Billy Appreciation Post

I need me a real stupid au where Richie is like a comedian version of Hannah Montana. Like he wears a wig and takes off his glasses and all of a sudden he's Richie Trashmouth and Richie has to constantly bounce between being Richard Tozier, average teenage boy, and Richie Trashmouth, hilarious babyfaced comedian, as he tries to he in two places at once. Wentworth and Maggie support this endeavor as best as they can so their son can stay grounded, but most of the time that just means telling Richie he has to do the dishes when they fly back to Maine.

His friends learn about his Richie Trashmouth persona one by one and next thing he knows they're also dawning little disguises everytime they're in public. This leads to some wacky stuff, like Henry bullying Richie regularly but thinking Richie Trashmouth is the funniest comedian ever. Richie smacking his head against a wall as Connor Bowers drools over Trashmouth and ignores Richie exists. All the while nobody ever points out "hey... that kid with the exact same sense of humor as that comedian guy also looks just like him." because it's hannah montana rules.

The most painful thing about Eddies death is that Pennywise didn’t just kill him for fun. He knew. He fucking knew that if he killed Eddie, he was killing 2 losers, not just one. He knew that as soon as Eddie was dead, another loser would stop fighting. Knew he would do anything to get Eddie back or die with him. And he was right. Richie stayed by Eddies side the whole time, only leaving to fight IT because he thought Eddie would survive. Richie refused to believe Eddie was dead and fought to bring him out of the cistern. Pennywise knew Richie would’ve stayed with Eddie no matter what. And Richie would’ve, if the other losers hadn’t dragged him out. Even when Neibolt house was collapsing, Richie still fought to get Eddie back.

Richie’s biggest fear was never truly being gay. That was a part of it, sure, but not his biggest fear. It was always losing Eddie. Always. That’s why Pennywise showed him Eddie in Neibolt house-why he always went into full panic mode when Eddie was in danger.

It was always Eddie.

That’s why Pennywise killed him-because he knew that when Eddie died, Richie would die with him.

and he was right.

Bill looked confused. Of course Georgie couldn’t quite understand why his big brother was confused. Wasn’t he happy to see Georgie? Wasn’t that the whole reason they were down in that dark, scary place? To save seven year old Georgie from the monster that had taken him? He didn’t know what his brother was confused for but he was still happy to see Bill! Georgie shifted from foot to foot, reaching out with his arm. “Yeah!” He answered, stepping forward. “It’s me.” He answered. Georgie looked between the familiar faces he knew and the unfamiliar faces he didn’t know.

“Who are your new friends, Billy?” The boy questioned curiously. Before he could say much else, he watched as Stan whispered something to the older Denbrough boy. Georgie tilted his head curiously as he watched his brother’s friend move closer. Georgie brought his hand up and waved at the other boy. Georgie looked between Stan and Bill as the former stopped in front of him. “Can we get some food?” He asked as Stan leaned forward as if he was examining him like a doctor would. His brows furrowed as Stan looked at him in alarm. “What?” He demanded, stomping his foot on the ground, missing Stan's quiet. "Bill, I think it really is him."

“Come on! Can’t we just go? I want to go home.” Georgie pleaded, lip quivering as he started sniffling. “I don’t wanna stay here anymore! That scary clown might come back!” The small boy flung himself at his big brother and clinged to the older boy, his face buried in Bill’s side. “Please, Bill…” @scribedhorror
