Stephen King's IT is a weird phenomenon.. "I hate this author, I cry every time, uuhh I hate the way he writes women and that chapter, I hate it. 5/5 stars"
"I hate the movies. I have a hyper fixation on PJ and Bill Hader. Reddie yesss. They're all f*cking hot. Old spice man, holy shi*. I hate Andy, I'm dissapointed, 5/5 stars"
Im nice, but Im an asshole, my heart is big as fuck, but I hate everybody, I really don’t give a fuck, but I care sometimes, if that makes sense.
Based on everything you know about the character, do you think Eddie is as hot headed and angry as the fandom makes him out to be, or is he made out to be that way because of the 2017 adaption?
Hmmm. Hot-headed, yes. Angry, no.
In the novel, Eddie is definitely sweeter and more soft-spoken than he is in the 2017 movie, but he still cannot keep his mouth shut most of the time. The main difference is that book!Eddie is much more naive and gullible, which makes him idealistic… which in turn gets him into trouble sometimes because he speaks up when things don’t seem fair. I wouldn’t say he gets angry, though. He’s just very passionate. He wants the world to be good, so he gets frustrated with perceived injustices. He’s extremely empathetic and intuitive, which makes him more introspective. He spends more time reflecting on his feelings and the feelings and motives of those around him than most of the other characters do, but that’s something that would be very hard to get across on screen. His hot-headedness mostly comes into play during moments of adrenaline - when he’s fighting with Henry, for example, and when the group is battling IT. During those moments, he gets louder, he swears more, he eggs people on, but those moments are important in the narrative because they AREN’T typical. Eddie is very emotional, but he’s FAR from mean-spirited, and his emotions are usually not channeled into anger or annoyance. For the most part, he’s not losing his shit every five minutes, which is how he’s sometimes portrayed.
There are a lot of things Andy/Jack got right about Eddie in the 2017 film. He’s a shitty liar, he has a lot of half-true “medical facts” in his arsenal that he thinks he’s an expert on, he’s scared of his mom, and when he panics he REALLY panics. He’s super talkative and inquisitive, too. There are moments in the movie that really accurately reflect book!Eddie, imo - like when the group is at the park talking about what they each saw, a lot of the background interactions between him and Richie that are more subdued (like when they’re in Ben’s bedroom), the projector scene, and when he’s frantically running around the sewers trying to keep the group together. It’s just that those moments are more lowkey and subtle compared to a lot of the ‘comic relief’ filler-banter between him and Richie, which paints him as more angry/irritable.
One thing I’m not a big fan of in the movie is how Richie and Eddie’s banter can be construed as kind of mean-spirited, UNLESS you go into it already knowing what their relationship is like. I think that’s the main thing that has sort of falsely bled into fandom - that Eddie sees Richie as this annoying pest, wants him to shut up all the time, makes fun of him, etc. It’s sort of created this too-common and strange fandom dynamic where Richie has to be constantly wooing a perpetually annoyed Eddie, which… makes sense if it is an AU where they have never met before, or a canon divergence where they do not remember each other and Richie has to kind of chip away at Eddie’s walls all over again. But in their established dynamic in the novel, that is not the case AT ALL.
As kids, Eddie deeply admires Richie and laughs at his jokes and Voices all the time, even when they aren’t very good. He never says ‘beep beep’, except for once as an adult, and he only really seriously talks back to Richie when he thinks he’s being too mean (like when he’s making fun of Stan’s religion too much). Otherwise, it’s playful banter and half-hearted attempts to make him stop calling him Eds and saying he’s cute, despite secretly enjoying the attention. He’s just as obsessed with Richie as Richie is with him, he’s just more introspective about it, which again, is difficult to get across in a film adaptation.
Basically my point is that Eddie is emotional but not constantly angry or annoyed. He’s a very nuanced character with a lot of depth and a high capacity for empathy that does not come across very well in the movie, though Jack did a great job with what he was given. I think it’s pretty impossible to understand him completely without reading the book, but that goes for all of the characters. So I always encourage everyone to read the book, at least certain parts of it (the chapter Eddie’s Bad Break is a great place to get a lot of insight into him).
back on my bullshit with young adult losers ✌🏽😔✌🏽
Happy pride month guys 🏳️🌈❤️

Ok but cult au at some point before initiation eddie thinks the whole "i am god" shtick is just too much so he just. Leaves one night? But he couldn't find his way in the daylight with a compass and directions so ofc he gets lost even worse than the first time. After a few days (hours really) of stumbling around he starts to really regret leaving the commute in the first place. Until he finally breaks down one night, desperate, and prays. (Cont.)
(Cont.)First to God and then to Richie. Asking forgiveness and begging to go back home again. Over and over until he falls asleep. The next morning he wakes up to richie standing over him, smiling, ready to take him home. "Just like you prayed for, bambi." (And if eddie believes it a sign of divinity and not a sign that he'd never really managed to get away at all, well, whats the harm?)
Jfc I love this so much. It reminds me a lot of my quote for Bev's moodboard ("if your god is real, why doesn't he ever hold you in his arms?") and the context in which she says it, and like. I'm still half delirious right now so bear with me, but the manipulative power behind Eddie being unaware of how much control Richie has over his world that he perceives it as supernatural is probably what most excites me about cunavalas tbh. A lot of people have asked like "is Richie really god, does he actually have powers" and I honestly feel the answer to that is less important than his situational manipulation. Orchestrating things in such a way that they happen exactly as he wishes for them to. Willing things into existence by wanting them enough. Like. Idk I just feel like that's way more interesting than whether or not Richie is actually a god, because he certainly behaves like one, and what is a god but someone with control over the fate of others?
Well since you asked so nicely (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿)
Stan was raised to believe that his actions matter toward his fate. That's an important part of his religion growing up: that your actions matter and your future is not predetermined.
But that God is still all powerful. God is often as wrathful and callous as he is immaculate and loving. Your decisions matter, but how much? When your god behaves like an angry child who's grown bored of his toys and could decide your decisions don't matter at all when he brings a terrible flood or plague or fire, despite your best efforts to determine your own fate?
So maybe he just has the illusion of control over his own fate, if that's the case. Or maybe, God only allows you control until He's decided you no longer deserve it.
Or maybe He just wants you to think you have control when you never did at all.
Stan is fairly certain Richie can't really be a god, at least not how he has been raised to see God. But isn't a god just a man with more control over the fate of others than they have themselves, who gives control and takes it away when he's decided you can't be trusted with it?
Stan isn't sure he believes in god at all. He only believes in what he can see and feel. He only believes in what there is evidence to support. And he might not be sure that he believes Richie is god, but he's seen Richie decide and change the fate of others (Stan included) for his entire life. So maybe humans have had godhood misunderstood this whole time.
Or maybe the difference between a powerful man and a god is the amount of people he's able to control
hello! not-so-friendly reminder that making eddie kaspbrak dress overly feminine is extremely fucking disgusting and if you feminize him i will personally rip your liver out with my bare hands!!!!!
i understand wanting to draw male characters in feminine clothing or breaking gender roles but it’s really really gross to do that with eddie because it enforces the abuse he received from his mother!!!!
eddie’s mom convinced him he was weak and fragile so he’d keep taking the meds and feel like he needed her help to live!!! making him act feminine or wear femining things or calling him stuff like ‘fragile’ and ‘dainty’ or making him a shy, soft, crybaby who can’t stand up for himself and needs richie to help is super nasty because it’s basically proving his mom right, which is so fucked up on so many levels that i can’t even get into it here!!!!!
i’m not saying eddie can’t be soft or have moments of weakness,, and i’m not saying people shouldn’t be allowed to express themselves,, and i’m not saying boys can’t be feminine!!!
i’m saying that it’s really gross to feminize eddie specifically because of the abuse he went through,, and that you should not do it unless you want me to personally find you and cut your legs off and put them through a meat grinder!!!!!
Not only is this post wrong, but extremely sexist and plays into toxic masculinity as well. This is something we don’t talk about a lot in an mlm fandom, but it’s ALWAYS important. First of all, I want to make it clear that you are not being misogynistic if you don’t like feminine Eddie. Everyone can have their own thoughts and opinions about canon, regardless of the creators intent (isn’t that mostly what we all do?). But once you start attacking people, and threatening them for their opinions, the balance starts to get out of hand. Like, do people not realize that this is the internet? What we say on here is basically here forever (and I mean that for everyone).
But on the topic of misogyny in this post (my hands are shaking this makes me so furious): HEADCANONING EDDIE AS FEMININE IS NOT THE SAME AS HEADCANONING EDDIE AS WEAK. YOU ARE ALSO JUST AS BAD IF YOU HEADCANON EDDIE AS FEMININE JUST TO CHARACTERIZE HIM AS WEAK. BEING FEMININE IS NOT A SYNONYM FOR WEAK. In fact, (I may be bias here), there is nothing in this world that should be characterized as weak LESS than femininity. Women, feminine men, feminine people who don’t identify as either the male or female gender, and people who express femininity outwardly (even periodically), are some of the strongest people in the world. We are strong not only innately, but also because we are forced to deal with and learn to stop people who believe femininity is weakness (so thanks, I guess?).
Also, quick question, have you read the book? If you have, you may want to give it a reread. Again, this goes for everyone. (And no, you are not allowed to call me a hypocrite for asking this, you gave up that right when you posted this hateful comment online.) Even though this problem spans WAY beyond It and Eddie Kaspbrak, I’ll use him as the example: You say people feminize Eddie because of his past abuse. It is true that he was abused as a child, not only by his mother but by all accomplices in her lies. He is mentally wounded by her actions. But consider this: Eddie Kaspbrak, sitting in the hospital with his broken arm, stood up against his mother. He fucking BLACKMAILED her. He used the tactics of manipulation she taught him all his life against her. Eddie Kaspbrak, as I hope we can agree, is the strongest fucking memeber of the losers club. He is the ONLY one who stood up to his fear in this way. While the others faught a demon clown, he faught something much scarier. He fought his mother, and in doing so, himself. And he WON.
I don’t think anyone who characterizes Eddie as feminine ignores that fact. And thus, you argument is dismantled. People who see Eddie as feminine see him as such for different reasons. Maybe it’s how sensitive he is (a good thing that shouldn’t be “feminine”, but alas, the patriarchy), or how much he cares for his friends. Maybe it’s the way he views pain. Maybe it’s the way he views other characters, such as Bev, Greta, or Sally Mueller. Maybe it’s the way he kicked ass. He is feminine because he is strong. He is feminine because he cares. He is feminine because the combination of these two things makes him a perfect hero. And maybe also because sometimes we want to characterize him as wearing girly things, or shit like that. Because when it really comes down to it, it doesn’t even matter if you characterize Eddie as feminine or masculine. What matters is your own view of femininity and masculinity. Don’t play into toxic norms when you don’t have to. Men can be sensitive, as women. Women can be brave, as men. Eddie Kapsbrak is sensitive. Eddie Kaspbrak is brave. Eddie Kaspbrak is a hero. And by saying he’s not feminine as a way of saying he’s not weak, you’re right about him. He’s not weak. Your heart is the thing that is weak.
