The Losers Club Plays Monopoly (Mike Hanlon is blamed for ensuing disaster)
The Losers only played Monopoly one time. One time was all it took for it to get banned.
Poor poor Mike suggested they play it and has since had all the blame put on him for the disaster. Mike just thought it would be fun.
It started off well enough with everyone getting used to the rules
The first sign of trouble was when Richie kept buying everything he landed on despite the fact that it never made sense
Eddie had an actual plan that has to get thrown out because Richie just took two of the red tiles that shit head
Stan is 100% winning because he actually knows how to play monopoly around Richie’s stupid choices
meanwhile in the corner, Bill is still trying to get out of jail and he has been in there since round 3
Mike is the person who is making a mini city with his house pieces while he waits for his turn which takes a while because Eddie argues with Richie every turn
Bev is secretly stealing 100s from the bank whenever people aren’t looking
Ben is suppose to be in charge of the bank since he isn’t playing but he is too distracted trying to keep the board from getting flipped
Richie has now acquired every rail road square because Bev has been slipping him 5s from the bank
And some how Eddie is actually technically beating Richie but for some reason is still mad about the rail roads
Mike and Stan have started a silent staring contest as they both have realized they are tied for first
Bill has been freed from jail
Bill was immediately sent back to jail. he is resorting to trying to bribe people into letting him go
Eddie finally lands on one of Richie's tiles and is forced to pay him 20 dollars and this resorts in a fist fight
Stan is the one to flip the board though because Mike buys the property he wanted
Ben throws away the game and swears to destroy every copy of it

Librarygate addition from the time-unrelated side
Richie's joking. But I'm not.
We know that the Duffers are huge Stephen King fans.
There are three significant library arcs in Stephen King's works which I can remember (add if you can, please): the novella "The Library Policeman" (1990, one of the FOUR HOUR STRIKES (the third) in "FOUR past midnight" collection); and two belong to "It": Mike Hanlon was a librarian, but also Ben Hanscom has a big arc with the Derry Library.
I will start with Ben (he is a part of our love triangle parallel after all). Ben's ties to the Derry Library are shown both in miniseries and in recent movies, but to know the full story you of course need to read the book. I've read it two times and the last one was about 15 years ago, so forgive me for any wrong memories (pun intended).
1.. Ben loved the Derry Library. Not only because he was lonely and it was a place he could spend time. He liked to learn, he had good relationship with the librarian. But most of all he liked the bridge part between the two library buildings (idk how to call it in English, that part joins the children library and the grown'ups one with well-lit warm hall with glass sides and roof, probably?). When Ben grew up, he built a building based on that hall and got an architect award for it. He liked the hall because you could use it to go from one library to another even in the winter and be warm and dry and look at all the cold and snow outside. It is probably a metaphor for that tween period of life King loves so much that most of his kid characters end up being eaten by monsters about 11-12.
Ben had bad things happen to him there as well. I don't really remember the accident with the boy and easter eggs in the book, but Ben was really scared of that photograph and the story of Kitcheners' blow up and killing a hundred of kids. Also when he was staying late helping the librarian one winter night, he saw Pennywise on the ice when Ben was crossing the river by the bridge. Yeah, that same bridge Adrian Mellon was thrown from years after Ben's encounter.
But also Ben wrote that poem about Beverly's hair in the library :)
2.. Mike Hanlon. Mike was a fellow loser to Ben. He was interested in Derry history as a kid and figured out that awful things happen in Derry every 27 years for centuries. He grew up and became a librarian in Derry Library. He was the one with his memories intact and called all the Losers when It came back 27 years later.
3.. Library Policeman. It is a hard story. I've read it when I was a kid myself, maybe 12, 13? Years later I remembered the chill and re-read it. It was still years from now so yeah, I'll do what I can with Wikipedia not helping much.
The protagonist of the novella is Sam. When Sam was a child, he was r*ped in the bushes outside of his hometown library by a man who called himself the Library Policeman who punish children who don't return their books on time. At another place, where grown-up Sam lives, he needs some books from the local library for the first time since his childhood. He accidentaly destroys the books after he uses them and then supernatural stuff start to happen. The entity calling itself the Library Policeman is terrorizing him, and the old librarian who gave him the books is long dead. That woman was not human. It is a monster who is feeding on childrens' fear.
Sam, his friend with whom he falls in love with, and a former lover of the librarian are on the mission to defeat the monster, who wants a NEW HOST to attach itself to, like a parasite. The former lover DIES while helping Sam and his friend, the monster manages to attach itself to the friend's neck and Sam saves her by pulling it off of HER NECK and throwing it under the wheels of upcoming train where it is smashed out of existence. It is a heartbreaking moment: he makes her to look forward and recite a poem or count, I don't remember, while standing behind her he lifts her hair and sees this thing on her neck (which causes some personality changes in her or just a headache I don't remember sorry), and he takes it off when the train is almost there and throws... This monster was compared to a spider too (the flesh form of It was a spider). I like the idea that it is a soteria in Will's neck, but I'm afraid it can be a part of the Mind Flayer.
So we have Hopper and Joyce go into the Upside Down through the Lab gate to find Will. S01 was heavily influenced by Alien and the Duffers don't just do an homage, they use easter eggs and parallels in the plot.
The first thing Hopper finds in the UD (the first thing Ben Hanscom had found in the sewers… was an orange Pennywise pom-pom when he was a child and red Audra Denbrough's purse as an adult) is a busted-out-of egg which is of course an egg a facehugger is grown in.
Who was born from that egg in the Stranger Things is unclear. Could be a demogorgon. Dragons lay eggs btw.
Then Joyce and Hopper inspect the Castle Byers remnants, go to Byers' house where amazed Jonathan recognizes his mother in the lights and Joyce hear him calling her gently. It is irrelevant here but fascinating. Then they follow the trace of blood into the Hawkins Public Library.
There is some kind of lair. It is similar to both the egg lair in the Alien and in the Aliens.
The difference is that in Aliens Momma is still around. Also we have cocooned corpses in the Aliens too:
Stranger things s01e08:
It's all of course from the Aliens and It: Hopper and Joyce parallel the couple from Aliens who found the ship with the eggs, the death of the father points to Hopper's future death.
Joyce finds Will like Ripley finds Newt in the lair, cocooned:
Bill Denbrough finds his wife Audra in the lair, cocooned.
But whose lair is it?!
Vecna had his lair in his old house, where he was being charged in a dock like an electronic toy...
Flesh form of It (the Spider) layed eggs in its lair which Losers destroyed (sadly, not on screen in both the miniseries and the movies) by stepping on them.
Alien Queen layed eggs in its lair which Ripley destroyed (by fire!)
Who lays those eggs (we saw one) in the UD? Whose lair is in the library???
And just what else I have on the place: Will was FOUND in the library on Nov 12th, but the sign says (Vote here) Nov. 6th when he was taken walked willingly disappeared. So can library be a part of his dissapearance too? Or even in the first place.
Dragons steal princesses and keep them in their lairs too...
King's prototype of It was a troll from a fairytale, who lives under the bridge and eats children. Do trolls eat princesses? I'm not that familiar with foreign folklore...
And the last but not least:
Team Tigers vs team Falcons:
(the shots of the library with pigeons and then pigeons were followed by shots of Joyce in her car arriving at Melvalds s01e02)
Many noticed the stalker shots and Vecna's parallels to birds.
Birds were absolutely the spies in the Duma Key by Stephen King.

my notes on week one :)
i luv these first three chapters: the first two set up our dual timelines while the third sets up our main characters & their fears and personalities.
after the flood is a great opening scene to establish setting and our monster. one of my favorite details abt this chapter is how it change’s it’s appearance to mimic georgie’s mother and bill to manipulate him. i also like how georgie is the first one to call pennywise ‘it,’ not because he knew about the clown but because pennywise is the same kind of monster you imagine under your bed or in your closet as a child, the one that constantly lurks, hungry.
i also like this section because it’s our first example of the child vs adult mindset that ends up being so crucial to the end of the story— adults worry about murderers and communists because those are so obviously real, while children still have the imagination and fear of being eaten alive by the thing in the basement.
after the festival is so interesting because it shows how derry, what it is, and how the people there feel about it.
resignation vs disgust. these cops have lived in derry all their lives but they’re still shocked when hagarty exclaims what they all know to be true. it’s less turning a blind eye and more willingly accepting it, because this is how it is and this is how it will always be. this blasé attitude is also shown in this earlier excerpt:
this is how it is. ignore the worst of it because this is just how it is. and many of those ‘gory old things’ have living witnesses; mike hanlon will later interview men who were involved in the bradley gang shootout. none of this is ancient history, it happened to your parents and grandparents. but that’s just how it is here (also love how this small section sets up mike’s historic knowledge!)
after the flood was based on the true murder of charlie howard in bangor, maine in 1984.
next we get six phone calls, our introduction to our seven lucky characters. some things i found interesting about each section:
stan knew that this was going to happen, he remembered more than everyone other than mike, and it seems he knew what he was going to do.
neil young reference from the epigraph that i love. out of the blue and into the black. i also like how stan’s character is defined by his reliance on reality; when something doesn’t compute he can’t handle it, and he is no longer a child who could accept and move past the horror. his death is so important to me because the whole chapter sets him up as a successful, logical, and loving man. he’s good at his job, he’s thinking about the future, he really cares about his wife. this man would not kill himself… and then he does. this is the terror we’re facing, the kind that destroys the rational mind (georgie’s sanity was similarly destroyed in ‘one clawing stroke).
i also like this foreshadowing:
stan’s scene is followed by richie’s.
sorry always have to post the richie thesis statement. he’s so wrapped up in his voices (he even uses one when talking to mike on the phone) that’s it’s obvious they’re a manifestation of his own self-hate. i also like how deeply scared he is while looking into his safe, realizing how easy it is to destroy a life— one match, or one lighter, and you’re done. another notable thing is that rather than first remembering his friends or even pennywise richie remembers the bullying he experienced; he felt hated enough that he hated himself too, and still does despite the success he’s achieved as a radio host. his music collection and knowledge is expanse, and he mentions always having something playing— in fact one of the first things he does after the phone call is throw a record on and turn it up— and to me that’s a person who can’t stand a moment alone in his head.
guys i think we’re going out of the blue and into the black
#bitclub2024#week one#analysis#discussion post will be out tomorrow! just wanted to put my stuff out here first so i can link it there :)#mike hanlon#bill denbrough#ben hanscom#beverly marsh#richie tozier#eddie kaspbrak#stanley uris#audra phillips#tom rogan

One line any fic! Rules: pick ten of your fics, scroll to somewhere midpoint, pick a line chunk and share it, and then tag ten people.
I was tagged by @glorious-spoon and I am a Reddie slut through and through so that's what y'all are getting (with one or two exceptions)! I picked slightly at random as far as fics, so I hope you enjoy!
Some of these are vaguely NSFW, so be awareeeeee!
now let me at the truth (IT: Richie/Eddie)
“The man stabbed you first, so sounds to me like you did good there,” her hands shake but her voice is steady and light. “And Rich’ll be back. He wouldn’t leave us.” She nods, as if trying to convince herself, too.
“You’d know, you’re his best friend,” Eddie says, hissing at the shock of pain as Bev applies the cream. Bev scoffs and lightens her touch.
“You’re kidding, right?” She gets the needle ready and takes a breath, all with a smile. Eddie thinks perhaps he abandoned his signature anger too soon.
“Hmm?” he asks, the pain of speaking getting to be too much. Bev puts her hands up, a passive warning that the needle is coming. Eddie closes his eyes.
“You’re Richie’s best friend, Eddie,” she says, sticking the needle into the skin of his cheek. Tears sting at the corner of Eddie’s eyes and he grips the bedspread tightly. “You don’t see the way he looks at you?”
2. High On You (IT: Richie/Eddie)
“We can take it down a notch, if you need. Want you to live the stoned night of your dreams, Eds.”
Eddie snorts, climbing onto the bed, lube in hand.
“Oh, don’t think you’re getting out of it that easy, Tozier.” He pours some on his hands, afraid the thick feel of Richie’s fingers could set him off.
“Your idea of easy almost killed me. You just put a plug in me after eating me out for an eternity. I’m still not sure how I haven’t blacked out.”
3. the night we met (take me back) (IT: Richie/Eddie)
“Y’okay, bud?” he says, and Eddie blinks once, giving his head a shake. Richie feels gradual breathing stretch out Eddie’s lungs, ribs expanding under his hand.
“Yeah, just,” Eddie clears his throat, gesturing to the room where all the Losers are meandering about, “overwhelming at first. When we’re all together.” Richie nods, patting gently at his back.
“Indeed, my good sir, these fellows are a lot—”
“Please don’t do the British one.”
“—but they’re some of the finest— ow!” Richie stops, hissing in pain when Eddie smacks his knee, hard.
“Stop it,” Eddie says, eyeing him. “Don’t pretend like you’re not also freaking out.” Richie fidgets in his seat.
4. Suddenly You're Mine (IT: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon)
The way Bill listens when Mike talks is so intent it’s like a warm hand holding tight around his heart. All Mike can offer back is a comforting hand on Bill’s shoulder while he talks right back.
“I never stuck around in any place long enough to make friends,” Bill says, fidgeting fingers around a cooling cup of tea. Mike palms at his knee, bony and bare, peeking out from the blanket covering the both of them in bed. “Developed the stutter when we moved to Germany. It still pops up sometimes, even though my parents spent a fortune on speech therapy.”
Mike shrugs. “I think it’s kinda cute.”
“Oh my god.” Bill sprawls onto his back. It feels like an invitation, so Mike crawls over him.
5. Lumber Jack Me Off (IT: Eddie/Richie)
He smooths fingers through the hair Richie’s arms and his face and it gets in Eddie’s mouth when they slide their tongues together and when they break apart to breath he reaches up to pull at the gorgeous gathering of it on Richie’s chest. It’s overwhelming and fucking sexy.
Richie is a good kisser, but when his hands drag a path down Eddie’s own t-shirt to arrive at his belt, Eddie freezes.
“I don’t have to,” Richie says, kindly, and that makes Eddie want it even more. Who the fuck is he? Is this what Bev meant when she said he might surprise himself? Because this is definitely surprising.
Eddie nods.
6. your beauty must be rubbing off (IT: Richie/Eddie/Ben)
"Can I throw something out there?” he asks. Ben and Eddie both grunt encouragingly. “Could we- could we make sure this doesn’t, like, fuck anything up?”
Eddie hand quickly finds his other thigh.
“Of course not, Richie,” Eddie says. Ben hums.
“Yeah, man, we’ll always be friends. And if it gets too weird, or if it starts too weird, we can always stop.”
“Yeah,” Eddie says, fiercely. Richie kind of wants to cry. Classic mood-killer. He breathes through it and focuses on the feel of warm palms holding at his legs.
7. The One With the Prom Video (IT: Richie/Eddie)
“I don’t have a ticket, dad,” young Richie says. Went blows air through his teeth.
“Eddie’s got two tickets, who cares who uses them? He paid for them, right?”
Maggie laughs from behind the camera. “Always the opportunist.”
Everyone back in Bev and Ben’s living room are silently glancing around, clearly confused, but not wanting to alert Richie in the box. Eddie feels frozen. The young version of himself, if he remembers correctly, is still rocking back and forth in that chair, totally clueless that the boy he’s crushed on for, realistically, and unknowingly, years, is actually thinking about white-horsing it in a dusty old suit and saving the night.
8. Can't We Just Talk? (IT Miniseries: Richie/Eddie)
“That was much more pleasant than you made it out to be,” Eddie tells him as they climb into the car, and Richie stops to stare at the roof of his convertible.
“Damn that last glass of wine or I’d have us feeling the wind in our hair the whole way home.”
Eddie groans. “I can’t decide if that would be lovely or completely disastrous.”
“Ah, my favorite spot: the gray area,” Richie snorts, nixing it to swing back into the car alongside Eddie. “But unless you’ve got a whole can of something in that gorgeous mop, it’d probably tend toward the latter.” He reaches out to tousle the hair in question, and it gives easily. Eddie does, too, swaying with the touch.
9. Whipping It Out (IT: Richie/Eddie)
“Listen, Eddie,” Richie says, sitting up in his seat, “I’m really sorry I… I threw that on you, man. We can wait til we get back to your place to talk. I just didn’t expect the waterfall of dick pics, alright?”
“I’m into you too,” Eddie says, matter-of-factly. “I was going to tell you on this trip.” He looks down at the crumpled picture of his cock shoved between his seat and the console. “I didn’t plan the waterfall.”
Richie starts to smile, and Eddie wants to touch him so badly his fingers twitch.
“If this is your seduction technique, you should really try better quality pictures,” Richie says, twisting a picture to the side and squinting.
Eddie scoffs. “It worked.”
10. Praise For the Morning (Our Flag Means Death: Edward Teach | Blackbeard/Stede Bonnet)
Stede breaks off to strip them both of their clothes, his fingers nimble and quick, skilled and spreading apart fabric like he’s on a mission. Ed is breathless in the face of it, letting himself be led and liking it. He’s already hard before he’s fully naked, and then Stede is toppling them both onto the couch, the luxurious glide of their skin breaking a moan from each of them.
“You’re amazing,” Stede growls into his neck, kissing, biting, writhing their hips together until he beckons another shaking whine from Ed. He insinuates himself fully between Ed’s legs, and Ed takes the opportunity to wrap his legs around Stede’s middle, feeling like a blushing maiden but hardly caring. Stede’s kisses are all-encompassing. Stede’s touch is blisteringly hot. Fingers and thumbs and palms slide and push and press and they rock, pricks dripping onto their stomachs until Stede jolts up and fists both of them in his hand. “So hard,” he mumbles, as if he doesn’t know he’s saying it.
I'm tagging anyone who wants to do it, and @tthael, @tinyarmedtrex, @stitchyarts, @pineapplecrushface and @skeilig!!

These 7 fucking 12 year old idiot loser faces snuck their way into my heart and dug a hole in it and that’s where they will reside for the rest of time. I hate these stupid losers that take over my thoughts everday, I can’t do one stupid thing without thinking about them.
I hate stupid Beverly Marsh and her personality as fiery as her hair, her wonderful sense of fashion and her take no shits attitude. I hate how she always puts her best foot forward and keeps her head up high. I hate how charismatic she is. I hate how she doesn’t realize that the guy made for her has always been right in front of her:
I hate stupid Stanley Uris with his unusually peculiar personality, I hate how fucking relatable he is. I hate how logical he is and his curly hair. I hate how smart he is. I hate how he cares so much that he doesnt care. I hate his need for everything to be perfect and even.
I hate stupid Ben Hanscom and his love for Beverly Marsh. I hate the way he wrote a poem so lovely for her. I hate the way he thinks he doesn’t need any friends to be happy. I hate how sweet and caring he is. I hate his strength in architecture and design. I hate how vulnerable he truly is.
I hate stupid Mike Hanlon and his stunning loyalness. I hate how he stayed behind for the losers to make sure they finished what they started. I hate how good of a person he is to anyone and everyone. I hate how he fought to make a change in Derry. I hate how he made sure his parents got the ending they deserved, even though most people wouldn’t care.
I hate stupid Bill Denbrough and his stutter. I hate his admirable leadership and and even more admirable personality. I hate his determination and bravery even when times are rough. I hate how obsessed he can get with one specific topic. I hate how good his art is and how devoted he is to getting what he wants. I hate his charming smile and warm soul.
I hate stupid Richie Tozier and his awful impressions. I hate how he can light up a room by just a sentence. I hate the way his glasses make his eyes look bigger than they are, and the way he pushes them up when they start to fall down his face. I hate how much he is in fucking LOVE with this dork named Eddie Kaspbrak.
Most of all, I hate stupid Eddie Kaspbrak. I hate the way he worries about germs more than anyone humanly possible. I hate the way he’s so annoyingly hilarious and the way he always makes me laugh. I hate how relatable he is as a person. I hate how he’s so oblivious and living in his own little world 24/7. I hate how secretly brave he is and how openly scared he is. I hate his stupid little shorts and his stupid Fannypack and his stupid inhaler that he doesn’t even need and his stupid polo shirts and his stupid watch that goes off everytime he needs to take his meds. I hate how he thinks he has asthma, but really it’s just anxiety creeping around. I hate his dumb smile and his cast that has “loser” with a red “V” drawn over the “S” on it. I hate how fast he talks and his hand motions.
If you haven’t gotten the message by now, I don’t hate these things at all. I admire them, I love them. You don’t understand how much this stuff means to me. I don’t know man, I just had to rant about this. They’ve been eating my heart (cannibal by Kesha much)
I’m honestly just ranting and this took me like 30 minutes but like ughhhh ugh hughguhfhdy I can’t get them out of my head istg they haven’t left in forever

Damien Rush (bgeast.com, muscledominationwrestling.com, wrestler4hire.com, movimuswrestling.com)
In every Rom-Com there's always a hot guy/girl who is purposefully written as a "goof ball" or given clumsy flaws. For a large part of my life I was naïve about all of this and I only recently discovered that this "goofiness" was written into the character to make them more relatable to audiences. Regardless of all that, I always associated dorkiness with hotness.
If I were to cast a wrestling performer to play this character in a Rom-Com, I'd definitely think of Damien Rush. Smoking hot, hairy, and although he doesn't always play the "good" guy - his action always seemed to have an added goofiness to it that I associated with dorky hot.
Damien Rush (bgeast.com, muscledominationwrestling.com, wrestler4hire.com, movimuswrestling.com)
I first saw Damien on Bgeast wrestling with frequent collaborator Morgan Cruise. All I can say is Wow, that was some way to introduce a wrestler! Damien, sporting a skinnier but sexy body, is manhandled good by Morgan. "Manhandled by Morgan" should be trademarked by the way.
Damien is a busy boy and I'll find the time to watch his other matches when I get a hankering for some hunky wrestling Rom-com leading man.

This is for @dingustozier who requested a story for Stanley to have a nice day. I hope you enjoy the story!
A year had passed since the Losers' Club faced their second harrowing battle with Pennywise the Dancing Clown. To celebrate their reunion, Stanley was the one who suggested that they meet up. Though they lived in different parts of the U.S., nobody hesitated with Stan’s idea. Immediately they suggested ideas about where and when to meet.
The day was warm and sunny, and the Losers decided to gather at Mike Hanlon's new farmhouse once he settled down in Florida. As they arrived one by one, they greeted each other with warm hugs and smiles, grateful to see that they were all still alive and well, Eddie and Stanley especially for that matter.
Eddie’s wound was all healed up and he recently got his stitches out. Thanks to the physical therapy he didn’t need the use of a cane anymore. Stanley’s wrists would always have scars... Thinking about his heroic and inexcusable act made him cringe.
As they settled into the farmhouse, eating the delicious dinner Mike made for them and drinking beers, they shared stories of their lives over the past few months. A lot had changed in the losers’ lives for the better. They marveled at how they had all grown up and succeeded in their respective fields, despite the trauma they had faced.
As the Losers settled around the table in Mike's farmhouse, Beverly raised her glass and said, "To us, the Losers' Club.”
"To the Losers!" they all echoed, clinking their beer glasses together. It had been a year since they defeated the demonic clown and were all reunited after 20+ years apart. Stanley smiled, happily sitting with his wife Patty, appreciating that the Losers wanted him to come to their reunion. After all... he tried to off himself at the mere thought it would get him out of rejoining the battle with Pennywise.
Richie turned to Beverly and asked, "So, Bev, when are we going to see your latest designs on the runways of Paris?"
Beverly blushed, grateful for the distraction, "Oh, come on, Richie. They're not that good. But who knows, maybe someday. For now, I'm just happy to be with all of you." She intertwined her hand with Ben’s who stared adoringly at her.
Eddie, pretending to be serious, said, "Well, since we're all showing off our talents, I brought my medical bag just in case someone here manages to injure themselves while raising a glass." Eddie quit his awful boring job as a risk analyst to pursue a dream that he always wanted. Regardless, it was going to take a long time, but Eddie was determined.
Richie joked, "Oh yeah, Doctor Kaspbrak to the rescue! Someone should get hurt just for the fun of it." He kissed his cheek.
Stanley rolled his eyes, "Please, Richie, not even you can make injuries fun."
“Hmm, are you imposing a little game, Stan-the-man?”
“What are you talking about, Richie?”
“Should I make a comedy routine out of injuries? You attacked my intellect all the time. That counts as an injury, right? Patty, can I get your insight?”
Patty laughed at all the nonsense as Stanley rolled his eyes. Still, it was going to return to the memories. He missed this.
As the evening progressed, they shared more stories about their lives and experiences. They talked about their families, their careers, and the new friendships they had built since moving away from Derry.
Eventually, the conversation turned back to their encounter with Pennywise. Stanley hesitated, unsure if he wanted to delve into those memories. But he took a deep breath and said, "You know, that night… I was so scared. I felt like I couldn't handle it like I wanted to run away and never come back."
He sunk his head into his hands, letting the tears fall. “You guys, I’m so sorry for what I did! I’ll never forgive myself. It was so stupid! I should have just returned and fought that damn clown with you!”
Bill put a reassuring hand on Stanley's shoulder, "Stan, don’t beat yourself up about it. We’re all here now. That's what matters."
"Yeah," Richie added, "I mean, sure, I cracked some jokes to hide how scared I was, but you guys were my anchor. I couldn't have done it without you."
Stanley looked around at his friends, their faces filled with understanding and compassion, and felt a weight lift off his shoulders. "Thank you, all of you," he said softly. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
Mike reached across the table and squeezed Stanley's hand, "You'll never have to find out. We're in this together, forever."
And in that moment, as the Losers raised their glasses once again, they knew that no matter what life threw at them, they had each other.
When it was time to say goodbye, they hugged tightly, promising to stay in touch and meet up again soon. It was a bittersweet moment, wishing they could live closer to each other.
“That was fun, Stanley. You have great friends. Beverly and I are going to stay in touch. It’s like we’ve always known each other,” Patty remarked as they drove home.
Stanley smiled, the happiest he’s felt for some time. “That’s what being a Loser is about. I don’t know where I’d be without them.”
As Stanley Uris made his way home, he felt a sense of peace that he hadn't felt in a long time. He realized that with the Losers' Club by his side, he could face anything that came his way. And with that thought, Stanley smiled and was ready to embrace whatever the future had in store for him.

"IT" by Stephen King
To preface this, the book is nothing like the movie. It's absolutely nothing like the movie. They took the characters' names and three isolated events from the book that were roughly three pages long each, and then made a movie out of that. If you watched the movie, don't associate it with my following review.
Heads up, I ABUSE brackets (constantly), and another FYI: There’ll be a level of abuse/sex/gore talk, so it might be in your best interest to skip this review if you’re sensitive to that.
IT (by Stephen King) was super crazy, I loved it, and my overactive imagination did too. The characters are pretty good (I'd kiss Richie Tozier on the lips in a mildly homoerotic way), the story is laid out so nicely and the word choice is insane. Even as someone who’s not a native speaker but started English along with basic multiplication, I’ve had to search up some words. Sure, the book might have given me nightmares about flying leeches biting dime-sized holes into my arms and flying into my mouth to then blow up to the size of a balloon as they fill with my blood, but it was fun to read. Wild ride. I also liked the perspective switch, graphic detailing, and the way that the horrible events described were used as a vessel to talk about bigger things. This book basically scratched all of my itches. A need for gore, a need for emotional depth, a need for comedic relief, a need for poetry, a need for murder and for horrors beyond my comprehension.
Ok, I'm gonna elaborate a bit further to do the story justice. I drip-fed the book to myself slowly, reading a bit every day, five days a week, and it took me... weeks. Well, currently it's one of my favorite books and there's good reason for it. First off, the perspective switches were awesome. Point, end of the story, I don’t care how you stand to Stephen King himself, the plot or anything else relating the book. Incredible. I like how you were able to see everything from everyone's perspective, how there were subjective and objective accounts of things, diary entries, news articles, etc. Had me cumming and nutting I swear to god and little baby jesus, it's so good.
Second, the family dynamics were well-written. I'm a cause-and-effect type of guy, and I like when characters are fleshed out, and there's a rhyme and reason as to why they're the way they are. King (Stephen King, the author) executes this fantastically by letting you meet the families of most of the losers (that's what they call the main characters if you were unaware.)
For example, we're introduced to Bill's post-Georgie apathetic, cold family (giving him a motive to kill IT, since he thinks it'll make his family care about him again). We meet Eddie Kaspbrak’s mother, a fat and overly emotional lady that sort of abused him (I'm sure that the way she treated him was abusive actually) and she ended up really shaping his character from a young age.
Mike Hanlon's family was awesome and supportive though, real model family, but he got crap for being african american (the story’s set in 1958, it was really bad for Mike). Richie Tozier also had a good family (probably the most normal), and Stan Uris did as well (he went birdwatching a lot with his dad.) Bev's family, I think, was the worst of all because her dad physically and emotionally abused her, and well as attempting to sexually abuse her. This is later reflected in the man she marries, Tom, who physically, emotionally, and sexually abuses her. It was very hard to read, I'm gonna be honest. I didn't know what it feels like to read something with a lump in your throat until I read the parts about Tom and Beverly. Plus, it's like... ultra-triggering for survivors of abuse, it was pretty triggering to me, so I'd discourage anyone who went through that kind of stuff from reading. If you really wanna read IT though, as a sexual assault survivor or someone who’s easily triggered by stuff related to SA, you should skip over the Beverly POVs because frankly, they're just brutal.
Well, on a lighter note, I like how Stephen King wrote sex in this book (it's a continuous theme.) And before you judge me, I'm praising him for being thorough enough, but also vague enough. The story is not an erotica, it's not meant to be hot. Sex is mentioned as a form of bond, as a form of abuse (holy shit there's so much abuse in this book, it's absolutely packed with it), and also mentioned in the "losing your childhood / growing old" sort of way which becomes VERY important later in the story. Sex is only insinuated in the story, it's not graphic, you don't get any action out of it and it's only for the plot which I find awesome. Even in the part where adult Bill cheats on his wife with also-adult Beverly (lol), sex is only insinuated, even though it's the only actual erotic scene in the book. Felt like mentioning it on the side, but I *do* think that the way that King wrote about ten-year-old Beverly Marsh’s body way very, very weird; but I was able to let it slide because it wasn’t too frequent and medium in severity. Still think King is kinda messed for describing a kid’s body that way.
Lastly, the poetry is crazy good, and the way he strings together the literal dozens of characters with their own individual stories and experiences is so well-executed. King unironically sat down, created a masterpiece, and dipped. Everything fits into place, all the experiences come together to form this... beautiful picture with no loose threads. Everything ties off together, there are no plotholes and the more you think about it, the more it makes sense. I'm getting goosebumps and a boner thinking about this (I'm a writer, how could you tell?), but the only thing I didn't like about the book is how it ends. I’m gonna ruin Christmas, but essentially IT ends with all of them moving to different states/places and forgetting each other, like, a full memory wipe, and just going back to their lives before that. They're slightly improved though, because Bev leaves her abusive husband and Ben gets a promotion, along with Bill's depression lightening up.
Now comes something that really ruffles my feathers. I hate Ben's and Beverly's relationship toward the end. I hate, hate, hate it. If the word HATE was printed tiny, 10 times onto every square inch of the 1184 pages of the IT paperback, it wouldn't be able to touch the amount of HATE HATE HATE that I feel for the relationship between the two. Bev could have ended up with anyone else. Richie would’ve been ideal, maybe Eddie, hell, Bill would have even been fine if his wife had died. But Ben? Ben the weirdo who's fantasized about touching her breasts starting in fourth grade? Ben who never got over her, even as she was married? Ben who couldn't back the heck off? Ben, the lonely pig who I wished had died instead of Eddie in the finale of the book? I guess he's not as bad as Tom, but holy, I was dreading the Bev&Ben arc, and it ended up being confirmed at the end of the book. Screw that, bro.
Still doesn't take away from how good the book was. I'd rate it a solid ten.

mike hanlon fluff that boy deserves it
YES HE DOES YES HE DOES YES HE DOES YES HE DOES YES HE DOE-
i now present to you:
Birthday wishes
Morning seeped in through the flimsy lace curtains of Michael Hanlon's bedroom. They rustled in the persistent spring breeze, displaying the scars of a losing battle against moths some years ago. He rose slowly and looked over his shoulder to his calendar. There in bulky, red lettering he saw that at Christmas when he had happily written down any and all important dates on it he had included this one '13TH BIRTHDAY' it read proudly in writing almost too big for the box.
With that, he got up, having little by way of sleep the previous night due to his unshakable excitement as this birthday was one that for the first time, would be spent with friends. Real friends. Friends that he had presumably fought and killed a monster with; the sort of folks you wanted to sick by you, y'know? Mike barreled down the stairs and found his parents on either side of their dining table guarding a small stack of presents wrapped neatly in brown paper. He smiled, a great wide beaming grin as he opened the presents diligently, admiring each one as its contents were revealed.
After scarfing down his birthday breakfast of smiley face pancakes, Mike zipped back upstairs to put on one of his new shirts, some old (stainless) jeans and his new sneakers which hit the dirt within 5 minutes of them being on his feet as he set out in search of his friends. Unfortunately, they were pretty hard to find. He chalked it up to it only being early in the day despite the time actually settling somewhere near noon. He had a good scour for them, going to each individual's house before then trying their usual hang out spots: library? not a soul, barrens? some little second graders but certainly not his friends, quarry? he took one glance at belch's trans am and turned on his pristine heel to sprint aimlessly in the other direction. A birthday party in the emergency room didn't sound so sweet. Their clubhouse was locked down by their newly installed, perfectly camouflaged bike chain when he got to it, and Ben was the keeper of the keys, so he knew they weren't there. Only remnants of days spent there, like a bouquet of cigarette dog ends left by Beverly.
Dejected, he trudged back home, fully convinced that his friends had forgotten about him on his big day, regrettably dragging his feet through the loose dust that ornamented the Hanlon's driveway and adjacent country path. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the downstairs curtains were closed, something not uncommon as his mother liked to nap on the couch during the day, when she was able. Mike unlocked the door with his house key, adorned with an array of key-rings. Some bought, some clearly stolen and some won at the local arcade. They made a metallic jingle as he turned the key in the loch and let himself back in the house. Pitch black invaded his eyes as he realised the house was abnormally dark for this time of day. Had he been more alert he would have noticed the faint, whispered voices each urging each other to stay quiet.
Mike slipped his new shoes of and fumbled to put them on the shoe rack, this struggle prompted less of a fumble towards the lightswitch. He flipped it on and bright fluorescent light dripped out of the bulb, shimmering on his skin. Before he had any time to register what was happening, a loud roar of "SURPRISE!!!!" filled his ears and he saw in front of him all his friends, each adorned in plenty of party memorabilia. Each of them had brought him a present, wrapped to varying levels of success. "We've been crouched in this here hallway for about three hours now young man y'hear! Don't you go playing detective ever again!" Richie howled, doing a terrible southern accent "Beep beep Richie" was Mike's awestruck response, soon encompassed in a sea of tweens, hugging real tight.
"You should blow out your candles" Bev hummed, gesturing to the cake that Stan was holding "Y-yeah M-muh-Mike, youre getting wuh-ax on it" Bill hummed, giving him a light grin that was quickly reciprocated by Mike who blew out his candles in an instant, more than happy "Did you make your wish?" Ben hummed, moving his hair out of his face. Mike nodde "Yeah I wished fo-" "No no no! Bad luck!" Eddie wailed, clapping a hand over Mike's mouth to stop him "It won't come true of you tell us" Stan clarified
'Well...' thought Mike Hanlon 'I wished that you losers might stick around a while, if you must know'

welcome to london, BENJAMIN "BEN" HANSCOM! did anyone ever tell you that you look just like AARON TVEIT? well, no matter, we hear that you are 44 and working as a ARCHITECT. we also hear that you currently HAVE your memories from STEPHEN KING’S IT and have a tendency to be LOYAL as well as INSECURE.
DEMOGRAPHICS
Name: Benjamin "Ben" Hanscom
Relatives: Beverly Marsh (Wife)
Occupation: Architect
Birthday: June 2
Age: 44
Sexual Orientation: Hetrosexual
Moral Alignment: Lawful Good
Memory Status: Intact
BACKGROUND
The House On Neibolt Street (Novel only)
When Bill and Richie told the other Losers about the time when they went to the house on 29 Neibolt Street and they encountered It in the form of Pennywise and a werewolf, the losers head over to the house near the train yards. They head inside and are attacked by It in the form of a werewolf. It focuses on Bill and corners him on the wall. Just as It is about to kill Bill, Ben stands in front of Bill and attacks It. It savagely slashes Ben's abdomen, knocking him into the bathtub. Beverly uses the moment to shoot It with the silver slugs. It swears vengeance on the Losers before disappearing back into the sewers.
On May 29, 1985, Ben received a phone call from his old friend, Mike Hanlon (who was the only Loser to stay behind in Derry), telling him, that the killings were happening again and that It may have awoken from its slumber. Mike asks him to return to Derry, as he fears, that It may still well be alive. Ben reluctantly agrees to return to Derry and overcome his trauma and fears.
(Novel only:) Shortly after the phone call, Ben heads down to a local bar, where he drinks heavily to relieve some of his worries and fears. Before departing, he lends a couple of silver coins to the bartender (the same coins he used to fight It in 1958 at the House on Neibolt Street).
When Ben reunites with the returning members of the Losers Club in Derry, he's long since lost a considerable amount of weight and has kept himself fit and in good health. He tells them all how he did it: when he was a teenager in high school, he'd been terrorized by a group of bullying boys in the locker room at school. They'd all ganged up on him, mercilessly slapping him all over his body. When his gym teacher broke the incident up and approached him, instead of empathizing with Ben or seeking out the responsible boys, he gave Ben a harsh pep talk, telling him that if he really wanted to make a difference in his life, Ben would have to change his thinking and lose the bulk of his weight. Ben only partially agreed, defiantly telling his teacher that if he could lose enough in time to try out for the track team (which his teacher also coached) and place high in the running, the coach should excuse him from gym class permanently. The coach is scornful but agrees.
Ben undergoes a rigorous weight-loss plan, exercising every day by running. At first, he often vomits but eventually, the pounds begin to slough off and he is soon holding up his pants while he runs. Ben also acknowledges that the real personal battle he'd face is with his overprotective mother, who had fed him fattening meals for years in a form of control: the longer Ben was overweight, the more she could keep him in her influence. Ben asked his mother to feed him salads, which she granted him since he was eating anything at all, even if it was healthy. However, when she threatened not to buy him newer clothes that would fit his thinning physique, Ben took up a paper route that kept him walking every day and provided him with money to buy them himself.
Eventually Ben feels he's lost enough weight to try out for the track team. He's victorious during his attempt, easily showing up the best tryouts, and haughtily confronts the coach. Furious, the coach responds by punching Ben in the mouth. Ben grants the man the hit for free and walks off. Later, Ben receives notice that the coach has excused Ben from any further physical education classes. Ben tells his old friends that the single idea that really kept him going was that anyone outside of their group that would face It like they did when they were united as kids, would likely freeze from fear and possibly die, Ben's gym teacher included.
Near the end of the book, it's implied or outright stated that Ben and Beverly will leave/left Derry together.

> IT by Stephen King
TW: Abuse, Sex talk, Gore, Godawful Shipping etc.
To preface this, the book is nothing like the movie. It's absolutely nothing like the movie. They took the characters' names and three isolated events from the book that were like... three pages long each, and then made a movie out of that. If you’re thinking of the movie, don't associate it with my following review, even though I’ll be using movie ss to make the review more visually appealing. I repeat, this is not about the movie.
TW: abuse, sex talk, gore
IT, by Stephen King, was super crazy, I loved it, and my overactive imagination did too. the characters are so good, I'd kiss Richie Tozier on the lips in a mildly homoerotic way, the story is laid out so nicely and the word choice is insane. Sure, it might have given me nightmares about flying leeches biting dime-sized holes into my arms and flying into my mouth, but it was fun to read. Wild ride. I also liked the perspective switch, graphic detailing, and the way that these horrible events were used as a vessel to talk about philosophy. This book basically scratched all of my itches. A need for gore, a need for emotional depth, a need for comedic relief, a need for poetry, a need for murder and horrors beyond my comprehension.
Ok, I'm gonna elaborate a bit further to do the story justice. I drip-fed the book to myself slowly, reading a bit every day, five days a week, and it took me... weeks. Well, currently it's my favorite book (no other books have breached the 10-point mark yet) and there's good reason for it.
First off, the perspective switches were awesome. Point, end of the story. Incredible. I like how you were able to see everything from everyone's perspective, how there were subjective and objective accounts of things, diary entries, news articles, etc. Had me cumming and nutting I swear to god it's so good.
Second, the family dynamics were well-written. I'm a cause-and-effect type of guy, and I like when characters are fleshed out, and there's a rhyme and reason as to why they're the way they are. King (Stephen King, the author) executes this fantastically by letting you meet the families of most of the losers (that's what they call the main characters if you were unaware.)
For example, we're introduced to Bill's apathetic, cold family (giving him a motive to kill IT, since he thinks it'll make his family care about him again), we meet Eddie Kaspbraks mother, a fat, and overly emotional lady that sort of abused him (I'm pretty sure that the way she treated him was abusive) and really shaped his character from a young age. Mike Hanlon's family was awesome and supportive, real model family, but he got crap for being african american (story set in 1958, it was really bad for Mike). Richie Tozier also had a good family, Stan Uris as well (he went birdwatching a lot with his dad.) Bev's family, I think, was the worst of all because her dad physically and emotionally abused her, and well as attempting to sexually abuse her. This is later reflected in the man she marries, Tom, who physically, emotionally and sexually abuses her. It was very hard to read, I'm gonna be honest. I didn't know what it feels like to read something with a lump in your throat until I read the parts about Tom and Beverly. Plus, it's like... ultra-triggering for survivers of abuse, so I'd discourage anyone who went through that kind of stuff from reading. If you really wanna read IT though, you should skip over the Beverly POVs because frankly, they're just brutal.
Well, third, I like how Stephen King wrote sex in this book (it's a continuous theme.) And before you judge me, I'm praising him for being thorough enough, but vague enough. The story is not an erotica, it's not meant to be hot. Sex is mentioned as a form of bond, as a form of abuse (holy shit there's so much abuse in this book, it's absolutely packed with it), and also mentioned in the "losing your childhood" sort of way which becomes VERY important later in the story. Sex is only insinuated in the story, it's not graphic, you don't get any action out of it and it's only for the plot which I find awesome. Even in the part where adult Bill cheats on his wife with also-adult Beverly (lol), sex is only insinuated, even though it's the only actual erotic scene in the book.
Lastly, the poetry is crazy, and the way he strings together the literal dozens of characters with their own individual stories and experiences is so well-executed. King unironically sat down, created a masterpiece and dipped. Everything fits into place, all the experiences come together to form this... beautiful picture with no loose threads. I'm getting goosebumps and a boner thinking about this (I'm a writer, how could you tell?), but the only thing I didn't like about the book is how it ends.
(It ends with all of them moving to different states/places and forgetting each other, like, a full memory wipe, and just going back to their lives before that. They're slightly improved though, because Bev leaves her abusive husband and Ben gets a promotion, along with Bill's depression lightening up.)
Now comes something that really ruffles my feathers. I hate Ben's and Beverly's relationship. I hate, hate, hate it. If the word HATE was printed tiny, 10 times onto every square inch of the 1184 pages of the IT paperback, it wouldn't be able to touch the amount of HATE HATE HATE that I feel for the relationship between the two. Bev could have ended up with anyone else. Richie, maybe Eddie, hell, Bill would have even be fine. But Ben? Ben the weirdo who's fantasized about touching her breasts starting in fourth grade? Ben who never got over her, even as she was married? Ben who couldn't back the heck off? Ben, the lonely, fat pig who I wished had died instead of Eddie in the finale of the book? I guess he's not as bad as Tom, but holy, I was dreading the Bev&Ben arc, and it ended up being confirmed at the end of the book. Screw that, man.
Still doesn't take away from how good the book was. I'm rating it a solid ten.
#josh index#reviewposting#those who got this far#anon - you might be wondering “why didn't josh talk about the symbolism”#because that would take forever#i could write a stephen-king-sized book about the symbolism in this novel#also it would be like#viscerally personal#i'd be revealing shit about me that nobody could waterboard out of me#but yeah that's why i only talked about the book broadly#i barely scratched the surface in this review#and uh#i'm planning on keeping it this way

Never Date A Tenor (The Unspoken Rules Of Musical Theater)

Richie Tozier hates Pay-to-Plays. You know, the camp where you pay to enroll, and every kid gets a part no matter how ass they are. Maybe it’s because he was often the only person actually dedicated to not putting something equal in quality to an old man’s dick pics on stage for all to see. Maybe it’s because he’s never fit his age group, so no matter how many levels of talent he had on everyone else, he was also the only kid who could pass as the lead’s Dad. Maybe it didn't matter why, Richie just plain hates them.
But, like I said, Richie loves his parents, and if they think easing into High School theater with a Pay-to-Play will be best for him, then he’ll do it. For them.
So, allow me to set the scene:
DERRY, MAINE. SUMMER. The first day of what was going to be one long summer camp.
OR:
A summer broadway bootcamp where everyone is either a Theater Kid or a Kid In Theater, but no one escapes the Drama--especially not the Losers.
