🌡- What television programs do you watch when you’re home sic (for Jacob)

♡ The Return of Unusual Questions

Ahhh, the first question for Jacob! Thanks so much! :D

This is actually a really good question, especially because I think Jacob's more serious side is portrayed a lot more heavily in the books and movies (mostly because we see him pining over Bella and the rage he has toward Edward). With that being said, I think it's important to remember that Jacob really does have a warm, fun-loving, and down-to-Earth personality.

Keep in mind, this is the guy that rebuilds motorcycles and cars for fun; seems to enjoy bonfires; listens to songs like "All I Believe in" by The Magic Numbers (this is the song that Bella turns off during the motorcycle scenes, when she says she doesn't like music anymore); and rough houses with Quil, Embry, and the other pack members. Presumably, he spends a lot of time walking around the First, Second, and Third Beaches, too. He also gave Bella a dreamcatcher for her birthday (which I can't remember if he made it or not, but he did make the little wolf charm he gave her later, which makes me think that he might have also made the dreamcatcher).

When he's sick in particular, that rage and pining is going to be diminished because he's already not feeling well and spending that excess energy into that is just... not going to help. With that being said, he's obviously not going to be joyful/playful to the extent that he typically is (wolf and jealousy aside, ofc).

So, I think he would be watching things that bring him comfort and maybe bring a smile to his face. Probably things that he used to watch with his mom before her passing, or maybe things he watched with his sister, Rachel, before she moved away and began attending Washington State University. If he's upset and sick, he'll probably do the complete opposite and avoid them because he wouldn't want those reminders on top of what he's already dealing with. If that's the case, he might go with old movies, certain cartoons, or TV shows. Either way, Jacob seems like the type to self-soothe with pieces of his past and those who are still around (like maybe he watches these kinds of things with Quil and Embry now, or Billy, his father).

Does Billy ever have any moments where he feels bad for how he's treating Max, even if he won't likely voice it?

Notes

(Potential spoilers ahead for the series & book. TW for language and brief mentions of abuse, trauma, & fatality.) I just got "Runaway Max", although I haven't had a chance to read and analyze it yet, so for argument's sake, we'll mostly go with the TV series on this one. I'll include a bit of the observations/information in "Runaway Max" as well but they'll probably be more vague since, as I said, I haven't had a chance to go through the book just yet. This also applies to my muse, of course, as he's mostly canon-based; his information will be updated as soon as I've finished the book, too.

Hi, Anon! Thanks for sending this in ( ☆ ╹◡╹)ノ 💜

The short answer is yes. The longer answer requires a little bit of a character analysis (below the cut for anyone who is interested).

However, I will mention that part of the reason Billy doesn't voice it is most likely because of his abusive father, Neil, since outside of the physical altercations, there was also psychological abuse going on. There's a part in the book where Billy came home (something to do with the police 👀) and Neil takes out a belt; however, Max ends up stepping in to protect Billy, which Neil takes advantage of in order to taunt Billy for, 'having a girl protect him.' There are probably several instances of this off-screen, and as we already saw in the series, Neil refers to Billy with a slur ('faggot').

I've been debating on this for a while now, especially knowing that he fought through the Mind Flayer's possession during two separate occasions (both having to do with people he cared about or at least had a semblance of connection with; one event being with Karen Wheeler and the other a memory of his mother, although it was technically Eleven that was physically there). That's important because it demonstrates that he does have the capability to feel remorseful and/or cares about hurting people.

We also see him apologize to Max, just before he succumbs to his wounds; then, during the aftermath, we never hear Max say or indicate that it was the only time she had ever heard him apologize, that she was surprised that he did, etc. Not even in idle comments. That's interesting to me because that means that somewhere along the lines, he had apologized to her before, although we may never know about what (and it would probably be relatively recent because otherwise she would have said something like, 'I haven't heard him apologize since I was ten', because it would probably stick out to her if he didn't occasionally apologize to her; I also won't ignore that she might have just been in shock about his passing, yet even a year later, it was still never indicated, although she's still coping with PTSD, sudden loss, etc.).

In the show, Max mentions that before they moved to Hawkins, Billy had always been a jerk but he was more angry after leaving California (where he was comfortable — he had all his friends; could potentially get away from Neil because his friends probably let him stay for nights/weeks at a time; knew places to get resources he needed if/when Neil wouldn't provide them; probably knew people that had been friends with his biological mom, etc.).

One of the things that we know is that Max saw both the good and bad sides of Billy. Some of the good/nice things that Billy did (mentioned in "Runaway Max"):

Gave Max her first cigarette (I believe it's her first, I would have to re-read that part); this isn't technically good, of course, because he really shouldn't be encouraging her to smoke, but he's sharing with her and seemingly trying to build that sibling bond (also, to be fair, things were different in the 80's regarding cigarettes and the 'surgeon general' warnings)

Crowned her with the nickname 'Mad Max', which we see that she still uses at the arcade later on in Hawkins (if your relationship is terrible, you probably wouldn't be using the nickname they gave you, which is another indicator to me that Billy probably made up for some of how he treated Max and/or apologized genuinely enough that Max still felt okay/liked using that nickname)

Three weeks into Neil being married to her mother, Susan, they went to dinner one night at Captain Spaulding's; Max and Neil got into an argument and she was sent out to her mother's car by Neil. Soon after, Billy follows her (I'm still guessing he might have said something to Neil before he went to join Max, although he may have just left without a word) and stands there for a while before he lights a cigarette, then tells Max that Neil isn't a good guy and couldn't be a father to either of them (this is probably an attempt to comfort her, although since Billy hasn't really had practice with that since his mom left, he's clueless on how to do this properly)

With that being said, Billy is shown to feel remorse/care, it doesn't seem weird to Max that Billy apologized (despite the circumstances he does that under), she acknowledges both the good and bad in Billy (the bad we see from the show but she also mentions in the book, when Billy's beating up Steve at the Byers' house, that Billy was turning more into Neil because his father had 'gotten into his head'), and we also see Billy trying to have some sort of familial connection with her (even if it's in his own way).

So, yes, I think that Billy has moments where he feels bad about how he treats Max, even if he isn't likely to voice it out loud. I think, under different circumstances, Billy could have grown a lot from his relationship with Max.

I think a really underutilized vore idea is preds with multiple stomachs! You got preds like nagas and centaurs, who usually have 2 different stomachs in art/stories involving them, one that can hold people, and one that digests them. It's a really fun idea of a pred like this eating a group of people, sending a bunch of them down into their actual stomach to melt them into mush, but havibg to leave a few in their holding stomach until their friends have melted down a but more. Imagine how loud it'd be, listening to all the muffled yelling, groaning, and churning happening just below you, knowing that soon enough you'll be in that same spot. Oughh man I love it !!!
