do you have any eddie munson headcanons?
of course I do I’m glad you asked (: here’s some random eddie munson headcanons:
Him and Dustin have an elaborate special handshake which definitely includes an air guitar at the end 🥲
He’s always misplacing stuff, that’s why he made his guitar pick necklace so he’d stop losing them all and not have to keep getting new ones
He gives Max rides to school sometimes, which means she’s banging on his door first thing in the morning to make him wake up on time
He learns how to do decent stick-and-poke tattoos, we know he’s a pretty good artist. Dustin wants a matching D&D themed one with him but Steve forbids it, Eddie secretly promises him he’ll do it when he turns 16
He has more respect for “the balls in laundry baskets game” after Lucas challenged him to make a single shot and Eddie lost badly
He’s a touchy person with his friends, more so with his guy friends. Like we saw him love-tackling Dustin and basically forgetting that personal space was a thing with Steve, I just think he’s super tactile. He gives the biggest bear hugs and he likes play fighting.
He thrifts. Like a lot. Some things he’ll spend his last dime on, like expensive guitars and band patches, but the rest he thrifts. Him and Robin go thrifting together.
Every year for his uncle’s birthday, Eddie gets him a hat and a mug because he clearly collects them or something
I’d love if Eddie didn’t have two shitty birth parents so as sad as it is, I want to say his mom died and didn’t just neglect / abandon him like his dad
From there, I want to say he got his love for music from his mom, but she wasn’t a total metalhead. There were several guitars in Eddie’s room, one of them was acoustic, so I’m gonna say that was his mom’s and the first one he learned to play because I want to and nobody can stop me
He’s not shy at all about eye contact, that’s canon, we saw the way he used and abused the power of those big brown doe eyes
Him and Erica get into heated D&D debates that no one understands but them
He puts on mini concerts in the trailer park
His favorite snack is roasting marshmallows with his cigarette lighter
He always invites everyone to his shows, he’s the happiest when Steve brings Dustin and all the kids and they hang out after
