If it makes you feel any better, having those things isn’t all that great. Seriously. It just baffles me. Everything that people tell you is important, everything that people say you should care about, it’s all just… bullshit. But I guess you gotta mess up to figure things out, right?

Steve and Nancy had caved.
It had a been a few months since Nancy and Jonathan had broken up, agreeing they were better as friends and wanted different things in life. Since then the kids had pestered them to no end to try dating again, claiming they were more mature now and "perfect for each other".
So here they were at the diner, they'd gone to the movies and very respectfully just held hands through the movie. It was fun, they liked hanging out together, they had become good friends over the years which is why the kids wanted them to be together again, Dustin was particularly enthusiastic, Mike of course was not.
Steve drove her home, let her pick the tunes, chatted about the movie. It was a normal date, and a normal date only ended one way. Steve pulled up to the Wheeler house and Nancy turned towards him.
"So."
"So?"
They laughed, this was it they guessed, they leaned in towards each other.
"Wait!" They said together, blinking wide eyes open.
"I'm sorry, Nancy, I can't do this."
"No, no I can't do this either."
"Robin?"
"Eddie?"
"Yeah," they said smiling.
Steve smiled to himself as he drove to the trailer park after helping Nancy up to Robin's window.
Mike regretted complaining about Steve dating Nancy when he showed up to the next Hellfire meeting with Steve in Eddie's lap.

if s4 st*ncy was tortorous to watch, imagine how bad it must have been for natalia dyer #1 ronance shipper and girlfriend of charlie heaton/actor of jonathan byers to act out. esp knowing that it would lead to her having to sit through more love triangle questions. like free my girl from the st*ncy shackles, she did nothing wrong! like this is a dire (dyer) situation!!! free her now!!!!!!!

→ Steve and Nancy go together to a place where teenagers have fun and pretend to be "stupid teenagers", pretend everything is okay and "they're in love"... Nancy loses control of herself and ends up with her dress being stained and the relationship between them is put to the test when they fight about saying I love you to each other and if they mean it... They are separated until the end of the season but we find out Nancy doesn't love Steve, she only likes him... Then after a while they have a talk where we find out Steve is idealizing Nancy and after years still thinks she's the one for him even if they have very different ideas about their ideal life together and we know for a fact Steve felt/feels dumb compared to Nancy

→ Mike and El go together to a place where teenagers have fun and they are pretending that everything is okay between them and they are being stupid teenagers in love having fun... El ends up with her dress being stained and loses control of herself... Their relationship is put to the test and the day after they have a fight about saying I love you to each other and if they mean it... They are separated for the rest of the season until the end... We know Mike feels inferior compared to El and he's idealizing her as a superhero
Why would they copy paste this if mlv is not going to break up next season??????????

Steve and Nancy trying to date again and it's horrendous. They end up in weird arguments that aren't arguments because Steve thinks he needs to make it work and Nancy doesn't want to hurt his feelings. It gets very passive aggressive.
They barely last a month and it's only cut off so soon because Robin keeps telling both of them how it is; they're not good together, it was worth a shot, sure, but they shouldn't be forcing it like they are.
Also because she keeps slapping Eddie with a rolled up magazine whenever Steve has a sad day post non-argument and pestering him to at least hang out with Steve more, if he's not gonna make a move.
It's hanging out with Eddie more that makes Steve fully realize that, ok, he's not just "a little" bi. And he talks to Nancy, which triggers realizations for her too.

This is going to be ranty and I've touched on this subject before. So if you're a Steve worshipper look away. For the record, I love his character but I cannot stand the constant mischaracterization of him. It turns him into a joke. He's not a mom and the comparison is frankly sexist not to mention shows how much people are willing to overlook with regard to his character. Joyce does triple the amount of work and is an actual mom, so if you want to praise someone for being a mom look to the real one. Instead she gets practically ignored by the fandom. Steve does the bare minimum compared to a lot of people and gets worshipped, and the result of this is that people end up turning him into a 1 dimensional version of himself. He has flaws and it's important to acknowledge them. He's far more interesting and relatable this way. Without doing that he gets turned into a god-like figure who is infallible. But the worst of this is the constant erasure of Jonathan. I keep seeing posts saying that Steve would be such an amazing mentor to Will and how wonderful their relationship will be next season. Be for fucking real. They don't have a relationship and never will and Will doesn't need him. Not to mention the fact that Steve isn't a mentor. He is a peer. And only to Dustin, Lucas, Max, and Erica who are the only kids who are shown to have any kind of relationship with him. And honestly Dustin is the only one that isn't superficial. It's especially notable in the case of Mike that they never developed a relationship. It shows that not only are Mike and Nancy not that close, but her ex-boyfriend never bonded with him. Mike tends to respond to Steve with the same contempt he has for his father in the brief moments we've seen between the two.
It's Jonathan who is an ally to Will. It's Jonathan Will and Mike trust. It's Jonathan Mike has known since he was 5. And it's Jonathan who has constantly protected them. Neither one of them have a relationship with Steve. All of these characters have been on the show since the beginning. If Steve had a major impact on any of their lives they would have shown it by now. And yes, Steve is no longer the bullying asshole he once was. He has gone through a great character arch that has shown him growing and changing in a realistic way. However, he still has a lot to learn and this was demonstrated through his shitty advice to Robin early in the season. Him dismissing her fears of asking Vickie out was not ok and shows he doesn't fully understand her point of view. Just because he ended up being right at the end doesn't excuse the fact that he told her to just ask Vickie out simply because she paused a movie at a certain time. He could have very easily been wrong and it was valid that she was hesitant.
Steve used to bully people for being gay, and again, it's good that he doesn't do this anymore and has grown. But this is the version of Steve that Will, Mike, and Jonathan know. They know the version of him that called Jonathan the f word and said his brother deserved to die. They know the version of him that said their abusive father was right. Mike and Will are not coming out to Steve.
In fact, people should expect them to be afraid of him and expect Jonathan to immediately be on guard and protective. Because this is the only version of him they know. Steve was known around town for being a bully and he still has this reputation - Eddie says this season he is surprised Steve wasn't an asshole even though Dustin insisted.
Mike and Will are two scared kids who live in a town that behaves the way Steve used to. They expect this kind of reaction. It's Jonathan's calm, empathetic support they need. It isn't the guy who used to be homophobic - and honestly has no patience for the kids - to help them out. Quiet, sensitive Will does not need someone loud and impatient who used to act like his abusive father in his life. And it's not on Mike and Will to absolve Steve of his past crimes.
And I absolutely cannot stand all the headcanons that I see of how Steve is going to start a LGBTQ support group around Hawkins for Robin and Will. It's utterly ridiculous. We absolutely do need Robin bonding with Will (and Mike and Vickie) but there is honestly no excuse for the constant insertion of Steve into this narrative. It is not a place he belongs. As an ally, it's important for him to recognize there are spaces that aren't for him. They do not need his permission or approval to talk to each other.
And bonding with Robin does not automatically come with a close bond with Steve. It isn't required. She is her own separate person who has her own separate experiences that Steve does not always need to be apart of just because they are friends. It's far more impactful to see a moment between Will and Robin (including with Mike and Vickie) without Steve randomly being there saying pointless shit. And they aren't wasting a moving coming out moment with Steve and Mike and Will instead of with people they are actually close to. Inserting him into this narrative changes the focus from the LGBTQ character to Steve. It makes it entirely about him and his response instead of them. In fact it's not outside of the realm of possibility that he just never finds out or it's a very quick moment that happens in passing. But erasing his characters actual role on the show completely misses the point of why he's still in this narrative. The cool guy isn't the focus of this story for once. It's not his story. That doesn't mean he isn't important. It means that for once the straight, white dude who's conventionally attractive is taking a backseat and not only that, but he's not resentful about this. He doesn't act bitter that he isn't the focus. And this is such an important role to see.

sometimes i think about this sign. i think about how nancy wasn't even allowed to feel anger about it for more than part of an episode, before the plot moved onto jonathan getting beat up and nancy healing his wounds and monster shit. had she even processed what happened here or did it all move too fast for her to think about? did she process steve's apology in the midst of the demogorgon on the loose? did she process this moment in season 1? or did it come later? did it come when the monster was dead? or did it come when she walks into town or school the next day and she can feel everyone's eyes on her without anything to distract her? did nancy "the slut" wheeler catch on and follow her around, even as steve begun shedding his reputation? did she stick by steve's side hoping that him taking back those words might make others do the same? did it ever work? or do tommy h and carol perkins still call slut? do they add "slut" to her byline in the school newspaper?
i know steve apologised and i don't even mean this to be anti-steve, i just wish the writers had understood the signficance this would've realistically had. i mean this is the 80s, hawkins is a small town, you think ppl would just forget abt that one time "slut" was spray painted on their local theatre?
i mean it could've added to the tension of s2 st*ncy, it could have been a part of nancy's arc and her struggle to make friends or an early start to her sexism arc with the hawkins post, it could have even been part of steve's arc. imagine steve grapping with wanting to be better whilst also grappling with having to realise the consquences of his actions as "king steve". this moment could've been its own arc, if the writers actually understood the significance of it.
