#local cryptid billy my beloved

[rigginsstreet]

Has anyone done a fic where it’s like modern au or the 2000s, something where steve wasn’t a teenager in 80s or at least really young

So anyway he’s driving along the road one night and sees a kid about his age walking along, looks kind of dated with his curly mullet and leather jacket and unbuttoned shirt but maybe he just came back from a costume party or something. And Steve, being the good guy he is, pulls up to the guy and asks if he wants a ride home, is maybe looking for something more when he gets a look at the guys face and realizes what a knockout he is.

And the guy is charming too, smirking at him and accepting the ride, tho there’s something a little sad in his eyes, a little haunted.

Steve asks questions like his name (billy hargrove) and “haven’t seen you around here before, you from here?” (No, California)

He doesn’t really offer up much else and he doesn’t ask Steve about himself, which…is fine, Steve guesses.

But when he asks billy where he should drop him off billy gets a little panicked look in his eye. Repeats that he can’t go home, his dad’s gonna be so mad, he can’t go home.

And Steve’s like okay….quarry then? Because that’s his spot when he doesn’t want to go home, wants to avoid his parents.

Billy agrees and Steve drives them to the water. Parks the car. Steve tries to strike up conversation but Billy’s reluctant to say anything. When Steve, going out on a limb, suggests a late night swim, Billy agrees.

So they strip off their clothes. Steve runs to the water, dives in. Waits for billy to come but…he never does. And Steve can’t see him on the shore, the only light coming from the beemers headlights. He calls out for him, but nothing. Steve’s shoulders sag, he swims back to shore, assumes he’s been had, billys left to go…wherever. Steve sulks and goes home

It’s not until the next morning he gets in his car and notices a leather jacket in his backseat. Which…weird. But he’s kinda hopeful. He can use this to see billy again. He’s just…gotta find him

Problem is when he asks around, no one’s heard of a billy hargrove. It’s not until someone mentions knowing a Neil Hargrove that Steve finally has a lead. So he tracks him down to a house on a cherry lane. Knocks on the door. An angry old man answers, demanding to know what Steve wants

Timidly, Steve asks if a billy lives there? Or if the man knows anyone named Billy Hargrove?

And the man goes cold. Stares Steve down in a way that has him wanting to run for the hills.

The man says “Billy was my son. And he died years ago.”

And that…can’t be right. Steve just saw him last night so… he has his jacket for christs sake

But before he can say anything else the door is slammed in his face.

Later that day Steve’s hanging out with his best friend Robin. Tells her about the weird interaction he had today. And Robin loves a good mystery so she drags Steve to the library or pulls up her laptop and searches the obituaries for a billy hargrove and sure enough…July 4, 1985 a billy hargrove died in a car crash along the same stretch of road Steve found him on the previous night. And right there in black and white is the face of the boy Steve had in his passenger seat

Steve doesn’t know what the hell to think

[the-jukebox-system]

hello!! welcome to the arcade :]

we’ve been wanting to boot up this tumblr for a while now, and we’re finally getting to it. so, here’s our intro post to start off with! alter intros are beneath the cut, though they’re not up to date as of 4/12/2022. everything past the cut has been left for info/tag purposes, but just know that it’s not too accurate as of now!

please read our carrd and pronouns.page before following! our dni is listed in our carrd as well. it’s not fully finished just yet, but the basic info is there at least.

☆ i’m holly, also known as bug, and i’m the host of an osdd-1b system! i’m the local hyperactive shapeshifter of the system, alongside a few others, and am in a relationship with our beloved co-host, billy :]

☆ i’m afab and unsure of what i technically identify as, but i know we collectively identify as agender and my pronouns are she/it, while our collective pronouns are he/him and they/them.

☆ we’re an introject-heavy system of 212 and counting since the majority of my childhood revolved around accidentally making fiction a big comfort as i grew up, but i’m sure there’s many others i’m not aware about yet. yeehaw

☆ we’re always open to questions about certain alters or just our system in general! we don’t usually have much of an issue with answering personal questions, so we’ll just let you know if we can’t answer it.

☆ we used to be known as the vagabond system, but we now go by the jukebox system, due to the fact that there is almost always music playing in our head. i swear, it’s a curse at this point

☆ here’s some of our other blogs, if you’re curious! @track-pad @holly-hockss @hollycharm @fromthe-valley @axolotlsupremacy @paisleys-playhouse

──────────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────────────

☆ billy | co-host/protector/avenger | scp introject | sculpture | he/him | billy.txt a 173 introject, mainly based on thehauntedreader’s take on him. therefore, he’s beyond snarky but can’t be rude without feeling somewhat guilty for it thanks to holly’s empathy,, he’s practically the co-host at this point since he’s co-con the most out of everyone, so i guess we just call him that now. he often jumps to the front─if he wasn’t already there─whenever he hears splatoon, hide n’ seek, or sees fanart of him. or his source, i guess-

☆ lawrence | protector | human | he/they | lawrence.txt certified system father figure. used to be co-host, but after everyone else started making themselves known, he took a step back away from the front and now we only usually hear from him if we need his help. a pretty chill guy, if i do say so myself :]

☆ heather | caretaker | human(?) | she/her | heatherfields.txt certified system mother figure, but i don’t think she’s in a relationship with lawrence or anything. she’s really sweet and patient, but is almost always the one to step in and get me to do something specific when i’m feeling bad so i can go ahead and start recovering faster. i’ll be honest, without her, we’d be lost-

☆ paisley / hattie | little | human | she/her | paisley!!.txt precious,,, listen, i don’t like kids at all, but paisley’s an exception for all of us. she gets really excited whenever we look through our old my little pony figures or find something from our childhood that we thought we had lost for good.

☆ mozzy/fish | little | human | they/she | fishtank.txt quiet and patient, but not exactly shy. they love the color purple and looking at fish, hence their tag >:]

☆ everett | chaotic neutral cryptid | human | he/they | everest.txt apparently was either dormant for a while or just hiding out in the headspace for who knows how long until i acknowledged my sudden attachment to the name ‘everett.’ every time i mentioned that name out loud, he’d only get closer to the front, so he’s here now and will only be causing endless chaos from now on. he’s also usually the one to force me to play splatoon at 3 am just because he can. whose mans is this. where did he come from and where did he go

☆ cheryl | human | she/her | southbound.txt bold country mom. she’s been here for a quite a while, i think,, she went dormant for a few months, but she’s back now! her tag is named after a certain country song-

☆ dylan | human | he/him | daylily.txt the shyest out of all of us, which is saying something, ‘cause i’m not sure if any of us are shy. very soft-spoken, likes looking at cottagecore photos and listening to music that’s soft on the ears

☆ hailey | human | she/her | hailey.txt we rarely hear from her or her sibling, harley, but she definitely exists and we love her anyway :]

☆ harley | human(?) | they/them | harley.txt same goes for harley!! they’re also very entertaining to hear from when they do come to the front.

☆ stephanie | human | she/her | steph.txt met her on january 4th while we were sick. i guess stressing out due to being sick and just generally being overwhelmed by my own thoughts caused us to split??

☆ 049 / simon | scp introject | human(?) | he/him | curebird.txt 173 was so damn happy when he showed up!! i’m not sure if he’ll be interested in posting here often, but he usually walks into co-con whenever he’s mentioned, which is fairly often nowadays thanks to how excited billy is.

☆ sans / classic | soother/social protector | undertale introject | skeleton | he/him | humourus.txt this man does nothing but cackle every time i think of a joke or read something that catches his attention. absolutely amazing, my guy

☆ papyrus | undertale introject | skeleton | he/him | thegreatpapyrus.txt tall loud skeleton friend!! - paisley

☆ stretch / papyrus | underswap introject | skeleton | he/him | honeybee.txt sans but tall. he’s really neat so far, but i’ll admit, how and when did we get an underswap introject

☆ fell / sans | underfell introject | skeleton | he/him | fell.txt where did,, he come from

☆ error | errortale introject | skeleton | he/it | error.txt we accidentally forgot about him for a bit since he wasn’t in co-con for a while then started looking at error icons on pinterest, only to learn that he had been around for a few minutes beforehand as he yelled “DID YOU NOW??”

☆ flowey | undertale introject | flower | he/it | yourbestfriend.txt we only started hearing from him recently, while we were cooking dinner. now he jumps into co-con every once and a while to comment on the current conversation, then he goes back into hiding. sarcastic bastard

☆ jevil | deltarune introject | he/they | chaoschaos.txt loud chaotic gremlin with the ability to singlehandedly unnerve everyone in the headspace just by being in the same room as them

☆ spamton | deltarune introject | he/him | spamton.txt literally just met. what do we write about this man probably 3 ft tall. we hold him like cat

☆ snatcher | ahit introject | shadow/spirit | he/they | snatchersnatched.txt usually hiding in his respective area back in the headspace, so you likely won’t see him post here too often. he’s pretty neat, but could probably break my neck if he had the ability to-

☆ ranboo | dsmp introject | enderman | he/him | ranboo.txt we rarely hear from him unless we specifically ask him a question, but he’s really nice to talk to! very sweet :]

☆ orchid | unknown role | shapeshifter | they/he | wormwood.txt no one really knows where they came from, but they’ve been here for a couple of months now and they’re pretty neat. they don’t have eyes, yet they can still see,, we don’t question it. also, i’m pretty sure they have digitigrade legs, since whenever they’re in front i end up walking on my toes and bending my knees a bit. neat

☆ snowdrop | unknown role | mermaid/siren | she/her | lostatsea.txt she prefers not to speak when she’s in the front! i think the only way that we found out about her existence was thanks to the mental images we’d always get whenever she’d come close to the front, of blue gins and fills hovering in the dark. but now she’s much more open and willing to talk to us, which is how i figured out a better name for her. i don’t know if she’s interested in talking on here, but we’ve listed her tag, just in case!

☆ freddy | fnaf introject | animatronic | he/him | fazbear.txt he seems to be really hesitant and curious so far, but it’s fun to talk to him whenever he comes over and sits in co-con for a bit! though, something tells me he’s the reason why i've been wanting to sing so often lately-

☆ golden freddy | fnaf introject | animatronic | he/they | golden.txt also known as goldie! he’s pretty quiet, usually found lingering in co-con, especially if the others are already in the front chatting up a storm.

☆ bonnie | fnaf introject | animatronic | he/they | bonnie.txt he rarely ever comes up to the front, unless it’s a quick check-in, and even then he stays extremely quiet about it. i don’t know if you’d call him shy, though.

☆ flippy | htf introject | he/him | flips.txt the most we’ve heard from him so far would be on the day i properly met him, which wasn’t too long ago. otherwise, he usually only speaks when spoken to.

☆ fliqpy | htf introject | he/him | flick.txt also known as flick, but it can be spelt like fliq as well. he can be really talkative when he wants to be, and will usually come up to the front to spectate when i end up watching something marvel or action-related, seemingly just to commentate on it. also loves the new green cloak my mom bought for us, so he always fronts when i wear it. the definition of chill

☆ benrey | hlvrai introject | he/they | bbbbenrey.txt chaotic eldritch being. he was in the front for 2-3 hours last night as of posting this, and did nothing but cackle and commentate on what i was reading. you’ll probably hear from him a lot on here, but we’ll just have to see-

☆ bunny / aster | rotg introject | he/him | bunnymund.txt i was so tempted to make this man’s tag ‘kangaroo.txt’ but he insisted on bunnymund instead. met him last night, and now that i know he’s been here for a while, that explains the occasional australian accent bursting through-

☆ jack frost | rotg introject | he/him | jackfrost.txt apparently, he’s been here for over three years,,? which i guess makes sense, in terms of when i’ve fixated on what.

☆ monkey king / peaches | lmk introject | he/him | monkeyking.txt literally every single time we encounter him in co-con, i get a mental image of him lounging back on his cloud or hanging upside down. alright, spider-monkey

☆ red son | lmk introject | he/him | redson.txt i didn’t even know he existed in our headspace until i started rewatching a few episodes, and the moment i said his name out loud while talking about how i’m surprised a red son introject hasn’t appeared yet, he immediately jumps into co-con with “well, it looks like you spoke too soon!” he probably won’t post here too often, but we’ll just have to see.

☆ macaque | lmk introject | he/him | macaque.txt currently really quiet since we just met him, but he gets really bitter whenever monkey king is mentioned or sharing co-con with him. he likely won’t post here much, but we’ll just have to see.

☆ ƎNA | introject | they/he/she | ENA.txt will likely type in blue or yellow text if they ever choose to post here! big fan of dreamcore, not to mention our arcade-esque headspace. they said it feels like home :]

☆ imp | twelve/origins introject | he/him | reapercat.txt no one expected this reaper of a cat to show up in our headspace, but here he is! and his tag may or may not be a placeholder, we can’t really think of anything :’]

☆ beetlejuice / beej | bj musical introject | he/they | ghostwiththemost.txt imagine just chilling and then suddenly hearing beetlejuice’s voice commentate on what you’re doing in the back of your head. i’d say he’s pretty close to canon, and he usually prefers to go by ‘beej’ since he still instinctively follows the “don’t say ‘beetlejuice’ three times” rule.

☆ austin | wii deleted you introject | he/him | austin.txt he doesn’t talk too often, unless directly spoken to, otherwise he’s usually chilling in co-con or just,, watching. waiting for drama, i guess-

☆ eteled | wii deleted you introject | he/him | eteled.txt he’s in co-con pretty often, and it’s hard to miss him since i’m pretty sure he has the deepest voice out of everyone here. he might post here every now and then, but we’re not too sure about that yet.

☆ BEN | creepypasta introject | he/they | majorasmask.txt he’s been here for maybe four years, according to what he told us. which makes sense, ‘cause i’m pretty sure that was back when i was going back and forth between hyperfixating on creepypasta and accidentally forgetting about it. he’ll probably end up posting here every once and a while.

☆ bendy | batim introject | he/it | dancingdemon.txt flirty dumb ink demon who keeps getting ink everywhere.

☆ blixer | jsab introject | he/it | boss.txt loud sentient spiky shape. do not give him the guitar, do NOT (i say while he's literally playing the guitar in co-con)

☆ baldi | bbieal introject | he/him | mathman.txt i was not expecting to find any introjects from baldi’s basics, but he’s here now. generally close to canon, i think-

☆ filename2 | bbieal introject | he/him | filename2.txt also known as M. very tired of his voice glitching out, but fortunately it doesn’t do much of that when he’s in co-con.

☆ wybie | coraline introject | he/him | wyborn.txt met him yesterday! he’ll probably post here every now and then since he’s in co-con so often, but i don’t think he’s fronted much.

☆ zelda | breath of the wild introject | she/her | zelda.txt still questioning on whether or not she’s an actual alter since we barely hear from her at all,, we’ll update eventually

☆ giovanni | epithet erased introject | he/him | giovannipotage.txt sweet!! he gets along with paisley and indy really well :]

☆ molly / indy / bear trap | epithet erased introject | she/they | beartrap.txt just met her recently! so far, she’s really sweet.
