@ridichi3 said : “ i had to do that… just once. “ accepting.
it’s instinctive, the way bill’s hand lifts to rest against richie’s cheek when he closes the distance between them. breath is caught in throat along with the rapid beating of his heart. he doesn’t know why rich is kissing him, but he knows that maybe he likes it. when he pulls away, bill’s eyes are wide and curious. he is keenly aware of the fact that he should say something. richie is staring at him and the feeling of his lips are lingering against bill’s, but no words are rising. he’s waiting for the punchline that never comes. richie isn’t laughing, so that meant it wasn’t a joke. “ i don’t un - un - understand, rich. “ bill’s voice is soft and he swallows down the nerves he can feel building. this just made moving that much more difficult.

@claimdeath sent in : ‘ 🤞 ‘
the script is awful ------ one of the worst he’s ever seen & bill suddenly feels a bit of pressure knowing he was the one tasked with having to fix all this , visibly grimacing at some of the things he keeps seeing , red pen crossing out almost every word. the white page was slowly becoming nothing but furious scribbles , a proper representation of how this movie was already making him feel. he’s made several successful books & stories , even written his own screenplays , but fixing someone else’s original ( cruddy ) work ? this was a whole different beast entirely & he knew that going in , but that didn’t make it any easier. oh christ denbrough , what did you get yourself into ? you finally hit the wall , old man. you can’t write your way out this time. deciding that he was going to be around for a while , bill slowly sinks down onto the nearby street curb , not too far from the on - location shoot that was happening just a few feet away. a few scenes have been kept even after the first writer had been given the boot , but they couldn’t stop shooting just for bill to finish his re - writes ------ schedules & such needing to be kept if they wanted this movie to get out as planned. he’ll have to just work as speedily as he can & finish up before the approved scenes were done shooting. he’s used to tight deadlines , but this was going to really take some talent on his part. it’s no wonder why you’re hair is turning gray already , he thinks , barely reaching his thirties & a strand of silver was already falling over his forehead , a reminder that time was of the essence. he sighs ------ all you can do is try to leave your mark here on this earth , do or make something that will be remembered & you in turn will be too. hopefully i’m not remembered for making this lousy script any worse , he muses , turning the page & already beginning to scribble at some of the dialogue he finds , this scene particularly worse than the last.
so focused on his work , bill barely notes the tap on his left shoulder , turning in that direction , only to find no one there. huh , weird. he’s about to go back to work , but then he’s met with a pair of eyes that mirror his own , jumping back a bit in mild shock , almost dropping his script in the process. new york times best seller & world - renowned horror writer william denbrough is secretly a big scaredy cat. think she’ll break the story ? he sighs , his shoulder nudging into one penny dusek , an actress who was here to shoot some of the scenes. he doesn’t know her too well , but apparently she had an affinity for spooking writers out of their pants & well , if he wasn’t awake before , he certainly was now. ❝ good lord , penny. you might want to warn a guy next time you decide to pop in like that. ❞ mock pout appears , but it disappears with a winning smile , never one to harbor anger over something so silly. she was kind of mischievous he’s come to realize & he can admire that a bit. reminded him of someone else he knew long ago. ❝ already done with your scene or do you need someone to go over lines with ? i’m game for the latter , but i’ve been looking over this dialogue so much that i don’t know if i’ll be much help. it’s kinda making me ill. ❞ he teases.
non - verbal starters / selectively accepting !

“ y - you shouldn’t be... be out here. “ bill is aware the words are hypocritical as he speaks them. he has a reason to be out in the barrens. georgie. he’s going to find him, has to. georgie wouldn’t be missing if he had just gone out that day. he can brave the clown if it means finding him. his fingers clench into his palm at his side, a nervous tick, and he keeps eyes on the unfamiliar face. “ it’s not s - safe. “ / @353calls
