I love the internet.

If you ever think about putting graphics in your fic, think again.

You know what? There’s something I love even more than rockstar Eddie Munson—illustrator Eddie Munson. Picture him thriving in the art world, pouring his creativity into comics, magazines, and all that good stuff.

People don’t talk enough about his artistic talent, you know? Everything he used to create for the Hellfire Club—those intricate campaigns, the characters that felt so alive. That guy has an artist’s soul.

And Chrissy? She’d absolutely be the one to push him toward something bigger. She’d help him see his own worth, telling him,“Eddie, your future doesn’t have to look like your dad’s or your uncle’s. You’re so much more than that.”

She’d make him believe in himself, in his talent.

I can already picture their future. She’s at her dream college, the two of them living far away from Hawkins, building a life together. And Eddie? He’s illustrating comics for magazines like Heavy Metal—one of his all-time favorites—and every single one of his characters looks just a little bit too much like his girl.

Honestly, we need to push the Eddie-the-Illustrator agenda harder!

Chapter 4 | belladonna by reutrntosaturn

-

“If anybody makes an ass of themselves…” He drops his arm from around her, her necklace snagging briefly in the move, reaching to dig his cigarettes from the pocket of his jeans. He takes one between his lips, tips the open pack towards her. “We throw them in the pool.”

She smiles softly and reaches out to pluck one free.

“You and me?”

His glinting silver lighter is conjured in place of the cigarettes, sparking at the twitch of his fingers. Chrissy watches him closely as they both lean in to share the flame.

He swipes his smoke from between his lips and blows a thin stream.

“You and me,” he confirms.

Actual image of me right now:

[corishat]

Arduously scouting images for the chapter of belladonna containing headlines and album artwork: "Hmm. We really are freaks for having this hobby, aren't we?"

[peg-the-empire]

i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33

Okay I'm gonna turn this into an actual piece but if I didn't get this out Today I was going to explode

I read @cellulited-bean s Hellcheer fic The Ballerina and instantly lost my mind.

I want to read more of it SO bad, the concept was instantly incredible, definitely read it!!!

[corishat]

And as for the guys...

At this juncture of the era, we're still in a more psychedelic, ethereal theatricality for "metal" musicians than the leather theatricality that would take over in the '80s.

This was Judas Priest in '74:

And Black Sabbath:

Everything quite casual, eclectic. But for Eddie specifically, I take a lot of inspiration from Jimmy Page's clothing:

(last image is someone's Halloween costume, but it provides the clearest image of that suit)

And Robert Plant's curls here, I MEAAANNNN. We love the wash-and-go thing Eddie has going on, but he needs some defined curls because I say so.

[harringtonstar]

every once in a while I sit and giggle to myself about that pic of the pack of Trojan condoms in Eddie’s room and how there was a prominent clean square in the shape of the pack in the dust on the dresser when it was moved like he really got no bitches ever huh 😭

[corishat]

I also think about how I’m pretty sure it was like a single in the package. Boy was hoping.
