GUIDELINES:

While I am still unsure of what route to take this blog towards, since I made it in the first place for my own comfort, for now I would prefer to keep it's audience as 18+ only, as the blog touches on heavy subjects and adult topics. If you're underage I kindly ask that you do not interact. Otherwise, you will be blocked.

I will allow non-RP blogs to send asks and follow me on this blog but you are not allowed to spam likes on my posts or start a RP thread with my muse. Please respect that.

Usual blacklisted things: racism, p//dophilia, inc//st, pro-ship, antisemism, pro-life/anti-abortion, homophobia, transphobia or any LGBTQ+phobia of any kind will not be tolerated and you will be blocked on the spot.

Any form of infantilization/demonization/belittling/romanticization of //ssault or any other type of physical abuse, s//lf h//rm, or any mental condition will not be tolerated, which will also result in an instant block.

This blog involves an ocxcanon ship, if you're bothered by that because you think it's 'cringe' or other reasons of your own, I invite you to unfollow and/or block.

FAQ:

1. WHAT IS THIS INTERPRETATION OF THE CHARACTER?

This is an older/senior interpretation of the slasher character Billy Lenz from Black Christmas 1974! It is mainly based off of the audio commentary of the movie where Nick Mancuso reprises his role as Billy years later.

This interpretation of Billy has been institutionalized, and he has successfully made a positive recovery (enough to at least be able to be allowed out in the world again and become a functioning memeber of society.) He is currently an eccentric elderly man who works at a theatre, lives in some neighborhood forgotten by the world in Toronto, with his 2-3 cats and his partner.

Despite having been treated and being on medication, he still has a tendency to sometimes go out of his way to break into other people's attics and either steal food from them or people-watch in the creepiest way possible, or make one or two weird prank calls just for a reaction. Not enough for someone to have a reason to report to the police, but enough for him to find it entertaining. His habit of making calls and entering others' attics specifically is now less of a disturbed impulse to re-live his past and more of a ritual he feels compelled to do from time to time, kind of like an odd holiday tradition. Thankfully, he often just stays in his own attic when he feels this urge, mainly because of two reasons: his sundowning syndrome, and side effects caused by some of his medication.

2. WHAT TIMELINE IS THIS UNIVERSE TAKING PLACE IN?

The timeline of this universe takes place 20 years after the original events of the movie. This interpretation of the Moaner lives in the early 90's, more specifically, 1994. He is currently 59 years old (pushing 60).

Just something to keep in mind if you'll reference modern things or pieces of media in asks, as my muse likely won't understand them because timeline-wise it doesn't exist yet.

3. WHO ARE THE OTHER CHARACTERS LISTED?

(OC RAMBLING BEWARE!)

They are OCs of mine! We have Elis and his headmates: Jessica, Max, Benedict and Conductor (this character has DID/OSDD, just for clarification); and one other side character oc that may not be very present since I'm still unsure of what to do with him, but he plays a part in Elis' backstory so... I've decided to include him here for now: Gabriel.

Elis is Billy's partner! They ended up in the same mental insitution and after being released they decided to live together. He's awfully introverted but he is just as eccentric once you get to know him and his obsession for insects- specifically centipedes.

Jessica is Elis' closest friend, a wannabe singer and actress. She sees Billy as a friend, although she envies how much better his acting skills are compared to hers.

Maxwell is a grouchy old man and a fragmented recreation of Elis' late abusive father. He dislikes basically anything that isn't reading, and practically just wants to be left alone. Billy makes him umcomfortable (much to his sadness) therefore he tends to avoid him.

Benedict is- well, also an old man but he's more of a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. He's sort of like a happy ragdoll- whatever you do to him he just lets it happen. Kind of like those kitten videos. He views Billy the same way Elis does- a partner. Although he's noticeably awkward when it comes to show displays of affection because he's not used to how 'feral' Billy's personality is.

Finally, we have the Conductor. He's a kid that LOVES trains of all kinds. Daydreams of being a train conductor of his own toy trains somehow (and real trains). He's a menace to toystores that have functioning toy trains for sale. (He's almost verbatim based off of the song 'My Trains' by Lemon Demon). He doesn't tend to interact with Billy or anyone else that isn't Jessica, he finds her at least fun to interact with and talk about his trains. Everyone else he labels 'too boring' or 'too weird'.

The last one to be named would be Gabriel. He's a whole other separate character that has nothing to do with Elis or Billy's story. Like I aaid earlier, I want to experiment with the guy on this blog and see if I like having him here since he does take part in Elis' story. An average cat lover and a peculiar painter who's always looking for new muses to make into pieces of art (quite literally, he kidnaps his victims and turns them into grotesque pieces of 'art'), and eventually (backstory-wise) his eyes fall on Elis.

4. WHAT BECAME OF AGNES?

Agnes is alive and far away from her brother in this universe. She has successfully fled from Billy back when he first snapped and locked her in their parents' basement.

She grew up in an orphanage, and eventually when she became an adult she went to live on her own; now she works at a lonely coffee shop that really only has two frequent customers, one of which she has developed an interest for.

5. WHY ARE BARB AND JESS INCLUDED?

In this universe, Barb has survived Billy's attack! It has caused some cardiac issues, but ultimately she survived. She and Jess obviously still have contact, and more often than not Jess checks up on her friend, as she feels this odd sense of responsibility over Barb's well-being after the murders that shook both of them up all those years back. They tend to meet and chat at a particular coffee place they both enjoy.

While these two are mostly just meant to be side characters that might pop up from time to time, I am indeed interested in writing them, fleshing out and exploring their characters more!

[[ Important thing to consider about this blog!

Keep in mind this portrayal of Billy Lenz is going to be different compared to the original movie or others' ideas due to a divergent scenario this character finds himself in now.

[oldmanlenz]

I was wondering if there was a FAQ & beginners guide to this blog? I love the idea of an older Billy

Nnnot exactly! But I could make a quick summary of what's going on in this character's life as of right now for ya, anon! And anyone else that might come across this little blog since it's been growing.

Long post below.

Okay so... first of all, for the Frequently Asked Questions....I haven't really recieved any various questions about the same topic OOC, so, nothing to that I suppose.

(Slight TW for mentions of deceased pets)

I feel like I should talk a bit about the blog itself before going on about my muse, so here goes..

- Regarding asks, if I take a long time to reply to you, please be patient! I'm most likely not available at that moment or I'm not in the right mindset to play as my muse. There's quite a few of them that I still plan on making a small doodle for, before replying ;v;

- Most of the asks are going to be interpreted as telephone calls my muse will recieve(unless you point out whatever action or imply an action that is meant to be like- face-to-face) as a way to keep the whole 'unknown person on the line of the vintage telephone' vibe that Black Christmas has, except we know exactly who's on the line but shh.

- I don't want to pin this post since it's quite long, but I might create a special tag for this here so you know where to look, might add it to my list of other tags too.

Also, I think this is pretty obvious, but DNI:

If you are homophobic, racist, truscum, etc. the usual horrible things that people like me do not want on their sight.

Unkind and hostile reminder that if you infantilize/demonize/belittle/romanticize *ssault or any other type of physical abuse, s*lf h*rm, or any mental condition this character portrays, OP does not want you here.

And now, to shed some light on this interpretation of the boyo, so you have an idea:

- Billy's current timeline is not the modern time! If it was, he'd be pretty much long dead in 2021. This interpretation of the Moaner lives in the early 90's, more specifically: currently the same year as the release of Wes Craven's New Nightmare(in 1994). He is currently 59 years old, and it has been 20 years exactly ever since the events of Black Christmas(1974).

- this interpretation of Billy has a significant other! It's your usual ocxcanon. This whole old man Billy AU was created in the first place because I had this silly idea about this ship growing old together, and here we are. And before you assume, let me clarify: no. The oc has Not been made on purpose to be shipped with Billy(I have actually been working on him and his backstory since last year), and this blog is not going to focus a lot on this character, since it's meant to portray the fictional slasher in question. I was even planning on taking out my oc for the sake of 'keeping this blog as canon as possible' but decided against it since there's really nothing wrong with it, there's other people who've shipped ocs or self-inserts with slashers (if you think it's cringe, kindly consider unfollowing). For the most part, I ended up wanting to keep him as a cryptic 'room-mate', but I might shortly introduce him sooner or later...

Side note for those that showed interest in the past: As much as I thought on making a blog specifically for the oc, I decided not to, since ocs don't tend to get a lot of attention unless you're like- planning it out with friends and such. And I've still got to write down a lot about him, I'm not done figuring out his entire character and timelines of specific happenings😞

- Billy has two lovely new neighbors around! @singrobin and @marinacharkov (both ocs my friends decided to make to join in this funky old man's life)

- Agnes is alive! I may play as her at times since I feel like her character deserves a deeper look as well, but rarely(not necessarily in flashbacks or whatever past memory Billy has) since, again, this blog is specifically dedicated to portray Billy. But she no longer lives in Toronto or anywhere close, she's far away and far happier having left her old home behind. Jess and Barb are also alive(look I mcfuckin love Barbara and, while her death is the best and most iconic out of them all in the movie, I simply don't want to accept she's gone, so, in this interpretation, Billy's attack left her with major injuries, but she survived. That dramatic reveal as Jess opens the door to see both Barb and Phyl dead? I do not see it😌 I pretend it does not exist, I do not percieve it), Barb has too moved far away from Toronto, leaving Jess the only one still around there.

- One of the two kittens Billy owns is named 'Claude Jr.' , but he is not the original Claude, despite him always referring to him as just 'Claude' and taking out the 'Jr.' , the original has long since passed, and Billy hasn't gotten over his death(to the point where he blames himself for it), so he tries gaslighting himself into thinking that the kitten is actually the real Claude, just 'temporarily smaller'. So when he calls Claude, don't be fooled because it's not the same old cat you see in the movie.

- This interpretation of the Moaner is gay, and very much closeted about it. No matter how hard you try, he will not admit to it in public or to a stranger on the phone, the only thing you'll get out of him(if you insist) is a fit of rage before he hangs up on you, or a temper tantrum as he lectures you about how not gay he is via a perverted rant that sounds just about the same as the first phone call in the movie. Pig noises 2: electric boogaloo.

- This interpretation of Billy has to take medication for his mental conditions(medication that often affects his eating and sleeping habits).

And as for said mental conditions- I would still prefer not to share too much on them, not right now at least since 1- it's quite emotionally tiring for the OP, and 2- I would have to look up and study most of them again before coming in here and talking about it, because I need to be sure of what exactly it is I'm typing down because I want it to be accurate, right now it's all just sorta fumbled in my mind.

Tag dump!

|👁| <it's me! = anything related to Billy! Mostly for my own posts.

*not in your attic - ooc = out of character stuff, of course.

//it's cold out here...// - lore = anything backstory-related to my interpretation of Billy that is obsessions/dislikings he might have or show, it is mostly bad past memories though. (Hint: he has tried to suppress his memories of Agnes, so, anything that reminds him of her might end up with this tag)

//Oh dramatic relief I thought it was me// - lore = anything else, again, backstory-related or funfacts about Billy that aren't negative

//THE CAT?// = Claude. Or any cat related stuff

//creep? Hmm..I take offense for that.// = anything NSFW-ish

//*clears throat* it- ith's me, Biwwy// - asks = asks, any of 'em.(in-character)

//lurking around the house// = aesthetics.

[oldmanlenz]

Tiny little update on this since I've gotten more tag ideas and just stuff overall I feel like I should add as a tag.

//WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABY?// = Agnes Lenz - related content, either from Billy's memories or not. She'll be making a few re-appearences here(since my interpetation of her is still alive). Not directly towards Billy of course, she's forgotten/repressed most everything about her brother, hell she assumes he's dead since he's pretty much vanished.

//*heavy breathing*// = stuff about movie/fiction interests Billy has(which canonically includes The Shining, Rosemary's Baby, A Christmas Carol, etc.)

//do it the old-fashioned way...// = other stuff/people's art about other slashers or not. But then again, much like with the last tag, idk how often I'll use this. I might use it for other things too about Billy since- well, this blog is about Billy.

//forgot the popcorn..// = possible RP tag, then again I might just use it for long posts instead. Why did I use this sentence to name this tag? Because of this stupid joke I had in mind that reading through long posts is like watching a movie, therefore- popcorn time.

Tag dump!
