once again i am thinking about losers and endearments and how sometimes bev and eddie will be on the phone and she calls him honey all the time so he just slips in a couple of them, âbev, honey, he is driving me crazyâ âoh honey, i knowâ until it becomes habit
richie calling ben sweetie and sweetness in all sorts of Voices until one day he sees him crying and he sits down next to him, arm around his shoulder, and says âsweetheart are you okayâ in his own soft voice
mike calls bev honey too, and she calls him babe and baby and once or twice people have mistaken them for a couple, walking hand in hand calling each other baby and they just smile
bill and stan at one of billâs book signings, and stan calls him âdarling heartâ and it was meant to come out less sincere than it did but bill blushes so stan says it again, usually whenever he wants to get his way
richie calls ben handsome all the time, itâs the last name thing, and the pure fact of the matter, but he calls mike âgorgeousâ and stan âstudâ
bill answers the phone and itâs eddie calling in the middle of the night, panicking about his divorce, and he sits up with him for hours âbreathe honeyâ âi know bub, itâll be okayâ âeddie man do you need me to come out thereâ âalright kiddo, i promise i wonât hang upâ
eddie calls mike âthe absolute love of my fucking lifeâ all the time and one of their non loser friends looks at richie sideways like âwhatâs up with thatâ and heâs just like âyeah dude, thatâs mike hanlon, heâs the absolute love of eddieâs fucking lifeâ
stan and bev have all sorts of stupid nicknames for each other and neither of them remember where they came from âpass me the remote lollipopâ and everyoneâs just like, you guys okay over there âthey donât understand our love fidget spinnerâ
mike calls eddie âgumdropâ once and itâs mostly sarcastic âcause theyâre bickering about something and eddie retaliates with âwhatever you say pumpkinâ and those stick for years
thinking about stanley calling them all plant based nicknames at various points and itâs such a habit that instead of yelling ârichie you assholeâ he yells ârichie you absolute fucking cactusâ and then theyâre laughing so hard they forget what they were arguing about
bev calls bill âlambâ and it makes him melt a little, so she uses her power for evil and also to get him to stop beating himself up over things
a lot of things richie calls bill donât make sense and come to him in bursts of leslie knope style inspiration âoh you sumptuous bowl of angel hair pastaâ âyou salt and pepper kermit of a manâ âyou really are just a jelly bean wrapped in a guilt complex arenât you marshmallowâ
ben calls eddie âspeedsterâ when theyâre kids and it doesnât come back to them for years once theyâve reconnected until he goes to call eddie a speed demon and then suddenly itâs back with a vengeance
ben calls bill âgherkinâ when heâs being an idiot and âpuddingâ when heâs not
when stan is sleepy and dozing on the couch richie and mike carry him to bed and richie tucks him in with a âgoodnight bugalugsâ and mike turns the light off âsweet dreams curlyâ
oh! i completely forgot! richie calls bev beavis and bev calls him butthead, but sometimes he calls her buttercup and she calls him snowdrop, and the others can predict the chaos energy based on the choice (hint: chaos does not follow the beavis & butthead choice)
