Wrt my tags on the nailbat post...

There's something there about Jonathan being the one to put the nails in the bat. Jonathan, who had to plan his baby brother's funeral; who was out when said baby brother was supposed to get because he was working, trying to help out; who had already given up on his own childhood for the sake of his brother having one. He had already shaken off the innocence of a baseball game, putting nails in the coffin of that innocence himself by hammering nails into a bat he'd never use again just confirmed it.

But Jonathan isn't the one to keep the bat. Steve comes banging on the door, apologizing, and gets pulled into it. He picks up the bat Jonathan dropped. Swings it at a monster.

A bat filled with nails, passed from an older brother to an only child. A choice Jonathan made consciously, for his brother and his mother, knowing the possible repercussions, that no one would blame him for not making. A choice that Steve did on instinct because there wasn't any other choice if he wanted to be a good person and not let anyone die.

And when they think it's all over, he holds onto it for a whole year.

When a kid asks if he still has it, he does. He brings it with them and holds it in front of himself as he draws out more monsters, swings it to keep them away from the kids. He's the one with the weapon, not them, and he takes his role as protector seriously. He's got the bat, he's the babysitter, he's the one that'll get hurt first if anything happens, so the kids will be safe. He puts himself between the kids and Billy, the kids and the tunnels by going first, Dustin and the demodogs as they leave the tunnels. He's got the bat.

Jonathan made the mangled representation of lost innocence, but it's connected to Steve as his iconic weapon despite not showing up for two whole seasons. And I think that says something about them as characters.

Jonathan as someone who is connected to the upsidedown through love and obligation to his family. He has made his peace with it. He will be there because his mother is. His brother is. There's no choice for him, because he loves his family.

He made the bat.

Steve is connected because there's no other option, even if there is. Because he's trying to be better (is better)and he picked up the bat and he's not putting it down, even when he doesn't have to. He didn't have to help Dustin find dart, or decode the Russian transmission, or help Eddie. He's there because he has to be, not of love (though there is that) or duty, but because the alternative is letting other people get hurt.

He picked the bat up.

i feel like we as a fandom don’t talk enough abt how badass steve is. like everyone mentions the fights he loses but never the ones he wins, which are wayyy more important in my opinion

like in s1 he literally saves jancy from a fucking demogorgon and manages to help them kill it. jancy would no doubt be dead if steve hadn’t gone back for them

also, he protects three middle schoolers ON HIS OWN from several deadly alien creatures IN THE DARK and with only a fucking BASEBALL BAT

like how is that not badass? how does that not absolutely make up for the two singular fights he lost to human teenagers???

and i stand by this 100%, steve was definitely winning the fight with billy until the guy smashed a fucking plate over his head which like ofc he lost after that! that was not a fair fight!!

ALSO people make fun of him for being beaten up by trained russian soldiers, that shit does not make sense !! what the hell !!!

leave steve harrington alone DAMN

I'm rewatching S1 and it has come to my attention that Steve's infamous bat is technically not his. Jonathan was the first to use it. He and Nancy made it. Nancy supplied the bat. Jonathan the nails. The real love triangle isn't Steve/Nancy/Jonathan. It's Steve/the Bat/Jonathan.

Steve and Jonathan share custody of it. Steve gets primary custody since he's "always the goddamn babysitter". Jonathan gets custody whenever he feels the need to beat the ever loving shit out of Mike for hurting his little bro. After Steve found out what a little shit Mike has been to Will, he doesnt fight Jonathan on it. Jonathan just shows up gives him the look and Steve hands over the bat and says "bring her back safe and clean". (Yes the bat is a her. It's the 80s and guys always call inanimate objects they love "she/her".)

Her name is Bat Benatar, after Pat Benatar and her famous song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". Its the only song both men enjoy. Steve insists Bat likes to be called "Battie".

Nancy and Robin think the two of them have finally lost it. Even tho Nancy does insist that she gets custody of Bat on occasion cuz she helped create her. Nancy only uses Bat to intimidate people who piss her off tho. You kno Nancy would be like "Steve, Jonathan, I need to borrow our child for a minute. Someone is picking on Max."

They all kno when Nancy asks for custody of Bat, all hell's about to break lose. Cuz Nancy never asks for Bat. Shes always too busy w/ taking care of her other children: Smith, Wesson, Colt, and her sawed off shotgun, Winnie. Theres also her adopted son, Mak whom she rescued after the Battle of Starcourt Mall. If you dont think Nancy doesnt name her guns, then ur wrong.

Robin thinks they're all losing it until Steve points out that she has named her trumpet, Jett.

Hopper has also named his gun. Her name is Maggie.

Something about how Jonathan "took" Steve's girlfriend (and contributed to the fall of his role as King Steve)

But gave him the nail bat (and contributed to the adoption of his new role as badass babysitter)

This isn't like well explained or anything and I left out a lot of context and nuance but yeah, that just kinda stood out to me as I'm rewatching seasons 1 & 2

need help from someone who's watched stranger things more clisely or recently than me

is steve the only person, pre season four, to have killed an upside down monster with, like, a short range weapon? i'm not talking guns or cars or telekinesis, i'm talking the nail bat, up close and personal. i know he does something similar by hitting/biting that demobat but i'm fuzzy on this question in seasons 1-3

Eddie gets so excited when he pops open the trunk of Steve's Beemer and finds a guitar case. He has to know what it looks like, whether it's well-loved and worn or maybe the most expensive guitar Eddie's ever seen

So he opens the case and stares down and thinks "Excuse the fuck outta me" when what he sees is a baseball bat covered in nails

And Steve just appears over his shoulder and vaguely says, "in case of emergencies," with a bored shrug

Eddie isn't sure if he's more unnerved or turned on as he watches his boyfriend load a bag into the trunk as though Eddie isn't gaping down at a deadly weapon

Eddie wonders as they drive out of town for the weekend if he can convince Steve to show off his bat-swinging skills while they are alone and camping far away from prying eyes

i have been unmedicated for the entirety of spring break and thus have had little interest in writing this down, but i have been thinking about this for the entire week (as well as a dpdc clone danny au that resulted in it becoming its entirely separate batman au that includes a teenage vigilante bruce wayne, an ocarina, and me entirely incapable of making a batman au without making bruce dirt poor but we're not talking about that) and so i've finally went 'fuck it' and forcibly grabbed my laptop. I will get this done in one sitting even if it kills me.

BUT. This is about neither clone^2 danny nor about who i am calling Ocarina Batman. This is about my Danyal Al Ghul Au and more SPECIFICALLY it's me thinking about his relationship with Sam and Tucker specifically.

Tucker and Sam? Adore this asshole (affectionate) with every fiber of their being. And it is very much a reciprocated feeling, but Danny's thoughts will not be delved into much other than he would kill for them.

Tucker? The only person currently capable of getting a deep, loud, belly laugh out of Danny. Sam can get him to smile and to laugh, but it's the kind that's a chuckle-under-the-breath. The quiet, looks-down-while-huffing laughter. Snorts once with laughter and then grins stupidly.

But Tucker? Tucker can crack a slew of stupid jokes and Danny will be incapacitated for the next five minutes because he's laughing so hard that he can't breath. He lands one well-timed pun or quip and Danny will be close to tears. His laughter is their favorite sound in the whole world.

Sam is lowkey jealous of this ability, and she's gotten a belly laugh out of Danny a few times. But alas, it is Tucker who wields this power and has gotten it the most times out of the two of them.

-

They're also both physically affectionate with Danny as much as possible. It started roughly around when they were 12-ish, a year since they befriended Danny, and they noticed that he sought after touch but never seemed to initiate (and was in some ways repulsed by it). They started slowly being more touchy with him. Hooking a finger around his to lead him somewhere, tapping his wrist, looping arms. Little touches, grabs, etc, to get him used to it, and once he started doing it back they started increasing it.

It's gotten to a point where he will now just. Lay on them. Like a lizard sunbathing on a rock. Leaning on their backs when they're sitting in class before the bell rings, his chin on their heads. He'll talk about anything with his arms looped around their shoulders.

If they're sitting on a couch at either of their houses, he'll lay his legs on theirs. Him and Tucker will press their feet against the other's and try and push against them (newsflash: Danny always wins, Tucker claims its the ghost strength but Danny's been winning since before his accident)

-

Naturally, both Sam and Tucker know where Danny keeps his weapons on his person, and are allowed to grab them off of him if they need it. His only requirement is that they don't lose his weapons if they take it and forget to return it immediately.

They both understand how big of a thing this is from Danny, and so they do their best to treat his weapons with a lot of respect and care because they know its his way of saying he trusts them.

-

Sam and Tucker are so fond of Danny it's insane. Like fr. That's their goddamn best friend, and they are so protective of him. Emotionally, physically, you name it. They will tear the head off a grown man if they need to, Danny's had scars since he arrived in Amity Park and Sam and Tucker both are going to find the person who put them there and make them pay for it.

One time, Tucker overheard a bunch of upperclass girls speaking nastily about Danny and about the rumors surrounding him, calling him names like 'freak', 'monster', etc. Danny was with him and heard it, and seemingly appeared unbothered by it, even telling Tucker that he was used to such rumors.

Tucker was so furious that hacked into the school system later that night and tanked those girls grades. They were kicked out of their clubs and had to go to mandatory tutoring for the rest of the year. He made sure to leave some way of letting them know it was him who did it.

And Sam doesn't like using her money for things, doesn't like abusing that wealth. So instead, whenever her parents talk bad about Danny, she causes a media incident that has her parents scrambling to deal with. She does something wild, outrageous by her parents' standards.

She heard some boys on the basketball team making fun of Danny once, similar to those girls had. She kicks up a fuss about something eco-unfriendly at school and forcibly holds a protest on the same day of the big home basketball game, forcing them to cancel the event and reschedule to a visiting school.

She anonymously donates money so that there's new uniforms for the team but oops! Looks like she "forgot" to donate enough money for them to get uniforms for all the team members, and strangely enough those boys in particular didn't get them! Looks like they'll have to wait until more money gets donated for the basketball team to get their new, nice uniforms. The old ones look so ratty in comparison, right?

And since the football team gets most of the sport money, that might just take awhile. And if (and when) they kick up a fuss? oops! Off the basketball team you go, :) such unsportsman-like behavior is unfit for the team.

(The only good thing about how corrupt the school system is is that she can use it to her advantage too.)

The both of them know that Danny suspects them for the sudden misfortune falling on these people, but he doesn't call them out on it. He's kinder than he used to be, but not kind enough to vouch for people who speak badly of him. Sometimes, he might just congratulate them on not getting caught.

Because Danny is their wonderful, hurt friend with a "slightly" Blue and Orange Moral code, and enough scars that people have been calling him a criminal (and worse) since he arrived in Amity Park when he was ten. And they'll be damned if he gets hurt anymore.

Soulmate Marks Steddie AU but instead of like a guitar or dice or something for Eddie they get a nail bat and a nail shield.

Steve had grown up very confused with his soul mark. The crudely made shield with nails wasn't like anything he'd ever seen, normally soulmarks were something that represented his soulmate and helped him find her. People had flowers and sports equipment and things like their name. Tommy had a Christmas Tree for Carol and she had Tommy's favourite car. So what his soulmate was a Viking??? Maybe she was super into history, he signed up for AP history in hopes of finding her, but no luck. His parents hated that he didn't want to cover it up, it's not very feminine, what will people think Steve, but he didn't care He loved his soulmark and his soulmate, whoever she was. He knew Nancy wasn't his soulmate even though she matched the warrior personality he'd created in his head of his soulmate and he wasn't surprised her camera matched Jonathan's notepad and pen.

He kind of forgot about his mark for awhile. Too busy with Upside Down stuff and the kids and Robin and work and his parents always being away. He had a bisexual crisis in the Family Video bathroom with Robin when she said it was ok to like both, eerily reflecting Starcourt.

When it all came back again he swore that he felt something for a brief moment when Eddie pushed him against the boathouse but then there was the lake and Eddie talking about how soulmarks aren't everything if he truly loved Nancy and the chaos of getting out of the Upside Down.

Maybe if Eddie and Dustin weren't always so loud, their laughter cutting through the gloom of the situation, Steve wouldn't have noticed what they were doing. But there they were, battling each other with shields that Steve was all too familiar with. He almost dropped the makeshift molotov.

There was no time to confront this though, they had a job to do, a Hawkins to save. Eddie had stopped him for just a moment and he almost said it then. Oh how he wished he'd said something then, when he'd come back to Dustin's screams, a rush of bloody bandages, a slurring dying Eddie in his arms and a speeding van to the hospital, police be damned.

Steve didn't move from his bedside for a whole week. By then the party had seen the soulmark on Steve's hip, they knew why he was there. Steve had never seen a more beautiful sight than Eddie finally opening his eyes.

"Those bats bit off half my bat tattoo those ironic bastards" was one of the first things Eddie said. Steve couldn't help but laugh, Eddie was still being Eddie despite everything.

"shit they better not have-" to Steve's alarm, Eddie was pulling on the edge of one of his bandages, "oh thank fuck it's still there," and there it was, Eddie's soulmark, Steve's nail bat.

Guess Steve's soulmate was a warrior after all.

Okay wait, so we've talked about how we want to see the nailbat back in S5, and I do want that - but do you know what I really want?

I want to see Steve using the bat and then getting knocked down. I want to see him drop it, ending up pinned and weaponless and vulnerable, if only for a moment

And I want to see Dustin, nearby because they couldn't keep him away from the fight if they tried, running in. I want to see him pick up the bat and I want to see him give it that same twirl that Steve does (the one that maybe he'd asked Steve to teach him, the one that maybe he's been practicing)

And then I want to see him beat the shit out of something with it, protecting Steve with the same weapon, the same way that Steve first protected him

I want to see him have the chance to save someone he loves

Tada I finished the sketch of Eddie :) First piece of stranger things fanart yippie

I’m also just imagining him making these pants and customizing them with patches and embroidery

Also played around with my style, messed around with colors and whatnot

(I gave up on his shoes, also how does one draw clothing ??)

to whoever sent in the ask about whether or not Steve still had the nail bat – tumblr ate it :(((( but i haven’t stopped thinking about it since you sent it last week so i’m answering it regardless

My gut instinct is to say no, Steve does not have the nail bat anymore.

In my verse there is a not-at-all-flesh-out notion that sometime after the (modified, obv) end of season 4, there is one last battle that ends up ending all the upside down stuff for good. Something tells me that the nail bat reappears in that battle and sees an untimely (or timely, depending on your perspective) end.

Obviously, this means that the girls never see the nail bat in the flesh, but it also means that Eddie, who (in my ‘verse) is comatose for that entire last battle, never sees either.

Until Jonathan visits from California and brings a box full of old photos with him and, lo and behold, presents a photo taken in 1986 of Steve wielding the bat.

“Woah,” Robbie says, eyes wide, “That’s fuckin’ sick, Pop. Can you make me one?”

“Don’t look at me,” Steve immediately told her, “I didn’t make that.”

“Who did?”

“Wasn’t it you, Jon?” He looked at Jonathan.

“No…I think it was Nancy,” Jon replied blankly.

Steve shrugged, because coming up on forty years later it didn’t really matter anymore, and then he looked at Eddie.

Who was stock-still and staring at the photo.

“You alright, Ed?” he asked.

“Fantastic,” Eddie replied, and then he finally tore his eyes away from the picture to look at Jonathan, “Can I keep this one? Do you have the negatives or whatever?”

“Whatever you want, man.”

A couple minutes later, when everyone’s attention had moved onto other photos, Eddie sidled up behind Steve, wrapped one arm around his waist and held up the nail bat photo with the other.

Steve is nineteen in the picture and sitting on the steps of Hop’s old cabin, one of its boarded-up windows half-in-focus in the background. They're about a week away from the battle that ended the Upside Down for good, he's pretty sure, though his memory of all that is a little fuzzy by now. He remembers that he’d taken to keeping the bat with him during that time, and he’s balancing the nail-studded end in the dirt right between his feet, one hand on the handle and the other covering the knob so his chin can balance on it as he looks up at someone behind the camera.

It’s not the worst photo of him, Steve can admit (though it would have been nicer if it weren’t taken during the end of the world).

“We will be having a conversation about this later,” Eddie murmured into Steve’s ear, “A long one.”

Pleaseeee I need the live stream audience’s (and their fbi agent) reaction to Steve pulling the nail bat out to defend Ozzy’s honour. The series is so amazing thank you for giving it to us!

Considering the fact that Eddie got Steve to sit down on the bed, kissed his forehead, and then left Steve, Ozzy, and the live-stream to go ‘talk’ to Dan, the unanimous reaction among the chat was, what the actual fuck.

Steve, mindless to the live-stream, flops back on the bed with a loud sigh and doesn’t even complain when Ozzy, still wet from what little time he had in his pool, jumps up on the bed next to him. Steve ruffles Ozzy’s wet fur and tells him, “You deserve nice things, buddy. If an asshole breaks your things, you have every right to break their face. That’s justice, right?”

Ozzy puts his paw on Steve’s chest and Steve nods, “You get me.”

Meanwhile, the chat is blowing up with people being like ‘adorable’ and ‘cute’ and ‘I wish he’d pet me like that’ while other people who aren’t incurably horny are just like, ‘are we going to talk about the bat? Why the fuck does that thing exist? Why does it look used? Why is it being wielded by a middle school teacher with fucking ease???’

“He’s a jock,” Eddie answers. “Of course, he has a bat. All jocks have bats.”

‘NOT WITH NAILS IN IT’ The chat explodes.

“Home security?” Eddie tries with a shrug. “I’ve been trying to get him to GET RID OF IT for decades now.”

Steve doesn’t even lift his head when he says, “I got rid of my axe.”

“You had your axe taken away from you,” Eddie replies because that was true. After the gates were officially closed, the government confiscated everything that so much as breathed in the direction of the Upside Down. Both Steve’s axe and Eddie’s sweetheart were taken.

The only reason the nail bat survived was because the government didn’t know it existed.

A couple days later when half his live-stream chats are still filled with people being like ‘why was he so comfortable holding it?’ and ‘this is a prop from a music video, right?’ and ‘please answer or I’m going to actually die,’ Eddie does provide an answer. He says, “Try googling Hawkins, Indiana. I think that’ll answer all of your questions.”

It does not.

It actually asks a lot more questions.

The introduction of the somewhat-alluded-to-before nail bat to the Steddie Conspiracy Forums causes absolute chaos. No one can agree on anything. It validates so many theories and creates dozens more especially when Steve lets it slip in the background of another live-stream that Jonathan actually made the bat and Steve just never gave it back.

Meanwhile, the only benefit to Steve’s particular brand of shitty parents is that he learned how to girlboss gaslight gatekeep from absolute pros. Anytime one of his students asks him about the nail bat, Steve acts like he has no idea what they’re talking about. He has literally never heard of such a thing, “Like the animal? Their fingernails?”

As for their agent.

Their reaction was heard across all the office cubicles in the basement of the building. Just a loud, disbelieving, “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?”

#Ozzy: *putting his paw on Steve’s chest to say stop acting this way*#Steve: *interpreting it to mean what he wants it to mean*#I like to think that nail bat is in the Hawkins File but is unconfirmed because the FBI could never find it #It's mentioned briefly during Dustin and Lucas' debriefing in 1984 but the FBI didn't give enough of a shit about Steve to #check under his bed for the bat so Steve just kept it. The same thing happened with Nancy's gun from season 2 #But his axe was taken while they were being decontaminated after going into the Upside Down. Steve's still bitter about it #eddie munson tiktok saga #eddie munson #steve harrington
