(some) Loser club HCs
(this was something I started when I was really into IT, but never finished. But I had worked hard on these at the time and I figured why not post them? I only got to 5/7 losers (the last two theres really barely anything- I was writting them down over time, thought dumping basically.
Do keep in mind though, these are pretty old- and I'm not really in the fandom anymore)
Trigger warnings: All of the Losers have trauma, mentions of canon and non canon abuse, mentions of selfharm and suicide (nothing graphic), brief mention of an ED
continue at your own risk
Note: First of all, please keep in mind I only read half the book. So most of what I know is from the (new) movies and the fandom. Most if not all of these are kid/teen losers. Also a lot of this is based around my personal views of the characters, which is why I'm so anxious to post. I may read into the characters totally different than everyone else, but hopefully you'll like some of these. Any of the interactions between Losers can be seen as platonic or romantic as I ship Poly Losers. Whatever you prefer.
Bill-
-Like I said all the Losers have trauma, from pennywise and bullying/abuse, so they all have some form of PTSD. I won't repeat that for every Loser
-Bill also has mild anxiety, even before the whole Georgie situation, and depression
-His stutter makes it hard for him to make any connection with most people in Derry, even adults. They are either impatient or write him off as stupid.
-He is often non verbal when not around the losers
-After the whole Georgie situation his parents neglect him.
-He ends up very skinny because while there is food in the house, it's barely anything. A couple cans of soup, oatmeal, a box of crackers. Maybe some other things but not much.
-He steals his dad’s old clothes. They are too big on him but it's one of the only ways he gets new clothes.
-The other is getting clothes from the Losers or eventually when he gets a job, buying them from cheap places.
-That's also why he wears jorts, he has to cut his own jeans for shorts
-Ok so you know that old lady in the first movie that has the cat and is the last person to see Georgie alive? Yeah Bill goes to visit her
-At first it was to try and get more answers
-But when she has none he gets upset and she invites him in for tea or something
-And then he starts to visit her more- as he is always welcome.
-Eventually he ends up watering her plants or taking care of her cat for a little money. These are things the woman could definitely do on her own, but she know how Bill’s parents are and knows he won't take money without “earning” it
-After a while Bill meets Mike, He ends up helping on his farm.
-He doesn't come around nearly as often, but every so often he’ll surprise her with a visit. Sometimes he’ll even bring Mike.
-Yes I created this whole ass story for a character who doesn't have a name and has like a minute of screen time.. Anyway-
-Bill’s favorite thing to do on the farm is feed the animals. More specifically the chickens.
-He had an incident where he was going to feed the pigs, holding their giant thing of food, when he tripped into the pen. (you know he clumsy)
-He opened his eyes to a bunch of pig snouts that were way too close. He doesn't feed the pigs anymore. Boy is traumatized
-There is one cow that is way sweeter than the others, and so gentle. This cow is Bill’s favorite. He calls him Mike when Mike isn't around. Bill doesn't know that Mike knows
-Bill hates rain
-Drizzles aren't so bad but the harder it rains the worse it is
-Sometimes the Losers come over to comfort him, sometimes he’ll push them away feeling he doesn't deserve it
-He goes bird watching with Stan but ends up falling asleep. Every. Single. Time.
-Stan can't really get mad, everyone knows Bill needs any sleep he can get
-And yeah he has terrible eye bags
-Oh and yes. Every Loser simps for Bill
-When Bill finishes a story he goes to Ben first for spelling or grammar errors or anything that improves the writing that he didnt think of
-Then he goes to mike to read the story and give feedback
-And lastly he’ll go to the other losers to see if the story is actually interesting (because as much as he loves Ben and Mike, they are book nerds and he wants the opinions of people who don't read everyday)
Richie-
-Depressed. Hides behind jokes.
-Often doesn't think about what he says, which is why he made the mistake of making a joke about Eddie's mom. He only did it once and still regrets it.
-Like for real sometimes he’ll close his eyes and just see Eddie’s face after he made the joke and,, yeah
-His parents are also neglectful. (yes yes I know I'm sorry but I'm projecting here) His dad never wanted kids and his mom wanted a girl. Neither got what they wanted
-He learned to pick the machines at the arcade so he always has change on him.
-Tries to get Stan to wear more than simple button ups. He got Stan in one of his shirts ONE time. Stan still hates him for it
-Steals pieces of everyone's food. The losers kind of just let him because one, he won't stop even if they tell him to and two, they know that the boy needs to eat
-He and Bev sneak out often at night. Sometimes they'll do something crazy and illegal and sometimes they’ll just lay on the grass and talk
-Sometimes he and Bev will look for bones in the woods. They have two bird skeletons, one single bird skull, and half a squirrel skeleton so far
-I'd say in modern day he definitely does theatre. He acts
-The rest of the losers do crew
-Until richie can get eddie to try out for a role (that he gets and totally nails)
-I could write a whole separate thing for them doing theatre honestly... Anyways
-Richie is always trying to do impressions of the losers. Eventually he gets it and the Losers have to refrain from murdering him
-Ok this boy is kinda suicidal
-He had self harmed once but Eddie and Stan put a stop to that real quick
-He has abandonment issues and sometimes he can't convince himself that the losers are NOT gonna leave him
-Sometimes when he is alone he dessociates
-I love the hc that when the losers outgrow the clubhouse they move into the attic of Mike’s barn, so a lot of the times the losers are on the farm
-Richie loves the pigs and cows
-One morning Mike went out after a sleepover and found Richie talking and telling jokes to the cows. He didn't say anything.
-Believe it or not, Richie can't be and isn't high energy all the time. Sometimes when he just needs to chill or everything is too much he’ll walk in the woods or, more often than not, go bird watching with Stan
-Although those bird watching sessions never last more than an hour unless Richie falls asleep.
-Sometimes Richie doesn't realize when he is being an asshole, but a lot of the time he does it on purpose because he thinks it's funny.
-Sometimes it is, but Richie doesn't always know how to read the mood
-He hates when someone calls him by his full name. Even if they sound playful
-Oh you know my boy feeds the rats, mice and racoons. He feels connected to them
-Should probably cut his hair. Eddie keeps telling him to cut his damn hair
-Gets ben and Bev into graphic novels
-Eddie and Stan read them too, but only with Richie
-Oh please let this loser play ukulele
-Let him write songs for the other Losers that they never get to hear
-Except maybe when he writes songs with bev, who plays keyboard, late at night
-They're not very good but don't tell them that
-I know a lot of people love punk Richie and I do too but,,, I also love pastel and/or soft Rich
-Maybe he alternates, or he's like me and can't settle on just one
Stan-
Oh boy
Ok if you know me at all you know I project heavily onto this boy, so a lot of these are based around my life :,)
-Ok first of all anxiety. He’s full of it
-And he also has depression and is suicidal even as a kid
-And has OCD
-His dad wants him to be this perfect little jewish boy, no flaws.
-His mom doesn't fight his dad but she isn't like him
-He feels like he doesnt fit in anywhere, not even with the losers sometimes.
-Sometimes he’ll go days without eating. The reason for this depends but is usually because of the sense of control it brings
-Let him and Bev have a friendship you COWARDS
-If things go wrong, or everything is too much he has panic attacks which usually leads to him self harming
Ok on to something more light
-The losers (minus Eddie)bring Stan bird feathers they find randomly so he can tell them what kind of bird it came from
-Eddie doesn't like this because, “do you rEALIZE HOW MANY DISEASES-”
-He and Mike and sometimes Bev go on walks through the barrens. Stan to watch birds, Mike to enjoy nature and Bev to explore
-Yes he has assigned types of birds to the different Losers. He doesn't tell them though
-He likes to sit with Ben because he can be quiet for a long time and he just genuinely likes his company
-He and Eddie play baseball. Sometimes Bill joins
-He also helps Mike on the farm and, of course, loves the chickens
-Its really cute because the chickens get excited when they see him and Bill is lowkey jealous
-His favorite song is The king of rock ‘N’ roll and you can pry that from my cold dead hands
-Richie is so pleasantly surprised when he finds out
-One year for his birthday Richie gives Stan a button up shirt with a pattern of birds on it and he both loves and hates it.
-Will stay locked up in the house for far too long. The Losers make sure to visit if they haven't seen him.
-Although sometimes he shuts them and everyone else out. He won't answer the door. He keeps his blinds shut. Sometimes it's because he just needs that time or sometimes it's because of his depression. Either way the Losers worry.
-Ok but you know this boy has a pet bird. Maybe not when he lives with his parents but most certainly sometime in his life. I like to think he has a small bird, not one of those big boys like a macaw, but maybe a lovebird.
-Does Not like a lot of noise. He has sensory overloads
-Stims but is embarrassed by it
-Has that head bob stim
-Can't stand when his different food touches on his plate
-Richie bought him one of those plates that have dividers as a joke but stan actually uses it all the time
-Every once and a while he loves to just listen to one of the Losers ramble about things they love.
-He most definitely helps any bird he sees that is in even the tiniest bit of trouble
-He, Richie and eventually Eddie paint their nails together. I mean the whole group will at sleepovers and stuff but those three do it most often
-He plays piano. Not by choice but he does kinda enjoy it
-He sits as still as he can in the park where he bird watches, and ends up earning the trust of a few of the birds. They eat from his hand
-Photographs birds!! Has a polaroid (sometimes he photographs the losers too)
-Scrapbooks ! often ends up doing it with another loser
-Makes a scrapbook of the losers, each of them added their own things and comments in different color pens
-Collects stamps with birds and nature on them
-When the Losers go to the quarry Richie always throws his clothes off and onto the ground randomly and Stan always picks them up after him and folds them neatly. He has given up on yelling at Richie for this. Instead he just sighs and does his thing.
-The other losers respect his wish not to just throw their clothes everywhere
-Organizes the others’ stuff when he comes over
-Has had a couple suicide attempts, The losers take turns visiting him in the hospital, He hates them seeing him like that (do i want to write a comfort fic about this?,,perhaps)
-Has Misphobis (when certain sounds trigger someone in ways other may not understand, like chewing)
-Starts a tradition where the losers will write letters to each other (even though they all live close together)
Eddie-
-Does Not actually have asthma, just really bad anxiety, panic attacks and ADHD
-Was the one who helped Bill fix and paint silver when he first got it. They were both around ten
-The first time bill rides down the street without silver breaking or anything going wrong Eddie cries
-Both because he's so happy it finally worked and because “oh god Bill is gonna kill himself on that thing and i helped him fix it oh god-”
-But that aside Eddie likes fixing the other losers bikes too. They come to him first when something is wrong.
-Eddie really loves to go on carnival rides, it's getting him on the ride thats the hard part
-One time the losers went on a trip and Richie would not stop talking about this rollercoaster. He was so excited
-Then they got there and everyone got on, but Eddie was stopped. Turns out he was too short. So Richie stays with him while the others go. They get food <3
-Eddie would honestly do anything for any of the losers let's be honest
-He steals their clothes. All.The. Time.
-Richie sees Eddie taking Stan’s clothes one day and asks if he could do the same to which Stan says,“fuck no”
-He's always leaning on one of the losers or touching them in some way. Like they be chilling at the quarry after a swim and he full on curls up in Mikes lap
-,,praise kink. Just saying
-When he was younger he wasn't allowed in Stan’s house (and Stan wasnt allowed in his) because Stan is jewish
-Leans on Bev and watches as she sews
Bev-
-Hates when anyone touches her outside of the losers
-Even sometimes the losers touching her is too much, they always ask before they do
-No one is allowed to touch her hair
-She keeps it short and panics when it grows long again, only after she gets over her trauma does she let it grow out
-Don't call her Bevvie for the love of god
-Has a hard time actually being in love. Crushes are a bit different
Smells like strawberries and smoke
-Steals all the losers clothes all the time (wears them better too)
-After meeting Mike she becomes vegetarian :)
and there you have it- I didnt edit this, so some of these could be completely stupid I have no idea. I just said I long while ago I’d post them and why not? otherwise theyre just sitting in my google drive abandoned
hope you got some joy out of them heh

Okay I've talked about Stan's pet parrot named Whisper but now I wanna talk about Richie's ferret named Trash.
When the Losers were going to college and Richie dropped out (literally maybe a month after Bill did) Richie got lonely during the day. Bill was too busy with his writing to pay Richie any attention and we all know Richie needs it to survive.
So one day Richie went roaming out in town while all the Losers were in class and/or busy and he finds himself in a petstore.
There's this ratty looking creature in a cage all by himself and he's half off bc he's missing part of his ear. The creature is curled up in a sad ball and it slowly looks up at Richie as he approaches.
It was love at first sight.
Richie has never interacted with a ferret before, let alone know what they need for care, so yes it was a little bit reckless when he walked out of the store with the ferret and bag fulls of stuff he wasn't sure if he needed or not. (The store attendants were no help.)
Part of his purchase was fucking rabbit hay- that's how unsure he was about what a ferret needs, so he bought a bit of everything.
Naturally, Bill is the first one who meets the ferret when Richie brings him home.
"Stan and Eddie are going to muh-murder you."
*holds the ferret up Simba style* "But look at him! How could I leave him?!"
Bill chuckles when Richie tells him he's named the ferret Trash so he counts that as a win.
Like Bill said, Stan and Eddie lose their shit when they get home.
"That thing is not staying in my house Richard!"
"Do you know how many diseases it's probably carrying?!"
Look, Richie doesn't cry, he's never been one too, but while Stan and Eddie are scolding him, feeding off each other and oblivious to his hurting feelings, Richie starts to tear up. Mike cuts in and puts a stop to it, saying Richie can keep Trash if it makes him happy. Mike is the only Loser (besides Bev sometimes) that Stan and Eddie can't argue with.
Ben and Bill take Richie back out, to a better pet store, and actually buy the basics for Trash. Bev writes out a list for them after some quick little research. Then they all get the treat of watching Ben build the ferret cage, they like to watch his hands work.
Stan and Eddie still hate the ferret. They don't want to play with it, they're always harping on the smell, and overall they're just bitter bc Mike allowed Richie to keep it.
But they keep hearing all the rest of the Losers laughing in Richie's room from them watching Richie and Trash's antics. Bill tells them one day that he swears Trash is just Richie in animal form. Bev starts sewing little outfits for Trash and Ben builds Trash an elaborate tunnel system as one his class projects.
Eddie cracks first. He does his own research and finds out that ferrets don't carry diseases that can harm humans but actually they can catch colds from humans. When Richie gets the sniffles he tells him that maybe Trash should room with Bev or Bill until he's over his cold so that Trash doesn't catch it- 'but he totally doesn't care about the ferret'.
He keeps finding out all these fun facts about ferrets through his research and one day...he sneaks into Richie's room to finally meet the thing. Trash pounces on his feet the moment he's in the door and Eddie freaks out but then Trash backs up, doing his little ferret dance and okay Eddie falls in love with his little chirps. That's what does him in.
Richie is very smug when he comes home and sees that Eddie is still playing with Trash.
Stan takes a little bit longer. He's not mad about the ferret anymore, it's more of a principal thing. He's a stubborn bitch when he wants to be. He's perfectly okay ignoring that there's a ferret in Richie's bedroom.
Until he's home alone one day, a rare day off, and he's watching tv on the couch and slowly he ends up falling asleep. When he wakes up, there's a ferret sized lump in his lap.
Richie accidentally left his door cracked open.
He doesn't want to move the thing because he doesn't know how it'll react to being woken up. So he's kinda stuck there and eventually, hesitantly, he decides to try petting it. Trash snuggles closer in his lap.
Bev comes home and finds the pair, quickly taking a photo before he can stop her. He's fussing about it but when Bev tells him that Trash never snuggles with anyone he shuts up.
Stanley Uris loves feeling special and the fact that Trash will only cuddle with him wins him over- he's not happy about it. Yes he is.
