#ccITstv I& #39;m hoping that livetweeting this will motivate me to finish the book. but this time I& #39;m being more proactive wrt skipping the parts i absolutely Can& #39;t read, and more focused on the characters i want to meet and get to know in canonverse.
#ccITstv putting a pin on this for later, but this is a very interesting insight on Bill& #39;s chara, from Georgie& #39;s pov
#ccITstv mike hanlon is so charming that he convinced the oldest families of this horrible town to loan their "priceless treasures" in his exhibits for free
#ccITstv i just read the next paragraph which mentions how the museum sponsor (called Derry Ladies& #39; Society ofc) vetoed some of Mike& #39;s "gory" exhibit proposals that highlighted Derry& #39;s more unsavory but still pivotal history lol this is,,, how u say history revisionism

#ccITstv i actually like this petty, vindictive, and vengeful side to patty but then steve had to fukin ruin it with the nipple thing
#ccITstv hooo boy just finished Stan& #39;s chapter, i.e. the bath scene, and i need to take a break and lie down for a thousand years now
#ccITstv kind of sad that the person who seems to know adult!ben the most is the owner of the roadhouse he drinks at regularly (every Fri & Sat). but then i remember that *all* the Losers as adults were lonely in different ways, and i level up from kind of to definitely sad

#ccITstv cw sonia kaspbrak / eddie is "happy in pe classes" and "loves to play games and he runs quite fast" and i continue to make anguished whale noises
#ccITstv really hate that Bev& #39;s first chapter is told from shitty tom rogan& #39;s pov

#ccITstv cw tom rogan / tom, stop lying to yourself about how intimidated and scared you are of strong women, it& #39;s not that hard
#ccITstv kay mccall was the only friend of adult!bev who came to the rogan-marsh wedding... soft scream.........

#ccITstv bill& #39;s detailed college writing experiences make me wonder if this isnt a little bit of a self insert on mr steve& #39;s part. must look into this

#ccITstv all of eddie& #39;s childhood crushes unspooling in his mind at 5 am while he& #39;s on the road, im laughdying
#ccITstv skfnfkg eddie goes on for five or six more paragraphs thereafter to Wonder about Richie Tozier
#ccITstv stan on the look out for birds, combined with eddie feeling a sense of Belonging has me so tender god
#ccITstv kid!eddie in book is really more intuitive and sensitive to how his friends are feeling? there are glimpses of that in movie eddie& #39;s chara in IT 2017 but i wish they made it more apparent
#ccITstv also really love this realistic combination of childlike but sharp insightfulness, and the typical childlike selfishness and fear that comes w sensing a premonition
#ccITstv richie was the one who invited bev to hang out w them?? i love bev&richie friendship so much
(then steve had to put a romo-angle to it in the succeeding paragraphs but whatever. theyre 11 yos, but whatever)
(then steve had to put a romo-angle to it in the succeeding paragraphs but whatever. theyre 11 yos, but whatever)
#ccITstv been seeing some discussions about bill as steve& #39;s intended main protag in the book, and just wanted to add that, yes he is the intended hero. we begin with his chapter, a detailed and emotional unfolding of georgie& #39;s death, and looking at the toc, we also end with his
#ccITstv not to mention that the original Losers (richie, eddie, ben, stan) consider him the de facto leader of the group, each of expressing that bill is the "strongest" of them all -- in one way or another
#ccITstv there& #39;s also the fact that bill is known as steve& #39;s self-insert, wc became wildly obvious to me in his section in ch3 which indulgently details bill-steve& #39;s college writing experience and beliefes & how he stuck it to the man (or creative writing instructor in this case)
#ccITstv this consecutive string of bill-related tweets brought to u by latest snippet; bill has the complete set: he has his right hand (richie) & the rest of his knights (Losers), he& #39;s got the stalwart and noble steed (Silver), and finally he has his weapon of choice (Bullseye)
#ccITstv BEVERLY

#ccITstv so in the book, it was actually only eddie, ben, and stan who helped bev with her bathroom (to balance out the last richie & bill scenes maybe?) and it was actually stanley who led the cleanup crew

#ccITstv weight loss , fatphobia / bill, dismissing ben& #39;s high school experience (losing 72 pounds in months, trying out for track&field, and confronting the fatphobic coach thereafter) as a "kid story" is really Not Cool mydude! not everything is about you billiam!!!!

#ccITstv ben "you kept the lighthouse" hanscom and mike "you have nothing to feel guilty about" hanlon are really so quietly thoughtful and concerned of others. im gonna cry
#ccITstv meanwhile This is happening,

#ccITstv billiam learn 2 read the room blease,,, this is not gonna be a funny story i can tell already akdhfkfk
#ccITstv i feel so fond at how it was ben who made up the "beep beep richie" aaaaaa i love ben & richie friendship
#ccITstv not surprised that bill is the first to say that they should stay, and also how richie is the next to back him up. anyway we& #39;re back in the king & lionheart feelios
#ccITstv thinking out loud here but ben& #39;s token seems to be a library card (his first solo encounter with clown as an adult is also in library) and that actually makes more sense than it being the middle school yearbook bev autograph?
#ccITstv ben spent a lot of his time alone and in the library specifically. it was also a sort of haven to him because of how solitary he was. even when he was with the Losers, his pov always had that tinge of from-the-outside-looking-in
#ccITstv why did this hurt me so bad
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">
#ccITstv context: Bill& #39;s dad does not in fact let bill drink coffee, he made that up. but seeing how eddie & bev respond to this makes me laughcry
#ccITstv oh
