Stenbrough concept:

Stanley brings home a pigeon that happened to be on the side of the road and doesn't tell Bill.

So like one night, Bills in the shower and the pigeon just casually slips in the shower with him.

All Stanley can hear in the distance is a high pitch scream and a weak "STANNNNNNN!"

Of course Stanley gets up from his chair--closing his favourite book and wonders over to the bathroom, which to where he sees Bill in the corner with a shower cap on--along with his arm outstretched holding on for dear life a backscrubber with a terrified, confused expression and the pigeon titling his head, cooing up at him.

Stanley stands there, fiddling with his fingers with a shy grin on his features, looking at them both and he goes " so, this is our son--Benjamin."

#Stan named him after Ben? I love that

(For those wondering: in the book, Eddie is heavily gay coded and Richie is bi coded.)

Richie Tozier Quotes🎈

[reddieforasloppybitch]

I’ve not posted on this account in forever, but I just saw an edit of this scene:

and half the comments were people saying Richie only loved Eddie like a brother… After three years, are we still having this debate in the fandom??

Eddie: Are you seeing anyone?

Richie: *blushing* No, why?

Eddie: I think you need like, a therapist or something

remember how when eddie kaspbrak was dying he could feel everything negative leave his body & it left him with only a clarity that shed a dawning light onto himself. & then he looks at richie and he finally makes peace with himself because suddenly everything had become so clear.. and this realization made the actual act of dying not feel so bad.. and immediately upon this realization he NEEDED to hold onto life because there was Something He Had To Say First.. to richie. who is already on his knees crying over eddie. and eddie says his name & raises his hand to touch richies cheek while telling him not to call him eds because "you know i..." and while eddie is thinking over how to finish the sentence, he dies. and then they all have to abandon eddie's body in the sewer and richie yells & kicks the door and when he's asked why he did that he says he doesn't know, but his internal monologue says "but he knew well enough." this is my villain origin story. if i ever see stephen king it's on sight

Is the heart-shape they make intentional? Either way, I love this 💛

just a bunch of losers hanging out

I’m flipping out because I’ve just found out that this post I made in 2019 became one of those chats that people adapted to different fandoms and it’s been used for some of my favourite ships like Wolfstar and I didn’t even know I had started a trend until now, but it makes me so happy

Richie: Why does the whole school think I’m gay?

Eddie, sitting in his lap while Richie runs his fingers through his hair: It’s probably those shirts you wear

The Losers, watching: ...

Stan: Yeah, that’s probably it. Your shirts...

Reddie - The Realisation

Eddie realised he was gay before Richie did

Because, well, Richie was an idiot

Eddie was about 11 when he fully realised he liked boys the way he was “supposed” to like girls

He didn’t immediately fall for Richie, though, it was gradual

It started off with little things like catching himself smiling at Richie across the classroom

Then he found himself arguing with Richie on purpose so that Richie would throw his arms around Eddie to “annoy” him

When the group hung out, he’d hope the others would leave so he could spend time alone with him - just a few minutes

It had started as a small crush, but it slowly turned into love over some time

Richie was different.

Okay, so maybe he’d kind of known already, but not really known

It wasn’t until he was a teenager that he figured it out

Beverly was lying there in her underwear

The guys were all drooling over her and he just thought:

“meh”

And his realisation about his feelings for Eddie came a little later

After they “defeated” Pennywise and Eddie came to Richie’s house to shower

They had sat and held each other for what felt like forever in the sweetest way

He fell in love with Eddie, not gradually like Eddie had him, but instantly and all at once

Love hit Richie like a ton of bricks

Love came over Eddie like a light mist

But Eddie never told Richie and Richie never told Eddie

And now they never could

The Losers’ Parents

Movie vs. Book

In the movie, Beverly’s mother has died and it is implied that she killed herself because she was “sick”. Her father wrongfully blames Beverly for this and takes out his grief on her physically and (strongly implied) sexually

In the books, Beverly’s mother is alive. She’s aware that Beverly’s father is abusive but does nothing about it as long as it’s not sexual (she asks Beverly if he had ever touched her at which Beverly was confused)

Movie!Bill’s parents are distraught become socially reclusive towards him following Georgie’s death, but eventually (in a deleted scene) they decide it’s time to appreciate Bill and make new memories

Bill’s parents in the book appear a lot more than they do in the films. Zack is an electrician and Sharon is a talented Julliard-graduate pianist. They shut Bill out like in the film, but there is no happy ending

Sonia is the most accurate in the movie to her book counterpart. Eddie’s mother has MSbP (this is a “condition where a caregiver creates the appearance of health problems in another person, typically their child”) and is a hypochondriac

Eddie’s father in the book is said to have died of cancer when Eddie was five and Eddie suffered from pneumonia shortly after - it is hypothesised that this triggered his mother’s hypochondria. Like the movie, she makes up illnesses for Eddie and uses them to control him. Additionally, she is homophobic as shown by her attitude regarding the gay couple that lives in town - this makes Eddie uncomfortable

Mike’s parents aren’t shown in the 2017 film as they were burnt alive in the house of Harris Avenue. Instead, he lives with his grandfather on his farm - we don’t see him for long, but he definitely doesn’t give the impression of being a kind and caring guardian

In the book, Mike’s parents are alive and he is especially close with his father, Will, who is arguably the most caring parent in the book (or any Stephen King novel). He is to Henry Bowers’ father what Mike is to Henry; their children mirror them. Sadly, Mike’s father dies when he is 16 and his mother changes his birth certificate so that it says he is older in order to sign on so that he can help to provide for the family

Ben’s parents are not shown in the films

Honestly, my memory isn’t so great, but from what I remember, Ben’s father is dead and Ben lives with his mother and aunt

Richie’s parents also aren’t shown, but they’re often perceived in fanwork as neglectful/abusive towards Richie

In the novel, on the other hand, Richie’s parents are actually some of the nicest in Derry, but they find him difficult to understand. Though they love Richie, they don’t know how to connect to him and his mother sometimes wishes she had a daughter. Richie’s dad thinks he is silly, but he encouraged his interest in doing voices and even uses Richie’s phrases himself

Stan’s dad in It 2017 is a Rabbi and is very firm with Stan about his religious studies

In the novel, Stan’s parents are in a very loving relationship and have been married since their early 20s. His father is attentive and worried about what Stan will do in the future but, according to Patty, Stan’s parents were never cruel

[reddieforasloppybitch]

The Losers:

[reddieforasloppybitch]

If Stan had come to Jade of the Orient

“Stan, clearly something is wrong, stop that bath running and tell me about it”

Patricia comes along - she begged to

Stan was worried about her coming to Derry, but she wanted to be there for him, so she packed her bags, anyway

When they get there, there’s a second pf awkwardness - Stan’s not exactly a social butterfly and it has been decades since he saw them

Lucky for him, Patty is a people-person and introduces herself

“Woah, Stan, you married a hugger? Opposites do attract!” “Yeah, they do - so you must be married to Victoria’s Secret model, right, Richie?”

And just like that - as if a switch got turned on in his mind - he felt like no time has passed

Why had he felt so awkward? He knews these guys! The Losers! Richie, Ben, Beverly, Mike, Eddie and Bill-

Bill!

His face went red as he remembered his first kiss - Oh, shit, did Bill remember to? How embarrassing

Patty knew he was bisexual, but he wasn’t sure she’d love to know she was sitting next to someone he had once or many times kissed as a teenager

He was relieved to find that his feelings for Bill didn’t reignite (though he did check him out once) and he was still madly in love with Patty

Ben asked Stan about work and vice versa

“I’ve actually been looking for an accountant, would you be interested?” “Really? You’ve only known I was an accountant for five minutes!” “But I’ve known you for 30 years - come work with me!” “I’ll have to talk with Patty first on such a big decision, but I think I will!”

Everyone cheers their drinks to Stan’s new job

“So, Stan, Patty, any rugrats?” asks Richie. “I can’t wait to see Stan the Man Jr. with his toy calculator”

Patty holds Stan’s hand. “Actually, we can’t have children and, well, adoption and surrogacy is so expensive”

Everyone group hugs

No one really knew Richie was gay (for sure) except Stan who had accidentally found a picture of Eddie under Richie’s pillow when they were 13 (fully-clothed, get your mind out the gutter) but he never told anyone, not even Richie, because he thought he’d come out when he was ready

But when they meet up again after TWENTY-FUCKING-SEVEN years, Stan quickly realises that Richie never came out and he feels guilty for not trying to talk to him about it as kids

“Patty, he’s lived his entire life alone, lying to everyone he knows, and I could have helped, but I was a stupid kid!” he says to his wife later that night

Eddie says he’s married, but Stan notices how he seems geared towards Richie and thinks maybe he should have tried talking to him, too

Maybe I’m imagining it, Eddie’s not— “Let’s take our shirts off and kiss!” Nope, definitely gay

When Bev avoids questions about Tom, Patty subtly points out the belt marks on her arm

Afterwards, he pulls Beverly to the side

“I know this is weird and probably not-my-place because it’s been 27 years, but it feels like I just saw you yesterday, Beverly, so if this Tom guy ever...” his voice trails as he gestures to her arm. “You can always stay with us, okay? I know you probably live in a mansion now so my house will probably seem like shit, but it’s there if you-”

Beverly hugs him. “I missed you, Stan”

He also talks to Mike.

“I’ve got to thank you, Mike.” “What for?” “You stayed so we didn’t have to. Don’t think I didn’t notice or appreciate it because I do. Patty is amazing. I love her more than anything in the world. You know how neurotic I am, right? Not only does she ‘put up with’ it, she likes it about me and she gets me to have fun. But I only got the chance to meet her because you stayed. You gave me the chance, Mike. Thank you”

Georgie Denbrough as an Adult

Georgie became a pilot

He travelled around the world

When he was in his early 20s, he met the love of his life in Spain

They eloped spontaneously within a few months

His parents were naturally not very happy about this sudden jump in the relationship, but they eventually come around to it when they see how happy he is

Bill’s very a little upset he missed his baby brother’s wedding, but he’s thrilled for them and even dedicates one of his books to them

To my baby brother, Georgie, and his lovely wife, Elena - I wish you the happiest life together

“Maybe I’ll forgive you for eloping without me if you name your first kid after me!” jokes Bill

But Georgie actually does name his son “William” after his big brother but they call him “Will” for short instead of “Bill”

Yes, Bill does cry

A lot

Georgie doesn’t die young tragically.

He lives a long, fulfilled life and dies peacefully in his sleep. Happy.

Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

- Lionel Richie (1984)

[reddieforasloppybitch]

Bill, hinting at his Pennywise encounter: Ha-Has anything weird happened to you guh-guys this sum-mer?

Richie, seriously: Yeah...

Bill, eagerly: Really? Wuh-what happened?

Richie: I’ve had a strange tingling sensation in my anus.

Eddie: *throws a stick at Richie*
