I can't explain it, but this feels like a Steve story.
Like, I feel like Steve is one of those people who seem so normal but have had so many not normal experiences it all just feels normal to them?
The type to tell stories that leaves a room dead silent when he expected them to laugh. Tommy was fascinated from day one "I can't let my best friend know how weird he actually is".
Say, imagine if he's traveled with his parents, I would not be surprised if little Steve talked to a serial killer at one point, he's super friendly when not bitchy. Face of a guy comes on the news while they're eating breakfast, Steve "Mom, my friend's on tv!"
It was the nice man who helped him cross the street and find his parents when he wandered off.
Steve having had actual Home Alone experiences at some point, inspiring the movie somehow.
Steve dealing with the party and being a good babysitter cause he rolls with shit. "Yeah, this is normal kid shit, I'll go with it." It is in fact not normal kid shit, Steve, your experiences are not universal.
Just give me your weird Steve headcanons please, I crave them.
Tumblr has doubled the limit for the Billy Community Membership
I can now invite 50 more people. I'll be sending out invitations to mutuals shortly. If you'd like to join the community, please feel free to reply or send me a DM, don't be shy :)
Invitations are sent via DM, so if you receive a DM with a random link from me, it's real.
So far so good imo, I'm interested in seeing how communities advance as tumblr begins to roll out more features. I always have a good time with the billy fandom no matter what we're doing.
why would you publicly post about a ship where one half is a violent racist (billy)?
Because he was an abused kid. He should probably have some good ole therapy, and time to heal after you know, being abandoned by his mom to a violent and abusive father, being taken away from everything and everyone he knew, kidnapped and attacked by a monster, made to do things he didn’t want to do, tortured by his little sister when pleading, mind controlled, and then sacrificing himself to save people who actually hated him. I don’t think that is an intrinsically bad person.
Hurt people hurt people. You cannot view a character from 1985 with the lens of someone in 2024.
Many older queer folks also clock him. As an elderish queer, I see a FUCK TON of my internalized homophobia and posturing in Billy. As an abused kid, I was an asshole at 17, too. I said things I would regret now over a decade later.
Also he’s a fucking fictional character, my dude. Be soooo for real right now. This is the hill you stand on? Not all the pedos and shit on this site?
Y’all ever been reading some fanfiction and you just randomly check back into reality. And realize you’ve been reading 100k words of domestic bliss and fluff about two make believe people. Like no action, no violence, no plot, just two people living their lives and having conversations about home renovations.
The concept of Big Brother Billy is over looked. IMO i think in that space of time where he tries to be GOOD but needs to practice and work on his anger he'd be a fucking menace.
I NEED TO SEE:
Billy throwing a guy into traffic because he was passing around a polaroid of a naked girl Max's age
Bartender Billy smashing roofied drinks into the skulls of creeps eventually getting demoted to bouncer bc they cant deal with the chaos
Helping joyce carry her groceries to her car and then aggresively bangs on a car that almost runs them over
Shoving the kid's bullies into garbage cans
Billy Hargrove tearing apart someone's car (probably steves lets be honest) bc a kitten got trapped inside
WAY too protective of El and Max. Like when they're all dolled up and looking cute to dance he joins them and drinks except to scare off unwanted advances and surpersives wanted advances
no cops at pride just Billy Hargrove and an axe. I trust him im not gonna lie i trust him with my whole heart.
Billy in general, when someone he cares abt is mad/sad bc of someone else:
