When you’re a kid, you think that you’ll always be… protected, and cared for. Then, one day, you realize that’s not true. If you open your eyes, you will see what we’re going through. ‘Cause when you’re alone as a kid, the monsters see you as weaker. You don’t even know they’re getting closer. Until it’s too late.

I can remember Stan doing his own hands last, pretending he was going to slash his wrists instead of just cut his palms a little. I guess it was just some goof, but I almost made a move on him … to stop him. Because for a second or two there he looked serious.

I can’t go into that house, Mike. I can’t…

we have to help him!

thanks for showing up, stanley.

it meme: 5/6 relationships ♥️ richie tozier & stanley uris i’ve spend my whole life afraid. afraid of what might come next, afraid of what i might leave behind. don’t. be who you want to be, be proud. and if you find someone worth holding on to, never, ever let them go. follow your own path, wherever that takes you.

it meme: 5/7 characters ♥️ stanley uris “It’s probably a lot tougher when you’re up there under those lights,” Stanley had replied, and it seemed to her that a shadow had drifted over his face. “Everything’s a lot tougher when it’s for real. That’s when you choke. When it’s for real.”

Stand By Me (1986)

Amorak Huey, from “The Girl on the Unicycle“ published in Cotton Xenomorph (via lifeinpoetry)

Stanley Uris - IT 2017 If any of you opened your eyes, if you really cared, you would see what we’re going through. I guess, indifference, is a part of growing up. Becoming an adult, isn’t about being able to vote, or being able to drink, or drive. Becoming an adult, according to the holy scripture, in Derry, is learning not to give a shit.

You left me! You took me into Neibolt! You’re not my friends! You made me go into Neibolt!

stan was sharp—too sharp for his own good, richie sometimes thought. the day mike brought his father’s album down to the barrens stan had almost flipped out. richie had, in fact, been nearly convinced that they wouldn’t see stan again and the losers’ club would become a sextet… but stan had been back the next day, and richie had respected him all the more for that.
