Common Tropes

Beep-beep, Richie

In IT, The Losers Club collectively use the phrase "Beep-beep, Richie," to tell Richie Tozier when his jokes have gone too far. In fandom, this phrase is utilized in the same way, but it is also occasionally softened to show that his friends don't actually mean he should shut up but something more along the lines of you're a nerd or I can't believe I love you in a facetious, affectionate way.

Occasionally fandom will also use this term toward the other members of The Losers Club to make a point that Richie is not the only one who sometimes takes things too far.

Richie Tozier Wears Button Ups

One of the IT fandom's favorite pieces of clothing Richie Tozier wears in canon, were the Hawaiian button ups he wore in Chapter One. In Chapter Two he also wore a button up under his jacket. Therefore it is common practice to show him wearing a button up within fanart, and fanfiction. A great number of people also use this style of shirt to Cosplay as Richie.

At some point Hawaiian button ups even became associated with non-heterosexual identities. Due in part to Hayley Kiyoko wearing them frequently, and also due to the fact fandom largely considered Richie to be bisexual.

(CW: Underage Substance Use) Love for the character, maybe? I really don't know why I committed this atrocity and it's not expected, but I'm satisfied! (not much) anyway, all that wasted time couldn't have stayed on my pc without seeing the light of day(? so i'll make your eyes bleed with this attempted meme, (I don't think it's so bad considering it's the first one I do) a lot of blah blah blah ..... no?[note 1] - Song - Can I Get A Witness by SonReal

Anonymous asked: Hey Richie my friends say I'm like you cause I'm overtalkative, don't know when to shut up, make jokes at the wrong time, and make dumb jokes.

  1. ^ Original description in Spanish from the video 【IT】I AM THE MAN -ver.Richie- by turnasol (formerly Tanaka -shan): Amor hacia el personaje tal vez? realmente no se por que hice esta atrocidad y no quedo como esperaba pero estoy satisfecha! (realmente no) en fin, todo ese tiempo perdido no se pudo haber quedado en mi pc sin ver la luz del día(? así que haré sangrar sus ojos con este intento de meme, (igual no creo que esta tan mal considerando que es el primero que hago) pero ya mucho bla bla bla.....no?
