#billy thinks its hilarious

[thewildchilde]

Harringrove agreeing to an open relationship when Billy goes off to college since they both have very high sex drives. He comes home for the holidays and everyone is wondering how Steve, who hasn't really slept around/hasn't found anyone who really catches his interest like Billy does, can handle knowing that Billy probably slept around a heap at college and Steve just shrugs and says "I'm just wondering if I can guess how many people he's fucked, like one of those 'guess how many jellybeans in the jar' games."

this man is fighting his own war and he has no rules, no boundaries, he doesn't flinch at arson, kidnapping, or illegal demolition. he's not loyal to a flag or a fleet or any set of ideals. he trades blood for money. he's sunshine's best friend.

Please Chill

Please, I am begging you all to chill out. I'm speaking specifically to my wlw Agatha fans right now. Even more specifically to the ones who are angry that the last episode revolved around Teen/Billy.

He is a main fucking character. His backstory is important to the plot. We only get nine episodes in this series and the plot needs to move forward. We cannot do that without revealing who he is and what his motivations are, from a storytelling standpoint.

I studied creative writing in college. I worked really fucking hard to get into my program, too. I took classes on novel writing, mainly, but also in screenwriting and playwriting. I took classes on TV writing in the mid 2010's at a time where the trend was shifting to streaming services putting out entire fucking seasons at a time.

But I remember having to wait a week for an episode of a show I loved. I remember what happened to my favorite wlw characters. I remember being absolutely devastated by Lexa's death in The 100. I know you're scared of it happening again, but there is so much evidence on the contrary to prove that it's not going to happen here.

Firstly, I don't think for a second that some of the actresses who signed up for this would have done so if they thought they were going to pull the same shit. I don't think Jac or Kathryn or fucking Aubrey, who legit said that she signed up because it's a queer show, would do that.

But i don't know. Because the show isn't over. We have three episodes left over the next two weeks. I, like you all, am praying that they're not about to pull some bullshit, especially considering the majority of their current fanbase is comprised of queer people.

But you can't just call them lesbophobic because they focused on a canonically gay character rather than your favorite lesbian ship for one(1) episode. They have confirmed that Rio and Agatha are estranged exes. They showed us so much flirting and yearning and longing. From a storytelling standpoint, they are building that tension for a great payoff. Its's gonna happen. Please, just be patient.

I was upset, too. I did not want them to shift focus to Billy. When I saw that that was going to be the majority of the episode, I was upset. I made a couple posts about it. But I still watched and it was honestly a pretty good, important episode. And fucking funny as all hell. We truly saw the aftermath of Wanda's actions. Wanda, who wasn't trying to be malicious or harmful, but she still caused so much harm.

As much as I would have loved to see Rio, I understand why she wasn't in this episode just yet, but she'll likely be in the next one. It was probably only like 2 minutes after he threw them into the mud that Agatha crawled out. Also we see Lilia and Jen in future promos, so they'll be fine.

I predict that the next three episodes are going to be longer and more plot heavy moving forward. I really hope we see more of Agatha's delusions from the POV of Rio, because Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey are fucking hilarious and I know it's going to be just as funny as last night's Teen POV.

I want to see people theorizing about the next three episodes and what's going to happen and how they're going to rectify anything, but I'm seeing so many negative posts about why your favorite lesbians didn't kiss or fuck yet on this Disney show. Please, just be fucking patient. It's coming.

That being said, if I am wrong, I will be the first to admit it and be super salty about it. I hope I'm not, but who knows? I'm not going to make a snap decision either way. You shouldn't either.

Eddie called everyone into the club. Billy Hargrove, Heather Holloway, Nancy Wheeler, Jason Carver, Wayne and all his crew. The only one that wasn’t there was his ace in the hole.

“Thank you all for coming,” Eddie said, sitting on the edge of the stage while everyone sat around in the tables.

Hilariously Nancy and Jason sat as far apart from Billy as possible. What was even more hilarious was that Billy, Stella, and Heather formed a weird triangle trying to keep their distance without looking like it was deliberate.

“Just so everyone is aware,” he said with a grin. “Everything is be recorded, audio and visual.” He pointed to the cameras.

Nancy frowned, but merely crossed her arms and said nothing.

“These past couple of months have been the hardest the club has ever faced,” he began, “in all its history of being opened. And everyone just kept telling me it was bad luck. That bad news comes in waves and that we would ride this out same as always. But it all felt so contrived and I could not figure out why.”

“The absolute arrogance!” Jason huffed. “Thinking you know better than God!”

“Oh honey,” Eddie purred. “I’d have to believe in him to think that. Which I don’t, so shut it. “

Jason grumbled, but wisely settled down.

“Everyone also seemed to think this all started with the arrival of Steve,” he said, causing Steve to flush in embarrassment. “But Steve only got hired because I needed a new Envy.”

“Which I still think is bullshit,” Billy huffed. “What I do off the clock is none of your God damned business.”

Eddie shrugged. “And normally I would agree with you, Billy but you add in it was the mayor’s daughter and I wasn’t going to court legal trouble. But somehow I did anyway. So why?”

Everyone looked around at each other, trying to suss out who was to blame.

“You see I was missing a piece of the puzzle,” Eddie said, leaping off the stage to his feet. “And hooboy, did I get it when I talked to Jonathan Byers.”

Nancy’s head shot up, her jaw slack and her eyes wide. “I don’t have to sit here and listen to this gibberish.” She got to her feet and grabbed her purse.

“What’s matter, Nancy?” Steve said, sidling up Eddie. “Don’t you want to hear how Eddie figured out your scheme?”

Her head snapped around. “There is no scheme it’s all in the deluded mind of the this deranged individual. I will not be part of this.”

“You’re fianceé will probably get arrested,” Eddie said with a half shrug. “For her part in the scheme.”

Nancy turned around slowly. “I’m dating Jonathan. You just said my fianceé was female. A her.”

Jonathan came out from backstage. “That’s right, I’ve been the other man for years. But it was okay with Heather because she got off on cuckolding with other men, too.”

Everyone gasped as they turned to look at Heather.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she huffed, examining her nails.

“You see,” Eddie said, “it always struck me as odd that she would still have a fiancé after being caught with Billy. But there was never any indication that they had broken up. But when Jonathan had told me about the photography studio I got it. Steve wasn’t supposed have been involved at all. It was an accident and one that sent Nancy scrambling.”

He started walking around the room pointing out all the players. “Billy got played as much as Jonathan did. I’m not sure how Nancy got to Stella, but Stella was supposed to target whoever it was that I hired to replace Billy.”

“For all your talk of equals,” Stella spat, “the men still out numbered us women two to one. All she had to do was ask, though she paid me too. I didn’t realize that she was planned on shutting the place down. I thought she was trying to get you to sell it.”

“Then go to a different strip joint,” Eddie said rolling his eyes. “Oh wait... it’s because I actually pay my strippers. Do you really think that the new owners would be as generous?”

She gave little half shrug with a moue. “It would have been if I bought it.”

Everyone gasped again.

“Go to hell, Stella,” Bakir hissed. Bakir was an immigrant and his English wasn’t very good. “Would be horrible boss.”

“Fucking hell,” Scott agreed. “I’d take Eddie over anyone willing to hurt people for money.”

Danny raised her hand. “Which brings up an interesting point, what does Nancy get out of this?”

Eddie grinned and snapped his fingers at her. “I was thinking the same thing. What does Nancy Wheeler get out of shutting down these businesses? And the answer is a world-wide exclusive to the story. I think she got this high off getting the lab shut down when she was in high school that she had to keep chasing. That same high serial killers get.”

“So what did start all this?” Steve asked from the table he shared with Scott and Robin.

“Jason Carver,” Eddie said smugly. “When Chrissy broke up with him, he became enraged. He had known that Nancy had done exposés before and brought her to one of the Sin nights. She didn’t agree to it until she heard that it was one of the places Jonathan cleaned on occasion.”

Jason’s head whipped around to face her. “This wasn’t enough on its own?” he huffed waving wildly at the poles on the stage.

“No,” Eddie said shaking his head with a huff. “She had to control Jonathan because if he got wind of her schemes he would leave her for good.”

“Damn right,” Jonathan snarled. “And this is me breaking up with you Nancy.”

“You don’t know what you are doing Jonathan,” Nancy purred. “I’m trying to save your soul. Or I could tell Mommy all about how you took pictures of me while I was undressing. A sweet, underaged girl.” She batted her eyelashes at him.

Jonathan began laughing. “That? That’s what you’ve been holding over my head all this time? I told my mom about that when I got into a fight with your then boyfriend and the cops got called. Fuck you.”

She snapped her mouth shut and glared at him. Her hold on him well and truly gone.

“Back to the scheme,” Eddie said landing at Heather’s table. “The first thing she did was find out the weak parts of my operation. She must have overheard me telling Jeff, that a political scandal would be grounds for instant termination.”

Nancy shrugged. “That alleyway is so easy to hide in, you really should get that checked.” She winked at him.

“Then she deployed her fianceé,” Eddie continued clicking his tongue against his teeth, “to find an easy mark to get into bed with. Immediately she zeroed in on Billy. Loud, obnoxious, and egotistical. He was perfect.”

“Fuck you,” Billy huffed. “No one made me do anything!”

Eddie chuckled. “Too easy, honestly. It’s honestly the one fault I find in your plan, you could have chosen someone a little more difficult.” He held up his thumb and forefinger close together.

“But I digress.” He held up his hands. “Billy would get caught with Heather, by Nancy, a part left out the papers because she has friends in high places in those publications.”

Again Nancy looked smug.

“You won’t be so smug when Eddie gets through with you,” Steve said shaking his head. “Where are your denials now?”

“Why deny any of it?” she asked with a laugh. “He’s painting me to be some evil genius, that’s quite the accomplishment.”

“Don’t worry, I’m just getting started,” Eddie assured her, walking over to where Stella sat with Danny and Levi. “This is where she tripped up. Stella was supposed to keep escalating the attacks on the new dancer until they got seriously hurt or they quit. Only they weren’t counting on Steve. Steve whom, if Nancy let get hurt like that would seriously damage her reputation. So tried everything she could to dislodge him herself. But Steve was already entrenched into the club’s culture. So she had to show her hand early so that Stella would be forced to stop the attacks against him.”

“I knew it was a risk,” Nancy admitted with a shrug. “I thought I could appeal to his better nature and our friendship, but he likes stripping.”

Steve laughed. “Hell yeah, I do. It’s good money and better company.”

Nancy rolled her eyes.

“But then it really unraveled,” Eddie said with a grin, “when Jonathan spotted Steve coming out of the dressing room after his lap dance and asked for help. He wanted to know Steve knew of any place that would be willing to take him on full time.”

“When I found out she was willing to help Steve get a job,” Jonathan spat, “but was constantly undermining my ability to even hold a job, I was willing to take anything Steve could help me get so I could get out from under her thumb.”

“Then I met with him,” he continued. “I found him to be genuine and hardworking. His foreman spoke highly of him and all I needed to know was what position he would take. So everyone I would you like you to meet Jonathan Byers, the new chef’s assistant under Monty.”

All the crew of Hellfire clapped except Stella, Levi and Danny.

“And I would like to introduce you to our three new dancers,” Eddie finished with a wink. “Micaella Dimitriou, Kyle White, and Mason Clark. After all Levi, Danny, and Stella are under arrest now.”

“What?!” Danny squawked, leaping to her feet as cops swarmed the club.

Immediately Heather started crying about how she was tricked into all this and how much of a victim she was. All while Nancy screamed about how much of a bitch she was and how she never loved her.

In the end, Jason, Heather, Nancy, Stella, Levi, and Danny were all carted away for varying offenses.

Eddie dusted his hands off. “Right now that garbage has been cleaned out, I am announcing that we are closing the club for two we–”

A roar of outrage erupted from the rest of the crew.

He held up his hands. “Just for two weeks and you’ll get paid based on the average from last year. We are going to be doing some remodeling and it will allow the new dancers time learn their roles.”

There was some murmuring, but that was fair enough.

“Micaella will be in Megera,” Eddie said, “the Fury of ancient Greece. Mason as Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, and Kyle as Kimaris, marquis of hell.”

That got a lot more cheers and excitement.

“Megera will be taking over as Wrath,” Eddie said. “But this time I did give anyone the chance the audition for it.”

Scott snickered. “I still don’t know how you kept it from those three, it was brilliant seeing their shocked Pikachu faces.”

“Oh!” Eddie said with a shy smile. “That was easy. I didn’t tell anyone it was to replace them except for a couple of close confidants.” He shrugged. “I even had them come in, told them it was for a new routine.”

Gareth raised his hand. “He didn’t tell me. Probably because I would have blabbed it all over the place.”

“He didn’t tell me either,” Chrissy said, “I think he wanted me to have plausible deniability if Stella came after me. Which she had shown in the past she was willing to do.”

“Right in one,” Eddie said snapping his fingers at her with a fond smile. “I only told Wayne, Steve, and Scott.”

Jonathan tilted his head to the side. “Why those three?”

Eddie started counting off on his fingers. “Wayne and Scott because they were going to be helping me hire. And Steve because he figured it out on his own. Didn’t you, beautiful?”

“The dance he was having us learn was very...” Steve said with a blush, “angry?” He snapped his fingers. “Fierce! That’s the word. I also knew that Billy had be conspiring with Stella, so I figured that Eddie was going to replace her.”

“Fair enough,” Chrissy said. “So what are all the changes that are being made?”

Eddie launched into getting new tables and chairs, a new stage, a better sound equipment and eventually a new wing, but that would take longer than the two weeks he was willing to be closed. He explained that they would continue to work at night, while the construction crew worked during the day.

“Then to celebrate the new opening,” he said, “we’ll finally do the fairy tale night!”

Then the cheer really did go up. They had been wanting to do that for ages. They had their costumes and had the dances down, but first Chrissy hurt her ankle and then this shit came up and it was past time for them to do it.

Eddie giggled. “Is this why detectives do this shit? Because holy hell was that a rush!”

If we’re thinking about it…Cap’s villains are(and I may be wrong but idk) the only villains that need him ALIVE and healthy to be able to achieve their one goal, which is getting his powers and the Rock. Him dying would do them no good, and actually descend the universe into chaos.

Case in point, I have been thinking about this for a while: what if Mr. Mind is controlling Green Arrow in the Absolute Power comic series. Of course, this is non-canon(but you never know👀). But, he is the only Cap villain who really wants to take over the Earth and/or destroy everyone in it, which the other villains are not keen on because that includes them and Billy.

So, what I’m thinking:

Sivana sneaks away from the rest of the enslaved villains and catches Arrow walking past Billy, Mary, Adam, and other prisoners. Before he thinks, he jumps into action and gets GA’s attention.

GA is understandably confused as to why this random villain is talking to him. Billy and Mary are total palms to foreheads because what the actual fuck is he doing? Adam is READY for some chaos.

That’s when Sivana just outright says that he killed “GA’s” brothers. Just goes out and says it.

Everyone else in their cell chambers are so damn confused. Because this random bald guy just told their former comrade in arms that he killed his brothers. Since when did Ollie have brothers???

Also this would be even more hilarious if the heroes that aren’t contained and escaped are watching via hacked cameras. Just putting this here.

So Sivana doubles down. He found one brother after another and just SQUASHED em. Like, full on stomped, threw, dumped trash on em. Watched green mucus just pool around them.

And—Oh! That’s when it clicks for the three Marvels.

So Mary eagerly joins in, nodding her head that she ALSO killed his brothers.

Adam groans as he reluctantly joins, stating that he ate one or two, which, overkill, but it gets the point across.

Both of them look at Billy to join and he just rolls his eyes. Fine!

In fact! Guess what? EVERYONE in this room killed your brothers. We were all in on it, and we don’t care one bit!

Sivana actually laughs at that one. Billy’s so gonna get him for this.

Just as quickly as it happens, Mr. Mind is faster than the body he inhabits. He jumps out from Ollie’s ear and bangs his body against Billy’s glass cell, falling unconscious. The Marvel family and Sivana spend the next three minutes coaxing him up and begging him to use whatever small tube he has to trap the worm and free them, which he does, but he’s incredibly dazed, so he takes so long to do it.

Someone asks Sivana what his brilliant idea for escape is or if this is as far as he got.

Billy, Mary, and Adam know better, though. For all of its uniqueness, Sivana always has a plan.

The plan?

King Kull is digging around for an exit.

Magnificus and Beautia snuck into the prison and freed their siblings, and now all four kids are causing chaos in the upper floors.

Ibac is fucking shit up with the less powerful Amazo bots.

And Billy is weirdly proud.

[raointean]

I actually love the idea that Billy and William fused instead of just body-hoping. William would have died if Billy didn't come in and they fused! I love him saying that he has a mom because adoption right 🎉

Yes! The alternative is just too sad for me. As for the adoption thing, it's NOT just this fandom that struggles to understand bio vs. adoptive parents. I'm in the Star Wars fandom and there are SO MANY PEOPLE that refer to Anakin and Padmé as Luke and Leia’s "real" parents. Meanwhile, Owen, Beru, Bail, and Breha are called kidnappers or just ignored entirely (yes, I loved the Obi-Wan show. Why do you ask?)

I think the same problem is sometimes happening in this fandom too. We know Wanda and Vision as characters and we want them to be a happy family. We do NOT know Rebecca and Jeff Kaplan nearly as well, so there's a tendency to want to take the child from the characters we don't know as well and give him to the characters we know, like, and want to be happy.

On a slightly happier note, here's all my headcanons about Billy Kaplan's life (not Billy Maximoff or William Kaplan, but the entity that is both of them)

As William's heart stopped, his soul separated from his body and was on its way to wherever Jewish people go when they die

Billy M's soul, at the same time, was fleeing because it didn't have a body to support it

He found William's body easy enough to get into (because a soul had just left it) and close enough to alive to be fixed

However, William's soul was in between Billy M and the body

Billy M could have gone around and been the only soul in the body, but he was scared, okay?

Poor guy was only a couple days old, alone for the first time ever, and his mom had just kinda killed him and the rest of his family

Long story short, Billy M crashes into William and drags them both into the body

Billy M fixes the body just enough to keep living, but doesn't bother too much about the head injury

Meanwhile, William is stuck to Billy M like silly putty when you have two different colors and, by the time they get to the hospital, the two colors have blended entirely to form a new color

There's no way to differentiate one from the other

Billy Kaplan is born!

Because Billy M didn't fix the head injury, they both have amnesia

Billy K wakes up and it's literally "no thoughts, head empty"

(Except for some lingering sensation of loneliness... like there should be something someone? else there)

But not for long because he soon discovers he can hear other people's thoughts!

Which is really funny because he doesn't know that other people can't hear his thoughts

Poor guy genuinely thinks that humans communicate via telepathy for a solid 24 hours before he gets enough weird looks that he puts two and two together

(His parents are totally aware of this

There's only so many times your kid can answer exactly the thought going through your head without you catching on

Also, this is the Marvel universe!

Shit like this just... happens sometimes

They figure he'll come to them when he's ready, and until then they'll think nice thoughts and be supportive)

Billy K spends a solid four months trying to remember who he was before, stealing memories from his parents' heads, and pretending to recover from the amnesia

(Rebecca and Jeff try so hard not to make him feel like they're just waiting for their old son to come back but...)

Four months in, Billy's at the mall with his mom on some errands and that's where he sees it

Hot Topic

He begs his mom to go in there, and it's the first really normal teenage thing he's done since the car crash so she lets him

For the first time in four months, Billy forgets all about car crashes, and memories, and hospitals, and expectations

All that exists is spiky jewelry, ripped black skinny jeans, and a million of those cheap and hilarious pins

Over time, the family settles into his "new normal" and chalk most of it up to teenage experimentation

In that three year period though, Billy can't shake the feeling that something's still missing

He feels out of place in his body, even with the new aesthetic

(He sees that one tumblr comic about the coocoo bird and cries-- a lot. It's the closest he ever gets to telling his parents about his out-of-place feeling)

He doesn't tell them though

Instead, he digs and digs into the weirdest, darkest, most demented corner of the internet

Silly Billy & Pocket Home?

"Silly Billy" is a compilation of the Shazamilly calling marvel "Silly Billy" in front of various other heros. If he had a heart in this form it would stop everytime because his family is literally saying his name in front of a bunch of people who dont know his identity and it takes him a second to realize he wasnt just exposed. he tries so hard to hide his panic but hes a terrible actor and his family thinks its hilarious. The Justice League think its just a childish nickname and not his actual name but Cap acts so weird every time? Does he think 'silly billy' is an insult or something?

Not sure if I’ll ever finish this one. There’s not much I can do with a single joke lol. The other fic, however…

—-

"Pocket home" has a bit more of a plot to it.

Billy needs a place to sleep. The rock of eternity is far too dangerous to be unconscious in thanks to the many monsters lurking in its halls, and the abandoned buildings he used to use are unsafe for similar reasons after the police start patrolling the poorer parts of Fawcett to chase away the homeless and arrest them through the night. So Billy learns how to create a pocket dimension. It’s safe from monsters and people alike and can be used as a place to store his things without risking them being stolen so he lives there from then on. Over the years his collection of items grows, as does his need to hoard even more…

A few years later…

While in a spaceship on their way to a distant star, an unexpected enemy attacks the ship. The justice league, not expecting any trouble for at least a few days, is not prepared to enter space and will all die when the ship is broken in approximately five seconds. With no time to think about consequences, Billy tosses them all into a pocket dimension, staying out to fight the unknown threat that ambushed and destroyed the most well protected spaceship in the Milky Way in seconds- all by himself.

The league is disoriented and dizzy from unexpected dimension travel and so It takes them a moment to realize they weren’t sucked into space like they by should’ve been. They look around to see where they ended up- an infinitly large void. They are standing on nothing with stars visible from all directions, almost like they’re floating or standing on some kind of invisible barrier. There are no visible walls, but a short distance away there’s a section full of items including a bed, a stuffed tiger, and many many boxes full of items. Almost like someone lives here.

Did Marvel just punt them into the void? Specifically his home in the void?

Cue the justice league snooping through the items in an attempt to find a way out.. With the sheer amount of stuff there is here it’s gonna take a while, but it’s been hours now and Captain Marvel still hasn’t come to let them out so they likely won’t be caught any time soon.

…that’s definitely something they should be worried about.

The fic follows the justice league as they try to find a way to survive in this strange place while searching for a way out to save their friend. If there’s any friend left to save, that is, and with every second they sit there with no sign of rescue the less likely that seems. Watch as they slowly piece together the life of their most mysterious friend, one trinket at a time.

(Details may change drastically. I think this fic has a lot of potential and if it takes me completely rewriting it to reach that potential, so be it!)

9-1--1 Episode 5 Thoughts SPOILERS

This episode was so ridiculous. But I loved it.

Hen and Karen's conflict, I thought was a bit unnecessary considering they already went through the whole, we know why Hen is meant to be a paramedic. But ok fair. The agony and stress I felt when we found out Denny was hurt... like not ok, Tim. Stop hurting the Wilsons, they need a break. The makeup on Tracie was so good. The COSTUMES! I think Aisha noted it in her interview how amazing the wardrobe department was, and she is 1000% correct.

Jee is the cutest Toto, and i love that the Wilsons and the Hans are this blended family and that Jee is close with Mara.

Tommy Kinard is a treasure and I love him. When Buck says "Oh, so I am gross." He looks actually a little offended by the accusation. The whole Billy Boils thing was so silly, but then again this is the show that had a Ghost call 9-1-1 so its fine. We'll take it.

I love Eddie and Tommy's friendship. Buck has never had a relationship like this, with his partner and his best friend getting along.

Tommy did not hesitate for a second to take care of Buck and even slept on the couch in case Buck needed anything, because he had to sleep on the chair. This was very sweet. The man brought him coffee and avocado toast. This man is a keeper.

I find it hilarious that Buck doesn't even think about going to a dermatologist cause he's so convinced it's a curse. Tommy really does keep up with Buck, he thought the curse thing was silly. But he still put on a tux and drove Buck to a cemetery and asked the corpse to lift he curse off his boyfriend. He may be a skeptic but he covered his bases.

billy and steve both babysitting holly for whatever reason (or steves babysitting and billys just tagging along cuz he wants some time with his boyfriend dammit) and holly having a meltdown cuz she wants mcdonalds and steves like "no your mom said no junk food!" which only makes holly wail louder and starts up a chant of "chi! cken! nu! ggies! chi! cken! nu! ggies!" that billy joins in on because hes a little shit who thinks this whole thing is hilarious.

so its billy and holly banging their fists on the coffee table chanting about chicken nuggies over and over until steve feels like his brains about to bleed out through his ears and he yells, which gets the two to shut up. until billy looks at him all stonefaced like "i believe the young lady wants chicken nuggies, steven"

and thats how the three of them end up driving half an hour out of town to the closest mcdonalds, holly in the backseat of the beemer happily eating her chicken nuggies while billy wolfs down 3 apple pies and steves angrily and loudly slurping a giant coke and shoving french fries into his mouth

Your concept of The Lamb is great. I really like its design and story.

However, I wonder if The Lamb is aware of his past lives? Does he remember those he left and have any feelings towards them? Does he happen to miss anyone?

I like to imagine that Lamb once they do ascend, is pretty much just- nature! Kind of like a state of nirvana, the closest I imagine to how the Elder God's internal thought process goes is Jake in Nirvana! Or even Master Oogway in the Spirit Realm (as they are both huge inspirations for how I go about Lamb's interpretation)

That pure state of no longer needing any mortal vices, free from emotion except bliss, just...light! Their life is over, they died, they've become something much more and their soul is at peace. Vengeance has been served and forgiveness was given, they have nothing that binds them to keep living anymore, no more unfinished business. Many followers seem to forget that their leader...is dead! Undead, more accurately through the power of the One Who Waits, but regardless they're hollow, cold, and don't need to eat nor sleep. Once the crown overtakes them, that's it! Finito! Granted:

@vxredemption's fanfic has got me thinking of possible ways to "awaken" Lamb during that Elder God state, as even Jake was tempted with...hilariously. Gum. A mortal vice. Mayhaps with strong emotion, or plea, or overall something just as silly as gum of all things, can temporarily return lamb's silly billy ways as a spirit comes to visit relatives.

In short, they don't remember...but they can, the question is...how!

[weird-an]

Steve is such a bad liar.

Robin would be insulted, if it wasn't so funny. He bitches about Hargrove coming in at Scoop's and teasing him about the shitty uniforms every day. He claims to be annoyed by Billy nearly crawling over the counter to stare at his thighs, while not having asked out any of the pretty girls that had only eyes for him since it started. He talks about boobs every day but can't stop ogling Billy's chest. Well, to be fair Billy's shirts are always unbuttoned.

Still, Steve complains about it. It's hilarious and sad at the same time.

"I swear Robin," Steve says for like the fifth time in a few minutes. "I'll punch him in the face tomorrow."

Robin rolls her eyes. Like Steve's going to do anything else than nearly drooling on the sundaes. "Yeah, sure."

"What?" Steve puts his hands on his hips, reminding Robin of an upset, overworked dad. "I already did it. I'll do it again"

That's it. It's one thing that Steve is lying to himself, but lying to her face? No fucking way.

"Dingus, you stare at him every time he comes here." Robin gives him another point on the You suck board. "You're into him."

"I'm not staring." Steve purses his lips, face turning a little red. "And I'm not-"

"Well, he's into you."

"He is?" Steve clears his throat. "I mean... I don't think he is."

Robin gives him a day to let sink it in. The next time Billy comes to Scoop's its so blindingly obvious. Steve has to see it.

Billy made his hair. Fluffy curls, bouncing around his head, shirt held by one tiny button, showing off the shadow of his nipples. Robin wonders how much time he spent getting ready.

They're both hopeless, Robin thinks.

"Steve has to talk to you," she snaps before any of them can say anything. "In the break room."

"What?" Steve turns to her.

She's so fucking done with them. Boys are stupid.

"In. The. Break. Room." Robin points at the door. "Now."

"Welcome to Scoop's Ahoy," she says to the girl behind Billy, flashing her a smile.

Steve and Billy stay away for an hour. Robin gets a bit worried. Maybe she has been wrong and they're killing each other back there. Scoop's new flavor is going to be interesting.

Finally they come out. Well, Billy stumbles a little.

"Bye Buckley," he says, not looking at her. His hair has even more volume than before. There's a bite mark on his pec.

Jesus, she just wanted them to talk. Boys are idiots. Robin is glad she isn't into them. She's never eating her lunch again in that room.

Steve has a dazed impression on his face, grinning like he does when they smoke too much pot.

"I... " he pauses. "I owe you."

Hiya Maxwell!

I would like to ask about the inspiration behind Endsville? Aside from the constant supernatural activities that plagues the daily life of its residents, I’m curious to where you get the inspiration from involving any town’s symbolism/history? Like is there a town that has its own curse; where things were normal until one day shit hit the fan and before you know it there’s armageddon at your doorstep? 

Y’know, kinda like Centralia in Pennsylvania - a coal mining settlement turned ghost town due to an incident with the poisonous gas fumes from a fire mine - which inspired Silent Hill series.

I hope this question sparks some interesting answers!

P.S. What's with the volcanoes in the background?

P.S.S. R.I.P Cartoon Network studios.

P.S.S.S. I like apple sauce.

Those are reactor cooling towers, but I understand why you'd think they're volcanoes. That's my bad.

Endsville was supposed to be the Everytown of your average Crapsack World. I've always been fascinated by urban decay and I'd just come from art school in Philly, which at the time was a wreck South of City Hall. And Northeast of City Hall. And if you went far enough West, it was also sort of shit. And if you went East you'd hit New Jersey. At the time it was just an all-around no win situation, and a big inspiration for Endsville.

Philly also had a generic brand with the classic blue and white labeling, which I thought was hilarious. I'd seen the same thing in Repo Man, but I didn't know it was a real thing. The generic brand inspired the color-scheme for Billy & Mandy's school and school uniforms in the later seasons.

Shifter Billy/Captain Marvel

Billy was born with the ability to shape shift into a scrappy orange tabby cat. His ears and canines remain sharper than normal, and his eyes do the flashy thingy in the dark along with night vision. He can also hiss, purr, and growl.

Captain Marvel also has these features, but shifts into a large tiger. I mean LARGE, like horse sized.

The League just thinks the teeth and ears are from the magic, then they all get a small heart attack when they ask him to meet them somewhere at night and turn around at a snap! and just see the floating eye glare much higher than a normal predator would be.

Now they think he’s some sort of eldritch being in human shape, especially when they hear him actually growl a few times.

I have two ways his tiger form could be revealed, both equally hilarious:

1. The league has to fight Klarion, Teekl takes on their saber tooth form, and Marvel just straight-up snarls and launches, and when they collide in the middle suddenly two huge orange cats are just ripping into each other. Teekl has larger teeth, but Tiger Marvel is just larger, and as long as Teekl is distracted they can’t help Klarion so the League is able to beat him. He takes off, calling Teekl to follow, and Wonder Woman has to lasso Tiger Marvel when he tries to chase after them. He’s in Hunt Mode.

2. They have to fight demons, but they turn out to be immune to magic, so Marvel gets taken down, but then there’s a flash and suddenly this huge tiger is rolling around with the demon and just rips its throat out. And proceeds to keep doing so for the rest of the fight. Then after the battles over the tiger flashes into Captain Marvel, who has blood all over his mouth and nails and a look on his face that wouldn’t look misplaced on a satisfied house cat, after eating your pet bird.

But this leads to scenes where someone will walk around on the watchtower and find this giant tiger just napping in all of those strange places where you’d expect to see a house cat.

But with a tiger.

The Sidekicks love him though, they like to pile on to take naps, lulled into a peaceful sleep by the rumbling purrs and the knowledge that they are safe.

As you will notice, I like the point ears/fangs look for Marvel. You will be seeing plenty more.

Barbie: Yeah, I’m a Guy Who Watched the Barbie Movie.

Sooooo... I’ve watched the Barbie movie. And I am a man. So deal with it.

What is the Barbie Movie?

Basically, the Barbie Movie is about... well, Barbie. Everything pink and feminine as far as the eye can see. The movie itself however is taking it in a far different direction.

The film’s director Greta Gerwig is basically a surprising director to have for the film. Gerwig is known for her female-driven movies like Ladybird and Little Women to name a few. So it’s no surprise that Barbie is on a journey of self-discovery about her identity as a woman and a Barbie.

There’s also this whole Barbenheimer meme going on, but I’m talking about Barbie.

After Watching...?

The Barbie Movie is both a jaunty jab at the stereotypes of both male and female roles and Mattel, as well as a beautifully hilarious film thanks to Margot Robbie’s portrayal as the classic or stereotypical Barbie. Robbie’s Barbie goes though a transformation from the definitive Barbie to a fully grown being. Her existence is put into question as she learns more and more about the real world and the harsh truths that come with it. She slowly discovers that she’s more than a Barbie, but an actual person with autonomy and choice.

America Ferrera kills it as a lover of Barbie who had to live with Barbie’s standards in the real world. Ferrera gives a powerful speech about the constant frustrations of what it’s like to be a woman, perfectly encapsulating the highs and lows of the gender in a completely human way. Ferrera is the perfect person to take on this role based on her work from Ugly Betty and Superstore, showing more humanly real traits than superficial perfection.

Ryan Gosling’s Ken as an antagonist made a lot of sense once you think about the theme of film. Ken is essentially the butt of the joke that Barbie takes for granted, making him feel inadequate. So when he finds the respect he craved in the real world, he starts to build a “Kendom” for him and his fellow Kens to feel good about themselves and step out of the shadow of the Barbies. It is exactly how we all think would happen if Ken found out about patriarchy.

It basically tackles both ideas of feminism, patriarchy, hyper femininity, and toxic masculinity in this film without making it too preachy or forced in your face or that men are trash and women are perfect. No, it takes those ideas in a way that addresses the flaws in each set of philosophies while not demonizing or glorifying any side. They’re just opposing ideas with their own problems to deal with and some good ideas that are taken too much as fact without common sense.

The scene that moved me the most was Barbie’s choice to become human after experiencing life and having a conversation with the creator of Barbie Ruth Handler. Combined with the haunting Billie Eilish song “What Was I Made For” and flashes of various girls and women living life, it was a beautiful tribute to what Barbie was initially made for: a tribute to a daughter from a mother.

What Was Barbie Made For?

Barbie was made for those who think Barbie is just a doll that goes against modern women and those who believe Barbie to be an inspiring figure to strive, but most of all those who know the full history of a mother-daughter relationship in its creation.

If you love Barbie, you’ll love the movie. If you hate Barbie, you’ll love the movie. If you don’t know Barbie, you’ll love the movie.

I've discovered my nemeses... I think. I'm fine with heights and water and fighting made-up monsters in the Star Wars and AHS universes... but I cannot handle horses. Okay, let me correct that before the horse people come at me. I cannot handle riding horses. I get on fine, ride along fine, can even get it to kick up a gear and go a little faster, but dismounting? Mmm, no, not so much. Just went on a little mommy/son date and was high key convinced I was just going to have to live on the horse because I couldn't swing my leg back over its butt to get down. On the plus side, my three-year-old son thought it was hilarious, and everyone nearby got out their phones to record it so you may see it on TMZ. Hi, I'm Billie Lourd, you may know me as a literal human disaster, especially on horseback. How's your week going? @hfrpstarters
