Music used: Paradise by the Dashboard Light piano cover by Tom Noel | Sure Know Something by KISS

Chapter notes: Warnings for mild depictions of internalized homophobia and triggering content for emetophobia (begins at 34:52, ends at 37:39). Please comment or message if you need to skip that time and would like a summary of what happens!

Notes:

when u go looking for a kiss song for outro music bc eddie mentions them in the chapter i guess??? and then u accidentally do critical damage to urself by finding ur One True Steddie Song. we're not talking about it shhhhhh

no updates this weekend since i'll be traveling to see ms. swift. updates should (hopefully) resume by mid/late next week. as always, thank you for listening!

Chapter 3: III.

Music used: Paradise by the Dashboard Light piano cover by Tom Noel | Let's Hear It for the Boy by Deniece Williams

Notes:

deniece williams' "let's hear it for the boy" was #11 on the u.s. top 40 singles chart for the week of july 7, 1984, so it could plausibly be what's playing in the background during the garage office scene. more importantly, it is me @eddie at the end of this chapter lmao.

the next few chapters are also quite long, so we'll likely be on a schedule of roughly weekly updates from here on out. thanks for listening along!

Chapter 4: IV.

Notes:

Music used: Paradise by the Dashboard Light piano cover by Tom Noel | Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac

Chapter notes: Warnings for depictions of internalized homophobia, use of a homophobic slur,
and external observation of dissociative behaviors.

Notes:

fleetwood mac won the outro spot for the Vibes but pls know that in my heart, wayne and i are both belting chiquitita at eddie

also as a heads up: there will almost certainly not be an update next week as i'll be traveling for work. hopefully you'll see me again the week after next, so long as new zelda doesn't completely consume my brain. as always, thanks for listening!

Chapter 5: V.

Chapter notes: Warnings for depictions of internalized homophobia, including one use of a "queer" as a negative term.

Notes:

soooooo new zelda and a major home project ate my brain and all my summer. nothing to say for it but rippp and also, i guess, major props to universal theme parks for making the Choice to include steve wearing eddie's vest in this year's st hhn house. i couldn't have gotten squarely Back On My Steddie Bullshit without u xoxo

in all seriousness, i'm excited to be back working on this! work/life are kind of wackadoodle rn so i can't promise updates more than once every two weeks or so. but i am bound and determined to finish this one up by the holidays! and many, many thanks to those of you who listened to and commented on the last chapters, even while i've been away. i'm so sorry for not responding to comments earlier, but please know that those notification emails really did make my day each time one came in. even if i didn't have the spoons for fandom engagement these last few months, y'all truly helped me through some stressful times, and i cannot thank you enough <3
