Based on this post by @moonstoneandmoonlightt!!

You roll your eyes as another sarcastic comment leaves Steve's mouth. He's been like this all day, and you haven't been having it.

"Yeah, okay. Another comment from the drama queen of Hawkins." You lean back in the passenger seat of his beamer, crossing your arms over your chest.

"Oh, ha ha." He scoffs, fiddling with the radio station until he finds a song he likes. You look over at your boyfriend. Even when he's being a brat, he still makes your heart completely melt.

You can't help but roll your eyes once more, though, as he gives you a quick look from the corner of his eye, his brows furrowed.

"Keep rolling your eyes and they're gonna stay like that." He mumbles.

"Asshole." You grumble back, sinking deeper into the seat. "If you keep running your mouth I'll make you put it to better use." You say sarcastically, but you don't miss the way Steve tenses up for a moment.

"Aww, did that get you flustered, Stevie?" You coo, your hand coming to his thigh. You don't even remember who snarked the other first, or what it was about. All you know is that Steve has had an attitude lately, and the two of you are both so petty.

You hear his breathing quicken, and his head thumps back against the headrest.

"Go-- get-get in the back." He tries to sound demanding, but you know you caught him off guard. "And what makes you think you're the one in control here?" You tease, trailing your hand further up his thigh.

"You get in the back." You hum. Steve listens, and you don't even know he has something up his sleeve.

"Doesn't matter who gets back here first, it'll have the same outcome." He mumbles as you crawl back there with him.

You hum softly, a surprised gasp leaving your lips when he pulls you down. He places a hand on the back of your head so that you don't hit the door, his love for you still evident despite the bratty, well, everything about him right now.

Steve's lips crash against yours, his tongue immediately sliding into your mouth with fervor. You tug on his hair, trying to take control, but the way he has you pinned against the seat, and the way his hands slide up your body to squeeze your tits, you're done for.

"Steve--" You breathe against his lips, your hands pulling at and threading through his perfect hair with soft sighs every time he squeezes your tits.

"What happened to you being in control, baby?" He hums into your mouth, a sly smirk on his face. If you weren't so damn turned on right now, maybe you'd be able to think of a comeback.

"Sh-shut up, Steve." Your voice shakes, only fueling Steve's stupid ego.

"You're adorable." He mumbles against your lips, pulling away to pull your shirt over your head, kissing down your jaw and to your neck.

"Steve, we're-- oh, fuck, babe." You whine when Steve pulls your bra down under your tits, sucking on one nipple while he thumbs at the other one.

"Look at you, baby. I've barely touched you and you're already whining. Bet you've soaked through your panties already." Steve smiles, speaking around your nipple.

"N-no... Don't be so-- so cocky." You mumble, knowing full well Steve is absolutely right.

"Oh, yeah?" He hums, trailing a hand down your body and sliding it under your jeans. He cups your pussy over your panties, smiling to himself.

"Oh, shut--" You're cut off by Steve's fingers circling your clit through the damp fabric, your head falling back and smacking slightly against the window.

"Jesus, careful." Steve rolls his eyes, his fingers pausing for a moment to make sure you're alright.

"Don't stop." You whine, causing him to laugh softly. "Just making sure you weren't concussed." He scoffs, resuming his motion. He keeps it slow. Enough to make you feel good, to get you wetter, but not enough to get you off anytime soon.

"Steve, c'mon." You whine, arching up towards him, which only pushes your tits closer to him.

"Fuckin' look at you." He whispers, dipping his fingers under your panties to sink his two middlemost ones into you.

"Steve!" You whine. Sure, his fingers are like heaven, but he knows what you want, and he knows how damn bad you want it.

"Gotta get you ready, baby. Stretch you out a little bit, first." He coos, pressing sloppy kisses against your neck.

You tug at his shirt, pulling it over his head and letting out a soft little moan that, unfortunately, Steve hears.

"Aw, you're moaning just from seeing me with my shirt off?" He hums, his tongue falling flat against your neck, licking all the way up to your jaw.

You're panting now, clenching helplessly around Steve's fingers as your hands trail down his chest, reaching down to his belt.

You quickly unbuckle it, trying to push his blue jeans and boxers down in one motion. "Someone's eager." He laughs, but his voice breaks slightly when his cock slaps against his stomach and he feels the cool air on his hot skin.

"Steve..." You pant, desperately trying to push your hips up closer to his leaking cock. "Okay, okay." He laughs, pulling his fingers out of you.

He makes a show of licking them clean, his eyes locked on yours the entire time.

You bite your lip as Steve actually unclips your bra and throws it off, then moves down to your pants. He pulls all the remaining fabric off your body, smiling as he sees the way your already puffy folds glisten in the dim moonlight.

He wraps a hand around his cock, stroking it a few times before running the pink tip through your folds. You gasp every time it catches on your clit, bucking your hips up to try and just get him to put it in.

"Not yet. Tell me you're done being a brat." He grunts, wanting to hear you say it even though he's torturing himself, too.

"You can't be serious." You groan, gripping Steve's shoulder with one hand, the other one sitting limply at your side.

"I'm one hundred percent serious." He smiles, watching your face for the satisfaction of seeing your face of disbelief.

"I'm--" You scoff, rolling your eyes at Steve. "Get it all out now." He coos, causing you to roll your eyes once again.

"I hate you." You grumble. "Love you, too." Steve hums, the stupidest, most cocky smile on his handsome face.

"I'm-- I'm done.. ugh, you're such an ass." You groan, causing Steve to slap the tip of his cock against your clit. You let out a soft whine, letting out a shaky breath before speaking. "F-fine. I'm done-- I'm done being a... a brat." You grumble, any embarrassment from before disappearing as Steve pushes his tip into you.

You let out a moan, wrapping your arms around Steve's neck and pulling him closer to you. He sucks on your neck, his hair tickling your jaw and his hands grope all over your body.

He starts at your tits, then your hips, then your ass, to your thighs, and back up to your tits as he begins to rut into you like he can't help it.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" You moan out, grabbing at his hair with one hand and his bicep with the other.

"That's it. Fuck, yeah." Steve grunts in your ear, kissing up until his lips are all over yours.

"Steeeeeve!" You whine, that coil in your belly already tightening since Steve was fingering you so good just a moment ago.

"Yeah, baby? You like that? Can feel you squeezin' me so tight." Steve hums into your mouth, pressing his entire body against yours in the way he knows you love. The way that you're able to feel every inch of skin against yours, as if you two are so close to completely merging together.

You hold him as close to yourself as you possibly can while your nails dig into his back. Steve gets rougher, his hips meeting yours in desperation with every thrust.

"Steve! Steve, oh-- Sh-shit!" You moan out, burying your face into the crook of Steve's neck. "Please, please, please, please, please." You chant out, gasping for air when he trails his hand down your body to rub at your clit.

"Don't gotta beg for anything, sweet girl." Steve murmurs against your shoulder where he's dropped his head, his hands moving down to grab your ass and lift your hips so that he hits that spot inside you that takes your breath away.

"M'so close. So close." You pant, tears of pleasure brimming your eyes as you wrap your arms around Steve's neck, nails indenting on his shoulders.

"Me too. Fuck, you're so amazing." Steve moans, kissing up your neck and finally resting his face against the skin after a moment of hot kisses.

"Oh my god!" You moan out, eyes rolling back as your orgasm hits you like a freight train. Your legs are shaking, moans spilling from your lips, back arching, and your pussy clenching deliciously around Steve's throbbing cock.

That's the push that sends Steve over with you, his muscles tensing up and his hips halting as his release paints your insides. His cock twitches inside of you as he gives shallow thrusts through both of your orgasms until the pleasure meets the line of overstimulation.

He stops his thrusts, his body going limp on top of yours as he nibbles at the skin of your neck.

Once the two of you have caught your breath, you let out a breathy laugh. "So, was the attitude just because you were horny?" You hum, letting out a soft yelp as Steve gives a nip to the spot that he knows is most sensitive.

"Maybe." He mumbles, letting out a deep sigh.

so sorry for the lack of everything, my birthday was this week so I've been busy. Thanks for reading!

need this out there for posterity’s sake

[iamnudla0]

Son, I miss you.

[dolorous-enby]

Every time when I rewatch s2 I get so maternal for Wiw that I'm almost at the verge of tears every second he's on screen.

He's saying sorry and Joyce tells him that they already talked about stopping with the sorries, he tries not to tell people about his episodes because he doesn't want to feel like a freak who needs help, he's losing weight (Owens says Will lost a couple of pounds since their last meeting), he disparages himself with the zombie boy drawing, his eye bags, his sad kitten dolorous expressions, his hollow gaze and apathetic speech at the hospital 😭😭😭

[babyboycantlifthisheadachehead]

Interesting how in S2 Mike starts out not having any quarters for the arcade and has to resort to stealing from Nancy but then has enough to shell out to call the Byers house while he’s at school 🤔

And the interesting thing is that he’s not even upset he wasted a quarter (since no one picked up) he’s more worried about Will.

@mikesbasementbeets gifs (thanks for all the work you do 💗)

[zephyrcryptid]

Characters are regressing back to season 2

This is a direct followup to PART 1 to the post "Will was possessed from the start" about Will being possessed/controled. I suggest reading it first before this one. Will isn't the only one that seems to be losing memories or acting strange and I think that some of the answers to that are in season 2.

Now let’s start where we left off, with Joyce and Will:

In s2 Will spends almost all his screen time time by his mother’s side, with Mike coming in a close second. In s3 and s4 he is a lot more independent from her. He feels smothered by her and his brother at the start of the season, and the same goes for s5. Will wants her to stop treating him like he’s made of glass and he wants to make his own decisions.

Also Joyce smokes again, something I’m pretty sure she stopped doing after s2. Joyce is regressing. Even after Will confronts her she back down when Will gets caught by Vecna.

She even wears the same clothes as in s2.

In s2 Jane is stuck, hiding from the feds in Hopper's cabin. Hopper lies and breaks his promise that he made to her that she would get to go out soon, he does it to keep Jane trapped and "safe" because he is worried that she'll get caught by the feds again. She ends up disobeying him after he breaks his promise and she goes to see her mother and Kali, she then comes back in ep8 to save Hopper and Mike.

In s5 the setup is almost the same Hopper and Jane are living in his cabin again to hide from the army, after Hopper breaks his promise to her she leaves, gets seen by the army she then finds Hop, helps him and goes to find Kali with him.

"-You promised... I go! And I never leave! Nothing ever happens! -Yeah! Nothing happens and you stay safe!

They have an argument and Hopper keeps doubling down and Lying to Jane.

"-You saw the time. I saw you look down. You have to let me go with you. -You want to find Henry so bad, don't you? So bad. Do it. Do it from the tub. Do it remotely." [...] "-The crawl is tonight, Hop. If I'm under 12:30, I can come with you. That is what you promised. -Yeah, I promised that. I promised it. But I didn't see it."

And the same things happen again in s5 Hopper has to relearn the same lesson that he has already learned years ago. Exept he doesn't, he never apologies for lying and in fact keeps lying to her about his intent to sacrifice himsef. Whereas s2 Hopper decides to be honest with her and tells her that he never should have lied about her mother or about when she could leave. Hopper is regressing too, we are repeating the same things but with a worse ending.

The point of Jane rebelling was for her to gain some independance and learning to stand up for herself, the fact that Hopper keeps lying to her in s5 undermines Jane's independance and self-determination.

Jane and Max's relation, or lack thereof, is one of the most noticeable this season. After Max wakes up she never interacts once with Jane until they meet again in Jane's mind. Now if we follow my theory and look back at s2, then these two didn't even know each other, they knew of each other but they only met right at the end and Jane was still jealous of Max so they weren't friends at all. It's only in s3 where they get closer and develop their bond.

Their relationship appears to have regressed as a way to keep them apart. Their memories doesn't seem to have been completely erased because that would probably be too noticeable, Jane still shows some concern for Max.

Nancy Jonathan and Steve are stuck in a love triangle in s2, Nancy thinks that she loves Steve but actually remains with him because it is a "safe" option for her. Murray pushes her and Jonathan together, and the end up sleeping together. Steve lets go of Nancy and she seemingly ends up in relationship with Jonathan. Edit: There's also the scene where Steve wants to bring Nancy flowers like he did in s2.

In s5 the love triangle comes back, Jonathan and Steve are both competing for Nancy despite the fact that Nancy is in a commited relationship with Jonathan. It's strange for Steve to go after a taken woman. And just like in s5 Murray is the one to push Jonathan and Nancy together in a creepy way.

Steve lets go of Nancy gain, he has regressed and has to learn the same lesson that he did back in s2. However this Time Jonathan decides to also let Nancy go and to not conform to heterormative expectations, he tells her the truth.

In s2 Jane is separated from mike for the entire season and only they meet at the end so their relationship stagnates from s1, they remain just friends. In s5 they barely interact with each other and even look like they might be broken up because they don't really act as a couple.

I've so many people state that it’s the comeback of s1 and 2 Mike, he is kind, attentive and protective of Will again. But maybe that's not a result of what happened between them in the timskip but because it literally IS s2 Mike. That’s why his relationship with will has changed, his memories were tempered with, and partially erased causing Mike's relationships to regress.

On top of everything they plan a kidnapping and a half, something typical of Vecna and that’s Will’s plan. The first one Jonathan doesn’t seem to be too on board with the idea of kidnapping a child but Joyce and Will insist. There’s orange lights everywhere in this scene and in particular behind Joyce's head.

She starts to have doubt for a moment before doubling down on the plan.

I think that the characters this season are being flayed in some capacity, something seems to be messing with their memory and maybe even influencing their actions. It's like entire months, maybe years of their lives were erased, at least partially. And it's not just that, they use mindflayer tactics like drugging and kidnapping people. And both Jonathan and Robin bring up the fact that is a dubious strategy.

Jane even forces her way into the mind of Akhers just like Vecna/Henry to steal information from him.

In the lab in s2 the mindflayer sends the demodogs after the scientists that attacked it and when Joyce sedates Will they don’t know where he is anymore allowing them to eventually escape. In s5 the demodogs keep following Lucas and Max despite the fact that Will isn’t with them and therefore doesn’t know exactly where they are. And Lucas notices it too.

Vecna probably didn't need Will at all to know where Max was and simply pretended to to break and scare him further. The fact that the demodogs were able to follow them like that implies that one or more of these characters were flayed. Or that potentially other people present in the hospital, either that or the demodogs were potentially an illusion.

Here are other parallels, some have already been pointed by other people however I want to compile the relevant ones here:

We have yet another direct callback to a scene in s2.

The reason that Suzie disappeared from the narrative might also be due to this general regression. Dustin hadn't met Suzie yet in s2 and instead Stacy makes a comeback because at the end of s2 dustin asks her for a dance and she brushes him off.

Bob comes back to haunt the narrative in the epilogue, he parallels Hopper in the dinner scene.

"-What if we were to move out of Hawkins… together? -What ? -I know. Whoa, Nellie, right? No, I just… I've been thinking about what you said. About how we've got all these memories here, and you wish you had enough money to move. Well, my parents are selling their house in Maine. There's a RadioShack nearby. I'm sure they'd take me on. We could just... [...] -It's just this… This is not a normal family. -It could be."

Bob asks Joyce if she would want to move out of Hawkins and she seems very hesitant.

"-I wish it was the sound of something different. Maybe, um, the squawk of seagulls, or, uh, waves gently lapping on the beach. -Well, that sounds nice. -Could be real. -I'm just saying there's nothing tying us down here anymore. -But you seem to think our bank account is bigger than it is. -Could be. I got a call from my buddy in the New York days. Montauk's looking for a new chief of police."

Their conversation is almost identical except that this time Joyce seems open to move out, and also Hopper might be trying to tell Joyce to listen to the radio in a coded way.

Bob also parallels Mike:

And possibly Jonathan as well.

Bob here represents "normalcy" and heteronormativity in which Mike, Joyce and Hopper are trapped in. In a conformist world Bob is the default model and it gets applied to other male characters.

That's again in s2 that Max states that she doesn't want to be like her brother, prone to anger and violent and yet that's exactly what she does in the epilogue.

There's talks about cycles with events repeating but it's not just events that are repeating like children disappearing, it's characters litarally acting the same way they did years ago, repeating the same actions and having the learn the same lessons. Maybe that's what the spores were used for in s4, maybe it was a way for the mindflayer to infect all of Hawkins to slowly modify people's memories.

Season 2 was when we were first introduced to the mindflayer, when it started to spy on the characters, it's also then that the tunnels were built and the characters use them a lot this season (something the demo-dogs did). We are reminded of their existence multiple times and Vecna tells Will directly that he built them. And it's no coincidence that Kali, who was also introduced in s2 makes her come back now. All these callbacks aren't accidental.

This might be one of the reasons for why things are so off this season, but I think that there are more than that. I think that beyond character's memories being modified/erased the way they act might be influenced by either the mindflayer or Vecna too. And there are also illusions and potentially other factors causing all these inconsistencies, hopefully we can start to detangle all of this mess.

In my next post I will talk about Mike, trauma and cycles, it will most probably be another long one. :p

[pjo-tvs-version]

Presenting to you my favourite Byler and Lumax parallels

(yet they say that one relationship is platonic and the other romantic)
