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. 😄
“Why didn’t bill wanna believe Georgie was dead!!🤬🤬”
In the books Bill was 10 when Georgie went “missing”. After that his parents never talked to him or even looked at him. They never talked at the dinner, I think they even didn’t had the dinner together, but I might remember wrong, they never said goodnight to each other anymore. And then he went to the losers built and shouted into the forest that they are wrong, that he’ll find Georgie and they all took it out on him for no reason. He just thought that if he could bring back Georgie his parents would love him again.
I’m sobbing every time I think of this.
Let’s add his survivor guilt about Georgie and I’m on the floor with tears
one — la dispute
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
that’s why pennywise’s forehead is so big. it’s full of secrets
HERE HE IS. 2017 Pennywise is such a nice design. a nice boy
Here are some little sketches I did
The losers club thoughts: the reason why the losers are so chaotic and unhinged in the second movie(besides you know the trauma and memories coming back) is because Stanley Uris was like 90% of their impulse control. With Stanley gone everything turns into pure chaos. Honestly Stanley should have been a lawyer instead of an accountant with how much chaos and law breaking all these guys get into.
When Georgie was born Bill was absolutely obsessed with him. It was constantly,
“Mommy can I hold him” “Dad can I feed him?” “Hi Georgie I’m your big brother Bill”
This was also when he was just meeting the losers and becoming friends since they’d be pre-k/kindergartners. So he’d bring over Eddie, Richie, and eventually Stan (year younger problems) to just play with Georgie.
Bill would always call himself big brother Bill when talking to Georgie so the losers started calling him Big Bill, and that’s how he got his nickname.
(+Richie was having a play date with Bill when Georgie said his first word and brags about it/ lies about what Georgie said to the losers constantly)
