and while we're on the topic i really hate how much the female characters in this show were called a bitch. thomas calls 9 year old holly a bitch, henry calls 13 year old tina a bitch, even hopper calls kali a bitch!! the female characters in this are so underdeveloped but they love to throw that word around with so much malice
Ranking Stranger Things adults based on how homophobic they would be.
Dc Brenner/Papa: 11/10
Henry/1/Mister Whatsit: 11/10 got it from Brenner.
Lonnie(Joyce's ex husband): 11/10: Pretty sure he called Will a queer simply for being weird. I'm pretty sure he would hate crimes if he saw a gay person
Season 1 Hopper: 10/10 he's your typically American man who fought in Vietnam. I would not put it passed him to not like gay people.
Ted Wheeler: 9/10 He's your typically American dad, who barely knows where his kids are. He would either one: think it's a phase, or two: not care at all.
Neil Hargrove: 9/10, gay or not, he's still abusing his son
Karen Wheeler: 8.5/10 Probably due to her own experience, thinking she was queer, and how her parents delt with it. So bc of that if her kids were queer, she would brush it off, and say that it was just a phase. Unfortunately.
Charles Sinclair: 8/10, I feel like he would sympathies with a minority like him. But then again, he's an American man who fought in Vietnam(according to his wiki)
Susan Hargrove/Mayfrield: 6/10, she deeply cares for her children, step or not. But again, she's a traditional housewife in the 19s. So, 50/50
Sue Sinclair: 5/10 I don't know bro, she's black and a women so maybe not Idk. But just because she's Lucas' mom probably not.
Claudia Henderson: 5/10 bc we honestly don't know a lot about her as a character to really get a feel on what her beliefs would be. But I'm leaning more in that she would support the LGBT.
Current season Hopper: 0/10 if bro can accept his weird telepathic daughter, then he can very well accept a gay person.
Murray: Definitely grew up with homophobic parents. But then grew up and realized it was all bullshit and is now for the queers.
Микро комикс с Билли и Макс. Я конечно понимаю, что у Билли вероятно свои натуральные кудри, но я думаю ему ничего не мешало использовать бигуди, что бы сделать их более структурными и пышными)

Chapter 2 << Masterlist >> Chapter 4
You thought your ride there would be quiet, but of course, having Robin with you meant anything but that. You were sure Steve had talked to her about what happened between the two of you and even if you weren’t in the mood to talk about it, you were also sure Robin was dying to bring it up. You just waited to see how long it would take for her to spill it out.
So, after five minutes of silence, Robin’s voice filled the car “So, you and Steve huh? I bet you had fun last night.”
“I know you know, Robin.”
“Know what? I don’t know anything.” you sent her a sideways glance and it was all it took to break her “Fine, he told me this morning. What exactly happened?”
“You know what happened. I asked him to move in with me like I told you I would do and he freaked out for some reason.”
“Why?” you knew what Robin was doing. She was perfect at playing the psychiatrist to get all of your secrets, and you hated the fact that it always worked.
“That’s the question, why? Like, if you’re not ready, that’s fine, but don’t start acting like the mere idea of us living together is awful to you.”
“That’s how you felt?”
“Yeah… I know he didn’t mean it like that, but can’t he just communicate like a normal human being?” you voice got smaller with every confession you made.
“We’re talking about Steve here. Of course, he can’t.” she saw your face scrunching up in thought and immediately forgot about her joke “Hey. It just threw him off. I don’t know what scared him so much, but I do know that his love for you is much stronger. It’s honestly kind of annoying how obsessed he’s with you. For example, the candlelight thing he did last night? He had that idea over a month ago and he would not stop talking about every single detail he wanted to include. Also-” you sat in silence as you listened to Robin ramble on about Steve and his antics as she jumped from one point to another without trying to make sense of her narrative. It brought a small smile to your face, hearing your friend go on and on about anything and everything, a nice distraction from what’s happening around you.
It was only when you arrived at the address that she stopped talking and walked over to the rest of the group. You got out of the car and walked next to Dustin, who was handing out flashlights for all of you to see. How does he have so many of them?
You just shook your head and started looking around before walking with Dustin and Steve to the front door. You stand beside your brother as he begins ringing the doorbell once, then twice, and after getting no answer he starts pressing the button repeatedly in frustration.
“Hey, knock it off.” you hit his hand away from the bell.
“Okay. Well, that’s settled. I guess he’s not here.”
“He’s not going to come answer to anyone knocking on his door. I mean, he is a drug dealer.” you said
“Okay, so how to we get him to come out here without alerting him?”
“I don’t know.”
Right after you finished your sentence, Dustin started knocking on the door while yelling Eddie’s name “Look, we just wanna talk, okay? No cops, I swear. We just wanna help.” he knocks again “Eddie!”
“Say it louder, try telling everyone we’re here.” you told your brother sarcastically, but you accomplished nothing as he continued to do as he pleased, yelling out Eddie’s name before switching it to Rick’s.
“Don’t scream that.” Steve told him, but Dustin once again ignored everyone, his stubbornness getting the best of him.
“Rick!”
“Dustin!” you whisper-yelled his name.
“He’s not there.” Steve
“Reefer Rick!” he yelled one more time before giving up “He could just be really high…” he tried to reason with you and you just groaned, fearing your lead was getting you nowhere.
“Is that a foot?” Steve suddenly asked, pointing at something with his light.
“What?” you pushed through Dustin to take a look yourself.
“No, that’s a shoe.” Dustin said after inspecting it and before this bizarre conversation could continue, Max’s voice interrupted you.
“Hey, guys!”
You quickly walked over to her to see what had caught her attention. Before you stood a lake house, that was previously covered by the trees. The perfect place to hide, you all thought. So, you started inspecting it, Robin being the first one to poke her head inside, calling out to see if someone was here.
“Is anyone home?” she said after walking inside, you going in after her, the rest following.
The door creaked until everyone was inside as you began looking around for any clues this place could offer you.
“What a dump.” Steve said out loud as he walked in before you heard him click off his flashlight. You turned to see him on the opposite side of the boat with an oar in his hands while he began tapping the boat in front of you. It made you stop in your spot, and just watch him with furrowed brows.
“What are you doing? What are you doing?” Dustin repeated his question when Steve didn’t respond.
“He might be in here.” he responds, never stopping nudging the boat.
“So, take the tarp off.” Dustin said as if it was obvious.
“If you’re so brave, you take the tarp off.” Steve whined and carried on with his poking. You just shook your head at their behavior. At least Dustin was being cold with Steve too, not just you.
“Hey, look over here.” Max called out for you, pointing at the table in front of her. Both you and Robin stood beside her as you inspected the opened candy wraps and the empty beer bottles “Someone was here.”
“Do you think they heard us?” you questioned.
“Probably. Got spooked and ran.” Robin answered you.
“Don’t worry. Steve will get him with his oar.” Dustin joked.
“I know you think you’re being funny, Henderson, but considering everyone in this room has nearly died about a hundred times, personally, I don’t find it funny in the slight-” Steve hadn’t stop poking the oar and you ended up getting tired at both the boys’ uselessness.
“Oh my God, just take it off.” you swung off the tarp when chaos corrupted.
You yelled loudly in shock when you saw a body stand up from the boat. In surprise you pulled backward, your arms reaching out for Max and Robin to not get closer, but they weren’t the ones you had to worry about. You watched the stranger grab Steve’s body, push him into the wall with force, and place a broken beer bottle near your boyfriend’s neck. Your legs moved quickly alongside the girls, pulling you over to Dustin who kept a distance between the rest of you and Steve. Being closer to the spectacle you were able to recognize the stranger as none other than the person you were looking for, Eddie Munson.
“Eddie! It’s me. It’s Dustin. This is Steve. He’s not gonna hurt you, right, Steve?” Dustin called out for Eddie, desperately trying to calm him down before Steve quickly agreed with his younger friend. You just held your breath, your eyes never leaving Steve’s face and the bottle next to his neck.
“Steve, why don’t you drop the oar?” your brother said with a careful tone and you all watched Steve let go off the oar. But the sound it made when it hit the ground, seemed to startle Eddie and he pressed the sharp edge even further into Steve’s neck. You whimpered at the sight, your body moving forward without thinking, but Dustin stopped you “He’s cool. He’s cool.”
“I’m cool, man. I’m cool.” Steve repeated.
“What are you doing here?” Eddie finally spoke, his voice filled with fear.
“We’re looking for you.” Dustin told him.
“We’re here to help.” Robin explained.
“Eddie, these are my friends. You know Robin, from band.” your brother pointed at Robin behind him, who nervously imitated playing her instrument “This is my friend Max. The one who never wants to play D&D.” Max waved at the punk “And my sister. Y/n. You know her, I’ve told you about her.” you let out a soft hi “Eddie. We’re on your side. I swear on my mother. Our mother. Right, guys?” you nodded at Dustin’s words, the rest of the guys agreeing.
Eddie just looked at your faces for just a moment before letting go of Steve, who grunted over his relief, far away from the broken glass. At the sight you immediately moved over at Steve, not caring about Eddie, and grabbed your boyfriend’s face.
“You okay?” you moved his head to the back to see if there was any damage on his neck and let out a breath when you saw that no blood was spilled.
“I’m fine. I’m fine.” at that moment you had forgotten all about your fight and made a promise to yourself to only talk about your future once you ensured that there would be one to talk about after you figured out what the heck was happening this time.
“Eddie. We just want to talk.” Dustin had moved over at Eddie, attempting to disarm him, but Eddie flinched away “Okay.”
Eddie looked terrified, crouched down on the floor. He couldn’t look away from the ground, his hand trembling as he held on to the bottle. You weren’t sure if you were afraid of him or for him.
Robin carefully leaned down, meeting his eye level “We want to know what happened.”
Eddie shook his head, answering after his sniffles surrounded you “You won’t believe me.”
“Try us.” Max told him.
You stood before him as he started explaining what he saw. The kids were sitting in front of him, while you, Steve, and Robin were standing in the back. You hadn’t left Steve’s side as your hand grasped his arm to make sure he wouldn’t leave, that he wouldn’t get in more danger.
Eddie’s words were shocking. He explained why Chrissy had come with him to his trailer and how at some point she just lost all control over her body. He described her lifting up into the air, her bones snapping one by one. Even after all the terrible things you’ve seen, you couldn’t imagine something so horrible happening to someone.
By the time Eddie’s story ended, he was even more shaken up. He looked around at your faces and scoffed “You all think I’m crazy, right?”
“No. We don’t think you’re crazy.” your brother told him.
“Don’t bullshit me, man! I know how this sounds.”
“We’re not bullshitting you.” Max’s voice was serious.
“We believe you.” Robin tried to reassure him as well.
“Look, what I’m about to tell you might be a little… difficult to take.” Dustin said.
“Okay…”
“Do you know how people say Hawkins is… cursed? They’re not… way off. There’s another world. A world hidden beneath Hawkins. Sometimes it bleeds into ours.”
“Like ghosts and shit?” he asked, trying to understand was his little friend meant before Max answered.
“There are some things worse than ghosts.”
“These monsters from this other world… we thought they were gone. But they’ve come back before. That’s why we needed to find you.” Dustin explained to Eddie.
“If they’re back again, we need to know.” Max said and you decided to step in to see if Eddie’s incident could lead you anywhere. You already knew about the flickering lights, but any further information would be useful.
“Eddie, that night, did you see anything?”
“Dark particles, maybe?” Eddie shook his head at Max’s words.
“It would almost look like dust, swirling dust.” Dustin tried to build a picture in Eddie’s brain about what exactly you were looking for.
“No, man, there was nothing you could see or, uh… or touch. You know, I tried to wake her, man. She couldn’t move. It was like she- she was in a trance or something.” he answered you.
“Or under a spell.” Dustin said in a different tone than before, one telling you that he was onto something.
“A curse.” Eddie immediately picked up on what Dustin was saying.
“Vecna’s curse.” you closed your eyes when you realized what they were talking about. Great association by Dustin once again, you thought.
“Who’s Vecna?” Steve asked from beside you.
“An undead creature of great power.” Dustin and Eddie began explaining.
“A spell caster.”
“A dark wizard.”
Even after their descriptions Steve was still confused over Vecna, so you spoke up “A D&D character.”
Which made Dustin scoff and turn to look at you “Don’t ruin it.”
“Hey, we’re back.” Steve said as he entered the kitchen, finding you on top of the counter while you drank a glass of water.
“They got everything?”
“Yeah, change of clothes, everything they needed. Grabbed some stuff for you too, they’re in Dustin’s bag. Also told your mom and Max’s that we’re just having like a movie night/sleepover, so they wouldn’t worry.”
“Yeah, good job.”
After leaving Eddie back at the lake house, you told them that it would be best if the rest of you stayed together, to form a plan, gather information, and, also, keep everyone safe. So, you ended up in the one place with enough room and with no one else to ask questions. Steve’s house.
He had just returned from driving everyone around Hawkins to go get some stuff to spend the night at his.
You watched him take his jacket off before sighing loudly “What a day, huh?”
“You could say that again.”
Steve didn’t need to look at you for a second longer to see that you were upset. Being thrown back into the nightmare of a situation was hard for all of you, but he knew you were the most anxious one of them all. Your nightmares make it impossible for you to sleep some nights and you end up calling him to calm down. Always trying to help everyone else and not you, always trying to figure out any possible outcome, and not taking a moment for yourself.
So, when your eyes shot up to look into his and he saw how they glistened, he realized you had been crying and it broke his heart.
“Hey, we’re okay, we’re fine, right? All of us are here and okay.” he placed himself between your legs as his arms hugged your waist, pulling your body into his. Your own hands easily settled themselves around his neck while your head relaxed on his shoulder. You took a deep breath, his presence bringing you at ease.
“It can’t be the same thing again, can it?” you certainly felt like you were in denial. You knew it had to do with the Upside Down, you just hoped it would be an easier fight than the last time.
“I hope not.” his palm stroked your back in soothing circles, helping you relax.
“I just…” you pulled your head away from his shoulder to look at his face “I thought after Hopper and Billy, after their sacrifice, I thought it was finally over, and now…”
“I know.” he nodded his head, but he unfortunately didn’t know what to say to make you feel better. He knew it sucked, it was terrible and very dangerous for all of you, and he couldn’t sugarcoat that. He couldn’t hide you all away till it ended, and you all knew that the only way to get over this was with your help. No one else knew what you did and no one else could save this town than you, once again.
So, Steve just settled by placing a soft kiss on your temple before jumping on to the next topic he couldn’t stop thinking about while he drove the rest of them back “Y/n, listen, about this morning, I didn’t mean-”
“I don’t want to talk about that. I don’t care right now. I care about us- all of us.” you hugged him tighter, your face squeezed into his neck and your words getting muffled “Let’s just focus on this now, okay? We’re okay.”
Eddie thinks he can get though winter with his leather jacket and battle vest, always has always will. But when he is at Steve’s one day Steve throws him one of his winter coats demanding he puts it on in his mother hen way. Eddie puts it on, complaining it’s ruining his image but when he realised he can now go outside WITHOUT wanting to die from the cold his life is changed.
Steve ends up getting Eddie mittens, a huge scarf and a hat with ear flaps because he KNOWS Eddie feels the cold. And if it means Eddie goes around with rosy cheeks looking very cute well then everyone is a winner aren’t they?
Eddie teaches max about wrapping plastic bags around your feet to keep your socks dry if you don’t have winter boots. And how to keep the bags hidden. They give each other knowing looks when they see each other in the snow
Dustin doesn’t feel the cold. Ever. He can go around the entirety of winter in his tshirt and every time Steve sees him he slams a hat on his head and wraps him up in one of the scarves he’s knitted
Steve has also knitted Robin and Nancy one of those conjoined mittens that lets them hold hands inside the glove. They love it.
Eddie wants to make sure Steve is looked after too so whenever he stays over Eddie send him off to work with a full thermos of his hot drink of choice
Steve has a favourite pair of thick socks that he’s worn every winter and they are starting to show holes so eddie takes it upon himself to mend them with his sewing kit. He doesn’t tell Steve, just leaves them out for him one morning as Steve is heading out the door and eddie is still in bed. Steve stares at them and the newly embroidered ‘SH’ on each sock and feels warm for the rest of the day
