#okay yeah this is so entirely late but LKNGLKNRGLKNRG

[mikeshanlon]

thank u for the quick summary of dc so i guess now id like to know more about the au because??? honestly ure talented and if u would write it id so read it and support it (no pressure tho!). dont let ur worms tell u NO, from what uve gathered i can tell itd be very good

okay i’m so sorry this sat in my inbox so long after the original post. i was waiting to answer it and then i got hella busy. anyways, thank you for your super kind words!!!! I’m definitely interested in doing something with this au bc it would so fun, but like. very far down the line bc i have other wips that take priority lmao. anyways super quick breakdown of some stuff myself, @stenbranlons, and @ssdenbrough, aka my lovely pals who also love IT and deadly class thought up! (mostly posting so i also dont forget this stuff LKRGNNRG)

okay first of all not every role or plot would be like..... exactly the same obviously, just getting that out of the way

so as aformentioned, richie most definitely plays the marcus role, bc absolute chaotic dumbass bisexual stoner who loves the smiths, wants to kill reagan, and is impulsive and starts lots of fights? richie to a T....

like this entire post is So Richie core to me .... So many? Oh bummer I just had my asshole freshly douched..... [The Smiths are gay] Oh do you mean brave and honest???

also like being so desperate for friends and considering them his family yeah yeah yup.......

MARCUS BEING DISGUSTINGLY STINKY AT FIRST YEAH THATS RICHIE LERKNGNREG

eddie is saya, one bc Badass!eddie who rides a motorcycle is iconic to me but also bc saya is super loyal to her family even though they are p awful to her (like literally try to kill her) but she believes she deserves it..... eddie kin....... also saya is extremely loyal to her friends and will do what she can to protect them (for instance her saving maria even though she attacked her, etc) which is v eddie kin. 

also i just go insane thinking of like ~enemies~ to trusted allies to lovers reddie....... eddie bregrudingly having to watch over richie and get him out of stupid situations or else he’ll get in trouble, but ending up caring about him..... 

some kin scenes include: richie being in love with eddie immediately, The Bathroom Scene (and then eddie denying there was a moment erlgkng), dumbass 1, dumbass 2, Pinkies, i can’t fucking find a gifset but the scene where marcus is like ‘it’s so obvious you want to hump on the washing machine all day and be with me forever’ and saya’s like ‘yeah no i’m here bc you got me in trouble’, also richie being like everything works out! and eddie’s like weren’t you homeless....., etc,

beverly as maria and her killing tom, her abusive bf, in vegas and also her father that is so very sexy !!!

also like . i think richie/bev would have sort of a thing after vegas but then they realize they are being really unhealthy and break it off, aka what maria and marcus should’ve done.... and she gets help

also means that eddie and beverly are best friends!!!!

(also the entire vegas ep. richie taking seven tabs of acid and eddie just holding his hand the whole time. yeah. eddie seeing richie cuddled up to beverly in the car and getting jealous yeah. richie murdering bill’s abusive dad for him yeah.)

also yeah bill is billy, tbh if u look at his playlist he has the most like Punk playlist out of all of them, also they are equally useless at flirting and shit erlgknerg. also just thinking about the scene where billy breaks down to marcus in 1.04...... lemme just say sidenote jaeden martell would’ve acted the shit out of that as well so i can see It Happening.... the small voice of richie being like what can we do..... god......

GOTH STAN. YES IT IS RIDICULOUS YES I AM A PREP!STAN WARRIOR BUT THAT IS WHY STAN BEING A GOTH AND THE PETRA OF THE AU IS THE FUNNIEST AND MOST ICONIC THING TO ME ELRKGNELRNGNERG. also richie infiltrating the dance after stan gets humiliated..... and making that billy/petra scene gay by it being bill and stan yes i love to see it! (also the part where richie is the only one to make stan laugh a la the scene on the roof in the pilot yes.....)

mike as willie just so AHHHH IT MAKES ME GO CRAZY the pacifist in a dark world of it all (and feeling like he doesn’t belong, that he’s an outsider), the feeling guilty over parent’s death of it all.... the richie and mike friendship of it all (the part where marcus kills someone for willie and the parallels of richie in canon killing henry for mike yeah.....)..... ALSO MIKE HELPING BEVERLY TRY TO RUN AWAY!!!!! YES!!! 

(also the billy/petra/lex threesome but it’s stenbranlon mind of a mastermind)

we were having a hard time figuring out ben bc like..... him being in an assassin school just doesn’t fit LKNGKLRNG but we figured out he would essentially play the role of gabi, but for beverly, aka someone on the Outside who encourages her to leave king’s dominion and like. have a better life. (also beverly just having no clue that ben is flirting with her in the comic shop LKRNGLKNRGN)

other roles would be greta as brandy (richie throwing his drink in greta’s face and calling her a bigoted piece of shit yeah....), henry bowers is obviously chester/fuckface, tom as chico, pennywise as the scorpio slasher (yes, richie, bill, and eddie walk around a muderous clown on a leash around the streets of san francisco, getting him its-its, etc.) idk who the fuck master lin would be tbh but erlgnreg
