Summary:

On October 30th 1986 the old Forest Hills Trailer Park burns down in a mysterious accident, tragically ending the lives of a young couple, Billy Hargrove and Chrissy Cunningham, who were just about to get married, freshly out of highschool. A year later Max, Billy's stepsister, visits his grave and witnesses a black crow sitting on his tombstone in the rain. That bird brought a soul back from the dead, and a vengeful ghost sets out to make people responsible for his and his fiancée's death pay, leaving one last imprint on the lives of those whom he loved.

Day 4 : "You smell like vanilla." + Color Palette - Calicheer Post-S5 - 31.01.2026

I wanted to imagine Billy and Chrissy post-S5 escaping Hawkins and going to live in Cali 😊❤️

Done using ink pens, alcohol markers, gel pens, acrylic paint pens and Photoshop for the background, the patterns on Billy's shirt and Chrissy's outfit, the jewelry and for the text

(The oufit for Chrissy must be credited to a post and concept by Mochipan)

i finally finished this stupid edit...

like, Chrissy has this softness about her that is undeniable and she's feminine and comfortable in that, she has no problem being soft but she's also very hurt (just like Billy)

and Billy is hardened by the abuse of his father, his softness is hidden under that hard shell that's thickened over the years, to a point where he doesn't feel it anymore

but Chrissy can soften him, she could bring that sweetness out of him with her gentle smile and kindness, while Billy can remind her that she does have a voice and she can use it to defend herself

the scene from the last episode of season 8 but now with less Grown Ass Mother of Three getting flirty with A Literal Minor.

shout out to the homie @80svhstapes for asking for me to draw this when i shitposted about it on the st sideblog.
