so my house just literally fucking flooded in the basement & all i can fucking think about is those gay kids from the 80s who got hunted by a clown

not to mention, half of the items i own are literally floating in the water

my family also might be freaking out that i keep saying "you'll float too" like every three seconds

Benverly with purple by Olivia Rodrigo send tweet

Oh what’s that? You want me to elaborate? Well don’t mind if I do dear reader OKAY. I want to specifically draw attention to the following lines

- “It’s crazy, I had big dreams ‘till I tied myself to you” this is in regard to her ex-husband (Tom Rogan). Before she left Derry Beverly was going to break the cycle of abuse and live her own life, but when she met Tom all these dreams faded into the background. Sure, she still did fashion design, but even that was on his terms for his company. Purple is the turning point of the album and is about toxic, all-consuming relationships, I couldn’t NOT mention Tom.

- “Your buzzcut, and scrapes on your knees changed but those eyes I still know” Basically the moment they reunited in the second film in a nutshell. They used to know each other inside out, they forgot each other but when they meet again they still feel like they know each other intimately, despite all of the changes they underwent.

- “made our paths intersect ‘till the two lines formed a circle” this is about Derry 1.0 and Derry 2.0. So their paths were intertwined for a while, they lost each other, and then found their way back together again in a beautiful full circle moment.

- “melt with you till it all turns black are we so in love are we too attached” so this is more headcanon territory, but I imagine Beverly isn’t 100% sure when she started the relationship with Ben. Not as in she isn’t sure about Ben, or about being in a relationship with him, more so she’s scared she might end up ruining it by rushing things or how the after-effects of IT and everything impact the relationship. Fear not, however, because Ben is the absolute best man in the world and I don’t understand Billverly shippers and why they reject perfection, so their relationship ends better than Olivia’s.

BEN LIKED THE WAY HIS LAUGH SOUNDED WITH BILL AND EDDIES 😭😭😭😭😭

'You saved my life, Big Bill,' Ben says suddenly and Bill shakes his head. 'You did, though,' Ben persists, and this time Bill doesn't shake his head. He suspects that maybe he had done just that, although he does not yet remember how . . . and was it him? He thinks maybe Beverly . . . but that is not there. Not yet, anyway.

'I gave the other three to a friend of mine before I came out here,' Ben says quietly. 'For his kids. I remembered there had been a fourth, but I couldn't remember what happened to it. Now I do.' He looks at Bill. 'We made a silver slug out of it, didn't we? You, me, and Richie. At first we were going to make a silver bullet — '

Ben says, 'I remembered what happened to the extra silver dollar.'

'Yes,' Ben says. 'We love you.' His eyes widen a little, and he laughs. 'I think we still all love each other . . . Do you know how rare that must be?'

'You go head-on,' Ben says, wiping his streaming eyes. 'You go head-on, Eddie. I bet it really moves the mail, too.'
