i think that not only does tom have a lot of love inside of him but a lot of poetry inside of him too, and that's a tragedy all its own because the thing about poetry is that it's by definition honest, and that means his love and his poetry has so little room to intersect outside of some deep and secret place. bc being honest about that would kill him

LListennnnistennn, imagine if Richie hung around the bad crowd and they all decide (excluding Richie) to pull a prank on Eddie Kaspbrak by sending him a fake love letter from Richie and to meet him somewhere for their date and Eddie shows up looking all cute and Richie is awestruck until the others appear to laugh and make fun of Eddie the f**got and when Eddie leaves, obvsly upset, Richie runs after him to ask why he came and Eddie says "I thought you liked me" and Richie is like well DAMN OKAY FUCK THOSE GUYS, LETS DATE.
I originally thought of this for a fem!reddie but it doesn't matter!!!
I would absolutely stan the idea of Eddie realizing he wasn't into girls right when Richie started adding "babe" to his list of nicknames for him.
Usually Richie acted like he was some overly-confident "playa," but what Eddie didn't expect when they first started dating was how surprisingly awkward Richie was, even to stretch an arm behind Eddie's shoulders or to hold his hand or kiss his cheek that Eddie couldn't help feeling a lot of how cuuuute is he??? Just kiss me properly you dummy
Omgg the idea of Eddie going to regular track meets and eventually meeting the weird but hot 'stoner' Richie who hangs around the same area at high school or college makes my heart bounce okKAYY.
Like Richie flirts with him and smokes and Eddie acts put off but he's definitely into itttt
Imagine if Richie was an artist and hangs around his gallery anonymously to hear what others have to say about his work and this one guy, Eddie, says it "looks like total garbage" and Richie knew he was in love.
Since chapter two, I always had this thought that if Richie did tell Eddie and if Eddie reciprocated it, I can imagine Richie wanting to then reach out and touch Eddie to be close and his hands would be fucking trembling
Can you imagine Richie being the type to never date and just fuck 'em and leave 'em kind of guy until he meets Eddie and all of the sudden he has to google search what to do on dates. Eddie would be his sassy self of "if you don't want to do more than just fuck me, you're wasting my time". Basically Richie is like a puppy Eddie pulls around and everyone else is like HOW DID HE DO THAT??
There's a lot of reddie fics about how Richie always has an arm on a chair behind Eddie's shoulders and I want you all to know that makes me feeeeel a lot. Thank you
the fact that tom is nice to service workers is all the proof you need that his thing with having power over greg isn't just about needing to exert power over someone and get away with it. like in that one deleted scene from 1x9 when he says "i beat up on you bc you can take it" he definitely means it. he would NOT treat greg the way he does if 1) he didn't see him as being on equal footing to begin with (and therefore allowing the possibility that greg may exert power back) or 2) if greg specifically did not make him feel so much
