Cyrus: Hey gu-
Buffy: Hey UNDERDOG! I got you a chocolate chocolate chip muffin! Again! Even though you didn’t ask for one! I just love showing you how much I truly care about you at every opportunity!
Andi: Hey UNDERDOG! You look cold! Here, take one of my many basketball hoodies and feel free to keep it and wear it as much as possible so I can constantly freak out about how cute you look in it!
Jonah: Hey UNDERDOG, come over here so I can remind you of how cute and funny and amazing you are for the thousandth time, then repeat all my gushing to anyone and everyone with ears!
Marty: Hey UNDERDO-
TJ: OKAY OKAY, I GET IT!
Hmmm.... how about we talk about an IT/Stranger Things crossover?
OKAY HERE’S THE CONCEPT: richie tozier and mike wheeler are twins
richie is older by like three minutes and is INSUFFERABLE about it
literally any time mike tries to argue at the dinner table (bc mike LOVES to argue at the dinner table) richie tries to shut him down with “im your big brother, you have to listen to me” and mike gets PISSED because it doesn’t even make any sense!!
“BY THREE MINUTES!” “best three minutes of my life” “that’s enough, boys”
you think mike is a little shit when he teases nancy about steve harrington? richie literally has a full-on steve impression that includes a bad california surfer dude accent and a cheesy smile
somehow both boys have different groups of weird friends and nancy swears to god there’s always at least thirteen fucking middle schoolers in her basement yelling about some shit
despite having a lot in common, mike and richie try very hard to keep their friend groups separate because theyve had to share LITERALLY EVERYTHING since birth and it’s nice to have something belong to themselves for a change!
that said, you KNOW they all like sneak around on the side and hang out. bill and will byers bond over drawing, swapping colored pencils and battered notebooks. ben LOVES lucas, appreciates his pragmatic nature, and they go to the movies together like every saturday night!!
bev and max hang out and smoke cigarettes behind the school dumpsters
can u IMAGINE richie and dustin in the same room? BAD BAD BAD
anyway mike tries desperately to keep will away from richie in the fear that will is gonna like richie’s humor and charm better and want him for a best friend but then he meets eddie kaspbrak and is like “richie’s already got his own will, we good”
also richie is banned from DND night bc he kept creating bards whose only goal was to hook up with mike’s NPCs and mike got sick of his brother fake seducing him
aNYWAY so in this world, the events of It happen during the summer and then immediately that school year, stranger things season 1 happens
will byers goes missing and bill denbrough is so FUCKING scared that It is back, that it’s stolen another child and he’s like leading the fucking search party because there’s NO WAY there’s gonna be another Georgie, not on his watch
he can feel that it’s different this time. there’s no magnetic pull in his stomach, no evidence to make him believe It has stolen will, but he has to find him anyway.
(they find will’s “body” in the lake and bill cries himself to sleep that night because he FAILED AGAIN and someone else died)
meanwhile
richie is SO NOT ABOUT this eleven shit. he wakes up in the middle of the night and mike isn’t in the bottom bunk of their bunkbeds and he hears whispering from downstairs and comes upon his brother and some fucking bald girl in their blanket fort????
mike begs his brother to keep his fucking trashmouth silent for ONCE
but of course richie immediately calls bill and blabs it all bc bill always knows what to do and also they already defeated the physical manifestation of evil and fear so like what could a bunch of stuffy scientists do to them?
and bill helps mike figure out a plan and mike realizes maybe his brother’s kind of cool after all
the two groups come together to fight the demogordon and it’s fucking ELECTRIC because the lucky seven are this fucking MACHINE of love and friendship and mike is like “WHAT DID U DO ALL SUMMER RICHIE?WHY ARE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS AN ARMY???” and richie just grins at him, shit-eating, and says “not much. hung out in a sewer while you and ur nerd crew were playing dungeons and dragons. killed a murdering clown. normal stuff.”
mike repeats this back to will later, rolling his eyes, and will laughs
the next time he sees richie he smiles a small grin and says “killed a clown in a sewer? try living in the Upside Down for three weeks and then get back to me.”

i actually followed you for non marvel reasons but now i'm interested! where do you read comics/ where is a good starting point (esp for young avengers)?
For young avengers theres a pretty linear reading order that goes like this, and a few optional bits before and between.
If you want a little more context for YA Volume 1, start by reading
Avengers Disassembled
It will pretty much set the foundation for why the YA exist. Then you can hop right in with it. This reading order is chronological! I’ve bolded the ones you HAVE to read to understand whats going on.
Young Avengers Volume 1
Civil War: YA and Runaways
Young Avengers Presents (GROUP LORE)
Secret Invasion YA/Runaways
Dark Reign: YA (TOMMY LORE)
This One Issue Of Captain America (PATRIOT LORE)
The Mighty Avengers - #21-35 ONLY (STATURE/VISION LORE)
Siege: YA
The Mighty Avengers - #36 (LOKI LORE)
Avengers: The Children’s Crusade
Young Avengers Volume 2
Hawkeye 2012 (KATE LORE)
After that you’ll definitely have a void in your soul so check these out:
America
Agent Of Asgard
Hawkeye 2016
All New Hawkeye
New Avengers
bucky, seeing someone in the distance singlehandedly taking on thanos: what a fucking idiot
bucky, .00000021 seconds later and about to have an aneurysm: wait that’s MY fucking idiot
do you and richie ever cuddle ?? or hold hands ? (even just platonically !)
Not really. Not at the same time at least. It’s never a mutual cuddling session going on is what I’m trying to say I guess. Sometimes I fall asleep on him during movie nights though. But he’s usually the more cuddly one, but it’s on his terms…which is usually during really inconvenient moments for me.

the 8 part young avengers series no one asked for but i did anyways
Things I haven’t been able to stop thinking about all week: Billy and Tommy are technically half siblings with Viv Vision. They’ve got a lesbian robot sister not a one of these kids is straight
I really want to see them like team up with the Champions at some point and just stop and realize in like the middle of battle or something that wait holy shit you’re our sister we have a younger sister
But I don’t know if Viv would accept them, at least right away, because of everything that happened with her twin brother and mom. Like she turned off all of her emotions because the loss of her brother was so painful, and now she has two more brothers? What is she supposed to do with that information??
Billy and Tommy try to respect that, give her space but still be available if she wants to reach out to them, check in with her through social media to make sure she’s doing okay, offer to help the Champions anytime they feel in over their heads, maybe get coffee or lunch together a few times to start feeling each o ther out
Tommy especially understands the need for space, but I feel like he’d also be a protective older sibling, so he checks in with the other Champions constantly like hey is she doing okay, are you all doing okay, holy shit you beat the Red Skull last week on my god that’s so cool, and in the process ends up adopting them all as honorary younger siblings
Viv eventually finally does turn on her emotions again and has to learn how to deal with her grief and the pain of losing her family, and once she has a handle on it, she starts reaching out to Tommy and Billy in little steps. They’re not replacements for Vin but she can start having a family again
also can we talk about how tj is so obvious about his being whipped for cyrus that they notice that he likes him before they notice cyrus likes tj? like they wouldn’t know tj was gay and he’s not around nearly as much as cyrus is but based on their few interactions with him they can pick that up.
