You Know That One Character? Hes From That One Fandom Based Off Of A Book That Is Huge And Most People

You know that one character? He’s from that one fandom based off of a book that is huge and most people don’t read. He’s a dark haired, depressed guy who’s in love with a small, angry boy and is part of a group of students who are trying to save their home city and annoys the boy he loves just to get attention, especially by calling him nicknames he hates and is super smart and brave even though no one expects him to be. He is the character whom people often make a musician or artist with a sad backstory in their fics and was willing to die just to the love of his life wouldn’t die alone facing the enemy and never got the chance to express his feelings. His name starts with an R and the boy he loves’ name starts with an E. You know him? Surely there’s only one character that fits that description...

In Defense of the Turning

Spoilers!!!

Was it an 8 star film? No. But did it deserve the 3.7 it’s currently at on IMDb? Also no. I’ve been reading the reviews there and the biggest complaint is the ending but I can tell you the book doesn’t end any less abruptly so they didn’t have a lot to go off of, and also, that was kind of the point? If you want to know the ending, though, I can tell you that in the book Flora goes to live with her uncle shortly after the confrontation at the end of the movie, Miles dies, and the governess takes a different job. People are complaining about how vague it was since you don’t know if the ghosts are real or not but that is the entire point of the movie? Not knowing if you’re going insane or not is almost scarier than the ghosts. The only thing that could’ve saved this movie based on a confusing book is having a linear time line and not doing the “and the last half hour is all in her head” and left it at that, leaving us to wonder what was real and what wasn’t. I think the movie worked with what it had and the acting was good.

I literally can’t stop thinking about an IT and Les Mis crossover. Like the Amis hear about how intolerant Derry is so they show up and try to change things by teaming up with the local outcasts. It starts out serious enough with Mike teaching them about Derry’s past and Ben shows them places to hold a protest, but soon they’re at the quarry and chaos happens. Grantaire and Richie team up to annoy their boyfriends while Stan and Combeferre look on in fond annoyance. Eddy and Enjolras spend a lot of time wondering aloud why they ended up dating these two idiots but when they think no one can hear them they pretty much fangirl over them. Jehan and Ben write poems together whenever Jehan wasn’t too busy cooing over how Richie was a mini Grantaire, while Bev and Eponine smoke and bond over the idiot boys they’ve ended up being friends with. Richie joins them for a bit, and both pretend to be annoyed by him, but Bev’s barely suppressed smiles and Eponine’s abnoxiously ruffling his hair made it known they didn’t mind it. Richie’s jokes had only gotten more annoying throughout the day with Courfeyrac’s encouragement. They all are scolded by Eddie and Joly, whom the others tried to keep away from each other out of fear they would feed off each others’ fears, but instead they end up talking about how difficult it is to be constantly afraid and how they’ve been trying to cope. Bev and Eponine talk about their dads, and Grantaire and Richie also end up having some serious conversations about their childhoods and dealing with homophobia, and Grantaire teaches him some self defense for when Bowers attacks while Enj and Eddie try not to stare. Combeferre and Stan talk about moths and birds and Jehan goes bird watching with them before leaving to make flower crowns with Bev. Gavroche completely corrupts Georgie and the two cause mischief for hours, Courfeyrac giggling right along with them. Mike shows Bahorel and Bossuet around the farm, but Bossuet leaves shortly after being attacked by three chickens. Mike barely controls his laughter enough to help. Bahorel ends up walking around with ten kittens in his arms for the rest of the day. One of the cats ends up in Enjolras’ sweatshirt hood and the only clue to how it got there was a snickering Grantaire, Courfeyrac, and Mike. Bill and Feiully just sit quietly and watch with amusement as the chaos unfolds, and sometimes Enjolras joins them. At one point Feiully leaves to go talk more history with Mike. No one’s really sure why, but Feiully becomes Bev’s favorite, after Eponine, and Richie’s too, after Grantaire. Eponine sat by Bill as well, and he looked absolutely terrified but calmed down as they started talking. 

You know that one character? He’s from that one fandom based off of a book that is huge and most people don’t read. He’s a dark haired, depressed guy who’s in love with a small, angry boy and is part of a group of students who are trying to save their home city and annoys the boy he loves just to get attention, especially by calling him nicknames he hates and is super smart and brave even though no one expects him to be. He is the character whom people often make a musician or artist with a sad backstory in their fics and was willing to die just to the love of his life wouldn’t die alone facing the enemy and never got the chance to express his feelings. His name starts with an R and the boy he loves’ name starts with an E. You know him? Surely there’s only one character that fits that description…

Stan’s letter voices

So I watched IT Chapter 2 while flying somewhere and pulled up the subtitles for Stan’s letter and have been blessed with this knowledge: Richie says be true, Eddie says be brave, Mike says stand, and Bev says believe. And of course Bill says “and don’t ever forget” and Stan says “we’re losers and we always will be.”

richie and stan were best friends

i cant bring up the specifics of the book since ive only read it once, but both the book and miniseries confirm that richie and stan were friends before the formation of the losers club.

stan (at least in the miniseries/movies) is the only loser(except, possibly, beverly) who can keep up with richies jokes and, without missing a beat, have an equally witty quip. theres a certain amount of friendship and comfortableness that goes into being able to make jokes with your friend, without it becoming personal. there is no venom behind “thats not saying much”. its richie making a joke about his dick size and stan poking fun at him, theres no venom behind “do what you always do, start talking”.  stan doesnt have the same bickering with any of the others, and he certainly wouldnt make jokes like that with people he doesnt like. yes, richie jokes with all the losers, and none of them hate him for his often inappropriate comments, but none of them have comebacks. they just wave him off for the most part.

but its also the way stan can react to richie without looking at him. the way stan immediately knows richie goes for a high five after “beats spending it inside of your mother” and brings his hand down. the way he rolls his eyes before richie can even finish his sentence because he knows its going to be a bad joke.

the way, at the end of chapter 1, stan deadpans “i hate you” before smiling and richie doesnt hesitate to smile back.

the way they always seem to gravitate towards each other, almost always standing next to each other when they can. in chapter 1, richie gets knocked into stan by the bowers’ gang and they help each other up because thats what they do. to contrast, later in chapter 1, when the losers go to bens house, eddie falls when he tries to dismount his bike and richie just watches, he doesnt help like he does with stan.

its stan grabbing richie and pulling him out of the way when pennywise comes out of the projector. its richie holding onto stan and comforting him in the sewers in the miniseries. its stan trying to hold richie back when richie tries to hit bill. its richie whos the first to get to stan after judith attacks him, its richie on the brink of tears when stan screams “you left me. youre not my friends. you made me go into neibolt”. its richie screaming “stanley!” when he gets thrown back by pennywise during the fight

in the miniseries before they go into the sewers, its stans “i said i was in” and its richies “yeah, you think we’re gonna let you have all the fun there, billy boy?” richie is just as scared as stan is, he just doesnt show it in the same way.

now to the main part of the argument: stans bar mitzvah

richie was the only one of the losers to go to stans bar mitzvah. its not like the other losers didnt know, because the core four talk about it at the beginning of chapter 1. neither bill nor eddie show up to this huge moment in stans life. in the movie, its hinted at that stan might be questioning his religion, or at least, he doesnt believe his religion is the most important thing in his life. he wants support from his friends, and looks to richie, the only one there, for that support. hell, richie is the only person in the whole synagogue that supports stan in that moment.

similarly, when richie needed support, stan is the one who provides it. ive said it before and ill say it until i die, richie was going to leave derry and the losers in chapter 2.

richie was driving away, ready to turn his back on the losers, when he came across the synagogue. its only when he remembered stans bar mitzvah, and his speech about what being a loser means, that he decided to stay. “thanks for showing up, stanley” is not a throw away line of “oh i remember you now lets fight this clown” its more along the lines of “i remember how you made me feel safe and loved and how the rest of the losers make me feel the same. thank you for reminding me when i needed it most.”

theres also more behind “probably like he was as a kid: the best”. thats not just a line about how stan bought them shower caps to keep spiders out, its specifically about the connection richie and stan have. its why stan is stan the man, its not just a simple rhyme, its because richie looks up to him and thinks hes, as cheesy as it sounds, the man.

i could go on about every line richie says about/to stan in chapter 2 but i wont because thatll make this even longer

richie and stan were best friends and its so much more than a headcanon
