Steve Harrington's Dad

have they made a term yet for "I don't ship these two characters, I don't like them together in a relationship and think they are bad for each other, but I do believe they're together or at least hooking up. like in canon. I'm not happy about it but I know it's happening" ???

That's because obviously Steve got adopted by Claudia. That's her son as well. 😌

My favourite thing about the Steve-Dustin friendship is that Dustin randomly stole Steve from the streets in broad daylight one day, and he's been stuck mothering a number of children ever since...

Sorry, I actually cannot stop thinking about the implications of Dustin saying “you always try to get yourself killed.” Because while that’s been seen in canon, with Steve always putting himself on the front line to protect the kids, it’s something else to have Dustin notice it. It’s giving “I see your suicidal tendencies and please god I cannot lose another friend.” I just. Steve Harrington means so much to me as a person—and the fact that we have an active moment in canon where someone calls him out on his SI??? Especially when all season, people have been just shitting on him. It makes me cry.

Stranger things season 5 is legitimately one of the worst seasons of television ever to publicly air. And then there'll be a scene with joe keery and gaten or sadie and caleb and it feels like you're watching fucking succession with the difference in acting quality compared to everyone else

Steve is MAD at Eddie for dying. He's mad. He's mad at what it's done to Dustin and mad he lost a friend. That fight was so well done. Dustin isn't capable of hearing those things but he needs to. He has to. And Steve is tired. How many times has he tried to talk about this to Dustin only to be rebuffed and insulted? Ugh they put two of their strongest actors and gave them the plotline of a lifetime.

Reviewbombing an episode that, while not perfect, would absolutely never have such a low rating if not for coordinated fandom action, based on mass delusion about an alleged sum of footage that was cut thats essentially someone's twitter fanfic, is crazy. This has been the most embarassing time since I've ever been a fan of this show

You know despite the attention he's had most of his life, I truly do think that that conversation with Dustin was the probably first time in his life Steve Harrington ever felt truly and utterly irreplaceable and precious to someone else. Imagine thinking that you're mostly just the guy who's there to take the hits (and yes your friends do love you but you think they'd learn to be ok without you eventually) to then be HIT with the reality that someone's world would simply crumble without you in it. Dustin and Steve you shine brighter than all the stars in the sky I am so serious

In retrospect this post has me feeling both very vindicated and very sad
