What are the losers biggest Flaws? Like with me,Ik you don’t care but imma say it anyway..I’m too nice to the point where I let people walk over me.

That’s a good not!flaw you can use in job interviews! Especially if your position is overseen by management, they love to hear that you’ll follow orders and do more than is expected of you.

Anyway this is kind of a combination of the book and the movie? 

Bill’s biggest flaw is impulsivity. This is linked to his near suicidal self hatred. He’ll jump pussy first into any situation without fucking thinking because he has never had a brain! He puts himself and his friends in danger in all three incarnations of the story because of this. 

Richie’s biggest flaw is that he doesn’t know when to stop. He can’t seem to read a room, and he’s always pulling out just the wrong thing to say in any given situation. He makes each of the Losers mad at him at some point or another, and he rarely seems to self reflect on his actions. 

Eddie’s biggest flaw is his tendency to coddle himself. Eddie doesn’t think he can do things, and it creates a feedback loop where he can’t do things because he psyches himself out. There’s so many points where Eddie has stepped up and was brave and active but he refuses to recognize what that means.

Stan’s biggest flaw is his stubbornness. He has a rigid worldview and he refuses to compromise, and it causes him to have outbursts and mental breakdowns. Instead of listening to his friends he just dismisses their stories out of hand, this causes him to feel separate from them, which is shockingly not great for social cohesion? If you’re wondering why Stan feels like he doesn’t like the Losers it’s because he’s bad at integrating himself because he’s bad at being open minded and trusting people! 

Mike’s biggest flaw is his naivete. I hate that the movie made his character arc be about growing a pair and inflicting violence on another living being, but that’s what it is. Mike has nothing to do in the movie, so in the book, his flaw is basically yours. He’s too nice. He gives people the benefit of the doubt and he lets people use him. I’m thinking he’s aware of how race plays into that dynamic as well (he may well be trying to avoid racist interactions by doing this, or maybe he wills himself into believing his white friends would never hurt or betray him).

Ben’s biggest flaw is he tries to isolate himself. He resigns himself to not having friends. He doesn’t even know what loneliness is because it doesn’t occur to him that having zero friends isn’t good for a developing child. Also in the movie, he’s very nervous about the Losers seeing his room because he wants them to like him. He’s not confident in his passions. 

Bev’s biggest flaw is her self loathing. In the book especially but in the movie too, she blames herself for Tom’s abuse. She blames her father for his abuse too. She provokes the school bullies because Bev doesn’t bother thinking she deserves better. Bev has trouble showing kindness to others because she doesn’t know how to show it to herself, because it’s rarely been shown to her. Which is why I’m still screaming that the movie did nothing to show how Stan specifically was always proactive in making Bev feel included and valued and loved like they’re friends and we barely got that in the movies. Anyway the movie is subtly different from the book, because she’s a more active character now. But I think that’s why Pennywise tried to take her (and succeeded) specifically. She was the most emotionally vulnerable/damaged.

For the longest time I was so confused as to how Stanley Barber was just so popular. I mean I knew why in the context of his own show, but why he was so popular among the It Crowd. Like Wyatt is not the most beloved (or prolific) actor out of all the Kids, or at least he wasn’t at the time. But then the obvious occurred to me. All those posts that were like “It’s like they made Stanley Uris act like Richie Tozier lol XD” were warning us. 

Imagine if Finn played Stanley Barber. I know you all think Wyatt was perfect for the role but just imagine it. How much more popular would the character (and the show) be? That’s just the world we live in.

Not to be mean... but we don’t really need Barry when Killing Eve exists. 

#don't get me wrong Barry was king of intriguing right up until the reveal that the main gimmick was all the characters are in acting class #like no thank you #plus killing eve just has that je ne sais quois #the energy #the aesthetic #I'm already thinking of more than one au for it

[stan-denbrough]

Let me summarize:

Bill Denbrough would’ve said “I’m with Kesha #timesup”

Jacob Barber would’ve said “Kesha’s music is trash but what she went through is still horrible.”

Jacob Thrombey would’ve said “Kesha is a lying whore the liberal media is trying to criminalize men breathing around women!”

And that’s why Jaeden has the range!

Mike and Stan will most definitely let their kids( of age) smoke ⛽️ ( weed) occasionally.

Not what you asked for, but this made me think of a Grace & Frankie au where Stan is a hypercompetant businesswoman who has to live in a beach house with hippie Mike and they become best friends and also their kids drive them crazy and their ex husbands get married and who knows, maybe they fall in love too.

This is such an odd random ass question, but what type or flavor of chips do you think the losers like?

Bill: BBQ

Mike: salt and vinegar 

Eddie: lowfat plain

Richie: sour cream and onion

Stan: kettle cooked (also lowfat)

Bev: spicy jalapeno 

Ben: cheddar

The IANOWT fandom died after like a week, I feel bad rotfl 😂

Well the season was short and really fast to watch. And the fandom was very badly fractured by the lesbian discourse. Normally that kind of shit can make arguments last weeks but I guess everyone got super butthurt and everyone blocked each other within a week. Plus, there’s just not a lot to talk about. 

The fandom was not super big to begin with. Sure Wyatt and Sophia drew in a lot of people to watch it, and let’s be real, people would’ve watched it anyway. But this was a quirky little show just like End of the Fucking World was. It was always going to be outshone by Sex Education.

It’s called overcompensating in college!

sure, i’m a sucker for fuckboy bill aus but were we all watching the same movie(s)? he wears jorts and makes paper boats for his baby brother and nearly gets hit by cars and falls off his bike and spits out his drink when his friends say something funny and yells hi-ho silver away and did i mention he nearly got hit by a car? so? we sure?

Where is season 3????

#I'm dying!! #derry girls

[stan-denbrough]

Can you please do a Hc of Stan and Mikes life after they get married? Like do they have a pet? Would they want kids? Where would they live? Would they argue about petty stuff or would they just get get along? 😀

Mike wants a lot of pets but Stan is allergic to everything. Stan’s just going to have to deal because there is no universe in which Mike 40+ doesn’t run a dog sanctuary. Stan wants kids but Mike is like “Iunno bout that chief...” but see Mike is worried about how good a father he’ll be because he had to watch his own father die, those are PRIMO daddy issues. 

He just has to HEAL and GROW and of course Stan is someone who would help with that. Like when you’re in a relationship with Stan and he’s the adventurous one?? Girl.

I still see them living in Atlanta, but they could live anywhere, they both could really work anywhere if they had to. But since they’re gen x scum, they’d probably live in New York, that’s just where they would’ve gone to live openly. 

They don’t have arguments, they have discussions. The academics jumped out, and it can get grating with all the false niceties, but their relationship is pretty frictionless. Mike and Stan... do not thrive in drama (at least not when it directly involves them, they watch Real Housewives for a reason). If there’s an issue they need to discuss they just discuss them. 

I don’t know, I just feel... that Stan and Mike are allowed to live their little lives away from these heteros and their nonsense, away from all this clown drama, and be allowed to thrive? As a treat?

What criminal act do you think each loser would do? (Like fraud, m*rder, etc) sorry if this is a stupid ask..

I mean this is a way less stupid ask than a lot I get (no shade) because at least it’s a “here’s an outline for some kind of personality chart, organize the Losers!” ask and that’s at least fun. 

See this makes me think of a prison au, because when you ask me “What kind of crime would each of the Losers do” that makes me say to myself, “Well what are we doing with that once we know?” 

Stan is in jail for embezzlement and money laundering/tax evasion. I’m thinking that he was getting desperate to pay for fertility treatments and he wasn’t advancing in his career fast enough to bankroll that shit. 

Ben is in jail for insurance fraud and arson. He really wasn’t happy with his latest piece, so he had a moment of cowardly weakness and decided he could make sure it “accidentally” burned down and then he could have this black spot wiped from his corpus of work, and the investors wouldn’t get mad at him. He got caught.

Richie is in jail for felony drug charges. Like possession of some hardcore shit. It’s pretty self explanatory. Richie just likes to party. Also maybe Richie was selling that shit too. Like he got in big trouble. 

Mike is in jail for burglary and grand larceny. Basically Mike robbed a museum because he was convinced an artifact was necessary for some aspect of his research. I mean if this is a no Pennywise au, Mike probably has some unaddressed mental illnesses (but this was definitely inspired by him fucking robbing Native Americans for the ritual). 

Bev wouldn’t be in jail with them, but she would be in jail for kidnapping and aggravated assault. Because she and Kay decided it was nigh time they beat the shit out of Tom, and that worm took them to court. Bev threw herself under the bus and claimed she forced Kay to help her.

Eddie is the biggest mystery to me. I mean I guess he could be in jail for impersonating a doctor, forgery (writing himself doctor’s notes), obstruction of justice (because he tried to destroy evidence), and perjury, just to be mean. So yeah. Eddie definitely was trying to get himself prescriptions he knew no doctor would give him for years, and finally he got busted. And Eddie being Eddie, only dug his hole deeper. (A joke option for Eddie could be vehicular manslaughter because his giant ass car could easily kill someone eek).

Bill is in jail for murder. He straight up killed a bitch. I think though, he would be getting revenge for Georgie. So like, let’s say if this is still a no Pennywise au, then a man still killed Georgie and Bill eventually tracked him down and killed him. 

Basically! They all commit felonies, none of them are sex crimes because that’s a line I don’t think any of us want to cross. I want all of them to have mostly sympathetic motivations for these crimes. The exception might be Richie but to be fair, he isn’t hurting anyone so he doesn’t deserve to be in prison. And I’m guessing that blah blah blah Eddie and Richie end up fucking and being prison husbands insert story beats that every fucking person uses… “I’ll see you on the outside- wait for me.” And throw in witty bantering dialogue as all the Losers become bestest friends in prison.

[stan-denbrough]

I’ve seen so many coming out videos of people telling their friends and family that their gay, and some of the people’s responses are “we know” or “we already guessed it” for the losers that you Hc as gay, how do you think their parents would react? I’m going to be honest I feel like Richies parents would somehow already know, but that’s just me.

Richie’s parents already suspect, but they don’t say anything. This concept is called homo suspicion. In all but the most hippy of parents, it’s a mechanism of guilt. Even parents who are accepting will turn it into “How could you hide it from us, thinking we wouldn’t accept you.”

Homo suspicion doesn’t include the knowing parents who smile to each other as their flaming homo fag child dances out of the room. It doesn’t need to be said, but when he does come out, they usually don’t say “Oh we always knew,” they just say encouraging or supporting things. I don’t think that applies to any of the Losers.

So Richie’s parents are definitely a little “Why won’t he tell us, it’s obvious :( does he think we won’t love him, are we not good parents? :(((” making it largely about themselves. But! They hide that part of themselves. When Richie comes out, they’re nothing but smiles and hugs.

Sonia has homo suspicion for Eddie, but it’s not the generally harmless kind. She’s deathly afraid that Eddie is gay, and actively tries to disprove that nagging thought in the back of her head. She’ll see Eddie do something clockable and she’ll bite her fist, her wormy eyes widening, she’s seeping sweat. “My baby! Not my baby! He’ll die of aids!!” That’s what goes through her head. So when Eddie comes out, it’s trying to cut through a lot of denial and gaslighting. “I knew there was something wrong with you but I tried to protect you! I tried to save you from this disease!! And this is how you repay me! I’m not having it, don’t you ever say something like that to me again, your poor mother!!!” 

And then we get to Bill’s parents, oof. They don’t believe him when he comes out. They think he’s doing it for attention, or to be trendy. “You read about being- being bisexual (said like it’s poison) on the internet and you’re confused.” Actually probably not that disgusted. I think Bill’s parents just brush it off. Like, “You’re straight son lol,” and Bill’s like “I’m telling you I’m not,” and they’re like “Okay sure lol,” and I mean...

Bill definitely employs the ironic closet strategy. If he acts faggy but makes it a joke, he can slowly poke his toes out of the closet. He often jokes about fucking men, playfully flirts with his friends, always “sarcastically” wants to kiss Stan. But the downside is that when you do genuinely come out, some people won’t believe you. Bill’s parents are like “Haha very funny Bill,” and then they get mad when Bill insinuates that they’re really deep down reluctant to accept him. “We’re not homophobic Bill! How dare you accuse us of being hateful!”

I think Stan’s parents would be more taken aback by it. They’d just straight up tell him he’s confused. We don’t know a lot about Andrea, but I think she’d have a little bit of a conflict within herself. I think she suspected from a very early age but Donald was just a clueless bitch. So both of them will confront Stan and scold him for trying to come out to them but Andrea will come to Stan’s room later and be like “Your dad is a fuckhead, I still love you.” But even then... I don’t know, to Stan it still feels like conditional love. Like she’s saying “If you want to choose this lifestyle that’s your choice and I respect your decision.” Andrea will eventually end up holding a sign at Pride but it’ll take her a hot second to get there. 

Ben’s straight, moving on! 

Bev’s parents are not involved, and just the implications of her mom and dad reacting to her being bi or a lesbian... I don’t really want to touch it? So let’s just say, they’re probably not model parents for a child attempting to come out.

Mike’s parents don’t suspect anything, but the minute he tells them they’re excited. They love that they get to discover this new aspect of their son, they’re proud of him for being himself and being brave enough to tell people. They maybe get a little too uncomfortable like William fully asks Mike if he’s a top or bottom at one point and Mike is like “Dad!” And you may ask why I’m taking Mike’s parents from the books, but leaving in the rest of the parents from the movies. And the answer is fuck you! Because it’s what Mike deserves, and it’s what I deserve!
