Gonna take a lot to drag me away from Reddie

She/Her. No homophobes, biphobes, racists, exclusionists allowed ❤

[takealottodragmeawayfromreddie]

if ur so passionate about hating the movie reddie how about u actualy interact with and support novel/miniseries reddie and interact w fan content lmao,, alot of movie fans are super open to 90s reddie stuff but i can't say the same about the other way around,,, always just snobbish and rude, acting like the book isn't a coke fueled nonsense rant, you're not better than people who like the movies

This is so random, all I can say is touch grass lmao

[takealottodragmeawayfromreddie]

I so genuinely don't want to be a bitch and please don't take this the wrong way, I think all fandom interpretations deserve to exist, but on a personal note, I hate, hate, HATE how the movies changed the way people perceive and write reddie. I want my cute old men from the 90s fluffy yaoi back, pleaseeeeeee

[takealottodragmeawayfromreddie]

i don't even go here anymore, but how about a 1990!Reddie fic where Eddie survives and they're ready to get their shit together but Richie is HIV positive??? And Eddie has to work through that because he's still an hypochondriac with internalized homophobia and back then you didn't even have to be an hypochondriac for HIV to scare the shit out of you??? What then? Huh? What then?

Hey, everybody. I'll try to make this quick. In case you haven't heard, I'm dealing with a broken tooth that I need to get extracted as soon as possible. Well, given my dad's mental health issues, we don't have an income right now, which prevents me from getting not only that, but also any sort of healthcare. In addition to that, I suspect I might be dealing with some sort of gynecological condition that I won't detail here (but you can ask me if you want) and I need to get checked as soon as possible, since there is a long history of issues in the women of my family.

So I'm asking for donations through either ko-fi or Paypal (you can ask me privately through PM). I hate to do this, but I'm afraid is my only hope. Besides, my dad requires lots of constant medication we can't afford. So any help will be well-received, even if it's just a single dollar.

I'm also willing to write fics for wwdits, good omens and basically anything at this point, if I can get a proper grasp of the concept. You can message me about that as well.

This website has been incredibly generous with me in the past and I'm so grateful for all of you. If you can't donate, please just signal boost, I need this to get to as many people as possible, because I can't take the pain anymore.

[anxietycheesecake]

Well, it happened again

My depressed dad tried to kill himself again. Almost succeeded this time; he threw himself in front of a car. He's our only source of income and is now in the hospital. We'll have to pay medical bills, new meds and also ran out of food.

I'm also depressed since I recently turned 25 and I haven't done anything with my life. I feel useless, worthless, unwanted and can barely leave my bed. But what worries me is that my mom is going through all of this on an empty stomach.

So straight to the point: here's my kofi. Anything you can send will help at this point. dm me for my PayPal if that's more comfortable for you.

Thank y'all for your support. I'm so sorry I can't even finish my stupid wips.

[anxietycheesecake]

I hate doing this, but I need help

Some of you might know my dad is mentally ill. He tried to take his own life a couple times this year and now he's not going to work while they regulate his medication. His company usually gives us money to help us go by, though is rarely enough to support a family of three. That's why I'm always asking for donations or people to commission me.

Today they were supposed to gives us a small check, but they decided to move it to Friday. No one told us until this morning, so we couldn't manage our money better to make it for two more days. We have run out of food. My dad can't take his meds on an empty stomach and I'm getting lightheaded, since I haven't gotten a meal since last night. I also got an ED, so it's extremely important that I eat no matter what.

Please, anything you can send us will help. I'm trying to get a job, but it's not easy, since my health isn't the best. I don't know how I'm going to survive, I'm extremely weak right now. Please signal boost and donate anything you can. It doesn't have to be a great donation, just a couple of dollars to make ends meet and buy food.

This is my kofi: https://ko-fi.com/n0989

If you'd rather do it through paypal, send me a DM.

If you want to commission me to write you something, my fandoms are Good Omens, Smiling Friends and What We Do In The Shadows. I'll write anything at this point.

Al and Sophie talking big time about keeping their intimate life private but literally everyone knows when they have sex because they have a sex song that they literally spend the entire day singing "quietly", thinking no one can hear them.

Them the entire day: 🎶we're gonna have sex tonight. It's gonna be cool, it's gonna be nice. I will bring the condoms, you can bring the fun, cause you and I are having sex tonight🎶

Someone the next morning (probably Katia): so... how was last night?

Them: :o

Stath just panics and avoids Sophie for a week.

I need help to afford my studies and feeding my family

Hey, Cheesecake here. I know most people around here are aware of my situation (my dad's illness, our debt, my own disability...), but right now I really need help. It doesn't matter if it's a small donation or commissioning me to write you some niche nsft, anything will help right now.

My dad's been sick for a while. Depression, panic attacks, kidney stones, he seems to have it all. A few years back, we were the caregivers of a disabled elder who lived with us and needed her own space in the house (due to her dementia and loss of bladder control). We simply couldn't have her in our living room. So my dad's mother (who was always abusive to him, who is responsible for most of his mental health issues and who tricked us out of my grandad's inheretance) offered to help us afford a home with enough rooms for all of us. She literally swore on my grandad's grave she would help.

Of course she didn't. Her own issues grew to the point she was almost physically violent against my mother and me, and due to the fact we depended on her to pay the bills, we couldn't do anything about it. We just took her abuse until she decided to walk away one day, claiming to hate us and only wanting to help my dad (who she still told to kill himself if he felt like it, during a depressive episode)

Despite the debt (both from housing and medical bills), we got an agreement with the agency. We could pay, though it wouldn't be easy. Then the pandemic happened, my dad's work temporarly closed and we were evicted. Literally three days before the date they would throw us out the street, my dad's company offered us a place (very, very shitty, I can make another post about it if you want) to live for as long as we were paying our debt.

But my dad's entire salary goes to that debt. We don't see a penny and are surviving solely on food tickets they don't even give us sometimes. We can't even afford shampoo, because the few dollars we get are for my dad's meds (that he literally needs to function). We're also dependant on him, since my house doesn't even have a door and someone always has to be here, because it's in a very dangerous neighborhood.

This is why I'm always asking for money and here's what I need the most help for. Recently, I got into a very exclusive scholarship program. 50% off, three months and a diploma on marketing, the most demanded profession in my country. It's a great opportunity, not only because it's a growing area with lots of work, but also because I just can't do any job. My body is too weak and my anxiety too bad. I worked in retail for a month and my body literally gave up on me. My legs and back never turned back to normal.

Of course I'm looking for other jobs, but it's more of the same and employers just don't take people without studies. This is quite the desperate situation and in three months it'll all be different, hopefully. My boyfriend is helping as much as he can, but he's not free from problems either and I don't want to depend on him. It scares me to depend on anyone.

I need help. We can't do this on our own. So please, if you have even just one dollar, it will mean the world to me. You don't have to donate if you don't want to or don't trust a stranger on the internet; I can write you something. Writing commisions have saved my ass a million times.

Please, any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I'll never forget.

TL/DR: my dad is chronically ill, I'm disabled myself, we're paying debt and surviving on food tickets that aren't garanteed either. I need help to support my family and study a career with massive opportunities in a school that does a lot to help you succeed.

Pals, I need about 85 usd before Saturday or I'll get kicked out of the program and have yet another debt. I really, really need quick cash. Please, please, please, donate anything you can and signal boost.

[anxietycheesecake]

Of course if I could achieve the goal of 250 usd and pay the whole thing so I never have to worry about this again would be lovely, but I know that's a lot of money, so just affording this first month would be great.

Everyone helping is lovely, you'll never know how grateful I am to have you. The second I land a job, please send me proof of any donation and I'll do everything I can to give it back. This means the world to me.

My dad's suicide attempt medical bills have left us on negative numbers. If we don't get even a few dollars, we won't be able to afford food till next Friday. The fridge is already empty, he can't take his meds on an empty stomach. Please signal boost

Ko-fi

If you'd rather use paypal, please PM me for the info. Any amount counts, we're desperate.

[takealottodragmeawayfromreddie]

Signal boost <3

My dad is mentally ill, he tried to take his own life and we need financial help

My dad's been ill for years now. We lost our home because of that and he is the only one with a job, which he hasn't attended to in months. We can't make the ends meet, my mother and I share the same pair of shoes and, a couple days ago, our shower broke down again. We can't even take showers now. We ran out of money for food and the meds he needs to remain functional after a very recent suicide attempt. My period is most likely coming in a few days and we can't even afford pads.

Please, if you can, signal boost and donate to my kofi. Don't get me wrong, our situation is always bad and we always need extra help, but this is more extreme than anything we've ever dealt with. Even just a dollar will make a great difference for us.

[anxietycheesecake]

Life isn't treating me too nicely and I need economic help

I hate to do this here. I feel it makes me look like a scammer and of course I won't blame anyone for believing that. Rest assured that if you want to commision me to write you whatever you like best, I will take the offer without thinking. I don't want charity if I can have it otherwise, but I can't afford refusing donations.

My dad is very sick. He's depressed, suicidal and his kidney is failing. Last week he tried to kill himself and now he's in a facility as he gets better. He is the only source of income because getting a job is literally impossible right now, we live in a dangerous neighborhood and he can't be left unsupervised. He hasn't worked in months and we don't have a single friend of family member who can help us. We lost our house last year and had to move to the worst place possible so we wouldn't be homeless.

It's a nightmare, I don't know if I'm going to eat today or the next day or the day after that. Every single week is like that and I'm so tired. My mom and I share the same pair of shoes, all of her clothes have holes in them, we're living on pocket change and ran out of it. We barely could get food for our cat and she hasn't gone to the vet in years.

Please, please, this is a desperate situation and it's not even a punctual one, it's my everyday life since before the pandemic started (then it only got worse). I'm not asking you to signal boost if it makes you worried, but if you can, please consider commisioning me or donating to my ko-fi. Anything will be better than nothing and I'll be forever grateful.

I watch IT as a comedy because its most iconic character is a clown and it still managed to make of the fanbase the biggest clowns ever.

[im-the-ineffable-dumbass]

Mark Cohen's new documental is looking great.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

fuck, marry, kill but instead it’s

get them randomly assigned as your lab partner for a whole semester, get trapped with them on a broken elevator for ten hours, and they’re your employee trainer for your new job at McDonalds

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

the important rule to this version is that no matter who is with you, you HAVE to be stuck in the elevator for the full ten hours. I don’t care if you’re in there with Thor himself. You can’t get out.

[petepepsi]

new ask game: send three characters and i’ll tell you which i’d rather have

• get randomly assigned as your lab partner for a whole semester,

• get trapped with on a broken elevator for ten hours

• get as my employee trainer for my new job at McDonalds

[takealottodragmeawayfromreddie]

Me, knowing that It absolutely sucked but absolutely loving (most of) the actors/characters (not necessarily Andy's version of the characters but still): Yeah I love It...

I've grown more and more disappointed since I first watched it lol

[takealottodragmeawayfromreddie]

Y'all brainwashed the shit out of me to a point I left the theater after IT chapter two thinking "omg such a good movie" and having feelings about it.

My dumb manipulated ass literally forced itself to cry at a mom joke and I wrote fanfiction in the bus.

And I can't be the only one because before and recently after I watched the film all I could see was everyone going like "Angle Maraschino invented gays" and now we're all on the same page, ranting eternally about what a shit show that film was.

[ojangel]

the bottom line of what went wrong with Reddie is that book!Richie would never have fallen in love with the Eddie that was depicted in Chapter 2

[bad-end-iv]

FUCKING YES

[cardiganloser]

Someone explain I'm confusion

[sloppybitchreddie]

Basically Eddie’s character was pretty butched in chap 2 like Mike’s was in chap 1. Could go on a rant about this but some points:

1) everyone who hates soft eddie can cry about this, but in book eddie is by canon a soft boy, unlike the movie

2) he IS a spitfire still. Book Eddie killed Bowers, was the first to fight against the monster cookies in the reunion, and was the person who led them in and out of of the sewers (expect for after he died). Unlike the movie, where he constantly froze, book eddie was the first of the losers to spring into action when it mattered.

3) movie eddie is constantly shutting down richie. And book eddie DID banter a lot with richie, it was their thing they banter. But he was also the one who laughed THE MOST at his jokes. And the hardest. And would constantly try to hide his smile when telling richie to shut up.

4) book eddie was the first one to say beep beep richie when richie made a joke too far. He would laugh the hardest at richie, but was also the person who kept him in check the most (book richie honestly crosses the line a lot, movie richie doesnt).

There’s more, and a lot has to do with his character alone. But those are some examples.

[freshparking-deactivated2022020]

Adding onto this.

There was a genuine empathetic and sincere connection between Richie and Eddie. There’s a scene in the book where they’re alone reading comics in Eddie’s attic and Richie is just telling Eddie about all his goals and dreams for the future and Eddie’s just dazed by how amazing Richie is. They’re REALLY close and in the movie, it seems like Eddie can barely STAND Richie.

Richie KNOWS Eddie’s potential for bravery. The most sincere part of Chp2 was the “you’re braver than you think” which was immediately ruined by its connection to fat mom jokes again. Richie doesn’t need to add a punchline to every nice thing he says, and he believes so much in Eddie, and he’s endeared by Eddie’s attempts to seem “weak” while also ignoring them. Ie; after Eddie fights the Eye in the sewer Richie literally HUGS him and is like god I love this boy 

Richie is the second in command to the Losers. He’s Bill right hand man and that means he gives a FUCK about the group as a whole. It makes sense he would be in love with hands down the BRAVEST and most selfless of the Losers re: Eddie. Eddie who doesn’t need to be told to risk his neck for his friends. As mentioned above, we see Eddie overcoming his fear constantly for the sake of his friends. Richie no doubt LOVES that.

I definitely think their banter was lost in translation because in the movie it just comes off as borderline antagonism when really in the book it’s extremely flirty since a lot of it is often accented with Richie calling Eddie cute, “Eddie my Love” or “Eds” (which in the book ONLY Richie called Eddie Eds....I hate that they changed that because it was such an intimate RichieandEddie only thing). 

The Real Eddie Kaspbrak would NEVER have let Richie nearly have his face ripped off by spider Stan. The REAL Eddie Kaspbrak wouldn’t just flounder on the rocks while Bev gets pulled under the water and everyone else dives in but him. The REAL Eddie Kaspbrak wouldn’t be constantly irritated by his friends, by Richie. Eddie’s a soft, loving, compassionate character whose loyalty prevails his abuse and is the one healing gift from his friends. Eddie is THE most loyal, THE most loving of the Losers, and if ur gonna look me in the eye and insinuate that Richie Tozier isn’t in love with him for those reasons? You’re a liar and don’t understand Richie Tozier or Eddie Kaspbrak at all.

Another thing: Richie knows Eddie’s potential and encourages him towards it. Myra encouraged him away from it. Eddie’s storyline is about overcoming emotional abuse and trauma THROUGH being soft, through just knowing at the end of the day, the people who love you are worth everything. It had nothing to do with him finding out “he can be brave after all!!!” just honestly fuck Chp2 and fuck Chp2 Eddie specifically.
