what if in s5 steve and robin both get fatally injured and they’re just bleeding out, obstructed by smth so they can talk but not see each other, and robin goes quiet while steve’s talking and steve just shakily goes “robin? did you just OD over there?” and there’s no response
the way steve waits for robin to decide before he shakes his head. robin looking to steve for confirmation before she answers. they are so special to me
i would love a bunch of filler episodes for stranger things. i know logically they would be awful and everyone would hate them but show me mike and nancy bickering like siblings again. show me steve and robin driving to mcdonald’s at 3am. show me the party hanging out peacefully
i keep imagining nancy waking up in a cold sweat like a month later and going “oh my god she did that project with us” and then being too embarrassed to acknowledge she forgot her. that’s why she’s off with robin in s4 it’s pure embarrassment
robin's trauma doesn't get talked about enough... just because she didn't get beaten in the way that steve did doesn't mean that it wasn't still a traumatic experience for her too
steve would painfully drag himself over to her knowing she’s already gone and his vision’s blurring at the edges as he collapses next to her with the effort and i think he’d just. hold her close to him and close his eyes
do you ever think about how steve and robin, an eighteen and a seventeen year old, were held hostage, drugged and tortured and it’s never brought up again
lucas is one of the best if not THE best character of season three. he does not miss. arguing with erica? mumbling "oof" during the jancy argument? teasing mike and making will laugh? asking max if she has a new zit? ["they're my family"] "extended :)" he is my shining star
hi everyone this is my new st oc argyle flores. i think his face claim would be eduardo franco :) he is jonathan’s boyfriend but i also ship him with steve, eden and kali respectively sometimes. he’s best friends with robin, steve and nancy. i think he likes to smoke weed and—
steve picks up robin's daughter from school while she's at work. she runs into his car and immediately he hears "uncle steve! today someone ate a bug and ms norris told them off and i drew TWO pictures! one for mom and one for you and deedee. can we have pancakes tonight please?"
nancy walks into the room to find eddie mid-rant, wailing about the cruelty of deforestation. she’s surprised, not knowing eddie was so passionate about the planet— until mike sighs and tells her eddie’s upset that steve waxed his chest hair
@idiographs
this reminded me when i was a kid i stole the clothes from my brother’s action man figure so i could make my barbie be a soldier (she was erica from the princess and the pauper film)
robin and steve get a cat and everyone hears them calling her bel/bels so they think her name is belle or isabelle or annabelle or something and then one day el asks them what the cat's full name is and they have to break it to everyone that their cat is called doorbell
wait. au where tommy “disappeared” instead of barb. nancy doesn’t get involved with the upside down. then, 1986… barb is vecna’s first victim, and nancy runs
🧵 steve and robin are working when the party spill into family video, bickering before they’re even through the doors.
“hey, what’s—” steve starts, but dustin interrupts him immediately.
“we saw my mom hanging out with max’s mom,” dustin blurts out.
steve… is confused. “so?” +
nancy: you were stabbed. do you remember anything?
robin: only the ambulance ride to the hospital
eddie: that wasn't an ambulance, i drove you
robin: but i heard a siren?
nancy: that was steve
steve: sorry, i got nervous
robin isn't going to make fun of steve for not realising he's bi sooner. she's not going to be "steddie's
#1
shipper" or be grossed out by and/or be horribly jealous of them. she's a lesbian in the 80s, she knows firsthand how hard being queer is. she'd be delighted by queer joy
steve is the group mom... eddie thinks he's going to get to be the group's dad but gets told by dustin that they already have a group dad. eddie looks at him puzzled and dustin just tilts his head towards where robin is ruffling max's hair as she complains
lot of talk abt eddie apparently not caring for other people and i just want to highlight that when he realised robin was about to go in after steve and nancy he tried to grab her to stop her :(
one thing i don't like is the running jokes of "robin finds out steve is bisexual/dating eddie by [blank]" because. this is steve we're talking about. steve would tell robin every update on things as they happen. robin knows he likes eddie before eddie does
steve dies the night of his 24th birthday, after leaving his birthday party at nancy’s apartment, and finds himself in her bathroom back at the party. he writes it off as a weird high, until he dies again and wakes up in nancy’s bathroom AGAIN. and again. and again.
i don’t believe in the “upside down being stuck in 1983 causes the feelings from 1983 to be felt” because robin did not spend any time in the upside down trying to explode steve with her mind
nancy: i’m in love with your best friend
steve: you’re in love with eddie?
nancy: no that’s your boyfriend
steve: your boyfriend? jonathan? JONATHAN
nancy: no that’s my ex
steve: no i’m your ex. you’re in love with me? me?!
nancy: i’m in love with robin!
steve: my best friend?
it's homophobic if the duffers kill off robin. it's also homophobic to kill off robin's closest friends (steve, nancy, dustin, erica) because she'll be sad. it's ALSO homophobic to kill off people THEY'RE closest to, because them being sad would make robin sad. lesbian immunity
my minor improvements for stranger things:
— jonathan doesn't take a photo of nancy undressing, he takes one of barb and the window is in shot so it's a miscommunication
— karen wheeler nearly cheats with phil callahan not a teenager
— the party don't date til they're 16/17
"you should only ship canon ships because that's who the characters like" well i only ship non-canon ships actually. nancy's dating robin. jonathan's dating argyle. max is dating lucas AND el. mike's dating will. steve's dating eddie. claudia henderson's dating wayne munson
a common dynamic for robin and eddie is wlw/mlm hostility but we’re looking at the wrong people. robin and eddie are shown to like each other and be concerned for one another. for wlw/mlm hostility, we should look no further than max and mike
