Mike Hanlon is ten years old when he brings his first friend home, and William Hanlon, for all the trust he has in his son, can’t help but watch them through the slits of his kitchen blinds while exchanging curious looks with his wife.
Curious, for one, because it’s not just one friend; it’s six. Curious, for another, because of the strange way they move around each other—orbital and all knowing, like they’d been doing it for years before, and would do it for years to come.
It scares Will, quite frankly, and he guesses that fear shows on his face when Mike comes in for dinner that night, because he fixes him with a suspicious squint and says: “What, you don’t like my friends, daddy?”
Will manages a small chuckle and puts a hand on Mike’s shoulder, bending down to press a kiss to his head.
“They seem just fine to me, Mikey.”
And they do. They are loyal and kind—if a little loud—and unconditionally present in Mike’s life, until he turns fourteen.
And when Mike turns fourteen, his friends start moving away. Starting with Beverly Marsh, the girl with red hair and scraped up knees, who always tucks her dirty sneakers up by the front door and greets Will with a smile. Stanley Uris doesn’t leave for another year after that, but Ben Hanscom follows closely behind, and then it seems to happen all at once.
And none of them are easy—but none seem to hit Mike quite as hard as Bill Denbrough.
He is sixteen and comes home that day nothing short of inconsolable. And Will... doesn’t need to ask.
See, he can’t be sure, but he can guess, between the closed doors, the divided time, the proximity in which the stand, and the intensity in which they stand, that Mike loves Bill no more than any of the others, but perhaps differently—different, in a way he has an even harder time letting go of.
This is one of the few times in Will’s life that he feels hopelessly and inadequately like just Mike’s father, where all he can do is wrap his arms around his son and hold him until he tires himself out with the crying and falls asleep.
Because what he can be sure of is that the fear he had—the fear he once thought was other-worldly and ominous and certain for death—was only for moments like this; a quiet-again house, and a hurting son.

✨Pink in the night by mitski for reddie
It makes me think about a young Richie struggling with his feelings for Eddie and remembering everything after derry including how they shared a kiss before Eddie left town
He’s got so many emotions! It’s okay Rich just give it a few years… Well, maybe a little longer than just a few.
Such a good song tho!! You’re so right aaaaaaaa!!

there’s something that’s incredible about the intersectionality and flexibility of werewolves as metaphor.
anger issues? werewolf. intrusive thoughts? werewolf. unresolved trauma? werewolf. rejection by society? werewolf. autism? werewolf. transgenderism? werewolf. queer expression of any sort? werewolf. plurality? werewolf. dissociation? werewolf. repression of any sort? werewolf. abuse cycles? werewolf. emotion so strong it physically changes you? werewolf!!!
really doing it all

Ben Hanscom literally wrote that poem for Beverly knowing that she would think it was from someone else but not caring because if she thought/hoped it was from someone else it would still make her happy and that’s all he wanted I’m really gonna lose it
