Was there a moment in the book between eddie and richie that had you start thinking maybe there were deeper feelings between the two?
Like as in the earliest moment in the publication where I started to go ‘hmmm’ on the very first read through?? Anon that was a prolonged time ago!!!
Okay so, assuming I am 14 years old and reading IT for the very first time, without that much practice interpreting symbolism and without the world awareness needed to make certain connections that seem so obvious to me now as an adult, and I’m just casually reading the novel having only ever watched the miniseries as a little kid… these are the moments that probably jumped out at me first:
For Eddie, it wasThe Dam in The Barrens (aka one of the most meaty chapters for Eddie analysis)
When Richie makes his entrance in the flashback, the first thing he does is pinch Eddie’s cheek. Then we get Eddie quietly observing Richie’s confront when he’s being uncharacteristically solemn. Shortly after, Richie winks at him.
And then we get THIS:
‘Ben, Eddie saw, was looking at Richie with a mixture of awe and wariness. Eddie could understand that.’

This guest article is written by Rachel Brands (on Twitter @RachelBrands)
Richie Tozier and Eddie Kaspbrak’s affair has been speculated about since “It” by Stephen King was published in 1986 and was finally legitimized by “It: Chapter 2” in fall of 2019. Now that I have analyzed each character’s background and behavior, we can explore the lgbtq+ subtext present in Richie and Eddie’s scenes in the novel.
Richie and Eddie scenes that are both very cute and very gay
Eddie and Richie’s first on-page interaction happens when Richie and Stan present up at the Barrens, and Richie immediately begins teasing Eddie like a boy pulling on the pigtails of a young woman he likes.
Richie’s teasing follows a specific criteria: he calls Eddie “Eds,” pinches his cheek, and often calls him “cute,” as shown in later scenes. This creates a unique ritual between the two of them that they both partake in: Richie uses the same language and behavior to joke around with Eddie, and Eddie has the identical exasperated response.
Richie is famous as a jokester and his teasing exasperates Eddie, but he doesn’t touch antagonized by

[This story contains spoilers for It: Chapter Two.]
Stephen King’s novel It views the end of childhood as the moment that an individual loses their virginity. In an act of love, defiance and desperation, the Losers Club contain an orgy in a sewer. The purpose of the act was meant to express love in the darkest hour. The scene met a lot of criticism when the novel was first released in 1986. In the 2017 film adaptation, the children find another way to bond. They build a blood pact. They agree to return to Derry, Maine, to defeat Pennywise should he ever return. But childhood doesn’t have a definite complete. Certainly, the decision to have intercourse doesn’t shift an individual to an adult overnight. Scientists still have not concluded as to when human childhood ends. In the Combined States, the law says 18, but some experts think 25 more accurately measures the end of adolescence.
In director Andy Muschietti’s 2017 adaptation of King’s novel, the time period is moved up from 1958 to 1989; the year the New Kids on the Block were culturally relevant. But Muschietti trie
Is Richie From IT Homosexual In The Book?
IT Chapter Two's twist about Richie Tozier being gay was surprising because not only did it not arise in the book, but it also wasn't hinted at in the first film. Adapted from the classic Stephen King novel of the same designate, the first IT clip was released in 2017 to great acclaim. Directed by Andrés Muschietti, the film starred Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) and Jack Dylan Grazer (Shazam!) as two members of The Losers' Club, who locate themselves tormented by a demonic entity (Bill Skarsgård). Where the book jumped back and forth between the past and offer, the first film opted to merely explore the childhood encounters with the shapeshifting creature. Here's how Richie from IT's sexuality was changed from the books.
Muschietti returned to direct the sequel, which, customary to Pennywise's possess pattern, picked up 27 years after IT Chapter One. Honoring a collective promise, the group returned to the town of Derry when it became clear that children were once again going missing. IT Chapter Two largely followed said adult versions of the characters as they sought to defeat once and for all an even more cruel and vengeful Pen
