For The Past Week, "Will You Pray For Me When I'm Gone? / Or Is This The Eternal Dark Without A Dawn?"

For the past week, "Will you pray for me when I'm gone? / Or is this the eternal dark without a dawn?" and "I'm not a loser!" "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" have been stuck in my head and I think I'm losing my fucking mind and holy shit I LOVE this scene 😭😭 like wdym when Richie finally felt safe at school, Max came back to take that feeling of security away and then take his LIFE. AFTER TERRORIZING HIM FOR AGES. man i love em both

Richie's death gets worse the longer you think about it. The show opens with Richie running and screaming, implying that he was running through the halls begging for help, never able to find anyone. And we know Max was just toying around with him. In the locker room scene, Max closed off the exits and let Richie be completely, utterly terrified and trapped. He eventually decided to reopen the doors and let Richie run just to give him a false sense of hope before killing him in a frankly gruesome way. He wanted to see Richie running and pleading and begging, and Max was having fun with it the entire time.

The scene is terrifying. Max was written to be terrifying. And Will and Jon pulled SO MUCH weight in both the opening scene and the whole locker room scene and made it all so real.

i love seeing my mutuals hyperfixate over stuff i know nothing about, ‘cause i’m just sitting there cheering them on like “do we like that person you’re talking about? no?? BIG no?? oKAY BOOO BOOOOOOO WE DON’T LIKE THEM” like a confused but really trying parent

people keep trying to make "ladies and gentlemen" more inclusive.

I think we should go the other way around.

make more and more weird false dichotomies in greetings. "gamers and pianists". "oil painters and swordsmen". "vexillologists and entomologists". "chess masters and diamond artificers". "accountants and gendered individuals".

we need to be dropping shit into formal meetings to make people say "wait what? which one am I?"

had a Richie and Max coded interaction this morning

This is. The coolest thing I've ever seen. Oh my god.

Darkness will spare my soul

Here's all my Nerdy Prude Must Die paintings in one set! These teens live rent free in my head for all eternity. I think i have the show memorized at this point for how much I watched it while doing these.

Yes I redid Richie's painting Don't look at me . (and shout out to @to-our-own-fairytale for the banger quote suggestion)

Edit: By popular demand, I have added these as prints to my store! Find them here!
