steve Harington future dilf headcanon
no bc let's talk about it Steve Harrington is an aspiring DILF. As someone with diagnosed dilfism (read: brainrot) I know a thing or two about these things.
Ofc we know the obvious things, Steve has all the ingredients, he's great with kids, protective and is a laid-back fun-loving dude.
But here are some of my headcanons for a dilf!harrington:
can't cook, but loves to try, Saturday morning pancakes while the kids watch cartoons, but he gets distracted because a fun one comes on, and now the fire alarm is going off and the smell of smoke lingers in the kitchen for a few hours.
HANDS-ON HIPS, DAD STANCE ACTIVATED
he's a very talkative guy, so the "because I said so" way of parenting doesn't work, he gets an eye roll and the argument continues
incredibly patient, even if he raises his voice Steve always keeps his composure, keeping his empathy intact. He'd rather understand his kids than have them obey his every word.
Gives everyone haircuts. He knows his stuff okay? There might be some pushback when he first offers, but he gives a damn good cut
(imagine steve opening up his own barber shop. Duffer brothers please, you could literally call it Harrington Hair PLEASE)
loves nicknames, will call any kid any nickname. "alright peaches", "hurry up sunshine!", "hey, bonbon come here,"
sports dad all the way, he's at every game, he buys all the merch, he gets a little too into it, coaching from the bleachers, "thats a goddamn foul!" he's on his feet no matter how hard he tries to chill
keeps forgetting he's not supposed to swear, "ah, shiiii... shoot" "dad you're not supposed to say the s word." "I said shoot. I said shoot! Shoot is not a swear word... Just, don't tell mom."
Always has a word of wisdom or advice, it might even get annoying sometimes, "you know my dad once told me...", "a wise man once said...", "that reminds me of the time..."
Dad jokes.
Should really stop helping with math homework after grade 6, but he tries, goes over the textbook, tries to call up a friend, "we were not learning that when I was in school."
road trips ROAD TRIPS
keeps a music collection in the car just for the occasion (his precious tapes), telling scary stories by the campfire, fishing but catching nothing
as much as he complained about babysitting, he's great with kids, he loves kids, he's great with them and he literally has to admit he loves it
sarcastic looks at PTA meetings
doesn't get his kid's references. he's a little clueless but he's got the spirit "what's the inter...net...? Internet? Okay, whatever, kiddo, as long as you like it. AND BE SAFE."
hates those "some assembly required" toys, or even furniture, "what... goddamn language is this...?" losing pieces, quietly whisper yelling, but beaming from ear to ear when it's all put together.
holiday guy 1000%, goes all out when he can.
okay that's all I can think about for now.
