I'm not a Jocelyn fan either. She's toxic and vile, but I find her more compelling in a lot of ways than say, Lily Ortiz – especially when the writers want the readers to see Lily as this pure as the driven snow angel who can do no wrong. Jocelyn is horrible, but she did put her life at personal risk to save others at Homecoming paid a steep price for it. She was also hit hard by Cody's death, so there's some humanity there too, even if it's just a drop.

There’s a lot to this ask so I’m going to tackle the littler bits first, starting with the ILITW cast and their weaknesses.

The It Lives characters are all incredibly flawed in their own ways. Their stans don’t think they’re innocent: they acknowledge and embrace those flaws because those are what make the characters so human.

Ava’s biggest flaws are that she’s kind of reckless, and that she’s sarcastic toward people who are easily angered which endangers her.

Andy’s biggest flaw is that he gets angered very quickly, though he has good reasons for it, he still does fly off the handle at times. Anger leads to rash and not very well thought out decisions, which can very easily get you hurt or killed, especially in a horror series.

Stacy’s biggest flaw (which we do see going away as the book goes on) is her fixation with appearance and status.

Lucas’s biggest flaws are unwillingness to ask for help and biting off more than he can chew, which are also behaviors that are dangerous enough in real life, but potentially deadly in horror series.

I can’t really say what Dan’s biggest flaws are because we get so little interaction with him in the series, and all of Noah’s flaws can be attributed to the trauma he’s faced throughout his life, as even before Jane died, his parents had a lot of issues with their marriage, which was something he was aware of and tried to shield his sister from.

If Noah dies and takes Jane’s place, the ILITW crew is shown and stated to be completely unaware of it, the MC being the only person who knows of Noah’s true fate. Given this, the same could probably be said if the MC dies and takes Jane’s place. It’s not that the ILITW crew used the MC: they simply aren’t aware of the true nature of their death.

And given all the chaos and trauma that took place in the book, it’s perfectly understandable why the ILITW crew would want to move on in their lives without revisiting the ordeal more than they need to. I’d probably do the same. However, they’re more than willing to help out in ILB, and they still meet for pizza every year so they never fall out of touch and never forget what happened and those they lost.

It also makes sense why the MC can’t and won’t let go of their supernatural experience. Jane, their best friend, died right before their very eyes, was stuck as a shadow monster for a decade, and then Jane’s brother Noah (who arguably becomes MC’s closest friend as a result of their shared loss) dies and takes her place. The MC probably feels some survivor’s guilt and feels as if they’re to blame for what happened, and wants to make it right by “fixing” things if they can, which is why they’re devoted to becoming a monster hunter/tracker.

None of these characters are perfect. Absolutely none of them. But what person is? To have a flawless, completely innocent character who has done absolutely no wrong is completely unrealistic.

Moving onto Lily, who I’ll admit isn’t my favorite of the bunch.

It is true that the ILITW crew is dealing with some heavy shit. Abuse, blackmail, estrangement, familial neglect, PTSD, struggles with identity, struggles with ostracism. That is very true.

However.

Lily’s big life-or-death issue isn’t merely that her crush doesn’t like her back, that’s kind of an oversimplification. She’s mercilessly bullied because she’s fat (and maybe there’s a bit of homophobia thrown in there too, I’m not actually 100% sure) and she’s preyed upon by her crush and her crush’s friend who think manipulating Lily and humiliating her on homecoming night is funny.

Lily is not a physically strong character. She can’t fight, she runs away, and is generally no help in a fight. But not every character can realistically be an action hero and badass. She also suffers from low self-esteem from the bullying (which she mentions occurred throughout her childhood as well) and has little to no confidence.

To be frank, to say she thrives off of playing the victim comes across as victim-blaming.

Lily does shove Ava and yell at her for almost killing Jocelyn in the fight, and I’m not trying to excuse that because that’s pretty harsh, but I’d probably chalk her reaction up more to adrenaline and fear than trying to pin all the blame onto her. Lily did foreshadow early on in the book that the monster could enthrall Ava using her powers and was probably aware that the monster had some form of control over her during the fight.

Additionally, she doesn’t seem to give Jocelyn a free pass either: she was visibly scared and upset during the fight where Jocelyn had the upper hand and after all is said and done, the principal is the one who tells her (and Stacy) to help Jocelyn to the nurse’s office.

Lily doesn’t blame Ava and doesn’t hold any rancor over the fight after everything has settled down. Her reaction is pretty much on par with everyone else’s emotions in the ILITW crew after the fight: fear, helplessness, and guilt. I mean, she almost watched someone get strangled to death in front of her.

She does acknowledge the possibility that Britney changed and began treating her better because of Redfield, but doesn’t want it to be true. She acknowledges it and probably deep down knows it’s true, but still wants to give Britney a chance because they used to be close in childhood. She even states at one point that Britney used to defend her from bullying when they were young. Lily wants to give Britney a chance to change because she remembers all those fond memories as kids, but also, her confidence is so depleted from the years of bullying that she just wants someone, anyone to show some semblance of care for her, even if it isn’t completely genuine.

Hell. I’ve been bullied throughout my whole life, and I’ve dated people who treated me like absolute shit just because they paid attention to me. Lily is absolutely the type to do the same. I empathize.

Should Lily survive the events of ILITW, she goes on to create a successful indie video game with a sequel in the works. That didn’t surprise me because she mentions having gone to a coding camp, and she also had a 4.5 GPA in high school. She’s used her wildly smart brain and incredible drive to find her own success and further her own life, just like everyone else from the ILITW crew.

Which is why your statement about everyone else bettering their lives “while she gorges on pizza” comes across as incredibly and unapologetically fatphobic.

Lily is not my personal favorite. She’s actually my least favorite of the ILITW crew. But every character brings something to the group. Lily is timid, meek, and suffers from a lack of confidence. She’s not a fighter and she’s frequently terrified throughout the book.

But she still helps the group. She helps research, she helps obtain the hospital records when the group visits Dan, she risks life and limb to go into the woods and perform the binding ritual, and she does it again to save Andy. She faces her fears time after time after time.

So in a way, though Lily is fearful and afraid throughout the book, she’s actually the bravest character of them all.

(8/12/22)

I personally love re-drawing other's art. I find it fun and exciting, as it brings me a new challenge to use different art styles. Today, I decided to re-draw Redfield from a lovely drawing I've had sitting on my desktop for a while. (Original picture is below mine.)

Credit to the original artist!

sometimes you just fall in love a little too much with your girlbestfriend and it becomes this toxic thing and after a fight it falls apart but you are left totally changed because of her and what you had together. and you will carry her with you until you die and in return you will haunt her as well. and that is yuri

ILITW Reunion fic

Hello so this fic has been in my google docs forever now, and I decided to finally finish it, so it stopped haunting my google docs.

Anyway hope you enjoy, to summarise this one shot. ILITW Gang meets Redfield!Noah again after the events of It Lives Beneath. It's awkward as hell but what did everyone expect

------------

Claudia’s last talk to Mai Vance about what to do with Noah was still on her mind. The rest of her friends still did not know what she had been doing this past year and she knew deep down they deserved to know. So she finally got around to tell them. It went as well as she expected, a lot of yelling, a lot of questions and some people asking if she was being mind controlled. After a while they had accepted it….mostly.

Well, at least they had agreed to meet him again, for closure she guessed.

There wasn't any real talking when walking into the woods between them. Some murmuring, Claudia didn't catch any of it, she couldn’t be bothered.

"So you are sure this is safe…right?" Claudia heard the voice of Lucas next to her.

"Yeah of course I wouldn't bring you guys here if I didn't think this was safe"

"It's not like he's going to try to kill us again?" Stacy said under her breath, Claudia pretended not to hear that, she didn't feel like doing the same conversation she has had with them a million times before. She knew Noah would not intentionally hurt anyone…pretty sure. It was that bird incident a few weeks back but she wasn't gonna mention that now.

When the group arrived at the familiar clearing, Claudia stopped and the rest of the gang followed suit. Claudia tried to feel for it, the power that was thriving in these woods. It seemed calm enough for her to try this. The rest of her friends looked at her kind of unsure what was gonna happen next.

“Hey Noah, I brought our old friends with me, you know the old gang wanna come and meet them again?” Her words seemed to be carried away by the wind. Everyone in the group seemed to look around the place after she said that.

"So how does this even work?" Lucas asked.

"I call out to him and he shows up if he feels like it," Claudia answered.

"... that doesn't answer my question" he replied with "Just trust me, okay, I know what I am doing, been doing this for a while"

“Sure you do,” Ava said while she was laying down on the forest floor. Claudia was about to protest but could not bother. If they wanted to, they could leave, but she wasn't gonna force them to stay here.

After a few minutes, Noah had still not shown up. Claudia was used to it, like whatever, maybe he was doing something he thought was important. Like scratching up the walls of the old ruins, playing with the vine dog Cora gave them, or just sulking. However, when Claudia looked over at her friends, they didn’t seem to have the same patience as her and seemed to have gotten more fidgety.

"Is he even gonna show up or what?" Andy snapped while pacing back and forth impatiently. Claudia felt like everyone was thinking the same thing, but he was the only one brave enough to say anything about it.

“He’s gonna show up, ” She tried to reassure her friends. "He wouldn't let me down like that"

She hoped the others in the group didn't hear the uncertainty in her voice.

Suddenly she noticed something through the trees. A shadowy figure standing staring, well speak of the devil as they say.

"Noah you're not slick, I can see you"

The rest of her friends started to look around

"You can come a bit closer, I promise they won't bite," she said, suddenly the figure disappeared, and then she felt a presence behind her. By the others' reactions, she could already guess what was behind her. So she turned around to face the lanky shadowy figure with glowing eyes.

“Hey dude, for a moment they thought that you wouldn’t show up,” Claudia said pointing behind her where her friends were standing.

“Crazy right!? like you would ever do that” Claudia said in a half-joking manner, trying to ease down the tension that she felt was already building up.

Noah was staring up into the sky, avoiding eye contact with the rest of the group at all cost, as Claudia suspected. Claudia tried to wave to get his attention, then he looked down at her. She was used to his eyes feeling like they were staring through her soul so she didn't flinch away. She pointed behind her where the group was standing. He was still looking at her with the same intensity as before, she gave up trying to give hints and just said it like it was.

“You know you can at the very least greet them. They did not come all this way for you to say nothing to them” Claudia tried to encourage him. Noah then quickly glanced at the rest of the group, raising one hand.

“..sup...” he said hastily and glanced back to look at Claudia again just as quickly.

“Well, there’s no denying it’s him at least,” Andy commented. Claudia noticed that Noah glanced at Andy after he said that. Andy started to tense up a bit and Noah just as quickly glanced away again.

“Hello” Dan finally said after what felt like minutes of awkwardness. Claudia and Noah turned their heads towards Dan and he started to wave weakly.

“How...How are you feeling today?” he continued trying to give a small smile.

"Dan, that's the question you're going for?" Ava said

"Well, what would you have gone with?"

"Not the one that makes it obvious what you are working as a therapist"

"That is not telling anything, a lot of people start conversations that way"

"Eh kinda agree with Ava there" added Andy.

"Oh not you too!"

Claudia turned back to Noah. He was looking at the three of them who had started to bicker with each other. She was hoping he did not get too confused by it.

"Hey are you okay?" she whispered to him, trying to make sure no one was listening to what she said. Noah started to nod a bit and then turned to look at his old friends.

“I feel….fine…” Noah finally said, which made everyone go silent and turn their heads towards him. Claudia saw that Noah was not used to all this attention so he crossed his arms defensively.

"Well that's good to hear," Dan said with a smile. "Like Ava mentioned I'm working as a therapist now so that's been fun, been enjoying that"

Noah kinda just stared at Dan for an uncomfortable amount of time before giving him a thumbs up.

"...Claudia mention…" he replied.

The group looked at Claudia.

“May have told a bit about you guys to him. Try to make him remember stuff and catch up with stuff that has happened since…it all happened"

"Really? So what do you remember then?" Stacy asked towards Noah.

"Noah.." he pointed towards himself "....Stacy..?" He pointed back at her. Claudia nodded to tell him he was correct.

"you…write..?" he said, while mimicking how people type on a computer keyboard. Someone gave a nervous laugh, Claudia wasn’t sure who.

"You are correct I guess," Stacy replied. Noah looked happy with himself by that, Stacy less so.

"What about me?" Lucas asked seemingly a bit curious.

Noah thought a bit longer on that one before he pointed at Lucas.

"...Lucas…know-it-all…” Noah said, Lucas stopped smiling after he said that.

This time Claudia was sure it was Ava that was laughing.

"Speaking of remembering stuff, isn't there something else you want to tell them?” Noah stopped looking at the group. “Like the whole reason, we are even here to begin with”

Claudia stepped aside so Noah was just standing in front of the group. He tried to follow her, but she gave an angry glare back at him and he stopped in his tracks. Then he turned his gaze back to the group.

"..sorrrrry…." he looked just at a point above where everyone was standing.

"..so so so so...sorry…"

"...messed up...bad...sorry…"

The group didn't say anything back, like what more was it to add to that. Claudia could see that Noah started to fidget with his fingers again.

"...at least…happy end.." he added at the end.

"It’s not all happy though?" Lily said

Noah tilted his head and turned his attention to her. The sudden shift of focus made her jump a little, which Claudia did not think Noah had noticed. Claudia could also see that Lily avoided looking directly in his eyes and continued talking:

"As this whole thing must be awful for you, isn't it?" He stopped trying to look into Lily's eyes and looked down at his hands. Claudia wanted to ask if he was okay again, but he said something before she could ask anything:

“...Everyone alive… Noah dead...happy ending…” then he gave two thumbs up with a stupid grin to the rest of the group. Lily’s eyes widened in horror and the rest of the group gave a similar look as well.

Claudia hid her face in her hands and started to groan quietly to herself. She should have planned this better. Of course, he would say stupid shit like that. It was probably his way of making everyone feel better. In his undead funny way and not having proper human contact with anyone except her, she was terrible with social interactions as well. Poor boy didn't stand a chance.

At the same time, it's not like her just writing him a script or telling him exactly what to say would have been better, probably way worse. Why did he have to say that? C’mon!

“...said...wrong..?”

Claudia sighed deeply and was about to answer him but before she could, she got interrupted:

“No of course not, it’s just a depressing thing to say” Ava answered him. Unlike Lily when he turned his unnatural gaze towards Ava she did not try to look away, almost looking like she tried to hold a staring contest with him.

“Like jeez, yeah you messed up, but like even I am not sure if you deserve…. this?" she gestured towards him.

Suddenly Noah’s eyes lit up with a neon blue color, he pointed a finger at Ava. She started to frown, looking straight at the long shadowy finger.

“..wait…” and suddenly he was gone. Everyone was standing around shifting around a bit, staring at Claudia like she had answers to what he was doing. She had no idea what he was doing.

“We came all this way for him to just bolt after five minutes,” Stacy broke the silence in frustration. Claudia was not sure if it was directed at her or if it was Stacy just talking to herself

“Nah, he’s coming back, trust me,” Claudia still answered. After a few seconds after she said that, he came back again. It looked like he was holding something behind his back.

"...yours...sorry.." he said and dropped a long shiny object on the ground in front of Ava.

"Wait, is that a..?" Dan started to say.

“A knife? Oh yeah, that's my knife alright,” Ava realized while picking it up. Parts of the knife were shining in the moonlight, but a lot had gotten rust on it after those three years and was probably completely useless now.

“...sorry...” Noah said again.

Ava looked at Noah and then at Claudia. Her eyes were going back and forth between the two of them. In more rapid succession, before she settled on looking at Claudia.

Ava widened her eyes and shrugged towards Noah like she was not sure what to do or say next. Claudia just shrugged back at her. She was not even aware that Noah still had that thing after all those years. Why would he even bother keeping it? Guess he could not exactly get rid of it when she was thinking about it.

"Thanks...was missing that one," Ava said reluctantly, taking her thumb over bits of the handle that was falling off. Ava pressed her lips together into a forced smile.

“Thanks...I appreciate the gesture man” She said and put the knife away in the pocket of her jacket.

Noah didn't seem to notice her reluctant tone, or maybe he did but didn't care. Because he looked back at Claudia rather proud of himself.

"...anything else?.." Noah asked, trying to look at the group again.

No one answered him, they were mostly looking at each other.

"Well I don't know" Andy started. "I don't think there is anything else"

Noah's eyes brighten up when Andy finished talking

“....leg?”

“....huh?”

“Your Leg…” He pointed a finger at Andy's leg "broken…right?"

"Oh well it's not broken anymore, it's been like 3 years dude"

"three…years…" Noah looked down at his hands again "…three years?". It looked like Andy realized what he had done and quickly changed the subject.

"Heard you saved Tom's life?! That's pretty cool"

"Tom?….yes Tom…friend!" Noah exclaimed. He then calmed down and crossed his arms again.

"..was nothing…"

“Dude c’mon! You saved my best friend and other people as well when the dam in Pine springs broke. Claudia told us” Andy pointed towards Claudia who nodded to confirm that she did indeed tell them that.

“Besides, my leg is doing fine now, see!” Andy started to demonstrate by doing a high kick with his leg with no problem. Which almost hit Claudia in the face.

“And besides with both my legs working, I could kick your ass now if I wanted to, trust me” Giving a smug smile.

For a few seconds nothing was happening, but then Noah started to laugh. Andy looked at the others frowning.

“...good luck...” Noah finally managed to say and continued to laugh at Andy's comment while hiding his face behind his hands.

“Huh?”

“I think he's challenging you, you should go for it dude” Ava tried to encourage Andy.

“Nope, no fighting” Claudia interrupted the banter between them.

“Well it's getting late, so better go back," Stacy said.

“Yeah I agree,” Lily added on.

“Well we’ll see eachother soon” Claudia said to Noah before she was about to follow the others.

“Wait!” Noah said

“What is it No..” before Claudia could finish the sentence Noah was hugging her, well more like curling around her.

“Oh,” she blurted out. It did not feel like much, kind of like a cold mist.

“Thanks..for...everything,” It sounded more like how Claudia remembered Noah to sound like. Which made her smile a bit, it would sometimes happen when they hung out long enough.

"Yeah of course Noah, we're friends, right? I know we'll figure this out"

He pulled away holding his hands on her shoulder. It looked like he wanted to say something else, but he stopped himself before doing that.

“Bye…” he said and then he dissolved into the air and was gone.

"Was that sweet or weird"

"Kinda weird" Stacy admitted

"But mostly sweet" Lily tried to add

"Let's say both," Dan smiled.

"Okay, can we go back now, these woods are still really creepy," Lily said and pointed in the direction where Claudia’s house would be.

"Yeah, of course, we can even order pizza, I’m starving" Andy suggested

"Sounds like a plan" said Lucas

The rest of the group walked way ahead of Claudia. She turned her head around back to the wood, she saw that Noah was watching them walk away. She gave a weak wave at him, before joining the others.

The Misfortunes of Shadow Boy

Summary: Fletcher Blackwood knows that he is still in there, somewhere. And that is all he needs.

Pairing: Noah Marshall x MC

Word count: 586

TW: Cursing

Notes: ILW has reignited my undying love for my MC and Noah, so here you go!

The others do not understand, but Fletcher knows.

He knows that the person Noah Marshall once was is still in there, somewhere, beneath swirling shadows and behind eerily glowing eyes. He knows, knows with his whole heart, that if he could somehow just grip all that darkness and rip it away, like a dark costume or a billowing cloak, he would see him standing there, beanie covering his hair, some strands falling loosely in his eyes, hands buried in the pockets of his jeans, probably a grin and a sarcastic comment on his lips.

“He is gone, Fletcher”, Stacy always says. “And good riddance”.

“Don´t say that”.

The anger growing deep down in his stomach at those words is almost uncontrollable, more monstrous than most of the things he has met in that godforsaken forest and not nearly so easy to kill. But he tries to anyway, because he knows what Stacy and the others have been through, what they have all been through, and that they only want what is best for him, although it is not what they think it is.

And anyway, they do not know what they are talking about, they do not know him like he does.

They do not visit him every day, trudging through the forest when the sun is setting, the red and orange light falling through the leaves and painting the ground, calling Noah´s name until the undergrowth rustles and a light breeze blows through the trees.

“Friend?”.

“Yes, Noah, friend”.

They do not know that one run-down room in Redfield´s house, where Noah keeps memorandos Fletcher has brought him, pictures of Jane and him, their young faces glowing with happiness, pictures of him and Noah from the old photobooth in the town´s tiny cinema, his favourite records.

They do not sit in that room for hours, playing cards and talking or at least trying to.

“You remember Jocelyn?”.

“Jocelyn? Bad…”.

“Nah, she´s actually kinda cool now”.

“…Friend?”.

“She´s started giving me nicknames, so yeah, I guess”.

“Nicknames?“.

“Yeah, she calls me Shadow Boy“.

They do not see the look on his face when they listen to one of his favourite bands, do not hear the giggles escaping him when Fletcher starts singing at the top of his lungs, jumping around.

No, they do not know him like he does.

But of course, it is not enough, it is never enough, because Fletcher wants him back. He wants him back so badly that his heart aches, so badly that he sometimes dreams of the moment the shadows finally, finally evaporate like mist to reveal his pale face. He wants to go to the cinema with him, wants to throw his popcorn at him, laughing. He wants to watch Noah cooking with a look of pure concentration on his face, wants to eat whatever he has made and smile, because it is so fucking good. He wants to hold his hand, to kiss him, to feel his hot breath on his skin and hear him whisper his name. He wants him to go to culinary school and be fucking happy, because he deserves that.

God, he wants him back so badly.

The others do not understand, but Fletcher knows.

And so, he ventures deep into that damn forest everyday, leaves crunching and twigs snapping under his feet, unable to stop a smile from forming on his face when he finally sees those blue eyes blinking happily out of the darkness at him.
