Sleazy!talkshowhost!steve??? TELL ME MORE.
cracks my knuckles to tell you about Himb....
sleazy!talkshow host!steve who wasn't always sleazy, he signed up for a theater class at community college at robin's request, only to get fucking picked up by a broadcast promoter who was looking for a cute no-name personality with a pretty face (and ofc flattery works with steve, imagine being 22 years old and told you have the makings of the next hollywood heartthrob). and then when it turns out that women love him fish fear him and guys want to be him, and he takes well to media training, he gets the job!! as the hot young host of the new talk show Ins and Outs, on an MTV-affiliated channel!!
Ins and Outs premieres in early 1990, with its first guest star being Kylie Minogue- and Steve Harrington quickly becomes a household name for his wit and his adorable golden retriever personality! Robin is ultra proud. Eddie is insanely jealous. He dates models, signs deals to host awards ceremonies and is featured in each Sexiest Man of the Year magazine between the years 1990-95.
But Steve has always had an ego, and the odds of him retaining his small town charm with that amount of success and stardom is a million to zero; in 1995 at age 28, Steve is the hottest talk show host in hollywood and absolute Fuckboy Supreme. he falls out of touch with the Hawkins gang as his fame climbs higher. He's photographed entering a party with one B-List celebrity on his arm, and leaving three hours later with another. He gets mixed reviews in social circles; to some, he's the nicest guy you'll ever meet. To others, he smiles real big but there's nothing genuine behind his eyes, he comes off like a condescending ass.
Honestly, both are true. Steve can be sweet, and pleasant, and talk a good game. He's a wizard at seducing people, and he knows just how to spin his words so that he says a lot but doesn't tell you much. because, after years of being jaded by Hollywood, Steve is gonna be damned if anyone gets to see the Steve Harrington who babysat kids and worked at Scoops Ahoy ever again.
That is, until you show up as a guest on Ins and Outs. You're "fresh meat" as far as hollywood is concerned, a rising star the likes of Pam Anderson who's just gotten their breakout role in a prime time tv series. You're excited to be here, but... you see right through Steve's veneer from the first word.
And Steve fucking hates it.
The sleazy talkshow host!Steve is so interesting but also nooooo the Hawkins gang D:
i know :(( Robin definitely takes it harder than the rest of the group bc she continues trying to contact him well after he took off, but he eventually can't be reached.
but I like to imagine that in this au corroded coffin does become a big name rock band in the mid-90s, so i'm imagining Eddie showing up for rehearsal for their guest musician appearance on Steve's show and just. fuckin decking the shit out of Steve at first glance. just knuckles straight to the chin. "That was for Robin you piece of shit!"
steve doesn't say anything bc underneath it all he's still our stevie :'((( he just forgot is all
How sleazy are we talking with this talkshow host!Steve???
mmmmmm serial dater, back on his King Steve shit, slightly mean and condescending, possibly did coke off of someone's tits before coming on stage, definitely gonna proposition starlet!reader for a blowjob later kind of sleazy
oh my GOD someone talk to me about sleazy!talkshow host!steve rn rn rn
