Steve Harrington I ST
No direct spoilers, just a general warning.
Many thanks, @grummelwau, for the inspiration, based on the question of what I had in mind for Steve’s future. A few headcanons solidified as a result, and I’ll summarize them briefly.
If Steve survives, if they manage to save the world in the SL together with Billy, then I could imagine Steve becoming a paranormal investigator. A bit like Supernatural, a bit like Scooby-Doo. The latter has even been jokingly discussed in the Stranger Things community. Steve as Fred fits surprisingly well… Eddie as Shaggy… Selma as Dustin… and Daphne would work as Nancy, but also as Billy (xD).
It’s meant to be something serious, not pure comedy. But I like mixing seriousness with a few moments of humor, and that suits Steve particularly well.
As for love, that will develop however it develops. It can happen quickly, it can take a long time, it can happen fast and still drag on before becoming official, and so on. I can’t plan that kind of thing. and somehow I really like that.
I’ve also come up with some ideas for @Eddie Munson. He’ll probably play a rather small role, at least that’s what I’m thinking right now. I imagine him having to live with that often-shared demo-vampire bat variant among ST fans, but I want to make it more serious, more grounded, make it logical.
