Lifesaving techniques that you should share with your friends to make them ready for any emergency!

Need to write a fic about this ASAP!

"What’s wrong Rich? Afraid you’re going to lose at wrestling like when we were kids?"

the impact of their missing presence on his life, the coldness, the hostile silence, the wordless dismissal of his every effort to make conversation, to connect as a family again, to gain their love and acknowledgment. how ultimately in the end their neglect directly correlates to bill’s suicidal recklessness towards death and danger and his excessive willingness to sacrifice himself to pennywise in order to save the lives of the losers, and I would argue any single other life because through his parent’s abuse bill has internalized the blame of georgie’s death and assumed responsibility for the lives of ALL children. 

does it ever haunt you that at 14 in the movie (or 11 in the book) Bill thinks being taken to an eternal hell dimension by an eldritch arachnid horror is “just” and “right?” is what he actually deserves? A belief that persists through his relationship with Audra - (with whom it’s interesting to note he appears to have a type of caregiving/savior role ie: ‘rescuing’ her from her addictions and being her point of stability to the extent that she’s very unwilling to be apart from him, even if bill needs to leave for closure on something very personally important) - all the way into his forties when (in the book) he encounters the manifestation of all that guilt and abuse directly and almost just gives up, almost lets the apparition of georgie kill him before his friends step in and shake him out of it again?

do y’all ever think about this?

buying terrible matching shirts for you and the boys  -   bill spends 20 minutes trying to put richie into a headlock for buying them and bev manhandles ben into the shirt and laughs so hard she almost passes out… (on twitter)
