These details are beautifully sweet! 💙💙
I don’t think I have ever had so much affection for an imnaginary couple as my new OTP Edissy 💙
In high school I had a friend in the same condition as Chrissy’s, and I loved the performance VERY much: certain problems are shown very little, and I was rooting so much for her to break free from the shackles of maternal judgement and shine for who she is in the show.
I imagined her learning to appreciate herself, certainly supported by Eddie: ‘Mean and scary’, but with a heart made of gold.
I would have loved to see them at the school dance.
Probably because I was (a girl, but still) always among the 'freaks’ (metalheads and role-players) in my teens (late 90s), though I never had the courage to give a damn about other people’s judgements as I saw Eddie do.
Plus being a girl was certainly not seen as well as one might think.
The 'popular’ girls would bully you for being a loser, and in role-playing there was an incredible toxic machismo: you were automatically treated as incapable of role-playing, or 'only interested because she wants to hit on someone at the table’.
Horrible but true.(I still wonder how I became an adult while remaining passionate about everything I was teased about)
Saying Eddie welcoming Erica made me happy to indescribable levels.
(Someone like him, might as well have been a secret teenage crush of mine 🤔)
I can confidently say “I was a Dungeon Master before it was cool” ( I’ve been role-playing for almost 19 years 😝) which is why Stranger Things has always made me feel at home.
Seeing the shortest but most intense love story of all 4 seasons wreck like that just destroyed me.
Thank you artists who draw beautiful things or write headcanon or fix-fic about them.
Many thanks to the wonderful actors who see their characters as a possible couple 💙💙
No ok, enough: my little heart cries so much.
SOB I love them so much! 💜💙💜💙💜
