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
Why people tend to write Pennywise to be so clueless about the world? C'mon, he’s been here longer than any of us, he knows whats up. He probably thaught us, primitives, languages, so he can bully us properly. Needless to say he knows about all the other stuff we invented, juging by the way he interracts and speaks to humans.
Okay with how stressful the situation the day has been by no means think the Losers would’ve laughed at Richie’s impression of Pennywise in the clubhouse in Chapter 2
However…
I do believe after Bill says Beep Beep Richie and he says sorry, Eddie turns and whispers to him “…why was that impression so good?” And Richie’s like “don’t know what you mean? Have I not proven myself a fantastic comedian and impressionist on Netflix-” and Eddie’s like “Oh shut your grandstanding ass up, there’s no way you just do those voices on your first try, which means…”
And Richie refuses to look at Eddie as he gasps
“… Did you fucking practice imitating Pennywise after we first fought him?…”
“NO!- Uh no no not at all no I’m just a good impressionist-”
And the others clock onto the convo similarly horrified with Ben like “Fucking hell, Richie, why?! Were you not traumatised like the rest of us?”
And Bev is like “I’m pretty sure I accidentally punched a clown at the Derry fair shortly after just cause of the facepaint!”
And Bill is like deadpan “Have you no shame…”
And Mike is just horrified
And Richie then has to explain that one of the weird ways he coped with his trauma was by learning to do impressions of Pennywise and making him say stupid shit to convince himself that if Pennywise was really around and watching, that it’d kill him for saying it in the first place and his continuing to live afterwards was like proof it was okay.
“Besides… I think you underestimate the comedic value of hearing Pennywise call himself a dumb bitch for getting his ass kicked by a bunch of outcast kids,” and in his best Pennywise voice continues “Cause life is kicking those kids asses better than me and it feels like a real low point in my career…”
And the Losers are deadpan apart from Eddie, who despite desperately trying to hold in a laugh, snorts
Mike turns to Eddie and is like “Pennywise has killed people, Eddie, come on”
“Eddie, they kicked me out of the American Clown Union…” A few of the Losers, including Mike also begin to have amused grins. “It wasn’t even for killing kids. It's cause they thought my face paint looked like I had a dick and balls on my face…”
Eddie’s fucking crying with laughter
“I mean that and the embezzlement…”
Stan is not at all amused by this particular impression once he arrives in the cavern in the nick of time but it has to be said that there is something a little cathartic about listening to Pennywise get roasted by its own voice
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. 😄
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?

:(
That fact that Richie is the first one to comfort/hug Bill when he finds Georgie's jacket at the end of the fight is so special to me. :(
