Eddie is a horrible, awful, absolutely despicable human being.
But in his defense, tele-therepy should be illegal for anyone as loud as Richie Tozier.
Eddie wasn’t trying to overhear Richie’s session, honest! But the laundry room is right next to Richie’s office, and when Richie wears his headphones, he has an even harder time controlling the volume of his voice than normal, allowing Eddie to hear just about everything said on Richie’s side of the conversation.
Eddie was in the process of switching over his whites from the washer to dryer when he hears him, muffled but unmistakable, in the next room.
“I mean, I can’t just tell him,” Richie says. And after a beat, totally scandalized and kind of bitchy, answers, “Uh, he could hear me?”
Eddie snorts to himself at that, tossing a pair of briefs into the dryer.
“He doesn’t,” Richie says now, matter-of-factly. “He won’t.”
Eddie tries to hurry along the process a little, beginning to feel guilty about ease-dropping, but the next thing he hears gives him pause, despite himself.
“I don’t want to ruin what we have with my stupid feelings. I just got him back, the last thing I want to do is push him away again.”
Methodically, Eddie shakes out a dress shirt, slower and quieter than usual. For….no reason.
“I’m not ‘using negative self-talk’,” Richie gasps, offended, “I’m being honest with myself, which is something you told me I need to practice in my day-to-day, Julie.”
Eddie rolls his eyes, absolutely siding with Julie on this one. Richie has the worst habit of going down doom spirals, concocting ridiculous and unfounded hypothetical scenarios to talk himself out of believing anything that could make him feel joy.
It’s infuriating, especially because Eddie knows he does the same.
“You’d understand if you met him,” Richie continues, sounding sad and almost…wistful? “There’s no way Eddie could love me back.”
Eddie immediately slams the dryer door shut and bolts from the room, not even turning the dryer on in his haste to get as far away as quickly as possible, overcome in a mixture of guilt, shock, panic, and, he flushes, excitement.
Holy shit.

AU where richie is a struggling actor doing odd jobs to make ends meet who has started putting up every possible craigslist ad he can think of (lawn mower, house egger, tutor, party performer, etc.) and he desperately adds "private investigator" one night.
myra and eddie are recently married and he's been staying at the office later and later each night, myra is convinced he's cheating and hires richie to investigate. she's paying pretty well so richie agrees despite hardly remembering putting the ad up and having no idea what he's doing.
he goes to follow eddie around after work when he's working overtime he just goes for a jog, gets some coffee and does some extra work done at the coffee shop, then goes home. richie reports back but myra wants him to keep watching for a bit longer.
meanwhile, eddie knew myra hired a private investigator since he handles the credit card bills, so he was just hoping after a few days of richie just seeing him do nothing of note she'd accept it and move on. but she doesn't, and by the end of the first week he is losing his mind over this annoying guy trailing after him everywhere he goes during what is supposed to be the relaxing part of his day, especially since he has to pretend to be getting work done where he'd normally go on a longer run or hang out with friends or catch a movie or something.
after a week he's so sick of it that he just calls richie out and tells him he knows he's there and he will get police involved if he doesn't stop. but richie is just so friendly and has a wicked pout and he's actually kind of funny and now that he's looking at his big awkward smile up close he almost seems familiar?? and eddie feels kind of bad about trying to cut off what is clearly a pretty important source of income for him.
so they start hanging out after eddie's done work, richie can still get his weird little creep shots of eddie doing work, but eddie doesn't have to miss out on the other stuff he actually wanted to be doing.
they end up hitting it off really well and eddie manages to rope richie into jogging a grand total of once, but richie will just get some writing done while he waits for eddie to finish then they'll get coffee or go to the movies or something.
-they start hanging out at richie's apartment too, playing video games and cooking and dancing around the kitchen
-eventually eddie realizes he needs to divorce myra because he has about 8000 times more fun with richie than he ever has with myra
-he gives up the house in the divorce and moves in with richie

palate cleanser with a snippet from my baby script, because if I'm always too busy to draw it I might as well at least get to draw one of the cuter scenes

Mike wonders how much longer Richie’s shenanigans will last before he’s booted out for blabbing so loudly. Not to mention drinking something so sticky near the return cart… Still, listening to his voices never fails to cheer him up during his otherwise dull shifts at the Derry Public Library.
In another life where I am better at writing, Richie and Mike friendship dynamics would always be at the top of my "details to include" list in my fics.

(Part 2 of this)
“Wait, back?!”
Eddie’s head shoots up, his eyes wide. “Then!” he cries. “You liked me back then, is what I was saying!”
“You liar!” Richie laughs, clearly delighted. “You fucking liked me too!”
“I never said that!” Eddie tries to deny, but it sounds weak to even himself.
The thing is, and god, it’s embarrassing to admit, but Eddie had always had a bit of a thing when it came to Richie.
He didnt think it was exactly romantic, and definitely not anything sexual, when he was a kid; little-him would have been positively scandalized at the mere thought of it. But he was drawn to Richie, wanted his approval, his respect, needed Richie to include him in his inside jokes and think he was just as funny as Eddie found him.
Hell, maybe that was Eddie’s version of love. Not that he would know.
“I hate you,” he tells Richie, whose grin stretches even wider across his face. It’s basically an admission and they both know it. “You’re one to talk, anyway.” He gestures to the carving. “I wasn’t the one carving our initials into make-out spots.”
“Yeah, but you were cute. Liking you made sense,” Richie replies. “You remember me as a kid? You were into that gangly, bug-eyed, buck-toothed little dork? Embarrassing.”
“You were so cute!” Eddie cries, throwing away the act, offended on young-Eddie’s behalf to have his taste questioned. “Plus, you were cool.”
Richie bit back a snort. “I was not cool.”
“Shut up, you were!” Eddie looks him over, pouting just a little. “You’re still cool.”
“Cooler than you, Mr. Risk Analysis, but that isn’t saying much.” Eddie throws his arms up, ready to lay into him with the fury of a thousand suns, when Richie speaks again, quieter, “You’re still cute, ya know.”
Eddie flushes, glances at Richie briefly to catch him flushing as well, and bends down to pick up a stick from the side of the road. He gestures to the carving, shyly. “Wanna give this a bit of a facelift?” he asks. “We could grab a beer, after.”
Richie, looking like Christmas has come early, grabs a stick and pops back up, beaming and blushing adorably. “It’s a date.”

nobody is more delusional than reddie fans. somehow, the ENTIRE fandom decided that eddie kaspbrak is alive and well, despite the fact that his death was written in the novel almost 40 years ago, and i hardly ever see reddie content/it content awknoleging that eddie is dead. we all just pretend that never happened.

every year, one member of the club picks the subject for a group costume. that year, it was Ben's turn...
most self indulgent thing I have ever drawn in my life lmaooo. I was going to have them in accurate costumes at first, but knowing it's the 90s, I thought it would be more fun to try to imagine how they might do it themselves instead. I want to do another one based on this as well, but I'm not sure if I'll have enough time, so I'm just posting this now...
