Hellcheer are the moon and sun btw just not in the ways you might think

🌙 Chrissy is the moon, actually, a part of her always concealed to everyone but the sun, waxing and waning with the seasons - some days she's fully there and some days she's the smallest version of herself and some days she's not there at all (but she always comes back). She's glowing and beautiful and everyone loves her for it but it's another entity's light she's reflecting (she's still learning how to shine on her own). People love her for her calm nature but forget that she also has the strength to create tides that can destroy you with a single wave.

☀️ Eddie is the sun, burning hot and bright and loud. People frequently find him hard to handle for long periods of time (or at all) and generally desire some degree of separation. He has his ups and downs but he's always there, and people silently fear the distant implosion they feel is inevitable. He's intense and relentless, yes, but people also lose sight of the fact that he's also nurturing and warm. When he's mellowed out he's thoughtful and caring. He inspires and gives light and life to those that truly appreciate him, brings excitement and energy to his surroundings.

(So it's a good thing that Chrissy's favorite season is summer and Eddie's always been a night owl)

Dustin: You don’t have a marriage certificate?

Chrissy: Eddie got drunk and shredded it while screaming “Try and return me without a receipt now.”

Eddie: And you never will.

I hc that Chrissy used to have a crush on Steve (because who doesn’t uh?) before dating Jason, not a serious crush or anything just a “he’s kinda cute” thing. And then Steve starts to date Nancy Wheeler and she starts to date Jason and she forgets about him.

So, one summer day after breaking up with Jason and becoming friends with Eddie, she and Eddie are hanging out at lovers’ lake, smoking weed and talking. Just a normal evening for them. Until suddenly, Steve Harrington walks by and he waves at Eddie and Eddie waves back. Chrissy turns her head towards Eddie, astonished.

“I can’t believe you’re friends with Steve Harrington.” She says.

“I wouldn’t call us friends, we are acquaintances, we’ve hanged out a few times because of Henderson. “ Eddie replies, shaking his head.

Chrissy is still looking at him with wide eyes, not being able to process the thought of Eddie and Steve hanging out. And then, she remembers she used to fancy him a few years ago and she tells Eddie that.

And well, Eddie starts to feel a little jealous because if she liked Steve Harrington and then Jason Carver, there’s absolutely no way she’d like someone like him. He’s the polar opposite of those guys, he’s not athletic nor popular. He’s not even that charismatic (not that he’d ever admit that he finds Steve anything else that annoying, he’s got a reputation to maintain, and befriending jocks would ruin it). So yup, he feels a bit insecure, but he’s not going to tell her so instead he tries to joke about it.

“It looks like you have a type Cunningham.”

She frowns.

“What do you mean?” She asks.

“Tall, atletic, popular jocks.” He tries to explain, each word twisting his heart painfully. “First Steve and then Carver. At least Harrington is not an asshole.”

He avoids her gaze while saying this, fearing that if he looks at her, she’d see straight through him.

“I see.” Chrissy replies, biting her lip. “Well, I did used to have a type. Not anymore hopefully.”

“Oh. And what is your type now?”

“Mmm… I still like taller guys. Maybe longer hair, a bit rougher on the edges but kind. The kind of guy who likes rock and dnd but who also likes to goof around and make me smile.” She takes a drag on the joint. “Oh, and he has to like smoking weed too, but not too much. Just to relax once in a while.”

And although Eddie may be a little oblivious to some things, he doesn’t miss the point in what she’s saying, but he’s feeling a bit insecure still. Maybe she’s describing another person entirely and he’s just too delusional. After all, she’s Chrissy Cunningham and he’s Eddie Munson, there’s no way she would fall for someone like him, right? So, instead of acting on it, he jokes:

“Careful Cunningham or else I’m going to start thinking you’re describing me.”

Chrissy looks at him straight in the eye, serious in a way he hadn’t ever seen her be.

“And what if I am?”

“You can’t be serious.”

“I…” She starts. She looks at him one more time and the raises her knees to hug herself. “Listen, it doesn’t have to mean anything if you don’t want to. We’ll pretend I haven’t said anything and move on.”

“I love you.” He blurts out.

And she smiles at him, so wide he’s afraid her cheeks are going to pop. God he has never been more happy in his entire life.

We know how happy Eddie looks when he arrives to meet Chrissy (and him being “really revved up” in the cafeteria/taunting Jason cause he already knew he was meeting her later. I mentioned this here), BUT he’s not only happy, he arrives IN FLIRTY MODE. Why do I say that? Let’s see...

When Eddie arrives it seems to me obvious that he bumps into her on purpose. Then he says “Sorry. Didn’t mean to scare you" and laughs as if the situation was funny. His demeanor only changes when he sees she's really scared (“You okay?”), but...

Why does he (happily) bump into someone he isn't close with and that's just a customer and the queen of high school/a cheerleader? (Ok, we know now that he has a crush on her, but here we didn't know yet!) So, WHY?

I think it's cause he probably thinks that acting like a clown by bumping into her is FUNNY. Because... that's his way of flirting with her. Seeing him doing that doesn’t remind you of when he acted like he had been shot in the chest cause she didn’t remember him?

I thought that was the “official moment" he started flirting with her (aw the music) but now I think he was only reactivating his flirty mode from before. He came to meet his crush, Chrissy Cunningham, with the intention of being flirty from the beginning.

Only after he sees Chrissy’s expression he looks worried and asks if she’s okay. After that, when she's still scared he changes his attitude 💔 (can’t barely look at her and keeps wanting to go) cause he thinks she’s scared of him/dislikes him.

So yeah, I think we can conclude that Eddie went to that “drug deal” with the intention of flirting with his crush from the very first minute. I salute you, Eddie Munson. You are truly a hero.

And that’s it. Just the facts! Or maybe just my thoughts 😂

Sorry for the awkward/mysterious pauses in the text. This was originally a thread I made for twitter, but I wanted to share it here too. The original is here. (There's another video there too 😂)

eddie holding chrissy's green scrunchie, saying he used to hate this shade of green, because he associated it with the worst place in the world to him. and now he's growing to appreciate it more, because he has something happier to associate it with. eddie munson, you are a sap, she says.

[glitterslag]

Chrissy has a little stuffed rabbit from when she was a kid and although she doesn't need it any more she makes sure that when she's making her bed each morning, she sits it up neatly on top of her big pile of pillows :)))

Anyway, when she goes off to college she gives the bunny to Eddie to take care of to remind him of her and he sleeps with it every single night and he low-key gets bummed out when it stops smelling like Chris :(((

(p.s. literally vecna himself could not get this information out of eddie but I know bc chrissy told me)

grease inspired eddissy headcanons!

have you guys watched grease? i love this movie so much and i can think of so many good headcanons! plus chrissy and sandy have the same vibes, even wear the same hairstyle. and sandy it's also a cheerleader like!!!!!! i wonder if it was an inspiration? i don't think eddie have much of that danny zuko vibe since zuko it's more the popular type, but they're both rebels in their way. gonna drop some headcanons now (no vecna au)! never done it before so it might be a little messy but i'm just letting my imagination run wild 💘

eddie and chrissy had a thing in elementary school that lasted just for a day - that day were she saw him performing with corroded coffin. they never spoke with each other again till high school, when she asks him for drugs in order to escape her traumas. they still feel the exact same way for each other.

chrissy being a pink lady. that's it, that's the headcanon. i just think is so cute, absolutely her vibe. might need a fanart of this later (not begging someone to do this but i actually am)

in grease sandy and danny had to deal with the fact that they're both very different and it's the same for eddissy and their social cicles.

that scene where sandy watch danny on a car race but instead it's chrissy watching eddie playing d&d lol

drive-in movie date 🥺 and a prom date ofc!

at the graduation day he would try to look like a 'good guy' thinking it would make her happy, just to see her looking like a rebel to make him happy too. (also begging for a fanart of this lmao i just cant draw guys)

eddie and chrissy going on a group date with his and her friends at an amusement park later on the graduation day

might do a grease inspired moodboard for the babies later💕

Social media au:

Eddie runs a satirical Instagram account called hawkins--official where he posts memes and fake headlines and stuff shitting on the town because he hates it here and it's fun. Tons of people follow it and they all know it's run by a Hawkins High student they just don't know who.

Anyways, he posts shit on his story all the time when he's at different places (like a picture of steve's pool and "who else at the Harrington House?"). People often respond to it (and get ghosted) or they just show up trying to figure out who it is behind the account but he's already long gone.

Until one day he posts a picture of the ferris wheel and says "yo who else at the fucking fun fair". Not even five minutes later his phone pings because someone has responded to his story. He's about to ignore it, but then he sees who it's from.

Chrissy🌼 replied to your story

I am lol!

He blinks down at his phone and decides, y'know... what the hell. He's bored and the day that he doesn't lunge at the opportunity to be within ten feet of Chrissy like a dog for scraps is the day he drops dead.

You

Well howdy, Cunningham

(Yeah, because that's cool.)

Chrissy🌼

If you're still near the ferris wheel come over to the popcorn stand

I um

I got stood up so I have an extra

Oh and don't worry I'll keep your identity a secret 🤫

Eddie's never looked up so fast in his life. As soon as he finds the popcorn stand he makes a beeline for it, keeping an eye out for Chrissy.

He's thinking of something suave to say when he finds her, but she beats him to it. As soon as she sees him she waves and holds out a little paper bag of popcorn. "Hello, Mr. Hawkins Official."

Eddie takes the popcorn and looks away grinning. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Chrissy hums like okay, sure and smiles into her drink.

He was gonna play coy but she's just so cute that he can't help it. "How'd you know?"

Chrissy does this like. Full body wiggle that just screams see, I was right! "You posted a picture at Benny's a few weeks ago and I could see your reflection in the window," she whispers conspiratorially.

Eddie clicks his tongue. "Damn. I thought I was being pretty covert."

She shrugs. "I don't think anyone else has caught on yet. They don't wanna believe it's you."

"True," he laughs. "So...you got stood up, huh?"

Chrissy nods. "Big surprise, right?"

Eddie snorts. "Well, then. As the official representative of the town of Hawkins, Indiana, would you grant me the opportunity to show you around one of our finest attractions?" He sweeps an arm out dramatically at the fair before offering her his hand.

For a second he thinks she's going to turn him down, but right before he can drop his hand she takes it, grins, and says "Only if you promise to take my picture at the top of the ferris wheel."

"Deal."

(He does, but that picture doesn't go on hawkins--official. It goes on his personal story, along with a matching post of him on Chrissy's.)
