The reason Steve doesn’t have success in dating after high school/his relationship with Nancy, has nothing to do with him being stuck in Hawkins at a minimum wage job. It has everything to do with the fact that he’s fundamentally changed in the last two years and yet, he’s still chasing the same type of women he wanted when he was King Steve.
That’s what Dustin is trying to tell him at Scoops the summer of 1985. And it clicks for a minute for Steve when he mistakes his friendship with Robin for romantic attraction, but then Robin rejects him and Steve goes back to chasing the girls King Steve chased. Because obviously it didn’t work with a nerdy girl, so they must not be his type.
But neither are the popular girls he’s chasing because they still see him as King Steve. The cocky and charismatic King of Hawkins High.
But Steve’s not that person anymore and he never will be again for reasons he can’t explain to these girls. And they don’t get it. They don’t get how the so-called King fell so far because they haven’t witnessed the new and improved version of Steve.
But you know who has?
Eddie.
Nerdy, hyper, over-the-top dramatic Eddie who no longer sees Steve as King Steve, but rather the new and improved Steve who cares deeply about his friends and will do everything to protect him.
Which is why they would have been the perfect couple if the Duffers weren’t cowards

You know what I love? Porn without a plot. You know what I also love? A long storyline with wonderful details and characters. You can love both. You can write both. Both are okay.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Sticks & Stones...
I'm sure we've all heard the phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me". Little kids learn it to counteract mean words said at playtime. It seems logical, physical harm should hurt more than words, but I think we all know from experience, that's just not true.
I didn't want to address this. I learned years ago in this fandom that if you address drama or anons it never ends well. However, I feel like this has to be said not necessarily for me, but maybe for younger me who wasn't as strong.
I received an anon that told me to kill myself because they didn't like a fic I wrote (I guess). I deleted the message because it's not worth my time. But those words are so hurtful. I thought back to younger me. Middle school me. High school me. Even early college me... I don't think that version of me would be strong enough to delete that message.
That version of me would hold onto it, perseverate on it, and those words would swirl in my mind and the anxiety and depression would tell me that's what people think. That's what you should do. I know logically that's stupid and it's an anon, delete and move on. But mentally, I wasn't strong enough...
I know that version of me is not alone. I know there are people in this fandom who struggle daily with their mental health. I know how hard it is for them. I can't imagine one of them getting a message like that.
Using language that promotes harm, like telling someone to "kill yourself," is harmful in so many ways. Whether you actually mean it and think that person should die, or you think it's just a phrase you say when you're angry, bored, or wanting to start drama, it's not okay. I'd love to say choose kindness and don't send any hate but I know that's not the world we live in.
However phrases like "kill yourself" are beyond the line. You cannot predict the mental state of the person you're sending it to. How would you actually feel if that person went through with it? What if their death is on your hands? Would you be okay with that? Would you be okay if the police came to your door and said you led to that person's death? (Don't think that happens? It does, the state police and FBI do investigate digital threats. I know because I work with kids who make and receive threats and have had to deal with the FBI investigating them... and anon doesn't matter the FBI will track the IP address). I don't want that for anyone here. So please, choose your words wisely.
If you are in a bad place and lashing out is all you have, come talk to me or someone else in this fandom. I know that it is hurt people that hurt other people. I know if you are sending words like that you've been hurt. Let's break the cycle together!
This post is not targeted toward any one person. Yes, it was motivated by the anon I got, but I really hope that anyone who has ever used that phrase might read this and take it to heart.
Please choose kindness or nothing at all. Our fandom is small enough. I don't want to see other people leave because they feel pushed out or leave because they did something they can't take back.
Oh, and to anyone who has received harmful words like that. You are not alone. You can come to me or others to talk. Please don't believe those words. You are stronger and better than that!
I'm not sure how to end this so, here is a cute picture:

Channeling my inner Alex Claremont-Diaz and curating a list of scenes that I need to be included in Red, White, and Royal Blue
(Disclaimer: This does not include scenes we already know are included from the trailer/interviews. It also takes into account the very sad fact that June, Luna, and Liam are not included in the movie)
1. Starting off with, a close up of the paneling with “Rule #1 Don’t Get Caught” etched into it
2. A flashback to a young Alex and the infamous Henry magazine poster he was obsessed with
3. Alex working through his sexuality crisis. If he doesn’t say he’s bisexual once in this movie, I will riot
4. THE RED ROOM SCENE!!!! (Specifically making out against the portrait of Alexander Hamilton)
5. Waking up in Paris together
6. Alex calling Henry "baby" and Henry positively melting
7. Split-screen scene of Alex and Henry lying in their beds as the two parentheses
8. The chaos of the hotel hallway scene after in-n-out and karaoke (RIP the scene of Pez, June, and Nora we're never going to get)
10. WHEN AT WIMBLEDON!
11. Henry playing the piano for Alex
12. Alex coming out to Ellen and Ellen's infamous PowerPoint (don't make me make them myself!!!)
13. The romantic quotes from historical love letters (and, of course, the inclusion of "History, Huh")
14. Alex and Oscar talking about Henry at the lake house
15. Bea's explanation of grief!
16. The world's reactions to the leak and truth about Alex and Henry
17. Alex's speech (again if he doesn't say the world bisexual I am rioting!)
18. The royal portraits!!!
19. Alex and Henry's perfect outfits for Election Day
20. Alex taking Henry to his childhood home in Austin

Self-Care Week
So the past few years I've done a Self-Care week for the week of my birthday. I've been very open with my mental health struggles. My birthday has always been a point of increased depression and anxiety so I've tried to increase self-care in the days prior to try to help.
I wasn't going to host one this year, but I can already feel my anxiety and depression rising so I'm going to put one together even if just for me.
However, I thought I'd put this out there. Normally, I pick some Self-Care ideas, but if you have any favorite self-care routines, goals, or tasks, please share them! I'd love to try new things or at least include things that help make others happy!
Last year, I also included an affirmation for each day so if you have one you love, please share if you'd like!
Thanks for anyone who shares ideas! I'll put them all together with things I've tried. The event will run March 01-07.
See the past couple years to get an idea what I've done if you're not sure: [2022] [2023]

Do I have more important projects with actual deadlines I should be working on? Yes. Did I write a silly failed shower sex ficlet instead? Also yes. Enjoy!
Also, they don’t actually do anything but there is some suggestive language/jokes so minors be gone!
When it came to showering, Eddie and Steve had very different ideas about the ideal water temperature.
Eddie’s used to fast, lukewarm showers that border more on the cold side. Years and years of conserving the hot water for Wayne and his aching bones have taught him how to be quick and adjust to the cold water hitting his body. If he’s honest with himself, he prefers the cold water now. It energizes him in a way a cup of bitter coffee never has.
Steve, on the other hand, is used to warm showers with water so hot it’s a degree away from scalding temperatures. The type of showers that leave the mirror fogged up and his body flushed red when he steps out fifteen or twenty minutes later.
Naturally, the first time Steve and Eddie decided to shower together was an utter disaster.
It was meant to be intimate and sexy. Steve had mentioned that he’d never fucked anyone in his shower before and Eddie, always eager to take a first away from Steve, had sprung up from the plush mattress and dragged him into the en suite.
They stripped the clothes off each other in a quiet sort of fervor. Eager, but also wanting to savor the moment. It wasn’t often they got to see each other like this. Standing bare in the warm lighting of Steve’s bedroom. Usually, they spent their time, naked on their backs in beds. This was different.
Marveling at Steve’s adonis-level body for too long always made Eddie a bit twitch, so after a moment or two he tugged him into the shower to officially get things started. At least, that was the plan but the minute the warm water landed on Eddie’s skin he let out an ear-piercing yelp and leaped so high, he nearly hit his head on the ceiling above.
“Jesus H. Christ,” he swore.
“What the hell, Eds?” Steve shouts back, slicking his wet hair back as the warm water hits his back.
“What do you mean ‘what the hell’ you’re the one who's trying to burn my dick off!”
Steve snorted, stepping further into the stream of hot water. “Don’t be dramatic. S’just a little warm.”
“Just a little warm,” Eddie mocked as he stepped further away from the shower head, backing himself into a corner. “Stevie, you’re turning redder and redder by the second. It’s too hot!”
“No such thing as too hot.”
“My dick begs to differ!”
Without waiting for Steve to retort, Eddie reached a hand into the scalding water and turned the faucet 45 degrees in the opposite direction. In a matter of seconds, the water started cooling off. Eddie had never been more grateful for Steve’s fancy ass house and working water heater system than that moment.
This time it was Steve who yelped as the cold water assaulted his body. Thankfully, he didn’t leap like Eddie had and instead sidestepped out from under the faucet leaving enough room for Eddie to dive right under the cool stream.
“Now this is an appropriate water temperature.”
“Are you kidding me?” Steve scoffed. “My dick is shriveling up in this! Look!”
Eddie’s gaze immediately dropped and yeah, okay, that was going to be a problem.
“Damn, you really are a grower.”
“Oh my god,” Steve groaned before yanking Eddie away from the shower head.
Just as Steve was about to turn the faucet in the other direction, Eddie’s hand was on his, holding it steady.
“Eddie! I’m going to freeze if I don’t make it warmer.”
“And I’m going to melt! It’s not that bad, you’ll get used to it.”
“I don’t want to get used to it. You get used to my temperature.”
They stayed like that, hands clutched around the faucet, bickering back and forth for several more moments before coming to an impasse. In the end, neither one won The Great Water Temperature Debate and instead, they sprinted back into Steve’s room to satisfy themselves the old-fashioned way: sprawled out on Steve’s mattress, taking turns tearing each other apart.
It wasn’t until years later when they stayed at a hotel with dual shower heads, that they finally got to cross “shower sex” off their not-safe for Dustin’s eyes bucket list.

I’ve lost 40+ followers since that drama the other day. And I just wanna say that I won’t apologize for sticking up for myself. Also I am very mentally ill and those are just the facts. It’s not something I enjoy but it’s something I live with on a daily basis and my impulse control is something I struggle with badly. I’m not perfect. Sometimes I break down, sometimes I have outbursts and embarrass the fuck outta myself but I’m always raw and true to me. Even the parts of myself I don’t love. I’ll never pretend to be someone I’m not. And not everyone has to like me and that’s okay. Anyways, I hope everyone is having a beautiful Saturday and thanks to those who still love my crazy ass. 🖤🖤🖤 I love my little phone friends and you guys really do make me smile on the daily. 😘

On an aside... my father is in surgery right now. He's been in for over 9 hours and was supposed to be out 2+ hours ago and we haven't gotten any word and I'm getting really nervous, so if you believe in prayer, I'd appreciate you saying one for my dad. Thank you 💛
