Spencer Charnas from Ice Nine Kills ⤷ Welcome to Horrorwood Finale / Meet in Greet Pt. 2 | MV, 2023

rewatching season 2 very closely and i never realized how Steve's like. always willing to listen to the kids. he's constantly hearing them out and always treats their ideas as worth trying to understand

when mikes going on about bob and the demodog army, steve asks a little 'what do you mean' to get him to elaborate. even as they're running around talking about shadow monsters and referencing a drawing and 'what Mr Clarke taught us' he's actively following along, asking questions when he's confused and keeping up with where they're going. they definitely sound like kids still when talking in s2, and they absolutely still look like kids (Steve's like half a foot taller than most of them still) and yet it doesn't sound like hes talking to kids, he's just talking normal

and i feel like a lot of us forget because that dynamic is so different in season 4, but all the kids and especially dustin have no problem explaining their thoughts. s2 ep8 has a lot of this specifically. Mike and Dustin both elaborate on any questions like its nothing, no groans or exasperation. Hell, Dustin loves using big words and explanations and a running bit is that he keeps over-explaining things to other characters like max and hopper. but steve and the kids are on equal ground, no one's acting like anyone's incapable even while they argue

and he treats all their ideas 100% seriously, even the more out-there dnd talk. and he even looks at Hopper funny when he won't take Dustins mind flayer theory seriously

first: following along with Dustin, looking at him seriously

second: hoppers annoyed, saying it can't help because it's a kids game

third: dustin's rebuttal, a glimpse of Steve's face, mouth open looking at hopper. this screenshot looks like weird looking, but you see the differences. hes notably changed expression looking at hop

and fourth: dustin continuing to talk to hopper while steve looks back down at the book.

he's just so important to the group, both in a genre sense (because how many things go wrong in movies because nobody will listen to the kids) and in a group dynamic (it makes sense that he's popular, he seems to be the kinda person to include everyone in conversations and actually listen to them)

THE STAGES OF SAYING “I LOVE YOU.” - INSP

Listen…

It’s the way she doesn’t like physical contact and how ✨gently✨ he touches her

The way she SMILES ever just softly up at him

The little caress he does with his thumb and how his hand cradles the back of her neck

And then she leans into him and I-

he doesnt look at him.... during the whole beach scene. until the kiss. he doesnt look at him. the whole fucking show we've been watching ed become literal heart eyes at stede at any given moment, always when stede's looking away. but ed doesn't look at him. he cant bring his gaze up. stede is studying his face intently. "and what makes ed happy?" stede is staring, wanting, hoping, doesn't even know what he's hoping for. then. "...you?" and ed finally summons the courage to check if he's ruined it. if he's soiled yet another beautiful thing, dragged his calloused, bloody, dirty hands all over a fine piece of silk, damaging it beyond repair. but stede's smiling. stuttery. nervous and wanting and staring back. I'm gonna walk into the sea.
