can chrissy season a skillet or must she undergo some training?
send me your character and I’ll tell you if I think they know how to season/care for cast iron cookware.
I don’t think she can. I’m so sorry Chrissy. Nothing about the Cunningh.am family screams cast iron enthusiasts. I feel like her mother would have some weird classist opinion on the use of cast iron. I feel like she grew up exclusively around soulless stainless steel cookware. Chrissy would probably enjoy cooking in cast iron later and learning about its care.
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.

❝ not at all! poetry could sound exciting no matter where you found it. ❞ she’d draw the line at bathroom stall graffiti but even the plainest word choice, in the right order, could give a name to a feeling that felt undiscoverable a moment before. chrissy had always envied that ability, to make simple letters into art. ❝ .....what cereal, though? ❞

had chris survived the great vecna-ing of spring ‘86, no doubt she’d be dressing up as sarah from labyrinth.
before ‘86 it was princess leia multiple times, and once she and two little friends dressed up as judy, violet, and doralee from 9 to 5.

White Christmas (1954 film)
“My dear partner, when what’s left of you gets around to what’s left to be gotten, what’s left to be gotten won’t be worth getting, whatever it is you’ve got left.”
“Pushing, pushing…”
“What is this, the best two out of three?”
“We’re practically strangers.”
“When I figure out what that means I’ll come up with a crushing reply.”
“____, if you’re ever under a falling building, and somebody runs up and offers to pick you up and carry you to safety, don’t think, don’t pause, don’t hesitate for a moment, just spit in his eye.”
“That’s ridiculous, even if it made any sense at all.”
“I think it’s impossible, ridiculous, and insane! And I wish I’d thought of it first.”
“How do you do?”
“Don’t just stand there – how do I get off?”
“You ought to be horsewhipped. First you, and then you, and then you again.”
“Please, don’t quote me the price when I haven’t got the time.”
“Well, it’s not good, but it’s a reason.”
“Mutual, I’m sure.”
“Oh, that’s very funny. Ho, ho, ho.”
“I’m not the marrying kind. I’m not the engaging kind, either!”
“We ate, and then he ate. We slept, and then he slept.”
“Are things really that bad?”
“Troops ready for inspection, sir!”
“Oh, no. You wouldn’t do this to me…”
“I don’t know what you see in this long drink of charged water but honestly, after you get to know him, he’s almost endurable.”
“It’s probably just a small internal muscular hemorrhage, sir.”
“Well, you’re not exactly Superman, but you’re awfully available.”
“That’s right, ideal. That’s exactly the word we used, too: ideal. We looked at this big ski lodge and we said ‘Isn’t it ideal, absolutely ideal,’ didn’t we.”
“That’s not the way back to headquarters.”
“Wouldn’t do what?”
“Don’t you think we ought to…kiss or something?”
“Looks like it’s absolutely necessary.”
“I’ve got a feeling I’m not gonna like it…”
“Let’s just say we’re doing it for an old pal in the army.”
“Look who’s talking about guilt!”
“I want you to get married. I want you to have nine children. And if you only spend five minutes a day with each kid, that’s forty-five minutes, and I’d at least have time to go out and get a massage or something.”
“Let’s face it, ____, you’re a lonely, miserable man.”
“She’s always felt that she’s mother hen and I’m her little chick. She’ll never leave the roost until I’m taken care of.”
“____, you know that, and I know that, but ____ doesn’t know that. At least he won’t for about an hour and a half.”
“I just dropped by to thank you for saving my life.”
“I guess I’ve always been a silly school girl…you know the bit, the lady fair and the knight on the white horse.”
“Well, it was a life worth saving.”
“What’d you have for lunch today?”
“Well, break your arm, or your ankle, or your neck, but don’t break anything valuable, huh?”
“We’ve established that the lodge is ideal.”
“Well, then you’re happy for the wrong reasons, and that’s the same as being lonely and miserable, except it’s worse.”
“You know, in some ways, you’re far superior to my cocker spaniel.”
“Oh, my word, if I wasn’t such a mean old biddy, I’d break right down and cry.”
“Vermont should be beautiful this time of year: all that snow.”
“Let me tell you something, it’s kinda dangerous, putting those knights up on white horses. Likely to slip off, you know.”
“Well, I guess that’s the end of that.”
“It sounds very… Vermonty!”
“Why is everybody so concerned about my eating habits? Why don’t people just leave me alone?”
“I’ve got a feeling you’re gonna hate it.”
“How much is ‘wow’?”
“Last night, she couldn’t sleep. Today, she won’t eat… she’s in love.”
“Since you saved my life, you decided you have a right to run it.”
“It’s right between ‘ouch’ and ‘boing.’“
“Well, I like that! Without so much as a ‘kiss my foot’ or ‘have an apple!’”
“We like to take care of our friends.”
“I’m more of the ‘I don’t mind pushing my best friend into it but I’m scared stiff when I get anywhere to close to it myself’ kind.”
“Is that bad?”
“It’s always that she’s been kind of a mother hen.”
“We wanted the mother hen to leave the roost so that the little chick could… oh, I guess we laid an egg.”

hi friends! first of all, thank you for being here and interested in this little chrissy blog. second [spoilers], across the fandom the prevailing aus for chrissy seem to take place during the events of season 4. that is not the case for this portrayal’s main verse. chrissy remains dead for the entirety of the season, only reviving when robin/nancy/steve blast vecna. first killed, first revived.
as vecna emulates the lich of the same name from dnd lore and has noticeably displayed the bodies of chrissy, fred, and patrick in his mind space for max to stumble upon, which, coupled with the line “they’re not gone, eleven. they’re still with me,” provides some implication that the consciousnesses (or souls) of vecna’s victims still exist somewhere inside vecna or in a place of his choosing. this is only emphasized by his stealing of their eyes upon killing them, since “eyes are the windows to the soul”. especially powerful liches possess phylacteries, aka a protective central storage of power for their soul to draw upon when they need to regenerate. the three victims’ souls may very well have been stored in vecna’s “phylactery” mind space - his family’s deconstructed house - for that purpose. when vecna is attacked he is weakened to the point of potentially letting souls slip from his grasp. in a similar fashion that max can enter and exit, chrissy is released from the immediate bondage of vecna’s “phylactery” and able to slip through the cracks. although, unlike max, she isn’t released into the real world but the realm that vecna dwells in: the upside down. until she can find her way out, it’s there that she stays. in the real world, her buried body dissolves and her casket, when exhumed, is discovered to be empty.
long story short, all this can be found on my verses page and this drabble explaining how chrissy woke up. all this is to give chrissy her own unique story that both gives her a chance at agency, a solo story of survival, and manages to keep the timeline of s4 unchanged. thanks so much for reading!!!

THERE SHE IS . . . THERE'S CHRISSY !

no tweed or wool. out, get them OUT. excuses can be made for wool blends.
there is a reason for this, though: her mother poured her into those abominable twin sets that were thick and scratchy and itchy and hot so many saturdays and sundays of her childhood that chrissy having to look at them at any point again would be too soon. she felt like she was dying in them. like a tiny little business woman just missing a patent leather purse and a hat on her way to an interview at nine years old.
however, despite not often being very cold, chrissy is a big fan of cable knit and rib knit, the former for sweaters and the latter for shirts. they’re quite cozy and warm without feeling stifling. forgiving of body shape for the most part. fleece is the same way, especially for light jackets.
she’s got simple taste. flat, smooth, and soft textures are her go-to, so you’ll sooner see her wearing corduroy pants than jeans most days. on fun days big, loose-knit and fluffy layers are what she likes to wrap up in, so as much as she considers her cheer skirt her enemy, the cheer top and cardigan are remarkably pleasant to wear. while she’s not exactly styling herself in oversized clothing there are a lot of loose and flowy elements she prefers. those fits are her go-tos and what she feels the most comfortable in.
