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.
The Losers Club Plays Monopoly (Mike Hanlon is blamed for ensuing disaster)
The Losers only played Monopoly one time. One time was all it took for it to get banned.
Poor poor Mike suggested they play it and has since had all the blame put on him for the disaster. Mike just thought it would be fun.
It started off well enough with everyone getting used to the rules
The first sign of trouble was when Richie kept buying everything he landed on despite the fact that it never made sense
Eddie had an actual plan that has to get thrown out because Richie just took two of the red tiles that shit head
Stan is 100% winning because he actually knows how to play monopoly around Richie’s stupid choices
meanwhile in the corner, Bill is still trying to get out of jail and he has been in there since round 3
Mike is the person who is making a mini city with his house pieces while he waits for his turn which takes a while because Eddie argues with Richie every turn
Bev is secretly stealing 100s from the bank whenever people aren’t looking
Ben is suppose to be in charge of the bank since he isn’t playing but he is too distracted trying to keep the board from getting flipped
Richie has now acquired every rail road square because Bev has been slipping him 5s from the bank
And some how Eddie is actually technically beating Richie but for some reason is still mad about the rail roads
Mike and Stan have started a silent staring contest as they both have realized they are tied for first
Bill has been freed from jail
Bill was immediately sent back to jail. he is resorting to trying to bribe people into letting him go
Eddie finally lands on one of Richie's tiles and is forced to pay him 20 dollars and this resorts in a fist fight
Stan is the one to flip the board though because Mike buys the property he wanted
Ben throws away the game and swears to destroy every copy of it
the losers club being mildly telepathic is sososo good of an idea. sometimes they don't even need to talk they just look at each other and Understand. occasionally they just burst out in laughter at nothing. they just kind of. know. where the others are. freaky lil creeps
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)
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.
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.
hc where one year eddie isn’t allowed to go trick or treating, for whatever bullshit reason set by sonia, he has to call up the losers and tell them that he won’t be able to join them this year. he’s really upset about it, because halloween is one of his favourite nights of the year. (he gets to hang out with his friends all night, and he gets free candy? what could be better than that!) he reassures his friends to have fun without him, though, and tells them to pick up a few pieces of candy for him.
the next day at school, eddie realizes that his friends took his words quite literally.
the losers each show up to class with this big bag full of candy, and at first eddie thought they brought it to show how much candy they had scored the night before... but then the losers start handing the bags over to eddie. when he asks what this is all about, they tell him that at every house they went to, they made sure to get an extra piece of candy for eddie. they put all of those pieces into a separate bag, and brought it to school with them to give to eddie.
sure, it sucked that he hadn’t been able to come trick or treating with them, but the losers weren’t about to let eddie miss out on the candy as well. and when eddie realizes this, his love for his friends grows even stronger.
❥ hi rachel(@user40724432sworld)! thank you for my first richie tozier request! i hope this is to your liking! i apologise for taking too long!
yandere richie tozier headcanons
warnings: yandere tingz, implications of murder, stalker behaviour, mean richie, mentions of cuts and bruises, possessiveness, manipulation
okay, so, tozier is a real asshole yk? he’d be an asshole if he liked you, let alone obsessed with you!!!
i feel like a yandere-esque richie wouldn’t be very obvious until the moment he decides to show it
he definitely takes note of your every move and every action, like the way you part your hair or wear your clothes, he’d be extremely observant only when it comes to you
he’s extra mean to you too, wanting to insult you in every way for a moment before being a-okay with you the next
if someone shows the slightest interest in you, he would immediately strike
first warning would be him threatening that person for even talking to you and thinking they even had a chance with someone as amazing and heaven-sent as you
second would be at least a few cuts and bruises here and there inflicted on the person who flirted with you
third would be death, quite literally
richie is very possessive as yanderes are, and if you’re even a second late to a group meeting he’ll be asking you a thousand questions of your whereabouts
he hates it when you say no to him, he absolutely fucking hates it and sometimes he feels like slapping you across the face but remembers to control himself if not he’ll scare you away
you’re very confused of his weird behaviour, one second he hates you and the next he seems to care about your “safety”
of course you don’t realise he’s lied about all those times he said that there were guys that were trying to take advantage of your kindness, when he was actually the one who was taking advantage of it
you’re slowly manipulated by his so-called compassion and chivalry, and fall for him, and he gets exactly what he wants: your devoted love.
