I'm Glad My Dad Died

mungrove | slightly expanded version of fic written for @strangerthingscharityzine | ao3

.🌱.💀.🌱.

Billy had a secret: he was glad his dad was dead. So glad that even when his mom sold their house in Ocean Beach and moved them to Hawkins, Indiana, uprooting him from his friends and the sea and everything Billy loved, he still wouldn’t go back to the way things were. Given the options—California, dad alive; or Indiana, dad dead—he’d pick the second every time.

He would, even though Hawkins was its own hell. Learned the hard way that among prepubescent country bumpkins, embroidered roses on your shirt and hair like Shirley Temple bought you a one-way ticket to Loserville.

It was the fall of 1979. Disco was dying and former flower children were gearing up to vote for Reagan. Kumbaya over, time to make America great again.

So, yeah—sixth grade sucked, but stuff at home was world’s better. They were living with Aunt Doris—because San Diego was too expensive, his mom said, and wouldn’t it be nice to get a fresh start?

Mom was really into the whole fresh start thing—which Billy suspected was fueled by guilt and determination to be the kind of mother she hadn’t been before. And… he appreciated that. He did.

But—he wished she would stop? Put down the pen, step away from the extracurricular sign-up sheets.

Because if the outfit put a target on his back, swim team aimed the bow, and band fired the arrow. 

You’ll miss the water, honey. And you love music! 

She wasn’t wrong. He did love those things—but not enough to willingly wear a Speedo in public or blunder through some Beethoven on the flute. Also in public.

Oh—why the flute? Because she’d fed him a steady diet of hippie tunes from the cradle and knew how much he dug Jethro Tull. Perfectly reasonable explanation—his peers would definitely understand.

Here lies Billy Hargrove, innocent victim of social homicide. 

The bullying was relentless, but Billy figured he could take it. No middle school bully could come close to the one he’d lived with all his life. 

You know, the one he was glad was dead.

.🌱.💀.🌱.

Billy hadn’t wanted to attend the talent show, but Mom insisted it was important to support his friends. By which she meant her friends—women she’d been palling around with who had kids in said show.

Kids she’d been aggressively arranging playdates with like Billy was five. 

Patrick’s talent was making twenty free-throw shots in a row. Robin’s was singing “This Land is Your Land” in four different languages. His mom and Mrs. Buckley had laughed about keeping the less than patriotic lyrics, assuming the Spanish rendition would fly over people’s heads.

Billy felt bad even thinking it, but he did wonder if his mom pushing these particular friends at him was part of her fresh start campaign.

Pat was black. Robin was a girl. And his dad had a habit of muttering snide remarks about anyone who wasn’t a WASP packing a sizable stinger—who wasn’t a clone of Neil Hargrove, basically.

And look, Pat and Robin were—fine. But he knew and they knew that they were only hanging out because their moms wanted them to, which was awkward as hell. Made his palms sweat whenever they were together or whenever they said hi at school despite him being a fairy freak according to kids whose opinions mattered. 

They were nice, but it felt like pity. Embarrassing in a way that made him shrivel up inside.

So he wasn’t in the best mood, slumped in the auditorium between his mother and Doris, praying no one pelted him with shit from behind. Mom felt crappy enough about all those years with Neil—Billy didn’t need her kicking herself for scooping him out of the fire and into a frying pan.

Pat set a record—28 in a row—and Billy clapped. Robin sang her song wearing a daisy crown, and Billy clapped. Dully, he watched as stagehands set up the next act, hauling out a drum kit.

Gareth, this shrimpy sixth grader, sat at the drums. Then an eighth grader came out, followed by a couple kids in seventh, the former bearing an electric guitar, one of the latter a bass. The guitarist waved, leaned into the mic—skinny guy with a buzzcut, eyes big and dark as an alien. 

We are Corroded Coffin—paused as a contingent of the audience went nuts—and this song is called Paranoid.

In the next row, a kid whispered, excited: Think they’ll make Coleman pull the plug again?

Gareth banged his drumsticks, counting them off. 

The opening riffs were like nothing Billy had heard before—this grind of chords that rattled teeth, thrummed in the chest. He straightened, compelled forward, a fishing line hooked deep.

Buzzcut was bent over the strings so low that all you could see was the top of his head, a fuzzy cue ball. Then Gareth kicked in, and the front man wailed the first verse, this nasal staccato, sort of speak-singing.

Billy scrambled to decipher the rapidfire—caught bits of the first verses. Then the bridge begged for help, and the rest landed loud and clear.

I need someone to show me The things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make       true happiness I must be blind

The words were meant for him—just for Billy. It’s me. The guitarist leapt, plunged into a driving solo. The song’s about me.

Make a joke and I will sigh And you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel And love to me is so unreal

Helpless, Billy turned to his mom, who grinned, whispering they’re great, aren’t they? He could only nod, swinging back to the guitarist, riveted until the final blaring note.

For Christmas, Billy unwrapped the smallest package under the tree—a cassette. It was all he’d asked for: Black Sabbath’s greatest hits album.

Because that night of the talent show, he sold his soul for rock n’ roll.

More specifically, for heavy metal.

More secretly, for the boy with the big brown eyes.

Eddie, he’d found out at school the next day, gossip overheard at lunch. The boy was Eddie.

Eddie Munson.

And whenever Billy caught a glimpse of him, the rest of that year, he thrummed like an electric guitar.

.🌱.💀.🌱.

Unfortunately, his passion for headbanging and powerchords did not meaningfully improve the remainder of middle school, and by the time he walked the stage at eighth grade graduation, Billy resolved to make a change—give himself a fresh start on his terms.

First, he mowed endless lawns and bought a new wardrobe: bootcut jeans with matching boots, which lent him some height and a certain swagger; button downs in dark colors worn open to his sternum and white tees like the crew from Outsiders; a bitchin’ leather jacket.

His hair had progressed from Shirley Temple to Farrah Fawcett, so he trotted to the barber for a Bon Jovi bi-level. Almost chickened out at the mall when he got his ear pierced, but loved the way the earring swung from his left lobe… though the right would’ve been more accurate. 

He quit band and swim. Thought maybe he’d try basketball instead, and enlisted Pat to help him practice.

They were actual buddies by then.

Lastly, he took up smoking. Marlboro Reds, because they were badass. Soldiered through the pack all summer, suppressing a gag on every pull till he was puffing like a chimney.

August before ninth grade, Pat’s brother let them tag along to a party at the quarry; if Billy got in good with upperclassmen, it could pave the way to social acceptance—maybe even… popularity?

Total pipe dream, but then… it worked.

That night was one for the record books: first time smoking dope, shot-gunning a beer… first time a girl went down on him.

First time he’d seen Eddie in two years. Wouldn’t even have recognized him, except the eyes hadn’t changed. Eddie was a junior and looked it: taller, wild dark hair to his shoulders, tattoos peeking from his sleeves. He made a brief appearance and vanished—there to sell some supply, not socialize.

Billy wished he’d stayed. Admitted then what he was most excited about for high school: the chance to see Eddie Munson again.

.🌱.💀.🌱.

Ironically, the object of Billy’s obsession had suffered a fall from grace in the transition to the big leagues: swirling rumors swore he was a Satan-worshiping anarchist and a burnout to boot. A weirdo who played geeky games with his loser friends.

Except—unlike Billy, Eddie didn’t give a fuck. While Billy strutted around vaguely unsettled, ill at ease with his costume, this immersive performance for the foreseeable future, Eddie had unveiled his freak flag—reveled in it, let it fly.

Regret gnawed at him, grew in Billy’s gut—knew if he were a little braver, he could trash this cool kid stuff and… 

End of Eddie’s senior year, Billy was sick at heart. Knew he’d missed his shot.

.🌱.💀.🌱.

So imagine his confusion, surprise—his hidden euphoric delight—when Billy spotted that dark mop atop a wiry frame loping across the parking lot on the first day of eleventh grade.

Eddie should have graduated, but for whatever reason… hadn’t.

Thus, a new resolution: seize this chance. Be Eddie’s friend.

By second semester, Billy had worked his way up to casual chit chat and also, incidentally, was a raging pothead—so much so that his mother was worried, and she had spent the 60s stoned out of her gourd.

Let him experiment, Doris advised, winking at Billy over dinner. His grades are fine. What’s the harm?

The following evening, Doris showed him her special cookies stashed in the freezer, cautioning him to only ever take one bite and be patient. Billy asked if he could give one to his friend.

Top tier moment, right up there with Dad dying. Eddie’s eyes lit up all starry, demanded Billy come hang so they could make like Keebler—try the old elfin magic—and Billy was blessed to learn that Loaded Eddie = Handsy Eddie.

Blessed and cursed, because Eddie learned that Blazed Billy = Honest Billy. Tell me a secret, Eddie said, tickling. Tell me a secret.

Nothing happened. Eddie was just… affectionate. Bit of a snuggler. Who now knew he was the reason Billy was such a metalhead. 

And that Billy was glad—about his dad.

.🌱.💀.🌱.

Eddie was held back again, and suddenly math and history were Billy’s favorite classes because Eddie sat next to him in the back row. Seemed to do decently with Billy there egging him on.

Thus, his final resolution: graduate with Eddie. Drag him across the finish line if necessary. Billy held study sessions he didn’t need at the library after school, invited Eddie to join—and Eddie did.

Eddie invited Billy to come see his band play at a local bar on Tuesdays—and Billy did.

Tell me a secret, Eddie said one weekend, when they were sharing a bowl, and Billy snorted, gazed into bloodshot eyes. Glad you got held back. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be doing this. Eddie smirked, soft. Getting high? Billy laughed. Hanging out.

Billy turned eighteen that March, and the Buckleys and McKinneys came over to celebrate, as usual. Unusual was the doorbell as they were about to eat, Eddie and Wayne trooping in, sorry for being late.

Robin picked up on something that night—cornered him in the bathroom. Are you and Eddie…? Billy went tight, and she rushed to reassure. It’s okay if you are. I am, too. So Billy breathed, calmed. I am. I dunno if he is. Robin arched her brow. From where I’m sitting, odds are good.

Billy spent weeks yanking hope by the roots.

.🌱.💀.🌱.

Come May, they walked in green cap and gown—hugged in the milling crowd, Eddie cackling wet in his ear, a clinging koala. Didn’t think I could do it.

Billy brought him along to Robin’s graduation party. In the backyard, her old childhood treehouse beckoned, and they heeded the call.

Tell me a secret, Eddie said, sitting back against mossy boards. They weren’t even high. He flicked Billy’s earring—set his heart swinging. That should be on the other side, Billy said, and stared until Eddie flushed red, understood. I got a secret, he said, and Billy didn’t dare to know but did. 

Eddie said it: I’ve wanted to kiss you all year.

A click as Billy swallowed, bone dry. Then do it.

And Eddie did.

.🌱.💀.🌱.

[cyberpunk2007]

Imagine being exposed as one of the worse types of people, and your apology is this. Shame on her. This is not an apology, do not let her trick you into thinking it is.

(click read more for quick context for what she did)

Reminder for anyone trying to defend Kris, the grooming allegations aren't the only thing she's being accused of and you guys using the kid saying "I wasn't groomed" as proof she's is a good person are just making yourself look like uneducated idiots.

She at 18, knowingly shared revenge pics/vids of Jennette Mccurdy on her Twitter and posted the link in the bio of one of her YT videos, talking about how she found the pictures hot.

She also, before it was wiped, posted publicly on her twitter/X that she commissioned Shadman for art, received said art and posted the photo of the art on twitter, where the girl in the art looked suspiciously young. In a video, its shown she hand this art hang said art up in her living room. She both before and after this has spoke about still supporting him and even said to Keemstar himself that she knew what Shadman did to Keem's (at the time 8yo) daughter and doesn't care.

She has also openly talked about being into l0li, has defended Keffals (a known lolicon and alleged groomer/p3d0) and has verifiably spoke about nsfw content with minors.

This has been brought up multiple times before but her die-hard fans accuse her detractors of "transphobia". As this may be true for some of them, the evidence speaks for itself and a trans-fem myself, Do not defend this woman because she's trans! She has used this to sweep this under the rug before, just like many others before her, and we shouldn't let this happen again. Not for her, not for anyone

Ava Kris Tyson Situation - All Facts

Ava Kris Tyson of Mr. Beast has been accused of THREE things:

Sending inappropriate messages to a minor

Associating with and owning art from CP "artist" Shadman

Sharing revenge p0rn of Jennette McCurdy

Accusation 1:

Ava was in contact with @/LavaGS from when he was 13 and Ava was 20. LavaGS is now 20, and has stated that Ava did nothing wrong and that LavaGS was never exploited by her. [Tweet]

Ava was in contact with LavaGS via Discord and over public tweets on Twitter. Ava and other members of the Mr. Beast crew met up with LavaGS when he was 16. [Tweet]

The tweets included jokes about sending nudes.

ImBrainFreak was in contact with Ava when he was 15, and ran Ava's private Discord server alongside LavaGS.

Unvetted: Ava allegedly sent snaps to LavaGS with the statement "cumming for America". The image exists. A video of Ava snapping someone also exists. [Video] ImBrainFreak also claims Ava had an NSFW bot spamming p0rn in a Discord server with minors present. No screenshots were provided, and ImBrainFreak says that he and LavaGS wiped the server. [Video Tweet]

False: Account @/Clip_Hub_ shared fake screenshots of Twitter DMs. The tweet got community noted. [Tweet]

Important note: The accusations stem from Prism42 (@/priapismtv7088) who has admitted to being on contact with EDP. [Channel]

Accusation 2:

Shadman is an "artist" who draws l0licon. He has also drawn CP of real children, including Keemstar's daughter when she was 8 (circa 2017).

Ava did publicly tweet at Shadman, and owned a print of his art. [Mr. Beast Video]

It is important to note that many YouTubers and public figures defended Shadman, before and after he drew real children. As of 3 hours ago, there are 49 creators in the thread of who associated with him. [Thread]

Important note: Keemstar replied to Ava saying that he brought up the Shadman situation to her in private and she didn't apologize. Another creator points out that Keemstar still interacts with Belle Delphine, who is still associated with Shadman. [Tweet]

Accusation 3:

The accusation comes from a video on Ava's old channel. [Clip]

It's unvetted if the statements in this video are "edgy jokes", or if a link to revenge p0rn actually existed in the description.

Proofless Accusations:

@/Clip_Hub_ accused Ava of having a reddit account u/tysonboy34. It can not be proven if this is Ava or not. [Tweet]

Many influencers have accused Ava of being a p3do. These accusations come from Sneako, who argues that the age of consent should be the "age of maturity" and openly likes the exploitative film Cuties. [Sneako]

Important note: Most baseless accusations use Ava being trans as "proof". These accusations also come from accounts with a history of defending p3dophillia. Tristan Tate was among the accusers, who is a suspected rapist and sex trafficker. [BBC]

There have been countless transphobia-based attacks on people not even involved with Ava.

Ava's Response Thread

Ava is permanently stepping away from Mr. Beast. She apologized for her "past behavior", and stated that there was no grooming, pointing to LavaGS's thread.

TLDR:

Ava Kris Tyson shared messages with a minor that included sexual jokes and content, and had another minor run a Discord server for her without compensation. She associated with an extremely popular artist who has drawn CP.

Ava allegedly shared NSFW content with this Discord server.

This is not an excuse for transphobia. Don't trust every source you see. Remember to listen to the victims here and not harass anyone.

Jennette McCurdy & Drew Barrymore on Complicated Relationships with Mothers | Barrymore's Backstage "Does someone have to die in order for us to be able to tell our truths?" "I think if saying the truth ends a relationship, I think it's probably a relationship that needed to end." "How do you get over guilt and shame if they're still alive in order to tell those truths?" Love that they get into the complex feelings that come with wanting to speak our survival story and emotional truths. It's been something I go back and forth on so hard as I've been finally really speaking up about the reality of my childhood and even my young "newly"-disabled adulthood as it brought a whole new kind of abuse into my experience. For so long I was scared to really talk about it more than just vaguely because I genuinely feared for my safety if anyone ever found out I was sharing this stuff online. Sometimes I still have intense waves of anxiety and dread (and nightmares I'm being harmed) over it, and then I'll go delete a bunch of posts about the kind of abuse I've survived, and how I'm still to this day gaslit about it. Most of the time now I feel really empowered because I am absolutely allowed to talk about this stuff. I'm an adult with autonomy and the right to my reality. I do NOT need permission or approval from my family to talk about the impact my childhood or the past 10 years as the disabled scapegoat had on me. If that upsets them because it "makes them look bad", that's actually on them. No one you hurt "makes" you "look" bad when your actions and behaviors are actually what was bad. Own up to it, maybe? Do better, maybe? And stop continuing to blame me for everything. I just find it kind of pitiful now. Sorry if that's harsh, I know we all have our own pace and path. But I have no time or energy for their stuckness. They've shown me that they aren't safe to be around, and I take my safety and health very seriously. No more sacrificing. This isn't about revenge or being petty but taking back my story which allows for healing. In my case, though I've been at the trauma work for nearly 10 years, it's been some pretty rapid healing in the past 1.5 years. Like a kind of mental and emotional bootcamp. Especially since I tried to sit down with them and talk about how harmful their gaslighting and apologism is and then they immediately just took turns gaslighting me (Is anyone home? A conscience or empathy or... anything?). I'm at peace with the thought that some of these relationships may end, or are in the process of ending. If the alterative is to be forced to be part of that unhealthy system, then what am I actually losing? A fake head-in-the-sand mannequin stand-in family, full of people who won't open up, who won't do the work, who won't get help and instead wish to pretend... for what? I'm done pretending. And I'm happier than ever and finally loving life despite my many health challenges.

It's Been Six Years

It has been over six years or so since Harvey Beaks had ended. @chgreenblatt if you ever do get this, I implore you... and I know many would likely agree with me but... TAKE BACK YOUR APOLOGY!

The thing is, you owe Nickelodeon nothing. It's the other way around. How they did you and your show dirty was despicable and considering that Nickelodeon's reputation is heading down more and more given what Jennette McCurdy and her new book is anything to go by. Besides, the reason why I wish you can take it back is because it's high time you spit back at the network that treated your show poorly and the former executive who is nothing but slime, Cyma Zarghani.

I am thankfully looking forward to more Jellystone from you but it would really make my day if you deliver the coup de grace to Nickelodeon.

[wyvernseeker]

The guy has been accused of pedophilia, with him sexualizing young girls in his shows, several of past actresses who worked with him such as Jennette McCurdy refusing to work with him anymore, having young girls auditioning for his shows send in pictures of their feet, having routinely interacted with known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and several other concerning things (amongst which being speculated to have actually been the one who fathered Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter that she had when she was 16). In fact, here are some articles:

http://www.eviemagazine.com/post/nickelodeons-murky-history-of-child-sex-abuse

http://www.dailynebraskan.com/culture/whaley-enjoy-icarly-but-remember-the-actors-sacrifices/article_4b486352-7a27-11eb-8899-17c6951a4489.html

https://playcrazygame.com/2020/04/14/pedophilia-fetishes-and-sexual-abuse-the-atrocities-that-surround-the-best-producer-of-nickelodeon/

I hope that helps explain things. And I apologize if the articles aren't up to snuff.

This post is for the fans of the works of Dan Schneider (e.g. Drake & Josh, iCarly, etc.), because I think it’s something they need to hear right now.

I know it must really suck to find out that the creator of these TV shows you may or may not have grown up with was actually a disgusting, indefensible, horrible excuse for a human being, if he can even be called THAT anymore.

You don’t need to feel guilty if you have enjoyed his work in the past. It is highly unlikely that you could have known or seen this coming. I know it certainly caught me by surprise, no doubt thanks to Viacom doing one hell of a job covering it up.

You also don’t need to feel guilty if you still enjoy those shows today. You are allowed to enjoy those shows while condemning Dan Schneider. You don’t have to pick one or the other. Finding Drake and Josh to be a funny show does not mean that you support the actions of an abuser, and if anybody tells you that, then they are trying to guilt trip you.

It’s okay if you feel that those shows have now been tainted by this news, if you feel that you can no longer enjoy them knowing how utterly despicable their creator was, but you do not have the right to tell other people how to feel.
