another random imagine cause my brain won't leave me alone
eddie walking into family video after the vecna shit going to rent a movie. steve and robin are both at the counter looking extra bored. he picks the movie and goes to robin to check it out. it's rocky horror. robin looks at it, then looks at him and cautiously asks him a question. eddie looks surprised but answers. they both start talking excitedly while steve just stares, confused and not understanding a single word they say. asks something along the lines "you didn't know each other few weeks ago how do you already have a secret language?!" both of them just laugh at him.
they were speaking polari.
#LOOK I KNOW THERES A FUCKTON OF ISSUES WITH THIS#like eddie being alive#and the fact that two kids from an american small town wouldn't know polari#it's so out of the realm of possibilities but let me have it#i don't know a single sentence in polari so i didn't write what they were saying#but like.. you get it right??#robin and eddie gay solidarity#robin buckley#eddie munson#steddie#like eventually#steve harrington#stranger things#imagine#polari#someone could write this..#i had a monster 3hrs ago and now i cant fall asleep so my brain is going brrrr#IT'S 2AM#and i fucked up the wording on one tag but i'm on my phone so i can't go back and fix it#a footnote: polari is a language created by gay people so they could talk about gay shit in public#i think it was used mainly in england#now it's a dead language#it's really interesting and i knew wayyy more about it but i can't remember shit rn#i'm not even sure if it was still used in the 80s
