Fellas! Fellas!!!! Is it romantic to have matching heart necklaces with your favorite symbol of choice on them for you and your gal pal to share? We say, IT IS. And that’s just how we like our Steddie, that’s the ship name for Steve and Eddie—if you aren’t in the know. Steddie came in like a wrecking ball in Stranger Things 4, taking the Stranger Things fandom by storm, or some might say, by hellfire. Although you could argue that the two only shared a couple of scenes together. I’ll argue they shared custody of Dustin. And also they shared clothing. So, you lose. And we win. Of course, Steddie was not meant to be because Eddie died an unnecessary death on Stranger Things. But, hey, he’s still all mixed up in Steve and Dustin’s storyline in Stranger Things 5, so it’s not all bad news. But what Steddie fans do get are… Steve and Eddie friendship necklaces. And you know what, why not?
The official description for these “Stranger Things Steve & Eddie Heart Locket Best Friend Necklace Set” shares, “Choose your Hawkins hottie. Head to the Upside Down with your bestie and these Stranger Things BFF necklaces! This set features ball chains with heart-shaped lockets for Steve and Eddie, etched with spike bat and demon designs on the front.” Iconic use of bestie, here. The second most coded word for gay lover out there, after gal pal. And, listen, we won’t go into it too much here, but these Steddie locket symbols that define Steve and Eddie, well, we’ll let you make of them what you will, apart and… together. Perfect for you and the big boy of your life.
For our part, we’re here for our ship to get some love. Steve and Eddie are the perfect match, and we do have hearts in our eyes for Steddie. And we’re excited to wear them on our hearts with these Steve and Eddie friendship necklaces. Now, if we could just convince those Duffer Brothers to bring Eddie back, we’d be all set.
All this to say… Steddie fans, this one’s for you. The “Stranger Things Steve & Eddie Heart Locket Best Friend Necklace Set” is now available for pre-order at Hot Topic. It’ll ship in time for the New Year.
