YESSS LET’GOOO

In 2024 (or 2025 I don’t fuckin know) when Welcome To Derry gets released on HBO, the fandom is gonna come alive again. I know this, we all know this.

But then there’s the few like me who have been here from the start. Never left. WE ARE LONELY PLS COME BACK ALREADY WE NEED THE IT FANDOM THRIVING AGAIN

Watched IT chapter one the other day and all I keep thinking about is this AU idea called “let’s make a deal” where Bill protects Georgie by making a deal with Pennywise telling him that he’ll bring him only the terrible people in Derry to which Pennywise agrees. He enlists the help of his friends and they agree to do this in order to keep the kids of Derry safe (and to get rid of the bullies and Bevs shitty dad). Maybe some bonding occurs between Pennywise and the kids? Maybe he sees them as his kids or little siblings and starts to genuinely want to protect them since no one’s ever given him anything or treated him kindly before?

My HC for any of my remaining Penny lovers out here🥺

Pennywise likes to be observant. It's what he does the whole time he's active. But with his favourite person, he's not observing them to decipher their weaknesses and fears, he just likes to look at them.

In close proximity, he'll be physical, possibly even gentle and delicate. After all, he's not attacking, he's just observing. We see him being very physical when attacking people; gripping their throats, tugging on their limbs/clothing, wrenching them around, dragging them, picking them up and so on.

But when he's not hungry or in attack mode, with his favourite person, he'll still move them around and position their limbs to look at them from every angle. Almost like those little artist mannequins that you can manipulate into poses for references.

He'll be holding his favourite person's wrist and straightening/bending their fingers, counting the creases in their palm, bending their elbow, rising and dropping their arms. If his favourite person has tattoos/intricate jewelry, he'll be examining all the details and angling the jewelry so that it catches the light.

He thinks his favourite person is worth gazing at, appreciating small details about them like freckles, birthmarks, blemishes, scars. It just makes them more interesting to him.

You know what? I am also offended… Offended that they didnt really roast Pennywise to death with some more sophisticated rude wordsmithing.  At least more sophisticated than repeating “YOU ARE JUST A CLOWN”

Imagine if Bev hadn't already gotten her period before she met the losers and just got it on a random day they were hanging out at the club house. She's just chilling with them all like normal until suddenly her ovaries start kicking her ass and she just keels over in pain. Everyone is freaking out, most of the boys think she's dying. Mike is horrified because hes rather sheltered from most things, doesnt even know what a period is. Eddie is horrified cause of the blood on her dress. Ben and Bill wanna help but they don't know how. Stan has totally checked out. And richie tries to crack a joke about "oh geez bev are you having a woman problem or something?" Until he realizes, yes, she actually is.

They sit Bev down and try to awkwardly help the best the can. Mike gives Bev a soda can he was drinking out of cause its still cold and he thinks she can press it against her stomach to ease the pain. Stan just kinda kicks dirt over the spot on the ground where she bled everywhere and says that's good enough. Bev eventually pulls Eddie and Bill aside and asks them if they will go to the pharmacy and get her some pads because she 1. Doesn't wanna see Mr. Keene again 2. Doesn't wanna risk running into Gretta when she already feels bad. 3. Doesn't wanna walk around town with blood all over her dress. And 4. Doesn't want her dad to see her buying these yet.

Eddie and Bill ride their bikes to the pharmacy and spend the next five minutes awkwardly perusing the women' aisle overwhelmed by choice. They have no idea what option to get and they also dont get why there are so many. Bill just tells him to get the one on the right because "it has flowers on the box... girls like flowers.". Eddie also picks up a box of tampons and when bill asks why he says that next time Richie gets a random nosebleed he's gonna hand him one of these. At the register Mr. Keene is very weirded out by the fact that these two thirteen year old boys are buying period products and nothing else, Eddie's not even here for an inhaler refill. He asks who these are for and Eddie says "my mom" and Bill says he is also buying period products for Eddie's mother. Riiight. 😑

When all is said and done though i think things could have totally been worse, and although her friends were terrified and panicking they were still pretty respectful about it. Honestly probably better than if this had happened at home or, god forbid, at class.

This post is sponsored by me being on my period today, 😃 it fucking sucks. 😄

every charcater in Welcome to Derry better be doomed by the narrative, I want this to be a tragedy

I’m gonna be so pissed the fuck off if Welcome To Derry gives us another band of kids who fight back against It and come close to killing It/manage to harm It like no the whole fucking point is these kids die alone and helpless and get lost to time and the world moves on and forgets and it’s horrible and tragic and unfair. It’s a cycle broken by the loser’s club and them only. That’s a massively important aspect of the story.
