Stanger Things Recs- Fan Edits & Fan Art
In the past year or so I got into the Stranger Things' fandom. I thought it would be a fun way to have a never-ending compilation of fandom related content. I am on Tumblr and Youtube, so most of the content here are from said websites. My favourite character is Steve and as a result of it most of the following links will be more about the older kids and less about the little kids.
-I'm Just a Kid, by n0connections
As for a general edit for this show, this is a perfect edit. This show deals with literal kids trying to save the world, and with each passing season more and more kids get involved, and the seriousness of the situation grows. It isn't fun to talk and the trauma for the show runners, but the fans aren't afraid of it and have the different ways to
show and explore those traumas.
This video cotained only canon compliant segments. Combined with the song "I'm just a kid" who is filled with teenage angst and about how you are alone in the world. The song elevated and validated their experience.
On a more personal note, hearing this song was such a blast and nostalgic to me. And I still knew all the lyrics even though it's been a while.
-Tokyo Drift, by musicalchaos07
A fun compilation of the driving on the show along with an apropriate song.
-D&D, by kxsslikerealpeopledo
The voice clip is funny in itself, but the characterisation is on peak, especially Steve's.
-Treat, by mourntheantagonist
It's just funny and hilarious. I like the friendship dynamics it illudes to.
-Big Happy Family, by sailorbuckley
I just love videos who assign characters their part of a found family.
Steve Harrington & Dustin Henderson
-Hawkins' Hendringtons, by n0connection
Gilmore Girls AU, the opening credits. Every variation of Steve is actually Dustin's parent I eat right up.
Steve Harrington & Robin Buckley
The friendship between Steve and Robin is some of the best thing on the show. I love how they took a silly, borderline memable, song who fit perfectely with their dynamic.
My favourite part is how the line "Girls in bikiny are waiting for me" is accompanied Steve's little giggle before he tries to flirt in scoops ahoy.
-I'm Not Suicidale, by djohawke
This edit is like a primer for many of the well used headcanons for Steve. Personally I like to read the stories where Steve is suicidal and his fiends- especially Robin care about him. However, what I appreciate even more is Steve having suicide ideation. Him caring so much for the kids and his friends, that his own personal safety is dead last in his list.
-Nail, Hair, Hips, Hills, by thirdeye1234
This song is full of attitude just like Steve. It just fit.
-You're On Your Own Kid, by MockingJamie
This edit is a 4 season recap of Steve as a character and his arch. The song goes hand in hand with the character. Out of all the different "You're On Your Own Kid" edits, for all the different fandoms, this edit is by far the best. I've seen this video a million times. I've cried to it, and it made me feel so many different emotions. It also made me fall in love with the song (it was part of my most played songs of the year).
-Not Everything Has a Happy Ending, by rogueddie
A beautiful edit which shows all the angst and hardship Steve's been through in 4 seasons. A nice validation for all those fanfics about Steve's whump.
The song says it all, Steve is definetely a fictional crush and this edit portrays it spectacularly.
-Don't Trust Me, by gideoncharov
Something about the combination of the song with the images just sums "King Steve" perfectly. He is confident and he knows he is the hot shit.
-Demons, by MDR Productions
I think this edit and the song ties perfectly into "Mom Steve". Time and time again we see how he is readily to protect anyone he knows and love. Also it ties with all the tropes of "Steve Harrington has a dark past" such as "Steve Harrington has Bad Parents" or neglected Steve.
-Another One Bites the Dust, by Grable424
It's an incredible, fun, funky edit. The song is setting the perfect mood. But what really makes this edit so good is how she shows the contradictary in Steve as a character- the confident smooth guy, the clumsy unaware guy, the bortherline patheric guy, the protector physical guy.
A fun little Taylor Swift edit. I'm not gonna lie, every time I watch this edit I feel personally called out by the ending.
-1985, by Navi Fire-frost
Right of the bat I love the song choice, and she really did an excellent job with the editing to fit the words. I love how some lines are really on tune with the scenes- "His wife underwhelming cooking" along with the indignant look of Robin. "Some people really had to fight for survive and some people were white guys in 1985" along with Jonathan and Steve.
However the perfect lines were about how some people were living through the AIDS crisis and some people were Italian. Both of them goes perfectely with "Bisexual Steve Harrington" and "Italian Steve Harrington" respectfully.
Also the end of the song is just perfect. As someone whose father was 19 in 1985 and like Steve he is mostly dresses in polo shirts and the general style of Steve, I felt relatable. Also I thought it was fitting also for Joe Keery himself. In Kevin Pollak Chat Show he spoken about how Steve is reminding him of his dad, who was roughly the same age as Steve in the 80s and also dresses in a preppy style.
-The Innocence is Gone, by electricmunson
It's short but it's really explain perfectectly how season 4 unashamedly put Joe Keery like that. They knew exactly what they were doing and a lot of the fans can't complain.
-WAP, by rafescurtainbangz
I wouldn't mind to get a full edit to this song.
Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson
-Hellfire Band AU, by bachaboska
As a fake trailer it is edited so much like a real one. I love the editing and especially the choice of song.
-This boy is dangerous, by emsgoodthinkin
I love the song with the images the creator chose. It also ties with the type of stories where Steve was aware of Eddie's atraction for him, and not only that Steve is confident and have no problem to flirt right back. I love "Confident Bisexual Steve Harrington".
-Steddie as Canon, by eddielove
This edit is really good and shows a different version of season 4. There are a lot of fanfiction with the plot of Eddie entering the story earlier than season 4. A personal favourite take of mine is secretly dating Steddie, until the events of season 4 let the secret out to the rest of the party. The stories that goes hard into their shared senior year together are a really appreciated and fun to read.
-Head Over Hills, by eddielove
I just love the song, and the emotions of the song along with the peak 80's vibe of it. The softness of the song along with the editing is perfect and it once again ties to the secretly dating before season 4 angle.
-And your Best Friend Too, by emsgoodthinkin
The vibe and the clips just show off their attractiveness. But also it really give the vibes of all the threesome of Steve/Eddie and another character. I don't always read thressome fics of them, but some of them just hit. With the vibe of this video, it ties with the character who is attractive and is torn apart while needing to choose between Steve and Eddie. Every one has his own aspects they really love. Eventually after tearing themselves apart the boys put mercy on the charachter and tell them how they don't need to choose just one of them, they can have both.
-I want to Swoon You Baby, by windlass262
It's just adorable. The art is pretty and I love how flustered Steve get because he was never swooned before.
-Everybody Wants To Rule the World, by aexphr
It's a cute edit and change of the original scene. It's a pretty much sum the dynamics of this ship.
-But You Broke Mine, by unanuvola
I just love the nerative. It also fit with a lot of the fics where Steddie was a thing priar to season 4, they broke up and the events of season 4 bring them back together.
Tommy Hagan/Steve Harrington/Carrol Perkins/Nancy Wheeler
-Boys & Girls, by pr1nce-steve
I just adore the stories where they goes hard into the friendship of Tommy, Carol and Steve. Extra bonus if it include Tommy/Steve/Carol thing that Nancy abruptly stopped and that's why Tommy and Carol hated her so much. This edit is exactly about this scenerio.
Tommy Hagan & Steve Harrington & Billy Hargrove
-Something 'Bout You, by gayfiction
Steve has a face that people like to beat up.
-What's In Your Head, by xPsychoLoveProdzx
This edit and the next both used the song Zombie but in different ways. The lyrics really fit with Billy's story and charachter. This edit follows the canon, but it makes you understand the charachter better. I love it when the chosen music dictated the nerative, and this is a fine example for it.
I really liked how it portrayed the continuation of the cycle of abuse. How Neil mistreats Billy, and Billy mistreat Max. The music inhances the massage by talking about how history is repeating itselfs
-Teen Idle, by queen-helaenas-pet-spider
This song is a lot about mental health and regrets about your teens. It fits with Billy really well, especially this part of the song. It just the perfect vibe for him.
-My Castle's Crumbling Down, by mourntheantagonist
This song, like many of Taylor Swift's songs put a vivid imagery in my head. If you're looking at the rest of my page, you would see primarily ice hockey related content. And this song is really really NHL coded. However, when it comes to the bridge it is the perfect Billy coded. The bridgeis literally about the silence before the storm. How despite how people made you to be the villain you are still standing tall and will make him take back their opinion. Which is exactly how Billy was at his last minutes. I watched this edit in loops many times.
-Comfortably Numb, by luckylocus
The song really fits with Billy being flayed by the mindflayer.
Billy Hargrove & Max Mayfield
-I don't relate to You at All, by babylove176
It shows perfectedly the messy relationship between Billy and Max. The song fit seemlesly as well.
Billy Hargrove/Steve Harrington
-Hairy Cam, by shieldofiron
I'm sorry, but I am too is so into the hairy chest of Joe Keery. He looked so hot in those scenes in season 4, and this video is an appreciation, as well as a Billy/Steve video dedicated to Steve's hairy chest.
-They Scream, by saberghatz
It's a fun spirited edit, with the soundtack of 'Dirty Dancing', what not to like.
-Billy Asking Steve Out, by fizzigigsimmer
It's a short, funny edit. Poor Eddie.
-Pants, by giurochedadomani
This Tik Tok and speech is hilarious on its own, and it really fits with Billy's and Steve rivalry and suposed sexual tention and homoeroticy.
-Billy Survives, by saberghatz
This is phanominal editing. It's looks like a legit trailer. I really liked the use of the songs, especially 'Climbing Up The Hill'. Also I'm a sucker for the line "Am I dreaming or is it you Harrington?"
-Shower Scene, by martianclown
I just love the Tommy bashing in that one.
-A Tough Year, by ickypuppi3
I just love this edit and it makes me want to read a whole 50k fic about Jason Carver pov about having to suffer the sexual tension and pining of two of the team stars.
I just love this sound, and all of its form. Also it fits perfectedly with all the fics were Billy is a closeted gay man, and Steve is just oblivious to Billy's crush.
-Go to Bed, by mourntheantagonist
I love the stories and edits where Steve is the one with the say in the relationship with Billy. Billy loves every second of it.
-Stop Looking At Me, by clownwix
I love the art and the soundbite.
Once again, the art. And season 3 Steve is really is a treat.
-Whore, by mourntheantagonist
I love the soundbit and the accent of Dave Mitchel, along with the twist.
It fits Billy's personality just right.
-Over This Teenage Dream, by findafihgt
I think it's a fun edit to characterize him. Also the song and the images remind me of the Altracation between Murray and Steve in chapter 25 of the incredible fic of Jackrabbit Underneath by Grey_Lark.
-Camp Strangers, by tubesock86
I just love the art so much. It gives the vibes exactly right without spelling it. It also feel like a perfect AU for the show, while still keeping the same vibe. Also it really give me the vibes of "Fear Street, Part 2, 1978 (which coincidentally starring Sadie Sink). Especially with the camp counslers of the movie.
-Steve Plays DnD, by habken
It's a cute little comic. It also go well with all the fics and headcanons of Steve finally wore down enough to try playing DnD, and how most of the time it doesn't go smoothly.
-Steve's Clothes. by poisonyvs
I love the concept. Steve and Robin are the type of friends who wear each other clothes.
-It's Always Sunny in Hawkings, by tubesock86
I love when talented people recreate random photos for a different fandoms. Out of all the pictures to recreate out of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" this is the perfect picture.
-Corroded Coffin Album Cover, by artbean
-Corroded Coffin Second Album, by artbean
Those two links are an incredible, creative design of Corroded Coffins' Albums.
-Steve's Colage, by skepsis
It's a perfect, cute, colage of Steve.
-Bathroom Floor, by rilinhyl
I love the watercolor painting. It's soft but also not at the same time and I find myself wanting to look at it for a very long time.
-Crop Top, by steddicameraroll
I love the style of Steve on the show, and I think he looks really good in it, but we were robbed.
Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson
-Steve Harrington- Kinktober Latex, by dreaminginpencil
It's sexy, it latex, and it leave too little and too many for the imagination.
-Hockey Player Steve, by fernandesart
-Hockey Player Steve, Figure Skater Eddie, by fernandesart
Those two are a headcanon of the creator, Steve is a hockey player, Eddie is a figure skater. It goes perfectely with many of the romance hockey book, enemies-to-lovers (especially "Ice Breaker").
Also, the fact that Joe Keery played hockey growing up, and is a hockey fan is just perfect for this head canon.
It's just really really good. I love the details and how it paints a whole story. I love how Steve is wearing Eddie's vast but I love how he paired it with the short gym shorts- the perfect combination between the old and the new Steve.
I want to think that Steve invited Eddie to his house to "hang out", Eddie let himself in and trying to find Steve. When he went upstairs towards his room, the door is closed. He knocked on the door one, as a warning, before he let himself in. He walks in to the perfect image of Steve, wearing his old gym shorts. This pair is short, and with a the position of Steve's leg, there are some hidden gems being reveiled. When Eddie raises his eyes a bit he balatedely realize that Steve is wearing his Dio vast. Since what happened with Vecna Steve didn't return the vast, and Eddie couldn't complain.
I also really love the implication, without showing any sorts of nudity.
-Kissing, by litteleststarfighter
I just love the yellow sweater of Steve, and I love the expose skin between the two of them.
-Steddie, cigarettes, by boohonya
As I said earlier, I love when poeple recreating random pictures. I also love how in this specific picture it could be read as homo erotic or as a romantic, indirect kiss.
-Frat Bros, by unspecifiedfigure
Like I said, I love all the recreations of random bros photos.
Another recreation of a photo. I love the vibes of this, it fits great with all the "eddie is pining and super attracted to Steve" fics.
-By the Poll Side, by inflomora-art
I really love the colors and the position of the two of them. Steve's house is private so they would feel more comfortable to be intimate without the fear of uninvited eyes watching.
It's also remind me of chapter 4 of Step With Me Into Indecency, by wilting_aspen. I highly recommend this story.
-Bathroom Bar, by ah-jiing
A sexy, slightly smutty art. It reminds me of the story you can feel his heart, but you know he's mean , by oklahoma.
I love it, I just love when people are reffering to the fact that they shared a senior year. Especially the juxtaposition between athlete Steve and two-times senior Eddie.
-Horro Camp, by littlestarfighter
This Camp AU is more on the realistic side. And I love how you can feel how unsure they are, even slightly scared.
Steve Harrington & Dunstin Henderson
-Steve+ Dustin- season 2, by fennethianell
They are just adorobale together, I really liked their bonding in season 2.
Steve Harrington & Robin Buckley
-Stobin Sharing a Bed, by kaspurrcat
They would 100% share a bed, so I love everything about it.
-Vampire Stobin, by sentient-trash
I love the vibes of the original painting, and how he took it and put his own twist in it. Also I love how he put Steve in the dress and Robin in the suit.
-Friendship Goals, by ioannushka
It's adorobale and exactly how I see their friendship in my mind.
Robin Buckley/Chrissy Cunninghum
-Buckingham, by glitterfang
I like watching and reading about the two of them. It's fun and the art is pretty.
-Bily Playing Basketball, by aggressiveviking
I love the idea of him putting his curls in a tie. I know how annoying it can be all the hair in the way in the middle of the game.
-Female Billy, by valtoon
I love how she kept the aggresiveness and the dominant fitures of his face. I love the hair as well.
Billy Hargrove/Steve Harrington
-Giving a Hand, by generalghosty
I love this scene, and especially this part.
-Hockey Bros, by akioukun
I love the Hockey AU. But especially I love how they seemed Buddy Buddy, but judging by Billy's face you can see the complicated emotions between the two of them.
Max Mayfield/Lucas Sinclair
It's such a happy, beutiful painting. I love seeing the contrast of the colors between them.
-Zombie Boy, by willnmike4l
I really liked the color scheme and the style.
I hope you enjoyed it. I'm working on part 2 with different espects of the fandom.
