the romanticization of billy in the scream fandom irks me so much... like let's cut the he is cute but psycho >w< kind of bullshit, because i am not here for it
#billy lacks in empathy. billy lacks in feeling several other types of emotions#his knowledge about feelings is nothing but approximate. through sheer mimicry. it's mainly superficial#do i believe theres a sliver of remorse towards sydney because his mom abandoned him 'because her mom was the instigator'? yes.#and that's the closest thing to a feeling he has ever experienced and makes it his motive because for once he FELT something#yes sure. that's valid in his character study#and also— mix that up with his dad feeding him lies and brainwashing him into believing it's not his fault#sure. that's enough of a good point but please... please lets not validate it and victimize him. he is not a victim. he is not a martyr.#he's a sick individual who has been fueled by his own sick thoughts and his own surroundings.#and the scream fandom is SO quick to cutify him and kiss up to him when in reality he's a deranged serial killer.#and in my opinion there's a difference between acknowledging a character's highly unethical shanenigans but just focus on their intriguing#character study as you delve into dark themes with conscience AND completely erasing their reasons to be or excusing it just to sanctify...#in this case. billy.#anyway just a random rant while i cook up a reply :* dont mind me
