‘will and robin are already gay they can't all be gay’ I, personally, believe that them being gay means that they all have to be gay, legally. all the gays I know flock together unintentionally that's just how it works if one is gay they all are I dont make the rules. will being gay and robin coming out would have a domino effect if it were real life you just dont know ur queer science so shut up and let the experts talk, thank you

JOSEPH WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY, “how did they know?” YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THAT AND NOTHING ELSE YOU FOOL.

Eddie and Steve be like

in my mind, we’re somewhere in my car…

I love Steve asking questions not understanding anything and always confused while his future metalhead boyfriend is like "Yeah like we can go there and get supplies and oh i can y'know.. stole us some car, cause my dad was like-"

obviously the push for stancy this season was obnoxious and excruciating to watch but i have some thoughts so stick with me.

nancy never wanted a nuclear family, she actually resented that idea for some time. so, why would steve ever think he’d be her future ? like even if they got back together, she wouldn’t fit into that fantasy he has in his head. but that’s just it, it’s all a fantasy to them. it’s a comfort thing for both of them. nancy likes steve around because he’s familiar and things with steve were straightforward, not complicated. she’s having issues with jonathan because of long distance and also the pressure of making it through college. same goes with steve. he’s not having any luck in love like he’s used to and what he does get is unfulfilling. he’s very unsatisfied with his love life but here comes nancy and it’s all too convenient that they’re spending so much time together again in the same situation that brought nancy and jonathan together. the thing with steve though is that i think he truly does want a family, a huge one. he’s been alone his whole life, felt abandoned and neglected by his own parents in that big house. now he’s taken in 6 kids that feel like his own with how much he watches over them and does for them. he can’t see his life being any other way than that picture. however, we add eddie into steve’s equation. eddie is different in every way from nancy. but the thing about eddie is that he fits into steve’s life. eddie is not only dedicated to a portion of steve’s own kids but he spends his time picking up “lost sheep” and taking them under his wig, protecting them and giving them a place to feel like they belong. i think part of steve realizes this and that allows him to soften up to eddie, plus he sees how much dustin cares for him and how they are with each other and his jealousy turns into an understanding. speaking of that jealousy, let’s talk about that. both eddie and steve are jealous of each other. it seems like most of it stems from dustin and how he talks about both of these figures in his life. steve thinks he’s getting replaced well eddie feels like he can never live up to who steve is to dustin. neither realize that they both are kept on the same pedestal, neither of them realize that’s possible. until they have that “heart-to-heart” bro pal moment in the upside down. whenever steve is in proximity to eddie, eddie always has his attention. steve is watching him like a damn hawk, every single flicker of movement and his eyes are on him right away. and eddie, eddie with all the confidence in the world unashamedly flirts with steve every chance he gets. he’s always in his space, always seeking a reaction and never shying away from letting it be known he feels some type of way for steve. that freaks steve out. he’s not used to that. he’s used to girls flirting with him shamelessly. he’s used to girls being interested in him. he’s used to a girl filling that role in his family because that’s all he’s know. he’s seen it in his parents, in nancy’s parents, in his old friend’s parents, in loads of families in town and all around because this was the 80s in Indiana. he can’t just start having a whole sexuality crisis in the middle of the end of hawkins (AGAIN) where his kids’ lives are on the line. he can’t start fantasizing about a life that’s different and new and unknown to him. he can’t start thinking about eddie no matter how much it makes sense to him, no matter how bad he wants to, no matter how hard eddie makes it to ignore that part of his brain itching to do something because eddie. so he does the very homosexual act of gay panicking. he reverts back to that comfort, back to that familiarity of nancy, of a hetero nuclear family. it’s interesting to me that his life isn’t a white picket fence with a three-story house and endless backyard. no, it’s him, his partner, and “six little nuggets” on the road, seeking adventure, traveling to california and beyond in a camper.

hm. i wonder who would be totally okay with living the rest of their life in a camper. i wonder whose idea it was to steal said rv. i wonder who was thrilled at the idea of steve taking charge and driving said rv. i wonder who was headbanging in the back of said rv when they were stealing it and driving away like a bat out of hell. I WONDER WHO. you know who wouldn’t be okay with all of that, though ? nancy. because nancy has her dreams, her ambition cannot be tamed. that’s her whole thing. that’s why jonathan doesn’t tell her he’s not going to school with her because of how important her dreams are to her. her life and what she wants to do could obviously chance but nancy is headstrong and tenacious and when she knows what she wants, she knows how to get it. it doesn’t seem like her dream of being a journalist and going to school for that is faltering, especially NOT for a fantasy that isn’t her own. all i’m saying is that it’s very clear that steve is bi and he was panicking and eddie was the perfect option to fit into his lil family and dustin had his two beautiful parents right in front of them. the duffers could’ve given us SO. MUCH. BETTER.

Has anyone seen steddy blurb about Steve twirling some things when Eddie was around him? Boy had a huge crush and Robin said something about Steve doing that around pretty girls and Eddie asked "Do you think I'm a pretty girl?".

Something like that

My phone went crazy and I lost this one in tumblr depths 🤧😫😖

I need to read it to the end or I couldn't live on with my life 😭

Eddie Munson fanart

I could’ve spent more time tidying him but, but my darling is ✨finished✨

when Eddie comes back from the dead he and Steve have matching scars and they go around acting like this is some adorable couples thing like matching tattoos. everyone else is horrified. 

Y'all we're so gay

Steve and Eddie at some point

It’s basically cannon Steve has a thing for danger and “dangerous” people. I mean, first Nancy who is… Y’know Nancy. then his reaction when Eddie pinned him with the broken bottle? Steve is 100% a golden retriever who adores like, pit bulls (also i know pit bulls aren’t wild beasts, but they can absolutely be a force to be reckoned with when they want to)
