It 2017

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.

WIP! Between job, commissions and general life I’ve been working on an October special with the Losers club! Based on their character arcs through the films!

[notharper]

Losers As Theatre People

Bill: stage manager- the only one who doesn't scream at the actors and also just likes to sit up in the booth with stan

Ben: director- the cast loves him, the drama department heads love him, the audience loves his pre-show speech, everyone loves him (how could you not)

Beverly: costuming (duh)

Stan: lighting designer- he likes how ordered and clean-cut the light systems are and makes seriously beautiful art with his colors. he hates strobes with a passion and getting to sit up in the booth with bill isn't terrible

Richie: sound designer: imagine the most,,,obnoxious sound effects,,,paired up with the most beautiful and subtle effects. he uses every spare second he can to fix broken mics while muttering about unappreciative cast-members (im not projecting you're projecting)

Eddie: this boi. does everything. no one knows how or why but he's the one who clean up the green room and get everyone snacks and helps richie and beg with their little projects when things break or tear. he's out there moving sets and running lines and no one knows how he has time to that AND make out w trashmouth under the pit

Mike: he just. appears at cast parties. since he's a sport-boi he can never find a way to the that AND farm stuff AND school AND theatre so he's just a Very dedicated audience member

I wanna make these “you’re not your trauma” serie/posters for the loser club based on their characters arc and “trigger words”

I have most of them figured out, (example would be Eddie - plazebo, Bev - daddys little girl) but I'm having trouble with Ben, Bill and Mike.

Help me,,, out
