!Losers road-trip headcanons!

Mike and Richie switch off driving. Mike drives the majority of the time but when he gets tired Richie takes the wheel. Because of this most of the time that Richie is driving everyone is asleep. And Richie’s an asshole attention whore so this usually ends with him swerving and break checking on an empty freeway to wake them all up.

The one time Beverly was driving she got pulled over (because she was speeding and swerving while messing with Eddie), the officer thought she was drunk and asked her to walk in a straight line on the road divider. She did a perfectly straight cartwheel over it. She did end up getting a speeding ticket.

Before they leave Eddie makes everyone a list of what to pack and signs off on them after looking at their luggage. Stan hates this because he’s the one the organizes and packs up the van. Eddie tells people to pack way too much unnecessary shit.

Bill makes them stop every few hours if he sees a cool site to take pictures (they’re usually references for scenery in his books). “Mike, Mike! Pull over!! Take the exit! Please pleeeease. I need a picture with the ominous light!!”

*the picture

Ben gets really carsick so he usually gets shotgun so that he can look out the windshield. He often tries to play his music because “shotgun gets control of the radio guys c’mon”which is typically met with ‘you’re only there on a technicality Ben!’ or ‘nobody wants to listen to the nkotb man.’

Stan maps out the roots and this way he’s able to assure that they can hit all the stops he wants to go to. “Oh hey wow look, it’s the world’s largest rocking chair! Maybe we should take a little pit stop?” They all know what he’s doing but they always go along with it.

Without fail every time Mike sees a haystack or hay bale he’ll go “Hey!” and point everyone falls for it and he finds it hilarious.

love how we all collectively decided that stan was the first person richie ever came out to

[reddje]

losers fic writers what are ur losers middle names since they don’t have canonical last names 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

i’ve been writing losers club / it fics for seven years so i’ve had plenty of time to perfect their middle names so here they are

eddie

eddie’s middle name when i write him is always isaiah. it’s biblical, it’s pretty, and i just think eddie’s mom is very much about pretty perfect things and edward isaiah kaspbrak is just a pretty little name

richie

alwaysssss wentworth! always! richard wentworth tozier is so ingrained into my mind that it’s almost canon to me. i just think wentworth and maggie are the type to name their kids after themselves and when richie was born they were like okay cute, little boy, dads name as his middle name.

stan

i think stanley asher is so cute and it’s also a popular name in hebrew and it goes well with his last name so i do love it. truth be told i did do a little digging when i was 14 and needing a middle name for stan and asher was one of the names that kept showing up on popular jewish names websites so it kinda just stuck w me. stanley asher uris ur so famous to me <3

bill

william henry 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ william henry denbrough 🤷‍♀️ and georgie’s middle name is james, even though he’s the only one with a canonical middle name 😭

mike

mikes middle name is william bc it’s his dads name , but i also think he could’ve been named “michael leroy hanlon” after his grandfather. i tend to go with william though !

ben

benjamin alexander!!! so so cutie pie just like he is.

bev

beverly grace just screams at me idk. i just feel like her dad would’ve picked it, and she hates it, but richie found out about it and calls her by it all the time and it’s grown on her hearing him call her it. (bc they’re bffs)

[wolftozier]

sorry that art made me think about the losers sharing clothes and now im like. foaming at the mouth. mikey and bill lose all their jackets in the winter bc everyone steals theirs. bev and eddie have half their closet made up of richie's shirts however they still continue to tell richie he has a terrible sense in fashion. stan letting richie borrow his kippot. ben and mikey share belts and hats. eddie plays along with being bev's dress up doll sometimes. neither bev or richie or even mike when he grows his hair out too remember hair ties so the other losers carry them around on their wrists. richie's stolen three pairs of ben's sweatpants just in this past week. socks dont have owners they just float around between everyone. yeah.

[trashm0utheds]

rating the Losers and their dancing skills (my personal hc)

1. Mike - pure talent, charmingly and effortlessly moves well with the music, leaves the Losers stunned

2. Eddie - pure talent too, he's very graceful, the rest are surprised by how adorable he looks when he moves his hips to pop songs (cheerleader Eddie YAAAS)

3. Bev - what can't she do?

4. Stan - he may be subtle about it but he's not awkward at all, play a song that he likes and people are shocked with it because wow

5. Ben - adorably awkward and tries his best to keep up with the rhythm, lets Bev guide him in the dance floor

6 and 7. Bill and Richie - cannot dance for shit!!! they'll just tangle their legs with each other's and fall on the floor

[t4tozier]

okay guys you’ve forced my hand

losers club fursonas

richie - brown bear. duh. or a hyena :)

eddie - stoat! little guys with too much energy. have y’all seen that video of the stoat on the trampoline? that’s eddie

bev - i’m picturing glamrock chica from fnaf but that doesn’t count so. sabertooth tiger. i think she deserves it

bill - grey wolf. pack leader <3 or a golden retriever

mike - clouded leopard. that’s the one that’s very paws right? idk it’s just vibes

ooh or a stag. i think i like that better

ben - otter or beaver :)

stan - possum. get it. ‘cause they p. ‘cause they play dead

or an african grey parrot

[thelosers-club]

headcanon that the losers exchange gifts in december just for the fun of it. richie always gives gag gifts and eddie is always complaining about it, bev and ben always put all their thought and care into their gifts, usually ben buys the losers a book that he spent awhile picking out, but nobody besides mike and eddie actually reads them. bev and bill just buys them action figures and comic books, which they all appreciate. stan makes everyone a card and just puts a couple dollars in them, and mike and eddie just buy clothes because they can never think of anything else

[the-losers-are-still-losing]

the losers do powerpoint night

stan goes first, his presentation is titled ‘the losers as bird species’. they’re all really niche species and nobody really understands what he’s saying, but his reasons are really accurate and he finds himself pretty funny.

bill is next, his is short but sweet and simply describes his ideas for the losers’ next days out. everybody gets excited discussing plans, dates, similar alternatives, and eventually all of the ideas he puts forward do happen (and they all enjoy them very much).

ben and eddie have collaborated on theirs to create ‘the losers as disney characters’. unbeknownst to them until now, ben has spent painstaking hours photoshopping each of the losers’ faces onto each of their assigned characters, which everybody finds incredibly funny. it’s also highly obvious that ben was the one to assign ariel to bev, whilst it was eddie who chose vanellope von schweetz for richie.

mike presents his top five derry conspiracy theories, which isn’t actually as boring as you’d expect from the title. he presents each and every point with genuine detail and has clearly done his research, but the theories themselves are so ridiculous you can’t help but laugh. he’s fully aware of this and makes it clear that of course he doesn’t seriously believe in them (okay, maybe one or two of them).

bev and richie’s joint project finishes the night (after having begged everybody to let them go last, convinced that theirs is a high note to end on). the duo present ‘the losers as our favourite memes’, and proceed to spam their eyes with the most chaotic tik toks, textposts and cursed images. they both claim they worked very very hard on this and that they should be taken completely seriously, but their powerpoint actually takes the longest to present since they can’t help but crease up laughing for a full minute every time they change the slide.

[birdblorbo]

If you sit there and try to tell me every single one of the losers didn’t have a crush on Bill, you are wrong. Objectively and subjectively you are wrong.

[kittykaspbrak]

Modern day losers au where they have a famous joint tiktok account and they film skits and random shit they do

Like they do one of those mini music videos and Stan’s the camera man but he was a musically expert so he does all the good shakes to the beat and everything

They also do one of those blind/deaf/mute bake a cake challenges in teams and see which team makes the best cake

[greenpidge101]

hc that richies teeth r a mess and went totally hates it cause it makes him look bad and richie gets braces and hates them but he gets the brightest color they had available cause he loves bright colors

also his style of comedy is so so rachel sennott ( look her up if u dont know who she is please shes hilarious ) which is why i feel like he gets into acting in like absurd comedies and it kinda sticks and eventually falls into actually acting

bill loves drawing the other losers when they r not paying attention and little sketches and doodles cover his school work ( the others think its so endearing )

on days when his stutter is really bad bill goes nonverbal but the losers include him easily cause he is honestly kinda an open book with his intentions and emotions so they always know what he wants

eddie hates walking long distances and is always asking for piggyback rides ( adding to the eddie should hate nyc but when anyone brings it up he gaslights them cause he has always wanted to live there agenda )

however eddie loves running and is always racing people because he knows he will win even though hes short ( richie hates it cause his legs are too long and he is really awkward and oddly slow when he tries to run. if he actually gets fast he almost always trips cause he is so clumsy and then eddie is way in front of him )

bev gives richie and bill amateur piercings full parent trap style and at least one of them gets infected. when they r older she convinces ben to let her pierce his ears. eddie hates it and is always like “i am not helping when it gets infected” but does anyway

she also makes friendship bracelets and the losers freak when they find out and they all are always wearing at least two

in some an au stan becomes an ornithologist but like just in an au where the losers dont split up during the time jump they buy him a bird like as soon as they move out of derry and it is stans favorite thing ever

stan is really good at hiding his emotions but he always stims when he is overwhelmed or upset and it is a clear giveaway. he has been doing it since he was really little and now cant stop

mike loves animals and shows off all the farm animals to the other losers and also def has a dog that eddie loves but pretends not to even though the dog also loves him

mike is also the loser who everyone goes to for advice for literally anything and has the ability to make anyone feel better like instantly the others have no idea how he does it

ben loves the act of designing buildings but was never that good at math so college was a little rough. also his interest in archeology started after he read percy jackson in middle school cuz annabeth loved archeology

he also slips into a country accent whenever he gets really comfortable and the losers think its amazing ( richies country accent is just him trying and failing to copy ben )

richie and ben light up the room when they are truly happy. richie because his happiness is loud and unavoidable and ben because his radiates off him in waves and spreads to those around him

sorry thats a lot im done i just kept going

PLEASE KEEP GOING, THESE ARE SO GOOD OMG!!!!!!

Hi these are what I think the losers favorite movies are thank you :)

Bill- Blazing Saddles (It combines his love of Westerns and his hatred of all the stupid people in Westerns)

Eddie- Every movie in the Fast and the Furious franchise (These movies are the reason no losers want to drive with him)

Mike- Matilda (He read the novel first and was so excited when he found out they were making a movie adaptation)

Ben- Enchanted (He loves a good rom com also he knows all the songs by heart)

Bev- Labyrinth (She thinks Sarah is kickass and also who doesn’t love David Bowie?)

Stan- Patch Adams (It’s not that he particularly loves the movie, but he took Patty to see it for their first date so it will always be special to him)

Richie- He tells everyone it’s Die Hard but it’s really Marley & Me (He cries everytime)

[marcomilkie]

Richie: You fuckers don’t know about my knife stick. It’s a knife taped to a stick and it’s the ultimate weapon.

Stan, not looking up from his book: Spear.

Richie: BLOCKED.

[sunshinereddie]

haven’t been able to stop thinking about this hc since i talked about it with @whatthefuckisasweep the other day BUT imagine the losers deciding to do this big fun photoshoot together for celebrating the end of high school.

they go to thrift stores and find these old and silly outfits to wear, beverly helps fix them up and alter them, they make their own silly props, and then they set up in bill’s garage and do their fun little photoshoot. but they had so much fun doing it, that it becomes an annual thing.

every year, they plan out a new photoshoot with a new theme and costumes and everything. beverly will make their costumes, but after a few years everyone realizes how hard it is for one person to make 7 costumes, so then bev starts to teach the boys how to sew and they all work on it together!!! they continue this tradition all throughout college, and their photoshoots always turn out goofy as hell because it’s so low budget and they have to make everything themselves, but they have fun with it so they don’t really care about the quality.

BUT THEN, imagine how their photoshoots would be AS ADULTS!!!! imagine the adult losers, several of whom are now very wealthy, and imagine them spending SOOO much money on these photoshoots. richie gets an actual professional camera man, bev supplies high quality fashion (dw, their outfits are still very goofy and silly, it’s just expensive goofy and silly now 😌), and these photoshoots are like. so well done, so professional…… but the losers are still losers and they’re still having fun with it, these silly little photoshoots making them feel like they’re teenagers again :’)

and also!!!! they definitely have a big photo album that they put all of the annual shoot pictures in. and one time, when they’re trying to think of what this year’s photoshoot theme should be, they’re flipping through the photo album and decide to recreate their very first photoshoot from like 20 years ago!!!

in conclusion, the losers are so so silly and i love them.

[wolftozier]

for the IT ask game, 10 for all the losers (or if thats too much just one that peaks your interest!) :]

10. grades

richie: i think its book canon that hes an A/B student and i AGREE. hes the annoying kid who never studies but gets a higher grade than you. never does his homework. doesnt even do the work for math problems he just spits out the answer. valedictorian richie my beloved. i think his best class would be english bc i love my shakespeare nerd

drops out after his first year of college though <3

eddie: GYM. CLASS. ENJOYER. i also think he has a good grade in science even if he doesnt enjoy it as much. he follows the experiment instructions to a TEE. hes a delight to have in class even if hes vibrating like a panicked chihuahua when you bring out the hydrochloric acid

ben: his best class would be shop class/woodworking. like PLEASE i need to see ben in a woodworking class. carving spoons. makes a little stool for the clubhouse. etc

bev: her best class is art!! i do think shes the type to leave everything to the night before in school though. its like 3pm thurs and she has three paintings due on 10am fri and shes done. none of them <3

stan: best class is maths. he finds it soothing to just sit there and do math problems. kind of guy who does math worksheets for fun.

bill: C in english, B in everything else. if he keeps arguing about metaphors with his teacher he will fall to a D. he still says english is his favourite class though <3

mike: i KNOW hes homeschooled but i think he excels in english as well... probably the best outta everyone in writing essays. also i love biology nerd mike!!

[belovedbellflower]

This is just a hc I have for Richie, but I feel like he would follow a lot of Eddie's allergies as kids. Say Eddie is allergic to nuts. Someone tries to hand Eddie something with nuts? Richie is yelling to get it the hell away from Eddie. I also feel like it affects his adult life. He tries to eat nuts, but personally can't because he never ate them as a child. I don't think it's all of them, but I feel like he at least feels on edge when eating some of them and he only connects it when he meets Eddie as adults.
