Eddie and Chrissy according to Joe Quinn, Grace Van Dien and the Duffer Brothers (sources below)

[Were Eddie and Chrissy on the outskirts of falling in love?]  “Yeah, that’s the way I saw it.” - Joseph Quinn (x)

“It would be lovely if there was a world in which [they could] be a pretty uncouth couple at Hawkins High that I think might shake things up a little bit.” - Joseph Quinn (x)

“We always have those moments [of ‘What have we done?’].  We shot the quote-unquote drug-deal scene in the woods pretty late, actually, into shooting. We had already killed Chrissy when we shot that. The scene came alive in a beautiful way. So much of that was Joe and Grace.” - Duffer Brothers (x)

“She had to feel safe enough with him to go back to his trailer. And he’s a pretty intimidating guy when you first meet him, so I think it made sense for there to be some romantic intrigue there. And to also spark Mason’s character Jason’s suspicion. It felt like the right way to go there, I think.” - Joseph Quinn (x)

#Eddissy - Grace Van Dien (x)

“I think he’s completely haunted by his inability to do anything to save Chrissy and how powerless he was at that moment.” - Joseph Quinn (x)

“I think kind of…yes, I think he did [have a crush on Chrissy]. I think, playing with archetypes, especially in American high school, I don’t think you’d ever put those two together. But they get to know each other more in episode one and there’s kind of potential there, and then something horrible happens. I think the concert, for him, was more about avenging her as a person rather than anything romantic but I think there could have been the potential for a liaison of some kind.” - Joseph Quinn (x)

“I really loved the scene that I got to do with Grace Van Dien in the woods in episode one.” - Joseph Quinn (x)

“’The Forest Scene’ was my favourite to film.  After filming completed, the Duffers told me it’s one of their favourite scenes in all four seasons. Joe and I are so happy with it.” - Grace Van Dien (x)

I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:

Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin. 

Here is a page of medieval weapons.

Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.

Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.

Here are some gemstones.

Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on. 

Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.

Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised. 

Here is every religion in the world. 

Here is every language in the world.

Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.

Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.

Here are poisonous plants.

Here are plants in general.

Feel free to add more to this!

Le bonheur est toujours à inventer avec les ressources du quotidien, avec les fleurs de l’imprévisible, avec les rires de l’inattendu et las plaisirs de l’étonnement. 

-Jacques Salomé-

Hello Studyblrs!!

I decided to make a Masterpost dedicated specifically to students doing the Leaving Cert because like me, many irish students struggle in class or have some terrible teachers and are forced to look elsewhere for notes and info. This post has direct links to notes and information, all of which is on the leaving cert course. If you are not a LC student but you study some of these subjects, you may find these notes useful also, depending on your exam board. Let me know if you would like me to add any other subjects or specific topics to the list. 

Enjoy Studying!
