were the words spoken by my good friend @justdoityoufucker who I have accidentally inspired to second-hand ship ruscan. I am here to deliver at long last 😔

Who's the big spoon?

Ivan finds great comfort in holding Matthew as they cuddle. And Matthew finds it comfortable too, but he also prefers to be the one doing the holding; he's spent so much time cuddling Kumajiro, it feels weird not to hold anything, even despite the size difference between the bear and man. But he can fall asleep anywhere, so to him it's not awkward at all. At first, it was awkward for Ivan, being the little spoon, he's just bigger than Matthew, but after some time, it started feeling too good to be true.

what is the POINT of introducing a character like Eddie and killing him off

cowardice to bravery sure, whatever it was that Murray said ab courage and stupidity depending on the situations,

like, you have a character, you introduce as this. no good sort of dude who's giving everyone he meets a new found confidence in living. literally, we meet him and he's boasting such confidence!! he's telling us how he's brought a new light into our loser protagonist's lives, etc etc, and he's so. he's also a huge coward. he runs from the scary stuff that he can't explain.

we learn stuff about him that make us think, hey, hey there's a guy with a well of potential to change for the better; like Steve, like Hopper, just give him a cause, his new ride or die friendships, but then, he fucking, he's gone.

nothing. Nada. all his potential gone.

like. it makes sense. it makes so much sense; he had nothing going for him, failed school, was a wanted man for being a murderer, a label he'd never let down, not in that rinky dink town.

he had to go, there was too much to fix with him and no time for it.

but it's so.

aggravating.

what's the point of giving us a fun character who's whole schtick is being a musician and music buff, no actual, plot relevance?? he could have been the one to play Max's song — everyone's favourite songs.

Dustin's mom "adopting" Steve

without his initial awareness of it happening

more Steve and Dustin being stupid geeks in each other's company. smth smth brother bonding at its finest

Steve getting stupid ab how he's getting that touch of family craves and Dustin affectionately mocking him

Johnathan and Nancy are more open with their feelings and are stronger for it. power couple at max strength

Mike and El determine they're just. vital to each other's life changing and don't need to kiss each other to be in it

El and Max are best fucking friends

Mike and Will figure out their shit and probably hold hands bc they're dorks

Argyle has a gun

Robin is sapping away Steve's ladies man charms and ends up being like, that one girl who's always popular with other girls and you're like "is this a harem anime" but she's still just a geek so she slips up and gets weird but the girls are always like "you're so cute"

Eddie and Steve barely tolerate each other's existence but only because they've decided to die for Dustin and decide that mutual agreement is cool of the other. this ends up melting as they learn why Dustin calls the other the coolest. they're gay.

they bring fire to fight the demobats

canon divergent post season 4 but in the way that Eddie and Max are pretty ok all things considered

Steve has a date he thinks might just vibe with him, only she cancels and he's shit out of things to do. He calls Robin to hang, only he gets a call fr Mrs. Sinclair like "hey can you watch my kids while we go to Indianapolis"

(side note: how the fuck far away is Hawkins fr Indianapolis?? for the sake of this, I'm imagining it to be in reasonable driving distance)

and so Steve tries to decline, Robin objects in that she has stuff to do tonight and so he sucks it up

he gets to the Sinclairs and Dustin is there too?? "oh Lucas is going to Dustin's for the night, don't worry about them."

the parents leave and then Max sneaks over and they all hang for a bit until the phone rings

it's Robin. She's run away from home in a panic spiral and is now having second thoughts while at the bus terminal. pls go get her.

so Steve is like "ok, Dustin, Lucas, Max, keep an eye on Erica. I'll be back in an hour"

Erica's like "my parents are paying YOU good money to watch me. not these dorks and Max"

and so they all pile into Steve's car and drive off to rescue Robin

Steve gets a flat, they end up getting a tow, but their driver gets a call about his wife cheating on him, and they go on a detour to kill the bastard.

gunshots and fighting happen at the new location.

the party escapes by hiding in another car. the car was being hijacked as they were getting into it.

they're taken to a new location, turns out it's a country wide operation, and now they know where the crime ring is. they're held in a dinky little office. they manage to escape by dumb luck of holes in ceilings and ceiling beams leading to open windows.

the crime boss notices they've gone and starts to pursue

Steve leads them into a random door on the street to evade, only they've ended up on a stage. and the act they've interrupted won't let them go unless Steve sings. so Steve sings about the crazy night he's been having.

the crime boss is in the audience, waiting, only Eddie is also in the audience and he runs after them to give them some help; wheels.

the party recounts to Eddie what exactly has happened so far this trip, and he's amazed that trouble seems to follow Steve wherever he goes, a bad quality for a babysitter.

Steve in the castle, getting pampered, giving love advice to the maids, blissfully unaware his husband is fighting for his god damn life,
