literally @StringsCut is why i'm in clowntown in the first place. my partner got into IT about 2 months ago and i was politely interested, but had not seen either movie or read the book and did not plan to.

he started RPing as Eddie with some friends and i became interested in the idea of the characters, but frustrated with what i knew of the canon. we're both stephen king fans, but i always thought the clown story was just one that didn't interest me.

but he showed me a piece of puppet richie art (i think a piece by lottie?) and i thought it was so tender that i started reading strings cut. this was before my dedicated clown twitter, so i didn't qrt, but i was just wholly enchanted by it.

so, void's neibolt losers are, specifically, the ones i fell in love with. i adore all the losers - every iteration of them (even the canon ones), but strings cut was what caught me and reeled me in. i didn't even watch the movie til after i was current (at the time) with CTS.

i don't have enough nice things to say about CTS, except that it made an excellent first impression and i don't think i'll ever shake the characters loose from the heart she put into them. i look forward to the finale.
