#listen there are many fall out boy songs that are steve/eddie/steddie coded

[xenon-demon]

Hey, so we all know the Steddie plotline where they date and then have conflict/possibly even break up because Eddie's convinced that he's not what Steve really wants, right? Steve is really vocal about his dream of a big, loving family and a happily ever after, and Eddie is painfully aware that they're Two Dudes in a Homosexual Relationship and that's not really conducive to the stereotypical white-picket-fence American Dream™. This is definitely not Eddie trying to find a Logical Reason to justify his intrinsic fear that he's unlovable/too much for Steve and Steve is going to leave him as soon as he realizes that.

So imagine Eddie starts pulling away from Steve, as a preemptive measure for the breakup he believes is inevitable, and when Steve confronts him about it they have this big messy argument that turns into a breakup (very much a "Eddie manifesting his own worst fear" type of thing). They go their separate ways and lose contact for a prolonged period.

You're imagining it? You're there with me? Okay fantastic now go listen to this song while you think about it. For bonus points, imagine this is a celebrity/musician!Steve AU where Steve writes and releases this song after several years of no-contact with Eddie, and this (namely the evidence that Steve is Still Thinking about their relationship) is what triggers the chain of events that results in them getting back together.

you wanted steddie songs? let me provide some songs from my steddie playlist bc i'm sick and i want to yell about these dummies to feel better.

for some time accurate songs we got the classics like head over heels and good old-fashioned lover boy obviously, but i also have i'm your man by wham! in there bc i saw a fanart of steve singing that song once and i completely fell in love with it. also take me home tonight by eddie money and personal jesus by depeche mode

for some modern songs i have way too many taylor swift songs bc ofc i do, like gold rush and gorgeous (which work for both steve thinking about eddie and the other way around), but also cruel summer if you think of them getting together during the summer of '86, both unsure what they're doing. also issues by julia michaels bc boyyyy these two have ISSUES. oh and i wanna be your slave by maneskin bc i want eddie to sing that so both me and steve can melt into a puddle of goo. last ones that i really like are don't go by yungblud and alone together by fall out boy.

i got more but i don't wanna ramble more than i already have so here ya gooooo! 😌✨

Alice, my friend, listen I will take ALL thoughts you have on this topic and any topic. So if you ever want to ramble PLEASE DO I will eat it All

Can I just say your time accurate choices are perfect and are actually already on my playlist???? Good old fashioned lover boy is honestly deep in my bones next to head over heels so thank you.

But!!! Wham!!! STEVE WOULD LOVE GEORGE MICHAEL!!! He’d lose his MIND over the club Tropicana video, last Christmas would be his favourite festive song and then of COURSE he’d love solo George Michael and have a religious experience to faith and careless whisper. Steve harrington I know what you are.

Eddie money you are SO right but also his song baby hold on is Steddie going through life together :’)

Depeche mode personal Jesus IS my personal Jesus and is absolutely Steddie coded as is just can’t get enough. I LOVE these takes and am getting stupidly excited about them. Just!!! Thank you!!!

And so many people are Taylor swift Steddie supporters and I truly support all of you, I just don’t have the knowledge to weigh in on this one unfortunately. BUT!!! The other ones you said ohhh BOY I’m just nodding my head AGGRESSIVELY!!! Issues is just SUCH A GOOD SHOUT!!! And maneskin, listen you just can’t go wrong with them, ever. Every single choice you make with them is good and this is no exception. Beautiful big brain.

Yungblud and fob are such inspired choices I love it. I have nothing else to say other than you are right and I violently support you
