a losers club roundtable

[liv45no]

Eddie: my mother can’t come to the wedding. She was at a yoga retreat and she fell out of a warrior pose and she broke her hip.

Richie: should we consider the possibility that someone pushed her?

Eddie: Rich, please! They were a bunch of peace-loving hippies who spent two weeks in the rainforest with my mother!

Eddie: OF COURSE someone pushed her!

[stan-the-bird-boy]

Felt like exposing @trashmouth-richie-tozier today.

This was about a year before Eddie and Richie started dating.

[l-dog1611]

Guys why haven’t i done this before this is so fun

[trashm0utheds]

hopefully someone agrees but i just know Eddie listens to Sabrina Carpenter.

like modern au young adult Eddie has his earphones on, not pods but the earphones themselves, constantly listening to Feather and Espresso. he's singing softly and swaying his hips a bit to the tunes.

Richie telling the other Losers that all he hears in their apartment is Sabrina, but he doesn't really complain about it because he joins Eddie in the singing and dancing session.

never mind how lanky Richie must have look while doing so. at least Eddie is smiling brightly.

[marshbevvie]

This is so real because yeah I get likes on here but in real life we’re all SO FREAKING WEIRD. We are notttt the cool kids okay y’all. Richie’s mom took this picture of us and

I’m sorry but who thinks we’re the cool kids? I look so braindead, Mike is itching his nose, Richie took off his glasses and doesn’t know where the freaking camera is, and Eddie is in the middle of a freakout because he saw a bug on his bread.

(But damn at least the post says we’ll go on to achieve good things..)

I’m so thankful that Tumblr likes us but real people tend to really not. We stick together for a reason and the reason is we’re a bunch of criminally insane weirdos. Honestly? It sucks when people feel the need to call us out or look at us for being different, but I never really feel like a loser when I have my friends. And I love my flannels and my overalls and my key necklaces and my weird dresses and my tuxedos and my hair that seems to change colors and styles easily.

I think what we’ve learned here today is that we’re weird, we’re always gonna be weird, and yeah. But I’d rather be with my friends than someone like Greta Bowie. So LET THE WEIRDNESS REIGN. Am I rambling? Good rambling is neat

STOP MAKING THE LOSERS NORMAL. stop making beverly have a popular, “normal” fashion sense. stop making them fit in. stop. i do not want to hear it THEY ARE CALLED LOSERS FOR A REASON.

this is mostly about the kid losers but the adult losers ALSO ARE NOT NORMAL. NONE OF THEM ARE. In my mind beverlys fashion is so weird, so out of the ordinary and different that shes famous for it being interesting, not pretty or wearable, but something to put on display. (symbolizing ahem ahem)

richie is not a famous comedian that is only slightly different from any other comedian because hes inappropriate, hes WEIRD AND HE DOES WEIRD VOICES AND HE SAYS WEIRD THINGS and people are uncomfortable but theyre uncomfortable in an interested way. they want to see more. this man is so weird I have to see what happens next. and goddamnit how is he so paranormally good at this?

Ben is weird. he doesn’t talk much. people are scared of him since hes tall and strong and doesnt talk much. he is funny but people arent drawn to him. hes handsome in a slightly Different way. he doesnt show his personality a lot because hes uncomfortable with the rich, rude people hes always around. people love and hate him for the communications tower, but everyone can agree it’s unusual and its built in a strong but weird way. bill is famous and popular for his books but when people talk to him they are uncomfortable. he has an air of fear and held back horror. i mean, what else do you expect? he tries not to talk and he masks his personality with a friendly, quiet man, but people still find him off. they admire him but they dont like him. stan is admired but he is found weird, like the rest of his friends. he talks in a weird rhythm and the only person hes himself around is his wife. people dont like his humor and the way he thinks but they are around him because he is a coworker. hes fine with this, he has his wife

mike ❤️ ohhh mikey. my boy. he knows nobody and he knows everybody. no one bothers to talk to him but he knows about them through the people he Does talk to, and people find him weird for that too.

eddie is too scared to talk to people. he doesnt make eye contact and hes a generally jittery man. people understand that and they pity him. they see him as weak and small and Weird. but hes rich and an entrepreneur they suppose.

No matter what the losers do or are they are Losers. (and they always will be)

[planetcleer]

modern day reddie au where they meet in a big city and richie owns a motorcycle and eddie is against it w every fiber of his being bc of how dangerous bikes are but unfortunately richie looks really fucking hot on it :///

[marshbevvie]

Losers plus one 🫂

[liv45no]

Went: well, there’s book-smart and then there’s street-smart.

Maggie: yeah, and then there’s Richie.

Went: oh, he’s just curious, that’s all. He’s got this almost scientific mind with a thirst for knowledge.

Richie: *holds his tongue into a moving hand fan in the distance*

[people-call-me-haystack]

How did you know?

[stan-the-bird-boy]

Does anyone want to help me fix @trashmouth-richie-tozier and @eddiekaspbrak-official relationship or did you guys work shit out.

[lamperts-rokea]

It's headcanon time y'all (except AAAAAAAAA)

Lmapterttatt almost got sold in a garage sale while he was sleeping

He actually hates the fact he hears the Friday Theme EVERYWHERE.

When he was in a kid mindset he sometimes pretended to be a seal (he still does on occasion)

He can match his speed with anyone he's currently touching. He doesn't touch anyone when he's walking unless it's necessary.

He hates being hit on from people he doesn't know. Like reallllyyyy despises it. He might hit you if it's really bad.

He has a high spice tolerance, but a low sourness tolerance. He doesn't eat sour patch kids

If there was a song that would portray him well, it'd be Jealous by Eyedress. That's like the ultimate BPD song tbh

Lamperts least favorite floors would be Poobs apartment, Reddy's underground diner, that one floor collapsing floor, and Splitsville!.

He zones out, but usually only does when he's feeling overwhelmed or close to a breakdown. Kasper zones out a lot more... autistic boyfriends

Kasper would be dyslexic as hell, and Lampert would fix his spelling mistakes.

Kasper HAS meowed before and does so occasionally only when he's alone or just with one other person. He does it as a joke though

Kas CANNOTTT eat spice food or he WILL combust

Lampert is intimidated only by people with power, like Studios, Builderman, etc. Kassi is intimidated by anyone taller than them.

Despite being terrible at romance itself, Lampert wouldn't get very flustered easily, especially since he's not into popculture or anything modern, so he doesn't understand some modern lingo, and doesn't understand sometimes when people are flirting with him.

Kas would like hitting on people, but he would be so fucking bad at it that he'd get embarrassed at himself, laugh it off and change the subject. Walking autism /silly

Lampert is responsible for half the cat posters in Kasper's apartment. They were all gifts sent to him while he was in the late stages of the Virus.

Kasper does not eat his vegetables.

Good riddance

[princess-glassred]

I already have a Reddie Cinderella au but a fuckin Benverly Cinderella au where instead of searching for the girl who fits the slipper, beverly is searching for the boy who wrote the January Embers poem would be sooooo cute.

Poor Bev's just this princess who's being auctioned off by her creepy dad to the highest bidder like she's a hunk of meat. Pretty much every man in her life has given their unfiltered opinion on her and it's made her against marrying anyone (she does want to get married, but the men in the royal court have soured it for her). Her betrothed Tom Rogan is a piece of shit who ""sees her poential"" to be a good queen IF she's got a good man by her side to keep her in check.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the kingdom, is a poor orphaned servant named Ben hanscom. His daddy died serving for the royal gaurd and his mom passed away from an illness a couple years after, leaving him in the care of his step father Mr. Keene, his (slightly) younger step sister Greta and his older step brother Henry. Mr. Keene has Ben slaving away in his apothecary since he's fat and probably wouldn't be useful in snatching up a spouse anytime soon. He's treated like a black sheep, Greta likes getting him into trouble and being a jerk for no reason, while Henry likes to attack him with physical abuse and make jokes about his weight. Ben happens to like cleaning and working for Mr. Keene though, because he's logically minded and good at figuring out how things tecnically work (although its kinda degrading with Henry around to make fun of him all the time). It's worth noting that if Ben wasn't around Henry would probably be in the same situation, considering he's not actually Mr. Keene's son and was just sold to him by his dad for booze money.

Bev and Ben meet when she's pretending to be a maid to sneak away from her father, the only hint that she's even a princess is the palace key she keeps around her neck. She tells Ben her name is "Bevvie" to hide her identity and he buys it. The two become really fast friends after that, routinely visiting each other whenever they can. Ben even introduces her to his one and only friend, Mike the farm boy, and now all of them are kind of buddies. When the ball comes Ben has no interest in meeting princess Beverly (even though he assumes she's a wonderfully nice gal) he just wants to see bevvie again. Mostly because he wrote her a poem and neglected to give it to her before, so he HAS to give it to her at the ball. His step family ruin it though, because Ben's considered an embarassment and they can't have ANYONE interfering with Henry's attemps at marriage and Greta's wannabe socialite career. They rip up the poem right in front of him and it's quite heart breaking.

Just when all is lost though, Ben finds not one, but TWO fairy god parents here to help him. They introduce themselves as Richie Tozier and Eddie Kaspbrak, married couple, business men, and expert fairy god parents. They dress in modern clothes, which Ben finds very confusing, especially since 40 year old man in hawaiin shirt is hardly what comes to mind when you think "fairy god parent" but whatever. They seem well meaning enough, although they can't stop bickering for like 2 seconds to actually help. They bring back the poem to prove they're legit and give him all the cinderella fixings. Eddie is a little paranoid about Ben getting home on time though, so he gives him a midnight curfew so he leaves on time. Also Richie calls Ben haystack cause he sleeps in a barn lol.

The ball comes around and the usual stuff happens, Henry and Greta embarrass themselves, Bev hates everything about it, and Ben makes a grand entrance that shocks everyone. Ben is pretty shocked himself, as he realizes he's been friends with the princess all along and freaks tf out. Beverly instantly runs to him to ask where on earth he got that wonderfully designed suit and he mumbles out some bullshit excuse that doesn't really make sense. They fall in love but just as midnight comes around Ben remembers he forgot to give her the poem again! He leaves it behind by accident on the ground when he's running away, and bev's dad picks it up.

He seems interested in knowing who sent it, and for a moment Beverly honestly tells him she doesn't know because she met a lot of suitors last night. He insists they go searching for the guy, comparing hand writing to the post card from house to house. All while Bev just wants to get it over with so she can see Ben again and tell her how she really feels..

Sorry that was so long, i got really into the idea. I know i never make benverly stuff, so i wanted to try it.

[marshbevvie]

YES PLEASE!

Just between you and me I do think there’s something going on between Stan and Bill.. soooo-

This is a certified Loser Approved Idea.

Just had a thought. Imagine reddie, stenbrough, and benverly (with Mike swaying to the music like the aroace king he is) in the clubhouse doing their own prom and “hey there Delilah” by the plain white T’s is playing (yeah it hasn’t been released yet but that’s besides the point) and they’re all just swaying to the music all happy and in love—and then it shows all the memories the loser have made till the song ends and it slowly fades to black

[dissvicious]

Modern Au Reddie and Zoro would just send each other messages constantly like “This yo man?” *image of Gordon Ramsey* “This yo man?” *image of Pennywise* “This yo man?” * image of wet orange cat* “This yo man?” *Image of Steve from Bigtop Burger* and so on and so forth

YES

also punk AU because I can, ft @calvin-arium design for Zoro

Electromagnetic wave phenomenon impacting Earth’s radiation belts

Two University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists have discovered a new type of “whistler,” an electromagnetic wave that carries a substantial amount of lightning energy to the Earth’s magnetosphere.

The research is published today in Science Advances.

Vikas Sonwalkar, a professor emeritus, and Amani Reddy, an assistant professor, discovered the new type of wave. The wave carries lightning energy, which enters the ionosphere at low latitudes, to the magnetosphere. The energy is reflected upward by the ionosphere’s lower boundary, at about 55 miles altitude, in the opposite hemisphere.

It was previously believed, the authors write, that lightning energy entering the ionosphere at low latitudes remained trapped in the ionosphere and therefore was not reaching the radiation belts. The belts are two layers of charged particles surrounding the planet and held in place by Earth's magnetic field. 

“We as a society are dependent on space technology,” Sonwalkar said. “Modern communication and navigation systems, satellites, and spacecraft with astronauts aboard encounter harmful energetic particles of the radiation belts, which can damage electronics and cause cancer.

“Having a better understanding of radiation belts and the variety of electromagnetic waves, including those originating in terrestrial lightning, that impact them is vital for human operations in space,” he said.

Sonwalkar and Reddy’s discovery is a type of whistler wave they call a “specularly reflected whistler.” Whistlers produce a whistling sound when played through a speaker.

Lightning energy entering the ionosphere at higher latitudes reaches the magnetosphere as a different type of whistler called a magnetospherically reflected whistler, which undergoes one or more reflections within the magnetosphere.

The ionosphere is a layer of Earth's upper atmosphere characterized by a high concentration of ions and free electrons. It is ionized by solar radiation and cosmic rays, making it conductive and crucial for radio communication because it reflects and modifies radio waves.

Earth's magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding the planet and created by Earth's magnetic field. It provides a protective barrier that prevents most of the solar wind's particles from reaching the atmosphere and harming life and technology.

Sonwalkar and Reddy’s research shows that both types of whistlers — specularly reflected whistlers and magnetospherically reflected whistlers — coexist in the magnetosphere.

In their research, the authors used plasma wave data from NASA’s Van Allen Probes, which launched in 2012 and operated until 2019, and lightning data from the World Wide Lightning Detection Network.

They developed a wave propagation model that, when considering specularly reflected whistlers, showed the doubling of lightning energy reaching the magnetosphere.

Review of plasma wave data from the Van Allen Probes showed that specularly reflected whistlers are a common magnetospheric phenomenon. 

A majority of lightning occurs at the low latitudes, which are tropical and subtropical regions prone to thunderstorm development.

“This implies that specularly reflected whistlers probably carry a greater part of lightning energy to the magnetosphere relative to that carried by magnetospherically reflected whistlers,” Sonwalkar said.

The impact of lightning-generated whistler waves on radiation belt physics and their use in remote sensing of magnetospheric plasma have been researched since the 1950s. 

Sonwalkar and Reddy are with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the UAF College of Engineering and Mines. Reddy is also affiliated with the UAF Geophysical Institute.

Sonwalkar and Reddy’s research is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and NASA EPSCoR, the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research.
