Young Dusty
Listen, listen, I'm just gonna say it. If Will and Robin get to be the chaotic queer duo of WLW/MLM solidarity, then I want at least one conversation between Steve and Mike. One! That does not include a, "so you really like my sister huh" type joke convo- NO I want bonding. Even if it's a throw away heart to heart that lasts 3 seconds. Even if it's not about byler or Will and Robin being friends, give me a moment. Maybe something that's just a bit of fluff/angst like, "Y'know Dustin misses hanging out with you guys outside of DnD... Like a lot" and some more contemplation from Mike about how his "obsession" (if I can call it that) with El, or maybe just having a girlfriend in general, has been affecting the other people in his life and his relationships with them.
Or maybe I just think Steve Harrington's a badass bisexual mom who whoops ass and takes care of his kids, and I want to see that with more than just Dustin (and Max kinda) for just a few scenes.
I'd also be happy with a similar heart to heart scene with Mike and Nancy mostly because I wish we got to see more of them together.
For like a year in junior high, I asked people to call me Dustin, which is not my name. I don’t really remember why I wanted them to call me Dustin but I think it was because my favorite character at the time was named Dustin and I thought he was the coolest dude ever because he had a motorcycle. And then in high school I had to work with this girl on a project and she called me Dustin, and it unlocked memories I had long since forgotten. And I remembered that just now because they took most of the Power Rangers series off Netflix.
