I just remembered that cardinals symbolize people who died coming back to visit you
EDDIE AND STANLEY????
I love cardinals
I love cardinals
can we walk about how richie was bullied so hard for so many things including his appearance and sexuality, and he struggled with those things years and years into his adulthood. he grew up and never got married and even got a nose job and ditched his glasses for contacts. he grew up in a homophobic town while secretly being in love with his best friend, and then when he goes back to said homophobic town he revisits his past where he was called slurs and ridiculed for being gay, then pennywise proceeded to taunt him about his sexuality even more. we also dont talk enough about richies obvious anxiety, he literally vomits often because of it. then richie watches his life long crush get stabbed in front of him and then holds him in his arms as he bleeds out, and he is forced to leave his body in the place that brought them life ruining terror. he goes back to the kissing bridge to recarve their names to immortalize Eddie. Ben and Bev get to be happy together, Bill and Audra get to be happy together, Mike gets to leave Derry for a better life. Richie gets no happy ending, they all of course have life long trauma, but still have happy endings. Richie will never recover from this like the others might, Richie has no saving grace.
Thank god I exist the same time as AO3

hi guys
we don’t talk about that part of the book..
lowk trauma
Dead fandom this, dead fandom that
I stil interact and am apart of the fandom based on a fucking crazy ass book from the 80’s that a guy wrote so fucking high on crack cocaine that there’s a part of the book everyone collectively ignores and pretends doesn’t exists.
This totally happened!!
and then he stood up and walked out all by himself! can you believe??
