Fairy Bike Club, Kansas City, 1983

my silly little headcanon is that for the rest of their lives ben calls eddie ‘doc’ affectionately after eddie fixes him up. imagine the adult losers meeting at jade of the orient and ben saying softly & fondly “hey, doc, long time no see” as he pulls eddie in for a hug. imagine ben running back out of eddie’s room at the townhouse and crouching next to him with his hand on his shoulder and saying “shit, doc, are you okay?” while bev tends to his stab wound

like. bro. that shit’s fucking cute and is actually fact i’ve just decided

Members of the Original Grandma’s Night Out Club made a point of hitting Coney Island’s Steeplechase Park at least twice a year. Here, on August 13, 1954, three of them—Tillie Tilp, left, Ruth Teesel, and Kitty Whitman--got a workout on the high-wheel bicycle.

It's a fucking crime that hanbrough is underrated as a ship. It deserves as much love as reddie.

js rebinged both it movies (I may be re-entering my it brainrot) and I have a question

genuinely why are mike and bill not a more common ship????

did we watch the same movies??? because when I watched chapter two, right before the end of the movie, there was this scene that ended with this:

Mike: "Hey, Bill..." *hesitant pausing* "..I love you, man."

Bill: *soft lil laugh* "I love you, too."

and uhm Bill is the only one we see Mike check on out of the group at the end??? and we saw Mike call everyone at the beginning, but the scene with 'I love you', Mike only called Bill?????

and they're both book nerds???

and Bill is the only one Mike shows the ritual shit to??? and looks at him like this while doing so???

and there's the scene where they pull this gay shit

did I watch a different movie or am I just painfully unaware of the hanbrough fan base

cuz from what I've seen most of the shit in their ao3 tag has them as a background ship

y'all sleeping on them fr

In the spirit of this quaint men-on-motorcycles-enthusiast blog I went to watch The Bikeriders and had my heart quietly broken by a slow but softly luminous movie. Something about men's expansive lives and how movement is ultimately the seed from which all freedom grows. When you see Tom Hardy's Johnny slowly strain and crack under the realization that something he created out of simpler desires is now turning into a hydra headed problem he can't seem to solve, you understand something about existing in a world where your need for belonging is a vulnerability that eventually gets you.

When he asks Austin Butler's Benny about taking over the gang from him he's submitting himself to someone he trusts. Their faces slowly coming together, closer and closer, in the dark with just the incandescent glow of the streetlamps on the edge of their faces, like burning paper. How Benny is too stubborn to understand that its not a favor being asked of him, but a declaration of something deeper from Johnny. What a beautiful narrative choice it was to have a woman recollect this entire story of this rag-tag group of men, who herself was affected by the atmosphere she found herself unable to get out of. I love that it works like a non-judgemental narration of how quickly boyhood bluster breaks down when real life circumstances get rough. How difficult it was for Johnny to keep the community together because he didn't expect it to be anything more than a quaint cosplay when he started it to escape boredom. At the end where Benny finally gets the news of Johnny's murder, something done to usurp his frayed authority, and he returns to Chicago and breaks down on Kathy's stoop, I found myself crying alongside him.

The movie was clearly a labour of love from someone who had deep fascination with the lives of these men and with motorcycles. Wild that a two wheeled liquid fuel powered machine has been the site of so many meditations on masculinity and rebellion and anger and power and authority. I don't know if I want to revisit it but I am glad I got to watch it in the time period of my life that my deep fascination with bikes and men's lives makes it so much more valuable to me.
