#also eddie munson is such a greek gods gay i cant even begin to explain

[domsaysstuff]

I love the trope of Eddie knowing he's meant to die in the upside down, i love him being aware of his own doom by the narrative, I eat this shit up everytime but I've been thinking a lot about greek mythology and steddie and what if it was reversed?

What if Eddie, well versed in greek mythology, in the tropes and myths and tragedies looks at the always the hero Steve Harrington and sinks with the impending thought of heros don't get happy ending?

What if Eddie says "we're not heros" and means we're not going to die like ones, he means only heros die

What if Eddie says "Steve" and means please don't be a hero, please don't let it be a tragedy, please be just Steve

What if when the bats come he comes to the realization there needs to be a hero in this story and there needs to be an ending worthy of one and deciding it can't be Steve?

What if his sacrifice is not an impending looming thing on the narrative of his life but a choice? What if- what's then huh?
