Yes I know Neil Newborn knocked it out of the park with Astarion, but I really feel like the internet has slept on Samantha Beart's performance as Karlach. Holy shit.

The thing about billy is that he was marked for death the second his mom left him with neil.
He was either gonna die by Neil’s hands or, as we saw on the show, he was gonna go down such a self destructive path it would send him into an early grave of his own making.
So him dying at 18 isn’t really shocking. The part of it that was never written in the stars for him previously is that in his final moments he got to take some of his power back. He made the choice to stand against his abuser (the mindflayer) in the name of saving someone else. He got to fight back against the thing controlling him and contribute to its demise. Something he likely would’ve never gotten a chance to do with neil.
The tragedy is that he dies anyway, and no one can even give him the courtesy of acknowledging what that tragedy is. Not the writers, not the fandom, not the characters within the show.
His death becomes Max’s tragedy, it can’t even be his own. Nobody cares what billys death means in the context of billys life. Just like how nobody cared about billy when his mom left or when his dad was getting physical with him or when he started lashing out because of the abuse.
Nobody ever cared for billy, so why was he expected to care about anyone else?
He was never treated as a person, just a presence. And an inconvenient one at that. So of course he was never gonna make it to a long fulfilling life. And nobody ever thought to step in and intervene because well, Billys a problem, right? So what does it matter if he’s gone?
And you start to realize how inherently cruel the entire stranger things narrative is because there’s a clear line of people “worth” saving and those who aren’t. And if someone’s too much trouble then well, they’re expendable.
Billy was too much trouble for his mom to make her clean escape. He was too much trouble for not fitting in to Neil’s ideals of the perfect son. He was too much trouble for max as a brother. Too much trouble with all the rage and hate he had built up for the world around him for not protecting him.
So in the end, really, what was left for him to do?

so I'm real strong, right?
real big, real tall, muscles all over under the fat
it's surprising to people when they feel it; when I squeeze their hand, when I hug them for the first time, and then suddenly their feet lift off the ground
I absolutely adore that little squeak as they realize I'm strong enough to pick them up so bodily....~ start walking off with them, as if I'm about to kidnap them
Something fun I like to do to show it off is to carry them aaaalll the way to my bed.
toss them onto it, let them try and get settled only for me to crawl onto them; drag them up by the wrists
And pin them there.
And then smile at them.
Listen to that nervous giggle, the way they ask what I'm doing; and I just smile.
And tell them to try and break free.
No, no, not like that.... Struggle. Really try and break free.
That's it. You can't, can you?
That fear in their eyes as it dawns on them that I wasn't exaggerating; thrashing, pulling, a helpless gnawing dread building in their stomach as they realize what a vulnerable place they've found themselves in, my grip on them unwavering and vicelike.....
That flash of sadistic glee in my eyes, that dread spiking as they realize this subby little girl pinning them down so thoroughly has a darker side to her...
The fear in their eyes as I watch them so closely...........
.....oh, it's just delightful. 🥰
