i miss reddie so much, like 2019 was the year of them. i miss all the high school fanart, the fanfiction!!! like fucking mixtape?? that shit tore me Apart. there were so many quirkly little fanfics on wattpad that never got finished and i was always so sad because they were so good!!!! as much as the fandom loved (and loves because not all of us are totally dead) to joke about how it was always so stereotypical and inaccurate, there were so many original and unique stories!!! i just miss my silly guys :((
i don’t know what drugs they put in mixtape but there is no logical reason i should still be thinking about something i read on wattpad. it’s been over a year, i can’t escape. please somebody know what i’m talking about i am losing my mind.
I want someone to love me as much as mixtape eddie loves Richie :[ (also yes I'm rereading mixtape for the hundredth time it makes my little queer heart feel so many emotions)
it fandom, does anyone remember Mixtape by tyler sella? that one Reddie fanfic that had me in a death grip, sobbing and breaking down at 3am on my fifth read… yeah. I think there needs to be a support group for everyone who read it. I want to know if anyone else got a printed copy? before the lawsuit thing happened and the author stopped selling them, deleted the book off of wattpad, and left all social platforms… anyone else who actually has a copy today, we must be reunited. start a club or something idk
Richie got Eddie a promise ring and Eddie pretended to hate it so much but really, he couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day. Richie knew.
Sometimes Eddie just goes silent. Usually it's because of his mom or the Bowers gang. When he does this, Richie knows exactly what he needs. It varies day to day but it's always either reassurance, distraction, or affection.
Whenever Richie hears a song he thinks Eddie will like, he adds it to a mixtape. He gives them to Eddie once they're two hours long. Eddie has like twenty of them.
It took Eddie kissing Richie at least three times before he admitted to himself he was gay. Richie, of course, knew the whole time and Richie found it highly amusing when Eddie called him at three in the morning to tell him.
Looking for an Ao3 fic that I've read numerous times but was never smart enough to save. Spoilers ahead, etc.
So the six of them make it out, they're trying to cope and shit, and it turns out that Stan's trying to communicate to the group through Richie, but it only really works when Richie is drunk. There's a certain musician used throughout, whose songs start playing when Stan wants to get Richie's attention.
They eventually gather at Ben's Nebraska house (named after his mom?), after Rich/Eddie had to deal with blindness/darkness issues driving out of Derry, and Ben/Bev had borrowed Mike's truck and the mixtape spit blood out at them (Stan trying to communicate with them but failing).
They eventually get Richie drunk, and Stan takes over, catches up, only lets Richie eat cheese pizza. They eventually go to their separate beds, and I can't remember if Richie and Eddie sleep in the same bed after.
After that it gets fuzzy, but I think things settle down and Richie and Eddie figure their shit out and get together.
Memorable scenes: Richie beating a radio to death with a chair at the Townhouse, which Bill pays for so the rest of them can leave; realizing that Derry collapsed into itself, watching footage on laptops on Ben's counters.
Any help would be amazing, cause omg it's stuck with me so hard and I just want to reread it pls. Thanks!
