Lumax movie date is gonna happen okay? I swear

[pinkerthings]

remember—stranger things is a psychological thriller disguised as a horror/drama. this means that the entire show is basically made up of mind games. if someone tells you that you are reading too much into tiny details, they’re wrong! that’s exactly what the show is intended for!

give me disabled max who’s still her same old snarky self. give me max who still manages to do cool tricks with her wheelchair the same way she would with her skateboard. give me lucas who acknowledges that she’s disabled now but still loves her the same nonetheless

Lucas: I would kill for you. Max: That’s sweet and all, but please don’t do that. Lucas: Oh thank god. Because I would do it, but it would probably weigh on me. Max: …

I love how Lucas accepts the fact that Max broke up with him and still tries to be her friend, started noticing that Max wasn't okay and apologized for not being there for her when she needed it, so he tries to get her to talk to him, continued to be there for her because of her trauma whilst his intentions where nothing but platonic and genuine love. Steve, get more like Lucas please.

Something I think about a lot.

Steve has nightmares, like probably a lot of them, especially after learning about the Upside Down. But like my boy had trauma before that too, like his parents didn’t parent, he had no real friends. Like that’s not easy for someone.

Eddie must have nightmares too, because of whatever the fuck his dad did, it’s not clear. But I doubt 1970s Indiana is just gonna give a child to a single father for no reason. Like Wayne is the goat, but what Eddie went through before had to have left some scars.

And Max too, like Neil is a piece of shit, and her Susan is a bi- and Vecna happened. So she’s got shit.

(All of stranger things has shit. Not to discredit their trauma)

But like Max, Steve, and Eddie are all alone like they don’t have anyone outside the gang that they can talk to. Like can you imagine for a second:

Max gets out of the hospital post Vecna, she can’t see- not well anyway, and her hips are fucked. The Government has figured out Neil is a POS so they’re being investigated, her brother is dead, like she probably goes and sits on the porch and waits for Eddie to get home so she won’t have to be alone.

(Eddie lives, like El and The Gov for sure get him out. It’s not as bad as it looked, like Dustin was in shock for sure)

Eddie is struggling, he has huge scars on his neck back and stomach, he like Max is having to go to PT to learn how to walk and shit and he’s having memory problems, but not in the way he wants, like he can remember exactly how it felt to be eaten alive. And so sometimes he goes on long drives just to clear his head, he probably spends a lot of time at Skull Rock because it’s like his safe place.

Usually when he gets home he helps Max over to his place, they have dinner and sit in silence because neither of them can sleep and like they don’t know what to say.

Everyone else seems to be moving on, Robin and Nancy start dating and looking at Colleges. Not too far away bc the kids, Steve, Eddie and Joyce and Hop of course. Hop has retired, Joyce doesn’t have to work anymore bc the Gov finally paid her off. Will is adjusting to being back in Hawkins but now he has El, who’s doing really well despite the whole saving the world thing. Mike and Dustin are spending a lot of time together they’ve thrown themselves into studying so they can graduate early and get the hell out of Hawkins. Lucas doesn’t know how to help Max so he’s kind of withdrawing from her and The Party.

Steve, isn’t doing well, he’s not eating and really not sleeping bc his house is so empty and he feels like he can’t talk about any of it with Robin bc she seems so okay. And so he’s just spending more time alone.

Eventually Max loses it, she flips her shit, the party doesn’t know how to help so they call Eddie and Steve who take her out of the house. They end up at The Quarry and finally they talk about it. Eddie tells them he has nightmares about not being saved and being left to bleed out in The Upside Down. And sometimes he forgets where he is bc of the memory shit and he feels like he’s going crazy. Max says she can’t stand needing to be helped with everything and her mom is mad at her and she has really bad nightmares about Vecna and it’s just not great. And finally Steve admits that he can’t handle being alone and he’s even taking to sleeping in the back room of The Family Video so he won’t have to go home. The three of them cry and cry.

After that tho, Eddie and Steve start staying together usually at Eddie’s bc it’s close to max and uncle Wayne is happy Eddie has Steve around to keep him company. More often the not they sit on the porch with max until she’s falling asleep on the steps between them. They take her home and finally make it back to Eddie’s bed.

Months later the government decides Max isn’t safe at The Hargrove home so they move her in with Joyce and Hop. She starts doing well in school again and even gets back together with Lucas, and maybe just maybe El gets a little crush on her.

Robin and Nancy finally convince Steve and Eddie to open up and life feels normal. Somewhere along the way Eddie and Steve start dating and even when they have a hard time sleeping they have each other to keep them company.
