Seen a few people saying Steve’s bisexual awakening was Jonathan Byers punching him repeatedly in the face in a dirty alley.
I mean that moment was for sure a signal to change his ways, and all power to those people who HC this, but *my* Steve’s bisexual awakening was Jonathan grabbing & hauling him bodily out of the way of Upside-Down danger, using his injured bleeding hand, then being sheltered protectively behind both Jonathan and Nance, all safe and sequestered away in one of the Byer’s bedrooms.
Haha Joyce in the future, making sure to subtly feed info into the grapevine of their monster hunting conversational circles, subtly letting Steve know what nights she and Hop will be at what all-you-can-eat places, so not to have a repeat interruption of each other’s respective kinky date nights
And like whichever teenager is meant to give Steve the message from Joyce is always just like
"I don't know why I'm supposed to tell you this, but I'm just the messenger, Joyce says she and Hopper-"
"Jesus- Ok! Fine! Yes, thank you, message received. Haha. Don't worry about it. I need to... not be here, right now. Later friend!"
And finds an excuse to leave red-faced and hot
Btw me - ArgyleTShirtSupply!Anon
Didn’t exactly proof read - obviously I’m referring to band merch and metal tees but I completely do not remember if my wording made that clear - anyway - to clarify
Also consider - When Argyles visiting, he Jonathan and Eddie smoking up - argyle and Eddie glutting themselves and making improv and experimental pizzas in the Byers kitchen (the others are out, hopper on a date, dw about it)
Jonathan eats like a bird, Argyle has a big appetite but Eddie is beyond
Steve doesn’t join - it’s not his scene, Jonathan and Argyle are more Eddie’s than his friends, so he’ll just hang with Robin after work til the guys drop Eddie off
Cue Argyle driving Eddie back to Steve’s (don’t drive under the influence but like…the80s) Jonathan in tow, and argyle handing Eddie over to his waiting boyfriend, almost too familiar and more knowing than you want your ex-girlfriends-boyfriends-best friend to be saying stuff like “your lover is returned to you, blazed and sated my dude, have fun”
Argyles Argyle about it, Eddie thinks it’s hilarious, Steve is white-man grimace smiling politely and Jonathon wants to die
Those three get so fucking high and play the most chaotic and adolescent D&D of their lives. And they eat themselves (with the exception of Jonathan) absolutely stupid. And maybe high Eddie let's slip that Steve's been particularly tight of ass lately (newsflash it's because argyle's in town). So it's Argyle and Jonathan's idea to turn Eddie into a peace offering of their own creation and let that boy go hog wild. Stuffed beyond belief. There's basically no softness to his belly, and he almost looks otherwise visibly fatter than when he left earlier that night. Cue a happy Argyle like you said "Hark, my dude, I've got a delivery for Harrington. One pizza-stuffed lover boy, very well fed, extra blazed. Have fun and play safe, ok!" He leaves, so happy with himself and hair swinging behind him. Jonathan looks so scandalized you'd think he was shell shocked from the great war. Eddie's extra giggly, and practically bursting out of his clothes, and Steve is livid and thinking of how he's going to reassert boyfriend dominance, once Edd has had a chance to digest.
Re. anon asks - I *did* say it was going to happen this morning, then I overslept and had to get dressed n ready for work in the car like that mr bean episode, got held up at work for an extra hour, then held up by (self-diagnosed) minor but recurring car troubles that definitely deserve way more attention than I’ve currently paid them (in every sense of the word ugh $$), got stuck at home arguing a credit charge for about 2 hours, and then got an email saying it was the 70th anniversary of the flatswood UFO sghting sooo went down that uplanned rabbit hole for a little and now here we are
Frustrated and wired and working on asks hooo boy
Still at it - typing n banging away and making headway on something I don't find complete garbo
anyway! thats for me
Also I’m just deciding now
Wayne Munson is gay and autistic – I base this solely on 3 things – 1. his extensive, carefully displayed, collection of mugs and trucker caps, 2. the fact that he reminds me SO SO much of my, not diagnosed, but very very clearly autistic grandpa (RIP), and 3. my absolute need for him to be a gay elder to the party and Eddie’s grouchy & gruff, but secretly bigbig-heated softie, guncle
Tying into this - Eddie comes by his music genre obsessiveness honest and Wayne is a huge bluegrass & folk aficionado. His prized, ‘save in case of fire’, possession is his ‘Lavender Country’ vinyl, with the sleeve signed with little messages by the whole band
Also one day I’ll write something for my fav stranger things crack!ship - Murray/Wayne.
Alice Cooper, Elvira and Rob Zombie (1992)
Lol I'm posting the first few paragraphs of the HOTD fic I'm writing so I feel compelled to continue
Resentment burned like an inferno in the Aegon's chest. It was a feeling the youth had never seemed to grow used to, and one he knew no other means of quenching other than with goblet upon goblet of Arbor Gold, Dornish Strongwine, hells, even piss-weak spice mulled hippocras from the Reach. It mattered little the varietal, so long as it eased the resentful fire in his gut and dulled the echo of his mother's voice, which had long since burrowed deep into his psyche.
"Disgrace."
"Drunk."
"Lout. Lech. Rake."
Those were the easiest to drink and fuck away. There was always a waiting bottle to uncork, a wet hole to claim. By right he ought to be free to explore the life of a libertine. His lot was to enjoy everything a prince's station had to offer without the obligations that would be his sister's, the princess's royal. As his rotting father refused to let anyone forget, she was rightful heir to the iron throne. She would be Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.
Alas, his mother and scheming grandsire would allow him no peace. Even in solitude they remained with him, words repeating. And so he drank, and fucked, and ate, and did precisely as he pleased. Perhaps he thought to spite their machinations. Certainly he acted as he desired to.
It was not long before his inner tormentors expanded their vocabulary.
"Smell-Feast. Hogling. Glutton."
"Fat."
It's not much but it's honest work
lmao Joyce and Murray in s4 on that plane to Alaska
Murray reassuring Joyce about her kids “what’s the worst that could happen? They experiment sexually? Whatever”
Joyce being aghast coz she thinks Murray’s referring to Mike and El, but actually, he was DEFINITELY referring to Jonathan and Argyle
