y’all out here writing richie like he’s edgy and emo all the time.
like sure , he went through a phase where he only wore ripped black jeans and his closet was at least 90% band tee’s and his hair was dyed black. he probably painted his nails black and wore a multitude of rings. he bought fake lip piercings because fuck if he was gonna let needles anywhere near his mouth and his only shoes were black converse and doc martens.
my point is , he would also 100% wear a tmnt t-shirt and fucking jorts he borrowed from bill. he would wear dumb overalls with his iconic freese’s shirt underneath. and in my mind he would put his hair up with scrunchies that he stole from bev because it keeps getting in his face.
honestly , write him however you’d like , i’m not going to judge. if you wanna write him as an angsty teen go for it !! if you wanna write him super soft , that’s really cool too !! just do what you want. this is not a post for me to use to gatekeep your writing and opinions , it’s just me saying what i personally think. i’m guilty of writing him every way you could think of. soft , angsty , completely ooc , all of it. your story / drawing / anything , your rules babey !!
