DEAD BOY DETECTIVES S1 + TUMBLR REACTIONS

As much as I talk about Steve and Eddie, Argyle really is my favorite character and I'm pissed he's not gonna be in s5.

This man deserves everything.

Okay, so let me see if I understand correctly:

Boys wanting to write poetry is a metaphor for boys wanting the freedom to make out in the back of old bookstores and to wear lipstick while reciting Shakespearean sonnets without having to hear the constant disapproval of others

Men running away to become pirates is a metaphor for men running away from the safe, heteronormative lives society forced them into in order to start a more genuine, albeit more dangerous, life for themselves

Nerdy teens fighting monsters together is a metaphor for teens who were once outcasted by their community for being different helping each other to confront their trauma and to become the heroes of their own stories

And women playing baseball is a metaphor for women reclaiming their femininity after spending most of their lives being told they’re “not real girls” because they don’t fit the mold the patriarchy wants them to fit into

But ultimately all of them are just metaphors for a friend group being gayer than the fucking fourth of July

WHERES THE ANGEL? YOU'RE HIM is such an insane exchange. Because It means that all the Purgatory monsters were gossiping about 1) Dean Winchester being locked in Purgatory and 2) frantically running around the monster land looking for his angel.

How embarrassing for him😭

But mostly, I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close. 

Chapter four is available to read now on AO3.

Chrissy and Eddie have been best friends since middle school, ever since that one misguided kiss led to them coming out to each other in a panic. In order to shield themselves from the town’s homophobia, they promised that they’ll help each other find love; and that they won’t date until the other one does. Now, four years later, Robin finds out about their deal and in an attempt to shoot her shot with Chrissy, convinces Steve to take Eddie out on a date. The problem is Steve thinks he’s straight and Eddie hates him.

Or

A fic based on 10 Things I Hate About You, where the last thing that happened with the Upside Down was Starcourt (but Billy was never involved) and Eddie, Chrissy, Robin and Steve are trying to navigate their senior year and maybe, hopefully find love.

Chapter Synopsis

Chrissy and Robin do some investigating, determined to help Steve become more appealing to Eddie - even if it means bending a few rules. Steve goes through a makeover, and gets pushed out of his comfort zone in more ways than one. Between charged encounters and simmering tensions, Steve is confronted with realizations he’s having a harder time dismissing.

It's Tuesday night. Physically I am at home, mentally I am at The Hideout being the 6th drunk watching Corroded Coffin.

okay i've seen a lot of "eddie is the only one who doesn't treat steve like an idiot" discourse recently so allow me to take that and RAISE YOU

steve trying to quote that passage from sherlock holmes and instead of looking at him like he has three heads for getting it wrong eddie is just like "oh do you mean [corrected quote]? I didn't know you were a fan of sir conan doyle!"

steve: um i haven't actually read anything by him i just heard that quote from... someone and i thought it sounded cool. guess i screwed it up though huh

eddie: oh. dude. you gotta read sherlock holmes. you'll love it! *goes off on a rambly tangent that actually gets steve excited to read something for once in his life*

of course steve has to deal with the fact that he was never the strongest reader, and that was BEFORE all the head trauma, but he figures eddie doesn't need to know that just yet

How I sound defending my favorite character

what if they kept swapping clothes

ITS SO CUTE WTH ✨✨
