I think sometimes we need to remember a books context
#this is about Stephen king#yes the author was high as shit on cocaine#which is probably why he wrote such horrific scenes#but also#a lot of women were stay at home wives even in the 80s#so yeah jacks wife didn’t leave him when he broke their sons arm#because leaving an abusive relationship is hard enough today#let alone in the 80s as a woman with no support or financial independence#you’re a teen in the 70s and your parents beat the shit out of you and you want out but you’re ugly and awkward and you find a car#and it’s ugly too but you can fix it up and you can see it now#so yeah you buy it and defend your decision against your friend#because you need some freedom#and some joy#the shining#christine#Stephen king#stephen king writes about human pride and error okay#honestly a lot of Stephen king stories are about someone in a rough headspace being taken advantage of#Jack was an alcoholic who was struggling to be a better person and the sprit of the hotel knew that#the boy in Christine and Carrie were both ugly and awkward teenagers needing a way out amd the evil gave them that#they guy in pet semetary had just suffered a horrific loss of his child and knew that there was a way to resurrect him#and he was being verbally abused by his in laws at his sons funeral prior#people in desperate places take desperate measures

nobody is more delusional than reddie fans. somehow, the ENTIRE fandom decided that eddie kaspbrak is alive and well, despite the fact that his death was written in the novel almost 40 years ago, and i hardly ever see reddie content/it content awknoleging that eddie is dead. we all just pretend that never happened.
#it#it stephen king#it 2017#it 2019#reddie#eddie kaspbrak#richie tozier#eddie kaspbrak is one of my favorite characters ever tho so i get it#i never talk about it on here even though i love it#i’m gonna reread the book even though its over 1150 pages long#stephen king

And if i told you one of my favorite characters from It, specifically the 2019 sequel where we saw her for .2 seconds pulling Richies annoying ass down, was Maggie Tozier would you believe me
#i have SOOO many notes on her its actually insane#idk if i should call this an au because i see her completely differently than from her book version#if the movies allowed to take creative liberties i am too!!!#i always imagined her the best mom out of all the losers parents#not inherently great or perfect but yknow#the bar is in the sewers#she and richie have a very Linda and Gene like relationship#i have so much to write about her but i dont want to spam the tags😭#it#it 2017#richie tozier#it stephen king#maggie tozier#my art#ignore my awful handwriting alr

Horror books that genuinely scared me (from a lifelong horror reader that’s so so rare):
1) The Outsider by Stephen King - made me paranoid as fuck at night, had to hide the dust jacket
2) Straight by @drchucktingle - I had fucked up nightmares about this book, I couldn’t look my cis straight roommates in the eyes for days
3) Everything the Darkness Eats by Eric LaRocca - I’m a queer with religious trauma, I had a full existential crisis after reading this
Did these books affect me psychologically? Yeah probably. Are they also in my top fav of all time? Yup😊. Would I recommend them to everyone? Fuck yeah I would! Go read these and prove love is real (that is a threat💕)!
#notice how all of the books feature prominent neurodivergent and/or queer characters#I’m sure it’s a coincidence#it says nothing about me#buckaroo lifestyle#love is real#proud buckaroo#stephen king#chuck tingle#eric larocca#bookblr#book blog#reading#bookish#booktok#books and reading#books#goodreads#book club#book review#horror#horror books#queer horror#tingleverse#book reccs#queer book recs#book recommendations

AU concept: Remus King is a best-selling but reclusive horror novelist. His twin brother Roman is a struggling actor. When Remus' publisher pressures him to make public appearances to promote his newest book, despite his insistence that he wants to stay out of the public eye, they hatch a scheme. Roman will pose as his brother for all book signings, public speaking appearances, and various other events, and will be paid Remus' fee for those appearances, plus a little extra. Roman doesn't particularly want to pretend to be his brother, but he hasn't had a real acting job in months and a man's gotta eat. Besides, he's known Remus their entire lives, he could play the part in his sleep. What could possibly go wrong?
(Spoiler alert: a lot.)
Virgil Rayne is Remus King's biggest fan, who comes to a signing, over the moon to finally meet the man behind his favorite stories. Only to have a panic attack in line and be forced to leave before he can meet his hero. Or so he thinks. Because while hiding in the bathroom trying to calm down, who should walk in but the author himself, who proceeds to be surprisingly good at talking Virgil down. Once Virgil calms down, it feels kind of awkward to ask for an autograph, but thankfully Remus offers before he can ask.
Remus even scribbles his number in the book next to his very poetic message to Virgil.
It takes Virgil a few days to get over his anxiety and text, but he ultimately does because how could he pass up the opportunity to be friends with his favorite author?? So they start texting. A lot. And who knew Remus loved Disney movies? Or did theatre in high school? Or sings Taylor Swift in the shower? Or makes silly puns that Virgil can't help but laugh at? Or has a soft, dreamy, romantic side? Remus King is nothing like Virgil imagined he would be, but it doesn’t matter because before he knows it, Virgil has fallen hard. And sometimes it kinda seems like the feeling is mutual? Remus is certainly flirty, but it's hard to tell if that actually means anything.
And, oh God, Roman is so, so, so fucked. Because Virgil has pretty purple hair and dark mysterious eyes and a cute laugh, and short circuited his brain so much when they first met that he didn’t even think before writing his number down. Roman is now totally head over heels for Virgil Rayne.
Virgil, who thinks he’s his brother.
(Remus is laughing his ass off at this whole sorry situation)
#Sanders Sides#Roman Sanders#Remus Sanders#Virgil Sanders#prinxiety#creativitwins#fic ideas#their last name is King bc. y'know. Stephen King.#you get it#Roman probably screws it up by accidentally saying he doesn't like horror#to which Virgil is perplexed: but...you are a horror author?#Roman: ah. well. about that.#it's almost 1 AM but I quite like this idea....it's giving Cyrano vibes

you’ve heard of pre-reunion losers meeting by coincidence, now get ready for pre-reunion losers just missing meetings by coincidence. eddie getting bored and turning off a televised broadcast of a tv awards ceremony seconds before richie is announced best actor in a comedy for his new sitcom. mike visiting a book shop out of town, completely unaware that bill’s newest novel had been shipped in and sold out since his last visit. ben checking into a resort hotel hours after bev and tom check out. do you understand
#yeah i had this thought whilst watching the baftas. and what of it#everything on tv is about the losers if you’re brainrotted enough#the losers club#stephen king#it 2017#it 2019#it 1986#it 1990#🎪 my thoughts 🎪
