(FINAL)DAY 7- TINAS HALLOWEEN PARTY!

And so it is finished… ngl I wanted it to be angst but it turned out to be a cute idea.

Eddie and Chrissy cosplaying as Ghostface and (with a wig) Casey seemed so cute! 😭

Better version here!

@hellcheeranniversaryweek day four: protective chrissy

“hey!”

a banshee wail reverberated through the hawkins middle school hallway, and forced every jock huddled around an infamous locker to stop what they were doing and follow the sound.

you wouldn’t think someone as tiny as twelve-year-old chrissy cunningham would have that much lung power, but she could put the best metal singer to shame.

you also wouldn’t think a cheerleader rapidly rising through the ranks to one day become prom queen would be running down the hall in defense of a scrawny burnout, but eddie had had the pleasure of getting to know a secret part of chrissy he suspected no one else could see, all thanks to the talent show a couple months before.

she didn’t actually fit in with her usual crowd of boneheaded conformists.

she'd been nervously pacing backstage before her presentation, worried about her mother nitpicking her dance moves, her hair, the size of her put-on smile. eddie, on the other hand, had been chewing his fingernails to the quick hoping to god his old man would show up to see him play in front of people for the first time like he said he would. they'd bonded over their shared anxiety, and chrissy had promised to cheer for him if his dad didn't make it (he didn't. she did.)

“if you don’t leave him alone, i’ll tell your mom what really happened in seven minutes in heaven at jenny’s last week. you know i see her every sunday at service,” chrissy threatened to one of the chumps in tiny shorts. andy something-or-other.

he gaped like a fish for a few seconds before scoffing and leading his pack away from eddie’s locker, leaving him rubbing his sore shoulder and hoping it would at least leave a cool-looking bruise.

“are you okay?”

chrissy’s impossibly blue eyes looked at him so earnestly that eddie felt a lump in his throat.

“thanks to you, yeah. my knight in… pink converse.”

chrissy giggled, scrunching her nose in a way that would sear itself into eddie’s brain for years to come.

he should probably feel embarrassed to be saved from bullying by a girl two grades below him, but the warmth that spread through his chest at her genuine worry made any self-consciousness dissipate.

"i won't let them pick on you again."

they both knew she didn't have that much power, not against an entire basketball team that was the pride of the school and could get away with most anything they did, but eddie appreciated the gesture anyway.

he'd take an aching shoulder for the chance to be under her concerned gaze any day.

[ebongawk]

"“Do you ever think about that?” she asked before the words could be sucked back into her lungs. “About, um. A-About finding your––?” “Yeah,” Eddie admitted. “All the fucking time, Chrissy.” “What do you think about?” “I think,” he murmured, so low she could hardly hear him over the music playing in the next room, “that she’s a lot fucking closer than she realizes."

Hellcheer Week Day two - Rockstar Wife Part 1 of 2

Writing a fic for this au didn't happen as much as I wanted it to. This was the next best thing. Not gonna lie, it's a little messy but it was super fun.

[bibiche007]

Let's eat brains together?

People have always said that Hawkins is cursed. In the end, they weren't entirely wrong. There were strange things about this town. It started with quick, unexpected deaths, like Benny's. All these things had something to do with Hawkins' laboratory, more or less from afar.

But no one cared more than that, as long as it didn't have a direct impact on everyday life. They were just rumors, after all. Well, rumor ceased to be rumor the day cannibalistic zombies emerged from Hawkins' lab and began ravaging the town.

And of course, in the midst of all this chaos, Jason Asshole Carver found a way to blame Eddie and his group of "satanists with the devil's game" for the tragedy. So Eddie finds himself with an army of zombies on his ass, and a bunch of jock assholes trying to kill him. No weapons, no equipment, no food. Even in his scenarios, he's more merciful with the players.

Well, you see, in all this chaos, he's finally managed to find a safe place. You know, everyone's looking for him everywhere. So he has to go somewhere where no one will think to look for him. Somewhere no one expects to see him. Especially not the jocks.

So he went to the gym. Running like crazy.

It's just that he's not in the best physical shape. Looking back, taking up smoking at 14 to be cool wasn't his best idea. Neither was skipping gym class two years ago. Don't tell him about the last time he ate fresh vegetables. Doesn't the tomato in the pizza count as a vegetable?

In all this bric-a-brac thinking, and in between a zombie or two, he almost missed the little trembling form under the bleacher. Almost.

But Chrissy Cunningham is unmissable.

Day 1 — School — D&D room

@hellcheeranniversaryweek

I planned to do something for every day of the event, but somehow made only one giant oneshot kinda last minute (I literally had a weekend writing marathon to complete this xD) so I'll probably disappear after that but I'm excited to see everyone else's work!

[rose-n-gunses]

close your eyes (and just reach out your hands)

"I wish I could be that young again. That innocent."

Eddie pressed a kiss to Chrissy's shoulder. "I used to."

"Not anymore?"

"No. Because now I get to do this."

"Lie in bed?"

"No, silly." He kissed the nape of her neck this time. "I get to love you."

OR

Chrissy's got end-of-year blues and Eddie's got arms to hug her with.

wip wednesday:)

for this week's WIP challenge curated by @hellcheeranniversaryweek I figured I'd share 5 sentences (#5 on the post's list) of one of my works in the google doc oven :) ⋆✩⋆｡°✩

Eddie and Chrissy sit on the back porch of his uncle’s trailer, pointing out the constellations that Dustin had taught them during the last new moon. Chrissy had learned she likes the Summer Triangle, which has the three of the brightest stars—Deneb, Vega, and Altair; the trio glint amid the dark blanket of the summer night sky of Hawkins. Stars seem easier to spot with the moon tucked away, waiting to be reborn into the next lunar cycle. City lights are too far away to dampen the stars’ spirits in front of the two young admirers.

This fic is more of a meditation on love in quiet moments, appreciating the simple gifts of presence. Sharing coffee together, splitting your last cigarette, gazing at the stars together in the middle of night when not a peep of other people can be heard. Joy that vibrates in the smallest of moments and gestures, but mean more than the grandest displays of affection.

That kind of thing:)

Hellcheer Week FAQ

It’s Year Two of Hellcheer!

Welcome back, Hellcheer Nation! We’re about to reach our second year of Chrissy and Eddie’s incredible chemistry. Why wouldn’t we celebrate with another incredible event?

What does it involve?

We’ve gone even bigger and better this year! We have several mini events running before and after, kicking off in June. 

We’ll have a weekly poll based around our favorite couple, every Monday in June.

Every June Thursday you’ll find our Throwback Event, celebrating how far we’ve come.

1st to 7th July we have the event itself and we can’t wait to see all of the things you will create. 

And finally from July 8th to July 14th we have our wrap up event - but don’t worry, there’s more information to come on all of these.

When will the prompts be released?

15th May! We’re giving you guys a little bit more time to write, draw, make gifs or moodboards…whatever you can contribute to mark the occasion. This should be at around 3 pm pacific/6 pm eastern/11 pm BST

How involved do I have to be?

That is really up to you - vote in the polls, make one new work or one for each day, or just reblog…we’re just happy if you take part. 

What tags should I use?

#hellcheerweek and #cheers2hellcheer would be the best ones but we’ll also follow #hellcheeranniversary and the Hellcheer tag.

The mini events will have their own tags so please look out for the posts about those if you’re interested in taking part!

Who is running the blog?

We have a larger team this year so there will be a separate meet the mods post! Please also feel free to send us asks about anything.

This event was started on the Hellcheer Discord- can I get the link?

Yes! We previously answered an ask about this - we won't be posting the link publicly but if you let us know you'd like to join, one of us will message you with the link.

We'll see you guys tomorrow for prompt reveal!
