Poof, Pennywise is suddenly a billionaire profiting off the suffering of others! OoOoOo scaaaaarryy!
tbf, a billionaire right in front of you isnt that scary even if thats what you’re afraid of, its the abstracted effects of their power and actions. A billionaire right in front of you in the flesh is something you can physically harm with your own two fists alone, a widespread system is not.
How about a billionaire in some sort of bulletproof pope mobile surrounded by an army of security who all happen to be people who didn’t qualify to become cops?
Funny thing about “bulletproof” glass is not all bullets are created equal
How many types of bullets do you carry around
Just the ones heavy enough to supersede the bulletproof qualification.
Yea honestly that’s a fucking gift right there.
“I’m Donald Trump now”
“…wait except I won’t get in any trouble for caving your face in? Oh HELL yea!”
“Wait no no NO NO NO”
Well in this comic it seems like he clearly gets bummed and has empathy unlike a billionaire
I was taught dangerous dragons should be killed.
I thought you were talking about my username for a second before looking at the context and was concerned x3
That’s what you say, but if Elon Musk was in front of me, I’d be terrified that he’d do one of his many failed attempts at being funny.
They hurt. They really hurt.

Fucking Instagram. I’m not going to sign up just to browse this user’s posts.
Aha! I finally found the original on https://bananatwinky.tumblr.com/
This is actually the plot of the book IIRC. Pennywise can’t become the fears of adults because they’re too abstract, so he preys on children. Which is what leads to him being defeated by a child orgy
Woah, woah, woah! The child orgy helps them find their way out after defeating ol’ pennyboy the first time and getting lost. The power of friendship (and some help from Gan) is what does the trick. Let’s get our fictional facts straight here.
Is it really an orgy, though? More like running a train, right?
I don’t know why I felt I should start a discussion about the semantics here, so don’t ask me about that.
He didn’t lie, he turned into existential dread.
How “meta” - by sharing our insecurities, we can give our insecurities… insecurity! :-P Take that my personal demon!:-P
We are in fact part of a system rigged against us and free will is a commodified illusion, pseudoscientifically speaking.
Too little time to experience what we want and what we want is a choice within our means of what is available.
“I’m you from the future. I didn’t invent a time machine or anything, but I did promise to try to scare you into doing more with your life. Clown school is SO MUCH fun though!” pulls out a syringe, shoots up right there, overdoses, dies
Now its an existential crisis. Please the people that are so petty they’ll send him back in time to traumatize themselves, or go enjoy Clown School? Crippling New Fear of making decisions: unlocked.
Eat shit Pennywise, you wanna know what’s scary?
Being crushed under a lifetime of debt you know, no matter what you do, no matter how much shit you get right, you’re still permanently fucked, but you can’t stop or you will die. You continue because you have no choice and you know you will die a wage slave. There is no escape.
Fucking werewolves…
Get outta here with that bullshit.
My son’s worst nightmare is a mannequin. Not like a moveable mannequin, but like a clothing store mannequin.
It would give him plenty of time to run, that’s for sure
Has he watched Doctor Who, the first Christopher Eccleston episode, by any chance?
Is that the one where he rescues Rose from those clothing store dummies turned alive? No.
We don’t watch any Doctor Who, every single episode would make him cry lol
I could relate
and we’ll all float on okay…
Fam just needs to take them to the Halls of Illusion.
Free Will Denial is so cringe
what if I’m part of the 1% and I don’t know it.
