Well, lads, we’ve caught up on Stranger Things, much faster than I probably should have, and the thoughts are a comin’, and I can’t stop listening to Rock You Like a Hurricane, and for some reason Super Trouper? Blame the Eddie/Chrissy fanfics I’ve been reading for that. SPOILERS BELOW. I just need to rant.
The Duffers love killing off cinnamon rolls, golly gee. Bob, Alexei, and now EDDIE? MY METALHEAD FIDGETY CHILD? Unacceptable. I am packing my rucksack as we speak and venturing out into the less cruel world of AUs.
I am platonically in love with Max and Robin, and no one can stop me. They are the sort of confident disasters I aspire to be.
*Joyce and Hopper kiss* *I punt myself directly into the sun* *I am cheering and popping open sparkling cider the whole way*
Season Three was my favorite. I loved the aesthetic with the bright colors and the mall and how DARN cute the kids and Steve were together. So many wonderful and hilarious pairings. So much glorious screentime. Beautiful. Bravo. Also El’s confidence boost and Max’s adorable friendship with her was just amazing. 11/10 would watch El twirl in front of the mirror in a cute romper again.
So THAT’S where the Dangerous Dude Sipping A Cherry Slushie In A Car meme came from.
I don’t want to hate Mike, Finn does such a good job. I dunno. He’s being such a lunkhead at the moment.
Pro tip for nerds like me who like creepy stuff but are also totally creeped out: the mute button is your best friend. Keeps it from being so scary when you can’t hear it.
Another pro tip: Vecna’s backstory is much less scary when the show is on mute and you’re playing Happy H. Christmas on your phone.
I love watching the friendships grow and change as the seasons go on.
I’m running out of things to say. Eddie Munson. Steve “The Mom” Harrington. Nancy with guns. Jonathan Byers in season two. Dustin’s smile. Will wearing that dumb purple cape and hat. Joyce is adorable.
If you’re starved for Eddie/Chrissy content because they really were just SO cute and we were robbed, I recommend these fics:

Sorry the first one is on chapter five…I’m reading it currently and I’m on mobile so I can’t fix it.
