#and billy wants to believe in love

I’m just thinking about how Steve is so gangly and dim and earnest. And I just love the trope that at the root of of him, behind the jock mentality and the stupid Boyness of it all, Steve really believes that love is always going to win out in the end. And when he starts loving billy he maybe has a tiny freak out about it, but it washes away pretty fast under high crushing WAVES of feeling, and then he just loves. Hard and steadfast and he never looks back from it, not once.
It’s just like once he’s been in love with billy for a minute and he knows billy at least likes fucking him, if nothing else, Steve doesn’t understand why they can’t just be together. He gets the danger of it on a surface level but that is inconsequential to him because Steve is going to protect billy, because that’s what he does. It’s maybe a little naive, but it’s so earnest. And billy loves him for that

Why do people keep saying they want Agatha to adopt Billy or that Billy is a motherless child or that Agatha is Billy's new mom.... Y'all he says Rebecca is his mom, canonically in the show. Agatha isn't his mom.
#agatha all along#agatha harkness#william kaplan#rebecca kaplan#billy maximoff#Agatha isnt his mome hes has enough moms hes got Rebecca and maybe Wanda in the future. for THREE YEARS Rebecca was his mom#put some respect on her name#i cant believe i have to keep saying this#agatha isnt his mom. billy isnt a replacement nicky. agatha cares for billy yes but why does that have to be she his mom now?#i love my nieces ans nephews are they my children? no. im their aunt. id still help them need be. agatha has no parental power over billy#i see her as more aunt figure or mentor. why does she have to be his mom? he has enough moms? i thought we settled on Fun Aunt Agatha?#a coven is a non traditional family unit why do we have to put them in traditional family boxes?#hell the whole kaplan-maximoff-shepherd dynamic isnt traditional its messy and complicated. why would you want to water it down?#...........#i saw someone on tiktok say they want Agatha to Adopt Billy....how. would that work? he has two. perfectly alive and loving parents at home?#he loves them? he talks about them? he calls them his mom and dad? he spent 3 years with them? they're not abusive or horrible people!#why would he leave them? again HE LOVES THEM! Did you miss the part where he hugges them and looks at them fondly and they love him?#you want the twin with shit parents that would leave them and never look back? THATS TOMMY!

Thoughts about The Boys (TV) ending at S5
In my humble opinion, Billy Butcher and Homelander deserve to have their final dance together—in Hell.
#the boys tv#the boys#the boys amazon#homelander#billy butcher#sorry as much as I personally love Kimiko my interest in the show ends after HL’s & Butcher’s story concludes#Gen V cannot hold my attention 😔 but I will try#I just want that ambiguous Foe Yay finale for them than HL’s clone (Black Noir) being the one to end HL#I do not believe the writer’s room will depower HL bc 1) that requires more creative brainpower than k*lling him#and 2) it might not ‘feel satisfying’ enough compared to a final big bang#phoenix talks

To continue the woobified view of the Elites and my comparison of them to the Black Eagles :
Same for me regarding the BE, especially because they also literally fought Edelgard's troops in WC when you choose their house, and even if you don't, they definitely still would know that Edelgard dus nasty shits in WC.
The idea that media literacy is dead is quite fitting, because the idea that even rotten persons have loved ones/that having loved ones doesn't mean you're not rotten is a known thing, yet the Eagles and elites get a pass solely because "they genuinely believe in the cause" and "they love and care for each other"
Probably Fraldarius was as devoted to Nemesis as Ingrid to Dimitri, Lamine very well may have been as sassy as Dorothea, perhaps Goneril was as brave and endearing as Caspar, or Maurice was as loyal to his clan's interests as Petra to Brigid's happiness (through a strong bond to the Empire) but like the BE, they are butchers, who relished in the destruction of everything those against them hold dear, lap dogs and rabid curs of someone they definitely know have crushed innocents and scorn the very idea of peace except under their domination.
The only meaningful difference between Edelgard-following BE and the elites is that we can know more about the BE and we are forced to dislike cutting them down even as they refuse to let northern Fódlan alone.
Honestly I need a fanfiction where the BE are called out for that bullshit.
Yep!
That's the tone deaf feeling I got from Nopes, the Deers are hunting someone bcs their leader wants her dead for no reason, but Raph only comments on how hungry he is.
Uh, sure Raph, you're not the most thoughtful character in there, but come on? Some commentary or exposition on what you're doing? Hello KT? Can we have characters be challenged or even react to the events of screen instead of wondering what's for dinner/teatime?
No??
I wouldn't say it's an issue of media litteracy being dead, but more something in the lines of people being more and more "all or nothing" nowadays, without any nuance and conflating liking a character with the idea/image that might project on you : if I like ASOIAF's Cersei, I don't think everything she does is "justified", but modern fandom, I feel like some people would categorize you as a "good" or "bad" person based on the characters you like, and it's just... not what fandom is or was supposed to be imo, I'm here to nerd and gush about favourite characters, not write litteral essays about the Geneva Convention.
Corollary is what, imo, made the Fodlan fandom hell : some people really take "criticism" against a character personally - sure the way FE16 was written invites projection, but at the end of the day, making a Berning Fire Joke is, just, making a joke about a bunch of pixels, nothing more.
Back to the BEs, they can have a sense of camaraderie and genuinely support each other... as they tear apart "people because Supreme Leader told me to" and fight side by side with Bob the Carpented who was turned into Waldi the demonic beast.
Ferdie can skewer Flayn on her father's lance because she is "a creature that has plagued humanity for ages" even if they reached a C support before shit hit the fan - and still protect Mercedes and Bernie from their abusing Fathers. Does that make him a great guy? A nuanced guy?
I think the trope is called "even evil people have loved ones" or something like that?
I don't think so, but he is no random one note villain sycophant either - now, what is the more annoying with the Fodlan games is how this dichotomy is never called upon : everything is just a giant blob or Hresvelg Grey ("morally grey" but only applied to Supreme Leader) where no one really is angry at her, and all the "sacrifices" she's making are off-screen while the characters on-screen always moan about her "ReFoRmS" and "IdEaLs" without talking about the cost bar some milquetoast "but war bad". And no one, in the game, will ever throw this hypocrisy to their face - Gallant Ferdinand will dream about the Opera as he wipes off the blood of a young woman who just wanted to return to the only home she had.
Yay.
FWIW, some mutuals and I have nothing but pure lols about Doro's line in the non-CF routes being "we killed Ferdie professor :'(" because, hey, why should I care more about Ferdie than about random loldier 55 ? Rhea? Felix? Claude? Ignatz?
Maybe the Elites were really friends and became """"nice""" persons with time, to their families and loved ones ?
Does this magically erase what they did before? Will that "good" they did erase all the "wrongs" they have previously done? Will theyr forever escape the consequences of their actions?
In a game that depicts Flamey as a terrorist for 11 chapters only to drop that plot point by the window to moan, again, about her "IdEaLs", "consequences" are maybe something you can eat as a snack, or throw in a trashcan.
So following the rules of this verse, given how Supreme Leader never receives flak for her Flamey stunts, why should the Elites receive any for what they did? Look, Maurice calls Daphnel his friend, surely he is not that bad of a man? Well yeah, he might have seduced women and planted a lot of wild oats here'n'there, but he cares about his friends!
Jeritza likes ice creams and cats! Surely it's more important to paint him as a cat lover than to deal with all the consequences of his stunt as the Death Knight, kidnapping and implied rekting young woman while he was in GM, under Flamey's orders, right?
Calling it now, after eviscerating Seteth's older brother, Goneril might have melted in front of one of Rhea's kittens, and adopted the cat asap. Surely that makes Goneril a "good" character right? And forget the entire "genocided a bunch of hippies living isolated in their village" stuff?
I don't have fanfics recs where the BEs are called hypocrites, but I confess I don't read a lot of fanfics in the FE16 fandom because of all of the aforementioned issues.
#maelor321#replies#i don't even know if i replied to your ask lol#i disgressed and ranted#fandom woes#FE16 was designed as a game where you'd feel bad for fighting against 'your loved ones' aka precious students#the writing and execution is so artificial that they couldn't even make it believable for a second#so instead we are hit with giant signposts that read 'plz be sad now'#like Doro's we killed Ferdie sad uwus#or even Billy's choice in SS/VW of i don't want to kill Supreme Leader/I want to walk with her uwu#she is revealed to be Flamey she has been warring for 5 long years she caught Rhea#she had so many randoms peons killed#and yet the game has the nerve to give us this?#evening salt#SW!Anakin loves his fiancee so much uwu#sure he murders a bunch of babies and toddlers but don't you want to walk with him to create a galactic empire and kill#people who don't agree with him? including his beloved wife?#people conflate nuance and 'grey' with 'my fave did nothing wrong'

Convinced dad to accompany me to Orville Peck as a social experiment. Not an artist I’m that familiar with but hey I know a few songs and he’s a good enough performer on a technical level that it’s entertaining just to watch him and the supporting band do their thing. Kept half an ear on the lyrics out of curiosity as to how identifiably non-heterosexual they were, since it’s kind of part of the (cattle) brand and dad went in with no prior knowledge.
What was interesting is that many of them weren’t strictly clockable and many of those were intuitively clockable. Heterosexuality is so intensely mediated by gender roles that a song about a love interest who drives a rig isn’t as easy to (mis)read as m -> f as a song about a love interest who serves coffee. A song that positions the narrator as a hanger-on or a side piece reads as m -> f when the the narrator is angry or vengeful and less so when the narrator is quietly sarcastic. A love interest that provides comfort or security doesn’t read as female even when a male singer can’t possibly be referring to anything but.
Logically there would be about as many woman truck drivers as gay, but both of them are equally hard to fit into our schema of a truck driver. It’s difficult to imagine a model of heterosexuality not intensely mediated by misogyny; it’s hard to imagine a pop culture narrative or even my real life friends’ relationships position a woman as solid, smart, reliable, or protective. Like with the doctor-fishing accident puzzle, there is a push and pull between misogyny and homophobia in trying to interpret songs/stories that don’t match the societal mold.
Given the historical roots of homophobia in misogyny—homophobia as a violent reaction to relationships with no clear superior in the cases of Edward II(?) and James I, four-thousand-year-old European top/bottom discourse, the conflation of trans women, crossdressing men, drag artists, and gay men as well as the (euro/Anglo but also present elsewhere) societal fixation on that image—I love to wonder if heterosexuality exists.
One common thread through studies of specifically male gay history is that superior/inferior male relationships (distinctions of age, position, or class, cf badgays episode I thiiiiink Qutbuddin Mubarak Shah on slaves being considered boys no matter what age) exist on a different level of social acceptability compared to what we in the present day consider a gay relationship. Superior/inferior relationships aren’t enshrined as heterosexual marriage is and are marginalized as frivolity/peccadillo/improper behaviour, but these still generally have a level of acceptability or at least widespread acknowledgement. Romantic or sexual entanglement between two men of equal status, on the other hand, creates a formal uncertainty where neither is guaranteed to be the superior, where class or position is called into question, where the laws of a patriarchal society cannot apply because the prerequisite does not exist.
Following that thread, a ‘real’ gay relationship is between two men of equal standing. So it goes with the modern conception of lesbian relationships, which have not historically fallen under the same level of scrutiny wrt woman-woman power dynamics because that would require historical writers to consider women having thoughts, and the modern heterosexual relationships.
Except, historically the m/f relationship has been considered (by men) (in many but not all societies) to be a superior/inferior relationship. Many if not most men in the most gender-equal societies today consider it to be superior/inferior, a very real affection born from protectiveness/benevolence/patronage/cuteness aggression as a teacher might feel for a student or an aristocrat for a valet + that just also happens to have a sexual component for reasons of whatever biology. Again, looking at real life people who I know and their rancid dating histories, a lot of men approach dating as a Roman emperor might approach a handsome young house slave.
Following this train of logic: it’s commonly accepted today that the superior/inferior m/m model (often expressed as pederasty) is not strictly ‘gay’ in the modern sense. It’s its own form of relationship that doesn’t really exist in the current conception of love (For Good Reason) but does exist in the current conception of abuse (be it boss/employee sexual harassment or child abuse). Many m/f relationships are conceived of as superior/inferior by the participants. Many, not most, m/f relationships do exist as abusive structures and can only be conceived of as abusive.
Therefore, due to whatever misogyny, historical baggage, and social constraints, ‘real’ heterosexuality is a rare phenomenon, and we have only just recently witnessed its birth as a culturally understood idea. Only with the reform of divorce laws and property ownership in the mid-20th century in a very few countries did real heterosexuality become possible. Most men have not yet achieved it. Straight Men Are Our Smallest Minority Group.
#incoherent post but it fascinates me just how many men are incapable of perceiving another person as ‘object of attraction’ and ‘peer’#many consider me to be ‘peer’ and none consider me to be ‘object of attraction’#meaning I’ve got an interesting outside view as guys talk to me about girls as if I’m not a girl#their ideas of attraction and condescension/superiority are inextricable#we have come to a point where it’s possible for a girl to love another girl but for a man to love a woman?#were it not for billy talent I would not believe it were possible#kelsey rambles#more specifically I liked that some of the song lyrics just have a real honest admiration and esteem for the love interest (Lafayette)#that I found so refreshing. I wondered why it threw me off to have such sentiments expressed by a bass vocalist.#average male songwriter singing about a female love interest is just ‘you look GOOD. I want YOU’#in the very rare cases it isn’t then the lyrics are ‘oh I can take care of you why don’t you listen’#or they’re ‘this cunning minx doesn’t obey me but that makes it fun and different. because women should obey and this one doesn’t’#a lot of man -> woman narration speaks of the woman as a sort of hospitality dispenser whose qualities are solely to enliven and refresh#the love interest is given no texture and no second dimension. or she’s evil and therefore attractively different

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
~GOTTA BE SOMEBODY BY NICKELBACK~
Billy was beyond sick and tired of trying to find someone. He had a person back in California, but knowing that it would come tearing down eventually already put a damper in the relationship. It was just a matter of seeing who’d break down first and cut the other loose.
Turns out Neil was the catalyst.
Trey was always a hopeless romantic; he loved giving roses and kisses on the knuckles at first greetings. It was nice to be loved after a long day of being pushed around by his father.
He also loved to write Billy letters. Pages and pages worth of declaring his undying love. Some of them were poems Billy swore could have been made into love songs.
And Billy kept those letters. They were sweet. He’d turn on the light after everyone was asleep and reread them.
One night, he was so tired that he fell asleep reading them. So, he didn’t hide them in time for Neil to come bursting into his room with sweat already falling down his face.
Panic and cold set in before Billy realized Neil was staring at five love letters, from a boy, sprawled along his bed covers.
With a huff, Neil turned around, opened Billy’s door, and stated, “Pack up.”
A week later, they were out of the house and trekking towards Hawkins, Indiana.
It was utter bullshit, and everyone else knew it. Max didn’t say goodbye to her father, Susan didn’t get to have a last meal with her girlfriends, and Billy couldn’t apologize to Trey and give him a goodbye kiss.
He wasn’t ever going to find someone like that again.
Neil pulled Billy aside before the first day of school, grip tight on his shoulder.
“Don’t fuck this up.”
Billy gulped. “Yes, sir.”
He patted him on that same pained shoulder and grinned maliciously. “Good, now go take Maxine to school.”
He tried. He tried, okay? Girls would bat their eyes at him and slap his arm playfully. They’d chew their gum and wink, hoping he’d follow them around. Or they would think he smiled too lovingly at them, and they’d prance behind him.
That stupid Steve Harrington came into Algebra 10 minutes late.
Billy shouldn’t have looked up, because then he wouldn’t have seen that shine in Harrington’s eye or that charm in his smile.
Harrington took his seat in the front. Then he proceeded to spend the entire class time cracking one-liners at the teacher. And this got the rest of the class to giggle at his will.
Billy mentally punched himself.
Max went missing. Neil told him to go find her; she was with Harrington. And three other boys her age. Nope.
He took his fight out on Harrington. If Billy was to feel pain, then he’d give it to the guy that reminded him of what he abandoned back in Cali.
Months went by, and the two didn’t talk. Billy knew when he walked by Steve Harrington in the hallways based on his shiny rich shoes.
They glared and nodded at The Palace parking lot. Turning up his music was the only way to forget Harrington was two spots down.
Billy would drop Max off at the movies instead of going in with her, especially because Harrington was to be their residential babysitter for the night.
Except one night, Neil is out late with Susan. Some dinner with his coworkers.
Billy didn’t hear much.
But Max was out at a movie with those nerds she spends all of her breathing time on. Billy decided to take a nap. He forgot to set an alarm, so when the doorbell rang and woke him up, he ran downstairs and ripped the door open in record time.
Max hit his shoulder as she walked inside. Harrington was with her. Billy choked on his spit when their eyes met.
Steve cleared his throat and pointed his thumb over his shoulder. “Movie was over, and I drove her back.”
“I see that.” Billy could tell he wanted to say something, and he admitted it—so did he. But where do you start with an apology for almost beating someone to death.
“Well, see you.”
“Whatever.”
Billy slammed the door in Harrington’s face.
That was how things usually ran. Next semester started, and they barely saw each other once basketball ended. Billy didn’t mind.
At first.
Billy missed having stare-downs. He missed giving Harrington a nudge when they saw each other around town with the kids. He missed shoving the guy around. He missed the actual half-conversations they’d managed to have.
What the hell is this.
Then Harrington graduated. Then Billy felt like his senior year was going to be boring as fuck.
Billy saw him at Scoops Ahoy, from afar. He never wanted to get too close. He wanted to apologize officially for his actions.
He couldn’t figure out what to say, though. So, he pulled a paper out from the back of his notebook and started writing.
Harrington,
I’m sorry I beat your face in. I was stupid and it was stupid and this is stupid.
Billy groaned and crumpled up the paper. He rubbed his face repeatedly, creating a rough red burn.
What do you say.
Then the summer happened. He was possessed by some creature and killed people. He even tried to kill the thing himself by standing up to it once and for all. Then it would kill him. Then he’d get redemption for himself.
He felt good about seeing that Max lived. Those other stupid kids. And Harrington. Thank God.
Yeah, he felt good about dying then. But he felt sad. He wanted to hang out with his sister and make up for the shit he pulled these last two years. Hell, the whole time they’ve known each other.
“I’m sorry,” he choked out.
Then he died.
Then he woke up.
A monitor was beeping at his side. His vision was blurry, but as he blinked it cleared up. The lights were blinding, Jesus.
What the hell. Where the hell. When the hell.
A nurse walked into the room with a plastered fake smile. But she asked how he was feeling.
Billy thought he said, “Who the fuck are you?”
What he actually said was.
Nothing.
People started coming in. Doctors, nurses, scientists? Everyone wanted to know what he remembered; what he saw, heard, smelt?
They wanted swabs of his spit for testing. He had to piss in a cup for testing, what the hell. After they were done picking and prodding him, an older man walked in.
He had a gravelly voice, good sense of humor, and something of a caring nature.
“Doctor Owens. How are we doing, kid?”
Billy glared.
“Ah, fantastic. Well, William, we’re going to keep you in here for a couple weeks. We good with that?”
Billy glared harder.
Doctor Owens chuckled and left the room.
Max came in a couple days after. Guess word got around. She ran in and hugged him tightly, apologizing for God knows what.
She pulled away, waiting for him to say something. Billy just smiled and waved her off.
“You can’t talk?”
Billy shrugged.
They spent a good, long time being in each other’s presence. A nurse brought in a notebook for him to communicate with everyone. So, Max would ask him how he was. Billy would draw a shit with flies. She would ask him when he gets out, and Billy would draw NEVER.
Max wasn’t pleased. She went home, but she promised she’d be in the next week or so.
The Chief came in. Asked how he was doing. Billy wrote, NOT GOOD. TIRED. The Chief nodded and took off his hat.
“Understandable. Did they tell you what happened?”
Billy shook his head.
The Chief sighed, took a seat, and explained what Billy wanted to be a nightmare.
The Robin girl came in. She had a box in her arms, so she dropped it on the ground. She folded her arms and bit her lip.
“How’s the bod?”
Billy snarled and wrote, FUCK OFF.
“So, it’s awful. Got it. Anyway. Brought you some books.”
She pulled out the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Billy’s eyes widened. She laughed and placed them beside the bed on the drawer.
“Want me to read them to you?”
Billy ripped a piece of paper, crumpled it, and threw it at her.
She cackled as she waved goodbye.
Mrs. Byers came in. She brought in food. She winked and patted Billy’s hand.
“I was told by a little sibling that you liked lemon bars.”
Billy never loved his sister more. The thought freaked him out, but he was too busy stuffing his face with those dessert pieces.
Mrs. Byers clicked her teeth. “How are you, sweetie?”
Billy sighed, not wanting to answer the question anymore. But he grabbed his notebook and wrote, FINE.
Mrs. Byers definitely knew he wasn’t fine. But she didn’t push it. She just grabbed a lemon bar and held his forearm.
It was comforting.
El came in. She sat beside him, glaring. He glared back.
“You’re not good.”
Billy tried to laugh, but it was wheezy.
He knew he wasn’t a good person.
Not with how he left Trey without another word and came here to the middle of nowhere. He didn’t even send him a letter back.
Not of how much torture he put Max through all these years, especially these last two.
Not of Sinclair when he thought he was bad for Max and caused mayhem. Kid didn’t do anything wrong, Billy knows that.
He didn’t need to be reminded of beating Harrington, almost killing him last year. He wasn’t doing anything, and Billy thought he ruined everything.
Not of all the people of Hawkins when he was possessed and couldn’t fight it. All the confusion when he led them to that drasted place. Their screams when they were tied up.
He didn’t need to be told by a little girl that he almost fed to a large creature. A creature that would have literally eaten her alive.
He wrote, I KNOW. I’M A BAD PERSON.
El looked at his note and shook her head. “No, your body. It’s hurt. You’re tired. Have you rested?”
Billy laughed wheezier, and his coughs could be heard down the hallway.
Max came in that Friday.
Was it Friday. Jesus. What day was it anyway.
She brought in a deck of cards. For Solitaire, Black Ball, Go Fish. Just to keep him occupied in the middle of all the passing doctors to wear him out.
“Have you seen anybody else besides me?”
He nodded and wrote, POLICE CHIEF. ROBIN CHICK. MRS. BYERS. EL GIRL.
Max nodded. “Steve?”
Billy furrowed his brows and shook his head quickly.
“He hasn’t? He’s been wanting to check up on you.”
WHY.
Max shrugged. “He wants to thank you. And between you and me, I think he needs a guy to talk to.”
Harrington came on Saturday.
He looked like a literal kicked puppy; big brown eyes with a swollen purple bruise on the left. Fuck.
He took a chair and scooted it towards Billy. He sat down, stared at the wires hooked up to Billy, and opened his mouth.
Billy glared.
“Okay, I won’t ask you how you’re doing then.”
Billy let out a long, exasperated sigh. He took his notebook.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYE.
“Oh, this.” Harrington laughed. “Russians.”
REALLY.
“Really. They got mean right hooks. That, and good poison to puke off of.” He laughed harder. “It was one hell of a high, though.”
Billy nodded and looked at his own hands. He didn’t know what to do with them. He didn’t want to look at Harrington and want him.
Because why would he want Billy?
Harrington bit his lip and tapped his feet on the ground. “Hey, man. I wanted to thank you for saving us.”
Billy looked at the window, away from Harrington. Harrington’s hand squeezed Billy’s arm. Billy ripped his hand off, shook his head, and tried to face away from the guy he knew he’d love if he knew him more.
“Okay, I get it. You don’t think you deserve this.”
Billy felt tears slip from his eyes.
“But I say that you do. The kids say. Your sister. El. Hell, if the whole world knew, they would say, too.”
Billy wrote in his notebook. I WANTED TO DIE. I WAS READY.
Steve sighed. “I know. But—”
Billy glared over his shoulder. Harrington saw how red his eyes were.
“Do you want me to leave you alone?”
NO.
“Okay, good. Because I don’t want to go home.”
WHY.
“It’s too quiet there.”
They turned on the TV and watched it until the sun set. The nurse had come by for the night round and saw Harrington passed out in the chair. She almost tapped him on the shoulder, but stopped once she saw how Billy looked at him.
He didn’t want Harrington to go. He looked at the nurse and shook his head. She nodded and grabbed a blanket from the wardrobe they had set up by the door.
She made sure his medicine was replaced and running, tucked in his feet and poofed his pillows, and bid him goodnight. He waved at her with a gracious smile.
Steve finally looked peaceful when he slept. He looked like Sleeping Beauty, and that made Billy chortle.
He took out his notebook after a long time of staring. He started writing an apology.
Harrington,
I’m sorry for everything I ever put you through. I was an awful person. Hell, I probably still am.
My point is, I took so much of my anger out on you, and that wasn’t fair. I was so angry at how careless you were. Are.
But you care so much about everyone around you. The kids love you. Their parents love you. I think even that Byers dude with your ex loves you, too. That Buckley girl definitely loves you; you’re probably her best friend. I know her in school, she doesn’t have many friends to talk to.
Anyway, I appreciate all of what you’ve done with Max. You’re her second older brother. You’re doing what it’s hard for me to do. I’ll get there, I promise. Once I get out of that house.
Trey was my first love. He was amazing, funny, and charming. I loved him, I think. But I left him behind and I regret it.
Billy sighed. The pencil danced above the paper for a second. Then, he wrote the most heartfelt, honest words he’s said in years.
I’m not a good person. I know that. I want to be better, and I’m going to try. For the kids, for Max, and for you. Especially for you.
Because I want to love you. I want to take you out and dance with you. I want to kiss you on your doorstep and hope that you’ll kiss me back.
I understand that it will take time, and I want you to know that I want to wait. I can wait.
And I promise that I will love you.
Billy’s hands shook as he finished the letter. He looked at it once over before folding it and placing it on top of the Lord of the Rings.
He’ll give it to him tomorrow.

"I support Dacre not Billy" okay 🤨 and what do you think Dacre would say about that?
#fr tho you're out here looking goofy 💀#Billy is like Dacre's beloved firstborn you're lying to yourself if you think he's okay with people hating Billy#like did Billy do some problematic shit? yes. Does Dacre recognize that? also yes#but he also loves and supports Billy and hypothetically wants to see him learn and grow and blossom#he doesn't believe Billy is bad or evil or has some kind of inherent issue that makes him unworthy of love or support#so#you know.. maybe you should evaluate yourself idk#billy hargrove defense squad#billy hargrove deserved better#billy hargrove antis dni

•He likes to believe he has complete control over his surroundings
•He likes to imagine himself as a Jaguar; opportunistic, stealthy, adaptable, and an Apex predator
•And then there's you, here to snap them back to reality
•If he's a Jaguar, you're an annoying bird that follows him
•All this made clear when He's just standing in the kitchen and feels a hard smack on his Ass
•He whips his head around to see you, running at full speed and giggling
•For a moment he's completely stunned
•But only for a moment
•He’s quick on your heels
•In less than 10 seconds he's holding you in the air by your shirt, like holding a cat by its scruff
•You can immediately tell through the mask how pissed he is
•But for a few seconds he just leaves you suspended in the air, and soon enough he makes his decision.
•He walks to your shared bedroom and drops you onto the bed
•You think you're in for some sexy-funtime
•That quickly washes away when Michael turns around and walk out the door
•When you get up to follow you find that he's locks you in by putting a chair under the handle

POV: You’re entire personality is crying, stabbing people, and having Daddy Issues over a man you’ve never met instead of the one who raised you for 13 years before leaving.
