I was listening to Bruises by Chairlift a few weeks ago and got this idea and then I forgot to finish it until now. More pre-slash with silly boys being silly / just over 660 words / rated T
“Hey, Steve,” Eddie says, waiting until Steve, who is lounging on the plaid picnic rug nearby, looks his way.
Steve crunches into his apple. “What?”
Eddie rubs his hands together, blowing on his palms, winking at Steve, who merely raises his brows. “Check this out,” he says, then he bends at the waist and lets his hands sink into the sun-warmed grass.
He takes a moment to gather himself and is about to push when something hits his ass. The apple core falls at his feet and he looks back between his legs to see Steve whistling in a purposefully fake innocent way.
“Hey, I’m trying to show you something.”
“Your ass?” Eddie wiggles his hips from side to side and Steve barks out a laugh. “Wish I had another apple,” he says.
“Shut up,” Eddie says, and then he pushes his weight forward, transferring it to his hands, and then his legs are in the air and the world is turned around. “Yes!”
But the victory is brief because a second, or, okay, not even a second, later his legs are flailing and then he’s flat on his back on the ground. If he were a cartoon, this is about where little birdies would be flying around his head. “Ugh.”
“You can fall on your ass,” Steve says, “I’m impressed.”
“I was trying to do a handstand.”
Steve snorts and Eddie sighs. Mission amuse (and hopefully impress) Steve only half accomplished. A shadow falls over him and he looks up to see Steve staring down at him, one hand on his hip.
“You wanna see a handstand, huh?”
Eddie props himself on his elbows and nods. “Sure,” he says, “show me what you got.”
Steve moves a few feet away, making a show of rubbing his hands together and blowing on them the way Eddie did. And then his hands are on the ground and his feet are in the air and Eddie can’t see how he did it any differently than Eddie but seconds pass and he’s still on his hands, his stupidly pretty arms supporting his weight (seriously, how are his arms so pretty) and his legs pointing skyward.
The seafoam green t-shirt he’s wearing wasn’t tucked in, so it slips up, bunching under his arms, showing his strong back, the hint of the scars on his shoulder blades.
And his shorts… The shorts that have already been torturing Eddie all day for being so damn, well, short, they ride up too. His briefs are dark blue and that’s when Eddie’s brain short circuits.
“Now, that’s a handstand,” Steve says.
“Okay. You’ve made your point. I’m impressed.” Shit, impressed doesn’t even begin to cover it, Eddie thinks miserably.
And then Steve, the asshole, actually turns around. It should look ridiculous, someone essentially walking on their hands, but he makes it look cool. Even with his hair all sticking up (or down) and his face going red from the rush of blood he looks cool. And gorgeous. Steve winks and then his feet are back on the ground—one, two—and in one swift move he turns around and offers a hand down to Eddie.
Eddie takes it numbly, feeling more turned around than when he tried to do the handstand. “Guess I shouldn’t be surprised you can do a proper handstand.” He resolutely doesn’t look at Steve’s biceps when Steve crosses his arms over his chest.
“I can show you.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll show you. You’re nearly there, anyway.”
“I’ve already filled my falling-on-my-ass quota for the day, thanks.”
“I’ll spot you,” Steve says, “I won’t let you fall.”
Something warm unfurls in Eddie’s chest at that and all he can do is nod.
They practice and practice, Steve’s hands light on Eddie’s calves and, once or twice, his thighs, until between the blood rush and the little touches Eddie thinks he’s losing his mind. He declares he’s going to barf if he does another handstand after this one and Steve laughs but he doesn’t let Eddie fall.

Reminder that the DBs and Shawn Levy on Beyond Stranger Things called Billy, a 17 year old abuse victim, an irredeemable sociopath, and on another episode said that while his father's behavior MIGHT give a glimpse into Billy's behavior, it doesn't change the fact that he's (Billy) EVIL. And essentially something along the lines of he's the most evil human antagonist on the show. Yeah, they said that. Joe tried to defend Billy and say that even though he appeared popular and cool, he was actually hurting just like all the other characters and they brushed him off with "yes, sure" and proceeded to talk about how Steve was a popular jock. You're telling me a 17 year old abuse victim who, at worst (in season 2, this was before 3), bullied a few people and got in a couple fist fights is more evil and irredeemable than Dr. Brenner, a man who STOLE babies from their mothers and then (essentially) tortured them and experimented on them. Okay, sure. In what world does that make sense? In the words of Nancy Wheeler, it's bullshit.
Fuck anyone who ever perpetuates the idea that abuse victims are all abusers themselves who can't grow or learn, and fuck them for not redeeming Billy other than in death. He was a kid. Scared, lost, hurt, abused, misguided, and alone. One gentle touch and the reminder of the love and happiness of his mother and he threw off the control of an interdimensional monster and SAVED the whole fucking party. Fuck them for using him as a plot device for the party and to torture Max. Fuck them for having the party immediately trust and fill in Eddie, but not Billy. It's all bullshit and I'm pissed. He deserved a Steve Harrington level redemption arc. He deserved to learn, heal, and grow. I will never forget that they chose to write him out of the story in death instead of giving him true character growth.

Chapter Two: The Junkyard
Summary: After getting a worrying call from Billy, you take it upon yourself to follow Max and Lucas to the junkyard where you stumble upon a town secret involving your old friend/nemesis Steve. (2.6k words)
Author’s Note: This one’s kind of a Fem!Reader x Steve Harrington fic, but mostly just the reader’s introduction to The Upside Down (It does include a protective Steve, tho!). The next few chapters will mostly be about Steve since it’s the plot of season 2, but Eddie will definitely be back don’t worry! Warnings: Just swearing, creepy demogorgon stuff and a near death experience.
Masterlist
Tumblr media
November 4th, 1984
Steve Harrington was an asshole. A Grade A, yuppie wannabe piece of shit.
Yet here he was, shielding your body with his as he clutched a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it, promising you that you weren’t going to die.
Earlier that evening, you were sketching in your room with your headphones on. Usually, drawing helped keep your mind off of things, but you were finding it hard to get away from your nagging thoughts. This was probably due to your anxiety about facing Eddie in the morning. 
You were so deep in concentration that you hadn’t noticed your mother waving her arms wildly as she tried to get your attention. You lowered your headphones so you could hear her tell you that somebody was calling you on the phone downstairs. 
“Hello?” You said into the phone after you raced downstairs and your mother handed it off to you. You were surprised that someone was calling you on a Sunday evening. Actually, you were surprised that somebody was calling you at all.  
“Yeah, this is Billy. Do you happen to know where my brat of a step-sister is?”
“Max?”
You could hear his eye roll through the phone.
“Yes. Max.”
“No, why?”
“You hang out with her, right? Do you know where she might be?”
You fought the urge to rebuke that comment. You didn’t necessarily “hang out” with her. But you couldn’t deny that you had developed a bit of a friendship, especially after your heart-to-heart with her in the McDonald’s parking lot. Okay... so maybe it was a little bit true.
“Is she in danger Billy?” 
“She’s definitely about to be. Look, do you know where she is or not?”
You didn’t like the sound of that. You did have a few ideas about where she may be, but you knew better than to tell Billy anything. 
“No, I’m sorry. I don’t. But will you let me know if you -”
He hung up before you could finish your sentence, and you stared at the phone in disgust before you slammed it back down on the receiver. Billy was the biggest dick you had ever met, and the way he always insisted on torturing Max was vile. You remembered your goal to keep him away from her. You weren’t about to quit now. 
You grabbed your jacket and called out weakly to your parents to ask if you could borrow the car, not actually wanting to get their attention. You decided to take the silence as a yes and deal with the consequences later. 
Then, as you were about to get into your car, you saw Max hanging on to Lucas Sinclair as they rode his bicycle down the street. 
You scoffed and paused for a moment as you processed this, watching them ride carelessly past you. You knew she was safe now, but had a nagging feeling that you should probably follow her anyways in case Billy did find her. Who knew what would happen if he did? Especially now that Lucas was involved. 
“Shit,” you muttered and got into your car. Following around a couple of kids on a bicycle was definitely not in your weekend plans. 
You followed them as closely as possible until they veered off the road towards the old junkyard. You muttered another expletive to yourself and parked your car on the side of the road. 
You figured it was okay now to give them some space. You would be able to see Billy approaching from the road. But as time went on and the sun started to go down, you began to feel more and more antsy. 
What the hell were they doing? You hoped to god that they weren’t making out or something. If so, then you felt like a major creep. But when you heard a strange, animalistic roar coming from the direction of the junkyard, you started to panic. Before you even knew what you were doing, you jumped out of the car and ran towards the sound. 
You called out Lucas and Max’s names, but when you made it to the junkyard, you saw Steve Harrington instead. He was wielding a baseball bat with giant nails sticking out of it.
“Y/N? What are you doing here?” He asked in confusion, lowering his bat slightly. You were kinda surprised that he remembered your name. 
“Steve Harrington?” You called in complete disbelief at what you were seeing. For some reason, it didn’t feel right only calling him by his first name. “What the fuck is going on?”
He didn’t respond. He just lurched towards you and pulled you behind him when another chittering sound came from the trees. 
“What the hell are you doing? What was that?!” You squeaked. Everything about this was completely batshit. You almost thought you were hallucinating. 
“Just don’t move!” He demanded. 
You snapped your head towards the abandoned school bus behind you when you thought you saw movement. Max and Dustin Henderson were peeking out from some wire that had been haphazardly nailed to the windows. Max had a confused and terrified look on her face as she recognized you, and you wanted to go to her immediately, but you remembered Steve’s warning not to move. You had no idea what was going on and absolutely no reason to trust him, but the way he had grabbed you to shield you made you feel like you should. You were sure he wouldn’t be protecting you unless there was a very good reason for it. 
“Steve! Watch out!” You heard a voice scream from the roof of the bus. You realized that it was Lucas. 
“Little busy here!” Steve snapped back at him.
“Three o’clock! Three o’clock!”
You turned back towards the direction Lucas had called out and almost fell to the ground from what you were faced with. 
It was a horrific looking creature that stood on four legs. Your brain tried to rationalize it, but came up short. There was nothing on planet earth that looked the way that thing did. It didn’t even have a face, just a mouth with rows and rows of teeth surrounding it. 
You stumbled backwards and Steve caught you with an arm behind his back, pressing you into him. 
“Steve, seriously, what the fuck is that?!” You pleaded as quietly as you could muster. You wanted to scream but did your very best to hold it in. “Oh my god, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die,” You kept repeating. 
“Just stay calm, alright? We’re not going to die. I got you.”
Even though he sounded just as terrified as you when he said this, there was something about his arm holding you steady that made you believe it. Your fists were gripping the back of his jacket with desperation, your breath becoming shallower by the minute. Then three more of the creatures appeared from the shadows and you were sure that it would only be a matter of time before you passed out. 
“Steve! Abort! Abort!” Dustin called, now at the door of the bus.
Steve turned his head slightly towards you and whispered, “Run.”
You froze, terrified, and he repeated it again louder to snap you out of your horror. After the second time, you obeyed him, stumbling on your feet as you bolted towards the bus. You could hear the sounds of a fight as you ran, but didn’t dare turn and watch. If Steve was about to die, you really didn’t want to bear witness. 
You made it to the bus and fell to the floor as the kids gestured wildly for Steve to join you. By some miracle, he made it and fell down beside you. Then without hesitation he slammed the door shut and pressed a large sheet of metal against it with his feet to try to keep the creatures out.
“They can’t get in! They can’t!” Lucas shouted, but it sounded more like a desperate question than a pronouncement. 
As if to answer him, one of the monsters ripped through the metal and the kids were pulling you with them towards the back of the bus. 
Steve was hitting it wildly with his bat as you watched in terror. Dustin tried to get a hold of somebody on his walkie talkie for help, and then a pair of claws suddenly pierced through the wall behind you. You screamed and fell backwards as Dustin shouted into the walkie that you were all gonna die. You believed it wholeheartedly now.
An eerie silence suddenly fell over everyone as the roof of the bus began to give way from the steps of one of the beasts. You all gazed up at the open emergency exit as it slowly came into view. It was the closest look you had gotten of it yet, and if you weren’t sure it was something straight out of a nightmare before, you were certain now. 
Max was closest to it and began to scream. You pulled her away from it by her jacket and wrapped your arms around her shoulders in a last-ditch effort to protect her. 
Steve rushed forward and yelled for all of you to get out of the way, then wielded his bat at the monster as its head split open to show all of its teeth. He dared it to come and get some, and just when you were certain you were about to watch him get eaten alive, the creature seemed to be distracted by something off in the distance and retreated.  
Everyone was silent as you all waited and listened. You let go of Max and slumped down to the floor as Steve and the kids left the bus to make sure the coast was actually clear. You stared into space as they spoke to each other, still trying to process what had happened.
A few hours ago, you were in your bedroom drawing alone. Now you were in a rusted out school bus with a bunch of kids and Steve Harrington after almost being eaten alive by monsters from hell. 
You flinched when you felt a hand rest gently on your shoulder. 
“Sorry…” Steve said with a grimace as he quickly pulled his hand away. “Are you okay?”
You looked up at him, then saw the kids standing behind him. They seemed to be handling the near death experience remarkably well. Certainly much better than you, anyways. You were slightly embarrassed by this, and also worried that your fear might rub off on them. 
Steve turned and looked at them too, then asked them if they could give the two of you a minute alone. They obeyed and went to the front of the bus to sit by the door. 
“Hey, listen. I know this shit is crazy. Believe me. I was put in this exact position last year. You’re not alone, okay? We’re all freaked out. But we have to go now.”
You nodded but still didn’t move. 
“How did you get here?” He asked. 
“I… drove,” You responded shakily.
“Okay. Do you think you’ll be good to drive home? We can walk you to your car.”
You stared at him. There was no way you wanted to be alone tonight. The idea of sitting in your room and trying to sleep after what you had just witnessed made you sick to your stomach. Besides, you came here for Max, and there was no way you were going to abandon her now. 
“I’m not leaving,” You said. 
“Y/N… don’t try to be a hero, alright? We’ve got a long night ahead of us and you don’t know what’s going on. You stumbled into this. Nobody would blame you for walking away right now.”
“I’m not leaving,” You repeated defiantly. “I came here to look out for Max, and I’m certainly not going to leave her and the rest of these kids alone with you now that I know there are freaky faceless monsters running around trying to eat everybody. Okay? End of discussion.”
He seemed impressed by your determination, but the truth was that you really didn’t have any other option but to join whatever quest they were about to go on. There was no way you would be able to move on from this unless you faced it head on. You needed answers.
He stood up and extended a hand, and you reluctantly took it and let him help you off the floor of the bus. 
“Alright,” He said with a sigh. “Let’s go, then. We’ll do our best to explain on the way.”
“So, you stalked me?” Max asked with a laugh after you explained what you were doing at the junkyard. You were all following the railroad tracks out of the woods.  
“Maybe just a little. I wasn’t planning on actually intervening unless Billy showed up. But then I heard those… things. Demogorgons. Demodogs? Whatever.”
Everyone had done their best to explain the situation to you, but you were having trouble fully wrapping your mind around it. All you really understood was that those monsters were what the government scientists at the lab were trying to cover up, and they had something to do with Will’s disappearance. Apparently Lucas had filled Max in earlier that day, but she hadn’t actually believed him until after what she had just witnessed. You were sort of glad that you weren’t the only one who was new to all of this. 
Dustin, Steve and Lucas were arguing about something as you were talking to Max, and you tuned back in to listen to them. Apparently, Dustin had found a tiny little critter in his trash cans and called him Dart, and it turned out that Dart had actually been a baby version of a demogorgon. It also turned out that Dustin finally realized this when he found Dart munching on his cat, Mews. Your face twisted in horror when Steve forced him to admit this, and Lucas seemed angry that Dustin tried to hide it. They started yelling at each other as you, Steve, and Max watched on helplessly. 
“Guys, who cares? We have to go!” Max tried to interrupt, but it didn’t work. 
“I care! You put the party in jeopardy! You broke the rule of law!” Lucas screamed.
“So did you! You told a stranger the truth!” Dustin defended himself, shining his flashlight straight into Max’s eyes to indicate that she was she stranger he was talking about. 
“A stranger?” Max scoffed, clearly offended by this. 
“You wanted to tell her, too!” Lucas continued, ignoring her. 
“But I didn’t, Lucas, okay? I didn’t tell her!”
Steve gave you a look that said, ‘Do you see what I have to deal with?’ As they continued to scream at each other. You smiled back at him apologetically and almost said something, but you were interrupted by loud screeching in the distance. 
You watched Steve with wide eyes as he walked off towards the trees, his flashlight guiding his investigation. 
“Hey guys?” He called, trying to get the boys to stop arguing and focus on the task at hand. When they didn’t stop, he turned around and yelled it louder. 
They all jumped and went quiet, then immediately tuned into the sounds of the demogorgons. Dustin and Lucas followed Steve further into the trees as you and Max watched.
“No, no, no. Hey, guys, why are you headed towards the sound? Hello?!” Max called after them, then muttered an expletive and turned to look at you with an exasperated expression.
You shrugged back at her and gave a sympathetic smile.
“Well, do we follow them into Mordor or bail now? It’s your call, Mad Max. I’ll follow your lead.”
After giving this some thought, she let out an exaggerated sigh and silently decided to go after the boys. As promised, you followed closely behind her. 
You had no idea what the rest of the night would entail, but from there on out, you knew that there would be no turning back.

finally i’m in the mood and i need for you guys to consider this!! 🪱
eddie is super pale right? and hairless. so his belly is super creamy almost like a marshmallow right
just thinking about steve leaving red lovebites and hickeys covering his pale, silky smooth, milky chub in pink marks. maybe claiming him.. steve’s teeth sinking into his belly sucking
OH what if eddie comes into family video to give the guys a hand, and he’s bending over to stock some tapes and robin sees the red marks lining his stomach peeking underneath his shirt. robins like …. hm…. suspicious… so eddie’s just like oh OH it’s just um. oh my pants got too small!! haha yeah. just um. a bit tight i guess.. must’ve gained some weight. eaten too much, steve’s just taking such good care of me! haha…
the brat fucking knows he’s gained weight but he’s just bought new jeans and he knows where those red marks are from. and they’re not from jeans
and steve in the back whips around because ??? eddie saying that loud should not turn him on as much as it does, and the fact that robin can see his marks, yet eddie is denying it? steve is gonna have to mark him up more, show everyone just how he belongs to him. he is going to feed him up and he is gonna mark him up. he’s gonna make those jeans too tight, teach eddie a lesson for lying.
i hope the idea i’m trying to get across gets there ?? 🪱
Oh my God it absolutely does, wormie!!
You're so right that Eddie would mark up very easily (i apparently have a think for pale pasty boys, because now I want this for Mickey too) and, like, imagine an unrestrained Stevie going absolutely feral on Eddie's tits like while he's sitting in Steve's lap.
Like, he'd want to suck them so bad because they're just so big and juicy and when he does Eddie's nips get so pretty and puffy and look redder, and he knows when Eddie gets his shirt back on he moans when he gets little shocks from the fabric dragging along his sensitive nipples.
And of course he squeezes his arms around Eddie's trunk and it just gives him the most amazing cleavage for Steve to bury his face in and motorboat (he fantasizes about his head being completely surrounded by Eddie's tits and it makes him twitch underneath him), and suck so many bruising hickies up his decolletage and on his neck.
And when he lays Eddie down to take care of him, because, yes, Eddie may call Steve his prince/princess, but Steve is just as capable of letting a food drunk/actually drunk/high Eddie be his "little" pillow prince. He gets into a kneeling position where he has Edd's big soft thighs hooked over his own, legs spread around Steve's waist, so that he has full access to Eddie's fat cock nestled in a thatch of soft hair, slowly being consumed by an angel soft pad of fat, below the thick wide blubbery roll of underbelly that tapers up just slightly as his round belly slopes down to those milky twin mounds.
But when he has Eddie in this position, he can give him the best most excruciatingly teasing torturously edging hand jobs, equal parts praising and teasing. He leans down to lick fat stripes up his belly, kissing open-mouthed and wet, marking, biting sucking angry, bruising red purple marks into all his softest places. Usually while they're doing this, Steve is using a free hand to feed Eddie treats.
And so Eddie comes in to Family Video as usual to pick out something he'll watch with Steve and he's in his tight shirt with the scoop neck he cut into it, his tight jeans that are worn low under his belly and like staying up over his dump truck ass by the grace of God and just sheer tension of having so much boy stuffed into them.
Just normal interactions with Robin greeting her while Steve is stocking things. At first she notices a hickey high on Eddie's neck and just thinks 'jesus, could Steve act anymore like straight out of a John Hughes movie?'
But then Eddie's reaching up for something high and his shirt rides up revealing his belly and she sees the bite marks and purple red splotches peppering that thick lower lip of his gut and her 'this is a sex thing' alarms start going off. But when Eddie leans over the counter to BS with her and and she sees the marks on his tits down his shirt, she gets so smug and starts talking loudly.
"Still looking for a movie, Munson? You should try Fright Night. Vampire horror flick. Feel like you and Harrington might get a kick out of it."
"Oh, is that right?"
"Yeah," she looks pointedly down at his chest and maybe his belly is resting on the counter and she can see again "Looks like you had your own tussle with a blood sucker, or you know some other kind of sucker."
Steve feels his neck bristle and he like breaks out in a cold sweat.
So Eddie, purposefully obtuse, "Oh yeah the stretch marks, guess I've been hitting the food pretty hard. Tough not to with Stevie around. If I didn't know any better I'd say he was trying to fatten me up, or something."
And suddenly Robin catches on, looking straight at Steve who looks like a deer in the headlights, "Oh, is that so?"
And Eddie is looking at Steve from over Robin's shoulder giving him one of those devil horn, tongue out grins and Steve is so fucking bashful he just chuckles it off stammering something until Robin tunes back around to ring Eddie out. Meanwhile Steve is fixing Eddie with a playful glare, smiling, and mounting 'just you wait, Munson.'
He'll wipe that grin right of Eddie's face, by stuffing him until pops that hair tie struggling to keep his jeans together.

i don't know if you plan to go any further with the Dustin's sister x steddie story but i can't stop thinking about Dustin trying to explain to steve everything he can about the lotr universe so he'll be ready to fight back the next time eddie try to disturb him 👀❤️
Hi, anon!! OMG thanks for sending this i love to talk about this concept!!
First of all, I do plan to continue that series with two more parts for the seasons i haven't wrote about yet. I only gave myself a little rest because i have been writing and consuming a lot of stranger things fanfict for the last month and i was afraid i could end up burnout. I plan to continue, i only gave it a rest to avoid getting a block.
That being said, i LOVE this and i can so imagine it happening. I'm picturing Steve asking Dustin to explain him the things he heard from the reader, at first not wanting to admit it is because she said those to him.
Like, after Eddie told him he didn't deserve the comparison to a captive elve escaping Mordor before becoming an orc, Steve wants to know exactly what she meant with that. She made it sound so sweet and it clearly pissed off her freak friend, so it had to be something really nice although he isn't completely sure because he has no idea.
I'm gonna keep this with a little untituled blurb (sorry for any possible mistakes, i am not doing a second read so it is unedited) :
" They talk on this weird slang, i can't get what they say and I know Munson does it on purpose." Steve was venting to his younger friend. " It's like he constantly tries to remind me i don't belong there because I am not like him. "
Dustin had no calming explanation for that part, other than the defensive mechanisms of nerd culture, but he was at least able to explain it for him.
" What do you mean with ' weird slang'? What does he bring up in front of you?"
" It's that Lord of the Rings thing. Well, i found out it was that when she said it because he does it all cassualy as if it was some code they share."
The implied jealousy was unbelievable to his listener.
" Maybe they are just being nerds together. How do you know the dude wants to make you feel left out?"
" He called me an orc, then your sister said i was like a captive elve escaping them and that upsetted him. Munson said i didn't deserve it. What the hell does that mean? "
The kid's smile indicated the answer was as positive as he once guessed.
" She thinks you are a great guy, he thinks you are an asshole and she is trying to prove him wrong. " Dustin summarized before proceding into a more tecnical explanation. " The creation of orcs is a process that imitates the bíblical origin of demons. Just as the first demons were in fact corrupted angels, Tolkien ubicates the origins of this race of dicks on the long imprisonment of captured elves. After a really long time of prison, tortures and degradations, this corrupted form of life mutated into what the Third Age Middle Earth we read in Lord of the Rings knows as an Orc. For what i understand, the dude must have compared jocks to orcs, what it's actually brillant, yet (y/n) said that your process of transformation never completed. "
The little things he catched in the speech made him feel really good. Steve got to understand at least one bassical point of it.
" She said i am a beated up angel?"
It was on oversimplification, but his friend allowed him to have it.
" To the practical purposes of this talk? Yes. Never call a warrior elve a ' beated up angel' in front of anyone else, specially that guy."
Steve got a bit of a foolish smile just of thinking about your words, finnaly getting deeper understanding of those. It made him wonder how many more details he was missing.
" Who is her favorite character in the books?"
" It depends on how to define a favorite. Is it simbolically or by personal identification?"
" Do you used to play about that shit when you were kids, ríght? It must have been one of your little nerd games. Who did she liked to play as?"
" That's an easy one: Lady Eowyn of Rohan." The boy commented with relaxed determination. " She is not one of the nine companions, but she is a real badass. Meriadoc Brandybuck and her teamed up to kill the Witch King of Angmar, the leader of Sauron's scariest servants that are called Nazguls. "
" Is she a princess or…?"
" Niece of a King, tecnically. " Dustin continued, with excitement. " If you are asking this just to make a comparison that would flatter her, then i need to tell you all what's needed to know about the character.
Steve listened to the ramble with increased attention, but he got ocassionally lost in the naming of weird places and persons that couldn't be explained without tedious delays into other topics. Fantasy was really complicated to learn about in one take, the worldbuildings were intrincated and that was only one universe of the many others in the genre. What sticked the most with him was the description of the warrior princess, her feat and the love triangle plot that Dustin was about to skip if he wouldn't have asked him not to.
" It's just some minor drama that doesn't add much to the plot. " The kid insisted. " Remember how i told you about this nine companions that left Rivendel together, then split by circunstancies? "
" The Fellowship of the Ring. "
" Yes, exactly! And how i told you they have this implícit leader that nobody actually named leader, but kind of takes that role?"
" The wild ranger."
" Strider, his real name is Aragorn and in fact he is meant to be the King of Gondor. " Dustin confirmed. " After the Fellowship splitted Aragorn met Eowyn in Rohan and she fell in love with him, but her feelings were not destined to be required. Aragorn's destiny is to be a gondorian King and marry an elve lady, but Eowyn meet him as this dude who helped save her uncle's kingdom and that impressed her. She hero worshipes him, to her he is like a rockstar and he doesn't seem to mind that she likes swords so she is super happy. "
" But they don't end up together."
" No, she marries the little brother of Boromir. Faramir, he is as much of a hobbit nanny as his older brother was, only ignored by their father. "
That was all he needed to hear, Steve's most valuable conclussion of the talk.

Murder Wives Ronance edition?
Robin being under the influence of Vecna and leading Nancy into a false sense of security so she falls under Vecna's influence and they become "evil" it actually more like Vecna brings their dark desires to the forefront of their personality while also planting some of his own twisted past times in their brains
Time line wise
-Trying to escape the Upside Down Robin decided to go ahead of Steve and Nancy in trying to get to Max (she's their child so)
-Vecna who's not dead sees this as an opportunity and attacks Robin, a very short fight later Vecna is gripping Robin's head up and doing the Teen Wolf claws in the back of the neck move which lets him place memories that aren't real and twists a few memories
-Steve finds Robin's beret on the ground and freaks out finding her a few feet away bloody and leaning against a tree, Nancy hears Steve screaming and doesn't know how to function when she sees Robin
-Steve carry's Robin out of the Upside Down before the gates split open (for the stake of the party I'm keeping Eddie alive and Max isn't in a coma)
-Dustin is in tears seeing Robin bloodied and unconscious in Steve's arms and has Eddie help him walk because Nancy has been in a state of shell shock since finding Robin
-Instead of 2 days it's more like 5 days after until Robin wakes up but it's like a switch flipped inside her, she's quite, aggressive, more sarcastic, rude, think flayed Billy but more calculated (she shoves Steve into a walk hard enough to crack the brick from the force)
-The AU where Robin does knife tricks to stim is very canon same thing with secretly buff Robin
-Robin has a vision like Billy had where he slammed Karen's head into the shelves but it's Robin taking a scalpel and killing doctors, nurses, families her friends everyone.
-Robin still acts like Robin though, she just has times were she doesn't act like herself (her personality doesn't change it's more she has a sadistic side to herself like an alter ego and the longer she has it the more the personality's blend that the party can't tell between the alter and Robin)
-Vecna attacks the group 4 weeks after Robin wakes up (the Upside Down has been bleeding into the normal world since the split but this was a focused attack)
-Robin and Nancy get split up from the group and this is when Robin hits Nancy over the head with a rock, Robin also licks Nancy's blood off of the rock (this will be explicit if the murder didn't cue you in, these two are some sadistic and masochist people which also means questionable kinks and smut, I won't go into detail but you can imagine. There also switches so everyone can be happy) Robin's all sadistic smirk and "I'm sorry princess, but you're too valuable for you to be against us. I wouldn't want you falling into Steve or Jonathan's arms while I'm away now would I?"
-Jealous and possessive Robin and Nancy?? Nancy killing Vickie after she's too flirty to Robin during an infiltration mission?? Robin beating up a guy after he gets handsy with Nancy?? Agressive make outs??? Wall pining??? Knife up to throat while kissing??? HOT AND COLD PLAY??? WAX??? okay I'll stop here but you get the idea
-Vecna also isn't very family friendly so there is torture, eating disorder, starvation, dissociation, questioning one's sanity, self harm, attempting suicide, night terrors and sexual assault
-Although Nancy and Robin are murdering and infiltrating government operations as their alters they are aware of everything and they are themselves whenever their not working for Vecna. So all the night terrors are delt with calm words and soft touches, any wounds are carefully cleaned and properly treated, reassuring touches, forehead kisses and just resting foreheads together, cuddles and just holding each other while they break apart and sure they like the pain, it makes sure that they are themselves (their alters have the feeling of pain shut off but it comes back once they are in control)
-Once Vecna is defeated and the fights with the party and the murder wives are finally over Robin and Nancy get so much therapy like their in their for 3 years minimum, the party forgives them seeing as the weren't in control of themselves and it's tearful and so soft
-The get a therapy dog for their PTSD and depression seeing as those two are the worst of their illnesses.
That's like the very very basic story outline
PS I was listening to Phonk music while writing this because their was traffic while I was on the bus back home so I would recommend listening to some while reading

it's 5am and im up for no reason time for everyones favorite segment: ryan's bad opinion corner
todays episode: stranger things fandom and ficdom pet peeves and things i find silly
disclaimer: it's 5am i'm grumpy and none of these things are worth getting angry about. i don't actually get mad at people who do this stuff or write these things. in fact i love torturing myself but more than that i like to read and sometimes people take these things and make it fun or dramatic and i love drama. most of these are just silly little things. we all have them snd i know for a fact that some people's pet peeve is just like. everything ive ever written
people who can't talk about mike wheeler without making it obvious how much they hate him irrationally. especially in fic. why are you making him so antagonistic towards everyone he is so desperate to be liked. have u seen that kid. have u watched the last four seasons of stranger things
people who can't be normal about billy. real bad opinion corner type shit but like. i wish people could write or talk about him without either excusing how shitty he is OR absolving him of all that. if you make him a cartoon villain you're kind of diminishing how fucked up and racist he was in canon, like that isn't enough to make him a shitty guy and an antagonist on his own. let people explore his character without forcing them to pick between "needs to be tortured to death for his crimes on screen Or Else you're a billy apologist" and "needs to be forgiven by everyone and kiss steve at the end"
not a pet peeve just kind of a thing that makes me tilt my head a bit bc i think it's kind of silly. future fics where dustin and suzie get married... like they met before high school i love suzie so bad but like what is the chance that every single one of the kids in the show is going to be with their middle school sweetheart their entire lives. this opinion does not extend to lucas and max i hope they get married.
when people imply that eddie or robin are biphobic. biphobia exists and is complicated and can be explored in fic or whatever but when i see gay characters who are massively biphobic and only the gay characters who are massively biphobic it sure rubs me the wrong way. gay people are not biphobic by default. ESPECIALLY IF ITS LIKE
fic where steve is literally fucking eddie and eddie's like "man i cant believe hes fucking me and he's straight and doesn't like men at all" like thats not even biphobic at that point like eddie you need to be punched in the head with a blunt object you are just stupid and not in a cute way. i can't read several thousand words of that. no one would act like that even if they were biphobic
when nancy isn't annoying. make her annoying. make her abrasive and judgmental and kind of mean. but also like. don't forget that she's like very smart and helpful and caring and full of guilt and love. you think she can't be good and amazing and also a bitch? god forbid women do anything.
******* just in general but i don't want to be crucified ive already made two deeply inflammatory statements
when people don't love lucas enough. love him more. you are silly.
when you're mad about popular fanon and write an angry fic basically using the characters to make your point for you. and i totally get it. if u hate that trope u can also say hit da bricks. but i can tell how pissed off u were about this while writing and it does not make me agree with u more. in fact it's an interesting enough thought experiment that it can stand on its own and having the argument in the fic where you're basically mad at the fandom makes me less inclined to agree with you or want to keep reading. this is mainly because fic is something that is enjoyable to me when it's written out of love for an idea rather than frustration. you can always tell when the writer is annoyed and it makes it wayyy less enjoyable to read
i feel like that last one was kinda mean (or it was before i took out the particular context bc even though it's unlikely anyone will read this i dont want the person who wrote the thing im talking about to catch wind of it) so im going back to sleep i love you
last one
people who go out of their way to tell an author that their headcanon is unrealistic or their writing pisses them off or they didn't like how something played out or how someone was characterized. get over it please if you didn't like it, it wasn't for you. complain to your friends if you must, not the artist. don't make people feel like shit i'll cut off the roof of your house like wile e coyote and i AM serious about this one

im sorry for how long this got and maybe this is stupid but idc and ur one of the few st fans i know with a brain So. i hate how in the stddie fandom there's this popular widespread idea that steve is submissive both sexually and just generally in his life like i dont know where it came from i dont know why its so overwhelmingly popular i hate how people dont even tag it a lot of the time so you end up reading a fic you think might be good and end up with more uwu sub steve drivel when 1) it doesnt fit his canon personality 2) eddie isnt canonically dominating either he just puts up a petty despot facade for hellfire 3) this fandom took a character who For One had a lot of his arc (when he still had an arc lol) center around not being passive and cruising through life on the path of least resistance anymore but instead taking up more leadership and responsibility in taking care of others and For Two was literally fucking tortured and otherwise physically assaulted multiple times in increasingly traumatic ways and ppl just went "yes he would love being restrained and controlled and hurt during sex. its hot to us so we dont have to think abt whether it fits the character or whether its playing into gross homophobic stereotypes at all"
no literally like. honestly i think it happens with steve IN GENERAL and happened before even eddie came into the picture people cannot fathom a man who is actively like kind/nurturing/overcoming a toxic masculinity of some kind without frankenstein warping him into some weird amalgamation of homophobia and reflected misogyny (somehow) like he's The Mom so eddie has to be The Dad naturally and people can't move beyond the collective fandomised consciousness to attempt any actual depth and end up just echo chambering. like okay the reason the duffer's kill steve's character so effectively is because the fanbase makes it their god given mission to slaughter him first LOL. steve is assigned femininity to the point of CONCERN.
but you're so right it's also super funny where people take this guy who very clearly does not like having no control and actively fights against things happening to the point where he becomes GENUINELY HYSTERICAL any time anything happens that he doesn't want to and they all go Oh he totally would want to do this especially in sex one of the most deeply vulnerable things you can do. i genuinely think it is just like this multi-headed horror show of root causes ranging from homophobia to just plain unhealthy unnatural and uncomfortable views on sex and relationships people internalise which can get very concerning very quickly. like the ethicality of "bd$m" aside (because like yeah i don't care what particular dynamics you do or don't like at the end of the day if it's portrayed well/healthily/let alone in character but i do not actually like any part of modern day bdsm itself and i think it's super funny that a bunch of online dorkuses think being like "b-b-but don't kinkshame/it's not hurting anyone/we're always discriminated against you're just like everyone else/etc" will actually stop me from being critical of a scene that is notorious for retraumatisation, the normalisation and romanticisation of actual abuse and is fundamentally overrun with straight cis men who want to hurt women and get away with it) i do not think steve is the type of person who would within 6 months at BEST be able to overcome his own fucking trauma and be able to do anything beyond a bit of mean-ish dirty talk or something let alone eddie AS WELL especially in something that is again as vulnerable trusting and belly-showing as SEX. like for a group of people who love to point out that clearly steve would be affected by everything that's happened to him including yeah The Literal Torture they just let it leak out of their brains the second they get to "indulge" which shows an uncomfortable lack of backbone at best. also eddie is just NOT the type of person who would like to do these things and i actually find it kind of like... it hurts my FEELINGS!!!! that people think he is this big mean cruel "sadodom". especially when they try and lean into him genuinely hating steve/being one of his poor little "victims" of steve's "bullying" like helloooo... idk maybe it's projection or something everyone's crazy
oh yeah and like i guess i understand the REASON why people would theoretically want to see steve be this submissive hurt little thing or something like no one has to explain to me the Hot to Not ratio here i've explained a bunch of different times how it's odd when people like, pseudo-guilt trip and go "it's so weird when u find him hot when he's hurt/bleeding/etc" but i just DON'T find it hot in this context and never will. and i don't think people can seperate the contexts.. clearly. a guy looking a little pathetic and beat up and nose bleeding everywhere is so miles and miles away from him looking like that cuz he was hurt in a sexual manner (by a partner) especially if it's in order to "take him down a peg" that they're not even in the same STATE!!! i also think it's reflected in things where people will "joke" about his bisexual awakening being "manhandled" which i don't think i have to explain the levels of CONCERN i have for. ugh.

Honestly have so many things to say. I’m just mad and sad. AGAIN, let me rant about Stranger Things, but this time, Volume 2. This is your warning if you have not watched it already and your general warning that these are my thoughts and opinions and as much as I encourage discussion, please do not fight me on this. It took me three times watching it to think about these and actually solidify them. So enjoy? Be mad with me? I don't know. Your choice.
Dr. Brenner / Papa absolutely did not deserve peace of mind and I am so happy El did not give him the satisfaction.
El could’ve explained to Dr. Brenner why she needs to go NOW. She heard the whole conversation from Max’s trailer. She could’ve explained to him that his earlier metaphor of the dam breaking is about to happen if we don’t move fast. But well, Dr. Owens was right on the money when he said Henry’s going to do this even before Eleven can throw a punch.
We all know Will is fruity and for me, he does not need to explicitly say "I am gay." to confirm that. That scene on the drive to Nevada was his coming out scene. I support my baby, I will always do. It hurts to see that Byler can never come out from this as we can also really see Mike's love for Eleven. It was even portrayed stronger when he did that whole speech for her. Also to mention the fact that Will cares for El just as much and would not get in the way of her happiness - her and Mike's happiness in this case. They better introduce a new man for him, one he truly deserves.
Seeing Robin heartbroken when she saw Vickie with an E broke me.
Argyle, the man that you are. The fact that he just accepted all these with ease and even offered solutions. And he even went with them to Indiana? My man.
Hopper did not just get hot. He was always so hot ever since! But guys, he lost so much weight because of torture and beatings and y'all are siiiiiick for saying he's hot now that he's basically malnourished. In real life, yes, David Harbour is fit but Jim Hopper endured a lot for you to say he’s HOT now.
JOPPER IS CANON NOW!!!!!!!
Eddie's metal concert best scene hands down. I love that man so much. It hurts to think what happened after.
The Russia plot did not stick out to me as much but I just have to trust their theory that that actually did help the kids an upper hand.
Antonov's lips are so pink, it's distracting. I wanna kiss him.
I don’t care much about Yuri but I am just glad he had a change of heart. Cutting too close to the sun but changed, nonetheless.
I never understood why Eddie and Dustin just didn't get a molotov as well. That could've helped them a lot. Or have the spears have fire as well?? I'm just so pissed cause they could've been more geared up! And the most prevalent thing is that the Upside Down's weakness is fire?? Like we have known this and why are we not using this information well?
I needed the comedic relief "I piggybacked from a pizza dough freezer." gave me.
NANCY, ROBIN, STEVE WERE LIKE CHOKING FOR HOW LONG??? LIKE HOW ARE THEY NOT DEAD??? OR EVEN PASSED OUT UNCONSCIOUS??? I DON'T GET IT.
"He is the monster, Henry. Not you." is giving "This isn't you. Look at me, Henry. Look at me."
Vecna be having a choke kink.
The whole speech of Mike is so corny but it made me SOB. His feelings are genuine and whole. I do not want Mileven to crumble and fall.
As much as I hate Jason and was satisfied to see him disintegrate, he looked so distressed, it made me feel so bad. He is the best example of a greatly written character. HE MAKES SENSE (but not one that favors us). I can't imagine how he feels by all these when he literally has no idea. If he wasn't delusional, he actually had room to grow, dare I say even be part of the group. If it was only explained to him (there was never time), he could've even helped with the plan. But see, I know he will never understand anyway. It was even so soft when he showed concern with Max as of course, he just doesn't get it!! He doesn't understand what's going on and you see another person be in the same position as your bestfriend - eyes white and in a trance. NEVERTHELESS, it is his fault Max was taken. He destroyed her headphones and beat up Lucas. He needs to say hi to Chrissy for me.
Jason's friend though? Like damn, my guy, she's just a child. That was so uncomfortable to watch.
Vecna, my man, you could have executed your plan fast if you stop with the speeches every time. This is a joke. Of course he needs to narrate for us.
Steve's dream of having six little nuggets is the cutest thing. What's not cute is saying you want/wanted it with Nancy. All the Stancy scenes this season was unnecessary. Not everyone needs a romantic interest. Their character development literally started when they broke up. As much as Steve had so much character development and matured and grew, making him STILL head over heels for Nancy just proves that maybe he didn't exactly grow that much then. It would've been better if he ended his whole ass speech by saying Nancy was the one that helped him grow (which he did) and that the dream of his is something that makes him hold on and try to save the world because it is something he looks forward to with someone else now (which he didn't). They could've portrayed a healthy, platonic ex relationship with them. As much as he loved her so much before, he was thankful for that love, that he got to experience it and that he really is prepared when someone else comes along. +
+ Steve is not my favorite this season, that includes him in Volume 1. I love him being a bestfriend to Robin. What's stopping him for being that with Nancy too and not an ex longing for a comeback? Him showing he has not moved on from her also makes the bathroom scene from Season 3 all the more sad. He was already having a confession to Robin in motion but now, apparently, he's back to square one? And just because a lesbian rejected him? I love Steve so much and he will always be my favorite adult teen but babe, you're not it this season. Your whole character is a simp and babysitter of course. His character just seems like it cannot even stand on its own anymore.
Nancy, on the other hand, has developed so much she can even stand alone. She can break up with Jonathan, it would not even matter. But she does not need to get back with Steve. I love Jancy but if it’s for the better they break up, they should. Sometimes, it looks like it. And the way she cares for everyone?  You gotta see her character thoroughly. She's always been the first one to face danger. When she thinks about something, she'll do it at once, no questions asked, without hesitation. Just like what Jonathan said: she never does anything halfway. Her jumping in to go after Steve or being the first one to try and get Robin out of the vines are not necessarily acts of love but of pure instinct and bravery.
Everything is one second short? If Joyce had come a second earlier to help Hopper, that could've hurt Vecna EARLY and could’ve saved Max - that is if their theory is correct. Eddie could've been saved as well? The demobats died shortly after. The trio as well are moving so fucking slow. Mike’s speech way too long too.
I could’ve agreed if you told me Season 1 Mike was the heart of the group, but he is definitely not the heart now. His character to me is very dull and for some reason, felt like is very neglected already. Just like Steve, the character cannot stand on its own anymore. Mike being the boyfriend and Steve being the ex. As for the heart of the group? Dustin definitely is.
Eddie’s hands.
Eddie, wake up :( I don’t like this, Eddie, wake up :( hey? Hello? :( Eddie, my love. I am so sorry. You deserved to graduate. You deserved to snatch that diploma yourself. You deserved a funeral. I hate that I saw no one else mourned for you. I hate that no one fucking cared. You did not have to save the town that hated you but you did. You could've, SHOULD'VE ran. I am so sorry, Eddie. You deserved better. +
+ Dustin holding Eddie and his speech to his uncle broke me so much, I'm still crying about it. But at the same time, I just know his uncle does not even understand what "He fought and died to protect this town that hated him. He's a hero." meant because like what he knew is that an earthquake happened so what needed saving exactly.
Jonathan being the only person showing Will that he cares so much for him is what makes him a good character. He's not the best boyfriend right now but he's a damn great brother. His continuous decision to lie about their plans breaks me. He just knows he can't leave Will, El, or Joyce behind but he loves Nancy too. See the dilemma here?
Max. I can't even. I have no words. You were such an amazing addition to the group. You were the real soulmate of Eleven, you were the glimpse of normal and exciting for her and now, you’re “gone.” I love you so. +
+ BUT, your death could’ve been solidified and I would’ve accepted it. Like what I said before, deaths are inevitable - in real life or tv series. Good guys can not always win. And I hate the Duffers for copping out for Max. I don’t know what their plan is for her next season but I just hate how they left her in a coma. She could have died and yep, yeah, she did. There’s nothing that Lucas could’ve done when Jason was there, plus the destruction of her headphones.
I'm so confused why El was confused on why Lucas was at the hospital. You were there with them? Sidenote: the Hopclair hug is personal to me. My favorite underrated duo.
Basically, I’m mad, sad, and now confused. I have so many questions. Is Dr. Owens still cuffed or does the government have him? What happened to Antonov and Murray? Are they safe too? How about Yuri? Did he go to America too? What happened in the two days time jump? Did they leave Eddie’s body in the Upside Down? How did they even get out? So Suzie is still a side character? Jason’s friends’ did not report what happened in the Creel house before the earthquake, especially that Jason dies and had his body melt in half? I know that they’re hiding from the government still, but all of them are wanted at this point, are they not? I mean they freaking ran away from military. Max’s letters? They actually needed them, why is there no mention of this? Also her mom is not home? Argyle basically left his family too? YSBXUEBCI just so many questions.
I hate the fact that the Duffers are so scared to kill off people out of the main cast. Trust me, I will cry a river if it happens but it should, and it would, happen. These people care a lot about each other and would literally die for one another and I hate how somehow, it just does not happen. Why the immunity? There's no risks? They all lived happily by the end but all the newcomers were the ones to sacrifice themselves? It does not make sense to me because the new comers are the ones that are not that familiar with the group and they’re the ones to give it their all? Killing off characters is unpredictable and emotional, it causes chaos. The formula of bringing new people to the show and eventually killing them is not the way to go. Some of the main characters are even disposable at this point - not to say I hate them. I love them but it doesn't seem fair that who dies are the ones when they've barely known these people they're dying for. Most of the main in Volume 2 were bystanders and were literally just watching everything unfold. Writers are chickening out but the show is a story of found family as well and if one dies because of love, they will.
I didn’t like it very much. Somehow, it felt predictable and mellow. It was hyped for a month and it did not meet my expectations on what it COULD be - no need for me to say what things should’ve been. It’s just that it could be more.
I don’t think I have anything else to say? But if I do, I’ll get on here then.

stranger things 4 immediate thoughts... (just finished ep 7)
wow with the body horror
also straight up had to fast forward through the animal torture; why was that not in a warning
i have had that damn song stuck in my head now since i started watching on friday 😭
the slomo jopper reunion though
if anything happens to either eddie or antonov i will punch everyone in this room and then myself
spent the whole season lowkey suspecting that creepo basketball leader was some kind of upside down monster disguised somehow
we’re all in agreement that HE’S actually the most like a cult leader, right?
and who even is he? where are his parents?
still laughing at the idea of some random teenager hijacking the sheriff’s meeting to rave about satanic cults and the whole town collectively just going along with it
let’s blindly follow this unhinged child, his hair is pretty shiny so it’s not like we need a background check
the desecration of benny’s burgers is possibly the worst offense of the entire series
why am i here for this steve and nancy nonsense
whiplash from those tone shifts but like wait actually does that crick in my neck feel better ?
i get it was like a character choice / plot point that dustin is just a complete tool now apparently but why
lucas you’ve been my fave since the beginning and continue to be amazing, never stop
wouldn’t be stranger things without puzzling crayon drawings of the upside down huh
was i supposed to feel sorry for vanessa or whatever her name is
do we think steve will know nancy’s favorite song and frantically try to sing it to her and get the group to join in
will her favorite song be toto’s “africa”
wait nvm eddie’s totally gonna have to metal music battle with his beloved electric guitar to save her and i love it way more
good mrs. henderson has another cat, thank you

Hi, Aim! 😊 I'm not sure if you've seen the finale of She-Hulk yet, but I'd love to ask about your thoughts and feelings about it if you have, because, man, do I have mixed feelings about it and I'd love to hear what you have to say about it.
Ooh... wow. Marvel literally admitted that they have no idea how to write women's stories, didn't they. Like, "we SO don't know how to write women's stories that we're going to do a weird meta thing about not knowing how to write women's stories and hope that you think it's charming." Like, "we're going to get out of having to write an actual finale because we always flub those AND we're going to get out of writing a woman's story" in one fell swoop. Whoo. Wow. That was a choice.
Also the meta level of the MCU existing within a universe where the characters are real casts like, Hydra, in a REALLY weird space. And like, Steve. Like, are we supposed to go back and rewatch all of the MCU movies through a lens of them being reality shows that the characters know they're being filmed for but have no control over their actions within?? Is Tony dying in Endgame the equivalent of an in-universe snuff film?? Did a film crew sit there and watch Bucky get tortured and young Natasha and Yelena get human trafficked and do nothing?? THIS IS A WEIRD MOVE, MARVEL. IT'S A WEIRD MOVE THAT WAS NOT THOUGHT OUT.
(Also isn't the blood LITERALLY supersoldier serum, Jen? Like that's what Bruce was trying to make when he Hulked?? It's all supersoldier serum. Green Goblin, Hulk, Abomination, it's all supersoldier serum. It's the literal lifeblood of the Marvel Universe. That's why supersoldier serum stories keep showing up??)
I liked Jen/Matt at the cookout at the end. Marvel does like ending their shows with cookouts, apparently.
And I DO like that they didn't go a "the stealing the blood was the real villainy" route and did go the "the act of trespass into her life was the real villainy" thing instead because it's true, but the way they played it is just going to make the real Intelligencias/Reddits/Chans of the world even more pissed off about women and women's stories (and about the direction of Phase 4/5/6).
I liked Nikki and Pug being such good and genuine friends to Jen, because we don't get to see very many Marvel characters have friends. Pretty much just Scott, and his Wombats aren't going to be in Ant-Man 3 and I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT :(
Kevin Feige self-inserting as an omnipotent, all-powerful brain was... a lot. May I direct you to my most recent guest spot on @idontgettechnology's podcast "I Ship It," which was titled "We Have To Talk About Kevin"? Because I think it's time we talked about Kevin. The man thinks he's FRIDAY.
Also I hope we DO see Jen on the big screen because I love Tatiana Maslany and I have so little interest in a Planet Hulk storyline that doesn't involve Gladiators!Steve/Bucky that it's hard for me to put it into words. Like, Bruce is... fine. But I have no attachment to Bruce. He's the Avenger I always forget about. And no Hulkling for Billy??? What is the POINT?
UNLESS it's a hint that they're doing a BATTLEWORLD storyline, hence Jane being alive in Valhalla and we're going to get a BATTLEWORLD: Thors series, which might be fun because more Natalie Portman and also a noir crime story vibe, but also, I'm very tired.
Just mush Jen in with Scott, Cassie, Hope, Shang-Chi, Katy, and Eddie Brock and do a West Coast Avengers thing. Give them A Villain that they need to stop, and then have them stop That Villain. Matt can come, too. But the nested plotlines within plotlines that never end up coming to fruition are too much. There's too much stuff! Too many things!!!
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHEN STEVE IS COMING BACK FROM THE MOON AND I WANT WANDA TO BE ALIVE, I'M A SIMPLE WOMAN! I want simple things from my Marvel consumption! I want my blorbos and plotlines that make sense! And I want Steve and Bucky to kiss on the mouth!
Also, but Tatiana's legs tho

Stranger Things (spoilers!)
Imagine: (pt.1)
Jane wanting to stay at Hawkins in the cabin in the woods because it's the only place she actually feels like she belongs there
Dustin breaking down in tears every time someone mentions Eddie, frustrated that he can't tell anyone that he was a hero that gave the others more time to stop Henry
Robin loving her job at the video renting store because she's a fan of movies over books herself, along with the arts and more creative side of things
Steve keeping Robin's preferences to himself because it's only her business, and it's going to stay that way, but feels bad for her because not everyone will accept her
Lucas not wanting to be on the basketball team because of his experiences with the assholes in it, especially with Jason and his goons
Jim talking about the prison to Jane and only to Jane because she would be the only one who would understand isolation from the world and torture more than anyone else at Hawkins
Joyce hearing about Angela from Jane finally opening up to her about it, and screwed the idea of living in California, and wanted to stay in Hawkins (like everyone else)
Argyle actually not doing drugs and realising how Jane's powers are in fact real, and that he wasn't hallucinating at all, asking her all sorts of questions like "how does your brain feel?" "how did you do that?", "what can you do?", etc.
Mike wanting to end the relationship with Jane because he knows that she doesn't need anybody to tell her what to do, or his worries about her
Will confessing to Jane that he has feelings for Mike, and her being completely being okay with it but doesn't know how to break up with Mike (never seen it before)
Karen (Mrs. Wheeler) and Ted meeting Jane for the first time, and Karen pulling out a picture she got from Brenner a couple of years ago, and is sceptical at first about the girl in front of them, but opened up to her, realising that she can be dangerous, but is a sweet angel to anyone who doesn't want to hurt or kill her :)

Season Four, Chapter Seven: The Massacre At Hawkins Lab
Nancy couldn't think of a better entrance line than "Hey there."
I bet this scene was hard to act, there was so little that was actually there to interact with considering all the CGI.
"Great, more running." Robin is a whole mood as always.
Yeah, like I said last episode, the ending here is actually pretty good in terms of cliffhangers. I mean yeah Nancy's "in trouble" but it doesn't feel like that's meant to be as dangerous as it first appears since it's not where we actually end (and it's not, she's fine).
Kentucky Fried Secret Agent Man, mmm.
If only Brenner had had Owens to curtail him from the beginning, all of this might not have happened.
First time anyone's said Brenner's first name out loud? I know it's on paperwork in the earlier seasons but I don't think anyone said it.
Max's mom isn't there, they really shouldn't be questioning her at all.
Suggestive shirtless Steve scene is suggestive.
Lil spider monkey Munson.
His handerchief survived the swim, that's a surprise.
Steve's feet are going to be ripped to shit by the time they get home.
Murray's Yuri impression is spot on.
Brenner's approach is certainly one way to deal with bullies.
Erica's blackmail material must be really bad. A thousand out of ten?!
Dustin's deductions are almost entirely on the money, except his Vecna/Mind Flayer theory.
I feel like the Upside Down being frozen in time is going to be important in the last season for some reason.
The way Eddie asks if SOS is good breaks my heart.
Joyce's unimpressed looks in the background are gold.
The little light box communication thing is genius, such a good scene.
Get entirely fucked, Callahan.
Bye bye useless parents, let the kids take over. There's going to be some explaining to do after, but it'll be worth it.
Another awesome upside down camera transition.
Steve pedalling with no shoes on must hurt like a bitch, I've done that before. Not recommended.
There's the vent El uses to escape in Season 1. Although that's still 4 years away at this point in the memory.
I wonder if this Zoterior (?) thing will come back and be part of how they weaken Vecna in Season 5.
The idea that Joyce travelled all that way just to see Hop die is fucking awful.
Should have thrown the Warden in with the Demogorgon.
Pow, right in the kisser!
Happy reunion :')
That gate pops like a zit.
Everyone's hair is still immaculate, despite the dip in the lake.
P-p-p-p-plot twist #1! Friendly Orderly is One!
We all know what those stains are, Eddie.
If Dustin didn't have Suzie, I swear he and Erica would get together in the future.
That fucking swimming pool, I swear. Barb's not looking well.
The alarm at Hawkins Lab and at the Nina Project is the same.
No wonder El surpressed this, it's horrific. Henry killed literally everyone.
P-p-p-p-plot twist #2! Friendly Orderly is Henry Creel!
P-p-p-p-plot twist #3! Henry Creel is Vecna!
Thick and fast plot twists, this episode.
Playing with black widows, even if you have psychic powers, seems inadvisable.
He may be nuts, but Henry does make some valid points.
Dude tortures bunnies, though. Totally irredeemable.
Eyeballs rolling around under closed eyelids is creepier to me than the whole way Vecna kills people.
Get atomized, bitch.
The Vecna reveal is a great payoff given everything we've been through up to this point, it all fits quite neatly.
And yeah, I wanted to know what happened next, but it didn't make me want to scream for an entire month, so I appreciated that a lot.

PROMPT SIX: Formal - Detroit: Become Human Medal of Honor Hank is awarded the Medal of Honor, and Connor couldn’t be prouder. The night goes as smoothly as can be expected. That is, until the lights go out. When Connor wakes, a few questions instantly come to mind: How could he have been kidnapped from a hall full of officers?

But maybe he’s imagining things - after all, Connor says that he’s fine, and Wendy seems nice enough...
