Stranger Things Steddie - Blog Posts

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:

YES!!!

reblog if steddie made you gayer

Nap time with their six little nuggets

Enjoying the view, Munson?

Someone on Bluesky posted about Steve being a dad wearing matching skirts/dresses with his daughter and I caved.

Eddie would have silly nicknames instead of common nicknames for their kids: butternut squash instead of pumpkin, or pecan instead of peanut, or peony instead of sweet pea.

Eddie rambles a lot and no one can change my mind.

Does it make sense all the time? No. Does Steve care? Not at all.

I made the freaks kiss.

What I imagine would happen if Kurt Kunkle ever got Eddie Munson as a passenger.

Or… modern AU where Steve works as a ride-share driver and uses the alias Kurt to off people on live. Not Eddie though.

Beach day! 🏖️

“Hey, Eddie, can you get my back?”

Sometimes I remember that they are only like 19-20 and they probably do what 19-20 year old boys do.

Steve got roped into babysitting again… he doesn’t really mind with the present company tho

Hey y’all! I’m back with a new hyperfixation. It’s Steddie. In my Steddie era.
