“Are you okay?” Jo hesitates, but Stevie shakes her head.

“Just keep going.” The hair on the ground is too much to look at, so she closes her eyes. “I’m okay, just keep going.” She digs her nails into the bare skin of her thigh as Jo starts up again, trying to focus on anything beside the sharp snipping of scissors gliding through her hair. The quiet thump of limp strands hitting the floor.

“So uh,” Jo breaks the silence, “the first time I cut my hair was when Lonnie left. I don’t know if you’d remember from when we were kids—well, I know we weren’t exactly friends , but we saw each other around.”

Stevie thinks back to long summer days at the playground, watching the tweedy little Byers siblings playing in the dirt from her spot atop the monkey bars. “I remember.” With her eyes still shut, she can see them clear as day. “Your hair was longer than mine.”

new stonathan fic uploaded, but plot twist... they are girls!!! woah!!!

hell yeah man 🥂

*watching two guys fighting in a movie or show* see the director put that scene in there to let us (the audience) know that theyre in love

'just two guys getting food'

Boyfriends with matching sweaters

oh, sex? actually, can you just beat me up homoerotically so i can go home and jerk off about it later?

i love stonathan bc the idea of it is objectively so funny. like they spend all this time agonizing over the same girl but in the end they're both like you know what. i didn't see it before but now i get what she saw in you. why would she pick me when there is you. of course she would choose you, who wouldn't fall in love with you. it's basic common sense.

annoying nicknames steve calls jonathan just to get on his nerves (and bc he’s in love w him):

1. jonny boy

2. jonathaniel

3. jonny b goode

4. jonjon

5. jona-fan (for when jon is especially nice to steve i.e is a fan of him)

6. port-a-jon

7. thonajon

8. jon-no-fun and/or

9. jon-of-fun (it depends upon the situation)

10. jon of thon

11. jean-athon (only for when he’s wearing jeans specifically)

12. jona-thong (not for when he wears thongs; steve is just insufferable)

honourable mentions go to “biyers”, wherein he always puts heavy emphasis on the bi and thinks he’s witty for it, and “byers the way”, which is how he starts his anecdotes before jonathan can get a single objection in

Steve getting a summer job at 18 bc his dad made him vs Jonathan working since he was really young to support his family. Steve having all of his needs met vs Jonathan having to help pay bills. Steve not going to college bc he didn’t get in vs Jonathan not going bc of his guilt and anxiety about leaving his family. Steve smoking weed for fun vs Jonathan smoking it to cope. Steve ‘babysitting’ Dustin vs Jonathan parenting Will. Steve’s ‘asshole’ Dad vs Jonathan‘s abusive Dad. Steve being excited about his future kids vs Jonathan‘s fear of turning into his Dad. Steve idealising Nancy as his wife vs Jonathan being terrified of holding her back. Steve getting to be a teenager while Jonathan had to be an adult. The audience forgiving Steve but not Jonathan. Steve running from the cops vs Jonathan getting arrested. The audience loving Steve but hating or ignoring Jonathan.

STONATHAN WEEK: DAY 7 | favourite scene

imagine your girl jacking you off and she stops and says im sorry i can’t i can’t. this is like, the dumbest erection i’ve ever seen.

guy with poor circulation vs guy who is a human furnace. Who will win

just been informed they are now kissing with tongue and fucking sloppy style in the ring. Love wins

everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye
