Richie Tozier - The Stranger (plus the Eye)

Stephen King's IT / The Magnus Archives

Richie Tozier is the most aligned with the Stranger (shortly followed by the Eye). Richie fears his true self being monstrous and other, and spends his whole life attempting to hide behind a likeable and humourous persona. He relies on jokes, Voices, half truths and dramatics to avoid emotional vulnerability. He is considered difficult to understand by his friends and family, and his narration in the 1986 novel is characterized by withholding of his true thoughts and feelings from the reader.

See:

“Stitched on the bloody left breast of the Werewolf’s jacket, stained but readable, were the words RICHIE TOZIER”

and

‘Why’d you do that?’ Beverly asked. / ‘I don’t know,’ Richie said, but he knew well enough.

Richie fears being exposed, understood and Seen, above all, giving him a strong connection to the Eye. This is most obvious with the Crawling Eye manifestation, of course, but can be seen throughout the novel. He is highly concerned by how he is viewed by others, and his actions are motivated by this concern.

While his personal fears are marked distinctly by the Eye, in a world with the fears, Richie Tozier would have a high chance of falling for the allure of the Stranger. Terrified of his secrets, feelings and thoughts being exposed to others, Richie would turn to the anonymity and freedom given by the Stranger, where performance, masks, voices and persona are all consuming.

As he says himself:

"It was easier to be brave when you were someone else"

The Vampire Aesthetic

Ok so Danny knows two billionaires personally and they really couldn’t be more different. Yet they had one thing in common. A vampire aesthetic. Sam is fully into goth. Spiderwebs, bats, the color black. She enjoys fangs and fake blood and the darkness of her soul. Meanwhile, Vlad is Vlad. If his name wasn’t enough, the dark clothing, pale skin, and flying around with a cape and fangs with coffins in his mansion really sells it.

Danny doesn’t know many rich people so he thinks this might be some kind of trend. (If Paulina is rich, her family likes the chupacabra) So he just thinks that all rich people have some kind of vampire thing going on.

Cue Danny somehow ending in the Wayne household. Maybe he was brought over as a friend of one of the bats, maybe rescued from a field trip/vacation gone wrong, maybe some other situation. But he is there in civilian form with civilian Waynes and Danny just takes a good long look around the inside of the mansion.

“So where’s the vampire aesthetic?

Everyone freezes.

Danny just starts looking around, checking behind paintings and feeling the walls for secret levers. Used to secret passages with Vlad and possibly Sam. The Fentons definitely had them when they were temporarily rich.

“Come on, I know you guys are hiding it.”

Cue the entire batfamily thinking that this is another Tim and that he is fully aware that these people are the batfamily. Danny hangs around the mansion more and the bats just start dropping their disguises and not even bothering to hide stuff around Danny because they assume he already knows. (Possibly even trying to recruit him to be a new bat) Meanwhile, Danny, who does not know these people are batman and his birds, just does not pick up on any of it.

He grew up in a health violation with a giant ballon observatory lab above his head and a portal to the afterlife in his basement. He is a half dead teenager who has tea with the god of time and his godfather is the other parent to his clone child. He’s used to death lazers being scattered across his home and mysterious stains on clothing.

People are weird! He doesn’t judge!
