“I can’t believe I didn’t realize it was you.”
Ben smiles and absently runs his thumb along the back of Beverly’s hand. “Big Bill’s pretty charismatic, I don’t blame you for thinking it was him.”
Bev blows a raspberry and ruffles his hair, sticking out her tongue. “Oh shush, new kid,” she laughs. “You Got It.”
Ben grins at the New Kids on the Block song title drop, and Bev grins back at him, as they fall into a comfortable and casual cuddle. After a moment he sighs. “It took us a while, but at least we figured it out, unlike some people.”
Bev makes a curious little hum. “What people?” she asks. Ben blinks down at her in surprise.
“What people?” he repeats. Bev nods, so he chuckles. “Uh, Richie and Eddie?” he says, like it’s obvious.
“What?!” Bev practically screeches, spinning to look him face to face. “Richie and Eddie?!”
“Yeah?” Ben says, surprised but amused. “I mean, Richie for sure, but I’m like, eighty percent sure Eddie is—“
“Richie and Eddie?!” Bev cries out again. “Our Richie and Eddie?! Since when?!”
“Since middle school, at least,” Ben laughs. “I thought it was obvious!”
“No!” Bev gasps, looking like her entire world has just flipped upside down. “I mean, yeah, okay, maybe I can kinda see it looking back, but…” She shook her head. “How did you know?”
“Lovesick recognizes lovesick,” he says with a shrug. “I don’t think Eddie realized, well, anything that was happening around him, honestly, but Richie was absolutely smitten. It was adorable.”
“Oh my god,” Bev breathes, and then goes quiet, and Ben can practically see the gears turning as a mischievous little smirk creeps across her lips. “We need to meddle,” she declares.
Ben cringes, but it’s definitely more of a grin. “Do we?”
“Uh, absolutely! Call for reinforcements,” she says, beaming, “let’s play matchmaker.”

scummy floyb is so beloved,,, I think about sleazy all the time bc it was so hot to me idk why,,, floyd calling reader a good girl may or may not have rewired by brain chemistry 😵💫
so when you say fwb floyb I immediately jump to scummy floyb (I miss my wife 😔) but all the concepts sound so good!! Mersex with captive Floyd orz orz orz
-🦈
Sleazy has a fond place in my heart. <3 there's something so yummy about that concept. Maybe it's because that scene is intended to be part of a larger work. >:D aaaaaaaa Floyd calling you "good girl" also does something to me. 🫣 in a low, raspy voice as well... I love scummy, sleazy Floyb. ( ꈍ◡ꈍ)
I might explore that fwb concept more, but mer sex is also quite tempting...... I had a lot of fun writing it with Jade in his fwb fic, so I need to write it with Floyd at some point. Omg and then there's the blessing that is summer Floyb!!!!! OTL
I love the idea of Floyd not realizing he's in love when he's so deep in the fwb. He's doing all of these things that make him feel like less of a fuck buddy and more of a boyfriend, but both of you refuse to recognize and acknowledge that. You keep telling everyone you're not a couple; you're not even all that close (yes, you are). Floyd's just pussy-drunk, not in love. Definitely not!!!

the losers as things I said in high school
Ben: You know what turns ME on? Architecture.
Bev: Oh I'm so sorry you can't cope with the fact that my taste in men was determined at age 11 by Lord of the Rings characters
Bill: I need a hot pocket full of antidepressants
Eddie: Thanks! Now I have to kinkshame ALL of Veggie Tales!
Mike: YOU'VE never had to experience the existential dread of wondering if your grandfather is a closeted furry
Richie: Don't you love it when your trashy cousin comes over and shows you communist propaganda?
Stan: I have elected to not practice flute today, and will instead be having a mental breakdown
(Bonus:)
Eddie: THAT'S why I'm dating you! I'm so horrified I can't tear myself away!
Richie: So it's like dating a trainwreck?
Eddie: Exactly!
Richie: ...am I a hot trainwreck?

finding out people are into IT for pennywise is so?? to me. like. sure he's an interesting villain but i literally could not care less. i would love IT just as much if there was no pennywise as long as the loser character exploration stayed in tact. its all about character study for me here man, IT didn't scare me at all, even when i was like thirteen, so pennywise was only ever a means of exploring the loser's characters for me.
anyways there are TWENTY FIVE pennywise pop figures and only six of those are re-colors, the rest are completely unique. meanwhile theres only one of each loser except bev who gets a "bloody" version. like. WHAT? theres no adult losers pop figures but theres TWENTY FOUR PENNYWISE ONES? who the hell cares about "pennywise with wig" i want adult mike hanlon funko pop and i want him NOW. and its not that theres no 2019 film pennywise pop figures, theres "pennywise with spider legs", and "pennywise with skateboard", and "pennywise with beaver hat", and "pennywise with (i love derry) balloon", and "pennywise funhouse", and "pennywise funhouse [bloody]", and "pennywise with blade" which isn't even all of the it chapter 2 pennywise funko's but... like look! that's seven boring pennywise funko pops! where they could've made adult loser ones. idk it just makes no sense to me. who is buying "pennywise with balloon" i want a funko pop of adult mike and i will give him pride of place among my figures.
i don't even like funko's usually but i love the loser's they're silly to me and i deserve the adult losers on my shelf <3
