Ah Shoot Ur Right My Bad

ok so let’s do some analysis. we all know season one steve is kinda characterized as an fboy, but season four season steve is general considered to be more of a gentleman and a mother figure. hence, option one would make the most sense.

HOWEVER, there’s the obvious tension between eddie and steve. (and okayyyy maybeeee im a little biased cuz i ship them). steve is also not super physically close with people.

we only see him being physically close with people who he is implied to be romantically involved with.

clearly, we see a lot of physical intimacy between steve and nancy. there is also physical closeness between steve and robin, hinting at steve’s (brief) romantic feelings for robin. beyond that, robin is a far more physically affectionate character than steve and is more casual about physical touch, which is part of the reason we see a physical closeness between the two.

beyond that, we don’t see steve having close physical interactions with other characters. yes, he hugs dustin and whatnot, but this is displayed in a sort of parental light, so it doesn’t align with the qualifications of the intimacy between steve and potential romantic interests.

yet steve has a LOT of physically close interactions with eddie, and in only one season. eddie, much like robin, is displayed to be a bit more casual about this sort of closeness, but the sheer quantity of times steve and eddie are shown close to one another is beyond notable.

the obvious images, of course, but also the following:

which parallels…..

not to mention:

okie well that’s what i got for yall. to all the steddie haters: i hope this expands ur perspective. steddie fans: i hope this helps you feel more joy and hope.

that’s my argument for #2 btw.

Everyone knows the age old question: where is Steve’s hand?

Well I have a proposition or two:

me when i love someone’s daughter

fish i don’t have the attention span to read that and im not even a goldfish. what is happening in ur head.

my ex girlfriend is still gorgeous and brilliant and amazing but she also still lives SO FUCKING FAR AWAY.

they love me for my patient listening skills and scathing commentary.

family lore is insane because it ranges from “dang can’t believe my older cousin sam dropped out of college” to “what do you MEAN aunt jackie was involved in the irish MAFIA???”

i have herbbs in my hair

when shit is so downhill that you have to put yourself in the soup

have both girl and guy friends is wild because i walked out of a conversation about swords and into a conversation about armpit hair. now try and guess who was talking about what.

love when my pinterest just absolutely decks me with something painfully relatable

she’s a ten but she collects old thrifted dolls that look haunted and loves horror movies.
