First with Nancy, then Robin, and now Nancy again because she’s showing him a little more affection now that her and Jonathan are away from each other. In summary, Steve deserves a happy ending.

@@ngnq8351 I'm a little confused why you keep mentioning people calling him a mom like that's somehow denigrating him.

[@alexjames4770]

A lot of people talk about how much Steve went from High School Jock/Prom King douche to “Mom”/“Babysitter” Steve, but I love that he also refuses to encroach on Nancy and Jonathan’s relationship despite Jonathan having done that to him. He’s clearly still in love with Nancy, but respects their relationship anyways. To me that says even more about his character development.

[@e.c.6000]

Yeah it’s crazy how much the show really does a ‘show don’t tell’ with Steve. We’re dropped little things from Steve like his dad being “a grade-a asshole” & he would kill Steve if he found out what substances he had at his parties. While on the other hand, his mother is either valid in her concern about her husband cheating on her or she’s paranoid. Their business trips, it seems tend to turn into vacations, so they’re gone for like weeks on end. It’s interesting in this really sad way when you realize how many main characters’ and sub main, parents we see, and Steve’s is like the only ones we don’t.

What hurts the most is that Steve was designed to never get the girl, but to make it seem as if he had everything, and when you look at his point of view, which this video perfectly demonstrates, it shows that he really is a lonely guy...

[@metroidnerd9001]

And even though Steve never gets the girl, he still helps them out and is respectful of their relationships. We get this in Season 2 with him being okay with Nancy dating Johnathan, and we get it even more so in Season 4 with Steve helping Robin. His experiences helped him become a lot more selfless than he was at the start of the show.

Tbh I kinda believe that Steve can beat up anyone but he chooses not to. Like he thinks he deserves the pain Edit: I know some people disagree but I think this is the case for what happened with Jonathon and in certain other situations. I mean I definitely think Steve would have beaten J, I mean he literally beat a demagorgon and couldn’t beat Jonathon? Uh I don’t think so. I believe that he could have squashed J if he had wanted to, I do believe that Billy won though because Billy is a lot stronger. I think that maybe Steve has a few issues because he beat up a Russian guard, a man trained to hurt people and he couldn’t win other fights which were probably a lot easier? I’m also not saying Steve is depressed I more so think he thinks he deserves pain sometimes.

Steve's characters development is incredible. He went from being a asshole, to being a person with a big heart. He loved Nancy since the beginning. Tommy and Carol made fun of him cause he cared and was worried about her in a episode in season 1. Steve was the most loyal boyfriend to Nancy and he basically got cheated on. But that didn't stop him from loving her. Steve said "Nancys different she's not like other girls." there was just something about her that made him love her so much!!!! He became a better person because he wanted to be with her. He changed for her. Steve wants to be with Nancy but he knows she doesn't wanna be with him. That's why when he said "it's ok nance. It's ok." for her to go with Jonathan, it broke my heart. He just wants her to be happy. He deserves someone who will truly love him, to replace the love that Nancy never truly gave to him.

THANK YOU!!! If you keep slaying me with these comments I don't know if I'll be able to keep editing XDD

[@sonnee44]

this post should be pinned, though

[@beatricetoscano2247]

It's been two years and I still think about this edit. It's so, so good. The parallels break my heart

[@Shainira]

thank you! :')

[@beatricetoscano2247]

@@Shainira thank YOU for creating it, it's AMAZING

[@bobgrifl480]

Steve the guy who always was there fighting the demegorgon and demedog, helping Dustin saving (the world) and being friends with all the kids, this guy sure is someone gonna miss ya Steve hope I’ll see you in season 4

[@shreekim942]

not once were his parents shown in all 4 seasons, shows how is he neglected as a child and probably why he cares for kids and treats them nicely cause he was never cared for and treated like that

[@thegooleeXO]

that moment when Steve pulls up to the school with Dustin, he leaves but Steve stays, takes a look to Nancy and leaves. Still breaking my heart

[@AJ-ri1jt]

Very well edited and very hard to watch at the same time. I think there's a lot of depth to Steve's character; even in the first season, you could see he had a good heart but lacked a support system/good influences. I also think it's telling we've literally never seen anyone from his family and all we get are tidbits like "my father's a grade A asshole" and indications that they're gone a lot/his dad cheats on his mom. Anyway, all I'm trying to say was this was beautifully done and the parallels and characterization all make it so poignant- which you just don't see enough of from Steve videos in my opinion. Great, great job and phenomenal editing. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Shainira]

Exactly!! I wish I could have used more quotes about his parents but I didn't find the right place to put them... Thank you so much! :')

[@neekzy7700]

Steve is something else man, his character has developed so much. The ending “it’s okay Nance…it’s okay” 🖤💔

[@sauron2190]

Dude this is breathtaking. It clearly took some insane dedication and editing skills to put this together, major props

[@Shainira]

thank you ^^

[@AlternateMichael]

This might've been the best Season 1 and Season 2 edit I've ever seen especially of Steve. This really is his character and his arc, what makes him so relatable. This was beautiful man, I had to give this a like

[@Shainira]

thank you!

[@gattolechat]

I'm no longer actively into Stranger Things but I still come back to this video semi-frequently. It's such an excellent like,, culmination of Steve's arc and it is just SO perfectly edited. Thank you so much for making this video it's just wonderful!

[@Shainira]

wow, thanks! :')

[@Justinhulk]

every other tribute of steve shows the iconic side of him. but this showed the emotional side. amazing video!

[@dannic8266]

This is such a well-made video, i keep coming back to watch it despite it making me teary-eyed everytime. I'm really worried for Steve in S4, without spoiling anything, i have a feeling if something bad happens this video is gonna hurt 10x more. :(

[@Shainira]

thanks!! Steve better be okay by the end of the season... and the series

[@Cami-wb6lo]

I’m watching this 4 years later and I gotta say the editing and emotion there is in this is incredible. The different parts of Steve that you display are so different from what we see now in season four, ‘the mom’ and funny and all that, but we kinda missed some of these parts in passed seasons.

[@Shainira]

thank you!

[@PatricieCerninova]

Steve is one of the best characters in Stranger Things. His development character is crazy and he turns to a better guy. He deserves better. ❤️

[@TheSwolOne]

“Like were in love?” Kills me everytime. Joe’s line delivery is so genuine and amazing.

[@djcprod]

Amazing! I haven’t seen someone explore Steve’s character this well. Which is no surprise because you’re a genius. Steve’s the man.

[@Shainira]

Thank you so much :')

[@amandag3950]

This is completely captures his entire character so so beautifully and it’s making me entirely to emotional

[@Shainira]

thank you :')

[@thirdyweloveyou]

holy fuck, i never thought of how he had problems when i was watching stranger things and this video just made me realise of how sad of a character Steve Harrington is. your edit is so beautiful oh my god

[@Shainira]

thank you! :')

[@christianmathisenjr1800]

Enjoyed this tribute. Really good song choice and editing. Keep up the nice work.

[@caitlinmich]

this is one of my favorite edits ever of steve. no video has ever captured his growth like this. thank you for making this

[@Shainira]

thank you! it means a lot :')

[@Gromkaspeaks]

the way of how all of moments are combinated is so incredibly underrated I'm watching this video like a hundred times a day

[@Shainira]

thank you so much :')

[@NinaDemoustier]

I think it is by far the best tribute to Steve I've found on the internet. The song choice, the scenes and of course the parallels makes everything go so smoothly I had to watch it a second time just to pin what made me cry so much watching this. I totally agree with you with the quote, when I first heard it I immediately took it out of context and felt so attached to him since the beginning, I hope Steve will feel better in season 3 because I couldn't stand the last scene of him looking at Nancy before leaving

[@Shainira]

thank you so much :')

[@danipat2725]

this is so deep. I just realised how much steve went through. So many emotions, sacrifice and responsibility. Just a one serie, just stupid "fuuny" charcter but Steve is really King for me

[@Poop-eg4nd]

Steve would do anything for his friends, for the kids and i think that is the most admirable thing someone could possess. he lives for his friends and he cares so much about them and you could see that love and care grow throughout the seasons. he has gotten his ass beat to the ground to the point he can't breathe to protect those kids. he has done unspeakable things just to protect his friends so they didn't have to do it instead. i love Steve with my whole heart and i never will not love him. Steve deserves the whole entire world and I won't stop preaching him until he gets said treatment.

[@lihclore]

still the greatest edit of anything i’ve ever seen. story written in this so well, every clip is perfectly not too long, not too short

[@Shainira]

thank you so much!

[@julesigmund6768]

So literally noone is gonna talk about the fucking amazing editing in this one? Really? Noone? Well then... guess I have to... DAMN THIS EDITING IS SO AMAZING HOLY-

[@Shainira]

thank you soo much!! :')

[@JackPopkins]

I actually can’t stop watching this, the music & editing is so perfect

[@Shainira]

thank you!

[@RuxAshes]

THIS VIDEO IS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL! I love Steve so much, since season 1 he was one of the best character, the one with a really great development. I love the fact that you showed the deeper & lonliest part of him, not just the fun, light one. He's such a complex and facinating character. He's very alone, with no real freinds, no parents to support him, but still, he's always there to help people. This video shows all the things that make him amazing! GREAT GREAT GREAT

[@Shainira]

fjlksghsflgflgfghhdghdg THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ^_____^

[@sequoiia5737]

Going along with the, “no parents, big house” thing, where are his parents? I mean, in the story, this whole thing spans like 3 years, and where are Steve’s parents throughout this? Like, he gets beat up, yet his parents don’t even help him or anything? If they’re there in the first place?

[@sonnee44]

so sad 😭

[@alexisstarkcausewhynot2251]

They're always working, that's why they have a "high social class" life. But that's why Steve wants to do things for himself, work from scratch.

[@devynnh.2646]

He said in season 3 that his dad was something... I forget but basically his dad is just really somebody you can't be dependant on, like billy's dad kinda but not abusive

[@andyo3637]

yeah they sound negligent as all hell

[@phoebe3103]

Steve is definitely my favorite in stranger things, his redemption makes him so lovable and he's the sweetest to his friends.

[@morganmiller5413]

And he loves the kids so much. He's a great baby sitter to them.

[@imsrrykenunot6025]

“no, i’m not crying, you are” *currently crying*

[@lydstxr2071]

the similar scenes that you put back to back during the whole “run away, harrington!” part literally made my heart drop this is amazing

[@eamonnlogue8856]

TheLydReed same and then it shows him looking back at the flickering lights. He always runs away, but he turns back that time in order to help and save Nancy

[@eggwonna]

Aghhhhhh this is absolutely FANTASTIC and captures SO much about Steve's character. I've heard people say that they don't like Steve because he doesn't redeem himself from what he did in season 1, or because he wanted to pretend like nothing had happened, but this highlights his inner struggle so well. I love this so much, incredible work!

[@Shainira]

Thank you!

[@CJ-lr4uq]

I still come back to this every once in a while. You made something very special and meaningful with this, but I'm sure you know that by now. Thanks for sharing your gift with the world

[@Shainira]

thank you so much :')

[@TCS266]

The edits in this video are amazing. Really shows the depth of Steve as a character

[@Shainira]

thank you!

[@kelso895]

that was so good and i am feeling SO MANY THINGS. this is a fantastic representation of steve's character. great work. excellent overlay of voiceovers and imagery, mixing old scenes with new. very smart work as well.

[@Shainira]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Feels! that's what I wanted :DD

[@mblaqminoz]

Holy shit sara. Wow..there goes my heart. This made me love him even 10x more. Your use of voiceover, parallels and the music just makes it more heartbreakingly beautiful. -that breakup scene hurts everytime aw- now up to watching this hundred times more. You really did him justice in the underrated and lonely side. ; - ; a masterpiece.

[@Shainira]

hahahaha My work here is done then :D You're right, that break up scene hits me right on the feels everytime **sobbing** THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@madisonm9694]

This made me cry , his character has developed so much and now I feel bad for all the shit he’s gone through

[@l0nely-heart524]

Everytime I watch this video it makes me feel this weird feeling, like I miss him, and I want to give him a hug, hang out for a bit and tell him that everything’s gonna be alright

[@malihaiftekhar1682]

You made me cry… what a beautiful person he is. Bravely defending those he loves and being utterly selfless. The hero we all need. He deserves love.
