Steddie thought of the day…!:
Steve’s been… sad… to put it lightly… and Eddie can tell immediately that something’s up… but Steve being Steve, he pushes it all down and pretends everything’s okay!! But that won’t slide with Eddie… he’s gonna take care of his baby! +
Then finally in the bedroom… Eddie gets him comfy in all his clothes and lays Steve down… telling Steve how perfect he’s been all day for Eddie… how much Eddie loves taking care of him…! Gently massaging small parts of his body till Steve’s slowly drifting off…! !!!
@steviehchrist Ouhhhh heavy on the holiday cards… Steve dreading doing them, let alone looking at past holiday cards :’) you can see with each year his parents looking more miserable… Steve straight up zoning out in all of them past a certain age…
Thinking about Steve growing up just… not really caring about the holidays…? Like to him it’s mostly just another boring old day… it started when he was really young… his dad suddenly not showing up for thanksgiving or Christmas… his mother telling him that work picked up+
@steviehchrist I’ll be forever pissed that they teased us with 2 seconds of Danny Harrington AND FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! Why even give him an appearance atp….
Still thinking about how steve didn’t get SHIT in terms of backstory :/ I’ll forever mourn the fact that he didn’t get a book for some reason :’) WHY DOES HOPPER GET A FUCKING BOOK BUT STEVE DOESNT GAHHHHHHHH
Steve not being able to handle strong smells after all the head trauma.
Christmas mainly being mint associated with the candy canes and shit so Steve has to avoid heavily decorated spots. His own house is more Fir trees and Cinnamon smells. +
Steve knew early on not to ask about it either. It always ended up with him being scolded and sent to his room… so why bother? He doesn’t really need them anyways…
So his father had to travel and couldn’t be there… but after his father decided to cheat on his mother well… suddenly SHE wasn’t there for the holidays either… but they always ALWAYS set up the happy family facade… decorating to the nines… big holiday buisness parties…+
@steviehchrist Like it’s SO obvious they had no idea what to do with Steve after deciding to keep his character on the show lmao, his character development could have been so much better ;-;
