So here is a small post of mine with some infos about what I’m going to do during the whole month of June before Stranger Things 4 releases.
I will not be able to be with you during your experience of the show because I have some IRL matters I will have to take care of during Pride month that will not so be Pride month for me. Don’t worry I will come back at some point, but it will probably after Vol. 2. releases. Which will be around the start of July.
So it means that by tomorrow, even today, I will take a long break from the Stranger Things fandom as it’s going to take too much of time that I need to use for other stuff.
Which means no reactions, analyses, theories or thoughts during that time, I will be completely absent. It will also allow me to have some form of a break to reorganise and prepare myself when I come back.
In the meantime, I’ll ask all of you to please not send me any spoilers, asks, messages or other things to me since if I am able to experience the season, I want it to be with my own interpretation of it. Especially if it’s with the full body of work.
So shhh, my comrades… My return will come soon enough.
I also know there are many posts that I was supposed to make but that I saved somewhere else depending on what The Duffers do in Season 4 & revamped and put it together with another post to make things shorter. Some of these posts contain diffcult topics and subjects and I want to wait and see if Stranger Things 4 even tries or dares to go there.
They already know but the people I am the most connected to here knows that I will also if Season 4 is really worth to watch. But the uncertainty about it’s quality and what they will do sometimes can be extremely draining, so I will ask some thoughts about what they think of it. I don’t want to experience something unpleasant for me especially if it is that long. It’s still highly likely that I’ll watch it no matter how displeased I am with it, because I know myself in saying something but doing another.
Plus it’ll also allow me to not experience whatever frenzy or insanity Vol. 1. and possibly Vol. 2. will give birth to. No ship wars and endless stupid discourses that I just cannot stand no matter how hard I tried to. Plus the animosity with whatever comes with which content people are going to get and the reaction to some new and old theories too.
If some people were right or wrong about some things, than they were right or wrong about those things. We should just prepare it and accept it, no matter how much we don’t like it. (…) But if we are right or wrong about some things, than we will be right or wong about those thing. I don’t think there’s any need, at least for me anymore, to try and get into petty fights even if you disagree or don’t like what’s being done or said. That goes for people outside from here and us too. (You can be a bit smug if you are right about some things, we’ll allow you that… Especially if it was extremely unpopular and met with animosity.) But I think it’d be better now if we move on from it because it gets nowhere everytime.
As for the others who don’t follow me for Stranger Things, don’t worry I will still be here and post some reviews about shows and movies I was supposed to do or am supposed to do. It won’t take too long compared to Stranger Things that’s why but don’t expect too many reblogs or long discussions. Just one review for the most part and then I am gone. Better Call Saul here we come!
But don’t worry I will come back, as I always do. Until then I hope you enjoy whatever you can enjoy until we get really interesting and weird once again.
But until then… See you soon! ✌Or should I say…
˙ǝpᴉs ɹǝɥʇo ǝɥʇ uo noʎ ǝǝs
P.S. And I don’t want to hear or see that stupid word we said we shall not use anymore when I come back Byler shippers! I’m warning you…
(This will be my last post/theories before ST4 finally releases. Hope you enjoy it given little time we have left.
I’ll probably do just one small post right after this one about when (if ) I will watch ST4 & what I’ll do from May 27th to July 1st & beyond. Just to let you know about some things so I don’t worry anyone who follows me.
Keep in mind this is something I see more happening in Vol. 2. Or when Will & El reunites in the later parts of the story. Don’t expect it to be really present in Vol. 1.
Here it is now. Hope you enjoy it.)

Will and True Sight in S4.
__________________
So in Season 4, we’re going to meet the new and let’s hope, not going to create inconsistencies, monster called Vecna.
We have already talked about the parallels that exist between that character and many other things in ST such as Will, Billy or even El. But one thing that connects it to Will and that I think is important is that they both have “True Sight” or a version of it, at least as the show presents it or may present it for Vecna, and I think this will come into play.
I’ve noticed not so long ago that Will’s eyes on his poster were very unusual. More brown-ish. Which reminded me of when Will got possessed by the Mind Flayer when his eyes became dark brown and were he had True Sight.
At the time, he described it as “being caught between two slides” which also reminded me about all the character posters where we have all the characters being in the middle of two different version of the same place location they are in, the outside world as we know it and the Upside Down. They are caught between two slides.
Given the main inspo that is behind this season, Nightmare On Elm Street especially Dream Warriors, plus many others such as the one we’re going to talk about down under this post, Vecna’s powers will be to likely be able to drag people into the Upside Down, enter their minds, manipulate their dreams, nightmares or memories and create visions or illusions. Or something similar to those things.
It’s something that Will, Billy & El have all experienced in some ways. Billy and Will more than anyone but this time it seems that the people who were usually the main victims of the Upside Down will not be at the center of it this season. Instead it’s the other character who most of the time went against the Upside Down who will fall victim to it. And I think that they may be helped and even win because of Will & El when they finally arrive in Hawkins.
We know that Will & El’s storyline this season is going to be mostly about non-supernatural struggles and of course identity related issues. It also has been a long time coming that the two of them shares interactions together and develop a bond given they have a mysterious connection that is yet to be explained.
But at some point they’re going to get back into that plot anyway (El more than anyone in that group it seems) and I think we can bring that non-supernatural arcs they had for most of the season plus that bond they built this season for what awaits them in Hawkins and of course, in Vol. 2.
However both of them, especially El, seems to be targeted by bullies and seems to suffer from severe harassment. Yet Will is unable to really do anything about it and can only just comfort her or help her get through it.
And this is where I think many VSF movies will or might come into play and the “Alan Turing” element too.
*Every movie mentioned or shown under this are on the VSF movies list and are therefore official inspos regardless the way they were used*
_____________________
*Already did a first part about Stranger Things & The Matrix but connected to El this time. You can find it in the index post if you’d like to read it.*
Stranger Things,Will&The Matrix. (2/2)
Alan Mathison Turing was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. He also was very important during WW2 as he helped intercept transmissions of the enemy.
Yet his ending is quite a tragic one, Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts. He accepted hormone treatment with DES, a procedure commonly referred to as chemical castration, as an alternative to prison. Turing died on 7 June 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined his death as a suicide, but it has been noted that the known evidence is also consistent with accidental poisoning.
So we can see why Alan Turing is something Will would be into given his nerd status and why the Duffers chose that specific historic figure for Will.
Now given what the man did, people assume that what this may hint is that Will will intercept a transmission or message from a group like the Army, probably connected to El so they can get her back which could very well be possible. But I have a feeling there could be another meaning behind that choice, especially since the monsters of the Upside Down have once been compared to the Nazis.
And this is where The Matrix comes in, which depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside a simulated reality and computer generated world, the Matrix, which intelligent machines have created to distract humans while using their bodies as an energy source. When computer programmer Thomas Anderson, under the hacker alias “Neo”, uncovers the truth, he joins a rebellion against the machines along with other people who have been freed from the Matrix.
The Matrix is all about freeing your mind, waking up from a dream and discover your true self and abilities. Which seems to be what our characters this season are going through. Plus The Matrix has an iconic element which is it’s code, green and falling like a rain.
There seems to be some inspiration abour that in the Season 3 teaser which gave us the Russian code as a teaser and was shown looking very similar to this.
(Edit: I just realised, “when blueandyellow meets in the west” blue+yellowmakesgreen just like the Matrix code. *wink wink* )
And of course the first minutes of the movie itself is very reminiscent of what is in this teaser:
When humans go into The Matrix and are awaken, they develop certain abilities that allows them to bend The Matrix and it’s logic to their will.
But given the Alan Turing connection Will has, I think it’s interesting to point out the parallel between the two.
They both their own self-given nicknames, “Neo” for Thomas and Will The Wise for Will. Both are into computer stuff and both are outcast in their world. They both experience weird dreams or visions in their world that are extremely real and are mysteriously connected to the surreal world they have experienced. Both also “died” at some point within their story but came back to life shortly after.
There’s also the element of The Matrix being a trans allegory given the fact it’s two creators are trans which fits with Will’s sexual identity issues and how discovering and accepting yourself allows you to explore of your own self.
One striking similarity is how Will in the last episode of Season 1 has a vine going inside him similar to how Neo has some sort of tube going inside. The similarities doesn’t stop there since the world in which these two events happen are extremly similar, a desolate, cold and dark work. Few differences seperate the two as for Neo it is the real world while for Will it is the Upside Down.
At the end of the movie, Neo discover or realises of if you will that he is the chosen one. Someone who is supposed to free the people trapped in The Matrix and show them the truth. It is then that he is able to see the code of the Matrix in any location and is able to surpass all the other people, machines and programs are awaken with abilities that none of the other have.
He does so via his love for Trinity or should I say Trinity accepting that she loves him and giving him a sign that she does indeed love him. (*wink wink* Make of that what you want but I think you know what I am implying for Will here. No it’s not El, it’s… someone else as David Harbour said. “when blueandyellow meets in the west”…)
In the context of Will having True Sight or some version of that, I think it is interesting to consider the possibility of Will being able, just like when he senses the Mind Flayer, to see through or be unaffected by Vecna’s abilities.
It is one of the effect of True Sight in D&D. Seeing through illusions and other weird abilities changing the perception.
Or if he does get affected he may be able to see through it and how it works, cracking a code and maybe work around them or even manipulate part of Vecna’s illusions or visions. Using his powers against him even. Defeating the Nazis in some ways.
This is where he could come in and try to help the others who suffer from it, as in Max, Nancy, Robin, Steve or even El since she seems to be in bad shape in the trailer during some UD encounter. (Plus if we take the new D&D campaign for what it is, as @kaypeace21 pointed out, the dice landing on an 11 might not be good for her nor our heroes because perhaps she won’t be able to win or go toe to toe with the threat this season as it works differently.)
Since he experienced it himself and knows how it works better than anyone else, he could help her and the others defeat Vecna by making them learn how True Sight works.
In that way, we may change the dynamic that’s been established before where everyone saves Will. This time it’s him who saves or help them go against the threat.
This is where perhaps the Luke and Leia dynamic could come between El and Will, if El gained also a similar connection to the UD. We could have a similar dialogue to Return of The Jedi that I pointed out not so long ago where Luke reveals to Leia they are twins and that she has a connection to the Force too. Put True Sight instead of the Force and it works perfectly, well… I don’t know about the twin part but you never know.
But that would mean that Will would have to put himself in danger and actually face the enemy for real this time which didn’t go so well for him last time.
_____________________
Given the fact El gets bullied and faces a lot of challenges this season and Will is there to witness most of the time, he may try to step in and protect her at some point to help her unlike the other times when he didn’t do it. Will has never been one to take action on it’s own unless he is pushed into a corner. It would be some nice development for him if that’s the case.
If he feels guilty to not have been able to do more for El and the others, he may try to face Vecna to protect El which could put him in grave danger. We know the Byers can take after one another’s characteristics, it wouldn’t surprise if Will is El’s Jonathan. If something really bad happens at the Roller Rink, I could see him trying to avoid that for El once again.
One movie points to that, it’s called Willow. To make it short, Willow, a farmer, is entrusted with the task of delivering Elora *wink wink*, a princess who is destined to defeat the evil Queen Bavmorda, to the humans to keep her safe. However, he faces a lot of obstacles.
Willow is an aspiring sorcerer and even gets a magic wand (who can throw lightning) to help him through his journey. During the final battle, he helps many of his companions & allies through magic and even defeats the evil Queen because of it, who almost sacrificed Elora by using her rituals. She ends up banished because of Willow who tricks her into using her rituals by attacking him after making her think Elora has dissapeared.
He then gains a magic book because of him saving the world. Again I could see that happening for Will if he tries to help El and tricks Vecna by using his powers against him.
There’s also Dream Warriors, the obvious inspiration for Stranger Things 4 where teens are trying to fight Freddy in their dreams by using some form of supernatural abilities. One character is probably like the most obvious inspo for Will, since he is also called Will and is into board games. (It’s also implied just like Will at the end of season 2 who almost killed himself by suggesting to close the gate, he may have almost taken his life because of Freddy which made him lose his ability to walk.)
In his dreams, he becomes the Wizard Master and uses lightning to fight Freddy. Unfortunately he dies but he was able to hold his own for a moment as he destroyed one of Freddy’s illusions which mocked him for having lost his ability to walk.
Now it made me think about Will’s strange actions in the Upside Down in Season 1 where he was able to manipulate the lights in a way that’s very different from the others. He was able to be extremely precise in his usage of the objects to communicate with Joyce.
He was even able to put some music on the radio which is like extremely weird for just a normal boy. It fits with the theory he has been some sort of psychic way before the events of Season 1. Electrokinesis would be an interesting power to have and it would be very different from El’s powers.
However just like Neo who can only really use his abilities in The Matrix, I could see Will’s powers only being able to manifest fully when he is in the Upside Down. This would allow some form of balance to not make him too OP compared to the other characters. (Plus it may question even more the connection he has with the UD and that they keep marketing into ST4. *wink* NeverEnding Story *wink*, @ghostgirlinsatin will surely approve. (Well we gotta have some sort of chosen one trope in there just like with The Matrix. ))
I mean electrokinesis is not something you can miss on the VSF movies list anyway. (I like Thor: Ragnarok and Gandalf being there, surely doesn’t seem to hint at anything especially when both gain and awaken new powers by facing an evil threat.)
Thinking about it Avengers: Age Of Ultron also comes to mind, Wanda who got her powers from the Mind Stone tries to get into Hawkeye’s mind but he stops her by electrocuting her. (And her twin comes to save her after that. Funny…)
Hawkeye had previously been possessed by Loki via the same Mind Stone. Nice to subvert that again and ST Twitter did associate Will with Hawkeye so it’s a win win situation for us. Maybe Will could do that to Vecna if he tries to get into too much personal stuff inside his head…
Now this could happen in many ways as I have said above but regardless of whether Will faces Vecna or not or his abilities work on him, I don’t think Will will leave ST4 without any scars or reveal about his character.
But reversing his previous role into the story by using the same ability that once scared him to help others and stand against the monster would be a good development for him especially going into the final season. Especially if the Willel relationship comes into play and serves to something. And perhaps more if there is more.
Well… whatever that may look like for him.
But using the lightbulb and red bike from Season 1 seems really interesting for what his arc might be about this season, I can only hope for some good stuff. Especially when it’s so cryptic and that it seems to want to take us back to the beginning.
I am craving for some answers but I’ll have to wait a bit more longer for that I think.
I just watched the new Stranger Things trailer, and I am genuinely nervous for the next season. I swear if they kill off any characters, I am going to sue. Idk who I’m gonna sue, but…..
Summary:You and Steve have been dating for a about a year, growing closer ever since the Demogorgon shit happened. Dustin was over the moon when you and Steve began dating. However, with that comes consequences. Dustin won’t stop asking the two of you questions regardless if their uncomfortable, he doesn’t give a shit. You find it hilarious and cute, until your brother asks the question you never thought he’d ask.
A/N:I’ve been in a big writing kind of mood, so enjoy a Steve Harrington x-reader; I haven’t written for him in awhile. Enjoy!
My fellow students walked passed me as I stood in front of my locker, gathering my school supplies for the weekend. Steve, Dustin and I had planned to have a movie night and just hang out. When my boyfriend for a year and I were hanging out, my younger brother had overheard that two of us were going to have a movie night. Dustin insisted that he join us, wishing to be with his two favorite people.
Of course I couldn’t say no. I mean I could, but I’d look like an asshole. A pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist and spun me around. Steve rested his chin on my shoulder, lightly kissing the side of my neck.
He set be back onto the ground with his back pressed against the set of lockers. My boyfriend grinned and slipped his favorite pair of sunglasses off (GIF Above). “Hey,” he greeted with his hands on my hips, glancing down at my lips then to my Y/E/C eyes.
“Hi,” I responded.
Steve watched me turn back to my locker, grabbing my French textbook. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear then kissed my cheek. I felt him smirk against my rosy cheeks as I snickered at his public affection. Steve closed the locker then swung an arm around my shoulders. The two of us walked down the hallway towards his adored car that was parked out front.
I waved to Stella - my brother’s math tutor - as she stood beside her boyfriend, Danny. We finally made it outside where a bunch of students were still conversing with their friends. “Malady,” Steve bowed, opening the passenger door of his car. I shook my head in amusement and sat in the front passenger’s seat. He stole a quick kiss before walking around the car to get into the driver’s seat.
“So, you ready for tonight?” Steve inquired as he pulled away from our school’s parking lot. I shrugged my shoulders and looked out of the window. Bright green trees flew by along with the occasional suburban style home. “Sure. Hanging out with my boyfriend, and my younger brother. What could go wrong?” I remarked.
My loyal and sweet boyfriend set a hand on my knee, running a thumb along the side of my leg. “I’m sure it won’t be too bad,” Steve comforted.
+++++
(Later that night - outfit 2)
Multiple savory and sweet goodies sat on the coffee table as I attempted at trying to find a movie for us to watch. The two boys sat on the patterned sofa, munching on a bowl of popcorn while I flipped through the DVD box. “Okay,” I sighed, “We’ve got Terminator,Gremlins.” I gasped at the sight of Sixteen Candles, me and Nancy’s favorite movie. I glanced at the two boys.
They groaned and shook their head in disagreement. I ignored their expressions, setting the film into the ‘To Watch’ pile. “Um, Footloose,The Karate Kid, and Ghostbusters.” I waited for them to respond. Steve and Dustin glanced at one another then back to me. I raised my brows, expecting a quick response.
“You pick,” Steve suggested with a wink and his heart melting smirk.
“If I pick, I’m going to get a lecture with you two saying,” I lowered my voice to sound deeper, “You always choose those chick flicks, ones with a ton of kissing.” Dustin raised his brows with his arms crossed. “That’s not true, and we don’t sound like that,” my brother claimed. I let out a sigh and looked back down at the stack in my hands.
I waited a few more seconds and picked out Ghostbustersfrom the short pile. Steve and Dustin fist bumped one another, hoping that I wouldn’t see but I still did. “Alright. Were all set,” I plopped down onto the couch. Steve put his arm around my shoulders and kissed me on the cheek.
“I can still see, you know?” Dustin said from the left of me. I rolled my eyes and rested my head on Steve’s shoulder, snuggling into his side. From the corner of my eye, I noticed my brother glance at us; his mouth flipping to a grin at the two of us. “Hold up, I gotta pee,” Steve removed his arm around my shoulders, jumping up from the couch.
“What! The movie just started!” Dustin exclaimed with his hands points in the direction of the television. Steve flipped my brother off and made his way to my bathroom. Standing up from the couch, I grabbed the empty chip bowl and walked over to the kitchen. “Hey! I’ve gotta question,” Dustin jumped up from the couch towards where I stood.
“And I’ve got an answer.”
Dustin huffed and sat down at the island. He played with the cloth napkins that were in the middle of the counter. I noticed something was on my brother’s mind. “Hey, everything okay?” I asked, pouring the last bit of the tortilla chips.
He glanced down the hallway then back to me who stood waiting in front of the granite counter top. Dustin let out a sigh yet again. “Have you-have you and Steve 'done it’?” my brother stuttered, using air quotation marks around the two words. I whipped my head up from the opened trashcan with the blue empty chip bag still in my hands
His face was dead serious, telling me that he really wanted to know. My mouth stayed agape as I tried to figure out how to answer with the bag now crushed in my hands. “Um….” I trailed, “N-No. We haven’t.” Dustin looked at me with raised brows, not accepting my response as a real one. Steve interrupted our conversation.
Steve rubbed his hands together and sat down on the couch. He furrowed his brows, arms throwing up. “What’s the hold up? Let’s get this going!” he said. “I promised Max I’d let her borrow a sweater, I’ll be right back,” I spoke, which wasn’t a total lie. I threw the crushed plastic bag away and rushed over to my bedroom.
Earlier in the week, Max had asked to use one of my sweaters for her double date with Lucas, Mike and Eleven. I fumbled through the closet in search for the yellow and white turtle neck. “Gotchya,” I muttered, taking the article of clothing off the plastic hanger.
A knock from the bedroom door sounded from the right of me. Steve stood there with a warm smile on his freckled face, a strand of hair covering his forehead slightly. “Find that sweater for Max?” he asked.
“Yep,” I answered, “Max always gazes at it whenever she and Eleven come over.”
Steve followed me with his handsome brown eyes as I folded it neatly into a reusable grocery bag. Steve glanced over his shoulder then back to me. “Can we talk for a second?” he asked. I looked up at him and nodded, ushering him to close the door.
He shut my bedroom door, his hands finding their way to the pockets of his grey sweatpants. I could hear Dustin in the living room cursing at our orange cat who was desperately hop onto the couch. “Did you tell Dustin that we you know….” Steve said. “Haven’t done what all couples do in their relationships?” I interrupted, my arms swinging at my sides.
The topic was a sore subject. Steve chuckled and sat down on my made bed. I joined his side. “No, I didn’t tell him, but he’s smart so he’ll figure it out soon enough,” I said. He snickered softly, trailing his eyes away from the carpeted flooring of my bedroom.
“He asked you, didn’t he?” I said.
“Yeah.”
“Of course he did.”
I groaned, falling back as I hit my mattress. The corners of Steve’s lips lifted as he looked at me while I ran a hand through my hair; my tank top lifting up a bit, the top hem of underwear peeking a bit. “I mean, we had to expect that he’d ask,” Steve said. He withdrew his eyes from my exposed skin.
“We’re his two favorite people in the world. Apart from the Ghostbuster characters.”
I laughed at his retort with my arms resting above my head. We sat in comfortable silence, enjoying each other’s company. This is not how we thought our night was gonna go, but I guess we should’ve known this was going to happen at some point in our relationship.
Given that we’ve only been dating for a year, and within that year the two of us hadn’t really reached the point in our relationship where we, you know. The thought that we haven’t had sex popped into my head. I mean, shouldn’t two high school seniors have already done it? All of my friend’s have.
My boyfriend noticed my sudden change of expression. His joyous smirk dropped. “Hey, what’s wrong?” Steve urgently asked. I sat up with my elbows propping me up. My foot kicked one of Mews’ toys that had ended up in my room. The pink rubber ball rolled over to the other side of my room, hitting the opened doors of my closet.
“Do-do you think it’s weird that we haven’t really had sex?” I leaned my back against my bedroom wall, “All of our friends have done, and it-it makes me think we’re never going to. I don’t know. I guess…all of our friends ask if we’ve done it, as if it’s their business to know what goes on behind closed doors.” I rolled my eyes at the last bit of my statement.
Steve listened as I spoke what was on my mind. Not gonna lie, it felt good to get that off my chest given that I had kept it in for so long, which I was presently surprised by. “I don’t think it’s weird,” Steve intertwined our hands. He kissed the top of my hand and sat up beside me, his free hand resting on my leg.
“We’ll do it when we’re ready, and right now might not be that time but it will sometime,” he said, “Hell, we’re nineteen years old. We’ve got plenty of time.” I grinned at the sound of his words. Steve was always respectful and knew just what I needed to hear. “Thanks, Steve,” I kissed his cheek.
Dustin groaned in frustration as he shouted for us to hurry up with our little chat. My boyfriend ran a hand through his hair, stealing a quick glimpse at the door then back to me who sat beside him. “Shall we continue with our scheduled movie, Queen Y/N?” he spoke in a British accent, getting up from my bed with an extended hand.
“Why of course, King Steve,” I replied with the same accent.
I put my hand into his and let him lead me back to the living room. Dustin silently thanked us, reaching for the television remote that sat on the coffee table. Mews was perched on the couch behind my brother’s head which enabled her to watch through the window for any unexpected visitors.
My brother looked back at Steve and I who had settled back in. Steve’s arm went back to it’s original state, a hand resting on my thigh. He reached a hand up and pulled my top down, covering my stomach slightly, keeping a hand on my thigh.
We could tell that Dustin was still expecting a response from his awkward question just a few moments ago. “We haven’t done it, and when we do, you’ll know,” Steve confidently remarked as his eyes were fixated on the television screen.
Both Dustin and I turned to look at him, me trying to withhold my laughter while my brother’s face turned a bright shade of pink. Dustin dropped his Three Musketeers and stood up from the couch. “That’s it, I’m going to bed. We’ll finish the movie tomorrow!” Dustin yelled. He picked up our cat and rushed over to his bedroom.
Once he was gone, Steve and I burst into a fit of laughter at my brother’s flustered face. We could hear him curse at us to quiet it down. “Literal tomato. Oh my god,” Steve spoke in between fits of laughter. Ghostbusters was still playing in the background as we continued to giggle.
You weren’t the most popular person in school, many people heard your name, but, nothing major. The Hellfire club was voiced into your ear many times, you never joined, you just heard about the game they’d play.
You and Eddie began playing when you met outside the school as a pep rally started up. It seemed that the both of you preferred to stay out of the building when those events happened.
The two of you hit it off with humorous conversation filled with questions about the other’s hobbies, home-life, favorite movies, etc.
Eddie seems like an intimidating guy to several of those who won’t get to know him. To you, he’s the most gentle significant other out there. He’s got a blasting personality but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t show you unlimited sweetness.
You’ve stayed several days and nights in his trailer. Many adorable little dates have happened here, along with your first kiss with him.
The inside of his home doesn’t have the most pleasing effect to the eye, so, he makes efforts to make it presentable for you when you make your way over to him.
When he kisses you, he leans in gently while looking over your face to check off signs of hesitance or plain hints go to stop.
“you’re okay with this, right? Alright.” He asks and says with whispered caution.
His kisses are smooth and addicting, you feel his hands and the metal on his arms. It’s comforting. His being is comforting.
You knew about his work relations with drugs, you didn’t mind since he never pressured you on joining in on selling or using.
When the tragic news about what had happened to Chrissy came out and the fact that Eddie was an unspoken suspect to the public. You have never panicked so much.
Eddie may have looked like a violent person but he truly wasn’t. Unless it was for defense, he wouldn’t hurt anyone unprovoked. You knew this clear and well but others didn’t and wouldn’t wait to listen.
You went along with the others to find him and Eddie questioned as to why you were also wanting to help him.
“I know you wouldn’t do something this horrid, I’ll stick by you, no matter what they say.” Eddie smiled at your heart felt words because he was undeniably glad that he had found someone like you. So understanding and reliable.
You made deliveries of food and alcohol to his location and stayed hours and even a couple of days with him.
When the time came to venture inside the Upside Down, he wouldn’t leave your sight as you wouldn’t let him. You kept your body right next to his and made sure he was more than okay as monsters came towards the group from all directions.
This isn’t the end of the dangerous events the two of you would experience together, but no matter what was thrown at You and Eddie. The two of you were always together.
Just leaving this here, Vecna is my favorite Stranger Things villain. I genuinely did not see the twist about his identity coming.
Also, his design is so cool and he’s genuinely very creepy. I think there’s something so terrifying and sickening about a villain that targets a person based on how emotionally vulnerable they are and then using that against them.
Part of me thinks he’s even more evil than the Mind Flayer. The Mindflayer is undoubtedly evil but a villain who preys after the most vulnerable is truly horrifying.
Holy crap you guys “Dear Billy” might be one of the best episodes in this whole show!!! I cried watching it. Sadie is a phenomenal actress and the whole speech she wrote was emotional. Also, lumax is my favorite ship in the whole show, there I said it. This episode is one of the reasons why
So far, really loving the new season! Also, Eddie is my new favorite. Steve will always be my personal favorite but there’s room for Eddie too. Vecna is really cool btw
Guys, we made it! After 3 years of waiting, we made it. It’s kinda funny how time flies. I remember all the way back in 2020, getting the first teaser and some set photos but that was it. I was so excited yet impatient. Then, 2021 came around and we all were like, “is it coming out now??” But no. And when the 2022 release was announced I was like, “we have to wait til 2022?”
But now here we are folks! We did it! On the eve of Stranger Things season 4, I hope you all enjoy the new season and I hope it was worth the wait. See you all tomorrow with our first reactions!
