Curate, connect, and discover
I told myself I would stop with the Steve is a mom joke for a while, but this popped into my head, but I do feel like Steve might overcompensate in s5:
Jonathan: Does Dustin know you're not his father?
Steve: *scoffs* Of course he does.
Nancy: Then why are you fixing him chocolate milk and cutting the crusts off his grilled cheese?
Steve: Because they're his favorite, and he doesn't like the crusts.
Jonathan: Well, you know, you don't have to do it.
Steve: And just leave the crusts on? Hasn't he been through enough? Dustin, come get your food!
Dustin: Thanks, Mo - I mean, Steve. By the way, uh, mom can't take me my doctor's appointment, can you?
Steve: Sure. *Dustin walks out.* See, he knows I'm not his dad.
Nancy: *narrows eyes* He almost called you mom.
Jonathan: Why are we dating him again?
Nancy: Because we both agreed that we loved him.
Steve: Hilarious.
Dustin being the definition of š
I saw this post and it gave me flashbacks of a few days ago when i was going to my campus and a bike with some people dressed as and elf and Santa Claus passed right in front of the car.
Now, imagine that but with Steve as Santa and Robin as the elf.
Bonus points if instead of a bike is Eddieās van full of the Party dressed as some Christmas character and when they get out they look like a Christmas version of a clown car.
Eddie walked into Steveās house to find the kids crowded around the entrance to the living room. He looked in to find Robin and Steve hanging upside down on the couch, looking depressed.
Eddie: What's going on?
Dustin: They got rejected by a cult today.
Robin: And the thing is, we didn't know it was a cult.
Steve: And when we did figure it out, we didn't want to join, but suddenly, they wanted us!
Robin: And now they don't!
Steve: What the hell does "too perfect" even mean?!
Max: Why are you upset they rejected you?! They kidnapped you!
Robin: And it's nice to feel wanted sometimes, Maxine!
Eddie: Okay, where the hell is this place?
An hour later, Eddie stormed back into the house, brushed past the kids, and threw himself down next to Robin.
Robin: You get rejected, too?
Eddie: They just looked me up and down and shook their heads! Then, when I demanded answers, they threw me out! What the hell kind of cult is this?
Steve: It's a rude cult.
A few minutes later, Hopper came to pick up Will and El.
Hopper: *looking into the living room* What the hell happened?
Will: Go easy on them, dad. They got rejected by an entire cult today.
Hopper: What?!
Steve's car + B99 reference = Steve naming his car Gertie (or Sexarella if you're feeling fancy).
[Eddie, Robin and Steve in a sleepover]
Robin: [sleeping]
Steve: How is she already asleep?
Eddie: Maybe is the lack of guilt on her conscience.
Steve: Uh, couldn't be me.
Robin: What do you call a fish with no eye?
Nancy, not looking up: Myxine Circifrons.
Robin: ā¦
Robin: Fsh.
Steve : You were stabbed. Do you remember anything?
Nancy: Only the ambulance ride to the hospital.
Steve : That wasn't an ambulance, I drove you.
Nancy: But I heard a siren.
Eddie: That was Robin.
Robin: Sorry, I got nervous
Steve, trying to flirt: No wonder the sky is grey today, all the blue is in your eyes.
Eddie: ā¦My eyes are brown.
Robin: *rolls over in her sleep and knees Nancy in the ribs*
Nancy: Ow! You kneed me
Robin, still asleep: Yeah, I do need youā¦
Nancy, holding back tears: Okā¦
Nancy to the party: Alright, listen up you little shits!
Also Nancy: Not you Robin, youāre lovely and weāre glad youāre here.
Nancy: *puts a little note in Robinās breakfast*
Robin: *finds and reads the note* Aww, āI love youā, how cute.
Nancy: : )
Robin: I love you too egg!
Nancy: ā¦
Nancy: Iāve been dropping the most insanely obvious hints for months, nothing.
Robin: Wow, they sound really dumb.
Nancy: Theyāre not though, theyāre actually really smart, just dense.
Robin: Maybe be more obvious! Like just straight up say āhey, I love you!ā
Nancy: Ok. Robin, I love you.
Robin: Yes! Exactly like that!
Nancy: Oh my godā¦
Robin: And if that goes over their head, Iām sorry Nance but theyāre too dumb for you.
Nancy: Robā¦
Nancy: I like your pants.
Robin: Thanks! They were 50% off.
Nancy: Iād like them 100% off ;)
Robin: The store canāt just sell free stuff,
Nancy: Thatās not what I-
Robin: Thatās a terrible way to run a business Nance.
Steve: Robin and I are so close we finish each otherāsā¦
Robin: *zoned out*
Steve: Ssss
Robin: *snapping back to reality* Sssomebody once told me-
Robin: *Staring off into space*
Nancy: You good robs?
Robin: *Still staring into the abyss* Lasagna is just Spaghetti flavoured cakeā¦
Nancy: *Extremely concerned but also question human existence* Ok what the fu-
Steve: Robinās gone on a trip for band which means Iām gonna donate half my wardrobe, try to cook something and most likely set the kitchen on fire, do my nails and give myself a haircut.
Nancy, extremely concerned: Why?
Steve: Robin is like 98% of my will power.
Dustin: Ok, thanks dads.
Everyone: ā¦
Dustin: Whyās everyone staring at me?
Robin: You just called Steve and Eddie your dads. You said, āThanks dadsā.
Dustin: What no I didnāt, I said thanks guys.
Steve: Do you see us as father figures Henderson?
Dustin: No! If anything I see you both as bother figures cause youāre always bothering me!
Nancy: Hey! Show your dads some respect!
Dustin: I didnāt call them my dads!
Eddie: No, no, no, Dustin, we take it as a compliment.
Mike: Itās not a big deal, one time I called El āWillā.
Dustin: Guys! Jump on that! Mikeās madly in love with will but still dating El!
Max: Old news! But you calling Steve and Eddie your daddyās-
Dustin: Hey! Daddy is not on the table here!
Lucas: But you did call them your dads dude.
Dustin: You shut up! Youāve done nothing but lie since you got here!
Lucas: Ok Iāll admit, I stole your DnD book, but the dad thing? That happened.
Dustin: AHAH! Lucas admitted to stealing my DnD book! It was a trap! All a part of my crazy, devious plan.
Steve: We believe you.
Dustin: Thank you.
Eddie: Son, would you like to talk about it later over a, game of catch?
Dustin: ā¦Iād like that.
Nancy: So, who broke it? Iām not mad, I just wanna know.
Robin: I did, I bro-
Nancy: No. No you didnāt. Eddie?
Eddie, messing with Steve: Donāt look at me, look at Steve
Steve: What? I didnāt break it.
Eddie: Huh, thatās weird. How did you even know it was broken?
Steve: Because itās sitting right in front of us, and itās broken.
Dustin, also messing with Steve: Suspicious.
Steve: No itās not!
Lucas: If it matters, probably not but, Erica was the last one to use it.
Erica: Liar I donāt even drink that crap!
Lucas: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Erica: I use the wooden stirs to push back my cuticles, everyone knows that LUCAS!
Robin: Ok, ok, letās not fight! I broke it! Let me pay for it Nance.
Nancy: No. Who broke it?
Dustin: Nancyā¦Max has been awfully quiet.
Max: Really?!?
Dustin: yeah really!
Max: Oh my god!
(Arguing in the background)
Nancy: I broke it. It burnt my hand so I punched it.
Eddie, DMing a game for the Fruity Four: *BBEG voice* And now, time for the deadliest game of them allā¦
Robin, nodding: Knife Monopoly.
Eddie: ā¦Actually I was just gonna send his minions to hunt you for sport but now Iām seriously interested in whatever the fück Knife Monopoly is.
Robin: Bad news, Steve forgot his keys and we where all locked out of the house. Good news I knew how to pick the lock! Bad news now Steve is concerned why I know how to pick locks, Eddie and the kids where pretty impressed though, I didnāt have the heart to tell them I learned how to pick locks when I was fifteen because I thought it would impress pretty girls. Good news a pretty girl saw me do it! Bad news, it was Nancy, and sheās already seen me trip over my own feet multiple times and burst into tears when a baby deer was just a little bit TOO cuteā¦itās too lateā¦she already knows.
Robin, texting Nancy: Help Iāve been kidnapped!
Nancy: where are you?
Robin: In a car with some random stranger!
Nancy: Hold on Iāll call Steve.
Steve, picking up the phone: Hello?
Nancy: Whereās Robin? She just texted me saying sheās been kidnapped.
Steve: Robin? Robins with meā¦Iāll call you back. *turning to talk to Robin* THE NEW HAIRCUT ISNāT THAT BAD!
Robin: WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!
(Steveās passed out again)
Dustin: We gotta get him to a hospital now!
Max: Then I should drive
Mike: Why you?
Max: Because I have nothing to live for and I drive like it.
(Cut to)
Everyone, including a now awake Steve: *SCREAMING*
Steve and Nancy talking to Robin, Eddie and the kids: I am at a loss for words.
Robin: Despite being at a loss for words, they both continued to yell ut us for the next 45 minutes.
Robin: My girlfriend once told me she thinks my eyes are Weezer blueā¦..She also often tells me she thinks that, I am autistic.
Steve (teaching Robin how to drive): Ok, so youāre driving down the road, and all of a sudden Mike and Dustin are crossing it, what do you hit?
Robin: Oh definitely Mike. I mean Nancy might be a bit mad at me but I could never hit Dustin.
Steve, rubbing his temples: The brakes Robin. You hit the brakes!
Eddie: I hate physical touch and any signs of affection. Itās just gross and unnecessary.
Robin: Youāre literally sitting in Steveās lap.
Eddie: Thatāsā¦irrelevant.
Robin: I wasnāt THAT drunk last night
Steve: You were flirting with Nancy
Robin: So, sheās my girlfriend?
Steve: You asked her if she was single and when she said no you started crying.
Eddie: So, Iām in love with Steve.
Robin: Steve, my best friend?
Eddie: Yeah. Thoughts?
Robin: And prayersā¦
