How I imagine Steve and Robin would reply to bad reviews about scoops

[sandysfantasy]

mike: "and.. will is amazing. he makes me feel amazing, he's pretty much everything i've ever wanted. everything i'd wanted to see in el.. y'know? sometimes.. sometimes, i wish will was a girl."

max: "you're allowed to want him, mike."

mike: "what?"

max: "you heard what i said. he doesn't have to be a girl for you to love him that way."

mike: "but.. will's a boy?"

max: "mike."

mike: "...oh."

max: "yes, 'oh', you idiot. wheeler finally formed a thought."

Steve and his interactions with the gang wouldve been so fucking funny from Eddie’s outsider perspective, in like an AU where the upside down ended in s3 or whatever.

Eddie knows Steve literally just by the rumor mill. Last he heard he was a Peaked In High School Loser but otherwise a pretty normal fucking guy.

So why tf is any interaction he has with him now so fucking insane?? Literally, every interaction can’t just be normal. And he finds himself interacting with him way more thanks to the new hellfire freshies.

Just from what he can gather from them, he knows that:

Steve has a nail studded bat and has used it (on what?? On who??)

that he got it from Jonathan (that one guy his ex cheated on him with?? That Jonathan?? Why did Jonathan have it in the first place?)

And is dating that one lesbian that’s in band, not that anyone knows that but when Dustin pointed her out (like “oh yeah thats Robin she’s so cool Eddie! She and steve are definitely probably secretly dating—Hey Robin! Hey!! Rob—aaand she’s ignoring me…”) Eddie only needed a brief glance to clock her gay ass.

And like what’s the story there? Why is a gay band geek dating a washed up jock? Is she that far in the closet? Fuck, does she even know she’s gay? Whatever, that’s not his mess to clean up.

Except they’re definitely dating cuz one time Eddie went to family video and got jumped scared by Steve being there in the first place (jesus is this guy just everywhere now?) and the way He and this Robin girl work around in each others space and don’t even need to complete sentences to communicate is some fucking weird shit.

And there’s something there between them that makes you feel like you’re interrupting whatever they have going on by checking out a video in the first place. Like Eddie daring to be there on a Saturday evening is the biggest inconvenience to them.

But they can’t actually be dating, he saw that Robin has literal boobs drawn on her chucks.

Eddie can’t figure them out but he’s invested in this storyline now.

One time, he got threatened by Steve cuz he heard Mike say that he wanted a tattoo and that Eddie said knew a guy who didn’t care enough to card him (which he did say that but he wasn’t actually gonna take wheeler to get a fucking tattoo). He cornered Eddie in the gas station while he refilling his tank, and said “if you ever fucking dared to sneak Mike out to get a stupid ass tattoo I’m telling Nancy so she could shoot your fucking toe off with her gun” all while struggling to open a bag of Twislers with his meaty jock hands that obliterated any intimidation tactic he was trying to pull off.

Breezing past that Steve, his ex, and his Ex’s little brother are apparently hanging around in the same circles: Her gun? With her gun? Does Nancy fucking Wheeler just have a gun lying around? The girl that wears pink cashmere cardigans?

Did Steve really just threaten to snitch to Mikes big sister on him? Does that even count as a threat?

Eddie told him “woah, wasn’t even planning on it” only for him to menacingly point a Twisler in his face making Eddie put his hands up like he was actually being held at gun point. By a Twisler.

“You better fucking not.”

What is that guy’s problem?

And Eddie swears he overheard Mike talking to Dustin last weekend about Hopper (Chief Hopper? The guy that DIED last summer?) thinking about flying out to California to visit El (which Eddie can only assume is the same El as ‘Mike’s girlfriend El’) once he manages to secure his “new identity”.

To which Dustin replies “If Hopper gets married to Joyce and El becomes Will’s step sister, would it be weird if you and Nancy keep dating El and Jonathan? Cuz siblings dating siblings is pretty fucking weird, man.”

What the fuck.

“Shut up, Dustin. It’s not like El is blood related to Hopper—thank god—she was raised in lab, it doesn’t count.”

Raised in a what?

steve and robins friendship is so special to me because I find the fact that he instantly accepted her when she came out to him (in the mid 80s when homophobia was rampant and she didn't know how he was going to react) shows his true character. like yes we know he's had this whole journey of becoming a better person after nancy broke up with him and we know that he's matured, but robin was so vulnerable in that moment so the fact that he pushed his own feelings aside and went "okay, I like being around this girl and her company makes me a better person, so what does her liking girls matter to me?" and just moved on. like idk, I find that really wholesome in the grand scheme of things.

I’m not crying, you are

im sorry but hopper should have died in season 3, we cut out joyce's side quest in season 4 to russia, cut out murray altogether, focus on the byers once again and delve into their dynamic with el, and free up so much more screen time to delve into jonathan's impact role of an over parentified sibling, the mirroring between willel actually being explored and how joyce and el go over el's clear lack of maternal figure and hell we can even throw an actual properly developed love triangle in there
