no one wants to shake laura cunningham harder than me when i remember chrissy’s full name is “chrissy elizabeth cunningham”. her parents (read: her mother) named her chrissy. not christine, not christina, chrissy. a childish nickname meant to preserve her girlishness, like a living doll, her entire life.
thank you, cinnamoroll (that's a childhood dream right there) 🧡💛 and i'm so charmed to see the rest of the Strangers included in this. as it should be!
order up for @greenscrunchy!
❝ not to me. ❞ such a simplistic response couldn't be enough, however — what robin dug for lay deeper. their own town and school system would have them think otherwise in half a heartbeat, for no purpose but....tradition? normalcy? years of being "queen" under her belt and chrissy cunningham had only just begun to ask how much of social status was pure distraction from something far more important. like well-being for example. maybe that's what robin was getting at, too. ❝ people are definitely obsessed with who is worth their time and who isn't because of popularity or some....some crap, and i think that's stupid now. especially now. ❞ chrissy nodded sharply, half to herself, an urging to keep going. ❝ i care a lot less about how people are supposed to see me lately. so i'd rather be friends with good people than rich idiots. besides, i never really got to hang out with you before....everything. now i can. turns out you're pretty cool. ❞

the brevity of chrissy’s story matters because what’s the prevailing mood after she dies? that she had so much potential. that she had so much to live for.
what, then, is the takeaway?
so do you.
dialogue prompts from pretend i’m dead by jen beagin.
sorry. i’ve made you uncomfortable with my creepy honesty.
would you care for a bear claw?
if god gives you lemons, find a new god.
i’m going to miss you. i miss you already.
you’re not even here. where are you right now?
do you live in a commune or something?
i wasn’t born like this, you know.
what’s your least favorite word?
i’ve always felt a weird affinity for monotony and repetition.
i make my living as a thief.
you smell like hope.
let’s embrace our lone wolf status.
all i ask is that you try not to judge me.
i don’t think we’re done with each other yet, do you?
could you come over? just for five minutes? i’m freaking out.
that’s why i took so many notes. i knew you’d want to know exactly what happened.
since when do you care about dying?
stay. i’ll read you a story.
i read your diary.
i fully want to make out with you again.
i’m like, totally lost without you.
i apologize for the tragic ending.
loneliness is a presence you can feel in your body.
i don’t have anyone making deals with the devil for me.
there’s something supernatural about you.
i don't like being pushed around by something i can't see.
i'm sorry. i'm just joking around, it's a defense mechanism.
you are what you talk about.
feelings are just stories. they have a beginning and an end.
don't be so sure my family wants to hear from me.
sometimes i think you make this shit up on the fly.
were you hitting on me last night?
you run like you're being chased by a demon.
you've always been good at pretending like nothing happened.
you're not ready yet. but i'll be here when you are.
it wasn't your fault. you know that, right?
what do you say? can we keep each other's secrets for a while?
which secret do you want me to keep?
hearing about myself in the past is like hearing about some other person.
god, you have a mean bone.
why are you lying?
honest to god, does that excuse ever work?
stop stalling and look at me.
when are you going to stop mocking me?
everyone has some psychic ability. you have to learn how to see first, and then you just read what you see.
do you know what it's like to be in love with someone who hates your guts?
i said i majored in ___, i never said i graduated.
i'm getting you out of here.
i've been thinking about whether or not to tell you something.
you know, there's a support group for people like you.
you and i have met for a reason.
you're either an optimist or a masochist.
just me, myself, and i. we bicker constantly.
i'll be your friend.
it was only a week, but it was the longest year of my life.
you ever own your part in anything. you make everyone else wear your shit.
i don't want a relationship. i want retribution.
one particular i adore about chrissy is that she’s so deeply not into profanity - not necessarily because she feels shame, but because the very sound of curse words is grating. it’s ugly to her 9/10 times spoken and heard.
there is a little baptist guilt in there thanks to a childhood of being dragged to church on sundays and her mother’s ever present televangelists on the tv, but it takes a back seat to the sound of curses.
yet with eddie or the party…..it’s still ugly, she still doesn’t like it, but with them it’s a sign of something honest and genuine. eddie especially. she gets the impression that the more he swears, the more he means what he says.
of course the freshman doing it so often is a little jarring, but she will make exceptions for them. they’re just so cute when they’re excited.

Nancy: Chrissy… Chrissy: Oh no, ‘Chrissy' in b-flat. Chrissy: You're disappointed.
thanks for the patience as i ooze back once again! as part of my comeback, i edited my rules a bit. nothing too huge, mostly clarification on how i'll be approaching tumblr now. i also rewired some of the carrd links to make navigation clearer. the tbd verses i have listed in there, specifically star wars and bg3/d&d, will be added in the coming week. thanks again for coming to the circus!
