so I am primarily an Eddie x Chrissy shipper but I ADORE the Eddie Munson TikTok saga with my entire heart

can we get some more insight into how Eddie was affected by Chrissy in your universe?

Thank you for asking this!

I’ve wanted to talk about Chrissy in this AU since the beginning, but I just don’t realistically see Eddie talking about her on his TikTok. Anytime Eddie has so much as alluded to Chrissy over the years, it has stirred up all this drama about that spring break and it always gets back to her family. And he doesn’t want that.

He doesn’t want to remind her remaining relatives of her death. He doesn’t want the accusations that some people still have that he killed her. He doesn’t want to attach all that pain and suffering onto the memory of Chrissy.

She was more than that one awful week in 1986. She was so much more and every time the Hawkins Murders get brought up she becomes less and less a real human person and more just a footnote in a bigger tragedy.

So, he doesn’t talk about her publicly.

So, Eddie honors her in the quiet ways that he can.

He honors her in the tattoo over his heart and in the initials engraved on the inside of the ring he never takes off. He honors her in the silence before every live performance and in all the songs so filled with grief that they’re never performed to an audience.

He honors her in the life he lives.

He tries to at least, because Chrissy is not a ghost that haunts him.

She is a presence that sits beside him. She is the sun warm on his face and tea made just a little too sweet. She is the skip-beat of his heart, the stroke of a guitar, the sadness that seeps behind his eyes. She is an empty house built inside him, and she is the windows he made in those walls, and she is beautiful still. And he misses her. Still

So, he honors her in silent ways when she deserves so much more.

She deserved a life, so he lives his thankful and fully. She deserved the same love that she put into the world, so Eddie never misses an opportunity to show his. She deserved adventure, and travel, and to see a world so much brighter than Hawkins, so when Eddie got the chance. It didn’t feel like running away. It felt like honor.

Eddie knows that he was not always kind.

He knows that he has a capacity for cruelty, that Wayne raised him right but he has shades of his father in him. He knows that for as much as the world othered him, as much as Hawkins ostracized him, he played into it. He othered himself. He grew bristles and thorns young, and he bared them to anybody that got close. He was mean.

He could be so mean, but Chrissy.

She didn’t remember him that day in the woods, but Eddie has always noticed her because she was kind. She was so effortlessly kind to everybody, even to him. She apologized in the hall for bumping his locker. She stopped when he dropped his dice instead of kicking them across the floor.

She smiled at him like he wasn’t a freak, the same smile she smiled at everybody.

She was so kind. It was for everybody. She was kind to him the way that she was kind to everybody else, and it was just… It was never fair. It was never going to be fair.

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER THAT THIS IS A JOKE but I don't get why people watch true crime videos on youtube where people's suffering and deaths are turned into entertainment when videos about tiktok and influencer drama can give you the exact same feeling of horrified fascination.

[tarrarre]

How do true crime "youtubers"/"tiktokkers" live with themselves knowing they're content farming and exploiting what was the scariest and most horrifying moment of a person's life

[teacupfullofstars]

Some things age badly.

[high-quality-tiktoks]

This request is honestly shocking

[ak47style]

do you guys think mr prada is part of the tcc now

[thoughtportal]

property theft

[rotisseries]

true crime stans and apocalypse preppers. same type of person to me

[storm-of-feathers]

btw if you're not on tiktok there's a school shooter gaining a lot of clout bc he was released after 17 years (bc fortunately he's a shit shot) and there's "drama" over whether or not it's "problematic" or not and just like.

this? this is where true crime and school shooter fandom and "I'm soooo into criminology and criminal psychology" bullshit was always going to lead. turning would be murderers into celebrities.

he seeks out and follows people connected to school shootings to help them "heal", including one of the parents of one of the children lost during Uvalde.

Also he thinks racism against white people exists so there's that too.

Video Essays I Appreciate:

• Influencers are a Plague

• MAKEUP & MISFORTUNE: Elizabeth Short | The Black Dahlia

• Candace Owens REACTS to Eugenia Cooney

• The Sickening Impact of Social Media

• The Islamic Roots of Hamas (w/ David Wood)

• The Real Life Blip

• GEN Z IS THE MOST MISERABLE GENERATION EVER. HERE’S WHY.

(Note: Even if you don’t agree with everything said in these videos, or perhaps the angle the essayist takes, I would just say that these are really fleshed out arguments. I also personally found these videos fascinating. If you disagree, that’s fine! That’s great! But if you you are going to be angry or hateful toward any point of view, perhaps you should first strengthen your position. Emotions aren’t intellectually superior: Don’t confuse your sensitivity for goodness! TRIGGER WARNING! YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED!)

Based on a conversation at work today ft. Tradie141

Price *whistling* " Naur none of that now, I will not be whistling today"

Reader "why?"

Price "Between Ghost and Gaz with their whistling and Soap's music (you cannot tell me he wouldn't listen to bagpipes on the job site) there is too much sound going on and it's hurting my head."

Reader ".... Would you like me to sing Opera?"

Price "No! Don't ya dare."

Reader "aw come on now I don't squeak that much."

Price "None of that now, thank you."

(sidenote I do squeak when singing, not sure if it's cuz I was never trained or because of singing in a lower register or trauma. But at points I will imitate with startling accuracy a dog squeaky toy.)

stigy! hiya friend 💜

lmaoooo i've recently found i can't sing in a register that i was very comfortable in as my voice has dropped a bit on t! so i'm with you on the "squeaky toy" impression!

ooh you've inspired some brainworms about what the trade force 141 lot would listen to on site...

kyle listens to his own playlist. it's a mix of tiktok trending music, the "good bits" of whatever has played on captial fm or bbc radio 1 recently, some 90s/early 00s r&b, stormzy and surprisingly a little bit of tina turner. you've caught him doing full body rolls to genuwine's pony before.

simon listens to podcasts. it's not unusual for you to walk in on simon giggling (yes, giggling!) at "dead ringers" or "sorry i haven't a clue". music wise he's pretty happy to listen to whatever someone else puts on as long as it isn't completely deafening, he still needs to be able to think.

johnny listens to edm at high volume all the time. techno, hardstyle, uk drum and bass? all good. all loud. give that man a diiiiiiirty bass line (and everyone else some earplugs). you can tell which zone he's working in for the day because the floor will tremble a little bit.

price listens to smooth radio. no, he won't be changing it to something "less crap". if you've got an issue you can fuck off. love shack by the b-52s is a classic.
