#and how she will cope with her de*ath

[harritudur]

inspired by this great edit by @thestarlesssaint : in an alternate universe, they meet again after 5 years and fell in love

Eddie remained there, in Hawkins with his uncle -until Wayne had a heart attack on a february's night, and their trailer became his trailer. Bills has to be paid, even for an outcast, so he took a job at the plant. Family tradition. Chrissy left 5 years ago for college and didn't come back, only for Christmas or other family reunions - until a phone call during her internship ("Your mother just had a stroke. We fear for her health.") and against any logic, she fears for it too. The two of them meet again for the first time at The Brick (the new bar following Benny's Burgers) that Chrissy entered for a phone call to her brother - something about their mother's drugs she has to buy at the pharmacy but she forgot the list made of complex names.... "Chrissy Cunningham." I know that voice. Her head turns slowly and finds a pair of warm brow eyes and a crooked grin by the counter, drinking a fresh Busch. "Eddie Munson," she replies back, using the same tone. "Well, Chicago’s air seems to suit you," he takes another sip of his beer and stands up, moving a step forward. He's still noticeably taller than her. "You look good." "You too. I mean, you look..." her hands gesture to his short hair, "different." "Yeah. Buzz cut. Again." The answer, alluding to their conversation at a picnic table years ago, relieves Chrissy -she is not the only one remembering every second of it. "It was highly suggested to me to do it when I was hired at the plant. Security things and stuffs like that... whatever. It is growing back." She smiles and wishes she didn't have to go to the pharmacy before closing time. It is so natural, easy, pleasant to be beside Eddie, contrary to all the other people from her past she bumped into during the last 48hours. When it comes to him, the perspective to know every details that happened in his life these past 5 years sounds captivating. "I’m very happy to see you Eddie," Chrissy whispers, and the way his hold around the Busch’ bottle tightens imperceptibly tells her that he returns the sentiment. "How are you?"

COMMON MISCONCEPTION(S).  That she's naive. I mean, she's a forensics and one that specializes in crime scene investigations- she's seen some pretty gruesome stuff, which probably?? Gets to her some time, but compartmentalizing is a necessity to her especially since she feel she has to stay. Being positive and maintaining a cheerful outlook is a necessity for her to stay in the field. This is all to say that while she does have a lot of quirks and a mindsets that seem rather...simplistic or one a child might have, I promise you, she's very capable of having serious and deep conversations. She's dense and oblivious, but that doesn't mean she's a fool.

AN IMPORTANT HEADCANON.  Her paper-folding habits are ultimately a coping mechanism. With her parents and the house they lived in gone in the blink of an eye, Suki literally had nothing else to remind herself of them over the years. Along with becoming a forensic investigator like her mother was, making origami was a way for Suki to preserve the memories she still had of her father. Up until the Origami Killer was arrested, she wasn't willing to let go of her parents or her memories of them. It's only afterwards when she could truly grief the loss and become her own person. 

A USELESS HEADCANON.  She has a very set-in-stone routine when it comes to putting clothes on. The shirt is always first and then the bottoms. Socks are next and then her shoes at the door. Left foot first then the right.

POTENTIAL TRIGGERS.  The normal stuff you would find in Ac*e Att*orney games aka mur*der, vio*lence, de*ath, j*ail, etc. As for Suki, along with those, I would include include ar*son and liter*ary gore although in-depth detail doesn't usually show up with her, these days. This blog also contains pro-crocs rhetoric <3

SOMETHING YOU ENJOY ABOUT (WRITING) THEM.  She's a dumbass, how could I not enjoy writing her? Okay, I actually think she's one of my most realistic characters in terms of arc and mannerisms even if her origami skills might be unreal. She's set in her ways and in how she thinks, which makes it tricky, but very fun for me to figure out the best way to phrase her thoughts. I actually consider her to be one of my most balanced muses so when I do write her, there's even more of the desire for me to do her character justice. But also!! Just bouncing off of all the wonderful ppl we get to write with? I'm very happy to say Suki has palpable chemistry with thankfully everyone she's encountered so far which makes her just that much more of a joy to write <3

SOMETHING YOU WANT OTHERS TO KNOW BEFORE WRITING WITH THEM.  She's a lot more observant than she lets on. The only problem is that her lens of interpretation, especially in her main arc and gag situations, is very skewed...this is all to say, when she analyzes a situation, she'll make a comment that is closest to what is actually happening, but the conclusion she settles on will be incorrect. More seriously though, Suki's ability to (unintentionally) see through facades is a result of her approaching most situations with an open mind and with seeing things as they are, not necessarily as how they should be.

You know how Hopper at the end of s2 gave El his (daughter's) old blue hair tie after he got adoption papers for her. Signifying he thought of her as his daughter/family now. I wonder if max at the end of s3 giving El her green hairtie has a similar meaning ? Like she's family to her now?

Both hair tie scenes are subtle and not even vocally brought up to the audience. We're just supposed to notice and come to our own conclusions.Curious what it'll mean going forward and the possible narrative implications. 

It could also possibly hint at her paralleling Hopper in the future. Both characters give El a hairtie, after the d*ath of a family member. Maybe Max (like Hopper) won’t cope well with the loss/de*th of a family member initially?She was awfully down in her last scene of s3 ( during Hopper's speach). :(

@hawkinsschoolcounselor also mentioned to me after i posted this. that she may shut down much like Hopper did, leading to her and Lucas breaking up just as Hopper and his wife did.

Humour and Homicide

The narrative of Lady De Ath’s life can be hard to piece together from what you heard at the party. So, in case you’re curious, then here it is...the full story of the Ad Hominem Murder:

LADY ADMIN DE ATH was the daughter of the De Aths, the family who owned Rumford Hall and all its surrounding land. As their only child, Admin was raised to inherit the fortune. But she didn’t want it.

To get a taste of an ordinary life, she got a job as a critic with the local newspaper. Her column was anonymous, to prevent her parents from finding out. Unimpressed by much and in need of a way to vent her frustrations, she wrote scathing reviews of all she saw. She dismantled performances and plays with such wit and sarcasm that her critiques became the newspaper’s most popular feature. Because of this, two things occurred.

Firstly, her popularity meant that when she discussed with much disgust one RODERICH EDELSTAB and his acting skill, she almost derailed his career. He struggled on, however, eventually becoming a superstar. He used his newfound wealth and fame to discover his anonymous critic’s identity. Realising it was Lady De Ath, he attended her party to tell her just how much he’d succeeded, and just how wrong she was about him. Inside he knew, though, that without her criticism, he’d have never pushed himself to become the actor he is today.

The second occurrence to occur was the acquirement of a particularly special fan: ELVIRA BLOODSCHMIDT. Married to a man who claimed to love her, but spent his nights loving others, Elvira coped by reading the newspaper. It would remind her that there were people out there with lives worse than hers, and thus, she should endure. It was in those newspapers that she found the columns of the anonymous critic, and, as seemingly-mundane things do, they made her realise something important. When something is bad, no matter the severity, one can criticise it, and one can most certainly laugh at it; there is at least some joy to be had in misery. Thankful of these lessons, she wrote to the newspaper.

Elvira’s letters were passed onto Admin, and from there a friendship was born. Both women were trapped in situations they did not want to be in. Together, they decided they would run. They would run, far from Rumford, and be free together. Using the wages Admin had saved up from her job, they ran all the way across the world, and stayed in the hotel of one ALFRED F. BONES. There they stayed for months, their friendship growing stronger, until it became something more. But they were not to live happily ever after. One of them was not to live at all.

Elvira fell ill. Admin, desperate to save her, used all of her funds to pay for treatment, but none worked. Out of money and out of options, Admin stole from Bones’ hotel and returned to Rumford with a deteriorating Elvira to enlist the help of the best doctor she knew: IVAN BRAGINSLAY. He was, at the time, tending to the son of FELICIANO VARGASSASSIN. However, the boy was stable, and so Ivan answered Admin’s call. But there was nothing he could do.

Elvira passed away, and, without Ivan there to monitor him, so did young Charlie Vargassassin. Heartbroken, Admin retreated back to Rumford Hall and accepted her fate. Not long after, she lost her parents, and became the sole owner of her family’s fortune. Still loyal to her parents and regarding Admin with disdain for running off, many of the staff abandoned Rumford, leaving only the faithful YAO HANG to care for it and for Admin.

With Yao too busy and Admin too apathetic, Rumford Hall began to fall to ruin. This angered the locals, especially MATTHEW KILLIAMS, a retired soldier who had worked there in his youth. Others, however, saw it as an opportunity. BARON GILBERT VON MCMURDERY was interested in buying the De Ath’s land from them, and could see that Admin did not truly want it. However, Admin refused his many offers to purchase it from her. Though she didn’t want it, she definitely did not want him to have it.

Admin very rarely left the Hall. On one occasion when she did, a young man named KIKU HONDAGGER attempted to talk to her. A cheeky thing, he poked fun at her hermit-like nature, but failed to impress. Recalling all of her skills as a critic, she verbally destroyed him in front of his classmates, making him an object of ridicule for the rest of his schooling. ARTHUR CORPSELAND, a rather dim boy, was the only one willing to be his friend after the incident.

A few years after Elvira’s death, after Admin inherited her family’s wealth, Lady De Ath began to receive anonymous death threats. She went to the police, but they were of no help to her. So, she came up with her own plan. She began to hold parties, lavish and grand, for all kinds of guests. She became an infamous hostess; everyone wanted to attend her soirees. Knowing this, Admin planned her very last party. She invited everyone she had wronged in her life, everyone who could have reason to want her dead. Days before the party, she went to confession and revealed her sins to the good reverend FRANCIS GUNNEFOY. He tried to convince her not to go through with her plan, but she was determined. He attended the party to try and save her soul, but he was too late.

Admin gave her killer many opportunities to strike. She waited alone in rooms for minutes at a time, and stood at the edge of her balcony to stare up at the stars. Yet she lived. It wasn’t enough. So, as her butler prepared the drinks, she took a chance. She sent Yao away on a fool’s errand, and by the time he returned, the murderer had done what he needed to. Admin took her glass, gathered her guests to raise a toast, and was dead before she finished.

The killer might have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for the meddling ways of Admin’s friends, invited specifically to solve her murder. Though they hadn’t seen her since their school days, they managed to gather clues from her other guests about what her life had been like since. They discovered that she had been involved in an affair with Elvira, and realised that one of the guests was Elvira’s former husband: LUDWIG BLOODSCHMIDT.

Though Ludwig loved Elvira, he could never settle down. He’d hoped that would be enough for her, but it wasn’t. When she ran from him, he was furious. After hearing of her return, he headed to Rumford Hall to take her back and give Admin what he thought she deserved. But he was too late.

After Elvira died, Ludwig tried to move on. But he never could. Not knowing that things could have been different. If Admin hadn’t have seduced her, manipulated her, taken her from him, then she wouldn’t have gotten ill. She would be alive. Perhaps even Admin would be dead. That would be a fine thing indeed.

Ludwig began sending Admin letters. He called himself her anonymous critic. He told her that she should be dead. But it wasn’t enough. She needed to be dead.

And so, when invited to her party, how could he resist? He procured poison, and he waited for his chance. It was almost too easy in the end. Perhaps that should have made him realise that it was all a trap. But he was too angry to be rational; for if he had been rational, he would have realised that Elvira was her own person. She chose to run. He promised himself to her, and then broke that promise. If he hadn’t done that, perhaps she’d still be alive.

But blame is a funny thing. If you work hard enough, you can blame anything on anyone. Alfred F. Bones recognised that. Though Admin’s thievery caused him to lose his business, he did not blame her. He could have blamed her. He could have blamed Elvira for falling ill. He could have blamed himself for letting them stay. But he refused. And he was rewarded.

Always thankful to him for giving herself and Elvira safety, and always regretting stealing from him to delay the inevitable, Admin made Alfred the sole inheritor of her estate. Yao’s loyalty was rewarded with a position on his staff, and Matthew’s help was enlisted to restore the Hall to its former glory. The others helped Alfred to settle into their village, and often visited the Hall. They went not only to see him, but to see Admin’s grave, which lay within the grounds...

Right next to Elvira’s.
