this ask was just funny to me because steve's ending was actually moreso in-line with the fanon version of him: reduced to taking care of kids, ignoring the other parts of his character. the whole finale was incredibly reductive of every single character and almost none of the endings were "perfect" for the characters, especially not steve. and while i potentially see elements of steve's ending making sense, the execution was bad.
it's funnier to see someone try to say stancys have a "fanon" version of steve when we're the ones actually trying to engage with all the facets of his character, not just babysitter steve. like for example, him being a character who stated he's all about moving forward, and now he's settling in hawkins and buying a house? but tell me again how I'm focusing on a fanon version of him by saying his ending doesn't land? 🤔
