Yes, the Build a Bear obsession is still obsessioning, and today I have a number of Steves to share with you 😄 🐻
First up, Upside Down Steve. I can still remember my joy when I realised I could swap out Eddie and Steve's clothes and make a shirtless, barefoot (bearfoot? *groan*) Steve 'fit. I can't find grey trousers anywhere, so tattered light wash denim will have to do. I even found a little torch in my charms stash, so behold, UD Steve 🫲🫱
Next, Preppy Steve. We all remember him from S1, and even if he was a little bit of a d!ck he still had his own style.
Finally (for the time being, did you spot the 'pt 1' up there? 😜), Christmas Steve. I couldn't resist the ST sweater when I saw it last year, and I thoroughly enjoyed pairing it with Steve's preppy polo and his chinos to recreate this stylistically-iconic moment.
BTS and detail shots below the cut!
Professional secrets revealed: Preppy Steve's outfit was way too loose, so I got creative. How do they make too-big garments fit models mid-photoshoot? Like this, of course! (This is absolutely true - don't believe what the pictures tell you kids, you're all beautiful 😘🥰)
Some detail shots for those that love them. Steve from the rear (puffy tail and all), a closeup of his tiny torch ☺️, and a closer look at the detail on that Demogorgon sweater (I particularly like the fairy lights and the tiny bear silhouettes near the bottom row). And yes, I am a 'Eddie would love Led Zeppelin' truther 😅
I really hope you enjoy these. Let me know if you have any guesses as to what 'fits might be in pt 2, and who you want to see next! 😃

Tried drawing our favourite pretty boy while listening to uh well (it was, in this order: Maya’s ep, Joe’s new album and then DKMH. No idea where it was where I started with this one tho) made him as preppy as I could because I can.
Billy shows up in season one before Steve woos Nancy. slutty preppy Season1 Steve deciding to go after Billy and billy is floored by Steve. Billy is somehow unable to being his seductively smooth self in the face of S1 Steve blatantly trying to get into his pants. The thought of Billy being completely at the mercy of flirty preppy Steve who is shameless about wanting Billy’s D is a hilarious image am I right? Bonus, Tommy and Carol calling it and making bets Tommy for it Carol not. (Tommy wins.)
Nonny how do you know the way to my heart so well???
I accept all of this Billy Hargrove who came into the school looking to overthrown the big jock in charge and instead found this preppy kid in soft pastel colors. He had to take five.
BUT I DON'T THINK BILLY HAS ONE UNSMOOTH BONE IN HIS BODY like he has all of the thirst for Steve and 100% will be at Steve's mercy but Steve has finally met his match and they are both stupid together.
And finally Tommy can retire from his attack dog status lmao
