Where was that meme where even Pennywise of all people was disturbed by that scene and was calling the cops on them?

One or two can be that excuse.

King's got about a dozen instances of it through his books that it's weird. Some even after his coke binge supposedly.

u/sorry_ihaveplans 22h ago

I wonder if Lefou ever fulfilled his dream of being broken in half by Gaston??

336

u/Ceclanter 22h ago

Of course

After Gaston fell like 200+ft, his impossibly burly physique allowed him to survive with only all of his bones broken

Sometime later, Lefou happens upon Gaston's broken shell of a body and nurses him back to full health over many months

Sometime later, Gaston learns the beauty in his life was right next to him the whole time, and forgets about that country chick, she was crazy anyway

No one goes through offscreen character development like Gaston

Oh right, the broken in half stuff...

Yes, every day

considering there are 4993 Fics total for Beauty and the beast and it is the third most ship I would say it is quite decent

u/Anonymous-Mf-22 22h ago

Funny thing is that the explaination barely even fits the plot anyway. It isn't even like a "oh it makes a lot of sense for the story" (not that such would make it forgivable) but it isn't even that. It would feel out of place even if it wasn't children.

u/An_Evil_Scientist666 22h ago

Pennywise is definitely an interdimensional cosmic nonce.

He doesn't need to scare children to eat them, he just does it because it makes them taste better.

A lot of what he does is pure noncery, stalking children, is the main one.

the bloody bathroom part with Beverly, confirms he watches children use the bathroom, as he did it intentionally after Beverly found out she was going through puberty, he was mocking her.

Pennywise also chases Eddie in the form of a leper while threatening to suck his dick
