what calms your muse down after a bad day?
considering i peg richie as more of an ambivert, there are a few ways that this could play out. depending on the severity of his day, richie is quite fond of catching up in moments of silence by himself. the place that gives him the most source of comfort and is usually his go-to - is his treehouse. the treehouse has been a place that he’s coined as his sanctuary from a young age when things at home were too tense to handle, after having a fight with one of the losers or simply when he’s been in a bad mood. sitting up in there with either a comic book or listening to records is something that helps calm him down a tad.
another source of comfort and calm that aids him are the dynamics and relationships he has with other people. there are VERY FEW people who truly know richie to the very core and the people that do are ones that know exactly what he needs in a moment of unrest and upset. bill, for example is really good at calming richie down. he knows how to get him to stop, take a second and remind him to breathe and focus on something else.
