Lets Talk About Richie and Eddie In IT Chapter Two
** Major Spoilers for IT Chapter Two to follow. You cannot object that I did not grant you a spoiler warning on this one.**
Of all the articles I expected to write about IT Chapter Two, I can definitely say that writing about how they made the partnership between Richie Tozier and Eddie Kaspbrak canonically romantic was not one of them.
I had hoped that the film might dive into the subtext for both characters, but I never actually thought that director Andy Muschietti and screenwriter Gary Dauberman would actually make their association canon, with little to no room for argument. Richie is canonically not straight, and Eddie is highly coded as not being straight either. Richie is also in love with Eddie, going as far as to carve their initials on the kissing bridge in town, which is not something you just do for your best buddy. Eddies untimely death cuts the possibility of romance short, but Richies feelings are still there and Eddies feelings are highly implied.

So here’s the beauty about Richie Tozier.
When you browse his character he never fully reveals his thoughts and especially avoids his feelings. He is extremely complex to scan and analyze.
So we take from the symbolism of Richie’s biggest dread of a werewolf and Pennywise provoking. Werewolves fear themselves and what they are capable of. It is a lot of internal and confused grief.
“The Teenage Werewolf was somehow scarier, though…perhaps because he also seemed a little unhappy. What had happened wasn’t his have fault…Richie found himself wondering if there were many people in the planet hiding bad feelings love that.”
Those bad feelings could be anything. Perhaps thoughts of men in a way that wasn’t ok in ’s. And consider how many bisexuals experience, like they can pass in community but also thoughts of other genders always with them. A werewolf can pass until the moon comes out! SYMBOLISM
Another big one is while Pennywise is taunting him by the Paul Bunyan statue in the book.

Stephen Kings novel It views the end of childhood as the moment that an individual loses their virginity. In an act of love, defiance and desperation, the Losers Club contain an orgy in a sewer. The purpose of the act was meant to express love in the darkest hour. The scene met a lot of criticism when the novel was first released in In the motion picture adaptation, the children detect another way to bond. They make a blood pact. They agree to return to Derry, Maine, to defeat Pennywise should he ever return. But childhood doesnt have a definite end. Certainly, the decision to have intercourse doesnt turn an individual to an adult overnight. Scientists still have not concluded as to when human childhood ends. In the United States, the law says 18, but some experts think 25 more accurately measures the conclude of adolescence.

It: Chapter Two: Bill Hader on Richies Sexuality, His On-Set Injury and Cast B12 Shots
While it was never explicitly stated that Richie Tozier is same-sex attracted in Stephen Kings novel It, the movie It: Chapter Two heavily implies that he is.
“That was something that we talked about when I arrived,” Bill Hader, who plays the adult Richie in director Andy Muschiettis second and final “It” motion picture, says on this week’s “The Big Ticket,” Variety and iHeart’s movie podcast. “I learned about all this stuff about people thinking they’re gay and not knowing if they’re gay and that it was implied in the book. I think Stephen King said he never thought of it that way but he likes the interpretation. I talked to Andy about it and we had a long conversation. We just decided, ‘Oh, let’s just do it.’”
