Rueleigh's Thoughts - Tumblr Posts

Steve didn't graduate because of his dad. He graduated because he worked his ass off all the while dealing with the after effects of yet another encounter with the Upside Down, a broken heart, and suddenly becoming a single mom. Kudos to Steve for graduating on time and being a single mom. It's tough out there. And you know, those kids have better shown up with a large colorful poster board. Anyway, he's not stupid. He's just said and done stupid things. . . Haven't we all?

Bonus:

El not realizing it's a joke and just straight up calling Steve 'mama'. He doesn't have the heart to correct her. I mean, eventually, she does realize, but it's gone on too long that it's just become a habit.

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.
