“Are you decent?” Morally? Absolutely not. Decent like do I have pants on? Also no
ALTMAXIMUM!! LEGEND!!
Steve actually loves science fiction but it’s infinitely funnier to piss Dustin off by repeatedly mispronouncing the names is the characters in Star Wars because, “It’s Skywalker, Steve. Not Stair-Master! And his name is Luke, not Lucas! No one is named Lucas.”
“I think at least one person is.”
“In the movie.”
Dustin has recently discovered Doctor Who and is kinda a dick about explaining it to Steve. He heavily implies that Steve isn’t smart enough for the show like Steve’s mom doesn’t have a friend in England that tapes the new episodes and mails it to them.
Steve could share that information with Dustin but he’s not going to. Instead, when Dustin brings up The Doctor, Steve says, “Woah, Doc Hagan got a tv show?”
“It’s not a show about your dentist, Steve!”
If Steve is trying to round up all the kids and they’re being particularly annoying, he’ll clap his hands together and says, “C’mon, Ghost-bangers.”
The first thing he did after facing the demo-dogs was to memorize the entire D&D monster guide. He could tell Dustin this but D&D seems insufferable to him and it’s going to be way more satisfying when he catches the kid bullshitting an explanation and can call him out.
Robin knows about the stack of HG Wells books shelved in the den and Eddie definitely knows something is up. But Dustin? Nope.
There’s literally a picture on the mantle in the living room of him and his mom dressed as Spock and Nurse Chappell at a Star Trek convention when he was eight. Dustin walks passed it twice a week and has never noticed.
‘blorbo’ doesn’t have to mean ‘character i objectively think is the most well written and fascinating narrative agent ever’. it doesn’t even necessarily have to mean ‘favorite character’. they *can* all be the same person of course but to me ‘blorbo’ conveys the sense of a fun little trinket you carry around with you for moral support. it may or may not serve a functional purpose but you like looking at it. you play with it or put it in a jar or chew on it occasionally
