some romance + vaguely usfw headcanons about billy because his eyelashes are so pretty and got me thinking
billy has such pretty eyes and spends half his time glaring at people. super long eyelashes. i suspect he is a crier at times - mostly my justifications are he spends so much time emotionally repressed and angry that any time he feels anything else he is probably overwhelmed immediately. this side is probably more easily accessible when people are kind to him, praise him (praise kink certainly), and/or break him down a little. [ although i see this only in more romantic based dynamics and not merely 'fucking'. ]
he's also probably a chaotic bisexual & switch. i debating his sexuality for a while since his interactions with steve in canon were questionable and loaded within my interpretation of it, i was sitting pondering about it. but i think in reality, my billy is attracted to pretty people first. and the second phase is those who treat him well + understand him beyond the surface level stuff. he has a type (but also willing to venture from his usual type as well, just depends dynamics)
This being said his relationships with men is far more chaotic than women because he deals with a lot of internalized homophobia, stereotypes, fear of the repercussions since it wasn't really woke then and his dad is awful. He would also struggle with submitting to another guy 'cause that's so different than how he is and how he portrays himself.
Depending on verse/dynamic it is possible but under certain circumstances otherwise Billy would probably be the 'top' or willing to 'switch' in most male x male relationships but nearly never exclusively bottom. He has a fragile ego and doesn't want to give out control to anyone else easily.
Billy probably would eventually come to like / accept being taken care of in aftercare scenarios and melt if he got comfortable of the idea of submitting over control (in any fashion & not just position wise). After enduring so much and trying so hard, having no worries + decision making required would probably be stress relieving for him. But in the end, I do not think he could really be controlled or tamed or even pacified for very long before he's back on his bullshit.
His type is pretty, kind, soft people typically. Those who pose little threat to him and treat him well, feel safe, etc. Also the sort of people he can protect. Although I think another sort of dynamic that goes well with him are people who are equally toxic, can hold their own with him, and can put him in his place. [ he has mommy and daddy issues, so please boss him around. ]
He is an extremely jealous partner and lover. I think this one probably goes without saying. It stems a lot from his own insecurities but he cannot stand the idea of losing those he is invested in/cares about. It branches off probably making him overprotecting and hovery as well at times. The type to wait up for his partner to get home so he can go to sleep without worries or show up randomly to pick his partner up from places to make his presence known. Insecure and stubborn. [ he probably often leaves a lot of marks on his partners, a visible reminder. ]
He is unlikely to cheat on any of his partners simply because his abandonment issues are so strong despite how he might seem or appear.
Strong choice for the Voyager writers to make TNG-Q a misogynistic creep. It didn’t pay off at all and actively made me hate his character but hey, it was strong.
The infamous Date Soma, Captain of the Uminyudo pirate ship, the capital ship of the Funayurei pirate fleet famed as one of the five largest pirate fleets and the worst one to come across, is most well-known for his tenacity, the imposing aura every survivor remembers him by and the rare swordsmanship only recognized in some northern parts of the land of the rising sun as part of the emishi that had been shunned from Japan by the imperial authorities' legacy. Never has there been a single enemy lucky enough to escape the Funayurei after choosing to stand against Soma regardless of whether they were pirate ships or royal fleets, and only those he has personally granted freedom to can rest easy at night without keeping an eye open.
In spite of his reputation as a ruthless pirate however, Soma takes great care of the pirates under his wing and often grants the innocent a choice rather than immediately sinking them to the bottom of the sea. This kinder side towards his own men, paired with his strategies, resilience and greatly amassed power, is the main reason why many continue to obey him, as well as why many prefer to steer clear from the places he's known to be at, much too afraid of accidentally directing his wrath towards them. In the same vein, Soma upholds his pirate code down to the letter, never once having violated it.
Most of Soma's time is spent on the Uminyudo, at times boarding other ships of the Funayurei as well depending on the circumstances, but it's not an incredibly rare sight to come across him at various taverns either. When setting foot on land, it's always with the intent to either acquire (better) alcohol or to sell rarities he's come across at sea for exorbitant prices, but unlike many pirates, the Uminyudo and the Funayurei never attack ports nor cities where civilians can be found. As such, the general public's opinion on the Uminyudo remains rather unclear - with some wishing for him to be caught and killed, and others offering to cover for him if need be.
The Uminyudo pirates and the Funayurei fleet
Named after the Umibozu yokai from Soma's birth region of Tohoku, the Uminyudo primary ship as well as its allied forces conform to the myths of japanese folklore that stem from Umibozu and its creation of Funayurei.
The Uminyudo pirates are rumored to only attack sailors when the sea is unusually calm, most often on nights with a clear moon, and as such "the calm before the storm" has become a collective fear of all those who set out to the sea without baring a pirate flag. The Uminyudo under Soma's leadership may choose to spare the sailors willing to hand over all of their ships' goods, but the naval ship they are a part of will always either be destroyed or made their own in his wake, allowing the sailors' escape to only ever be made on smaller or makeshift boats. That being said, there have been instances (though few in number) in which sailors have chosen to become pirates under Soma's leadership rather than risk their lives to reach the mainland on their own.
In comparison, the Uminyudo's treatment of other pirates depends on several factors - from the number of pirates onboard, to their infamy, and to the state of their ship/s. For similarly large pirate groups, there is generally little mercy to be shown, and the Uminyudo endeavors to sink every massive pirate ship until theirs is the last to remain, therefore also perceiving each pirate fleet as an enemy. When it comes to smaller pirate groups, though... the Funayurei pirate fleet has gained its name after sinking hundreds of pirate ships and granting them the privilege of making a choice: to either sink and die as proud pirates under their own flags, or to discard their former identities and join Soma's fleet. With the fleet being comprised solely of defeated pirate groups that chose to obey the Uminyudo, they are considered "ghosts of pirates who have died at sea, seeking to bring others down with them", hence receiving the japanese folklore name of Funayurei.
As opposed to the tactics used against sailors, the Uminyudo and Funayurei tend to use the weather to their advantage when faced against fellow pirates, creeping in on them during foggy, rainy or stormy conditions and taking them by surprise, typically already dealing cannon blows before the enemy can become aware of their presence. As such, many lesser ships have started sinking before they could even tell that there is an enemy nearby, and many have sank as a result of cannon fire paired with rough waves.
Though there have been cases of other pirates or naval fleets successfully sinking Funayurei ships, the worst of their losses have always resulted from accidentally encroaching on siren territory after being tossed wayward by the rough seas during storms. Unable to make contact with other ships from the fleet and being beckoned to sail even closer to the sirens after listening to their mesmerizing songs, many pirates from the Funayurei have found their final resting place deep within the waters, leaving only their empty ships behind as warning. The Uminyudo (and thus Soma) has never personally experienced the call of a siren nor has it ever seen any, but it has found plenty of its allied ships laying in the middle of nowhere with no soul left on board to tell him their tales. After years as a ship captain and then as a fleet commander, the first siren Soma has laid his eyes on, is Seiroku.
