#eddie hc

[bettyfrommars]

I was thinking that, whenever you bring your car to the shop to get it serviced, Eddie acts like he doesn't know you, even though he is literally your boyfriend.

"You live around here?" He'll ask, with that cheeky glint in his eye.

"Nope, just passing through."

"Are you seeing anyone?" he fumbles with the air filter in his hands, almost dropping it.

"No one special. Why do you ask?"

"No particular reason." He pushes up the sleeves of his coveralls and bites his lip, leaning over to rest his forearms on the shelf of the open window. "I was thinking I could show you the bright lights of Hawkins sometime."

"A mechanic and a tour guide? Impressive."

"Is that a yes?"

"It's a maybe," you try not to laugh at the way he stops and blinks at you.

When he's done changing your oil, he leans in the window again, a smudge on his cheek now. "Listen, I don't think I can let you go without getting your phone number."

You lick your lips and meet his stare with a knowing arch of your brow. "Why don't you meet me around back on your break and I'll show you the best view in town."

Robin as the polyglot she is definitely has picked up at least some sign language. And because he and Steve are thick as thieves she's taught Steve some signs, one of them being the sign for "I love you".

This would've just been a way for the two to communicate even more without saying a single word together if not for Eddie.

Eddie, who unfortunately mixed up the hand sign people do for rock and roll with the actual hand sign for "I love you". After all, it's really only the difference of a single thumb.

What this means though is that everytime Eddie says goodbye to Steve he uses what he believes to be the sign for rock and roll. And every single time, Steve blushes bright red. He's almost 96% positive that Eddie isn't actually telling him he loves him, but he doesn't know that for sure and he's never really had another guy tell him he loves him before. Especially not every time he sees him.

Eddie on the other hand has no idea of the mistake he's making. All he knows is that Steve blushes a lot around him, and he comes to incorrect conclusion that Steve the Hair Harrington, might have a crush on him, and Eddie King-of-the-freaks gay-in-small-town-America Munson, runs with it.

Soon enough he's absolutely shamelessly flirting with Steve. Just being absolutely blatant about it, to the extent that Steve's 96% starts turning into 86, 65, 52, then eventually he's more sure that Eddie is actually telling him he loves him than he is that he's not.

In classic Steve fashion he figures he might as well shoot his shot so the next time Eddie goes to leave his house after a night of smoking and playfully sniping about each other's musical opinions Eddie makes his customary rock and roll goodbye sign and Steve just pulls him down and crashes his mouth to his.

"I love you too," he gets out between pants when he finally pulls away from Eddie.

Eddie, not really actually expecting Steve to reciprocate, at least not before he'd finished his 87 step plan to woo him, can only open his mouth several times trying to process the fact that Steve kissed him before what Steve said to him catches up to his brain.

".....what?" he finally says.

---------

Let me know if you guys want me to finish this! It honestly was just a simple thought brought about from the fact that I didn't realize every time I'd thought I'd been making the rock and roll sign I'd actually been telling random people I loved them.

This is for @ambthegamer and @wheels-of-despair and everyone else really but Eddie’s face when you call him Edward

I couldn’t pick one sooooo here is a couple 😁

Part 1

You catch him off guard

Him confused on how you know his government name

The side eye

“Say that name one more time and watch what will happen” face

Caught him off guard again or you said it in public

[italiansteebie]

eddie probably takes huge ass bites.

and ppl hate sharing with him bc whenever he asks for a bite he basically devours half of whatever he asked for.

bc his version of a bite is opening his mouth wide and taking in as much as he can. (this is great for steve, but much less for anyone else).

and so it becomes a thing whenever the gang goes out to eat.

"ooh, can i have a bite?"

"an eddie bite? or a normal bite?"

and eddie has to swear that he'll take a small bite (even though his "small bite" is a normal one in comparison) and everyone always groans bc he always makes the same gross joke.

"hey! steve loves my big ass mouth, don't ya stevie?"

"oh my god. im breaking up with you."

stranger things boys — headcanons

✩ steve and eddie edition ✩

Author’s Note: a fun little idea I had - you will be seeing me using these in future fics <3

navigation

steve —

✩ he smells like oak and sunscreen, mint, a little bit of mowed grass, and just a hint of fruits.

✩ he’s summertime and swimming, tanning on pool floats, day trips to exclusive swimming holes that are definitely not entirely legal to go to. trampolines and swing-sets, burning hot days, colas in the cooler, cherries and watermelon.

✩ steve calls you love, and darling, baby/babe, mine, and occasionally honey. he keeps it classic but personal. that’s what being with him feels like.

✩ he’s a sucker for surprises and popping up with flowers and tickets for things you like and boxes with things you stop and stare at in store windows. steve loves pulling chocolates out from behind his back and watching your eyes light up.

✩ if there where one song in any decade to fully encapsulate steve, it would be budapest by george ezra. he’d do anything for you. and the light flow of the song matches the summer breeze on a hot day. all the love he feels written out line by line.

✩ a movie that matches steve would be dazed and confused. summertime, high school, long nights, and having fun with friends. it’s steve’s aesthetic and he shamelessly wears it like a crown.

✩ steve likes to grab your hand and spin you around the room while listening to music play from the radio. he likes dancing his hands on your shoulders, rubbing up and down your arms. he likes grabbing your chin and pulling you up to kiss him.

✩ steve is cherry popsicles and chocolate covered strawberries. coneys on the beach. cookouts by his pool. he’s the soft, natural lighting of the dawn coming through the curtains when you’ve stayed up all night talking. he’s loving and gentle and rays of sun on your face.

eddie —

✩ if steve is cherries and watermelon and summer; eddie is pumpkin pie and cinnamon and fall. He’s going to scenic overlooks to admire the orange and red and brown leaves. eddie is night drives in the cold, heaters on full blast along with rock music at a comfortable level to listen to as well as talk over.

✩ eddie smells like lavender and the sea, salt and weed. a hint of nutmeg and spices. warm like cranberry and cold like an iced vanilla coffe.

✩ eddie calls you hot stuff. he likes funny but unique and loving pet names; like sweet cheeks and my queen, angel, toots, and just occasionally - really infrequently - sugar tits. playful and fun but so specific to him. the only more common pet name he loves to use is sweetheart. that’s one of his favorites.

✩ his favorite way to spend time with you is cuddled up inside, watching movies on the vhs or taking you to the drive in. he likes when you wrap around him while he’s learning a new song on his guitar. while he doesn’t have as much money to spend on you like steve, he loves valuable time with you and you alone. quiet, and calm. quality and intimate.

✩ if there where one song in any decade to fully encapsulate eddie, it would be sweater weather by the neighbourhood. he’s only a man who is wholly in love with you. this song knows exactly what it’s like to be in love and holding hands while crunching through the fallen leaves while the chilled wind turns your nose red.

✩ a movie that matches eddie would be the fantastic mr. fox. it’s autumn and it’s doing anything to give the people you love a better life. eddie relates to mr. fox on a personal level and he doesn’t care how childish you think it is but he loves the movie and would kick off every fall by watching that first.

✩ eddie loves jamming out and jumping around his trailer with you while heavy metal blasts from his speakers. he likes grabbing you by the waist and pulling you in for a kiss. he likes to ruffle your hair after telling you how much he loves you.

✩ eddie is s’mores and home cooked meals, the burnt orange of a sunset, the crackling of thunder in the distance. the lingering taste of weed on your breath. he’s rain pouring down your face, drenching your clothes. he’s sweets on halloween, and he’s thoughtful and reassuring like the last striking lines of color in the sky - the sun promising to come back once the night is over.

special note to @upsidedownwithsteve who partially kicked off an idea i’d had brewing in my mind with her amazing writing! as well as @spidey-multi for proof-reading and helping with ideas ! <3

[sadboyeddie]

Headcanon that Eddie cries when he vomits cause he doesn’t like the feeling :(

When he drinks too much and he has to barf he drags you into the bathroom behind him and makes you hold his hand (and hair) while he empties his stomach and lets out sniffles in between.

When he’s done he sits on the bathroom counter, you standing between his legs with a warm washcloth, and lets you take care of him while hiccuping and pouting.

[survivoirs]

My autistic ass hyperfixating on watching a tiktok blog dedicated to breeding snakes: oh I totally understand why Malcolm and Eddie (both canonically having had a pet snake(s), also autistic, have been so into snakes for so long. HC incoming about both of them hiding lil snake bins under their beds. Eddie because he was afraid his parents wouldn't let him keep them, his dad likely would have beat him for hiding them/being dishonest. And Malcolm because, while his mother let him get a pet snake(s) he got super fixated on breeding them for pretty morphs and she didn't know how many snakes he had.

[thekittytat]

Imagine with me for a moment: Eddie converts the newest Hellfire members to the metal scene.

Eddie lives, graduates, and goes on with life.

Maybe the other members of Corroded Coffin move on with their lives, get jobs or go to college, but Eddie is way too talented to let his gift go to waste.

So he recruits Mike, Dustin, Lucas and/or Erica into the band.

We already know Dustin especially has a bond with Eddie, so it’s not impossible he’d get into any music Eddie shows him.

Finn is already IN a band so we know he’d look amazing as Mike the metal mucisian

Imagine them all with long hair 😭

They all would have had countless experiences fighting for their life in an alternate dimension with beings unknown to their realm, so a few high school bullies would be no match for them anymore once they’re united

🥺♥️

[fuc-cough]

some Eddie Munson hc i have

man’s is pansexual, like doesn’t give a fuck at all really but if he has to have a label its that one

as much as i love reading about eddie being experienced with sex, it’s just not true. Man’s has had sex maybe 3 times and never with a woman

that being said, he kisses like a GOD

also, despite being pretty inexperienced with the act of sex, he tried to figure out as much as he could so he wasn’t disappointing when he actually got the chance (very knowledgeable of the human anatomy and very generous ;))

he figured out jr. year of high school that he was into choking when some jock slammed him up against the lockers and he wasn’t as scared as he should have been

at 19, he was about to hook up with a older guy at some bar in Indianapolis and he asked the guy about choking; in return the guy asked what his safe-word was and eddie looked at him clueless. They never hooked up, instead the guy spent the entire night informing and answering all of eddie’s questions about kinks. He was also the one to teach eddie the importance of after care. He wrote a lot of this stuff down on napkins that eddie took home with him and would read through for the next month. *eddie swore to always treat someone like royalty after the doing the dirty if they’d allow him to*

He’s horny. All. The. Fucking. Time. It’s kind of concerning

i also get switch vibes from the man, sure yes he tops a lot and enjoys being dominate but man’s is also a brat that would love to see how far he could push you before you put him in his place

he actually enjoys reading and reads a good deal of Fantasy books, but his favorite is The hobbit (duh)

Corroded Coffin, despite only really having an audience of 5 drunks, is surprisingly good

Eddie got into metal when he was 11. Wayne took him on a day fishing trip with a buddy of his and that buddy was a casual listener of Black Sabboth. Eddie immediately loved it. Wayne got him the same record for his 12th birthday.

Wayne was also the one to teach eddie the basics of guitar, but only the basics. Eddie picked it up quickly and surpassed Wayne in no time.

Eddie is a fast learner… in all things 🌶

these are just my headcanons but i will not be taking any criticism, argue with the wall. thx 💋

[boldlyvoid]

thinking about Eddie learning how to screen print and making enough money to buy everything he needs to build the wooden frames and screens, he assembles it and makes the hellfire logo and then he has a shirt. and it's the first thing he's made himself that he's super proud of and so he makes more and he surprises the whole gang with them before a game and they're proud of him too. they're amazed that he made them by hand and he'll always remember that game as his most favourite

[sugarsblurbs]

Eddie “I am going to crush you with all my weigh when we cuddle ” Munson

[disheveledwizard]

Eddie can sew but not well

Like

If it doesn’t fall apart it works for me sort of thing

Big messy stitches with the thread doubled up

[beamassivewh0reinstead]

Eddie Munson Headcanons

More Eddie headcanons to soothe some souls

Eddie painting his nails black and getting the polish absolutely fucking everywhere. Like all over his skin and he'd have to take a solid half hour just to clean up the mess

The amount of times that man has gotten hairbrushes stuck in his huge mop of hair is honestly hilarious. Well maybe not to him, because the panic of thinking he'd have to cut his hair off bc he couldn't get the brush out is the last thing he finds funny in the moment lmao

He snores. Let's face it. But not like dad snoring, more like gentle snoring that doesn't disturb anyone's sleep but it's also funny to listen to

He has absolutely set his hair on fire by accident before and saw his life flash before his eyes whilst frantically trying to put it out. Has he learned to move his hair out of the way whilst lighting stuff after all of this? Still no

I just know he has a stuffed animal, probably a shark or something that he's had since he was young and he always keeps it in his bed, regardless of whether he cuddles it or not, it's always there

When he's high he will absolutely either spill all of his secrets unintentionally, talk his mouth off and not remember a damn thing about it when sober, or just fall asleep tbh, no in-between

When he can't sleep or has nightmares, he'll go and sit outside his trailer and look up at the sky. He's not even looking for constellations, he's just on the hunt for comfort among the twinkling stars and the glow of the moon that might finally send him off to sleep

His bangs weren't always above his eyebrows. He fucked it up one day and went a bit too short because he jammed the scissors mid-trim and actually ended up loving it so he just kept it and never looked back

He can't sleep with socks on, he says it makes his feet feel claustrophobic

He gives the best hugs. Like next level bear hugs that could go on forever if you don't pull away from his big ol' warm embrace. And tbh, why would you ever want to leave his arms??

[vecnaaone]

What if I also give Vampire AU Eddie some mind control abilities? He already has some kind of glamour thing, intentionally done or not.

But what if he also could somewhat read your thoughts / feelings?

Potentially be able to move you with his mind? Some vague Vecna-ish powers.

[steddie-luvr]

the eddie hc that fucks with me is that he learned the entirety of ‘master of puppets’ within 2 fucking weeks when it was released,,, TWO!!!! mf played that shit perfectly in the upside down for the song to only be out for two damn weeks. TAUGHT HIMSELF!!!

[omglottie]

i actually think that eddie would be RUTHLESS to you in d&d if yall were dating. like the fact you were even more special would make him feel like he has to over-compansate. also i know for A FACT that he would get bullshit from the other members if he treated you any better at d&d. bby has his priorities straight
