You can look me in the eye and tell me this isn’t the kind of shit the losers do in their free time, but I won’t believe you.
(sorry for how long this is! i got a little carried away)
-they have the same parents, but richie takes their dad’s name and mike takes their mother’s
-this is because when they were kids they came up with this idea no one would guess they were related if they had different last names
-nancy laughed at them both and told them how ridiculous that was, but it stuck
-they shared a room up until they were seven and got in an argument and richie ended up throwing soda at mike and ruining the duvet of his bed (they had already destroyed a lot of stuff before then. This was the final straw for Mrs. Wheeler)
-mike finds it obnoxious how messy richie is
-their bathroom is half warzone, half last ditch attempts by mike to keep it clean
-they end up having their own “sides” of the counter but richie’s stuff always ends up on mike’s side
-once richie used mike’s toothbrush so mike dunked richie’s toothbrush in the toilet and didn’t tell him
-dustin and lucas sometimes laugh at richie’s jokes and mike hisses “don’t encourage him”
-richie has a habit of flirting with everyone
-this includes will.
-sometimes he makes a dirty joke and winks at will and will blushes
-mike gets annoyed by it, but always tells himself it’s just because he doesn’t want his gross brother hitting on any of his friends
-they have fights over who’s going to have the sleepover this weekend.
-the losers always make sure to include mike though
-just like the party includes richie (if he’s home, a lot of the time he sneaks over to eddies)
-mike never tells their parents that richie’s snuck out, no matter how mad he is, because he knows how horrible eddie’s mom is
-when he was younger, mike had a crush on bill, something he will NEVER admit
-he also had a crush on bev, who was so nice to him and used to offer him the last cookie/soda/bit of chips
-the party is kind of in awe of how cool bev is, and they always try to invite her to join their party
-richie is like “MY FRIENDS NOT URS” and bev finds it really funny
-even though richie and mike get on each other’s nerves, they band together really fast when one of them is picked on.
-richie constantly comes home with black eyes and a bloody nose/lip because people pick on mike and his friends
-mike and eddie help clean him up, both telling him to “sit still idiot”
-when they’re sixteen one time richie comes out of the shower with just sweatpants “hey mike, have you seen my scorpions shirt?”
-will goes bright look and glances down super quickly
-mike notices this and gets kinda angry? Not at will just the general situation
-but richie has been in love with eddie since he was like ten, and they’ve been dating since 8th grade so he only has eyes for his eds
-he notices how bothered mike is by this and just kinda laughs to himself bc he knows they’ll have to sort it out for themselves
-nancy, richie, and mike are a fucking power trio
-nancy takes them out to the city every month or so, less when she heads out to college
-they always visits mike’s “nerd stops” like museums and various comic book stores.
-they also hit up record shops (for richie) and occasionally nancy sneaks them into a grunge show “ONLY IF THEY PROMISE TO BE GOOD AND STAY IN HER SIGHT”
-both of them dread when nancy drags them to a clothing store, whining the whole way, but they have fun messing around with different outfits while nancy shops
-they talk about boys (and girls, the wheelers/toziers are bi icons) over food and whenever someone mentions will, mike gets all blushy. Nancy and Richie share knowing looks
-nancy is definitely the cool, protective sister. If she hears anyone in the higher classes making fun of richie and eddie she’s fucking ON THAT, turns out richie learned it all from her
-richie and mike definitely bond over how sucky their dad is. Insulting him when he isn’t around, teaming up to argue with him when he’s being ridiculous
-they know secrets about each other too, one’s they’d never tell anyone else
-mike knows that richie has nightmares about a family that hurts and ignores him, and it’s his biggest fear to end up alone like he is in his dreams
-richie knows that mike fears no one will need him anymore, and that he’s always struggling to have his voice heard
-richie gets real tired of mike and will sharing looks and then looking away blushing, and skirting around each other. He “accidentally” locks them in a closet, and comes back thirty minutes later.
-they’re kissing
-they basically rip apart when richie opens the door
-”FINALLY YOU FUCKING LOVEBIRDS”
-will is bright red and mike is all stuttery “SHUT UP RICHIE”
-richie in a rare moment tells mike how happy he is for him (after will goes home)
-mike is all smiley and happy
-”he still thinks i’m hotter”
-”BEEP BEEP RICHIE” and a pillow is thrown at him
-richie and mike end up going to different colleges
-both of them joke how happy they are to escape the other, but in truth it’s kind of sad
-the second night of being alone, without mike close by, richie calls mike at like 1 am
-mike picks up immediately
-”did you have a nightmare?”
-richie doesn’t want to admit that he misses him “it’s fucking weird not to hear your annoying voice yammering away”
-mike realizes what’s going on “real quiet now that your shitty music isn’t blasting”
-both of them just chat about how life is going, until they start to fall asleep
-richie is best man at mike’s wedding, and mike is best man at richie’s
-mike gets strippers for richie for his bachelors party
-richie sets up a fucking LARP session
-and richie’s speech makes mike cry (it ends with “i love you, you fucking nerd”)
-when mike and will adopt a daughter, richie and eddie come over to visit and play with the kid a lot
-mike and richie like to pretend to be each other
-the kid is never fooled, she knows who her dad is
hope your pets stay healthy in 2017

It’s 1997 (during the war). As a Muggle-Born, Eddie was not only in danger himself, but his friends, and above all, Richie, were too.

nico makes a travel youtube vlog and his fans are like “he must prefilm a lot of these bc it seems like he’s in a different country every day which is just physically impossible!” and he just reads the comments and snickers
Hello, I’ve been enjoying MCC recently, but I think I could be enjoying it more. As such I present my suggestions to tumblr for consideration.
So as someone who's just gotten into DC recently (I really like the whole batfamily dynamic the most) where do you think is best to start with the comics and where could I get them online you think? I'm in the UK so I cant access that DC website that has the whole comic library sadly it sucks.
I…Um. Oh. Haha. Tough question, first of all, I have no idea how you can access them online. I get them every month (and in France we unfortunately don’t have a third of what is actually published so I also get a lot of things via specific comics book stores). I buy the physical copies, I’m not a fan of digital things. But I’m sure there’s a lot of websites and you can probably find them with a quick google search ! I’m sorry I can’t help you on that front. I’m sure though some people reading that post can help for that !
As to..Starting with the Batfam…it’s kinda up to you to decide which origin story you prefer…I always have a little trouble to give advice on where to start, because there’s many different beginnings haha. But here’s me trying :
1938 to 1986 : the golden age followed by the silver age (”pre-crisis”)1986-2011 : the modern age (”post-crisis” or sometimes “pre-flashpoint”)2011-2016: the new 52 (”post-flashpoint”)2016 (june)-ongoing: Rebirth, which it is an event that revives the modern age heroes (while keeping the few good things about new52…haha makes me actually miss New 52 at times. I remember how I was like “oh this isn’t very good” and then got my hopes up with the beginning of Rebirth only for it to become WORST than New 52 haha…)
1986 : Crisis on infinite earths (my favorite)2011 : Flashpoint (I like it)2016 : Rebirth (also known as “the-one-we-do-not-talk-about”. I hate a lot of things about it, if not everything. BUT the beginning was good, it just went downhill at some point for some reasons…
Each era can be read seperatly. And it’s kinda up to you to decide what you prefer and what you want to forget and pretend it’s not part of canon (Ric who ?).

PS : Anyone, feel free to add things that you think are important to learn about the characters or the World :). This is just a quick list I wrote before work, and of things coming to my mind, so I’m probably missing important stuffs without noticing it !
PPS : important to say when I put “origin”, it implies “one of the origin”, just thé ones I chose because it’s usually the most liked (not particularly by me) and acceptéd (again, not particularly by me haha).
TJ: you know, Buffy can be really aggressive so it’s important to take all the necessary precautions when approaching her
