My guess is the obit merch item is the wrong one since it's the most questionably canon. Someone saw this particular prop and assumed that was his parents. Merch is going to be the least vetted in comparison to a book and an on screen prop.

I can't take credit for it, I stole it off of Twitter lol. But yeah now that we can see the dates I think uncle and aunt. Raymond fits better with Alan and Wayne than Cheryl does as a name scheme. Though they could have had a sister.

I think they would be an older aunt and uncle with the dates, they'd be too young to be grandparents. Maybe Wayne and Al had an oldest brother or sister?

Huuuuuh. If so that would be big. The grave with new family members could be related maybe.

Do you have any info on the casting call for a young Eddie? I don't remember that!

That's unfortunately why Eddie specifically needed to die. Dustin is a sweet kid but he's also a little shithead that needs to grow as a character.

It's great for fics lmao. To be fair even though it's not my fandom ship, Byler is absolutely my canon ship. The impact that would have in a mainstream show like stranger things? A main gay couple not in a niche queer show? Of course I want that over Steddie.

That's something Steve has to accept as part of his growth. Did I think he already had that growth? Yeah but I guess the Duffers wanted to explore that in depth with him. To be fair it was that or bisexuality and they can't give the public Byler AND Steddie.

People don't understand the distinction between attraction and actually being good for each other. Nancy still thinks her ex is hot and is starting to respect him as a friend who has grown in some aspects. That doesn't mean either should settle for a life that they don't want.

Yeah I will wait on the love triangle I think they're setting up something good for Nancy here because neither of these dudes meet her needs. They didn't have to dumb him down so much but well he has gotten a lot of concussions. He almost certainly didn't get those seen. He's also still only 20.

Me too! People saying this is bad writing don't know what they're missing, this is beautifully set up conflict between characters. It's what they do BEST. Of course Steve, who hides behind conformity cannot handle this aspect of Dustin. Eddie died to give us this arc for both characters.

I mean they had him literally change his grades to avoid accountability (fear of literal failure) and then they had him and Steve HIT A WALL. The Duffers aren't subtle. They're spoon feeding this to you. Why are you not getting this?

Steve losing his patience with Dustin treating him like he's stupid is also reasonable. He *is* concerned but Dustin resents his concern and won't open up to him. He blatantly lied and just thinks Steve will accept it. I love him but Dustin has always been a little shit and now he's hit a wall.

This was the Duffers but it was also brought up with some of the younger actors as well to laugh at. Really really bad look if they're not covering their ass.

Oh that's definitely interesting. I guess we'll find out soon. At the very least they know how loved he was and they have to respectfully tie up his story postmortem. That's really all I care about but I'll never forgive them for being shitty to fans if there's no monster Eddie.

I don't see how they can do the season without at least showing his body. He was too important to Dustin who has a major arc *about* Eddie. Do you have a link to that pap footage? I was avoiding that stuff but at this late hour I don't see the point.

No it's valid! It became a whole subgenre within fandom! If they're making those kinds of comments knowingly it's really shitty and unappreciative of their fans. They better be making this crap up to us later.

That's my take as well the only thing that will make up for making fun of fans like that is if we were right. It will sit less poorly if we at least have some Eddie with plot relevance but it will never make up for it. It's very Sherlock/Supernatural era flavored and I do *not* miss that crap.
