OKAY HI HI

When someone comes out Steve's immediate gut reaction is to drag their taste in romantic prospects. Robin rejected him and came out and he went full "okay fine but please like BETTER girls oh my god" like the Mean Girl he is. God bless.

When Will blurts that he's in love with Mike (which... Yeah Steve knew that one.) Steve goes "okay there's nothing wrong with liking boys but why wheeler?? You can do so much better Will. Seriously. Literally anyone else." And will is just ?????? He just said he liked boys and Steve's biggest issue is that it's Mike?! "Mike is being a jerk!! He's ignoring you!! Dump his ass, Will!" Most confusing acceptance ever.

Eddie confesses to Steve and the man blinks at him like "but...I'm a prep?? And bitchy? And have had, like, five concussions?"

And Eddie is like "what the fuck are you talking about"

"I'm just saying I doubt I'm your usual type! Obviously I like you back but you could probably do better"

"Steve are you saying my feelings are reciprocated while also being self deprecating n order to insult my taste in men?"

"oh. Yeah. Oops."

Lucas and max come out without specifying crushes (except on each other) so there is no need to drag them for their taste in men or women.

Dustin is like "I literally only like Suzie" and Steve is like "I know this and I love you (and her)" BC Suzie is amazing and helped save the world too. And grey ro/ace Dustin.

The only person whose taste he doesn't criticize is Mike and that's because when he says he's in love with will Steve just goes "he's too good for you" and nothing else.

Btw me - ArgyleTShirtSupply!Anon

Didn’t exactly proof read - obviously I’m referring to band merch and metal tees but I completely do not remember if my wording made that clear - anyway - to clarify

Also consider - When Argyles visiting, he Jonathan and Eddie smoking up - argyle and Eddie glutting themselves and making improv and experimental pizzas in the Byers kitchen (the others are out, hopper on a date, dw about it)

Jonathan eats like a bird, Argyle has a big appetite but Eddie is beyond

Steve doesn’t join - it’s not his scene, Jonathan and Argyle are more Eddie’s than his friends, so he’ll just hang with Robin after work til the guys drop Eddie off

Cue Argyle driving Eddie back to Steve’s (don’t drive under the influence but like…the80s) Jonathan in tow, and argyle handing Eddie over to his waiting boyfriend, almost too familiar and more knowing than you want your ex-girlfriends-boyfriends-best friend to be saying stuff like “your lover is returned to you, blazed and sated my dude, have fun”

Argyles Argyle about it, Eddie thinks it’s hilarious, Steve is white-man grimace smiling politely and Jonathon wants to die

Those three get so fucking high and play the most chaotic and adolescent D&D of their lives. And they eat themselves (with the exception of Jonathan) absolutely stupid. And maybe high Eddie let's slip that Steve's been particularly tight of ass lately (newsflash it's because argyle's in town). So it's Argyle and Jonathan's idea to turn Eddie into a peace offering of their own creation and let that boy go hog wild. Stuffed beyond belief. There's basically no softness to his belly, and he almost looks otherwise visibly fatter than when he left earlier that night. Cue a happy Argyle like you said "Hark, my dude, I've got a delivery for Harrington. One pizza-stuffed lover boy, very well fed, extra blazed. Have fun and play safe, ok!" He leaves, so happy with himself and hair swinging behind him. Jonathan looks so scandalized you'd think he was shell shocked from the great war. Eddie's extra giggly, and practically bursting out of his clothes, and Steve is livid and thinking of how he's going to reassert boyfriend dominance, once Edd has had a chance to digest.

On this blog we forever love and support Megan Thee Stallion.

DNI if you don't love and support Megan.

Throwing my hat into the ring - hi! I’ve been loving so so much the back and forth amongst all anons on @wh0lemilk0vich s blog so finally braving outside of my Anon bubble. Making a decision to get more involved in fan creation content, despite my internet/text-based-communication-related nervousness. Just been having so much fun and really loving the output and also putting my hand up if anyone ever wants to send any asks my way too. Fessed up to my wordy anonymous kink dumps and gonna do my best! 🙈🙈

Know of any blogs similar to yours? Positive safe space chubby Mickey and Eddie shit lol, it’s hard to find cool dudes like you that aren’t weird or fetishistic y’know

Let's see if I tag the correct citrus-based blog for my friend! @theclandestineclementine is very open and public about being wg and Gallavich/Eddie Munson oriented

We talk about it all the time! I would say they're probably also more interested in writing about angst, hurt/comfort, mutual gaining and insecurity than I am. (I'm admittedly more into the written version of smashing the action figures together and making them kiss, but one of them is fat thing).So if that kind of stuff interests you, send some anons their way too! Clem definitely gets it and makes the same kind of welcoming, not-really-fetishistic space

To my knowledge that's kind of it. Like, I definitely made this side blog and wrote my stuff on AO3 to try to find more like-minded folks, but it's always been hard to find them and get traction. Hopefully, we find more of us!

I know you’ve written Eddie as super confident in his size - getting turned on by his partner being turned on and all

But is there any scenarios where Eddie gets flustered/bashful about his size or how much weight he’s gained? What do u think?

Oooh flustered and bashful absolutely, especially if it's Steve and he's learning how to take charge and be more dominant from Eddie's coaching and like the first time he does it without having to be asked, Eddie goes all blushy and embarrassed and soft and whiny when Steve points out just how big he's getting, how much of a bottomless pit he is, how soft and heavy. Ugh yeah Eddie would be smitten.

Hi oops - just sent that ask about ChubbyChoresSteve - realised that link might not work due to mature content? Or if ppl can work it and I’m just a dumbass who can’t use tumblr on desktop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway- same pics but on a blog not marked mature

https://beefyfarmer.tumblr.com/post/686223799496163329

Damn, I mean these are some good pics, especially the angle of the of first

Meanwhile Eddie is in his version of summer wear, daisy dukes, a cut off band t-shirt and hes on one of those pool loungers outside his trailer drinking and enjoying the view.

Steve takes off his shirt from the heat and Eddie starts wolf whistling and cheering

"Yeah that's right! Take it all off big boy!!"

Not sure if prefer established relationship or a get together scenario but picture

Post-Vecna and rebuild - Robin is attending community college (I can’t send her away from Steve) and cuts back her hours at family video, Keith has been scouted to manage a new store, so by process of elimination - Steve now finds himself as Store Manager - with a surprisingly extra amount of spending money

Eddie meanwhile - healing up but cannot find a job because reputations don’t disappear overnight, so he’s still dealing but only household income is Wayne at the plant, and Eddie’s no longer in school so that cuts out one of his guaranteed square meals, so yeah things are tight

Cue Eddie losing a fair bit of weight, cue Steve absoluTELY mother henn-ing it up.

Starts making sure he always has snacks handy - anything calorie dense coz look at his poor boy! He’s wasting away!

Seriously - any excuse for to get a snack in Eddie’s hands- Eddie yawns and Steve’s like “ITS PROBABLY LOW BLOOD SUGAR”

Making sure Eddie meets him 12.30 sharp at family video for his lunch break and Steve taking him any diner or restaurant he’s either knows or has heard is good

(“of course we’re going out to lunch Eddie, it’s good for our recovering local economy!”)

using this as a friendly rouse to pay everything, - insists Eddie orders as much as he wants - and Steve insists he pays it all.

Inviting him over for hearty home cooked meals- always with seconds and desserts

Eddie’s miffed at first and not sure exactly how to bring up that Steve maybe sees him as a total charity case — but he’s got eyes and it becomes apparent that Eddie finishing his plate…is definitely doing things for Steve

So it becomes a game of pushing the envelope- Eddie truly tests the depths of Steve’s seemingly limitless on hand snacks, ordering OBSCENE amounts at lunch, asking for seconds and thirds of both dinner and dessert at Steve’s house

Does Steve eventually realise or does Eddie tell him out right (kink negotiation is key and Eddie’s got more experience in that realm than Steve) does Eddie keep going and try to get him to admit …who knows

Or is the first one to crack robin, having a coke-to-Jesus moment with her bestie at work, watching Steve fuss over his ballooning boyfriend, pushing food on him constantly, even/especially if Steve’s acting all belligerent about it, always asking when Eddie last ate, “nagging” and mothering a smiling fat Eddie like “you sit right there, don’t move I’ve got more snacks in the back” to him etc

Eventually Eddie has to leave, vue a kiss goodbye and a doe eyed lovestruck Steve, watching his boyfriend waddle out the door and pass the shop front window and out of sight…10 seconds of silence til Robin is like “question - wtf??”

Also didn’t know how to work this part into the story - but part of the caretaking overdrive is also caused by (obvi) trauma - and Steve’s need to protect his own, so just idk - boys been working out a lot - beefier and more muscly and hairy than ever before. Eddie’s definitely not the one oblivious to his own size like Steve seems to be but he’s also curious if Steve’d be able to maybe throw him around a bit even with all the new weight

There's so much here and i like it. What I love especially are scenarios where a third party character cops on to two oblivious idiots long before they do.

Like of course it starts off innocently with Eddie convalescing and Steve being natural mom friend, going to lunch with Eddie and Robin. Eddie finishes his lunch because he's, well, hungry, and Steve packs up his leftovers (he didn't really eat his lunch) and Robin's (without asking her) to give to Eddie to take home.

Eddie moves to a new trailer because his uncle's old place has too many hard memories, so what better justification for Steve to fill Eddie's pantries, fridge, freezer, with everything he could want and need and then some. Sure, some of it is pantry-stable junk like cereals, Kraft Mac, chips, pretzels, Stouffer's dinners in the freezer, everything Eddie likes. And once again Robin is conscripted to help shop, bring everything in, and put it away.

It's when they're all hanging out as the older kids and a considerably plumper and happier Eddie has his limbs tangled up with and half sitting on Harrington, and STEVE finally looks calm and happy and contented, and his hand is absentmindedly scratching at and rubbing (oblivious) Eddie's belly, finding any reason to be taking up the same space as his well fed boy, that Robin rolls her eyes and cops on.

She sticks around for a minute or two after Jonathan and Nancy and Eddie go (he kissed Steve deeply, grabbing the back of his head with a ring-heavy hand, and gives him a good grind telling him he'll be thinking about him before bed).

"So. You and Munson..."

"Uh, yeah, for a while now. You knew that." Steve's eyebrows are knit and he chuckles confusedly.

"No, come on. You know what I mean... you and Munson," she draws out his name using her hands to mime an exaggeratedly rounded curvy body.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" He says going red and rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. I say live and let live, but I think you should let him know how much you've been drooling over his fat ass. If you ask him nicely, I'm sure he'll give you a taste."

"Jesus, Robin! ... You think so?"
