He gets in such a good hit, I’ve honestly never been prouder,,,,, I love my brave son Stanley Uris

This made me think of Brennan Lee Mulligan’s wonderful College Humor Sketch. A funny way to spread an important message.

[stan-the-trash-man]

Stan’s Mom: So when am I gonna get some grandkids?

Stan: It would be irresponsible for me to reproduce

Stan: Also I am fucking two men

Stan: But, who knows, let’s see what happens

[stan-the-trash-man]

me: ahh ok fine i’ll dip my toes into writing IT fanfic and i’ll do some cute reddie stuff me, a day later after discovering that streddie exists: ah fuck this wasn’t in my horoscope but i guess i’m a slut for streddie now anyway i love these boyfriends and i think we can’t ignore that stan totally has a chaotic side too with his two enabler boyfriends who never know when something is a bad idea. your blog is A+.

Whenever I pop onto Tumblr and find that I’ve converted someone else it just makes me so happy

Nothing in this fandom has been more misrepresented than Richie Tozier’s grades

Imagine Richie telling the story of how Eddie first told him he loved him. He’s doing a Netflix special and going a bit off script because he knows this is the one they’re recording and he wants Eddie to hear this story from his perspective when they watch it together in a few weeks. Their wedding is only a few weeks away, and he wants the family to have some context for his vows.

Richie had said it accidentally on the first date because he already knew he loved him

Because duh,

His freckles made him have mini heart attacks!

So Richie had said it first, watched with a smile as Eddie gaped at him, fork stuck halfway to his mouth.

Richie never really expected to hear it back; at least not for awhile. Because Eddie likes to be sure about things like that, and Richie knows that. And he respects it. So he doesn’t expect to hear it.

But that doesn’t mean Eddie hasn’t been an absolute idiot about it. Saying stuff like “Do you really...?”, which, of course, has Richie finishing it with, “Fuck your mom on the regular? I thought you would never ask!”

So they’re on a “date”.

Which is really just them sitting on the couch watching SNL every Saturday, because those are Richie’s friends damn it and he’s going to support them even when they’re doing shit at their job. And Eddies laying next to him, head on his shoulder all perfect and couple-y.

Richie’s chuckling at a skit when Eddie taps his arm. He looks over immediately — because have you seen his almost-husband? He’s fucking stunning, there’s no way Richie would miss a chance to look at him — and Eddie smiles, all soft and gooey. He says, “I need to tell you something.”

And Richie’s freaking out — because here, on their couch, watching SNL? — but he nods. Can’t tear his eyes away from his almost-husband, even though he can hear Kate breaking and he would really love to see that. (But he wants to hear his almost-husband a million times more).

Eddie leans in real close, glancing from his eyes to his lips like they’re in fucking high school, and smiles a mischievous smile that both fills Richie’s stomach with dread and butterflies.

And whispers, “I fucked your mom.”

Richie half laughs, half sobs, and kisses the shit out of him

(Eddie hits him, laughing and says “you weren’t supposed to find that cute, moron!”

“But you’re so cute, Eds! Cutest man in the world!”

Eddie laughs, breathless, before asking in a whispy, joking voice, “Can ‘I fucked your mom’ be our always?”)

Honestly, I’m so suprised that the Duffers’ only just confirmed a gay character, considering they chose Indiana as the location for the series. Indiana—especially in the 80s—was (okay, honestly it still is) terrifying for people who aren’t cis, white, heterosexual and Christian (or some divinity of it).

My mom told my that driving through Indiana in the late 80s, early 90s was one of the most terrifying experiences her twenty year old self had ever gone through. Every single house she passed had a cross stuck into the lawn. They were often accompanied by signs promoting anti-semetic, anti-queer, or just racist groups. My Jewish mother drove though dozens of towns like this, fearful for her life.

Her car ended up breaking down in the middle of ass-nowhere. When someone finally pulled over to help her, she quoted the Bible and praised the lord like she was about to step through heavens pearly gates. She got a free ride to the nearest tow station and a discount. I don’t think my mom would ever be grateful for being forced into two years of Catholic school if she didn’t have this experience.

Indiana is terrifying. Being outside of their norm was a death sentence. Being a small town in the middle of Indiana, Hawkins should be the most conservative, narrow minded town you can think of. While we definitely see that (and see Steve stepping out of the comfortable narrow mindedness that he’s been surrounded with his entire life), I think the addition of Robin being the first openly gay characters in the show will give the Duffers a lot of opportunities to show how terrifying being queer in a conservative area was in the 80s.

(Or they will just completely ignore that and keep making 80s references ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

do u ever think about the scene in ch1 just before they all see the blood in Bev’s bathroom, when they leave Richie outside to be lookout

all the movie canon evidence we have points to the fact that, at this point, Richie still hasn’t seen anything supernatural. he doesn’t believe everyone else when they tell him about the blood either, “can only virgins see this stuff?” etc

so... to him, the whole bathroom-cleaning thing is absurd. all he knows is that he only has a desperate handful of friends in the first place and every last one of them is using this imaginary clown bullshit to ditch him, and, okay, maybe he did spew that joke about seeing a lot of Bev at the quarry but does it really warrant them telling him to shut up, over and over again? he knows he’s loud, he knows he’s annoying, but he keeps on cracking wise in the hopes that maybe this next one will make them laugh like they used to, before Georgie, and give him a reason to stay in the group.

“Do what you always do,” Stan says, like Richie’s a compulsive tic, or a chore. “Start talking.”

“It is a gift...” Heard by no-one, a gift unreceived, and defeat has him slumped over the handles of his bike. Watching them ditch him for half the entire afternoon, the assholes, blatantly singled out so they could all go spend time in a girl’s room.

And... oh fuck, that’s probably it, isn’t it? They don’t want Richie around when they’re with girls. Because they’re all thirteen now, and when you’re thirteen your eyes start to move in different ways, like bees finding a new exciting route to pollen. And what if, then, with this awareness, the others are starting to recognize the heavy honey drip of Richie’s eyes as he looks in all the wrong places.

And they come back outside after taking ages, all of them talking shit about blood and clowns like Richie’s an idiot, even Eddie, which really hurts the most not only because the mystery of what they were all really doing up that fire escape is eating at Richie like termites in the soft wood of a carved-up bridge, but also because Eddie’s the first to call bullshit on all the wild stories Richie makes up, which only makes him try harder, which, which, which,

Which is why he rides around them in circles. They all have to look at him at least once, that way, calling them liars and virgins and riding in circles because the next inevitable ditching might not hurt so bad if he makes them all mad first instead, and it’s harder to get kicked out of a circle if you’re the one drawing it.

idk man that scene makes me sad about little asshole Richie

It's funny to think that Stan was worried about being left behind, Eddie didn't want to walk out of neibolt alone but at the end the one alone is...

[stan-the-trash-man]

posting this here bc it made me cry

[stan-the-trash-man]

Richie smells like dollar store cologne and cigarettes

Beverly smells like strawberry kiwi shampoo and mint (to hide the cigarettes)

Ben smells like honey and new books

Mike smells like sweet grass and cedar wood

Bill smells like pencil led and coconut shampoo

Stan smells like clean clothes and evergreen trees

Eddie smelles like non-sented detergent, dollar store cologne, mint, honey, cedar wood, pencil led, and evergreen trees (which is better than hand sanitizer and fabreeze)

[stan-the-trash-man]
