Nobody asked for my opinion, so I’ll give it to you guys anyways, because I have ideas I need to get out.
Headcanons, about Steve Harrington, because yeah.
Firstly, I don’t think we ever got an official birthdate for this guy, so I came up with one, and if it’s wrong fuck you/j This man is a Libra. Libra Libra Libra. Why? (Bc I’m a Libra) Because I mean, just look at him. He’s a Libra. His birthday is September 24, 1966.
And his full name? I’m pretty sure his father’s name is Daniel, and I’ve seen people give him that as a middle name, but no. It’s like something totally embarrassing, because it was his grandfather’s or great grandfather’s name.
Stephen Bernard Harrington. Also, I like this better bc it’s funny. I can imagine Dustin finding that out one day, and looking at him, and then back to his driver’s license, and going, ‘Your middle name is fucking *Bernard*? Are you kidding me?’ And then proceeding to laugh hysterically for about thirty minutes about it, while Steve’s just red faced and all huffy.
This man— After he becomes a teacher, becomes a health freak for awhile. Why? Nobody knows, but he starts working out more, and eating a little obsessively healthily. He also did that in eighth grade before high school. He does it every few years before getting destructive and drinking/smoking or doing it occasionally.
This guy had the most fucked up teeth as a kid, and you cannot convince me otherwise. Something about him to me screams, ‘I had braces as a child,’ and— I’m not talking a mild case either- I mean this guy had them from ages 9 to 15, in the middle of freshman year. WILDY crooked, over-crowded, over bite/open bite. (Also why I think he is partly so protective over Dustin. His weren’t anywhere near as bad, sure, but he kind of gets it.)
Light sleeper. He’s the kind of guy that naturally wakes up early, around six in the morning, drinks coffee and then goes on a run. Any little noise wakes him up, and then keeps him up if it doesn’t stop, immediately. A dog barking in the neighborhood? He won’t be able to close his eyes again if he hears it. He can’t handle snoring, like at all.
He’s afraid of large animals. Especially after the whole, ‘Upside Down,’ monsters. Any dog bigger than a medium sized dog, will make him all… Jumpy. The first time he saw a Great Dane after 1987? Oh, it was almost funny how freaking scared he was acting.
Steve, really likes puppets. He can appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making them, and he’s secretly always admired the craft. He’s actually very good at drawing, I’d like to think. He just never pursued it because his father said it was a waste of time.
This man is hot all the time. He’s a naturally, sweaty little hot box of a man. He’s wears sweaters all the time, sure. It’s to hide the fact he sweats through his undershirts. He’ll get up from sitting for a few minutes and his ass is damp from sweat. At home? He never wears a freaking shirt because he just, runs hot. All the time.
When he was a kid, think around the first 9 years of his life, he was a huge Momma’s boy, until his father began cheating on her. Mrs. Harrington would bring Steve everywhere and anywhere. Salon, stores, clubs, literally you name it, Steve was there with his Momma.
It takes convincing from Dustin and Robin, but eventually, Steve gets over his weird thing with animals and cats— This guy also has a strong hatred and fear of cats. But he gets over it. And, once he does, he absolutely falls in love with cats. And then, from that point on, Steve starts… Collecting them. Yes, like an old woman. He gets his six little, (feline,) nuggets. And they’re all from the street too. Caught by Steve himself.
Also, this guy is def HOH after all the times he’s been knocked around in the head. It actually began when he turned 19, but his parents, (father,) didn’t believe him, so they ignored it. Steve had to get hearing aids at age 23. And by the time he was 25 he had them in both ears. He also began to have his vision get messed up by then too, because of all the head trauma.
I mean, have you seen the way he looks at Eddie? How he interacted with him? That guy was the most— Smitten kitten near Eddie. I mean who the heck looks at a man, like that, when he’s telling him to go back to Nancy? He was def head over heels for Eddie.
Plus Eddie was like- The male version of Robin and Nancy combined. Smart, funny, a little awkward. And the big brown hair and pretty lashes— Dude absolutely adored him
