hey just wanna say that as a casual eddissy shipper i've been really appreciating your recent posts on the latest discourse, explaining it all in a very mature and intelligent way. i find it pretty ridiculous, this age-gap faux-moral outrage thing, and it reminds me of a similar happening in the euphoria fandom concerning fezco and lexi's age-gap. the age-gap with them was actually less obvious than eddie and chrissy's at the time and it became clear that fez's age was more than likely retconned from 20/21 in s1 to 19 in s2 — which just speaks to sam levinson's on-the-fly attitude to writing tbh. but anyway, that's all water under the bridge now, thankfully. what's bonkers to me with this case with eddissy is the vibe i get that certain people are clearly pissed off by the ship, so like you mentioned are seeking a moral justification for that fair enough dislike... all towards a ship that unfortunately (unless chrissy is miraculously resurrected) is a canon non-starter! i see these posts saying please stop shipping chrissy and eddie!!! like bestie?? gain a couple years worth of maturity, critical understanding and a little perspective please! it's a very valid point you made that eddissy are in fact peers due to them both being high schoolers... there is no power imbalance there to speak of and that's suppported by their canon interaction. i think it does speak to maybe people's competitiveness and possessiveness of characters when it comes to shipping that these faux-moral wars crop up like they do... certainly with fez and lexi, the age-gap debate came about after they had already become a hugely popular pairing, taking up a large part of the twitter discourse from shippers and general viewers alike. even though eddissy is a smaller ship by comparison, their wood scene did capture the general audience on twitter more so than perhaps other scenes from involving other canon/fanon ships this season so far, plus their chemistry/the ship itself has the acknowledgement of the duffers, joeseph and grace... that's fairly significant and likely a point of jealousy for some, fueling the (faux-)moral outrage. anyway, i won't ramble on any more, those are just my observations as someone on the sidelines! keep fighting the good fight! <3

thank you! it can feel reaaaally silly parsing this kind of drama out in a serious way, so i appreciate knowing it’s of value to someone.

“what’s bonkers to me with this case with eddissy is the vibe i get that certain people are clearly pissed off by the ship” / “i think it does speak to maybe people’s competitiveness and possessiveness of characters when it comes to shipping” i think you nailed it here. possessiveness is a great word for the problem.

it’s interesting to hear about the fexi discourse. i watch the show but i’m not exposed to the fandom at all. i knew fexi was a thing but i was shocked when i went to the euphoria ao3 and it was the most popular pairing by like,,, a mile.

i think it’s a different situation because this is a very particular problem that arises when a popular ship feels, like you said, possessive. maybe a little threatened. i could be wrong, but my guess is that the fexi drama came from legitimate (if misguided) concern that got blown out of proportion to become a moral panic, which in turn escalated when it put hardcore shippers on the defensive.

it’s similar, but the subtle difference is where we see that hostility you mentioned come into play, as well as a kind of relentlessness. i’m hoping this will just fizzle out when the age thing is put to bed, but i’m a little concerned we’ll see another wave (or waves) of another kind after that.

until the antis can recognize that what they’re engaged in is a ship war and not a righteous crusade, the core problem remains. edssy will never be morally pure enough because it isn’t their ship.

one night in summer 1986

because, the Chrissy-Escapes-Vecna-AU is all fun and everything, until she has to deal with traumas and nightmares waking her in the middle of the night, trembling and gasping and crying… so, when she spends the night with Eddie and flashbacks come to haunt her, he gently pulls her into his arms, cradling her like one would a frightened child, and hums songs she doesn’t know until her breath becomes slower and she falls back asleep in his arms.

Prom Night 1986 (Chrissy lives AU)

expectedly, Chrissy is elected Prom Queen and, unexpectedly for the whole school, her first dance is with Eddie (i mean, they knew she and Jason broke up but… Eddie The Freak Munson??!!). She convinced him to come and, most importantly, to wear a blazer, a velvet red one, owned by his uncle since the 70s, over a simple rock band tee-shirt… so, they go public for the first time during this event after weeks of secret relationship, for they know they will have to endure mockeries or side-eyes just a few days before graduation. tl; dr: yeah, LOVE WINS ❤️🥳

#THIS FANDOM IS THE WORST FOR REAL #so wherever you are Grace this is for you <3 #eddie x chrissy #chrissy cunningham #eddie munson

Eddie: Turn around.

Eddie: No, the other way around.

Eddie: Wrong way again.

Chrissy: Eddie, where are you?

Eddie, over the walkie talkie: At home, but the idea of you twirling around trying to find me is really fucking adorable.

no.. but i am now thinking about how pissed jason would’ve been if chrissy dumped his ass for eddie ‘the freak’ munson and i would’ve loved to see it. because that meant chrissy & eddie were together and they would have been so perfect. it was just wasted potential and i am definitely bitter about it.
