ThingsI Think Everyoneshould Know About Stephen KingsIT (the Book)

things I think everyone should know about Stephen King’s IT (the book)

Part 1, bc i’m only 200 pages in

Stanley wears bell bottoms on his days off

Richie is gentle!af. He makes friends with everyone who works for him and tries to make them all laugh. He hangs up the phone “gently.”

Eddie understands full well that he doesn’t love Myra and only married her because she reminded him of his mother.

There’s a kind of love between them that comes from familiarity, or maybe family, but it’s never romantic and it’s very fleeting.

Their relationship is just… ugly.

He calls her Marty, though, and I think that’s sweet.

The first thing Richie remembers from Derry is being bullied. Mike says Richie was bullied the most out of all the losers.

Ben says “Beverly Hanscom” out loud and has to press his face into the grass to cool down.

Stan is Very Good in bed.

Ben only gets Really Mad at Henry Bowers when he remembers that Henry destroyed his library books and he realizes that his favorite librarian will be upset.

He proceeds to kick Henry in the balls.

The reaction of pain lasts, like, multiple paragraphs.

Patty Uris is the purest, kindest woman in the world.

Stephen King is honestly quite sexist.

He’s obsessed with women’s bodies/nipples. 

Sometimes being graphic about bodies makes sense, but nipples don’t work like that Mr. King.

It took Eddie three tries to leave his mother. 

Beverly is intensely competitive.

She keeps her nails very short so that she can’t bite them.

Turtles are a Very Big Deal. Why wasn’t this a bigger deal in the movies/miniseries?

Not much has been reviewed about Mike yet. Sorry guys. He’s had a chapter, but it’s mostly plotty backstory.

Audra is about 10 years older than Bill.

The hate crime at the beginning of IT Ch 2 is a really big deal in the book. Like, if you could be triggered, DON’T READ. Mr. King, tag your shit. Extremely upsetting and graphic. I mean, it’s a “horrorbook” (as Patty would call it), but that’s not even clown shit.

Patty and Stan had the healthiest relationship in the world.

confession prompted by: I was going to each a mini crunch bar at 11 at night and his voice popped up in my head telling me not to eat like shit

just made the grave mistake of telling my mom I have a crush on mads mikkelsen’s hannibal

Ravenclaw headcanons

because I'm feeling ✨nostalgic✨

Ravenclaw tower is so tall because they like to be in their own little world

like cats sitting on top of high shelves

“I have opinions about everything and I’m always sure they’re right”

doesn’t matter what you ask them, they’ll have a hot take

there are two factions. Ravenclaws that take school seriously, and Ravenclaws who would rather kill themselves than write that essay

faction one loves the common room in its cleanest state. hard edges and lots of study tables. like a gorgeous library. 

faction two trashes the place constantly with all of the shit from their hobbies 

tables filled with beakers and paints and books with Zero educational value

spilling onto the floor

all the space in the common room is a necessity, just to house the mess

the house elves know not to try to clean this up. Ravenclaws will become angry and distraught in they try

they argue more than the gryffindors because they /will/ die on this hill and they are not wrong

headstrong motherfuckers

they have a little game of how ridiculously they can answer the door’s riddles and still get in

startlingly few people understand that THERE IS NO PASSWORD 

Rowena Ravenclaw did this on purpose. There is no room for exclusion in a learning environment. Everyone brings something to the table. Even if they’re wrong, even if they’re bigoted, the teach everyone about the dangers of human nature—and in a perfect world, they can grow into a better person too

Ravenclaws are perfect for this task

they will take hours to dig through your years of conditioning and prejudice to explain something

and you bet your ass they succeed

converting pureblood assholes to good people is the one thing they can always come together for

that being said, Ravenclaws will turn on you just as fast as a Slytherin if you piss them off

they don’t need a password—they can and will keep you out by any means necessary

they’ll try to turn you into a better person, but hard opinions mean quick and decisive action

you cross a line, you’re done

lots of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff crossover there

not that Slytherin’s aren't capable of that, but they’ll only beat on you if you’re mean to their inner circle. strangers aren't their problem. 

woke as fuck

thinks the concept of being woke is a waste of time and a scam for famous people

I might do another post for another house? I know it’s not popular anymore, but I just… really enjoy this. idk, we’ll see what strikes my fancy.

every time someone complains about something “not being the correct ship” I scoff. I don’t ship drarry and I have never once kicked up a fuss. you are entitled to nothing. 

what the fuck is happening in the supernatural fandom right now??

one thing I never expected would come of having the first real celebrity crush of my life is that I worry he’s going to die a lot?? I see something that makes it sound like he’s dead and I frantically google.
