joe and louis were my heartstopper

i think about this post like. once a week. and i mean that.

there’s something to be said about king linking child abuse in IT 1986 to consumption; alvin and sonia’s incentous abuse of their own children is directly described as being ‘eating’ but it goes into the very concept of pennywise being a child eater, a figure that (among other things) personifies how parents consume their own children. (society doesn’t treat children as anything other than literal property to their parents.) abuse can absolutely feel like cosmic horror to a child; you have no genuine understanding of why this is happening to you. why do your parents hate you, why does your dad look at your body like that, why is your mother forcing pills down your throat, why is your step dad beating your younger brother to death with a hammer, the crux of cosmic horror is that it’s truly unexplainable and even if your try to trace it you’ll never truly understand why your parent did that to you.
