hey guys. fuck it. Clown Novel Gay Moments thread

im gonna be skimming around starting from ch3 (richie and eddies introductions) to wherever i left off before... hopefully i dont miss anything too juicy

i posted this earlier but anyway, Richie Tozier Is Gay and Closeted

not posting it but worth mentioning i guess that richies first concrete memory of derry is of bowers& #39; gang calling him the f slur. ahh good times

hey rich, you good?

X___X

eddie time

1. richie is the first thing eddie rmbrs of derry:)
2. you every think abt your gay middle school crush and immediately have a panic attack? fellas?

i WISH i was DEAD

ahh...

can i use this thread to push my eddies-baby-crush-on-bill agenda

:)

no one:
eddie: i would die for bill

ok here is, in my estimation, the first Really Potent reddie moment, eddie thinking abt richie as he drives back to derry

eddie doesn& #39;t smoke, so there are very few reasons richie should be remarking on the taste of cigarettes to him and then winking

he just spends SO much time deeply contemplating richie toziers existence

i left this thread hanging for a few days bc i got to the leper scene at neibolt, but uh basically what you need to know is that it& #39;s similar to how it plays out in the first film but has an Extremely heavy overtone of sexual aggression

it& #39;s not the same but i think this is why the leper scene in the second movie was... the way that it was

aren& #39;t we all

there are whole essays that could be written on this chapter honestly

eddie develops a weird fixation on his encounter with the hobo leper. later in this chapter he starts imagining himself As the hobo leper

as i said it was toned down like 80% in the movie, which mostly focuses on the leper being Diseased and Gross, but the sexual angle gets a Lot of focus in the book. it& #39;s obviously uncomfortable so i& #39;m picking and choosing what i put here but yeah

combined with richie telling eddie about STIs and bill helpfully chiming in that you can also get them from guys "if you& #39;re queer" it& #39;s really beginning to paint a picture of eddie& #39;s Problems but anyway i& #39;m trying to move past this so we can get back to cute stuff

f slur

ah

this is the chapter will richie just Decides he has a crush on bev now for no reason, which is contrasted with ben actually having a crush on bev and richie not understanding the way ben is acting

:& #39;)

yall can unravel this one im spent

this goes here now https://twitter.com/omophagos/status/1223098476700913665">https://twitter.com/omophagos...

got the urge to read some of this stupid book and i have to ride my urges as far as theyll take me so here we go

richie spends a while waxing poetic about bill & how handsome & charismatic he is. in fact, he thinks that ben woudn& #39;t be jealous of bev having a crush on bill, because... having a crush on bill is the natural order of things... I GUESS??

ah, the losers& #39; collective crush on bill

richie. baby.

ik this is like a reddie thread but listen 1. establishing that richie and eddie both have dumb crushes on bill is important for, uh, a deeper reading of the subtext 2. i just like it
