#the child bear is Flippy and his dad

[sweetybaty]

A bunch of request I made in twitter The cat character is from my friend Faesdoodles on twitter

[treetownconfessions]

if i were a fucking orphan living with flippy i think id be more worried about him consistently talking to his reflection in the mirror affectionately than the fact that his alter supports child soldier training

see this is why your dad isnt a bright green bear

Pop?

Pop

1: Any headcanons I have of them.

He tries his fucking best.

Loves his son more than anything.

Dad jokes ™

Sometimes I HC that his wife is still alive but they’re divorced. She fights him over child custody a lot.

Wants to relax for 5 minutes without something going wrong.   

2. Any pairings I ship them with.

Pop x Disco Bear. Headcanon that they dated in college before/the start of Disco becoming famous. They ended up breaking up (reason is situational, usually its either Disco getting caught up in the limelight, Disco cheating, Pop falling in love with Cub’s mom, etc.) and they got back together some time after Pop has Cub.

I see people ship Pop x Flippy so I that’s alright too. I headcanon Fliqpy having a soft spot for Cub that I forgot to mention before.

3. What kind of music/artists I’d think they’d listen to.

All he wants to do is lay down and relax to some Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble.

Hi flippy!!! So I think that Hopper would be a amazing father for Billy, what do you think?

Oh yeah, I love surrogate Good Dad Hopper for Billy! Imagine Hopper trying to get through to him, Billy’s struggling, not hurting anyone but angry. Hopper’s hands are tied because Billy won’t cop to anything about Neil and even if he did well it’s the 80′s, child abuse is much less criminalized. Hopper sees a telling moment in public, keeps a mean eye on Neil Hargrove. Gets a chance to say to Billy, “Listen, you can come by my place. If you need somewhere to go, I mean.” Billy’s gotten closer to Steve at this point, considers going there but he can’t bear to yet, doesn’t want Steve’s pity, at least not yet. 

So one night Billy show up at Hopper’s place, but he won’t say what’s happened. Billy’s walking a little tenderly, but his face isn’t bruised or anything. Billy feels like a live wire, out of his element. Hopper tries to act like this is no big deal, offers him dinner and a coke. But then there’s weird quiet girl about Max’s age. who looks at him like she already knows him. Billy feels better when he goes there. He doesn’t tell anyone about it. Eleven tells him she likes his earring and that makes him smile.

Billy starts hanging out at Hopper’s a lot, they talk sports, he just hangs out.

Then one night they’re all watching TV, eating dinner, and Billy fits in so well suddenly that Hopper just plain forgets and says “El, would you pass the salt?”

The salt’s on the other side of the room. Then it’s not. Then it’s floating across the room into Hopper’s waiting hand. 

Billy drops his fork. Hopper says, “Oh…”

El says, “Oh.”

Billy says, “Um…what the hell?”

BUT THEN IMAGINE THAT HOPPER GIVES HIM A VAGUE IDEA OF WHAT’S GOING ON WITH EL BUT DOESN’T HAPPEN TO MENTION THAT BILLY’S NEW FRIEND STEVE HARRINGTON KNOWS TOO MUCH LESS MAX. AND BILLY DOESN’T SAY A WORD TO STEVE OR MAX, FEELS SO PROTECTIVE OF EL AND THEN IT MAKES HIM FEEL DIFFERENTLY ABOUT MAX AND HE REALIZES HE WAS PROTECTIVE OF HER IN ALL THE WRONG WAYS BEFORE.

Like one night some monster shit goes down, Hopper leaves the cabin, and maybe like Steve shows up at Hopper’s while Eleven is Idk seeing into the Upside Down and whatever she’s seeing is making her freak out. Billy is kind of guarding her (not that she needs a guard but she’s freaking out right now and Hopper told him to look out for her). Steve drives up

IT’S AN EXACT REVERSE OF THE BYERS.

Billy comes down the steps. “Harrington? What’re you doing here?”

“I could ask you the same thing.”

Billy gets deja vu. They both do. But it’s not going to down that way again if Billy has anything to say about it. He finds now he actually wants to do right by Hopper and Eleven because he trusts them in a way he never trusted his own family since his mother.

“Steve.” Billy never calls him Steve so it must be important. “Look, we’re friends okay. But I need you to go.”

Steve doesn’t want to be suspicious but he can’t help but be a little suspicious.

“Billy, what the hell are you doing here? You gotta tell me what’s going on? I…I know shit okay…”Billy squints at that when all of a sudden from inside Eleven screams, “BILLYYY!!!” Because Idk she just saw an army of demogorgons making for a portal to our world or something.

Billy and Steve both go racing. “Shit,” Steve says. “Eleven? Are you okay?”

Billy’s like, “You know her?”

“I told you, “Steve says, “I know shit. We’re in this together alright?”

Billy nods. 

When it’s all over Hopper finds Billy. Hugs him. Billy’s a little stiff at first, relaxes into it for just a second, is not used to easy fatherly affection on any level.

“You did real good, Billy,” Hopper says. Claps him on the shoulder. “I’m proud of you.”

Billy nods, doesn’t say anything. He totally doesn’t find somewhere to choke back tears because dad said he was proud of him.
