Dear Steve,

I have fallen. Just like the rest of the fandom. We've completely forgotten how much we thought you were garbage when we were first introduced to your character. I mean playing the stereotypical popular guy who invited Nancy over to lose her v-card and then slut-shaming her when you thought she was cheating? Come on, Steve. Also, not really caring about Barb while Nancy was worried sick? Not cool.

But you did better. You owned up to your mistakes. You became the internet favorite of Stranger Things. You manned up in the best way. You became the babysitter and mother of the boys (and Max). Season 2 brought in the best of you and the most hilarious memes of you on the internet. I mean the one of you as Regina's mom when they were doing the Christmas show? That was hilarious, admit it.

Oh, Steve. You are a symbol of how some modern-day boys need to act. Growing as a character, you went from being this stereotypical jerk face jock to being an actually developed hero. I mean going out of your way to help kids while also worrying about applying to college on the side? Steve, you're actually branching out!

It doesn't really matter that you've kind of lost Nancy. She kind of hooked up with Jonathan while they were off visiting Murray, but honestly, Jonathan isn't even all that. You've got the charisma, the leadership, and also, most importantly, the hair! Side note: While giving Dustin advice on the hair was great and everything, we don't need more guys out there promoting that the more a guy acts like he doesn't care, the more women will be attracted. We really don't need it, please stop for future reference.

Other than that, you're doing great Steve! Keep doing what you're doing! We shall see you in season 3! The fandom is at your knees right now!

Keep doing you! See you in the upside-down! Please bring your baseball bat full of nails even though no one really understands where it came from!

Sincerely,

A Fan
