a redraw of an artwork for one of my favourite reddie (IT) fics of all time ‘the great unsnappening of derry, maine, circa 2016’ by @iguessyouregonnamissthepantyraid
i reread this fic recently and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it (again) and i felt like it deserved an updated drawing
i have a headcanon that when richie gets particularly lovesick, he'll make little doodles and then throw the pages in their fireplace, or put it in the shredder afterward. one time eddie barged in without knocking while richie was doing this, and richie ended up throwing his entire notebook out the window. stan makes fun of him when richie has to explain why he doesnt have notes for chemistry anymore.

I am tired of this place, I hope people change
I need time to replace what I gave away
And my hopes, they are high, I must keep them small
Though I try to resist I still want it all (x)
I love the idea that the losers crossed paths, but didn't remember each other before reuniting in Derry. I especially love the idea that eddie went to a trashmouth performance in New York.
