was tagged by @pipergirl17 to share a fun snippet of a wip!
are y'all sick of seeing teasers for the time travel AU?
I figured which is why this isn't that:
Eddie needed this goddamn movie to end.
He was dying. Like, actually suffocating, his lungs inhaling and exhaling oxygen without actually absorbing any of it into his blood. He kept taking slow, deep breaths, but every passing second was agony. Because with every stupid, necessary breath, Eddie kept getting little nudges of flowery perfume, and it was gonna be the death of him.
This wasn’t even a hot movie!
Granted, pretty much anything starring Sigourney Weaver was, like, half-porno in his mind, but he honest-to-God couldn’t recall a single goddamn shred of information about the Alien sequel they were watching.
Eddie was too fucking hyper aware of Chrissy Cunningham’s existence beside him.
For the weirdly specific asks: 8, 19, 29 (any or all of them) please! 💕
8. do you change into specific clothes for the house when you get home?
fun fact about me: I'm a wee bit of a germophobe lmao. I developed eczema on my hands because I wash them so frequently (and also probably genetics but I blame the washing them thing). I don't change immediately - especially if I have chores to do or intend on cooking - but as soon as I'm ready to settle in for the night, I'll put on my comfy lounge leggings and swap whatever shirt I wore that day for a tank top and my at-home cardigan before I sit on my bed/the couch/the chair bc I don't want to transfer my outside/work germs onto my cozy hangout spots.
19. the veggie you dislike the most?
celery. the smell of celery being cut for dressing on Thanksgiving has actually made me throw up before. like I was already nauseous but that pushed it over the edge.
29. preferred pasta noodle?
oooooh penne, I think? the grooves of the noodle capture and hold sauce the best and it's the most versatile imo.
listen we don't have to get into the minutia of my weird considerations when it comes to mythological merit. I believe that, if it doesn't exist in our world, it definitely exists somewhere, and has probably accidentally wandered through thin veils to be seen by us or our ancestors. like why else would there be so many stories from everywhere in the world about these cryptid creatures?
9. do you have a skincare routine (and how many steps are in it)?
uh morning or night? lmao
so morning is: rinse face (unless I've gone to the gym, then I wash), vitamin C serum, microalgae + zinc serum, moisturizer, sunscreen
night is: wash face, hyaluronic serum, retinol, ceramide moisturizer. I mask every Saturday morning and use a silicon exfoliator when I use facewash.
15. rank the methods of death: freezing, burning, drowning
easiest: drowning (I've almost drowned before, it's really not that bad. there were just a lot of pretty colors as my brain lost oxygen)
mid: freezing. I imagine, once your brain really slows down and you can't feel the cold anymore, it's a rather peaceful way to go. the build up probably sucks though.
worst: burning. just quick oven or pan burns fucking hurt, I can't imagine that all over my body all at once for an extended period of time.
I'm a lover of all potato but if I absolutely have to pick I'm gonna go with hashbrowns. don't cancel me, hear me out: it's both soft like a mashed potato but fried like french fries. it's the perfect balance.
17. an anxious compulsion you do every day?
LUCKILY my anxiety doesn't manifest as anything self-destructive but I get made fun of a lot for this way that I stand?? idek how to describe it, it's: feet crossed at the ankle (or one leg bent with my foot pressed against the other leg's knee), one arm pulling a t-rex, the other draped over the top of my head with my wrist kind of twirling. it's my thinking pose.
27. what's your favorite or go-to outfit?
lmao so I am not fashion-savvy; I don't own a lot of clothes, and half of those are loungewear. I guess my go-tos are: black skinny jeans, plain white t-shirt, and a cardigan with gray Van's OR sage green skinny jeans, a pink tank top, and pink Van's (for summer bc I do not wear shorts)
I hadn't drawn Hellcheer in a while, mainly due to the lack of good inspiration. Then, as I was surfing pose references for no one in particular I saw this ⬇️
and I thought, 'Yes, that will be them.'
Sidenote: Does Eddie not have any tattoos on his left arm?
anyway bc of a random throwaway line from ch 11 in we’re a lie (you and I) I now own this album
the hardest part about being a hellcheer writer (and in the fandom in general) is that I will sometimes reference or see references to very specific pieces of media that I’ll then, at one point or another, see in the wild

What's the most insane troll logic critiscism you've read or heard about Hellcheer?
omg full disclosure: I spent way too long in the reylo fandom to even dabble in hellcheer discourse 😭 when that huge explosion of discourse was going on at the beginning I was impartially blocking anyone who brought up shit like st3ddie superiority and bashed on hellcheer as abusive/pedophilic/etc
I guess maybe the craziest thing is just the blatant refusal for people sowing the discourse to accept that Joe himself said everything with Chrissy was done with romantic interest? and that, even when asked directly, he completely deflected questions regarding the other ship, but they created narratives of Eddie regardless
His answer was immediate. Certain. Making more tears fill her eyes and spill down her cheeks.
“But you will kill me,” he continued. “If you must.”"
chapter 2 of 2
"“What do you want, Rey?”
“Stop hunting the Resistance,” she stated. Ben said nothing, his silhouette mostly lost in the night. The mattress shifted, his body rolling to face hers, and she wondered what he might see. If she had any illumination, any shape. Or if, like her, he was only able to face her when she was cast in darkness.
“What do you want, Rey?”"

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3
