FINALLY

after NINE. HOURS. (NOT including meals and sleep) ITS FUCKING DONE.

A complete floorplan of the entire Harrington house. Including too much thought about random, throw-away lines from characters and squint-to-see-it background glimpses inside.

plently of stuff in the actual house is altered or straight up ignored in favor of following the fiction logic and because I Wanted To. A lot of this is motivated by my headcanons for the Harringtons and how I'm writing them in my fic, but I'm also certainly not an architect so it's by no means perfect. It is, however, unreasonably canon compliant in the few bits we do see.

Thought Process (for context):

the darker shaded floor areas are lower than the rest, some bits like the garages having stairs and some areas like the sun and dining rooms list being like a step lower. Windows are marked with dashes along the outside, sliding doors are two thin lines slightly overlapping, stairs change color as they diverge from the level we're looking at, and furniture is eyeballed so don't look to closely a the scale.

not all closets are labeled, just the ones i figured could be confusing. Steve and the guest rooms have closets i promise.

the laundry room and pantry are not the same size but by the time i noticed i was exhausted. so pretend they're both more reasonably sized.

i don't know what the floorplan symbol for garage door is and then i forgot to look so the headlights point to where the doors are and you can see them clearly in photos so yeah.

The general layout is based on the idea that the Harringtons are or were into hosting dinner parties and business meetings in their home, especially as a young rich couple looking for respect in their circles (Mr. Harrington taking on his father's business and reinforcing that power, Mrs. Harrington climbing her own social ladder and building an image).

So the house is laid out with hosting areas towards the right with the office big and near the dining room because it's more than just a workplace, it represents him as a businessman. In canon the entryway and living room both have very high ceilings and no second-floor above them, so I'd imagine they're also aware of how the top floor looks from below, hence the fancy double/french doors to the master bedroom which is in plain view from below. Steve's room and the guest room are's nearly as visible.

As for the kitchen and sun/pool rooms, I see them more as secondary hosting areas that aren't used as the main location most of the time and are more this background setting to these events that still feel rich. The kitchen is massive and mostly for dinner-parties and Mrs. Harrington's social events.

The kitchen and main bathroom's placement is based on a line Steve said to Barb giving her directions to the bathroom: "down past the kitchen, to the left". With the massive living room on the left and wanting to keep the dining and office close by, i interpreted the "to the left" part being like "find the kitchen, then turn left". And with the rest of the area being open-concept, the bathroom would be the only normal door over there and easy to find. it's a bit of a stretch with just that line, but it makes sense to me with the rest of the context for the layout.

the basement is similar to this, though not as openly displayed so I imagine its for slightly closer friends. Theres a garage door down there so I figured Mr. Harrington might have a cool car he shows off, like he's letting people in on a personal detail about himself. There's also a guest room down there (the only one still considered 100% for guests, more on that later) for those people.

beside the basement garage, there was originally one main garage that holds two cars, obvious Mr. and Mrs. Harrington's cars. I imagine they bought the house before having kids, so a third one wasn't on the mind but after having Steve they added the front one (either turning the carport into a closed garage or they never had a carport and added a whole new addition, up to you)

Both garages lead to the same part of the house, and that area is the only one besides the water heater room that is purely function over effect. It still looks good like the rest of the house but it's not made to be fancy because guests would rarely need to be over there if at all and it's not noteworthy from other parts of the house.

In my headcanon, Steve's room used to be a guest room, staying his room from nursery to present with Mrs. Harrington renovating every now and then. Its one of those places in the house that doesn't have to look perfect for all to see, so she gets creative and has fun with it.

The upstairs guest room is also unofficially Mrs. Harrington's room, based on a line where Tommy mentions a fireplace in "his mom's room" instead of "guest room" or "parent's room" or "master bedroom". I belatedly realized this could be a solidarity thing with Steve hating his dad and calling the master bedroom his mom's room, but that was after 9 hours of this and im not changing it but there you go. In this version, I imagine she leaves the master some nights because her marriage with Mr. Harrington is failing (cheating and all, I wouldn't want to be in the same bed with someone who cheated either)

the master bathroom was an executive decision, just looking at the house in canon and not having enough space in my first attempts, i decided the triangle roof part above the dining and office could fit a master bathroom.

Feel free to use or reference this in your own fics! Feel free to block out my furniture or walls and make your own version. If you share my image please credit with an @ mention!! (again, 9 hours) (thank you fhalsfhd)

What rlly bugs me about that favorite character poll is how LITTLE votes Lucas specifically has. he’s in the bottom three when he is objectively one of the most well written characters on the show?? There is NO REASON he shouldn’t be at least a little closer to contending with Steve like Will is, but hes not and gosh I wonder why 🤨

Stranger Things fans I see you. I see your racism. It’s not subtle. It’s actually very loud and it needs to be addressed more on here bc it’s a HUGE PROBLEM that I’ve noticed even more so in this fandom than in others.

And black creators shouldn’t have to be the only ones talking about it or even just bringing it briefly up either.

#it’s even more of an issue on other platforms this fandom operates on #looking at YOU tik tok #gonna put this on the main fandom tag cuz ppl need to see this #spread this post around the fandom please #stranger things #stranger things fandom #stranger things tumblr

I'm convinced that they gave Steve Harrington ridiculously suggestive lines and sounds in every season so they could all eventually be edited together into one very gay supercut.

When will Milevens understand that even without Byler involved Mike and El just don’t fit together, they are two completely different people- and not in a opposites attract type of way, they just don’t work because they both want/like different things and they end up bringing the worst out in each other…Plus they both change everything about themselves for the other to like them

While Steve is on vacation in California with his parents he sees his boyfriend with an other guy. He’s heartbroken and decides to get drunk and meets Billy who works at the at the hotel he’s staying in. Billy offers to pretend to be his boyfriend to make his ex jealous.

I was thinking they would always meet at the abandoned old lighthouse Billy’s was saying in.

the feminine urge to dig through every scene steve is in to compile a masterlist of any and all traits, facts, and details we could gather from canon

and not to prove a "right" way to characterize him but to give more ideas and jumping off points for us to play with. we don't have a lot of details explicitly laid out for us so we do assume a lot (some of those assumptions don't have a strong canon backing which is fine but some definitely do and a lot of people don't realize?? we're not too far off with some of this) but theres definitely stuff implied here and a good bit of it's probably intentional (you're rarely "looking too far into it" with filmmaking. there are happy accidents but a shit ton of this is intentional otherwise it wouldn't be there)

anyway would anyone be interested in seeing it? rn it's just like an impulse before i go to bed but if anyone actually wants to hear whatever i find it might actually push me to do it tomorrow

#stranger things #steve harrington #stranger things thoughts #stranger things tumblr #steddie tumblr #steddie #<<target audience #i might do it for other characters too if i have fun #maybe dustin or robin or erica or eddie?#since im a scoops troop enjoyer at heart #and eddie wouldn't take as long cause he has like 30 minutes of screentime rip #actually maybe not robin i forgot we literally have rebel robin right there and idk if i have the attention span for that #maybe just call it a screen-only-deep-dive then #but yeah i chose steve because i really connect with fanon steve but im curious about what we get in canon #also he has a pretty wide good-faith characterization range because hes pretty ambiguous in the show #mr mysery over here #i need to go to bed #steveharrington #steve stranger things #steve harrington stranger things

real talk: if you’re not a gay man, you don’t get a say in how gay men feel about/approach slur reclamation. even regarding fiction. that’s not your topic to speak on.

So, with all due respect (which is none), Do Not Speak On It.

#fandom fuckery #this is ridiculous #i can’t believe i’ve had to say this multiple times #not a gay man? don’t police gay men in their intra-community struggles #it’s just that simple #byler tumblr #stranger things tumblr

Feeling cute, might make a Steddie doc with all compiled evidence of their respective queerness and attraction for each other in canon

#would anyone be interested #i know the byler fandom has one for their boys #whenever someone says that steddie isn't canon #i have a whole arsenal of counterpoints #but i want something on hand so ppl can see it all together as a big picture #ofc you aren't going to change everyone's minds #but there are some ppl who just never looked too closely #and then once they see it they realize #steddie analysis #steddie fandom #steddie tag #steddie nation #eddie munson #steve harrington #steddie #st tumblr #steddie tumblr #stranger things tumblr

IDK BUT JUST READ THIS

What if everyone starts spilling all of their secrets to the group so Vecna can’t get to them. Like Robin and Will both come out, Mike confronts El / comes to terms with his feelings, Nancy reveals what happened with Barb, etc etc.

LIKE EVERYONE JUST POURS THEIR HEARTS OUT BEFORE VECNA CAN GET INTO THEIR HEADS, some of them don’t get taken, some of them do but everything’s out in the open

In a more intelligent tone, Since Vecna feeds on people who have a debilitating secret they're trying to keep / something they're fighting with, the group starts thinking worst-case scenario and just spills all of their secrets. Vecna can't feed on people's guilt and secrecy if there's no secret. So like Robin and Will both come out to everyone, Nancy confesses what happened the night Barb died, Mike finally comes to terms with his feelings, etc. it could happen, hypothetically. Even if some of them get cursed, some of them might not and everything will just be out there. Also, this could mean that while someone does get cursed there will be less to curse them with. Like with the real life nightmares and stuff, it’ll be easier to deal with if it’s no longer something no one knows.

LMAO WRITING SOMETHING FOR THIS LATER
