This is one for the OGs

Thesis: the rise of fanwank and anti culture correlates directly with diminished understanding of what “romantic”, in a literary sense, actually means.

It doesn’t mean “this is ideal or healthy or even realistic”. It means “this is beautiful, this is tragic, this is grotesque, this stirs emotion”, even if it’s not, as @starryroom puts it, something you would be comfortable seeing play out in front of you at Taco Bell. It’s about grandiosity and mythology and heroism writ large. It’s about playing with the id, as beautiful and terrible as it can be. 

anyone wanna confess their undying love for me before 2020 drops another bomb on us?

Reasons to love Mike Hanlon

((CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK AND THE MINISERIES))

- Mike is and always was the only reason that the losers worked out the connection between Pennywise and the 27 years.  (Yeah I’m still mad the movies gave that to Ben) 

- Mike’s relationship with his family is never depicted in any on screen adaptation but is one of the best parts of his character in the book

- the only reason we have the interludes in the book is because of Mike

- he kept a diary for 27 years like that is an achievement and a half

- he went back down into the sewers in the 27 years the losers were away, alone.  in the dark.  fully prepared for the possibility that pennywise would wake up and kill him, just to save the silver bullets.  

- he told the losers at the restaurant that they could go back home, that he was prepared to take pennywise on himself even though he knew it wouldn’t work that way

- mike interviewed literally every person possible to be as prepared as possible for the likelihood they’d have to fight pennywise again

- he got stabbed by henry bowers and yet his main concern was still everybody else

- he stayed in a racist town with a clown living in the sewers for 27 years as a librarian just to protect six people who didn’t remember him.  Six people who protected him once a long time ago.  

- he kept tabs on every single loser watching from afar just to make sure that they were safe

- Mike Hanlon is the most selfless, criminally underrated character who does not get enough appreciation for everything he did.  He’s such a big part of the IT story and I feel like (particularly in the movies) that’s overlooked

Anyways love Mike
