When Steve gets trapped in the Upside Down, Vecna offers him a deal: become lieutenant of the monster armies and gain some of Vecna’s power, in exchange for being the bait to lure his friends back to rescue him. Steve takes the deal, believing wholeheartedly in the Party’s ability to save him and finally kill Vecna, but discovers quickly that his power to infiltrate the memories and dreams of people in the real world is very limited; in fact, he can only visit one person in his new monster form.

Thus begins Steve’s haunting of Eddie Munson, who, coincidentally, has been in love with Steve since they started secretly hooking up after a Halloween party in 1984.

Or: Steve is Kas, and also Eddie's secret boyfriend.

Controversial opinion but I do not think Dev Patel would be a good Heathcliff. His aura is too friendly. His vibes are too fresh. He is a great actor but he can’t control the fact he has the sweetest eyes I have ever seen on a human being. It was what made him an excellent Gawain, even when his character was being awful, his natural charisma made him impossible to truly despise. We need a true embittered brooder for Heathcliff.

#I still maintain he would be the Jonathan Harker of all time though

He just looks like he wants to sell some real estate, incredibly naively.

And I would have no idea that there were evil Russians beneath our feet, and I would be happily slinging ice cream with some other schmuck. Gotta say, though, I liked being your schmuck.
