Chrissy was still looking around the auditorium and at all of Mrs. Wheeler’s hard work. The woman had gone above and beyond to make this a magical experience for the students and it really showed. Sometimes, and she would never say this out loud for fear of the guilt strangling her, she felt a little envious of Nancy and Mike because their mom was genuinely invested and supportive of them. She found herself wishing that her own mom was like this instead of being invested in... well, best not to dwell on those dark thoughts, not while Karen was being so lovely.

When Karen slipped her arm around her waist and pulled her over to where the snacks would be laid out Chrissy felt a small pang of dread. It wasn’t that Karen was making her uncomfortable but she could already hear her own mother in her head making remarks about what would be on offer and what Chrissy was allowed to have; which would be next to none of it. “Your secret is safe with me, Mrs. Wheeler.~” The cheerleader offered a little giggle before miming zipping her lips and throwing away the key. “I think it will make those kids feel really special, like someone is thinking of them enough to bake them a little treat.”

At her request to come over and help her bake said cakes Chrissy brightened up a little. She’d never been able to cook or bake things with her mom, they didn’t really have that kind of relationship and now it was being offered to her Chrissy realised she needed it. Craved it. “I don’t want to be a bother, Mrs. Wheeler... but I think I’d really like to come over and help, if it’s really okay that I do?”

@wheelerwinemom​ sent: ❝ i want today to be about me and you. ❞

      When was the last time Mike had spent time with mom? He talked to her at the dinner table sometimes, but it was always just the typical conversations about school and whatnot. The easy stuff. Besides that, they hadn’t actually talked or done something together in quite a while. Part of it was because he was just so busy with other things. Important things. Things that he couldn’t tell his parents about, because that would mean putting them in danger too. While their children were out fighting monsters and frequently finding themselves in life threatening situations, they were living their lives blissfully unaware of the Upside Down and the monsters that existed within it.

      ❝ What’s so special about today? I mean, why now do you want a day for us? ❞ Mike asked, turning to face his mom after he’d finished cleaning up the rest of the campaign. They’d fallen out of playing Dungeons & Dragons for a while and so the table didn’t get as much use at it used to, but it was nice to be able to get back into it. He just wished Will was here. Hawkins wasn’t the same without him. ❝ Did you forget my birthday is in April? ❞ Obviously, it was only a joke. Perhaps if he was talking to his dad though, it wouldn’t be. That guy was absent even when he was around, it wouldn’t surprise him if he forgot his children’s birthdays if it wasn’t for Karen reminding him. ❝ Seriously though. If this is because Will and El moved away, you don’t need to try to help. I’ll be okay, mom. I am okay. ❞

@wheelerwinemom liked for a handwritten note from eddie boi.

          ❛  at  the  risk  of  sounding  very  lame,  ❜  after  all,  he’s  sure  that  most  twenty  one  year  olds  don’t  want  to  hang  out  with  their  mom.  he  does,  though.  he’s  never  home,  so  he’s  going  with  that  excuse,  though  he  really  doesn’t  need  an  excuse.  ❛  do  you  wanna  rent  a  movie  and  make  some  overly  buttered  popcorn?  i’ll  even  let  you  pick  the  movie,  ❜  and  won’t  make  her  sit  through  another  horror.

@wheelerwinemom clicked the ♡ for Noah

Noah carefully climbed back in through his window, desperately hoping his mother hadn't realized he snuck out in the first place. not really being known to keep the best company, and usually ending up in trouble one way or another; usually by sneaking out for parties in the middle of the night.

hi! i was wondering what your thoughts were on the last episode of mindhunter? i just finished watching, but i was super confused because i thought that after the last episode there’d be another one? do you recognize that feeling in any way? like im not sure how to describe it, but it left me feeling v confused (but i loved the series!!) because despite the blow up it didnt feel like a series finale?. So what are your thoughts on that final episode, if you don’t mind sharing? have a lovely day!

oh,  i totally know how you feel,  sweetheart !!!   &  i do recognize that feeling because i would have loved to watch more  &  see how holden gets through the entire mess that is his life when the credits roll for the last time in ep. 10,   in my opinion it’s also the LOGICAL CULMINATING POINT OF THE ENTIRE FIRST SEASON,  with holden sort of finally taking in the degree of emotional damage his job has done/does to him.   he remembers the various warnings he’s received throughout the previous episodes as he’s lying on the hospital floor,  shaking  &  struggling for air :   there’s bill telling him to  be  careful or  his  attitude  is  gonna  bite  him  in  the  ass,  the school principal from ep. 8 explaining how  his  world  has  made  him  paranoid,  as well as various other hints from people around him.   holden’s remained entirely deaf to them so far into the show,  but he’s REACHED THE BREAKING POINT,  both emotionally  &  physically.   his breakup from debbie   ━   while he remained impassive  &  unaffected,  of course it had an impact   ━  +  what he wrongly considers to be a betrayal from bill during the transcript redaction investigation  +  the panic from his meeting with k.emper…   they all pile up,  leading to one of the most poignant scenes of the season.

so,  while i definitely understand what you mean,  i feel like it couldn’t have ended better ??   it’s THE PERFECT CLIMAX TO HOLDEN’S GROWTH from an almost socially awkward,  immature  &  somewhat cold boy to a seasoned,  distressed  &  emotionally involved man who’s come to the realization that he’s not as immune  &  detached as he assumed.   i’ve not seen such a remarkably smooth  &  moving character development on tv in a while   ( it’s breaking bad-level at this point ).   not to mention that,  with everything that’s happened within holden’s unit at the fbi,  it all sets the scene for an amazing start in s2   ( +  the b.tk killer plot that the first season has been hinting at from the start ).

          “ HEY... MOM-----? ” HE HESITATES. “ CAN... uh... can you teach me how to cook...? ”

"You cannot escape the ugly jumpers, Steven."

@wheelerwinemom.

Glancing south, Steve can see the upside-down version of huge knitted snowflakes and gingerbread men sprawled all over the sweater he's wearing. Then he looks back up, mouth quirking into a smile. “...Yeah, I, uh... guess not. It's okay; this kinda red is 'my color'.” Or so he's been told. Burgundy, to be specific. “Thanks, Mrs. Wheeler.”
