Honestly i'm interested in potentially making an AU/headcannon where Henry Bowers has DID but not like stereotypical "oooh so spooky" DID you see in horror movies, more like an actual in depth exploration of symptoms with research to back it up. Whenever i do representation of any kind i try to be really careful with it, so if I make this i'd like to not half ass it and make sure i portray it well. I think it's an idea with lots of potential. Although personally i read cannon Henry Bowers as more BPD than anything, in truth Henry doesn't have an actual diagnosis in cannon, so you can do whatever. I think it'd be an interesting thing to explore since Henry has so much trauma and bad shit that happens to him, and an alters express purpose is to protect you from all the trauma you go through. They're made when you go through so much trauma your brain can't handle it, so it splits off into someone who can.

I think i'd enjoy trying to explore it if Henry had, say, an alter that comes out when he's forced to talk to Butch and is a lot more mild mannered and weaker to make this discipline easier to handle, and another that primarily takes over in Juniper Hills that's more childish (hence his donald duck nightlight), and maybe even one that is hypersexual after his encounter with patrick. Perhaps there might even be some resentment in the system, like one altar is more aware of reality than Henry is and loathes the horrible way he blames others while Henry himself lacks the self awareness to realize blaming minorities for his life being shit isn't okay.

Full disclosure, i'm not DID, i'm a very mentally ill person and i've stayed in psyche wards but i'm not a system. The only things i've ever been officially diagnosed with is ADHD and Epilepsy. I am, however, someone who never aims to offend when I write things, so if i end up making this an actual realized concept and you're a system i urge you to criticize me. Or if you think this is a bad idea and don't want me to do it full stop i won't bother with it. The last thing i wanna do is hurt anyone. <3

Funfact about me: the entire reason I got back into IT after so many years was because I saw the Art sharkis thirteen going on 30 au art and i became obsessed with it. I bring this up now because i just found out that thirteen going on thirty is getting a musical thats gonna premiere in september. You know what else is premiering in september? WELCOME TO DERRY. WHAT. ill make a thirteen going on 30 au of my own to celebrate when that happens, because 13 going on 30 is very special to me.

I just found out that ben hanscoms actor in it chapter 2 (jay ryan) played the beast in a modern tv adaptation of beauty and the beast and it's sending me. Is that why he got casted as ben 💀 "you know how to act like an ugly worthless weirdo with unrequited feelings for a girl out of his league that miraculously turns hot, you'll be the perfect ben.".

[princess-glassred]

I always found it SUPER weird that Ben never grew up to have an eating disorder, because he literally is the prime case to have one and he just doesn't doesn't. This isn't even a case of me thinking Stephen King should have put in representation based on xyz because it'd make the story better, this is just me pointing out that it doesn't make any sense that Ben didn't fall down pro ana pipeline at some point.

Ben grew up in a household that was unstable from the get go and lacked any control for him, even before his dad died he was a military brat that was most likely lugged around from base to base with no way to make permanent friends. Then his dad dies and everything gets all topsy turvey. His own mother basically tries to force him to eat more than he wants to for emotionally manipulative reasons, enough so that he has to bargain with her on it. He's bullied relentlessly for his weight by pretty much everyone, to such a degree its sometimes all he can think about. The book goes into great detail to explain how cumbersome it is for Ben to move around and how insecure he gets about it. He literally manifested a nightmare version of bev that said shed never love a fatty like him. He gets a fucking letter carved into his stomache for crying out loud. The book is very deliberate in telling us that when Henry killed mikes dog and was rewarded with beer, the connection between violence and affection was made very clear and he began to chase after it for years and years to come, but for some reason, Ben eating nothing but salads for months on end in a vye for revenge against an asshole track coach for being mean to him based on his weight, and then being rewarded after left no negative impact. Sure, you can argue that Ben is smarter than henry and less easy to manipulate, but eating disorders don't happen because the afflicted perspn is vain or shallow or stupid, although having low self confidence and being easily swayed certainly helps, it happens because of a lack of control and identity. You can't control much but you can control how you look and eat, so you become obsessed with that.

This is also weird when you compare it to everyone elses childhood trauma and how it affects them. Bev was coddled and worried over for so long she was easily taken advantage of by men who wanted to do that same thing. Bill stuttered so much that even as an adult with perfect speech he struggles to be totally honest with his wife or say the right thing. Richie was a target of homophobia and it shaped his act into a mysoginistic and homophobic stand up routine he didn't even write himself because he couldn't risk being truthful about anything. Stanley was so focused on forgetting about the trauma from it and moving on that when he was forced to confront it as an adult he killed himself. Mike spent so long on the outside he didn't even hesitate to accept he'd be the one to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Even Eddie started taking non prescibed addictive medication due to the childhood of relying on imaginary drugs to heal imaginary problems. Yet Ben's weight is not an issue.

Ben reminds me a lot of those gym bros who haven't had a piece of chocolate in like 3 years and if they ever did again they'd SNAP and kill someone. Idk, i just feel like its a potentially interesting theme stephen could have tackled. If i had to guess tho, Stephen probably didn't think of it because 1. knowledge of ED's has always been very skewed, especially in the 80's. Even now ppl still think only teenage girls get it. And 2. Stephen kings evident fatphobia would never allow him to see Ben's weight loss as anything less than perfectly positive. Idk, how do you guys feel about this?

over the past two months, I have been on and off working on what I consider to be my magnum opus. I have nowhere else to share him. meet Furbywise, the 4.5 foot long furby inspired by pennywise the dancing clown from Stephen King's IT. He is my bastard son

[princess-glassred]

Au where the losers and Henry swap bodies with each other so Bev is in Henry's body and and Ben is in Richie's and at first Ben's all shocked and weirded out about the girl he loved most looking like Henry but he eventually comes to realize that he does truly love Bev for her personality and kindness. Yeah she's in the body of his bully that stabbed him and he's got rotted teeth and smells bad and her hair looks weird, but the biggest thing that was wrong with henry bowers was his bigoted nature. All of that shit can be overlooked so long as bev is the same. Then, in an ironic twist of fate, he tries to kiss her and Bev turns him down. Her reasoning? "You look like Richie now and I'm sorry, i CANNOT get past that. The idea of kissing Richie is just too weird!".

WAY TO GO FUJOS YOU RUINED MY NEPHEWS INNOCENCE!!! >:(

Richie Tozier is definitely the kind TV obsessed slightly delulu kid that he would have tons of elaborate day dreams every now and then starring him and his friends as the main characters of various TV shows he watched. Bill will be trying to tell the losers abour some important thing that happened last week but Richie is too busy thinking about Charlie's angels with him, Bill, and Stan as the angels, Eddie as Bosley and Bev as Charlie to understand. Sometimes he'll fanatasize about being a british Mr. Belvedere ass butler in charge of taking care of some rich widowers precocious young children and his accent is just as awful as it is in real life. He also has his own imaginary sitcom in his head called "Richie's house" that's basically just white fresh prince of bel air. Richie has reached peak maladaptive day dream.

[princess-glassred]

From the collection of Mike Hanlon: A recovered painting from the ransacked palace of Derry depicting Prince Henry of Derry and Princess Gretta of Bangor, the last rulers of the country before they were violently deposed. The date on the back reads "August 5th, 1770", which many historians have noted was the royal couples wedding day.

"Many historians have taken a great interest in the young couple, how couldn't they? It was their cruel and untimely reign that led to the down fall of Derry's monarchy and it's subsequent absorbtion into the americas. Their arranged marriage was as politically charged as every other arranged marriage of their day, although most people would say their marriage was less lovey dovey as many would like to say. Gretta and Henry married when Henry was only 15 and Gretta a mere 14, as child marriages were common at the time, althought they failed to consumate their marriage until both were into their adulthood due to various factors. They'd known each other from only a year prior to this, having met at the princes 14th birthday party, but their arrangement was rather cold and proffessional. Gretta had no interest in being queen, but as the only daughter of the house of Keene her father sought to give Gretta the most splendid arranged marriage he could find. She's actually wearing the gown her father had bribed her with to go through with the marriag in her wedding portrait.

Henry felt much the same about Gretta, but after his first choice, noblelady Beverly, rejected his advances and his father became smitten with how wealthy bangor was in comparison to Derry, Gretta became who he was stuck with. They shared one emotionless kiss on their wedding day, and their romantic life stayed like that for the rest of their time together. Gretta and Henry were not the worst match, although they had a lot more differences and than similarities. Henry was raised with the expectation of a militaristic outlook on ruling and self discipline, almost driving himself to the point of insanity with his obssesive people pleasing and attention to deatil. Gretta was lazy as all could be though, preferring to skip political meetings and lounge around in her bed eating sweets or arranging meetings with her royal designer to discuss new dresses she could make for her. Henry spent more time at their summer palace with his friends or obsessing over politics than talking to Gretta. Their relationship was put even further to the test when King Butch unexpectedly passed away and handed the country over to them only a month after they got married. In spite of their differences though, a fondness did grow between Henry and Gretta, as they got older you could see the pair walking along the hallways together, gossiping and giggling about affairs of the court. They'd play chess together, dance in the royal ballroom, lounge in the palace gardens with their heads in each others laps, and even on the rare occaision Henry would do grand gestures of love for Gretta, like commisioning an artist to make an elaborate marble statue of them together. Perhaps they weren't a great couple, but they did find companionship with each other, perhaps enough that you might even call them trusted friends.

They had many children, and ruled with an iron fist for 27 years before the revolution, and each one of those 27 years was worse for the people of Derry than the last. Gretta's haughty and spoiled personality made her a flagrant spender who would waste away the royal treasurey on meaningless pleasures like sweets and gowns and then convince Henry to raise the taxes more and more whenever they'd run out. Henry on the other hand established cruel and unusual punishments for all who defied him, refusing to listen to advisors unless they treated him with the uptmost love and respect. Henry couldn't handle criticism, and Gretta didn't care enough about what anyone thought to internalize anyone who told her differently than what she knew. Together their mutual disgust for the very people they ruled made Derry a horrible place to live, enough so that it was almost inevitable what happened during the revolution. Many historians are still not sure how to feel about the royal couple, they were children when they were handed the world on a string, but their cruelty and wicked hearts made them terrible rulers at any age. They were not the sole reason derry fell, but they were the main factor and will be remembered as such for many years to come.

I'm excited to be publishing my research on this bizzare period of time, and i will be looking forward to sharing with you the rise, fall, and eventual death of Derry. I have a special connection with this story, as one of my ancestors played a big part in the revolution and the documentation of everything that happened, ao i'll be carrying on his legacy. Stay tuned, more is on the way!" -Mike Hanlon.

Here we are, the first part of my historical royalty AU. If i choose to continue this (and i probably will) this will detail the downfall, drama and political goings on of the fictional royalty of Derry. There's a lot of lore i have planned for this au, and i plan on showing it through paintings, letters, and other media, all revealed from the perspective of Mike Hanlon, so i ernestly hope you stick around to read it. I have a strong interest in monarchies so i get to use all my knowledge in this au, so itll be mad fun to make. I really pushed myself with this drawing so i hope you like it, it took me 14 hours in IBISpaint on my phone with a stylus. There's a few references in this drawing to real life royalty in this drawing, like how the medal henry wears as a B for Bowers in pearls, and that's a references to a piece of jewlery Anne Boleyn always wore. Or how the tiara Gretta is wearing is based off of a romanov tiara. Acrually Gretta and Henry in this AU are heavily based off of Marie Antionette and King Henry the eighth, so they're kinda references in of themselves. The other characters are gonna show up at some point, so even if you ain't a bowers gang girly, there should be some stuff here you'll like. That's all folks, hope you guys are interested in this AU ;).

Can I get your discord server link? What do yall talk about? I’m trying to make friends.

I don't have discord, i stopped using it cause i kept fighting with people on there. Idk what it is about discord but it kinda brings out the worst with me and i stopped using it for that reason. My DM's on tumblr is always open tho, i mostly just talk about IT a lot.

[princess-glassred]

In my personal opinion, I think Sonia straight up groomed Eddie. I don't mean in a sexual way, cause you can groom a kid in other ways than just sex. I think Sonia just purposefully crossed boundry after boundry until their relationship became less mother and son and more wife and husband. There's a thing called emotional incest that's basically this exact concept and you see it in a lot of #boymoms on tiktok. Eddie was unlucky enough to look exactly like his dad, and Sonia's attachment issues from his death and Eddie's subsequent illness made her view the relationship with an unhealthy eye. She couldn't save Frank from cancer but she could save little eddie from his illnesses, and she became addicted to the feeling of love and gratitude she got from it. Eddie and Sonia's relationship is even more messed up than the Munchausens. Sonia hugs too tightly. She kisses his cheek too long. They snuggle too often to be normal. Eddie is simultaneously a baby and an adult to her. It's almost like Frank had narrowly survived his cancer and Eddie was the one who died in his place. This is why Eddie was so primed to date Myra even though he didn't really wanna marry her. He was used to being the unwitting husband, even from a young age.

[princess-glassred]
