ST Pride month

the Hawkins crew trading the Upside Down for a neon-soaked 1980s Pride parade is pure joy. Will and Robin lead the pack with rainbow face paint, finally breathing free in a space where they are fully seen. Beside them, Eleven marvels at the towering drag queens, using her telekinesis to swirl a massive cloud of glitter over the cheering crowd. Dustin and Lucas blast synth-pop from a decorated float, while Max weaves through the dancers on her skateboard. Steve Harrington, the ultimate group mom, sports a fanny pack packed with sunscreen, extra water, and rainbow flags, keeping a protective eye on everyone. It is a day of uncontainable laughter and freedom, where the only monsters are bad dance moves, and the bond of friendship shines brighter than any multi-colored banner under the summer sun.
