And with that, the 2025 season comes to an end... thank fuck lmao I want a brand new start even if it won’t change anything but, c’est la vie. I’ll love some of y’all instead!

@hairoic: where to even begin.. you were an unexpected blessing. someone who i believe was meant to come my way because honestly? i am a terribly shy person, so to break the ice ooc after a few ic interactions was a big deal. i thought you were worth the dreaded "hey, thanks, that is so nice!" that is the default of most ice breakers but you didn't default, you actually talked to me! truthfully, i was still shy because i thought you were amazing and could not believe someone so authentic and talented would give us the time of day but we hit it off so well. you became a really good friend and through our friendship we started to world build cheerscoops, then created more worlds for more ships. and, really, truly.. i don't think chrissy would have been as fleshed out if it weren't for your support and excitement to let her be part of your characters worlds. none of it especially would not be possible if it weren't for your friendship. i know our lives and jobs our pulling us in different directions now so our time, chats and streaming nights have been unfortunately scarce (this is why i always scream how much i miss you) but don't think for one second that anyone can replace the bond you solidified in my world. i love you, (straw)berry! i genuinely hope 2026 is the year everything truly works out for you in your favor.

@outsidermunson: danielle! oh my god. where have you been hiding all of my life? you are someone who i feel i have known forever and it has only been a year, apparently??? i love that. in this day and age, it is really so hard to find a connection like that. real life has been something else and i know you understand, but through it all, you have been so wonderful and encouraging. you make the toughest days so easy and thanking you for your friendship is really not enough! i am really loving how much closer we have gotten and how much you talk! i love that you have become a safe place and we always see eye to eye with everything. on top of that, i love that we are building such genuine relationships between our characters. i don’t know what i did to deserve someone as talented and wonderful as you, but gosh, i am keeping you. our hellcheer has been such a dream come true, and i especially love how we didn’t mean for them to start off with a genuine meet-cute but we did! there was no plotting and yet it looks like there was and ugh, love that for them and for us. thank you for being such an incredible friend and for all the barbie play dates! you are an extremely lovely soul. may 2026 bless you abundantly!

@hagantm: listen. l i s t e n. i was not expecting you and i mean it in the most thankful way. i may or may not have squealed excitedly (i totally did) when i saw your follow! and i really appreciated you reaching out because that was the turning point for us and chrissy and tommy. you make me excited to want to really go in deep with their backstory and i know we have made tiny mentions and i just love that you understand side characters are just as important as the main characters. without side characters, a story could not flourish and you get that. thank you for coming into our lives, i’m really so excited to end a year and begin a new one with all of the adventures and so much more. and i hope your adventures outside of tumblr are incredible and any dreams you have come true!

@alwaysanangcl & @cfthesoul: the dream team. holy hell. i could write sonnets! you both deserve sonnets. i will not speak of the evil we have endured haha but if it were not for it, i would have never gained a girlhood back. my life as dark as it became, would not have even seen light if it weren’t for you both. you ladies are so incredibly beautiful, inside and out, drop dead gorgeous! angels in every single way. anyone who gets to call y’all a friend, i don’t have to hope, i know they feel grateful and so very blessed. i know i do, from the bottom of my heart. thank you for giving me such authentic friendship and a true girlhood! i hope we can get some much needed girl time in the very near future. i love you all so very much!! toasting to you both and yours for a prosperous, fun and creative new year!

@hawkinshellraiser: are you my actual guardian angel? that’s what you have been for me. from my very first loss, to the one that really destroyed the person i used to be which i really hate to admit, to the most recent one that felt like was my last purpose. and i know that’s not true and it will take a while for me to find a purpose again, but truly, your friendship has been very impactful and one of the most meaningful ones i have gained from rp. i know life has been just as unkind for you but you have me in your corner, too. always. i really love you SO much, j.

@hellfirelives: aether! wow. truly WOW. you came into my life at a really crazy and miserable time and i am so sorry that you didn’t know the version of me that wasn’t always like that, but i need you to know that you are a friend who also kept me afloat and i will never forget your kindness and acceptance throughout it all. thank you for allowing my barbie to be part of all of your barbies world!

@batweildingbabysitter: don’t think i have forgotten about you!! jesus christ, you and aether astound me and i love seeing you all on my dash. truly, i am such a fangirl at this rate! which brings me back to not forgetting about you because you are someone i would love to get to know more into the new year. i followed you for reasons! you are doing such an amazing job with steve and i am so excited you joined the madness through him. i can’t wait to talk more with you, because i love to talk people’s ears off too - i am actually super annoying. and of course, i can’t wait to do so much plotting because i think you are incredible with what you create.

@zoomingupthathill: BEE!! i told you before how my favorite character is max and that still stands as of this day and your max? THE REAL DEAL. she is our favorite girl! you would think, oh if she is my favorite character, i would have picked her up as a muse but no, she is the one character i just adore and related too when i was her age. i was the girl with the skateboard and one brother issue and had a hard time fitting in. it was like, watching one of my unborn kids hahaha. and yours feels like that and it’s just incredible how much you have nailed everything about her. it is EMMY worthy. on top of that? you are so kind and i look forward to talking more with you and getting to know the beautiful mun behind a very adored character.

@havvkinsqueen: I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE OFFICIALLY IN MY LIFE AND STUCK WITH ME!!! yes, caps lock was necessary. no, honestly, you have been the sweetest soul for years and to have you as someone who i can now call a friend has been one of the greatest gifts 2025 surprised me with! i cannot wait to get to know you more and talk with you into the new year! a fresh start for all of the horrors we have endured, how chrissy core of us haha, but from the bottom of my heart — i adore you, immensely!!

@stringswoven: CAPRICORN SISTER!! what a discovery and it made so much sense because wow.. you have been so kind and always at the ready to write and holy moses, can you write! you are one of the most coziest writers to grace my dash. i love what you create with others and it’s just always a treat when i get to experience that with you. i am so happy that i followed you and you have been so sweet and fun to interact with! your girls mean so much to mine and i look forward to getting to know you more in the new year and with it, do some exciting plotting.

@freaksandfangs: and i saved the best for last!! your friendship has meant more to me than words can really sum up. you were the best friend a girl could ask for and really need during my really dark year. i am so sorry you had go through some of it with me, but without you, i would not have gained the friendships you brought to me and fixed. you are someone who i really hope to meet some day! for now, i am thankful i still have you as my friend and writing partner. i love you so very much!!

SEASON 5: The Cunningham’s.

[chrissyfied]

* @hairoic & @outsidermunson // continuation.

Oh, she was very aware that they weren’t going to let her keep whatever thoughts that came to mind to herself. That’s not at all how Chrissy was around Steve and Eddie. She actually spoke to them about everything, without much of a filter, and she was rarely seen without them. To the point where, of course, the town fashioned new gossip to a rather scandalous degree. At least, scandalous to the town’s terms, because the more she put some thought into it, the more clearly she was beginning to see why they saw it that way. Particularly in the moment when she caught the amused glance Steve gave Eddie before seeking for more information on what was possibly going on in her head.

Here’s the thing, as much as times have changed, Chrissy is still well, Chrissy. “Well, umm, wild as in.. you’ll probably both think I’m actually crazy.” It’s a serious matter to her, in the sense that she doesn’t want to ruin what they all had already or even risk losing them both. Still, she wouldn’t have spoken up about it if she wasn’t certain, and she notes how well they know her on that end. “Just.. we already have the town talking about us, making them think we’re actively dating when we’re only playing their fiddles. So, I was thinking…” she places her hands on the table like she placed an imaginary file to a proposition, her smile one for deceiving because of how naturally sweet features were, but Steve and Eddie? She couldn’t fool them if she even tried.

“Why don’t we just have fun and go on an actual date? No more pretending, no boundaries, just… us, enjoying a little more of each other’s company?” Because even the times they were pretending and simply putting on a show, it had its moments of feeling like it was real to something more was actually going on between the three. There was a deep trust between them and she couldn’t deny how safe it all made her feel.

[chrissyfied]

* @hairoic // continued.

One of the promises Chrissy made to Steve when they took a chance on each other, had been on how no matter the signficance of their relationship changed, she was always going to be the one he can fall into the arms of, metaphorically and literally. She had witnessed and been there for nearly every outcome of his life, and she never once left his side throughout it all. Even on the days when they were just friends, and some had witnessed her trying to keep up with Steve, along with Jason on her heels at the time.

Their mere foundation was built upon a friendship that both not only needed but even perhaps, craved for. At least, that's how Chrissy always felt. When Steve begins to speak, her attention is fully on him, while her hand sought out his to grasp like her way of anchoring him to keep him steady. "All the time." The confession is hard to set free, but even before Vecna targeted her, she remembered how hard it was to keep up with her studies in her senior year. How she was barely scraping by to actually graduate with the class of '86.

No one really prepared her for life after high school. Her parents, particularly her mother, bestowed their own projections onto their eldest that she began to silently rebel against it. "Is that what was going on in there?" His father sounded like a male version of her mother from what she did pick up, and it wasn't because she was nosy, it all had to do with how the volume of the argument grew immensely before the boiling point was hit.

"He's wrong, you know? Steve, look where we are. We live in the midwest.. it's not even in the top most traveled state in the nation. I think.. you know what I really think? He's jealous. Because you're not like him. Nothing like him, not even close. And he's doing everything to get in your head to hold you back."

It wasn't every day Chrissy was emotionally upset but she really couldn't stand how others and most especially his own parents continued to make Steve feel. She actually had to get up and do some pacing to keep her emotions in check. "I could go in there myself and tell him exactly how I feel! How he's the one that failed and he's scared.. scared because you're still young and you have your whole life ahead of you to get out of this town and find your true purpose!"

Before Steve, there was a time when Chrissy had a dream to move to Paris for a year right after high school. She even had a small trunk, devoted to the dream where maps and travel brochures were kept. But, that was the beauty of life, wasn’t it? At least, she saw it that way. People changed, grew, and through that growth dreams also changed. Since Steve changed her life for the better, her dreams became his, and the trunk was emptied out and filled with scrapbooks that were waiting to be filled from their time in Sorrento; even her grandparents gifted her with a camera, because she wanted to document it all. For them to look back on, show and share the stories with their friends, and in the future.. she hoped to share it with their children.

Chrissy’s eyes closed briefly, taking in the sound of the waves, breathing in the pure coastal breeze, and feeling the very gentle warmth of the sunset which matched in the way she felt in his arms on that terrance. Her head leans in naturally when she feels the softness of his lips leaving a kiss on her cheek, eyes opening from his whisper. To this day, he could still make her weak in the knees, and the emotion in her eyes were evidence to her knowing partly what he said to her. “I love you,” she whispers back, turning around in his arms to properly face and embrace him. The lighting from the sunset was heavenly on his features, almost like he was always meant to be here.

“We should go down there, go for a sunset stroll, and maybe some dinner?” It was obvious she was eager to take in the sights and sounds, but in a way where she wanted to be like the locals rather than a tourist. She really wanted to learn about her boyfriend’s roots, while living and experiencing the culture right beside him.

[chrissyfied]

* @hairoic // continuation.

Living in times of being quarantined and sanctioned off from the rest of the country could have its rather depressing and challenging moments, and yet, Chrissy was still able to live out the semi-picket fence life with her lover. It may have not been close to the dream of taking a month off to visit his grandmother, but it didn’t mean the dream was still not there, because it was. The specialized government and Vecna would have to do a lot more to completely get rid of dreaming of a better future for not just them, but their friends as well.

For now, she was basking in the afterglow of the first round, and clearly ready for the second to really work out for an appetite of a breakfast fitted for champions. Both had their respective jobs, and were team leaders for Crawls — a funny life — she would dryly state after going over the first draft of a plan before it’s final presentation. It not only worked out for them but also suited the former captains and once reigning high school king and queen.

Well known giggles filled the room when Steve finally made his choice. “See? That wasn’t so hard now, was it, Harrington?” A low purr of his name, hands already worshipping his body in her own way. Her touch undoubtedly delicate and seductive, but it’s always and mostly, loving. She can’t help but already moan in want with the way he kisses her, to the warmth of his body making more contact with her own as she raises a leg to wrap around his middle. “You. Always you.” He has her breathless just from a mere kiss, but it’s nothing to how it picks up as they resume their lovemaking.

An hour or so slipped on by and Chrissy volunteered to get a head start on breakfast, having been taught by the master chef himself, she was nowhere near his level per say but she also wasn’t that bad of a cook. Then again, maybe their friends were simply being kind… either way, no one had wound up sick and Steve had yet to honestly complain. “For a moment, I thought you went right back to sleep.” She teased when he finally joined her in the kitchen. God. He was beyond perfect in her eyes and she swore it was an every day growth.

Before abandoning the bacon, she turned off the burner — a fire hazard lesson she learned from the beginning. It traumatized her to the point where it took her awhile to want to do anything in the kitchen. “This is a nice color on you,” she commented on the sweater he chose. She smoothed out any creases, smiling in admiration before she took his face in her hands and leaned up to give him a kiss. “Ready for another day?” Him and Robin were quite famous in this town. Even more so with the littles in Chrissy’s class at Hawkins Daycare.

It’s written all over her face, that she is in no way thinking to make fun of him over his response to her. “Well. No, um, not exactly. Or, oh I don’t know. Maybe that’s one way to see it.” Because it wasn’t far off, either. For a moment, she did feel a little out of her mind. So, in a way, he was following what she just revealed to him. Even now, in her right mind, Steve was still capable of making her feel like the school girl she used to be with a secret crush on the heartthrob. “I don’t even know why I’m bringing it up now. But, I thought, if not now then.. when? We’ve seen first hand, if you don’t say or act on what you feel, then we may never get another chance.”

i want this. i want you.

✱˚｡⋆ ↪ 𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐄 .

The thoughts were only swirling through her mind, drowning from the body’s natural reaction from the romantic tension between the couple throughout the night. It wasn’t until they were finally alone in his room, where they collided into each other, with the door slamming shut as soon as their mouths met in a series of heated kisses fueled by passionate lust. Hands desperately reaching to grab, touch, pull and feel each other out through the material of their clothing. As touch starved as they equally were, it didn’t amount to how it left the other reeling for more.

All it took was a single moment so they could catch their breath and check in, hoping her knees didn’t give out on her with how gentle he was with the way his hands held her face while their eyes made it clear how much they wanted each other. Her own hands resting on his waist, slightest grip on the material of his dress shirt, small indication she was trying to regain composure. Sexually charged as the intentions and air around may have been, his words mixed with the tone of his voice made her heart swell.

One of her hands moved up to lovingly touch his face, blue eyes softening as they did when she felt herself caught deep in the moment. “I want you, too.” Her voice is warm and inviting while her hand seductively runs down his neck to meet the knot of his tie, not quite loosening it — just enough to where she could pull him down to capture his lips once more with her own and proceeding to guide them across the room to the bed.
