i think that stanley would actually really enjoy horror movies because he is very much the type of person who is like "it's not real. it's a movie. i know it's not real, so why would i be scared of it. what do you mean this movie is scary, it's literally people acting it's not real" and so because of that whenever the losers have movie night he always chooses a horror movie.
and, im also imagining that he does this because richie DOES get scared of horror movies (payback for when richie made fun of him for being scared of spiders)
also!!! he finds out that patty ALSO loves horror movies so for their first date stan finds this drive-in movie thing that is playing horror movies all night, so he takes her there and they have a movie marathon together :3

If you had to choose one version of It that is as close to perfect as possible, as close to your personal headcanons for the characters as you could possibly get, which universe would you choose?

You know how hard it is to know that everybody's having fun without you, without even considering that you might want to join in?

I think there's something pleasant about slipping back into an old hyperfixation
Sure, it feels like you can never truly escape and reality is a joke, but it's warm and comfortable and familiar, like putting on a shirt you used to love wearing but then it kinda slipped into the back of the closet
Sorry about your emotions though
NO YEAH I AGREE
Like it's pleasant but also bittersweet, it's remembering all sort of things you might have forgotten, and why it was so important to you back then and also right now. It can be introspective, just as much as it can be familiar.
but god do you suffer and god do you end up thinking there is no escape from your fate. It's really 'oh no i'm back on my bullshit' type of experience. It's nice but goddamn.

And the first 5 minutes of our film is dedicated to introducing this cute teenage girl! Aww, look at the playful banter she has with her mother, ohh and she's got a boyfriend too? Sweet. Are you attached yet? Good! Because we're killing her off! This movie ain't about her 😂

okay so I know I'm 4 years late to watching Midsommar (I really liked it btw), but I have to know
Am I the only one who really hates the fan theory that the cult was behind Dani's family's murder-suicide?

every day i genuinely wish it 2019 had nothing to do with it 1986 because when you compare them there’s no contest. unfortunately it 2019 is the kind of movie that genuinely shreds my brain (shitty horror with fun characters and insane plot) so whenever i want to feel batshit about it i have to mentally separate it from the book.
#sorry for saying this often but sometimes it sucks that most people’s familiarity with the story and characters you love is soooo different#from the source material.#like i just saw really good art but it’s about the movie version of the characters! it’s just painful bc i love the book sm#but i also really enjoy james ransone dicking around and i love mr mustafa sooo much which sucks for me because i can’t help but recognize#them as shallower versions of themselves! like miniseries mike is visually so cool with his long trench coat and the scene where he and bill#ride around on silver is so good! you really respect that guy and all the effort he’s going thru and you can FEEL his suffering esp when he#talks about going back for the silver slugs and that small gesture indicating the grey in his hair…. he’s just really dignified and tired#and i really respect him. he’s book mike! but mr mustafa got a version of mike that you pity. he’s like a wet cat and kind of pathetic and#honestly completely different from himself as a child which is obviously neither of the actor’s faults but it makes me sad#so youre watching it 2019 and if you hadnt read the book you’re like wow this is so scary for mike he’s doing all this on the off chance and#you’re actually scared for him when pennywise calls him a madman. that was like really good line delivery btw it haunts me. so you watch the#movie and youre like jeez! i feel really bad for mike i understand if he went a lil crazy!#meanwhile book and miniseries mike and like really genuinely well put together people and theyre suffering from the fear and especially in#the book mike’s loss of his dad is absolutely heartwrenching but you can see all the effort he’s putting into logging this insane history of#derry (so much so that when the library floods at the end of the book and destroys the town records mike is the most knowledgeable source of#derry history at least until he forgets it) and it’s just. theyre completely different characters. and i like book mike the best :( so#also like the new stuff like canon bill hader crying over his miserable gay life would absolutely make it a top ten movie of all time for me#but the thing is I KNOW HE’S BETTER IN THE BOOK. it makes me insane#my post#stephen king#it#ben and beverly stay winning always tho which is why they’re the best#it still makes me sad to see richie and eddie and bill and MIKE and stan get mishandled#and btw i am absolutely not saying that people who like the movies over the miniseries and the book are wrong to! it’s definitely fair to#enjoy some movies that are genuinely really fun. but as someone who finds the book much more meaningful and the miniseries to be a solid#adaptation sometimes it just sucks that the most popular interpretation of one of my favorite books is so so different and just…#less compelling. ough i need to rewatch the miniseries STAT

26. “I’m doing it, shut up.”
idiots to lovers, modern day au, wu baiqi x fu xuan, canonically disabled characters, no relation to the original canon modern day spin-off series, ~2.1k, read here on ao3
Fu Rong watches with disbelief as her sister once again misinterprets Wu Baiqi’s words and turns his invitation of a date for two that night into an invitation for their friend group to go out that night to the movies.  Granted, “Would you like to go to the movies tonight?” is pretty ambiguous on its own.  Still, she shares a look with her boyfriend Xu Jin, both of them exasperated over the other two’s antics.
Fu Rong had to hand it to Wu Baiqi, though.  He took the idea with grace and pivoted well mid-conversation.  Fu Xuan and Wu Baiqi walked back to the small group and Fu Xuan broke the news, addressing them all.  “So, movies tonight?  Maybe that horror film Wen Ping has been talking about?”
“It’s either that or watch that animated thing for kids that Rong-Rong seems to be interested in,” Wen Ping teases as Wu Baiqi sits next to him, setting his cane between his leg and the arm of the bench.
“Wen Ping!”  Fu Rong scolds.  “All I said was that from a design standpoint, the animation style—”
“—style was completely different from anything mainstream today,” Gu Yuan finishes her friend’s sentence.  “Wen Ping is right, though,” she goes on to say, agreeing with her boyfriend.  “The only people who are interested in that movie are you and your younger brother.”
Fu Rong turns to her other friend, Lan Xiang, for support, but Lan Xiang just gives her an apologetic smile.
“Horror film it is,” Xu Jia says, ending the conversation.  Fu Rong and Guo Rui share a commiserating look, the only two of the group to dislike horror movies.
--
“Finally, it took you guys forever to get here,” Gu Yuan jokes as the Fu sisters walk into the lobby of the theater.  Wu Baiqi rolls in behind them, his expression pinched despite him trying to mask it.  At the sight of that look, she loses her joviality.  “Is everything okay?”
“It’s alright,” he reassures her, “the night ended up colder than I was expecting, and my old injury decided it was better for me to roll than walk.  I took my pain medication before we left, though, so it should be kicking in soon.”
Gu Yuan nods, and sets her hand on his shoulder gently.  Both she and Wu Baiqi hated the seasonal cold because of how it always seemed to make their old injuries ache more than ever.
Xu Jin and Xu Jia walk in shortly after and apologize for being late.  “The traffic was worse than normal at this time,” Xu Jia says to the group, accepting the hug in greeting from Lan Xiang.
“Is everyone here now?”  Wen Ping asks, pulling the small stack of tickets from his jacket.  He stands up and starts taking a head count, an excited smile appearing when the count revealed the entire group was there.  “Awesome!  We can grab our seats now.”  He turns to the left and headed for the very end of the hall towards the room where the movie was showing.
Guo Rui and Fu Rong end up at the end of the line, and he bumps her arm with his softly.  “Lucky number thirteen, I guess.”  He pursed his lips until they formed a straight line, his voice sour.
“Xu Jin and Wen Ping owe us so hard,” Fu Rong says, agreeing.
They both let out a sigh and pick up their pace a bit to catch up with the others.
--
“That movie was so good,” Wen Ping cries, throwing one of his hands in the air.
Gu Yuan giggled at her boyfriend’s antics.  “I agree.  The dialogue was masterfully written.”
“The practical effects were nice,” Guo Rui offered, looking slightly green.  “Very, uhm, believable.”
“You say that as if you weren’t hiding behind Rong’er the entire time,” Fu Xuan teases, walking next to Wu Baiqi.  He looked at her as if she hung the stars.
“I thought the costumes were good,” Fu Rong says, her tone more defensive than necessary.  She was still tense throughout her entire body from the film.  “The score definitely was perfect for how eerie the film was."
She stumbles slightly as Xu Jin came up and hugged her from behind, but regained her balance quickly.  It always amazed people who didn’t know them just how soft and sweet of a boyfriend that Xu Jin is.  “What I thought was most interesting about the film was how it all depended on choice.  Everything that happened in the film could have been avoided if the main guy told his wife-to-be the truth.  Even his death at the end was a choice that the wife didn’t need to make.  I mean, she did,” the group nods emphatically, “but it was all her husband’s lack of saying anything that led to his demise.”
Lan Xiang agreed, finishing off the last of her soda.  “I thought the older brother didn’t deserve to die; especially not at the hands of that horrible woman he had married.  He was the only one to tell the girl the truth, even if it was too late.”   She opens her mouth like she wanted to say more, but closed it and shook her head.
“Xiang-Xiang,” Fu Rong says, seeing her friend’s hesitance, “what else did you want to say?”
“I just, oh this is so embarrassing,” Lan Xiang says, pulling on Xu Jia’s arm so that it hid her face.  “I just thought that it was romantic the way that he said she didn’t deserve to die because she was Good, and then he ended up dying for her!”
To her surprise, Gu Yuan agrees instantly.  “He definitely would not have even talked to her if they had met before she and his brother did.  He seems like someone who would see her as too good for himself and use his family history and insecurities as a blanket for that.  He would push her away without finding out if she would love him the way he probably deserved to be.”
The entire group goes silent, no one missing the double meaning to her words.  It was no secret that Wu Baiqi’s relationship with his family was not the greatest, and nobody knew better than the Xus and Fu Rong just how much he saw Fu Xuan as better than him, as someone who deserves better than someone like him.
Despite everyone trying not to look at Fu Xuan and Wu Baiqi, they still found their eyes drawn to the two before flicking away quickly.  The silence carried, filling the space between everyone.
Guo Rui was the first to break it, feeling sorry for his cousin for being put on the spot in such a way.  “I, uh, I don’t know about the rest of you guys,” he starts awkwardly, pushing his hands into the pockets of his jacket, “but I think I could go for some ice cream now?”  Due to his nerves, his statement ended up much more like a question.
Everyone else took pity on Guo Rui and agreed, the previous awkward moments forgotten by everyone but him and his cousin.  After the group decided on an ice cream parlor, Fu Rong pulled her sister into conversation about what she would do if she was in that situation.  Luckily enough, the ice cream parlor was within the mall complex, so it would only take a few minutes to get there.  Guo Rui made eye contact with Wu Baiqi, a silent request for him to hold back behind the group.  He agrees.
“So,” Wu Baiqi starts, pulling up next to Guo Rui and pushing off, following the group.  “What’s up?”
Guo Rui almost laughed at his cousin’s false casualness.  “You heard what Gu Yuan said.  Are you going to do anything about it?”
“I am doing it, shut up.”  The older of the two flushed a light pink and refused to look at Guo Rui.
“Right,” he agrees, tone full of disbelief.  “I can totally tell by how you,” he pretends to look at his hand as if there were notes written on it, “don’t do anything about your crush on Xuan-jie.”
“If I were a worse person, I would run over your foot,” Wu Baiqi says, a quick move of his wrist swings him closer to Guo Rui.
His cousin laughs, knowing even if Wu Baiqi were a worse person, if Wu Baiqi was anything like his father, he still wouldn’t.  He cares too much and too greatly to ever do that.  “I’m sure you would.  Are you ever going to say something to her?”
“I, uh,” Wu Baiqi says, looking behind Guo Rui with panic painted all over his expression, “I don’t think I have to.  You did for me.”
Guo Rui winces and turns around to see the Fu sisters standing behind him.  “When, when did you two get here?  I could’ve sworn you were ahead of us…”  He trails off at the mischievous look in Fu Rong’s eyes.
She grabs his arm and gently pushes her sister forward before pulling him away.  She calls out to her sister and his cousin a “Have fun, kids!” and then Guo Rui finds himself whisked back to the group.  Fu Rong drags him into the conversation, and he complies, but his curiosity still prickles in the back of his mind.
Eventually, the group decides to not wait around on the last two members and walk into the ice cream parlor, splitting into two groups.  Xu Jin, Wen Ping, and Gu Yuan go up to order the ice cream, the three of them being able to hold nine orders altogether.  The others—Fu Rong, Lan Xiang, Xu Jia, and Guo Rui—get busy pushing two tables together so that everyone could eat together.  Settling down at the tables, Guo Rui looks across at Fu Rong, now able to act on his curiosity.
“You could have told me that that’s what you were going to do, you know.”
“But I know you,” she counters, “and you would’ve wimped out on me.”
Guo Rui protests, but Fu Rong cuts him off.  “You care about your cousin’s happiness a lot, and it’s something everyone here respects, but you also keep his secrets well.  You would’ve talked about something else, knowing I would appear with my sister.”
He looks next to him to Xu Jia for help, expecting the elder to back him up, but to his dismay, Xu Jia says, “I have known you for some time now, and Rong’er is right.  You would one-hundred percent fail to follow through on the plan.”
Lan Xiang looks at Fu Rong with something akin to wonder in her eyes.  “You terrify me, Nongnong.”  Fu Rong smiles, taking the compliment that it was.
The bells jingle behind him and Xu Jia, but they don’t bother looking up.  Guo Rui was sulking and Xu Jia was attempting to, in his slightly awkward way, comfort him.  Lan Xiang watched Xu Jin, Wen Ping, and Gu Yuan as the workers gave them the orders.  She was ready to jump in if they needed help, but it appeared they had it all, no pun intended, in hand.
“And anyway,” Fu Rong says, her voice smug, “my plan worked out.”  She looked like the cat who got the cream as her boyfriend, Gu Yuan, and Wen Ping set down the nine orders.  Everyone looked to the doors where Fu Xuan and Wu Baiqi were.
“Well, they clearly worked out their issues,” Wen Ping comments dryly, watching the two lovebirds try to not look like they were head-over-heels.
Well, at least Fu Xuan was.  Her smile kept breaking through her calm façade, though, betraying her.
Wu Baiqi always looked at her like she was the only woman in the world that mattered to him.
The two of them reached the tables and took the remaining two spots.  Wu Baiqi took Fu Xuan’s hand, holding it gently in his, and set their hands on the table between them.  “Okay, alright, get it over with already.”  He sighs, preparing for the onslaught of teasing that was sure to come.
“We’re really happy for you,” Fu Rong says, her voice a special kind of soft that she normally only uses with her sister and Xu Jin.
The rest of the table agrees fervently before Gu Yuan pipes up, “God, it took you long enough, though.  Literally, it’s been 84 years.”  And like magic, the floodgates opened up as ice cream was passed around.
The nine of them enjoyed the rest of their night like that, laughter and chatter surrounding them.
Wu Baiqi turns to his cousin and says only loud enough that Guo Rui could hear, “I’m finally happy.  Really, truly happy.”
Guo Rui claps his cousin on the shoulder and chokes up a bit.  “You deserve it.”
Little did they know that on Wu Baiqi’s other side, Fu Xuan was saying the same thing to her younger sister.
