Hello ;) I wanted to know if you can do Yandere! Bowers gang with a reader preferring the company of the Losers' Club?

The reader may have "made friends" with the Bowers gang and discovered how bad they are. Then he may have moved to the losers' club room and made friends with them. So he began to avoid the Bowers Gang and prioritize the Losers' Club. ;)

₊˚ ‿︵‿୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿ ˚₊

Literally was so SO excited when i got this request!! Part one

Ft: Henry Bowers, Patrick Hockstetter, Victor Criss, Belch Huggins, Bill Denbrough, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak.

Tw: possessive behavior, Patrick being Patrick, violence, threats, bullying, gaslighting, harassment.

Henry:

・you best believe this man is FUMING😭

・even after you said you would stop being a brat you just go off and hang around some losers!

・although he is super mad, hes also slightly hurt you would rather hang out with them then him.

・now this is not in a “pity me” way it’s because he thinks hes better then everyone and it just hurts his ego that you would rather hang out with someone else. (I dont blame you)

・every chance he gets to jab at you and the losers club he takes, hes definitely meaner to you now that your hangin’ around them.

・but you stand your ground, surprisingly, you felt more confident then you did before.

・but how long would that confidence stay?

・Henry waits for you to try and seek them out, but, you never do and seeing you so happy with the losers club makes him extremely upset.

・hes starting to get tired of this bullshit so whenever he sees you with Bill he snaps.

・Henry grabs your arm roughly the grip so tight it would definitely leave a bruise Bill trys to stop him but he yells at him telling him to stay out of it, Henry gives you two options ether you talk with him or Billy boy gets it.

・obviously you dont want to see your friend get hurt so you go with Henry. (Right choice)

・when you two get alone hes yelling at you practically blinded by rage it honestly scares you.

・”What the fuck!? I thought you were done with your fucking tantrum! I cant BELIEVE you went off with those losers!”

・”There not losers! There my friends-“ slap.

・he shoves you to the ground and kneels down close to you, he grabs the collar of your shirt.

・”I dont wanna hear it. Your coming back to the gang, do I make myself clear?”

・his tone shows no room for discussion so you nod.

・”Like I said, your never getting away.”

・Sorry Y/N, bowers wins again.

Patrick:

・now he is also mad but not as mad as Henry, Patricks mostly just amused that you think you can just ignore him.

・Patrick knows that Henry is not a patient man so he figured that Henry would do something about it soon or you would come back later.

・that is until this starts to go on for months and he himself is starting to get more mad seeing you with the losers club.

・a possessive and jealous feeling growing, it started driving him crazy!

・anytime he passed by you out of school he would give you a glare that clearly said “your in trouble”.

・you have a defiant glare back even though you were scared, it amused and pissed him off greatly.

・you may be able to stand up to Henry, but, Patrick? You know you dont stand a chance.

・even Henry can be disgusted by Patricks actions, Patrick is the most cruel one out of the four delinquents.

・when Henry started talking about getting you back Patrick was the first one to agree, he didn’t care anymore he didn’t even care if you got hurt in the process, fucking hell you deserved it!

・he knew one thing for sure, when you came back, he wasn’t going to let you anger him like this again. Make him care this much about one puny kid. He would make sure knew your place.

・when he heard you were back he was overjoyed, dont take this in a soft way or a cute way it’s quite the opposite hes just glad he can get back at you.

・when hes able to get alone with you he’ll rough you up a bit, asking you if you thought that avoiding them (him) would keep you safe.

・”Did you think that this would last long? Huh stupid? Well looks like the big bad bowers gang got you, stupid.” He always called you stupid, he got a laugh every time you would look like a kicked puppy, you even started to believe that you were stupid.

・he started gaslighting you into thinking that the losers club didn’t care for you, they never did. Why would they? Why would they care for a stupid, weird, kid like you?

・you couldn’t answer that, you were to tired to anyway.

・he felt satisfied with his work so he left you alone to spiral, think about everything he said, to ponder if its true or not.

・his words got into your head, maybe they didn’t care… I mean, you were stupid. Who liked hanging around someone as stupid as you? I mean, except for the bowers gang.

・so now anytime they would try and come up to you you would give them the cold shoulder truly believing they didn’t care, Richie Tozier truly tried saving you from the bowers gangs grasp but he couldn’t. (Maybe just not yet¿)

・Patrick would be seen in the background with a cheshire cat smile, pleased with his work on your stupid little head. You believed him.

Victor:

・poor boy is UPSET😭

・why would you rather hang out with some losers over them? Over him? Why are you avoiding him? Huh? HUH?

・he knows your probably upset about what happened last time, but, why would you hang out with them over him and the gang?

・he just doesn’t understand why. (Which is frustrating on your end)

・Victor is the one who will try seeking you out himself, which always leads into arguments.

・gosh sometimes he just wants to slap the shit out of you you piss him off sometimes!

・but hey, sometimes friends rough house so its fine. (Its not he just wants to justify himself)

・when hes hanging out with his younger siblings all he can think about is you, he misses you but your such a selfish brat your to focused on yourself to even care! No, no, he doesn’t mean that. (Maybe he does)

・Victor wants an apology from you, he thought all of this was over! Why would he even need to apologize?

・hes caught up in this delusion that he didn’t do anything wrong and that your the one in the wrong, but your to young and immature to understand that.

・Victors trying everything to get you back though, he even spreads rumors about the losers club to try and scare you away from them but it did not work you just believed they were rumors..

・when he hears that Henrys going to get you back hes on deck for whatever as long as its not to destructive towards you.

・look, Victor really does care about you honest! Hes just a little… weird about it?

・yeah lets go with that ;)

・anywho, when your back hes all over you telling you off but also saying he missed you.

・he may or may not have known about Patricks little plan to get you back in line but he didn’t stop it.

・whoops, well, whatever he did it worked.

・and all that matters is your with them! (Him)

Belch:

・very disappointed in you.

・literally like a mother😭

・im jk guys but literally mama Belch..

・im jk im JK I dont like people who ignore Belch and Victors darker sides.

・but Belch is disappointed and upset, always looking at you with an almost betrayed expression and angry.

・Belch doesn’t get as physical with kids as Henry but he does push them around so he one time shoved Eddie into you and walked off cus’ he was feeling petty..

・lowkey was kinda funny to Richie.

・ANYWAY.

・(I do NAWT have any ideas..)

・(im winging it)

・he does miss you, he misses the peace you brought him, the happiness you brought him… and the annoyance with your annoying self but then those idiots took you away!

・your just doing this to get back at them, you wont be gone for long, right?

・he hopes.

・(im so sorry Belch lovers😭)

・when he hears your finally coming back hes relieved, he just hopes no harm comes to you in the process.

・but in the back of his mind he believes you need some type of punishment wether it be cruel or not just to put you back in line…

・but it seems the day after your back, your out of that rebellion phase! (Thanks to Patrick)

Use this as an excuse to dump a bunch of Hatchetfield headcanons, go wild.

Wow ok here we go:

-Ted Spankoffski is a pineapple pizza enjoyer.

-While we’re on the topic of Ted, Tinky definitely keeps clumps of his hair in a bag somewhere.

-Like Richie, Steph used to have dyed hair at some point.

-Becky Barnes is very much an animal person. She definitely got multiple pets once Stanley was gone.

-I didn’t create this headcanon, but I just adore it: Duke named his cat after Miss Holloway.

-Paul likes ice Carmel frappes. He just orders black coffee because it’s easy for Emma.

-Alice Woodward listens to Chappell Roan religiously.

-Webby’s favorite brother was Wiggly. They used to be really close.

-Miss Holloway definitely had the gift even before she made the deal. She saw Webby and stuff.

-Ruth is a Hamilton fanatic.

-Despite the fact that he didn’t make it, Pokey loves the phantom of the opera. He tries to make Paul be Cristine. He hates it, obviously.

-Xander Lee is John’s husband.

-Max and Stephanie were childhood friends.

-Lex and Ethan are bi4bi

-The nerds cosplay together. Ted takes them to conventions and teases them about it, but he secretly loves going.

-Richie’s favorite food is the Miku ramen.

-Hannah Foster likes the Percy Jackson books.

-Also, Hannah didn’t speak until she was like 10 or 11.

-Charles Coven had involvement with Peip. He knew John and Wilbur.

-Nibbly is either the best cook ever or burns everything he touches. No in between.

-Shelia Young and Linda Monroe are both heavy red wine drinkers. Also, Shelia knows the Murrays through the church so she definitely knows Linda.

-I’m not really sure about this one, but I think it would be cool if Miss Holloway was related to the Waylon family.

-Max is secretly a musical theatre enjoyer.

-Kyle isn’t in the best of you scene because Grace killed him before Jason.

-Grace learned how to bury bodies from watching the Jerries. Or perhaps she learned from her mother.

-Blinky is an avid smut reader.

-Hannah made Ethan a bracelet. It’s his prized possession.

-Grace used to have a crush on Alice.

-Wilbur Cross has green eyes, like bright green. Idk that he doesn’t. I think he should.

-Charlotte makes her own sweaters. She gave the CCRP gang ones for their birthdays. Bill and Melissa love theirs. Paul hates his. Ted pretends to dislike his, but he’s glad that she made him one.

-Melissa and Woman are gay and in love.

-The reason that Webby taught Hannah how to play the ukulele was because her brother Pokey taught her how to play instruments.

-Linda’s mom was definitely a honey queen.

-Pete is really interested in space. I think it suits him, but also know he can be the space bastard to Ted’s time bastard.

-Forever and Always!Paulkins adopt a dog and multiple kids.

-Nibbly’s human forms are inspired by past honey queens.

-Zoey and Zach used to be very close as kids.

-Steph is very good at makeup. She practices her skills on Pete.

-Some movies Miss Holloway likes are labyrinth and the princess bride. She will not watch a movie made past the 90s. Brenda calls her old.

-Paul doesn’t hate Moana. He is the only one who knows all the lyrics.

[princess-glassred]

I was listening to Mean Girls the musical last night and I got the idea for a whole semi-cannon compliant Mean Girls IT AU so here's like every single idea had for the au last night

-Alright so obviously the Bowers gang are the titular plastics, but I have decided Richie is our Cady Heron cause I think he is the loser who could have most feasibly ended up in the bowers gang had things gone bad enough for him.

-He's lived in Los Angeles his entire life and was homeschooled growing up too, so going to a shitty small town high school obviously is something he's unfamiliar with. Much like Cady his background has informed his view on social cliques and talking to people, although unlike Cady's who's back ground makes her think of things in an athropological way, Richie's childhood of playing video games, watching movies, and growing up around showbiz types makes him see everything through the lens of the media he consumes. To him, the Bowers gang are not animals, but the big bosses at the end of a video game or every stock villain character he's ever seen in a bad family movie.

-Similarly, Eddie is our Janis (but we're going for semi cannon compliant here, so he is sadly not goth 😔)

-Eddie hates Henry a lot for essentially ruining his life when they were in middle school, they were never friends but they used to ignore each other. Until Henry noticed how close Eddie was with Bill and thought it was important for everyone to know that he was a total fag before they went on a class field trip to a waterpark. There were going to be BOYS in their BATHING SUITS. Everyone had the right to know if Eddie was going to creep on them. His mom ended up forcing him to stay home anyways (which only made the rumor worse), and after Eddie started getting bullied for it Sonia pulled him out of school until high school. When he came back he had his stupid inhaler and all his allergies and he was even weirder than before so obviously he was a total freak to everyone now. Eddie has had a bone to pick with Henry ever since.

-Every other member of the losers club kind of alternates the damian role and have various damien esque traits, Bill gives Eddie rides, Stan's pretty sassy, Bev is concerned with the event planning committee, Ben is made fun of by Henry's gang a lot, and Mike offers like the only sensible advise anyone gets in this entire  au.

-Richie is quickly scouted out by the Bowers gang just like Regina scouts Cady, but unlike Cady who is scouted for her beauty, the bowers gang sees Richie's potential as a bully. They're not too concerned with image (i mean look at how they dress) but they see him calling people weird nicknames, intentionally pissing people off, getting under Eddie Kaspbrak's skin and they want him in. They even take a liking to his shitty impressions, in the same way they laugh at Belch's weird habit of belching on people. They just think he seems funny so they wanna invite him to have lunch with them every day for the rest of the week.

-The plastic equivalents are Henry as Regina, Belch as Karen, and Vic as Gretchen. Patricks not really part of the clique but he is here, we will get to him in a bit.

-Belch: So if you're from hollywood, why are you ugly? Vic: omg, Belch you can't just ask people why they're ugly Belch: Well shouldn't he have had like a plastic surgeon out the womb or something???

-The "on wednesdays we wear pink" line stays the same due to Henry's pink leather jacke he wears in the book. Vic's got pink camo pants and Belch has a pink def leopard shirt.

-Richie is very resistant to sitting with the Bowers gang, he can tell they're bad news and awful people but Eddie eggs him on about it. He says he's just a little curious to know what they do all the time, but secretly he's hoping for some kind of big thing to happen that blows the group apart.

-Bev gets judged for hanging out in the boys bathroom like how Damian gets judged for hanging out in the girls bathroom

-Richie: Does anyone have anything in pink I can borrow? Bev: eugh, no. Eddie: I do.

-Richie gets a big gay crush on Connor Bowers, although he doesn't realize he's Henry's cousin until Vic asks if there's anyone at school he likes. Richie very calmly admits he likes a guy since he grew up in a big city full of gays but Vic hushes him about it since they're "friends" and doesn't want him to embarass himself. The fact the guy is Henry's cousin only makes Vic more insistant he keep it quiet, not just because it's taboo to be gay in places like Derry, but because "family members are off limits to friends".

-Connor doesn't seem interested in Richie at all, unless it's platonic Connor isn't interested. Part of it is his own choice, but another part of it is that he genuinely respects and values Henry's opinion. Sure, Henry isn't a saint or anything, but he's his big cousin and if he doesn't want him dating anyone for his own good than he'll listen.

-Still though, Richie will do just about anything for Connor's attention. Despite being a straight A student and generally very good at video games, he flubs both of these things on purpose in hopes Connor will try to teach him. Connor's hardly good at math, and he's definitely worse at street fighter than Richie, but it's worth it to act like he isn't. What's a few bad grades if it means he gets to spend a few minutes staring into Connors eyes or feel his hand wrap against the joystick at the same time as his?

-At Henry's house his dad offers them alcoholic drinks despite still being minors, and his justification is he'd rather kids drink in his house than at other peoples. Henry is kind of embarrassed by this and just tells his dad to go do something "parenty" and leave them alone for a minute.

-The burn book in this is a leather book that's much more understated looking thsn the actual mean girls burn book. Inside of it are most of the kids at school and some of the losers. Eddie is in there with the words "Sissy queer" scribbled all over the page. Henry notes that they haven't thought of anything good for Bill yet and Richie blurts out a quip Eddie made about Bill sounding like Elmer Fudd when he stutters. Richie instantly feels ashamed about repeating it and wonders if that was just one of those things Eddie was allowed to say but no one else, but it's too late and Henry wants him to write it down anyways.

-For halloween all the bowers gang members go as slasher villains and then Richie just goes as a ventriloquest dummy as a joke. All of the BG are confused as to why he's dressed so ridiculous and poor clueless Richie is just like "???? It's halloween???"

-At the party, Henry tells Connor that Richie has a huge crush on him and while Connor thinks it's "kind of cute" Henry immediately tells him off and tells him to shut it down NOW. This sends Richie into a jealous RAGE that gets him ready to commit to the Henry Bowers revenge scheme the rest of the losers are forming.

-Richie's mom has these kalteen bars that she's been using to gain back some weight after losing so much it's unhealthy, so Richie and the rest of the losers use this to mess with Henry. He tells him that he's "sooo scrawny, and weak, all i'm eating are these foreign protein bars that build muscle" and Henry demands he brings him a whole box.

-Also as part of their revenge they dye his hair white, just like book/90's Henry. Vic tries to make him feel better about the weight gain and the white hair by telling him it doesn't look all that bad, but henry just yells "Are you fucking kidding me Vic?! I look like i'm 65!".

-They also find out from making Vic completely crack and spill all of Henry's secrets that Henry cheats on his girlfriend Greta all the time with his friend Patrick Hockstetter. They hook up in the mascot costume in the gym storage closet on top of the sawdust bags, it's really weird. This is an especially rich development considering what he said about Eddie all those years ago proved to just be projection, same for his insistence connor stay single.

-Richie and the losers proceed to use this to their advantage in the most fucked up way possible, by essentially outing Henry to his cousin so Connor will feel betrayed and less likely to listen to him. After all, if Connor feels disillusioned with Henry once he finds out he's not only a big ol cheater but also just projecting, he might consider rebelling and going after Richie.

-Richie is definitely turning into Henry's mini me the longer time goes on, at first it was just talking about Henry all the time, even when Eddie wanted him to shut the fuck up, but things just continued to get worse and worse. Soon he started making fun of Henry behind his back for being fat, being an idiot, being poor, ect. Obviously Henry's said worse things, but Richie says all this mean shit about him while still pretending to he his friend, and he doesn't seem to care if making fun of Henry's weight or financial status hurts Ben or Bev in anyway.

-He can also feel himself becoming more image obsessed, the Bowers gang aren't too concerned with clothes or looks (aside from their lunchtable rules and just general beauty standard stuff) but Richie feels like he has to get more attractive just to make Henry feel worse about his hair and weight. He has to lose his glasses, and comb his hair, and wear cool punk clothes. Who cares if he looks totally unlike himself, Henry's insecure and everybody LOVES Richie, that's all that really matters.

The other losers seem to recognize his ever growing vanity, but Richie makes a lot for excuses for it. He pretends like it's just part of the bit but that completely ignores the fact he is actually kind of liking being hot and the center of attention.

-The sweatpants scene is really sad. Henry is stuffing his face, partly because he's hungry from a diet of nothing but candy bars but also because he's emotionally eating to cope with being outed and all his other problems. Vic and Belch coldly inform him that he's wearing sweatpants on a monday and he needs to go sit somewhere else. Henry all but begs for his friends to let it slide, but when Belch and Vic ask what the big deal is Henry has to shamefully admit he's too fat for any of his jeans anymore. They still don't give a shit though, and what's worse is Richie sits there and says nothing while Henry's life falls apart.

-Right after this Richie becomes aware od his state as the new leader of the Bowers gang when Vic and Belch start asking him advise on who they should pick on next

-The party scene is a total nightmare as to be expected. Maggie and Wentworth are going to be PISSED when they find out their son threw a rager. Part of this is Vic's fault for inviting everyone they knew though.

-Richie gets blasted drunk, vomits all over Connors shoes, chases him outside, then falls to the ground, when he gets back up Eddie and Bill are there and Eddie is furious.

-Bill is in the background riding Silver around in circles pretty aimlessly, every once in a while he'll tell Eddie that he needs to be home in like two minutes and if he doesn't give Eddie a ride home Sonia will probably murder him.

-Eds and Rich have a really disasterous fight.

-"oh my god Eddie, you know i couldn't invite you. I had to still pretend like I was part of the gang." "Buddy it's not pretend! You are part of the gang! You think you're so cool and powerful when really you're just an idiot who talks too much!" "You're the one who made me like this so you could use me for your middle school revenge fantasy!" "Oh my god- you know at least me and Henry Bowers KNOW we're mean. You try to act so fucking innocent like "Oohhh i'm just a widdle nerd, look at my buck teeth and silly voices. Watch me use my sense of humor to never take accountability for the stupid shit I say!"" "You know what Eddie? I'm not your fucking boyfriend, it's not my fault you're in love with me!".

-That was enough to make Bill stop moving his bike right in the middle of the street and just stare at Richie like :0

-Eddie is utterly incesned by this. He is enraged. The betrayal. The audacity. The drama.

-"God, that is just the thing with all of you Bowers goons, you think everyone is in love with you when actually everyone hates you. Like Connor Bowers for example, you drove a wedge between him and his cousin and guess what? HE STILL DOESN'T WANT YOU RICHIE. So why are you still messing with Henry, Richie? I'll tell you why, because you're an asshole! You're a fucking bully!"

-This is a rather pivotal moment for Richie, as it's clear Eddie (and all the other losers mind you) are deeply hurt by how far he's taken this, and it makes him seriously reconsider it all.

-Greta finally informs Henry that those Kalteen bars make you gain weight, but she does it in probably the worst way possible

-"Why are you eating a kalteen bar?" "Because i'm hungry Greta, what the fuck do you think?" "Man I hate those things, my mom's making me eat those to go up a cupsize." "... what?" "My dad sells them at the pharmacy, they're usually for underweight people who wanna gain a lot of weight quickly. My mom thinks it'll make me curvier." "..." "Are you okay, Henry?" "..."

-cue girly over the top scream

-Henry goes home and proceeds to write himself into the burn book with the words "Faggy cow" scribbled around a cut out picture of him with Richie.

-He makes copies of the pages and spreads them all around. Then heads right to the principles office and starts fake sobbing about being called the f slur.

-Ofc everyone goes nuts, Eddie's mad he's being called gay again, Bill's mad the burn book makes fun of his stutter, and everyone is 100% certain this is Richie, Belch, and Vic's fault.

-the whole assembly goes about the same as a movie, Henry says they don't have a clique problem, Vic says he's sorry everyone's so jealous of him for being smarter than everyone else, Henry says something homophobic about Eddie so he admits to all the horrible things he and Richie did to him. And you know... Henry gets hit by a bus. As per usual.

-The whole third act of the movie basically the same with just a few things changed, Richie and Eddie BOTH apologize for what they've said, Connor and Richie decide there's too much toxcicity there for them to date but they decide to be friends anyways, and Henry gets some therapy. Hooraaaaaay.

I now must leave you all with this image which I think is just perfect for this au given the emphasis on lunch tables:

[horror130]

hellooooooo, first of all i wanted to say that i really like your work(also i am new here so i hope i am.doing this correctly). i wanted to request a yandere losers club where they kidnap the reader and like she escapes. maybe she vould even get hurt before theyfind her but only if you want to

thank xou so much, youre super duper awesomeeeee

RUN,RABBIT,RUN,RABBIT

(Thank you dear, I really appreciate it💘)

Pairing:Romantic

Warning: Abusive relationship, kidnapping, captivity.

🎈 In my humble opinion, I don't think it would be an impossible mission to escape from the losers club, difficult? Yes, but not much, I would say you would have a 60% chance of escaping... at least in the beginning.

🎈 Of course in the beginning, like the classic Yanderes that they are, they left you tied up, locked in the club house. Over time, you would gradually gain their trust, until finally they let you free yourself from the bonds. Even if they trust you enough not to be tied up, you will still have to stay locked in the club house with someone accompanying you.

🎈 Most of the time all the losers club would be together with you, but obviously they all have their own lives to take care of so even if they wanted to they can't be with you all the time, but they always make sure that someone, at least ONE person , stay with you to take care of you and also of course to keep you company.

🎈 so let's go to a hypothetical story, on a day when almost the entire losers club is busy and unfortunately for them, they won't be able to stay with you, they talk among themselves and decide to leave Richie taking care of you since then he was the only one I I was free that day.

🎈 Now let's imagine that you found something heavy like a big stick, a lamp or something, and when Richie got distracted you hit him in the head with this heavy thing.

🎈 Congratulations, you have a passed out Richie, and luckily they left the club house with the door open, now you can escape wonderful!, right?, now you can escape from there and go in search of help, right?.

🎈 Well...... no, unfortunately for you, most of the Losers Club had come back early from their tasks, and caught you running away, you obviously ran, and ran, and ran, as if you were a little animal running from hunters,it's no use.

🎈 In the end Bill manages to catch you and knock you to the ground, and the rest of the Losers Club hold you to the ground (like in Yandere Simulator when the students see Ayano with a body and they all hold her), but in short you were captured and taken back to Club house.

🎈 You had to listen to several sermons from Bill, Eddie, and Beverly.

🎈 "What the hell were you thinking, idiot?!" ,"We trust you!" ,"I know this place isn't the best place to stay, but we're doing everything we can to please you!".

🎈 Mike and Ben are very hurt by you, Richie is holding an ice pack on his head and also very hurt by you.

🎈 you hurt them all and broke the trust they had in you, now you have lost all your privileges, you will have to be tied up all the time, and you will have to be accompanied by more than one person.

🎈 you don't really receive a punishment, since none of them have the courage to hurt you or let you go hungry and thirsty, so the most punishment you would receive were temporary looks of hurt and disappointment. And remember I said it wasn't so It was difficult to escape from the Losers Club at the beginning?, well forget that, now the difficulty level has increased and to escape from them again you will have to have a flawless plan.

way too far gone

rafe cameron x barry

summary: rafe needs a piece too, and it isn’t fucking funny.

warnings: dom/sub undertones?, rafe is condescending (obviously), fade to black kinda, the beginning of a bj, not proofread

note: I’ve yet to see anything that puts writes barry in a non-dominant way which I can understand but I need to fulfill my delusions so. 18+ ofc

It was just a joke between bros alright? Rafe never actually meant to go through with it, until of course, he was handing Barry two hundred dollar bills and Barry got this sweet almost devious look on his face while he got down onto his knees. 

See, while Barry giggled about the idea of him with a glock, Rafe was staring. In fact, rafe had been staring for awhile, at Barry's little habits and his shiny ass pirate tooth.

For example, although it looked sweat-drenched most of the time,  Barry actually cared quite a bit about his hair. He took at least an hour a day to brush it out and had a variety of at least moderately high costing hair products. It made rafe laugh, thinking about Big Bad Barry robbing people only to go spend said money on hair products of all things.

Rafe noticed other things too, like the slightly droopy look of Barry's eyes when rafe complimented him about his mechanic skills. Or how his lips got especially loose after one too many hits of his blunt, talking about how much he loved soft things, and that one especially soft stuffed bunny he has stashed in his room. 

So, instead of being normal allies/friends rafe decided to make it weird. Rafe had a thing about making Barry giggle so of course, he can't be blamed that he spoke without thinking. "Why is it so unbelievable that I could need a gun?" Rafe snarled, he personally doesn't find the humor in his situation so to see Barry so outwardly making fun of him, oh that set him off.

"Oh no, don't go all Country-Club-Killa on me Richie Rich!" Barry exclaimed with quite a bit of mirth in his tone, as he leaned back in fake horror. "Barry." While the other man was giggling his ass off, Rafe was silently seething. But even then he couldn't help but remind that little voice in the back of his head that, No, it's not normal to be so happy about someone making fun of him.  "I'm sorry rafe, but I'm just curious on what you exactly need a piece for." he held out his hands in a peaceful manner to show that he was done joking around and was looking for a genuine answer from his ally.

"Listen man, are you gonna help me out or not? Jesus, do I need to pay you for it or something?" Rafe exasperated, tiredly running his hand through his hair to get ahold on his nerves.

"Rafe, there are many many things I'll do for cash, but I'm truly curious on why you of all people need a gun. If I get some money and the added bonus of messing with you, then that's unfortunately not a deal I can pass up."

"So what will, you do for money? You've told me before that you've had people give you BJ's in exchange for drugs right? so what would it take for you to be on the giving side." Rafe lowered his voice, somewhat insecure in his questioning.  "Well, why do you wanna know, country-club? You tryna' change your currency?" the brown eyed man questioned confidently, raising his eyebrow for emphasis.

Rafe stared. Taking in his, bright pink lips and big brown eyes, wondering what it would be like to have those lips around his length and those eyes staring up at him while tears crowded the edges of them and eventually flowed over.

Suddenly the nature around Barry's trailer, that so easily fell into the background, was louder than ever before.

"I'm a curious guy, alright? If there's a question to be asked, I'm gonna ask it." Rafe took on a slightly defensive tone and lowered his head into the space between his spread knees. "Right, and this line of questioning has nothing to do with you possibly getting your dick wet?" Barry looked on knowingly, leering at rafe.

With Barry's churlish, almost derisive tone coming in to play, rafe had the urge to snap back him. Show him that rafe was not one to disregard, that this snappy little attitude he showed would not be rewarded any longer.

To tug at brown strands until the recipient was crying and begging for the other man to not stop, to gag him until drool was seeping from his mouth, to keep him there so long that he got sleepy in the eyes and to kiss him sweetly after.

"Why do you care, anyway? What, got some fantasies of your own you feel like sharing, Barry?"

The space between them was quieted as they both thought through their options. One, rafe could laugh it off while being slightly condescending, Barry could go back to his book and ignore rafe until he got the hint and walked away, or they could give in to tension that had been brewing since Barry claimed ownership over rafe.  They chose.  Rafe surged forward, pushing himself into Barry's space on the couch as he grasped the back of the other man's neck to make their lips finally meet together in a swift motion. 

Heated turned soft as they kissed, exploring this new territory in their growing relationship. As the kiss went on, they both easily lost themselves to it, becoming placid. 

Rafe slowly pulled away from the kiss, taking Barry's lip with him just to watch it snap back into place. Eyes low, he pulled out two hundred dollar bills and placed them into Barry's nearest hand. Barry took a little time to react but when he did his slightly dazed expression didn't change

He put the two hundreds in his pocket, looked up momentarily and slid down to the floor, occupying the space between rafe's legs. 

Rafe wished he could say he couldn't believe this was happening right now but, if not now, when? With all their touchiness and barely veiled affection, even their screaming matches held sexual tension. The way Barry got a little too clingy while high around rafe was something on its own but the way rafe yearned for it as well?-

Rafe lost his train of thought as Barry began to unzip and unbutton his pants.

The idea that he'd finally get to see Barry on his knees for him, big brown eyes teary and bright pink lips around him, it was a heaven of it's own.

All at once, Barry pulled down the elastic top of his boxers so they would rest under his balls and his dick would be fully on display.

Barry leaned up and began kissing down rafe's navel, pausing to kiss each side of his hips before making it to his prize.

Rafe's dick was (unsurprisingly) pretty. He had a optimum amount of public hair, clearly groomed but not overly so. He was cut and the tip was a garish shade of red, contrasting with the slight pinkish hue of his skin.

The girth of his cock was thick (the tips of barry's fingers couldn't even touch) but not anything super special in the length department, reaching just about 7 inches. 

Barry took it into his hand and just sat there for a little, trying to get his fill. Eventually rafe began to get impatient, to stave this off he took one hand into Barry's mass of hair and began to undo the bun it had been settled into, he pulled the ponytail holder out and easily slid it around his wrist. 

"Hey, uh, you ever done this before?" Rafe's breathing was shaky and it took all his brain power to speak..

"Once or twice, but I ain't no dick-sucking warrior, if that's what you askin'." 

"No, I was just wondering because, you look kinda', intimidated." Even with his shallow breathing rafe was able to let out a small chuckle at the prospect of barry being afraid of his cock of all things.

"Me, intimidated by, you? You musta' lost your mind rafe. Ain't nothing about you intimidating to me." Barry lazily said, trying to give off a guise of indifference, but it was quickly broken when rafe realized Barry's ears were inflamed and he refused to make eye contact instead focusing on the pretty pretty pink head of rafe's slobbering dick.

"So what, you just sittin' there droolin' at it for fun?" Rafe tilted his head, questioning.

"Drooling? The only thing drooling here is your dick, rafe, cause apparently you can't get enough of seein' me on my knees."  Barry sassed, momentarily tightening his lax grip on rafe's cock.

Rafe hissed, inadvertently yanking on Barry's hair and Barry had to bite his lip to keep himself from moaning.

Barry decided it was time he get his mouth on rafe's annoyingly pretty cock before he did something stupid like beg for rafe to pull his hair again.

Dennis the menace vs Bart Simpson…u get it dude

THANK YOU KAT HHAGFKJG i had no other way to properly express it..

Obviously there's more personal things i enjoy with them in the 80s compared to the 50's, i effin love the 80's!!!! As a concept!!! Not the getting called a fag for breathing bits!!!

However i get peoples preferences for the losers taking place in the 50's vs the 80's. I have big feelings about the modern remakes and what they did right and how MUCH they did wrong. But i loved it personally, the losers to me always felt perfect as 80's nerds who were outcasted before nerd culture would become beloved. The peak of science fiction, pop culture, riding off the coat tails of Disco and Jazz as New Wave begins to take more of a hold. The Talking Heads, The Go Go's, The Police, MEN AT WORK. Granted this is also a good argument for them being adults at this time period, i just prefer them being kids and growing up with peak geek. It would become almost a sore spot for most of them, seeing how accepted nerdy shit is now. Imagine getting bullied for being a Star Wars fan just to see people praised for their sexy jabba the hutt cosplays now. AND BEFORE ANYONE CORRECTS ME the same thing can be said about the 50s and the rise of comic books and more dorky culture. Stan in his little boy scout uniform?? So cute and so essential in establishing his raw dorkness. But i still lean towards them in the 80's and their own individual nerd fandoms. I've actually got a project ive been working on with them in their little nerd fandoms 😭 Richie obviously was a Star wars kid Eddie was heavily into Star Trek and thinks Star wars is a cheap light show trying to copy the popular show at the time Bill is into dnd but after Georgies death his love for it begins to taper off, he does host a campaign every now and then when the inspiration strikes Stan has started to enjoy Thundercats as it premiers the winter before that awful summer And the group makes obvious Heman references all the time and have arguments over which Marvel character each person in the group would be (Which again could apply to the nerd group of 50s losers) I am in full agreeance that they botched the losers badly in the modern remakes; Ben?? Mike?? Bev?? Its not even funny how badly they were written. I could write a badly written novel about how much they fucked up Mike and Ben. But i still have such a soft spot for the modern remake. They feel more like jerk losers in the 80's, like kids who are bullied and because of that bullying have built a sort of defense mechanism to be pricks back. I would love to have seen more of the micro details King writes for his characters in the modern remakes, but i understand how difficult that is to express it in the movies. Though, personally, i'd watch a 5 hour long movie of The Losers just doing stupid shit to build their character

also im so sorry Kat you got me going and i had to write 30 paragraphs but THANK YOU 😭

[galacticleague]

speaking my truth on npmd because im thinking about this alot. i think the reason it falls flatter than tgwdlm and bf as a musical is that tgwdlm and bf have a running theme — want.

(whole thing undercut)

the cast of tgwdlm want human connection - charlotte wants sam to love her, bill wants alice to love him, mr davidson wants his wife to choke him while he jerks off etc etc, and eventually paul goes from 'i want what anyone wants, money, kids, a partner maybe idk' to - to put it simply - wanting emma (putting it very simply, if i went into detail this post would go off the rails). this switch is what makes him vulnerable to the hive and this want to live and to survive and to be happy with emma is satiated by pokey by giving him the connection he craves via hivemind, this is how it works for everyone. they want to be happy, pokey makes them happy by removing any need to want anything in the first place.

similarly, in bf, the adults of hatchetfield are still miserable and they want to be happy, they have this void within them that they feel they need to fill with products and consumerism. if they buy this stupid fucking doll their kids will love them, they will be happy, etc etc. and this want to be happy is similarly satiated by wiggly via the cult - they have something to worship, or - in lindas case - people who worship them. they have purpose, or at least they think they do, but whether their problems have actually been solved or not - they are still content.

but in npmd, this is less solid. theres that bit where they have to sacrifice what they want the most, but this is near the end. its kind of all over the place, and this wobbliness(?) is sort of just emphasised by the fact that there is no specific lord in black, its all of them. now i loved the summoning when i first watched it because im obviously a huge hatchetfield fan so i like. know who these characters are but as ive seen others say, alot of npmd does rely on knowing hatchetfield lore - understanding injokes. and in hindsight it just... isnt great for the cohesion of the plot.

tgwdlm and bf both have specific themes, specific lords in black, they have subplots but they have a solid throughline that is easier to follow. to me, npmd feels like its all over the place and it just feels kind of...mid for lack of a better word.

i think there were some moments that were just kind jarring? i guess? like if i loved you coming directly after ruths death was really strange, tonally. i wish they spent more time on ruths death tbh she deserved better. richie got two songs and an opening scene. anyways i digress- i feel like whenever i think about it im always like. i just wanted More. which is weird cuz its already like 2 hours long but idk. IDK!!! if i loved definitely felt unnecessary to me- like just conflict out of nowhere. i would have liked more build up to it. maybe im just salty that it took up stagetime that could have been used to grieve ruth but. sorry for the random if i loved you slander i think my point here is that some moments and some subplots felt more tropey, injokey or like fanservice??but not in a sexual way?? - is that the right word to use idk - than actual compelling plot moments. tgwdlm is an incredible work of theatre and uses subversions of tropes to communicate a great story, bf is a detailed criticism of american consumerism and how capitalistic societies force people to rely on products to make their lives better, npmd is. high school drama with ghosts. it just doesnt hit as hard on its own.

i dont want to be one of those "im a better writer, and THIS is how i would have done it!!!! im going to fix this!!!" people so im not going to do that but i think something i would have liked to see was focus on just one lord in black, probably nibbly because i feel like he fits the most and has the least preexisting story. i mean for gods sake, why does wiggly have the most speech time out of all the lords in black again!!! he already has an entire musical about him!!! greedy bitch- well i guess thats kind of his thing. i think i just want to see more of nibbly tbh, he has one nmt story and he only shows up at the very end. anyways that was kind of a side rant sorry gang. there isnt a problem with having a story featuring all the lords in black, but i think it just doesnt quite work in npmd for like structural reasons as well as plot cohesion.

i did enjoy npmd, im not pretending i didnt, but narratively it is the weakest hatchetfield musical and i just wanted to put my finger on what it is specifically. please dont take this as like hate or slander, i am a huge starkid fan, but i think it is important to consume media critically.

also i am not a professional i am a teenage drama and english lit student who likes media analysis and narrative design so just. take everything i say with a grain of salt :)

if you read all this, thankyou and if you disagree please lmk what you think(civilly.i do not want discourse in my notes)!! i could be hugely wrong about this and just need to think more about npmd and id love to see others' analyses!

My personal Hatchetfield theories/head canons

Spoiler warning for all musicals and Nightmare Time 1&2

The LiB always wanted Grace in NPMD. They address her first with “We’ve been watching you Gracie”. Also I think the lighting in Dirty Girl means that they were watching or possibly even influencing Grace’s fantasy

I think Grace was easier for them to influence since she was already extremely religious. Something like it’s easier to switch the object of worship than making someone worship in the first place

There’s the theory about the timelines diverging at Hannah’s birth. (I like this theory). But what if the timelines actually started diverging with the Weylons and we’re simply not seeing all the wildly different timelines? Or maybe there’s timelines where the timelines diverge at different times? I really said the word timelines too much there and gave myself a timeline-induced headache but it’s still fun to think about

That moment in Show Me Your Hands in TGWDLM where Sam briefly takes off his sunglasses is actually Sam getting control from the alien for the shortest moment before the alien takes back over and puts the glasses back on

Paul, Bill, Ted and Charlotte do board game nights. There’s no indication for this really but I like the idea

Pete introduced Ted to dnd and he invited him to dm a game for them on game night once. Ted played a horny halfling bard, Charlotte played a half-elf cleric, Bill played a half-orc barbarian and Paul played a human fighter. Paul really disliked the rp elements but got really into the strategy of the fights.

Obviously all Jon’s characters are related. My specific idea for this is: Paul and Gary are cousins, Richie is Gary’s son (the reason they have different last names is that Gary and Richie’s mom aren’t married so he’s got his mom’s last name. They’re co-parenting happily though).

Richie and Ruth are siblings. I know if that was the case Ruth would have known about his death but I still like it as a head canon

Ghost Of You (M.B.)-Chapter 1

Just Trust Me, You'll Be Fine

2005-Chicago, Illinois

The warm spring air was kissing Angie's brown skin. Under different circumstances, she would've taken the time to soak it in. 

"Don't even think about coming back until you've reapplied!" Her father yelled from the front porch. He slammed the door and quickly locked it.

"Shit." Her mind raced trying to think of what to do next. Tears were staining her shirt as they fell from her face. As she put her bags in the trunk, she pulled out her phone and called the one person who could help.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Nat."

"Hey. Are you crying?"

"No." She sniffled. "Yeah."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think your mom would mind if I stayed with you guys for a few days?"

"Probably not. Why?"

"My dad kicked me out."

"Holy shit. Like for real?"

"He took my fucking key, so yeah."

"Oh my god, Ange. Of course you can come over. I'll talk to Mom."

"Thank you, Nat. Seriously. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Be homeless, probably."

Even in the situation she was in, Nat still made her laugh.

"I'll see you soon."

🤍

'Knock knock'

"Oh, Angelina!" Donna exclaimed as she opened the door.

"Hi, Donna. I hope this is okay."

"More than okay! You're family!" She pulled Angie into a tight embrace and kissed her cheeks.

"Thank you. I won't be here long."

"You can stay as long as you want, honey."

"I really appreciate it."

"Of course. Sugar just stepped out to get some snacks for you two. Do you need help with your bags?"

"I think I'm okay-"

"Michael!" She yelled into the house. "Get down here!"

"That's really okay. I can handle it."

"It's no trouble for him. Seriously."

The dark haired man came down the stairs and gave her a soft smirk. "Hey, Ange." He placed a cigarette between his lips and took a long drag.

"Hey." She smiled.

Mikey Berzatto was the kind of man who got whatever he wanted. He was confident, funny, and handsome as hell. Which is why Angie had such a hard time focusing whenever he was in the same room as her. Throughout the course of her friendship with Natalie, Angie had a crush on her brother for most of it. And he wasn't like the typical older brother. He was nice to her. She would even go as far as to call him her friend. The problem wasn't even that he was her best friend's brother. It was that she was twenty and he was twenty-five.

"Michael, be a dear and help Angie with her bags."

He nodded and put the cigarette out. "Bags? You staying?" He followed her to her car.

"Uh, yeah. My dad sort of...kicked me out."

"Shit. You okay?"

"I guess." She opened the trunk and grabbed the lighter bags. "Aren't you gonna ask what I did?"

"You want me to ask?"

"I dropped out of college."

"What? Why?"

"Because, I don't wanna be a fucking lawyer."

"Well, what do you wanna do?"

She followed him up the stairs to Nat's room. They both set the bags down on the floor and sat on the bed. "Can I be honest?"

"Of course."

"I have no idea what I wanna do."

"That's okay. You're still young."

She rolled her eyes and leaned back on her elbows. "I'm not that young." Ever since she turned eighteen two years ago, Angie had been trying and failing to convince Mikey she wasn't a little kid anymore.

"Fine. You're not that young. But, you're still young. You've got time to decide."

"Shouldn't you be working?"

"I had to take care of some bills. Richie's running the place for me."

"Uh oh."

"Tell me about it."

They heard footsteps approaching the room. The blonde walked through the doorway and grinned. She dropped the bag of snacks on the bed and leaned down to hug her friend.

"Death grip much?" Angie laughed.

"Sorry." She sat next to them on the bed. "I'm just so glad you're here. I'm not happy that you got kicked out, obviously."

"I know. I'd rather be here than home anyway."

"I gotta get back to some paperwork." Mikey headed towards the door. "But I'll catch you later, Ange."

"Bye."

He winked before walking out and closing the door behind him.

"I'm gonna barf." Nat groaned.

"Why?"

"You and Mikey. It's so sweet that it makes me sick."

"What?"

"The girl falling for her best friend's brother. It's a classic."

"Well, that's definitely not what's happening."

"Yeah it is."

"On my side maybe. He still thinks I'm a kid."

"Can you blame him? He's old."

"He is not."

"If you two get married, you'll be changing his diapers."

"Can you not?"

"Fine. But seriously, you guys would be so cute."

"Don't get your hopes up. It's never gonna happen."

"Hey." She rested her hand on hers. "How about we have a movie night?"

"Can I pick?"

"As long as it's The Notebook."

"Duh."

[ghoulish-art-tendencies]

Opinions about the movie it: Specifically, about Richie and Eddie and their whole deal. and How they defeat Pennywise the first time.

Also have you read the book?

SPOILERS AHEAD, in can you could not have guessed.

Okay so IT. IT is one of my top 3 movies of all time (if not all time) in which I watched it about 5 times in a week when I first got into it. (I also have not read the book yet but I have been planning on it for a while, just need to get my hands on it.) I really enjoyed it personally, and I don't think it is that scary anymore, but I was originally scared shitless the first time I tried to watch it years ago when I was not into horror yet. Even though it was made in 2017, it still has that 80s horror feel to it that I love, and I love the dynamic between the group of 7 in the first movie.

Now buckle up, because I am about to go full on special interest on this ask and yap about its inherent queerness and how it affects the story line and how it could've been used more.

Richie, Eddie, and the inherent queerness between the two. It was very clear that Richie, if not Eddie as well, were very much implied to be interested in each other.

But more specifically Richie. I honestly wish they did more with them, but it was very clear that they were a duo; a pair within the original group of 4. Putting it out now: I have not actually seen IT Chapter 2 all the way through as I kept crying over Stanley's death, and I honestly was extremely disappointed in how they handled the film as a whole, and the decline in quality. So, my information may not be entirely correct, but in the end of IT chapter 2, we see a clip of Richie carving he and Eddie's initials into the bridge. As well as I believe when Eddie dies later in the film, Richie tries to go back to get his body/doesn't want to leave him behind. Richie was obviously head over heels for him from the start to finish, and you could tell. From the constant bickering; teasing; borderline obsession that he had for Eddie. In the book, I believe Richie would also call Eddie "Eddie Spaghetti" multiple times, don't quote me though. All of this to say, Richie loved Eddie. A LOT. To the point that in the second movie Richie was out as gay but STILL hadn't found a lover, whilst we see both Stanley, Bill, and Eddie married, as well with Beverly with a boyfriend (in the beginning of the film, at least). I am not saying that some of these relationships are healthy by any means (especially Eddie's which I will explain soon), but it goes to show that many of the people from the core 7 found relationships, and yet Richie did not.

Now Eddie is slightly more complicated, as all throughout IT we see the toxic relationship between his mother, and how she gaslit him into believing he was sick all the time. This would then later end up with him marrying someone else very similar to his mother who treated him very much the same. Then, at the end where he ends up dying, it ends very tragically where his whole life he had to live with people being very controlling over him and him never getting to experience that freedom he deserved. I bring this up because in IT, we see near the end where Eddie is told that his medication are placebos, and he tells his mother he's tired of her trying to keep him away from his friends. He realised there that he was happier and more free when he was with his friends, and (though not said) specifically Richie as well in my opinion. Richie was unabashedly himself, and wasn't afraid to be weird with his friends. I know it is strongly theorised that Richie is ADHD as well, which could also play a part. All the while both Stan and Bill are more reserved in my opinion, both as Bill was self-conscious because of his stutter, and Stanley being bullied for being jewish (both of which we see happen in the beginning of IT). Eddie felt more comfortable around his friends, and specifically Richie because he truly did not care enough about acting weird. Though I believe it is never actually shown that Eddie had a romantic interest in Richie, I strongly believe it could've been something if the writers allowed it.

Now, Eddie and Richie's interactions with each other (in the first movie, because as I have said I have not seen enough of the second movie to speak on it much). Many times, we see specifically Richie and Eddie interacting. To be honest, they are probably the 2 people we see interacting the most throughout the entire movie. One scene I want to bring up specifically, which took me multiple watches to catch, is that at I believe the Derry festival, Richie comes back with 2 ice cream cones, and gives one to Eddie. Now, whether Eddie had directly asked him to get him a cone, or Richie just buying it for him, I think it shows just how much Richie did care about him. I think it shows a little bit of how they interact with each other when we don't see them (on camera). And sure, you can buy ice cream for your friends, but would you not also either ask if anyone else wanted one? You could make the argument that he couldn't carry it but it doesn't disprove the fact Richie specifically bought ice cream for Eddie, which shows how he cared for him.

Richie and Eddie are also constantly bickering back and forth. From when Eddie is trying to help Ben after getting stabbed and him telling Richie to shut up with the silly voices, or in the sewer scene where Richie constantly bickers to Eddie about him being afraid to enter. You can obviously see Richie being the comedic relief, but always more-so to Eddie. To me, I interpret this as him seeing that Eddie is almost always on edge, and trying to distract him to make sure he's happier. And while we do see Eddie get annoyed at Richie, I don't think we ever truly saw him get angry at him or be upset, other than slightly annoyed or exasperated.

I know l am yapping, but to answer your next question about how they defeated pennywise the first time, I think Richie and Eddie's relationship still play a fairly large role. They learn that in order to defeat Pennywise, they have to stop being afraid. We see Richie constantly worry about Eddie when in the house, and basically stuck to his side. In the scene where they are in Bill's garage and watching the projector, when Pennywise shows up on it, we see in the background Richie grabbing onto Eddie, and Eddie grabbing onto him. In a moment of fear, they automatically reached towards each other. This to me they they feel most safe when they are together/close. This makes me think that Richie was really the one that helped Eddie be brave enough to face Pennywise and defeat him. While I think Richie was able to be brave enough to defeat Pennywise because he not only cares about the group but also wanted to keep Eddie safe.

All of this to say; Richie and Eddie were very much implied to be queer (in the movies); even more-so when Richie was confirmed to be gay in the second movie. I really wish that we got to see Richie and Eddie get together to not only have that queer representation, but because I honestly think it would have been a healthy relationship, like it was in the beginning. Richie constantly distracting and teasing Eddie; then comforting each other in times of fear; doing little things for the other. They both cared about each other a lot and I am truly disappointed on the fact we never got to see a happy ending for Eddie, where after years of being in an abusive relationship where Eddie is made to be dependent on the people that are supposed to be your most trusted, he just, dies. We never get to see him get out of those relationships and find someone better (AKA Richie). I truly think the story of Richie and Eddie after IT Chapter 2 could have been its own movie or mini series/book (even though it wouldn't have been). To see Richie be in contact with Eddie again and maybe help him realise he's in an abusive relationship and help him get out of it. At that point it doesn't when have to be romantic but just a deep and intense love for wanting the other to be happy. It would have made a great ending of 2 characters finally finding happiness in each other again after years of struggling.

So there. You asked about my opinion of IT and here it is. This took me like an hour as I immediately started writing after getting this ask, but I enjoyed it. It's nice to finally put my thoughts on this movie into a (hopefully) coherent analysis. Even if like 1 person reads this lol I am happy I got the opportunity to yap about my all time favourite movie. :D Thanks for the ask, and again, sorry about the excessive yapping.

Stanley Uris was the strongest loser here’s my argument (I will immediately disagree if you say otherwise) (yes I like brackets they look fancy)

-Stanley moved away from everything (like the rest of the losers) yet still seemed to remember more than the others. Why? Because he is a bad ass bitch

-even though he was scared, the hoe went down that brick pipe thing and searched for Beverly on his own because he heard a noise (I know he nearly got eaten but I definitely would have just waited for the rest of them before leaving)

- He had the audacity to write ‘be who you want to be’ in his letter but if u zoom in on bills letter that shit is no where to be found. I know for sure the boy wrote that as his final sarcastic/supportive comment to Richie from beyond the grave

- He stood up infront of everyone and slayed the house down at his bar mitzvah and gave daddy dearest a run for his money

- Cared about getting spiders in his hair after being repeatedly spooked and attacked by pennywhore on multiple occasions and he bought shower caps for all of his friends because he loved them that much

- Wrote a ‘for use of losers only’ message on the shower cap can and singed it with his name. I mean, the guy wasn’t afraid to call himself a loser and make sure everyone knew who got these caps man. (A bit unrelated but I don’t care)

- And obviously, to get serious for a moment here. The guy sacrificed himself because he knew he was scared. He lived every day of his life afraid of what would happen if he went back but didn’t hesitate to take his own life in order to save his friends lives. He was sacred every single time but wasn’t afraid to admit it. He didn’t die because of some dumb ass clown, he stood there, knowing full well he wasn’t gonna let that clown do a number on him and let everyone think that penny won, No, Stanley Uris got there before Pennywise did. Stanley is the strongest because he put his life on the line before even thinking about risking everyone else’s.

If you couldn’t tell Stanley is my favourite and I would defend him to the end of the world 😌

For Your Consideration, Some Terrible Losers Club Headcanons**

**Mostly Eddie cus I think he’s silly

When they got married, Eddie and Myra’s wedding colors were teal and white

Their wedding song was “A Thousand Years” from the Twilight soundtrack — Eddie thinks it’s the most beautiful song to ever be written

Richie uses Apple Music (saw this in a fanfic somewhere, couldn’t unsee it)

Eddie’s the type of guy to mansplain the “true message of” Hamilton to the women in his workplace/Myra

After Derry 2016, Bill sends all of his books to Beverly so she can approve/veto the endings. She’s usually a good neutral party

The Losers meet once a month at least for dinner and to catch up

Richie gives them all VIP passes to his future shows and they never fail to show up (even when he ends up relentlessly bullying them on stage)

Bill and Richie definitely kissed in front of paparazzi once “for the bit” (Audra approved of this and thought it was hilarious)

Eddie was a huge fan of Twilight but didn’t admit it because he saw himself as “above” the other fans

They welcomed Patty Uris as an honorary Loser after Stan’s funeral. She and Mike get along the most of all of them

Despite not being a millennial, Eddie certainly acts like a stereotypical one and you cannot convince me otherwise (hence the Twilight and Hamilton references)

Eddie’s the type of guy to say “don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee”*

*If he doesn’t have his coffee then Eddie’s a little bit agitated throughout the day, BUT if Beverly doesn’t have her coffee she will kill someone. Stan is somewhere between them

Mike adopted a Pomeranian after leaving Derry. Richie is sometimes horrified of it

The others bring up Eddie frequently in a joking way, but rarely (at first) does Richie participate. Somehow nobody notices that he gets quiet when they bring the topic up

The Losers got famous on social media after reconnecting, purely because of how weird they seem together. Beverly’s personal accounts quickly turned into everyone’s source for Losers content

I’m sorry but Ben seems like the type of guy to go to a family event and ask “where’s my hug? :D”

Bill would want to make his son a junior to “carry on his family name” but also, I feel like if he were to have kids he’d be graced with all girls. Girldad Bill…hm

Richie being their universe’s Bill Hader is so silly to me because, and ONLY because of Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. I feel like the Losers would relentlessly bully him for that shit

Not a headcanon but I love Patty and Audra, I’m quite possibly their biggest fan

Audra, Patty, and Bev best girlboss unit. I love the idea of them hanging out maybe I should write a fanfic about it

Obviously I’m a huge fan of the idea that Stanley and Eddie never died but that’s not exactly a headcanon so. Um. They’re still alive in my heart

[salemlostsignal]

In my humble opinion, I headcanon that Richies grandma is one of those coastal grandmas, and every summer, he goes and spends time with her.

Here's what I headcanon for this type of idea.

-definitely took surfing/swimming lessons

•probably isn't all great at surfing but is decently good at swimming (which is really surprising)

-brought a poor hermit crab back to darry and kept it for 2 years, named it Shell-y Duval.

-brings sea glass, sea shells, fossils, and random jewelry/trinkets back and gives them to the losers club as "souvenirs."

•refused to bring the losers there because he thought his grandma wouldn't want to tolerate a bunch of rowdy teens. She, in fact, did want to. She ended loving the losers when Richie brought them along.

-always comes home with a super awful sunburn and sand scrapes.

•once accidentally fell asleep in a sun chair and had a tan line (more like sunburn line) from his sunglasses and didn't even realize it until Beverly took a Polaroid of the group together.

-as a kid, he would find sand dollars on the beach and try to revive them with water, which didn't work, obviously.

•now he keeps them, or uses them like skipping rocks.

-has one of those Puka shell necklaces and NEVER takes it off.

-once got a coral scrape and has never liked coral since. Absolutely terrified of it.

-got stung by a jellyfish when he brought the club to the beach.

•was probably showing off a dive he learned and dived directly into one, then came rolling onto the shore like he was on fire.

•Eddie was likely screaming about them having to pee on it.

•Stan was more then likely willing to do so.

•bill was trying to explain plain water works just fine to get the stingers put, that they really, really didn't have to do that.

•Bev was probably laughing so hard she wasn't of any help.

•Ben had gone to the bathroom and came back really confused.

•Mike was probably late to the hangout and showed up after Richie had already gotten the stingers out but refused to touch the water now.

-accidentally took an alive starfish.

•thought it was dead, put it on his wall and it started climbing.

Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

AVAILABLE ON AO3

Inspiration: this prompt + BIRDS OF A FEATHER by Billie Eilish

Summary: Richie liked to play video games, and by some stroke of luck, it became his job. Being primarily known as Trashmouth on stream, he found his own little group of streamer friends and they became intertwined: The Losers Club. It never did feel quite complete, though. Well, until, he got his very own backseat gamer in chat.

TWs: cursing, talk of sex, mention of toxic relationships, and shameless flirting.

[[A/N: There's a lot in this one. Mostly sweet stuff though. And more Loser shit !!! So get hype. Anyway. Enjoy :))]]

"If I wasn't an option," Richie posed, "-which Loser would you date?"

It was the second day of driving, they were about halfway through their 'driving hours' and Richie was trying to keep himself entertained. With Eddie now, it was easier to occupy himself -whether it be fidgeting with his hand or just keeping up a conversation.

"What?"

"If I wasn't an option, which Loser would you date?" Richie repeated -casually.

Eddie paused -thinking, wordlessly. Richie kinda wanted to look at him, but they were on the road. He'd get to look at him later anyway, he'd stare at him as long as possible later. Like he did in that mirror-

"Bill," Eddie answered, half-certain, "-He's kinda like you in a different font."

Good point.

"But you'd secretly yearn for me the whole time," Richie added, playfully, "-right?"

"Obviously," Eddie responded, grinning (completely in-sync, it made Richie want to scream how much they just... belonged).

"That's what... Beddie?" Richie thought on it, before shriveling up his nose, "-Disgusting, actually."

"That is pretty bad," Eddie relented, before stating -stubbornly "-Not that I like fucking... Reddie."

"Awe c'mon, Eds," Richie blindly moved around, searching for his hand -Eddie met him in the middle (laughing a little), "-It only means they love you."

"I already know that," Eddie added, and Richie could feel him look at him, "-They're always spamming chat with the fucking spaghetti emoji. Thanks for that, asshole-"

"Uh, uh, uh," Richie tsked, pulling Eddie's hand to his lips and kissing it, "-I have it on good authority that you like that shit, actually."

"You're such a fucking dick," Eddie rolled his eyes, but he was definitely smiling -it made a smile peek along Richie's lips too.

"A dick for citing my sources?" Richie asked.

"Shut up," Eddie stressed out, "-I take all that shit back. Turn around, take me back to that shithole-"

"It's so cute when you lie to me, Eds."

"Shut the fuck up-" Eddie laughed, taking his freehand (the others stayed intertwined) and shoving at Richie's shoulder -hard, "-asshole."

"Next question-" Richie started.

"Hey, no," Eddie interrupted, "-You didn't answer. Don't try and fucking slip out of that shit."

They were technically playing 20 questions at the moment but Richie was pretty sure they were way past 20. So, yeah, there were rules. Technically.

"Yeah, okay, Eds, let me think," Richie hummed -thumb dancing along the back of Eddie's hand (a mix of tapping and rubbing along the skin), "-Is this a completely imaginary world? Could I hypothetically like women? Because-"

"Bev is such a cop-out," Eddie hissed.

"Okay, okay," Richie laughed -tapping his fingers along the wheel.

Miles and miles of road ahead of them (but Richie didn't really mind that with Eddie there). He could probably do anything with Eddie. He gave him like secret fucking powers, he felt fucking invincible with him. Like everything was fucking amazing, like nothing could hurt him.

"Honestly?" Richie finally started to answer, "-Probably Stan. He knows what's best for me, and other than you and maybe Bev, he's the only one who can deal with me."

"What about Patty?" Eddie asked -curiously.

"Throuple," Richie clarified, "-obviously."

Eddie hummed, and he took it as a sign to continue.

He added, "I always told them if I was still alone at 30, to clean out a room and I'd be their practice kid."

"You already are their fucking practice kid," Eddie remarked -pulling their hands into his lap and fidgeting with Richie's (fingertips tapping along his knuckles).

"That's very true," Richie leveled, "-You can't fucking imagine how much Stan the man has helped me with you."

"Helped you with me?" Eddie furrowed his eyebrows, "-What the fuck does that mean?"

"Stanny's like my surrogate parent," Richie explained, "-So any time I had like new feelings or any of that... shit, I went to him. And well, Steve too, but you can only have so many appointments-"

Eddie followed up, brown eyes set on the side of his face, "But about me? What about me?"

"Um, early on, we talked about you," Richie answered, "-but like every big event, probably. Like when we actually like really started messaging all the time, when I said you could move in with me, when I figured out I was in love with you. Well, actually, he helped me figure that shit out-"

"When was that?"

"When was what?" Richie asked.

Eddie clarified, still staring at him, "When did you find out that you loved me?"

Richie's eyes flashed to him for a second, taking in his face -all big eyes and curious glance. He had to keep it quick, because otherwise, he would physically not be able to stop. Every time he looked at Eddie he found something fucking new to love-

"This count as a question, Eds?" Richie asked.

Eddie paused a second, before answering, "Yes, yeah, I'll answer it after you do."

Richie let that sit for a minute. Okay.

"When you told me my smile was crooked," Richie spoke -instinctively (it was still stuck in his mind), laughing a little, "-and then insulted me for getting embarrassed. That was... That was the first time it ever fucking... hit me. And I wasn't really sure that it was love, hence the Stanley thing, but yeah. Then."

Eddie eyed him silently for a second, "That was like 4 days before you actually said it."

"Yeah," Richie laughed, "-I'm really not fucking good at keeping my mouth shut. But I do think it was probably longer, that's just the first time I thought it."

There was a pause.

"What about you, Eds?"

"The first time I thought it?" Eddie asked.

Richie clarified, "Sure, whatever you can remember."

Eddie took a moment before his eyes fell to their hands -unlacing them just to trace the creases in Richie's palms. It sent goosebumps down his spine, he was getting used to the touching constantly still, not that he didn't initate 75% of it-

"I think-" Eddie started, before pausing, "-I think the first time the fucking... word came to mind was probably... um, when you were cooking? And you did that stupid alien skit."

Richie blinked, "What?"

"Yeah, I just-" Eddie continued, fidgeting with his hands with more intention (nervous maybe), "-I saw you fucking... being you. Just a giant fucking dork and only I get to see that shit, and I don't know it just... I thought about it for a second."

"Shit," Richie laughed, red climbing up his collar, "-Seriously? How did you-"

"I didn't like fucking cement it," Eddie clarified, a little flustered, "-it was just there. I think when it did was... Well, it's fucking cliché but a little after you did that fucking speech about loving me. It was when you told me that you'd drive fucking 43 hours for me. The fact that you'd thought about it beforehand, and that you would just do that shit for me. I don't know it just... I was just like 'fuck, I really do love you'."

"I'll never understand how you didn't fucking say it. It was all I could fucking think about, every time we talked it was like a blaring fucking alarm," Richie made his voice a little louder and more robotic, "-I LOVE EDDIE KASPBRAK, I LOVE EDDIE-"

"Because I have self-control, unlike you, idiot," Eddie snapped, playfully, "-but it wasn't fucking easy. It was the first thing I said to you, don't you fucking remember? Or is your memory-"

"Of course I do," Richie interrupted, seriously (noting that there was a gas station the next exit), "-I'm never gonna fucking forget that. Probably ever."

Eddie's lips snapped shut, and a silence enveloped the car. Richie paused, Was that too serious?

"Are we stopping anywhere soon?" Eddie asked, something in his voice that Richie couldn't name.

"Yeah," Richie's eyes flicked to the fuel gauge, "-Imma fill up at this next exit. Why?"

Eddie decidedly didn't answer that, and soon enough, Richie pulled off into the exit and then into the gas station. There wasn't much chatting, but Richie was a little focused on getting where he needed to, so he didn't note it.

With a breath, he pulled up to a pump and parked.

"Are we parked?" Eddie questioned -pointedly.

Richie furrowed his eyebrows, turning to Eddie and unbuckling his seatbelt, "Uh, yeah, wh-"

Before he could finish the sentence, Eddie launched himself forward and kissed him. So fast that Richie barely fucking blinked, and took a moment to understand what was happening. When he did though, Richie laughed. Eddie pushed forward (a little like he was craving it which made Richie's head swirl), but it only made it worse -in between kisses he laughed even more.

"Stop fucking laughing at me," Eddie finally separated, now fully over the gearshift between them -angled to match Richie's face, and smacked his chest.

"It's just you fucking-" Richie laughed, before retorting with a suggestive eyebrow raise (it should be noted that Eddie kissed him after each word with a cute little frown), "-My serious voice get ya hot under the collar, Mr. Kaspbrak?"

"Maybe," Eddie pulled back, but not too far, "-plus, I like when you drive. You do that thing where you stretch your arm out to look behind the car and-"

Richie was grinning, and Eddie’s voice faltered -frown flat on his lips (cute little cheeks puffed up). Fuck, I love him-

"-Fuck you, asshole. Sue me for being attracted to my boyfriend."

God.

"I love the fuck out of you, Eddie Kaspbrak," Richie laughed, putting one of his hands on the side of his face and pressing their lips together again. A slower kind, deliberate.

Richie felt Eddie relax into him, frown dissipating and the tight grip on his shirt lessening (his hands laid flat against his chest after a moment). And he was losing his shit a little that he could do that to Eddie. Because what the fuck-

With a breath, and when Eddie seemed completely... well, calm (if that made sense), Richie pulled back. And he relished in the second that Eddie stayed there -eyes still closed like he was waking up from a dream. God, Richie felt so fucking powerful-

His eyes fluttered open, brown resting on Richie -affectionately (lovingly, even).

"You satisfied, Eddie baby?" Richie laughed, "-That work for you for a while? Because I really gotta go get some gas and then we gotta drive a lot more-"

"You're such an asshole," Eddie scoffed, still a breath away, "-See if I ever let you kiss me again."

"You sure you can hold yourself to that, Spaghetti?" Richie leveled laughing a little, voice a lower than necessary whisper, "-If I remember correctly you kissed me first-"

"Shut up," Eddie puffed out his cheeks -lips in a thin line and pink crawling up his collar. He leaned forward a kissed him again, a surface-level kiss, a peck. A little like he needed it to physically survive, and you know what, Richie did too-

"Okay, okay, Eds," Richie laughed pulling back again -hands smoothed along his face, "-I love you, I do, but we really gotta fucking fill up now."

"I know," Eddie hummed, before letting out a deep sigh and pushing himself back into his chair -Richie on instinct almost chased him, "-Let's go get gas, fuckface."

"You coming with?" Richie posed, curiously.

"Of fucking course I am," Eddie responded, instantly, "-why wouldn't I?"

"I dunno, I just-" Richie shrugged, "-I just gotta go in and pay and then I'm back out here again, it'll just be a minute."

"I wanna stretch my legs, asswipe," Eddie countered, "-Plus, I've spent enough time away from you, I'm not doing that shit anymore."

Richie grinned at him, slightly tilting his head, and he saw Eddie's eyes flick over his face like he was taking him in. Totally and completely.

He teased, a cheesy grin clear on his face, "You want some candy don't ya, Eddie baby?"

Eddie's lips fell into a flat line, and he puffed up his cheeks.

"Yeah, maybe," he spoke, quietly, before adding (and combing through Richie's hair), "-but I really fucking do want to be around you 24/7, I'm not just saying that."

"Yeah, I know, Eds," Richie laughed, smiling at him gently, "-I don't think you could physically escape me ever now. I think you're fucked-"

"Not fucked," Eddie interrupted, "-That's actually what I wanted. What I want, present tense."

And then, after Eddie wrestled him down for one more kiss, the Eddie kind where it felt like he'd been wanting to do it for decades (in reality, they'd kissed like 1 minute beforehand. But hey, you wouldn't find Richie complaining-), they finally got out of the car and loaded into the gas station.

It should be said that Eddie left with a bag full of an assortment of candy. He actually didn't even fight him to pay, which Richie was pretty stoked about (If he could, he'd take care of Eddie for life). Even if it was just tiny little things. As said before, he'd give him anything he'd wanted.

All that being said, they were back on the road -splitting some Starburst. Eddie only liked the pink and yellow, and Richie ate all the others. So Eddie would meticulously unwrap them, and instead of placing them in Richie's hand (he kept their hands intertwined), he popped them into his mouth. He distinctly had to wonder how Eddie wasn't losing his shit touching Richie's lips because he sure as fuck knows he would-

"What's your go to move?" Eddie suddenly broke the silence, and clarifying, "-Flirting with a guy."

"Does Eds want me to pull the moves on him?" Richie teased, "-Sweep you off your feet? Because I-"

"Shut up and answer my question, asshole," Eddie snapped back -popping a yellow Starburst into his mouth.

Richie pressed his lips together in thought.

"Probably try and make him laugh," Richie started, "-Just kinda warm him up, I guess."

Eddie hummed, tilting his head, "You did start talking to me with jokes."

"I did," Richie agreed, "-and I was definitely trying to flirt with you. And your cute ass freckles."

"You can barely even see them," Eddie pointed out, hand patiently waiting with an orange Starburst (Richie's least favorite if he was honest, not that he'd tell Eddie that because he wasn't sure if Eddie would then try to eat them himself).

"Yeah, but they're there," Richie reasoned, "-and the sunny skies of San Francisco will get those babies out for me to love-"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever fuckface," Eddie shoved at his shoulder with the side of his hand -carefully of the candy, "-What about when you're actually trying to flirt? After the whole fucking... warm up."

"Uh," Richie blew a raspberry, "-I'm actually not fucking... sure, Eds. I don't... I don't think I'm great at flirting."

Eddie laughed, "Yeah, right, asshole."

"I'm serious," Richie relented -honestly.

Eddie stared at the side of his face, blinking, "You're so fucking stupid."

"Jeez, Spaghetti, I didn't-"

"Shut up," Eddie quickly interrupted, "-You're so fucking... charismatic and nonchalantly confident. It's fucking... hot."

Richie laughed a little in disbelief (but he believed Eddie wholeheartedly), "Nonchalantly confident?"

"God, you do it all the fucking time," Eddie paused for a second, maybe trying to explain, "-It's just... Like when you called me fucking... beautiful. I was trying to fucking embarrass you, and you just... doubled down. Confident as shit."

"That's-" Richie paused, "-I mean, I just meant it."

"You were being confident," Eddie annunciated, "-and it's hot as fuck. There's no way you don't pull that shit out."

"Well," Richie echoed, carefully, "-I did with you, apparently, and that's all that matters to me, personally."

Those words settled in the air for a second.

And then Eddie pulled their intertwined hands to his lips -kissing the back of Richie's hand. It made his heart skip a beat, so incredibly tender and fucking... loving.

"Your turn, Eds," Richie finally said, playfully, "-What are your moves?"

"Batting my eyes," Eddie answered simply, popping the Starburst into Richie's mouth (his lips tingled for a second too long), "-and probably the whole bullying thing. If you count that as flirting."

"I definitely fucking do," Richie clarified, before commenting on the other part, "-and your eyes are fucking... enchanting, you have the longest eyelashes in the world. You could probably make me do anything if you just fucking looked at me-"

"You'd do anything for me just by me fucking... existing," Eddie laughed a little -popping a pink Starburst into his mouth.

"And your eyes are definitely a fucking part of that," Richie pointed out, before agreeing, "-But yeah, just you being you makes me want to rip the moon out of the sky and give it to you."

"You know what that would do to the world?" Eddie laughed -throwing the Starburst wrapper into their makeshift trash bag.

Richie smiled, and wished he could kiss him then, "I would end the world for you, babey~"

"You're such a dumbass," Eddie kept laughing, as the road twirled ahead of them.

They drove for a few more hours until night fell. Well, actually, a little past that, which took a lot of convincing on Richie's part. But Eddie did eventually cave. At like 11 though, Eddie nearly grabbed the wheel himself to pull off. So, they ended up at a little hotel, one that Eddie was... okay with. Richie would've liked to make him more happy with it, but he actually was pretty tired -although, he made sure not to show Eddie that. Or tried to anyway (he was pretty sure Eddie could tell).

Eddie led him to book a room, hands intertwined -grabbing the keys and guiding him to the door. Richie was holding his bag, and only his on his shoulder (Eddie had told him just to bring his, "I'll just wear something of yours", he was decidedly not thinking about it). And then, they were off -tucked away into their room.

Both dressed, Richie threw himself into the bed and Eddie was going through his nighttime routine (he might have not had his bag, but he did have the 'necessities' or so he says).

Eddie was rubbing something on his face, probably a moisturizer. And Richie was watching him through the doorway -light trinkling into the room, as he leaned against the pillow. Eddie was wearing his clothes, a soft graphic tee that was a little too big on him and some gym shorts that hung too far on his legs. Richie almost fainted, but luckily he is currently, wrapped into the comforter -face peeking out (along with what he could imagine was an insane amalgamation of hair on his head).

"Eds," Richie called, sing-songy, "-Spaghetti, Eds, Eddie baby-"

Eddie snapped to him, face glistening with whatever he was putting onto it, "What, dickweed?"

Richie didn't say a word, just extending his hands forward and opening and closing them into fists. Grabby hands, like a toddler when they wanted to be picked up.

Eddie stared at him -blankly, he tried to keep his lips in a frown but Richie saw them quirk up.

"Are you serious?" Eddie spoke -flatly (or trying to be).

Richie ignored him doing it again, stressing out the words, "You know you wanna, Eddie baby."

Eddie laughed a little then like he couldn't help it -a flush bubbling up his skin. Big brown eyes skimming along Richie (lovingly, if he had to describe it), he tilted his head slightly to the left. Richie felt like he wanted to rip out his heart and give to Eddie. It's his anyway-

Instead of responding, Eddie turned to the sink and scrubbed at his face. Richie watched with a warm kind of smile, watching as he patted his face with a rag (his own packed one, of course). He put it back into his tiny little zipped bag that Richie somehow was cute. Because, of course, he did.

And with a breath, Eddie made his way to the bed -staring at Richie the whole way. It made Richie smile brighter.

Until he stood by the edge of the bed (the left side, naturally), brown eyes heavy on his -Richie wanted to squirm a little because he was just so... seen. Known, really. Had he ever been fucking known? Totally and completely-

Eddie stepped toward the bed, leaning forward slightly. With the gentlest of hands, he cupped Richie's face -all soft fingertips (because of course Eddie's skin was fucking soft). Richie leaned into the warm as much as he physically could, and it made a smile smooth across Eddie's face that made Richie's head spin. He just made him feel so-

Eddie interrupted his thoughts, warm (it made Richie's heart melt a little), "I love you so fucking much."

Richie grinned, brighter than before before turning his head to kiss Eddie's palm once, "I love you too, Eds."

"God," he huffed out (and it made Richie laugh), before gently taking his glasses off his face, "-You can't sleep with your fucking glasses on, dickweed."

With a breath, he turned to put them onto his, not Richie's, side's nightstand (funnily enough). Richie opened up his arms and Eddie climbed into them -unhesitantly. Richie near immediately tugged him into his chest -making Eddie giggle a little and the sound made him physically want to explode. Love, love, love, love-

Eddie turned to face him -brown eyes heavy on him. Richie must've looked a little tired because-

"We should've stopped earlier, huh," Eddie hummed, bring up his hands to trail along his face (Richie's eyes slipped shut because Eddie was Eddie and he loved him and he was touching his face).

"Maybe," Richie echoed out -not bothering to open his eyes (all he could smell was strawberry and it was fucking bliss-).

"Yeah," Eddie hummed again, maybe more passive-aggressive, "-You gonna fucking listen to me next time then?"

Richie laughed, cracking open his eyes -Eddie was close enough that he could see him (mostly), "Yes, dear."

Eddie rolled his eyes, and shoved into him -not far enough to move him anywhere (strangely, Richie didn't think he wanted him to really move at all), "Shut up and go to sleep."

"No pillow talk? No foreplay? Or, wait," Richie paused, "-what's the thing after sex?"

"First off, we didn't have sex. Secondly-" Eddie chimed back -sharply, which was in direct contrast of the way Eddie was looking at him (like he loved him so much he might die, in Richie's opinion), "-it's pillow talk, dumbass. You just said it."

"So, we can't ramble about the end of times?" Richie continued, midway yawning, "-Or the meaning of life? Or how, miraculously, Jennifer Aniston doesn't seem to actually age-"

"Maybe next time, Rich," Eddie hummed -gently, and brushed back some of his hair, "-I think you need to sleep."

"Yeah, okay," Richie breathed out, pulling Eddie impossibly closer to him -nose just above the rich smell of strawberries (he thinks he might be addicted), "-In the morning maybe?"

"Yeah," Eddie spoke, softer than Richie could comprehend then (all twinkly eyes and small little smiles), "-we can talk about it in the morning."

"Love ya, Eds," Richie hummed -low and barely there.

Eddie paused for a second, but Richie did eventually hear him say (in the loose caverns of his tired mind), "I love you too, Rich."

It didn't need to be said that Richie slept really fucking... good that night.

Now, they were stopped at a diner -eating lunch. It was actually pretty classy to be pit-stopping on a road trip, with the whole shiny floor, red accent aesthetic. Richie was crazy into it honestly, and Eddie was okay about it.

Until Richie bought him a milkshake.

Eddie was actually forcing himself to eat his chicken sandwich first. His brown eyes side-eyeing the shake sat to his right, pretty consistently. So much so that it started making Richie laugh a little.

"Eds," Richie interrupted the silence, smiling as he popped a fry into his mouth, "-just drink the milkshake."

Eddie puffed up his cheeks, flustered, "I need to fucking eat my meal first."

"Eddie baby," Richie leveled, grabbing his wrist, "-you can eat them both at the same time. No one's stopping you."

"I am," Eddie snapped back.

"Why?" Richie laughed, "-As a form of personal torture?"

"Well," Eddie paused, maybe realizing that his idea wasn't exactly... founded.

He pressed his lips together, before huffing out a breath -big brown eyes hitching on the milkshake (in a sort of wonder that made Richie just love him more), "Fine, whatever."

Eddie carefully pulled it in front of him and took a sip. His eyes widened like he was a kid trying candy for the first time. As a proper person with a sweet tooth, it was the sweetest option possible: birthday cake.

He took a breath and pushed the shake toward the middle of the table -excitedly, "Rich, try this."

Richie was insanely in love with him. So, he did.

It was almost too sweet for him, actually. Richie, despite the appearance, was really more for savory shit. Or sugar that wasn't really... sweet, if that made any sense. But otherwise, it was pretty good.

"Wow," Richie started nodding, pushing it gently back to Eddie, "-it's good, Eds."

"I know, right?" Eddie grinned, still so excited like a little kid (eyes twinkling with wonder). Richie wanted to scoop him up and never let him go, ever. Die with Eddie in his arms-

"I love you," Richie hummed, warmly.

Eddie blinked, a smile pulling onto his lips, "I love you too."

Richie blew a kiss to him -the obnoxious loud kind. Eddie rolled his eyes, but he was smiling -the affectionate kind that Richie really only saw for him. It was a special one, for him. He kept it right next to his fucking heart-

Bzzt, bzzt.

Richie paused, shooting to his phone -quickly picking it up to check the notification.

Tozier

you've had 3 days with him

if we don't get pictures soon you're a dead man

Richie laughed.

Eddie peeked up then, asking curiously, "Whose that?"

"Bevvy," Richie answered, "-she wants update pictures."

"Shit," Eddie responded, "-we did say we'd do that, didn't we?"

"Yup," Richie hummed, before switching to his camera and aiming it at Eddie, "-Smile, Eds!"

"What the fuck?" Eddie hissed, frown strong on his face, and motioning aggressively with his hands, "-Give me more of a fucking warning, that's not-"

Richie snapped the picture -hand motions, puffed up cheeks and all.

He grinned, and opened up the groupchat, "Perfect."

The picture was in the middle of him talking, eyebrows furrowed with his puffed-up cheeks (which were blooming a pretty pink). Hair slightly messy, and a t-shirt (that was decidedly not his) that had some sort of comic book cover on the front, Richie thought for a second that he might be the love of his life-

Eddie frowned, opening the picture on Instagram, "Asshole."

"What?" Richie asked, smiling, "-You looked cute, Eddie baby."

"Fuck you."

And when he moved to look up at him, Eddie's phone was held up with the perfect angle of Richie (or what he assumed to be).

"You sly motherfucker," Richie laughed out -a shit eating grin swallowing his face.

Eddie smirked, putting down his phone and repeating, "Perfect."

Richie smiled, shaking his head and opening up the chat.

He eyed it for a second.

It was him, obviously, with, surprisingly less-than-normal, messy hair and a peek of his white button-up shirt (which had tiny ketchup bottles scattered in a kind of pattern). But what he was kinda stuck on was the way he was staring. The way he was looking at Eddie.

There was just something in his eyes that he'd never quite seen before. Something fucking... twinkly. Happy. And god, he was so fucking happy. But Eddie? God, Eddie made him so fucking happy-

reddy.bevvy ✔️

e.kaspbrak

Thanks everyone!

And we're about halfway through, Mike.

Richie flashed a grin up at him, and Eddie caught his eye too. They smiled at each other for a few seconds, and if Richie had any less dignity he'd kiss the shit out of him right then and there. But he did have dignity, tragically, so-

"Here's your check," the waiter smiled, "-Hope you guys enjoyed your meal. Any to-go boxes today?"

"Yes, yeah," Richie quickly answered, "-and can I get a to-go cup for his milkshake?"

Eddie interrupted, motioning to his cup, "There's not enough for that, Rich."

Richie eyed it for a second, before deciding, "Can I get a to-go milkshake then? It can be on a separate check if it needs to be-"

"Richie, you don't-"

"Yeah, no, of course," the waiter (he feels like he should've known their name) grabbed the check, "-and I can just update this for you. Everything will be just a second."

"Thank you," Richie chimed, and he turned to Eddie -who was frowning at him.

"You didn't have to do that," Eddie spoke, briskly, "-I already had one."

"Well, I love you and you liked it," Richie shrugged, accepting the to-go boxes handed to him (handing one to Eddie), "-Just accept it, Eds, for me. Because I want you to have it."

Eddie's lips pursed for a moment before he smiled a little, "Okay. Just this once, asshole."

"Agree to disagree, but-" Richie hummed, putting his fries and some of the appetizer into his box, "-thank you for accepting my love, Spaghetti-"

Eddie rolled his eyes, frowning at him in a way that Richie could tell was hiding a smile, "I hate you."

"Do you?" Richie raised an eyebrow, sipping from his cup and grinning.

Eddie pressed his lips into a thin line, and letting out a frustrated sigh, "No."

Richie laughed -head tilted back and eyes squeezed shut. Racking through his lungs, he felt happy tears in his eyes because fuck, he loves Eddie Kaspbrak. So, so much.

Eddie started laughing too, "You're such a dickhead-"

And in a separate groupchat, a conversation went entirely unnoticed.

big.bill ✔️

Where did they go?

reddy.bevvy ✔️

probably making out

stan.the.man ✔️

Ew.

reddy.bevvy ✔️

you're literally married ???

stan.the.man ✔️

Yeah, but they're in public.

benny.boy.official ✔️

I don't think Eddie would let Richie kiss him in public

mike.me.up ✔️

I dunno they're batshit crazy for each other

stan.the.man ✔️

We all know Eddie's all talk.

He probably actually kisses Richie more than the other way around.

reddy.bevvy ✔️

can confirm

I talk to Eddie regularly and he wanted to jump him before even meeting up

and now he can so

it is entirely possible

mike.me.up ✔️

they could have some class and be like in the bathroom or something

stan.the.man ✔️

Do you know Eddie at all?

big.bill ✔️

Yeah, you've known him way longer than me, and even I know that he wouldn't use it if he had to.

And to kiss in there? Yeah, no way.

benny.boy.official ✔️

where else though ?

reddy.bevvy ✔️

probably the car

stan.the.man ✔️

Ew. Again.

big.bill ✔️

Not all of us can be classy, Stan.

Sometimes making out in the car is just the cards you're dealt.

benny.boy.official ✔️
