it's funny and also sad how you guys give grace shit for being obsessed when here you are doing the exact same thing.

it's been four years since s4 dropped. plenty of time for you to just block her and her fans and just get on with your lives. but no, here you are starting up another hate blog (yes this is a hate blog not a gossip blog). and it's not lost on the rest of the fandom that you've done this right after the show ended. you can't find any other way to pass the time? fanfiction isn't enough for you?

it's just sad.

No, it's just sad to attack people anonymously with false accusations. My first post was June 25 2023, so it's not "starting up another blog". Something you would get with a quick search.

I don't allow insults to anyone, and probably as you find the ask button, would have been equally easily read the bio where I say that criticize (which is different from hating or gossip) people for the mistakes they do is not hate or gossip.

Probably the ones that should find any other way to pass the time are her fans that after all this time still make looks like the bad ones who calls out Grace (which is clearly not related to Stranger Things because she still does mistakes).

I think it's pretty childish.

https://www.tumblr.com/spotlight-critique/809811201939963904/saw-on-grace-twitch-that-she-changed-her-banner

She changes her banner very often, when she's using her vtuber model, her regular streaming mode (also depending what type of mood she's in after a backlash)

She also said at TIFF 2022 that her acting career is "all just luck" 😒 lucky that she has parents that are actors if you ask anyone else

To be honest, I'm not sure how much relevant her mother still is in Hollywood. She opened a restaurant, or something like that, and has no relevant roles since 2001.

Saw on Grace twitch that she changed her banner back to her vt models.

The thing is I don't believe she's passionate about vtubing because she only did this because she wasnt gaining traction as much with her normal streams and I think she also was trying lie low after some sort of scandal she got involved in. I can't remember which one though.

Which reminded me when someone asked her how she got on front page when she debuted as a vt. She said that she's been streaming for 3 years and you can tell she started getting nervous to talk about how she has connections and she didn't naturally gain traction. She's only popular on twitch because she was on stranger things.

Transcript from the vt debut stream: "and… I… um… I don't know! I… yeah. Weee… I-I go to like twitch events and I made some contacts there and then I emailed them asking if I could go on the front page for my debut and they said 'yes!' I-I just got really lucky. Um… Yup."

She does the same thing about how she hates being called a nepo baby even though her dad was the one to put her in his movies giving her a jumpstart in her acting career.

Wasn't her banner like that since she lunched her vtube model? I don't remember. Last week Casper (her father) got on the front page too. She definitely was advantaged. I remember that, she seem that was calculating what to say, didn't seem sincere at all.

It's so funny how the vanquinns still supported joseph after getting angry at him for dating dc and still post about him while he was with her and after their breakup

but now that joseph was seen in public with his new girlfriend and holding hands with her while leaving the baftas after party and it's been silence from the vanquinns

but they're probably shading joseph's new girlfriend on twitter right now and while blaming gvd for not being his girlfriend and letting this relationship happen at the same time

I haven't read anything about it, but could it be that they're making sub posts about it. Vanquinns are like this, they talk behind your back and by posting sub-posts like Grace does. Hellcheer after all was a nice ship until in become toxic and people lost the difference between fantasy shipping two fictional characters and reality shipping two real people, which made them poke their nose into their private life. Which is very toxic.

Grace left under Johnnie's latest post 18 comments with her account and 5 with her vtube account. This is so toxic, like a dog pissing to mark her territory level.

🤦

She's a rules for thee but not for me kind of person

Coincidentally this is the same stream when she told her normal fans to stop telling her about her vq besties bullying other fans and ash because she 'carefully selected them' and they made her happy. And she says 'Let's all be nice' but continued to be a bystander of vqs bullying fans and ash. But the moment Johnnie is in her life and the vqs harass Johnnie, she finally speaks up, but only her sake.

She "carefully selected them"? Absolutely not, I remember that Grace has been criticized because selected her mod based on how much they spammed her chat and were people that didn't miss a stream. So selected them based on how much licked her ass. Which is what "makes her happy". She's just hiding behind using, manipulating people and fake positivity (which ironically it's a Johnnie's song).

When it's about her, she changes her mind?

Didn't she do the same thing? Anyway, two as five months aren't both much, it's the same! And because she's 28 doesn't make it better than a 26 years old. She's so manipulative. And what's that face?

Grace changes everyone that becomes close to her. She’s a monster manipulator.

Before the relationship, Johnnie was honestly kinda funny. His career with Jake was thriving. Now, he seems so much more flat and miserable and looks like he doesn’t take great care of himself. I was never a Johnnie fan - This was all observations after leaving Grace’s fandom and reading up on Johnnie since I had no idea who he was.

Also, her ex mod has completely changed, completely moved on from Grace and appears to be living her best life away from fandoms. Grace, however, still isn’t over her. Vanquinns, Johnnie fans and Grace’s remaining bootlickers are 100% the way they are from how Grace treats them. She was the one that created the parasocial friendships and influenced them into bad behaviours.

So true! She always leans towards the side that is currently in her favor. She changes her opinions to manipulate others (watch the video I just posted), this is why she must stay away from Johnnie. He already has depression and tried to off himself, and such a manipulative person like Grace is not good for him.

This explains a lot how she blurred her own identity to be Chrissy because in her mind, Chrissy got to flirt with Eddie. This is one of the biggest reasons how she became so obsessed with hellcheer.

I kind of vibe with Johnnie's music and I like it, but what you just said it's something I don't really like about him, he keeps on reinforcing Grace's obsession with hellcheer. This makes me so mad. Why is he doing this?? He's supposed to be disturbed by this.

Grace publicly acknowledging vanquinn timestamp 22:00

The way she worded it "I definitely lost a number of people because they shipped me with my previous costar and so seeing me hard launch someone they're really mad at me" she made it sound like that the reason why she kept her vanquinn fans is because she cares about the number of fans she had and not how her fans are like also she did hard launch Ash by inviting him to the TIFF 2022 and taking photos with him and the red carpet not only that they already have photos together on social media

Don't be acting all "boohoo my fans hate me because I'm in a relationship now 🥺" you were in a relationship with Ash when you became best friends with vanquinns the only difference is that you let them attack ash by staying quiet because they fed you hellcheer and vanquinn fantasies

I'm so angry that Johnnie's fans are now saying on X that they will protect Grace at all costs. It really pisses me off. Grace is manipulative and a liar, but those of us who acknowledge this are called haters, jealous, toxic, parasocials and misogynists. Maybe now she defends Johnnie because he supports her tainted hellcheer obsession.

Not sure if I sent that previous message as anonymous (the one about graces interview about her dad's device) tumblrs been acting up about messages that's supposed be anonymous being sent as not anonymous

If your post is the one before this one, yes! Don't you worry! 😊

An interview back in 2015.

What's the best piece of advice you've received?

My dad advises me to not take advice from other people… He's always encouraging me to be my own person and to be responsible for everything I do, good or bad. Which is really helpful when you're trying to figure yourself out. The world can take everything from you but always remember who you are. When the world turns to shit, don't act like shit.

"be my own person" spent over 2 years clinging on to identity of Chrissy, not as an individual, but as Eddie's girlfriend and not stopping the allegations of being involved with Joseph romantically.

"be responsible for everything I do" she has never apologized and always creates a whole movement/situation to distract the problem she caused because her victim 'woe is me' act didn't work

"When the world turns to shit, don't act like shit." 🤦🏼I don't even have words anymore, other than that she didn't follow her dad's advice that long.

It's sad people call us haters or misogynist, everything you said is true.

She always hides behind her fans and uses the excuse that we are attacking her as woman and call us misogynists to justify her. However, criticizing someone's actions is not related to their sex and should not be used as an excuse to avoid criticism!

She stopped clinging her character at the Greenhouse Academy to cling in a stronger and more toxic way to her character in Stranger Things. She's fake, and it's sad that we're being the ones pointed as the enemy.

Nah, she left a "familiar environment" just to join a bigger and more toxic one, getting her fans hyped up supporting her own ship and constantly remembering us of her rough 10 minutes of screen time.

🤭

sorry just gonna rant here: grace and the vanquinn fandom ruined chrissy and hellcheer for many of us. chrissy had personality, she had a backstory, she had struggles. hellcheer was wholesome and cute. there was so much chemistry. what do grace and vanquinn do? they shrunk her personality to only being eddie's little helpless girlfriend. grace also objectified herself by constant rushing towards joseph and the medias side to constantly make her look like a victim on certain situation that she started. vanquinns saying the most homophobic sht like calling 'stds' and grace was compliant by staying silent while watching her vanquinns mod and her vanquinn besties bully other shippers and fans. thanks to them, they made us all other hellcheer shippers look homophobic and misogynistic. its not to say that all steddie shippers are innocent but to go so far as to say anti-lgbtq+ rhetoric just because of a mlm ship, but then claim to support lgbtq+ is just contradicting and disgusting behavior. dont get me started on how so many vanquinns said that dont care if chrissy is 16 and eddie is 20 because its fictional, but the moment they see someone ship platonic hellcheer, they get all riled up and claim its misogynistic. i grew up like chrissy. that is why she was one of my favorite characters and for grace to open up about her similar struggles made me heard. but to see her bodyguards of vanquinn to say that people who don't ship hellcheer aren't real fans makes my struggles unworthy and invalidating just because of a stupid ship war of both fictional and real people. vanquinns and grace gave off the impression that a woman's story is not worthy unless a man is there to 'fix' it by being in a relationship.

I agree with you. There are very few chill ones, but most of hellcheers are completely bonkers. There's nothing wrong about shipping, the problem is that most have unhinged behaviors. Some of them became Grace's mods because of their obsession, and Grace fed their obsession and the obsession of all the other hellcheers. And don't get me started on people who have lost the line between fantasy and reality, posting pictures of Joseph and Grace at conventions (so out of character and are there just as actors) and saying, "Uwu hellcheer!".

I remember when Grace announced she was dating Johnnie. That same vanquinn posted

no one is in "their hellcheer era" be real ppl aren't hellcheer and i don't want to soil my image of them w shitty real world musicians thanks #text #hellcheer #y'all piss me off

ppl aren't hellcheer

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING

I think the point of that post sound more like an insult to Johnnie ("shitty real world musicians") and to who is comparing him to Eddie saying Grace is in her "hellcheer era". This person is known to throw subtle shade at Johnnie, and the reason I think you misunderstood that post is because she throws shade at Johnnie and still reposts hellcheer art (the newest 16h ago https://www.tumblr.com/cunninghamchrissie/807554229734703104). So if she hates on Grace's partner and post hellcheer, she's a basic vq, and didn't mean "ppl aren't hellcheer". It's more a "Don't you dare to call that hellcheer and I don't want to soil my image of hellcheer with shitty real world musicians (Johnnie)".

Post says "Your misbehaving boyfriend is not funny to me"

The vq put in the tag "#@/quirly"

I know Johnnie has some controversies but I don't think there are any controversies about him right now. At least vqs recognize that Johnnie is Grace's boyfriend and not a fake boyfriend to cover up her 'relationship' with Joseph.

Posted this an hour ago, this loser is still mad over Grace and Joseph not dating. 🤦 Well, I think because Grace and Johnnie (poor Johnnie) are clearly in a relationship, not the vqs made up bullsh+ that because Joseph touched her arm they are together. All the "controversies" about Johnnie are very blown up by haters and delusional vq like this one. Johnnie did mistakes, but are not as bad as people are making them. Are things out of contest or accidental mistakes that he apologized for.

https://www.tumblr.com/spotlight-critique/807282370074099712/this-is-just-a-very-small-snippet-from-a-long

Grace asked Johnnie in early August 2024 if he wanted to go with her to emo night, while she was on a casual relationship with Dylan Brenner since July 2024 which was sort of public.

Dylan would post Instagram stories while at Grace's place and Grace would share his stories to her Instagram stories, she also posted his bands album supporting them. July 2024 she talked to her friends during a stream how she likes this one band, especially the bass because "the bass spanks". She would also encourage her fans to see his show. I can't remember if she did buy tickets for her fans. It was somewhere in August 2024 that Grace stopped following Dylan. It was probably when Johnnie and Grace agreed to start dating and become official.

It's was actually in February 2023 that Grace and Johnnie met at Amouranth's party. Grace was still in a relationship with Ash, but didn't bring him to the party, instead bringing a friend named Jocelyn. Jocelyn thought that Johnnie was cute but was too nervous to talk to him. Grace talked to Johnnie for her, but instead Johnnie was attracted to Grace. They did talk for a little bit, but nothing came out of it. Sometime later, Johnnie contacts Grace if they would like to hang out, but Grace turns him down and explains that she's in a romantic relationship with someone else, Ash. Johnnie admit in an interview that he would still like her posts and comment, in the time between meeting and now dating.

Another Anon made a great and detailed timeline. https://www.tumblr.com/spotlight-critique/807546271776833536/heres-the-very-long-timeline-of-graces

Johnnie asked Grace through DM to hang out together but she turned him down because she was still in a relationship with Ash.

So, yes, was with Ash, but actually in the beginning she rejected Johnnie.
