Very quick Richie study bc I haven’t drawn anything in a second and I forgot what his face looked like 👍 don’t ask why he’s wet
Stop stop stop stop wait a minute I really need you to imagine college Richie making an audition tape to be on The Real World
What iteration of Richie Tozier you want to base your answer on is at your discretion
Some reddie for my fellow falling out/breakup/big fight enjoyers out there ❤️🩷💜💙💚💛🧡

📓🌟 for richie? :)
SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER I'm on vacation <3
📓 A headcanon about their hobbies
I'm a strong gamer Richie believer I think he likes FPSs and refitted retro games and I think he has a whole room in his house dedicated to nerd shit. I also think hes peripherally interested in like 12 different things that he never spends any time doing in favor of his debilitating twitter and youtube addiction
🌟 A headcanon about their desires/wishes
That guy wants his parents in a nice ass house on the beach somewhere and he wants them to send him pictures of them doing retired shit so he can roast them for it. They deserve it
🏳️⚧️🪢 for richiey?
🏳️⚧️ A gender headcanon
I'm a big fan of fics where Richie experiments with drag in his forties and weeps a little bit about it. I think he's the kind of young adult that was like "being a girl is so much better than being a guy this is a universally understood concept and I'm not going to examine this thought further"
🪢A headcanon about their family
I actually thought up a whole au a while ago where Maggie can't live on her own anymore and comes to live with Eddie and Richie and it becomes a whole sitcom scenario. I should really write something about that please imagine old new England widow Maggie Tozier living in an LA condo with her gay son and lover. Incredible
Whiny LA Richie cuz it’s getting cold out
i feel like richie is an otter. he just has otter vibes. he kinda looks like an otter too. does this make sense?
I believe one needs to be lean and have muscle tone in order to be an otter and Bill Hader isn't really either of those things. If you mean an otter in like a furry way though yeah I can see it
Go read the fic “$499,000 - 4bd, 3ba, 2,940 sqft” on AO3, especially alone at night, it’s amazingly creepy and lightly humorous at the same time
oooo i’d love to hear more of these richie head canons 🧐
gdhxjdjs okay I think these are the rest of em
- Bill would be into classic horror (Rosemary's Baby, Haunting of Hill House) while Richie would be into just the most garbage horror he could get his hands on (The Little People, which is about psychic Nazi leprechauns (I really recommend Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix if you wanna learn more about garbage horror from the 70s and 80s. It's really funny))
- Richie would be really good at that style of comedy where they go from point A to B to C and then suddenly bring it back to point A to illustrate just how far removed from the original topic the tangent went
- Two of Richies teeth are implants OR he has veneers
- Richie vapes (made a comic about it)
- Richie could drive stick shift as a teenager but he forgot how along with everything else and for some reason relearning that skill is extremely novel to him
- Post Derry 2.0 he finishes his degree just cuz
- Maggie Tozier is French Canadian (this is just so Eddie can get horny over Richie speaking French)
For the character ask game! 1, 2, 3, and 14 for Richie Tozier (and Eddie Kaspbrak too if you feel like it!)
1. Why do you like or dislike this character?
The too-honest answer is I like Richie and Eddie because their whole lives got fucked up and it took them until their forties to fix it and it's comforting to me to read stories about them being happy because it makes me feel like I have plenty of time to get my own life sorted. The normal answer is because they're fucking insane
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
I like that Richie canonically loves Eddie and I like that Eddie canonically crawled around under a porch pretending to be a hobo for some fucking reason
3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?
Uuuuuuhhhh idk some of Richie's movie dialogue was pretty lame but that goes for all of them really. I don't care for Eddie canonically, y'know, dying (just from like a fan perspective, I don't actually mind that he dies)
14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.
Not sure what this means. I guess they're both Closetedcore
12, Richie Tozier!
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
Oh dude I have like a whole word document full of this shit how can I even choose just one.... Okay let's go with my headcanon that Richie would thrive as a member of a comedy band a la The Lonely Island. I think it would be better for his blood pressure if he could make people laugh without getting on stage and spilling his guts
I'm fascinated by the different ways people portray Richie's stand-up in fics but the funniest by far is stealing it whole cloth from an existing comic, implying that John Mulaney (because it's always John Mulaney, with one notable exception of James Acaster which is doubly hilarious because their styles could not be more different) does not exist in the It cinematic universe.
They’re still in Sedona :)
