes got flashier and bigger, and his casual clothes got better, but you always eventually fall back to what you like.
Eddie’s got a closet full of old band tees and ripped jeans. It’s what he likes to wears. Sure, his rings are nicer and he’s got better accessories, but he was already settled in who he was when they got famous. There wasn’t must else to change about him.
