What if Mike is so mad at Steve because he was his bisexual awakening? He saw him dating Nancy, walking around in those too-tight shorts and thought, ‘oh damn, that’s one thing I didn’t need in common with my sister’. Anytime he sees him around the house, he just thinks he’s the biggest asshole because prior to him being around, Mike only liked girls!
Then they broke up so Mike didn’t have to see him around too much and he could focus on El instead of pining after Steve. But nope, Dustin becomes best friends with the guy and he’s suddenly around all the time.
Finally, Mike gets a crush on his new DM and thinks he can get over his hopeless crush on Steve. He goes on a really shitty vacation and when he comes back, Eddie and Steve are both in the hospital and they’re mooning over one another, cuddling in the same hospital bed.
And poor Mike is just thinking he can’t escape this guy. First he dates his sister, adopts him and his friends, and now he’s dating the guy Mike idolizes? What the fuck?
(His hate doesn’t lessen when he finds out that Steve told Will not to date a Wheeler either.)
im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!
an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.
“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids
Nancy Wheeler has the intensely queer energy of a female character whose male showrunners really do believe her to be a heterosexual woman but, if asked to explain what that actually means for her, they would spend the next five minutes awkwardly and unintentionally describing asexuality because they can’t actually conceptualize female desire.
Steve can do the cherry stem trick, because of course he can. Of course he can
He spent a
stupid amount of time when he was younger trying to learn how to do it; ate a ridiculous number of cherries and just sort of started sticking them stem and all into his mouth, eating the cherry, and then working on the stem. He has 100% forgotten
it’s not just a thing people do, so now that’s just kind of how he eats them - puts the whole thing in his mouth, eats the cherry, and ties a knot in the stem the same way someone might fiddle with a twist tie
The first
time Eddie sees him do this, he sees Steve stick the fruit in his mouth without
removing the stem and just start chewing and it’s like
Eddie: Did you just eat
the…
Steve, absently pulling a knotted cherry stem out of his mouth: Sorry, what?
Eddie:
Eddie: How are you even a real person
He spends the
next three to five business days trying to get the thought out of his head. He’s absolutely disgusted with himself; it’s such a stereotypical flirting trick, it’s such a move, but for some reason it’s fucking working on him
(Robin has lowkey been waiting for Eddie to find out about this. She saw Steve do it multiple times with the maraschino cherries when they worked at
Scoops and thought he was flirting with her at first before she realized he
just… Does That. Like a weirdo.)
What if Steve can’t leave Hawkins because he’s dead? He doesn’t know it, and neither does anyone else. He died when his father pushed him down the stairs and then buried his body underneath the house. They left town, but Steve thinks they abandoned him. Steve thinks he sees the ghost of Barbara because he feels guilty, but the truth is that he is dead. He can still interact with the living because he doesn’t want to let go. Eddie can sense the presence of ghosts, and he felt it around Steve. He didn’t know how to tell him. When Eddie died, Steve could see him, too. He asked him why that was. Eddie would kneel in front of him and take his hand.
“Oh, Steve, do you really not know?”
The hardest after that was not accepting the fact that he was dead. It was letting go of the living.
I see a lot of post on here about Steve dabbling into Eddie’s hobbies and picking up his taste in music. Which is all great. Excellent. Super awesome I love it. But where is the Eddie getting into Steve’s interests? I want Eddie and Steve at a Super Bowl party and Eddie is so into it and Steve is so smitten with him. It starts out as Steve convincing him to watch sports because “eddie you clearly like to ogle jocks” and eventually he’s all about it.
And I want Steve expanding Eddie’s taste in music because “if you only enjoy one genre of something eddie, then you have bad taste in that something.” And Eddie is obviously throughly offended that anyone could ever dare to even think to allude to him having bad taste in music that he makes it his mission to learn all Steve’s faves and that’s how they end up at a Willie Nelson concert and eddie is decked out in black fringe and black studded cowboy hat, wearing a bolo tie and he’s loudly and proudly singing along to every song and Steve is just absolutely swooning.
this tiktok screenshot ruined my life i need to see the serbian pigeon movie so so badly but it doesn’t exist it’s so foul to make this bad of a point with something so cool and then take it away from me.
Tiktok marvel fans really will be out here like “movie fan SHOCKED because i’d rather watch superhero movie #54 in blue and not a sensual 1987 french horror film about a man discovering his wife may not exist set in what is gradually revealed to be a space station” as if you’re supposed to agree that superhero movie #54 is the clear winner in this comparison
Love the idea of a story about a complex issue that’s told from the perspective of something that cannot comprehend or care about the issue. The way the story would be sliced up and moments that a human would consider pointless would be focused on because the pigeon happened to be there would be hype as fuck
Ok FINE I made the movie poster of it
Mališa, otherwise known as Little One, is a pet pigeon owned by a conservative butler of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. She is loved, and she is pampered— until her owner is murdered in cold blood, and she is left to fend for herself in Sarajevo.
In the wilds of the city, she feeds from the poor, working nationalist radicals, and the vieux riches alike.
To Mališa, there are no ethical concerns. No politics. No burgeoning nationalism.
There are only hands that feed her, and hands that do not.
This is compelling. Consider me fucking compelled.
