Elliot

I went to see the new Spider-Man movie. What can I say? It's a masterpiece, 100/10, I cried twice, but the plot was written by geniuses, I love Marvel.

⚠️ WARNING: Extreme psychological horror, psychopathy, non-con/touching (non-sexual but highly invasive), violence against animals/infants, and heavy necrophilic/dark themes. Pure unfiltered Patrick. Read at your own risk.

1. The Solipsism & Sleep Pattern

Patrick doesn’t sleep like a normal teenager; he sleeps like a corpse. He never tosses, turns, or mumbles. He wakes up in the exact same position he fell asleep in—flat on his back, arms straight at his sides. If you wake him up suddenly, there is no grogginess or confusion. His eyes just snap open, instantly sober and hyper-focused. It deeply unsettled his parents because it felt less like a boy waking up and more like a machine being switched back on.

2. The Mechanics of Pain

His pain threshold is anomalously high. When Henry Bowers lost his temper and backhanded him across the face, splitting Patrick's lip, Patrick didn’t even blink. He just licked the blood, poked his loose tooth with his finger, and let out a faint, vacant smile. To him, pain is just an electrical signal confirming his body is functioning. He’s known to casually burn his own arms with cigarettes just to track exactly how many days it takes for the tissue to rot and scar.

3. Food and Sensory Deviations

Patrick is completely indifferent to eating; food is just fuel. Because he lacks any capacity for disgust, his habits are nauseating. He will happily eat a sandwich that’s been sitting in the dirt for days or pinch off a piece of raw, bloody ground beef while his mother is making dinner. He has a fixation on textures—he likes chewing on cartilage, chicken bones, and skin, gnawing on them for hours just for the tactile sensation.

4. The Classroom Ghost

In school, Patrick is an invisible predator. Teachers subconsciously avoid calling on him because they can't stand his unblinking, dead-eyed stare. During biology class when they dissected frogs, Patrick finished faster and more precisely than anyone else. But instead of following instructions, he cleanly severed the limbs and arranged them in a neat row by size.

5. Patrick and Beverly Marsh (The Visual Object)

Unlike Henry or Belch, who viewed Beverly through primitive, aggressive teenage lust, Patrick looked at her like a "pretty doll with interesting hair." In an alternate encounter, he cornered her in an alley. Ignoring her terror, he used one hand to choke her just enough to cut off her breath, while using his pocket knife to slowly slice off a thick lock of her auburn hair. He didn't want to assault her; he wanted to harvest a piece of her like taking a part from a broken mannequin. He kept that hair in his pocket, occasionally lighting the tips with his lighter just to smell it burn.

6. Domestic Terrorism

His parents knew they raised a monster, especially after his baby brother Peter "disappeared." Patrick terrorized them without ever raising his voice. He would stand perfectly still in the pitch-black hallway outside their bedroom door for hours, just staring at the wood. His mother frequently found her lipsticks, hairbrushes, or underwear neatly sliced into perfectly even strips and left on the kitchen table. It was his silent way of saying: You only exist because I allow it.

7. The Stroller Scenario (Pure Psychopathy)

If Patrick were walking down the street and found a crying baby left unattended in a stroller, he wouldn't feel anger or pity. He would calmly walk over, press his hand flat over the infant’s mouth and nose, and watch with detached, clinical interest as the skin turned blue and the reflexes faded. To him, it wouldn't be a crime—it would just be a repeat of his "first experiment" with Peter. If he heard the mother returning, he’d simply walk away at a casual, unbroken pace.

8. The Pyromania Aesthetic

Blending the movie's lighter-and-spray-can aesthetic into his book lore, Patrick is a textbook pyromaniac, but fire isn't emotional for him; it's a cleaning tool. He loves how fire instantly erases identity, turning complex objects into uniform black ash. When he burns stray animals, he isn't doing it to hear them scream—he does it to watch how fast the fur melts away to expose the charred meat beneath.

9. Intoxication & The Bowers Gang

When the gang drank cheap beer or smoked weed, Patrick never got "high" or rowdy in the traditional sense. Substance use didn't loosen him up; it just made his movements even more mechanical and his eyes more glassy. The only thing he actually enjoyed was huffing gasoline or glue at the junkyard, because the chemical hallucinations helped him visually "erase" the extra people from his field of vision.

10. The Final Collapse (His Death)

When It finally trapped him in the dark junk fridge, Patrick’s death was agonizing. As Pennywise’s horrific, leeches-and-flesh-tearing forms began to drain him, Patrick didn't scream from the physical pain—he screamed because his reality shattered. His brain couldn't process the fact that he, the Only Real Thing in the Universe, was dying, while the filthy, worthless world would keep spinning without him. His ultimate breakdown came with the realization that to Pennywise, Patrick Hockstetter wasn't special at all—he was just another disposable piece of meat.

Tony Stark (Iron Man)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Tony: *(*smirks, swirling a glass of scotch*)* Please. The Arc Reactor, easily. Or, you know... the man who built it. Mirror's right there if you need a visual.

Tony: Alright, kid, what about you? What’s yours?

Reader: You.

Tony: *(*freezes for a fraction of a second, then chuckles, trying to look unfazed*)* I mean... objectively correct answer. 10 out of 10 for taste. Just don't tell Pepper I let it go to my head, it’s already a safety hazard.

Steve Rogers (Captain America)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Steve: *(*smiles warmly, leaning against a table*)* The Colosseum is something else, but honestly? Seeing the Statue of Liberty from the boat when I was a kid... that always stayed with me.

Steve: How about you? What’s yours?

Reader: You.

Steve: *(*blushes immediately, looking down and rubbing the back of his neck*)* Oh. Wow. Uh... thank you. That’s—that’s really kind of you to say. I'm just a guy from Brooklyn, but... you just made my day.

Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Natasha: *(*raises an eyebrow, leaning back with a dangerous, amused smile*)* The Taj Mahal has some fascinating hidden history. But I usually prefer things that don't stay in one place.

Natasha: Your turn. What’s yours?

Reader: You.

Natasha: *(*her smile widens, eyes locking onto yours with total confidence*)* Smooth. Very smooth. Careful, doll, lines like that can get you into a lot of trouble with a spy. But... I'll let it slide because I like your style.

Thor Odinson

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Thor: *(*booming laugh, slapping a hand on his knee*)* Ha! Your Midgardian wonders are quaint, but they lack the majesty of the Bifrost or the golden spires of Asgard!

Thor: But come! Tell me of your preferences, friend! What is yours?

Reader: You.

Thor: *(*stares for a moment, then beams with absolute, radiant joy, throwing an arm around your shoulder*)* HA! AN EXCELLENT CHOICE! You possess the wisdom of an All-Father and the eye of a true warrior! Come, we shall drink mead to celebrate my newfound status as a wonder!

Bruce Banner (The Hulk)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Bruce: *(*adjusts his glasses, looking up from a tablet*)* Oh, biologically speaking? The Great Barrier Reef is an absolute miracle of biodiversity. Structurally, the Great Wall is mind-boggling.

Bruce: What about you? What catches your interest?

Reader: You.

Bruce: *(*takes a step back, blinking rapidly, face turning slightly pink*)* Me? Oh—no, no, no. I’m—I’m just a guy with a severe anger management issue. Trust me, I'm more of a natural disaster than a wonder. But... thanks. That’s really nice.

Clint Barton (Hawkeye)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Clint: *(*shrugs, cleaning an arrow*)* I don't know, man. Petra looks cool in movies? Honestly, I’m a simple guy. My farm is my favorite place on earth.

Clint: What about you? What's the big winner in your book?

Reader: You.

Clint: *(*stops cleaning, looks at you, then looks behind him to see if you're talking to someone else*)* Me? The guy with the hearing aids and the back pain? Buddy, you need to get out more. *(*grins*)* But hey, I'm telling my kids you said that. I need the street cred.

Loki

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Loki: *(*tilts his head, a look of elegant disdain on his face*)* Must I choose from the tedious achievements of mortals? If I must, the Lighthouse of Alexandria had a certain... dramatic flare.

Loki: Now, do enlighten me. What has managed to catch your fragile mortal attention?

Reader: You.

Loki: *(*his smirk falters for a microsecond, caught off guard, before he recovers with a low, purring laugh*)* Well. Naturally. A creature of your... limited scope finally recognizes true divinity. You have exquisite taste. Keep speaking like that and I might actually spare you.

Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Bucky: *(*hands in his pockets, looking a bit distant*)* I haven't thought about stuff like that in a long time. Maybe Chichen Itza. Saw a picture of it once.

Bucky: *(*clears his throat, looking at you*)* What about you?

Reader: You.

Bucky: *(*freezes, his vibrant blue eyes widening slightly. His metal hand twitches, and he looks away, a rare, genuine smile tugging at his lips*)* Yeah? *(*huffs a soft, breathless laugh*)* You're crazy. I've done too much damage to be any kind of wonder. ...But thanks. I needed to hear that.

T'Challa (Black Panther)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

T'Challa: *(*stands tall, arms crossed warmly over his chest*)* The world has many beautiful sights, but to me, the golden sunsets over the Mound in Wakanda will always be the greatest wonder.

T'Challa: And you? Where does your heart find wonder?

Reader: You.

T'Challa: *(*his eyes soften, and he bows his head slightly in a gesture of profound respect and humility*)* You honor me greatly. To be viewed with such high regard by someone of your character... it is a title I will strive to be worthy of. Thank you.

Wolverine (Logan)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Logan: *(*takes a drag from his cigar, squinting*)* Don't care. Rocks are rocks. Buildings are buildings. Long as there’s a bar nearby, it's a wonder to me.

Logan: *(*blows out smoke*)* Asking the wrong guy, kid. What’s your point? What’s yours?

Reader: You.

Logan: *(*stares at you through the smoke, completely deadpan for three seconds, then lets out a gruff huff*)* You got an eye defect or somethin'? I'm a walking weapon covered in scars and bad attitude. *(*turns away, but you can see a tiny smirk*)* Flattery won't get you anywhere with me, kid. But nice try.

Deadpool (Wade Wilson)

Reader: What’s your favorite wonder of the world?

Wade: *(*gasps dramatically, clutching his chest*)* Oh my god, I thought you’d never ask! It’s the Chimichanga! Specifically, the one from that sketchy food truck on 4th street that gives you existential diarrhea but tastes like heaven—

Wade: Wait, wait, let me guess yours! Tell me, tell me!

Reader: You.

Wade: *(*drops to his knees, slides across the floor, and grabs your hands, his mask eyes turning into giant hearts*)* OH MY GOD, I KNEW IT! We are so in sync! Look at us, bridging the gap between the reader and the fictional character! Take that, Ryan Reynolds! Hear that, fanfiction writers?! Put it in the script! I'm a wonder! I'm basically the Taj Mahal but with more spandex and a tighter ass!
