weird little beach-y loser hcs
- bev sunburns SO easily. eddie makes her wear really high spf suncream and she’ll still get red but !! two or three after days her freckles get really vibrant so she thinks its worth it
- ben and stan dont always love going in the water (cuz of bens body image issues and stans ocd) so they’ll usually build a sandcastle together and they’re always so impressive!! bev and richie will bring them seashells they find by the shore/underwater to decorate with
- every. single. time. they go to the beach, bill will get divebombed by at least one seagull. he has no idea why it happens, though everyone else will say its because he makes no effort to hide his food.
- they always play chicken - the usual teaming is mike with bev or bill and richie with eddie. mike and bill are a very strong team but dumb and dumber richie and eddie hold their own pretty well too
- mike cannot get the hang of those collapsible beach chairs. he’ll fall through the gap every time (there are several photos of this). he has been regulated to beach towels only.
- richie and bill try and draw as many dicks in the wet sand as they can before the tide comes in. current record is richie at 23
- eddie wears a big floppy hat that richie makes fun of but finds so fuckin cute. he also always tans despite the copious amounts of protection he wears, and bev is so jealous
- stan refuses to kiss either of his boyfriends until they rinse their mouths of ocean water. eddie used to stick by this rule too but now he’s the one initiating weird, sandy kisses half the time.
- mike loves taking pictures of his friends and captures some pulitzer-worthy shots of them
