I don’t want people to believe I hate reddie or that I despise people who ship them, I just can’t stand people that talk about them like if they are canon or whoever mischaracterize them just to make them sound in love (I hate it with every ship, reddie is just the most popular so those things are more common btw).
Do I decided to share a cute thing I notice reading the book that I NEVER see people talk about.
Earlier in the novel Eddie mentioned that his favorite artist is Jerry Lee Lewis (yes, the one who later married his 13 years old cousin, but let’s not talk about that) and later one, when Richie is talking about music with Mike and Ben, he of course first mentioned Buddy Holly and Little Richard (who he often says are his favorite artists), but he refuses to talk about Jerry Lee Lewis, who he calls ‘his secret obsession’.
And it’s not like he was a unknown artist: he was one of the most famous rock artists in the world at the time. So yeah, I thought it was cute.
