#headcanon: eddie Kaspbrak

[witchoflegends]

As much as I love the idea of Eddie being a doctor, he's too afraid of being ill to be a good one. His mind would immediately jump to the worst possibility instead of the most likely. It wouldn't end well.

when I remember in IT chapter two that reddie were gonna leave TOGETHER I go insane like that whole scene where Richie’s like “Eduardo andele let’s go!” And when Eddie’s like “I just have to grab my toiletry bag and then we can go” WE CAN GO ???? WE ? AS IN TWO ? AS IN US TOGETHER ?????

i think if any of the losers had to stop and tie their shoes while they were all walking, everyone would immediately stop with them on the sidewalk to talk while they wait :)

and also instead of leaving people behind when walking in such a big group they just form a half circle naturally so everyone can fit and see each other easily

also heres my carefully thought out image of the Formation that they uphold unconsciously, with explanations as to why. had to shorten the explanations to fit but 🤷🏻

can you tell that im insane about these guys

eddie kaspbrak loves cooking shows. like, he loves them. the food network is his favorite channel, and he watches everything from diners drives ins & dives to good eats to the pioneer woman, not to mention all the different cooking & baking competitions (gbbo is, ofc, his favorite) that crop up every year. eddie kaspbrak loves cooking shows, but eddie kaspbrak doesn’t know how to cook. it’s hilarious! it’s hysterical, even! because sure, for that brief period in college between sonia & myra, he learned some basics, like toast and grilled cheese and scrambled eggs, but for all he watches he’s pretty clueless in the kitchen. ask him to roast potatoes or make a soup from scratch and watch him flounder. he’s never had to do anything like that himself before, you know. he’s never been allowed to.

and it sucks, it does, because food is a form of love. and he knows that because, while he doesn’t have many memories of his dad, almost all of the ones he does have revolve around food. frank kaspbrak loved cooking. he loved best cooking polish recipes from his youth, stuffed cabbage and haluski (eddie’s favorite) and pierogis and chalka bread (eddie’s second favorite) and borscht, and eddie loved to watch. frank would hold eddie on his hip and let him see it all, even let him help sometimes, and when eddie got a little too big to be held, frank would drag a chair in from the dining room to the stove and hoist him onto it so he could stand and watch every step. while he chopped vegetables or showed eddie how to bread pork or worked on dough, frank would tell stories about his childhood, and how he learned to cook from his mother and his grandmother, and how he would cook with eddie until the recipes were all stuck in his head like they were stuck in how own, because they had never been written down before, and it made eddie feel close to him, made him giggle to think about his big strong dad being small and standing on a chair and watching just like him.

frank kaspbrak loved cooking, and then he got sick. very sick. the last memory eddie has of his dad is curling up with him in his hospital bed and listening to him whisper-rasp promises, with what was left of his ravaged lungs, of fresh chalka and pączki and haluski and potato pancakes once he got better. the trouble was that he never did.

lots of things changed after he was gone. eddie learned quickly that his dad hadn’t lied—none of his family’s recipes had ever been written down. he also learned that hospital food was not love, and neither was takeout, but that even though it was different, his mother’s cooking was, and even more so, over time she taught him that not letting him too close to the hot stove or sharp knives was love, too. cooking for him and not with him was love, keeping track of his allergies was love, teaching him to fear food that wasn’t good for him was love, because taking care of him was love.

myra seemed to know those things inherently, and when he married her, she showed him that she loved him in the same ways. she looked after him, she cooked for him, she made sure he stayed away from too much sodium and sugar and butter, she protected him from everything including himself.

and all the while, eddie kaspbrak loved cooking shows. well, he loves cooking shows. in the hospital, after pennywise, he watches a lot, and he learns, but not how to baste a turkey or throw together a corn salad. no, he learns that actually, takeout can be love when your friends sneak it into your hospital room to cheer you up, and yeah, okay, maybe hospital food can be love, too, when you have someone who will make you laugh about it or split your jell-o with.

he divorces myra once he’s out. his friends support him, and richie is quick to offer his home for eddie to stay while he gets back on his feet. eddie is just as quick to accept. they’ve always been best friends, haven’t they? he moves in more than he crashes. it sort of feels like they’re kids again. and, you know, richie tozier loves cooking. for the first time in thirty five years, eddie feels compelled to watch, and so most nights he perches on the other side of the island while richie pretends to be on a cooking show, just for him. it’s a fucking riot! but it’s something else, too. it’s special, because they laugh, and they talk about anything and everything and nothing, and they share their meals together every night, and it makes eddie feel close to him.

eventually, richie starts to involve eddie, calling him his lovely assistant, or his little sous chef. he walks eddie through the best way to cut up potatoes, or how to do a dry rub, or how to make an egg wash. eventually, he has eddie start sautéing the onions, or dredge and bread the pork chops, or throw together a fucking roux all on his own, without having to be shown. eventually, he starts to ask what eddie wants him to do, just as much as the reverse, and renames their imaginary cooking show after them both.

one year to the day after eddie moves in, richie shows him recipes he found online for chalka bread and some cabbage and noodle dish, i think it’s called haluski or something? whatcha think, chef k? eddie knows that richie knows exactly what haluski is. richie’s already gone and bought all the ingredients for both, and so they make them for dinner that night. richie lets eddie take the lead, and later he reaches across the table to hold his hand when eddie starts crying after the first bite. it tastes just like his father’s recipe, you know. it tastes like love and comfort and home. they wash up together after dinner, eddie scrubbing and richie drying as he yaps on in one of his voices, and eddie has to stop right in the middle of it to grab richie’s face with his soapy hands and kiss him. the rest of the dishes are left forgotten until the morning.

so yeah, eddie kaspbrak loves cooking shows, and he loves cooking, and holy shit, he loves richie tozier, too.

Basically, since they aren't in the scene they were somewhere else, clearly. My ask is what do you think they were up to? :)

OHHHH, a headcanon post! I kinda figured, my bad lol! I really gotta make a format for people to send in for these lol!

- Me personally on the fourth of july I think the gangs parents get together for a cookout or somethin since in my previous headcanon I’ve made the gang into childhood friends!

- I think they’d all go to Henry’s house because come hell or high water there’s no god damn way Butch is letting someone else grill those shitty hotdogs and burgers

- We have Patrick chasing henry around the yard with either those pop thingies that snap when they hit the ground or firecrackers

- Belch absolutely demolishing 7 hotdogs and Victor holding his and Belch’s sparklers in his hands

- also Henry’s punk ass cousin Connor is there, god i fucking hate connor..He’s also a victim of the fire crackers and pop thingies except he’s slower than henry so he actually got hit lmfao

- Butch is definitely getting drunk off his ass as per usual when he’s off grill duty, Patrick and Vic’s dad probably join him to yell at some type of ball sport and the wives get to gossip about whatever’s going on in Derry currently!

This set of headcanons was pretty fun to imagine ngl lol! I’ll have that format for headcanons asks soon! For now, with headcanons just specify it’s a headcanon ask lol

a hc for Eddie that he has band aids ready on his pockets wherever he goes.

also, he has specific colors for each of the Losers that match their personalities.

Mike: Yellow; optimistic, adventurous, infectious energy

Ben: Orange; resourceful, kind, open-minded

Stan: Pink; soft, reserved, sensitive

Bill: Blue; wise, sympathetic, reliable

Bev: Purple; bold, glamorous, creative

Richie: Red; passionate, confident, outgoing, love

the rest of the Losers allow Eddie to place the band aids on them because they know they're on good hands when they get wounds or scrapes.

[witchoflegends]

The fact that even after Eddie finds out the truth about his meds and is yelling at his mom, he still apologizes. He says, 'I'm sorry, bit the only people that were actually trying to protect me were my friends.' Even when he's upset and standing up for himself, he's still being a good kid. I also fully believe it's a habit at this point for him. Apologizing to his mom even if he doesn't believe it wholeheartedly.

[eddiekaspbrakirlsblog]

I feel like after richie made the carving on the bridge he would always be trying to hurry the losers along when they inevitably walked over the bridge 💀💀💀 like he did it but didn’t think of the consequence that he now has to make sure none of his friends see it, for about two months richie lived in constant fear that one of the losers would see it and THEY WOULD KNOW.

[thelosers-club]

i had an idea

based off of the image below the cut

[mykidneysbuddy]

roller skating IT headcanons

Richie CAN skate, surprisingly.. but he pretends not to know how just to be a goofy little boy <3

Eddie is somewhat okay at it, he's definitely not as good as richie when richies actually trying

whenever eddie falls, omg richie suddenly knows how to skate?!?!? and he's over there straight away helping eddie up?!?!?!?!

bev is AMAZING at it, better than richie, she can do all the moves and tricks and stuff, but usually hangs back with ben to help him

bill.. bill is not good.. he holds onto the wall the entire time, just moving along very slowly till he finally decides hes had enough and plays cards with stan till they can leave

stan knows how to, he's pretty decent at it, he just doesnt enjoy it (people everywhere, people bumping into you possibility, ESPECIALLY RICHIE, children crying whenever they fall over, etc.)

mike is the same as stan i'd say in the skill department

ben's not very good, probably around the same skill level as bill, except he actually tries, he doesn't just hang onto the wall -- he gets help from bev

[marcomilkie]

love how we all collectively decided that stan was the first person richie ever came out to

[reddiesworldsblog]

richie: do you or do you not feel bonita?

eddie, wearing one of richie’s atrocious hawaiian shirts and llama slippers: i feel bonita

richie: wonderful because you LOOK bonita‼️

[theartsharki]

Headcanon: Richie’s house was a mess when Eddie moved in. Eddie spent his entire day cleaning every inch of the place

I agree with this headcanon! First reaction Eddie has when moving in for sure is a shock at first. Definitely would get started cleaning right away before he can start unpacking because come on, it’s his instinct.

[freak4it]

headcanon is that eddie would ALWAYS be wearing socks. you would NEVER catch that man being bare foot. it makes him feel obnoxious without them on. therefore richie would ALWAYS make sure to buy a huge pack of socks for his eddie every christmas ever since they’ve met. thereupon eddie’s love for richie continues to grow even stronger as the years go by.
