“Gay people did exist in the ‘80s” I say into the mic. The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame.
“No, they’re right” two people say from the corner. It’s the jazzercise instructor and photographer from Startcourt Mall.

Key part of understanding Robin's characterization pre-s3 is that she was not a hater for any legitimate reasons. She was completely petty about Steve! The girl she liked had a crush on him, he ate messily in class (legitimate cause for annoyance and frustration. Teenage boys are often gross), and he was popular! That's it! He was a jock who ate a bagel like a teenage boy and didn't register a lot of people on his radar and her crush liked him so she put him as enemy number one.
The whole time she worked at Scoops she was fighting desperately to hold onto that pettiness. She was having fun with Steve and teasing him and she probably had to stare into the mirror every morning and tell herself she would not laugh at his corny jokes or find his cringefail little dances endearing. She wouldn't. And everyday she failed! She knew she was sliding closer and closer to Steve being her silly little guy before the Russians, they just sped up her admitting it.

i need more codependent steve and robin.
steve and robin sitting on each other’s laps during movie night, sharing a thing of popcorn between the two of them
constantly holding each other’s hands while joking around with each other. robin will be endlessly making fun of steve all the while she is holding his hand in her own and refuses to separate.
steve complaining that he can’t get a date and doesn’t understand why, meanwhile robin is sitting on the counter at family video behind him, playing with his hair.
whenever they are saying goodbye they kiss each other on the cheek and say “i love you.”
they have a “date night” every week where they go to a diner and get food and share a milkshake.
eddie and nancy think they have absolutely no chance with steve and robin, respectively, because the two of them are clearly dating. when robin comes out to them their entire world feels like it flips on its head.
steve and robin being each other’s unintentional beard. they didn’t mean for it at first but everyone just assumed they were dating already so they stopped correcting people, letting them think what they want. (it makes robin’s relationship with nancy and steve’s with eddie comically easy to hide. no one looks twice when they are with them bc steve and robin are clearly together)

In the rain fight scene, Mike says "I'm not trying to be a jerk", but the spanish subtitles say no quiero lastimarte, which means I don't want to hurt you.🥺

Tbh S3 would have been interesting and better even if everything was the same except the secret base under Starcourt was American. Like scoops troop still picks up a Russian transmission and translate it, but they get down there, and it's Americans. The code was in Russian as another layer of description and to deflect responsibility. But it's still the American government fucking around with the Upside Down, capturing and torturing kids under a mall. Alexei is a Soviet defector working for the Americans. The big Terminator guy is just a silent American hitman. It's all still a government conspiracy.

steve: “and what are you gonna do, you gonna woo them with this denim vest? how many times do i have to tell you? you gotta stop wearing that.”
