Reddie, Jellybean?!

Title: No God To Save Me

Thank you a million times to my talented friend @liliemm for creating this fucking INCREDIBLE commission for me, I love you lots :”) And we both agree that this is the hottest Richie she’s ever drawn, we’re downright smitten; I mean c’mon hubba hubba. This fandom needs more manbun Richie, damnit. Also there’s so many awesome little details in this: Richie’s dot tattoos above his fingernails, Eddie’s keyhole pupil, the silver streak and industrial bar, Eddie’s harpy eagle feather, the matching bracelets, it’s just so so perfect and I’m in love. 

A/N: Y’ello so this is definitely one of my favorite chapters that I’ve written. I know there’s a lot going on. So hang in there. Hope you like it!!

I relate to this on a spiritual level

PART 2 chap 3 of ‘Loose Ends’ a REDDIE fancomic.

New chap! Hope you like it!

*** This chap wouldn’t be possible without the help of @richiefuckfacetozier​  at beta-reading this comic! Her work it’s just amazing, if you haven’t already should go and check her ‘Losers in College’ series and Roleplay tumblr: @losersincollege ! It will fulfill all your reddie needs ;) ***

Also, next chap is nsfw so, no kids allowed… see ya!!

Summary:  After gradually moving away during high school and spending a couple of years at different universities, the Losers, for one reason or another, all end up back in Maine. They have all basically forgotten each other over time, so they must meet again on campus and reestablish their connection.

Pairings: Richie/Eddie, Ben/Beverly

Rating: T (any nsfw will be posted separately)

Notes/Links: This is a big co-author/RP project I’m working on, as Eddie, with @richiefuckfacetozier as my Richie, as well as @hanscomarsh, @bcnvcrly, @mikehanlonstan, and @hiyo-silver-away! Our Tumblr is @losersincollege, which has more info, as well as the Losers responding to questions that get sent in! Talk to us!

I’ll be updating this masterlist post only with chapters I’m heavily involved in as Eddie, but everyone should read everything (especially if you like friendship building!!) - Here is the Link to the Full Story on AO3!

Eddie and/or Reddie Chapters:

Moving In: After transferring to UMaine from New York, Eddie tries to settle into his new, shared dorm.

“It’s cathartic, in a way, packing and unpacking; it allows him to pretend at least for a moment that he’s always on the go, never staying in one place for very long.” 

Meeting Richie: In his very first class of the semester, Eddie meets One (1) very persistent boy.

“Everything from the habitual nature of the movement to the blatant and distracting smudges on both lenses momentarily lifts the veil of cockiness Richie entered the room with. It makes Eddie want to know him.”

Meeting Bill: Eddie joins Richie and his roommate, Bill Denbrough, for dinner.

“It can’t just be Richie, though, it has to be something else - there isn’t a reason for Richie’s scent to make him feel so much, so intensely. It makes him ache for something - home, he realizes, though his mother has never smoked in her life.” 

Meeting Ben: Bumping into someone and spilling a drink on them - a classic way to make a new friend.         

“Eddie looks down at his drink and fiddles with the straw a bit, mulling over Ben’s words in his head, particularly ‘you’re strong’. Rarely do people say that about him, and even more rarely does he believe it himself, but something about Ben makes him trust it, in this one instance.”  

Summary:

Although we already wrote about Richie and Eddie’s ‘first meeting’ in college, we wanted to write a cute thing for the REAL first time Richie and Eddie met, way back in 2nd grade.

There has never been a bi/queer relationship dipicted or feature so prominently in such a major mainstream franchise in film or tv.

And to also have it be very important to the overall storyline and development of all characters involved?

Think about it from a business perspective!

If it were to be successful critically and commercially … Fuck!

It obviously wouldn’t completely stop gay erasure or make every film more inclusive, but production companies and executives in the film industry would be less hesitant to include such characters and storylines in major/blockbuster films and tv shows.

They might even think “Hey, look how well this was received. What if we started incorporating more lgbt+ characters, or explored more nontraditional love stories? Do you think people would watch that? Would they give us their monies? If that goes well, do you think they might like them even more if we stated casting more actual lgbt+ actors? What if we started to actually listen to the fandoms? Hmmmmmm.”

Think about how it will trickle down to smaller releases like mainstream romantic comedies.

It would be unprescedented!

There is a reason why so many people argue that Will And Mike don’t have feeling for each other! (And even Reddie for that matter.) Not because there isn’t evidence to support it or actual fucking footage that insinuates it, but because people subconsciously recognize a pattern. No matter how much evidence may mount or how much support that ship may gather, those types of relationships and storylines are never actually outright confirmed or depicted in such major mainstream releases. Execs think it’s too risky and that it would alienate a large part of their fan base or instantly turn away potential conservative viewers.

Have there been characters like this depicted in film before? Yes. But they have often been supporting characters with their storyline addressed minimally or it has been in indie films or shit with a more conservative budget (promotional included.) Even if a movie features a lgbt+ characters in the forefront, those movies are expected to not fare as well in the box office, so their lukewarm commercial reception is still considered a win, but

Welp! Here it is! 

I’ve been working on this for months, constantly editing and changing it over and over again till it’s perfect. And I’m so happy with it and I really hope you love it as much as I do. I love the world of Strawberry Milkshake that I have created and I might do some more work on it if people are interested!

This fanfiction was originally for the IT Big Bang but it was sadly cancelled. But I spoke to the artist that picked me and they still wanted to do it! And I’m so in love with this.

Thanks so much @kriyonce. 

It was great chatting to you and I love this so much. You’ve done a great job! (And sorry for being annoying at times, I was just mega excited)
