am i the only one who’s sad that joe got to play metallica and meet the band, even though billy’s favorite song is the four housemen and metallica is probably his favorite band?
i know that eddie’s character is its own but i can’t shake the feeling that eddie’s character was given a storyline billy could have had (if anyone had cared about him)
some people just don’t like traumatised/abused characters who aren’t soft and sweet and mistake free
the character in question is, in their mind, only valid/worthy of redemption and happiness if they react to trauma in an way that’s deemed ‘appropriate’
All those Trump supporters buying coffee at Starbucks just to make them write the name ‘Trump’ on the cup is so ridiculous. Maybe giving the coffee to a homeless person instead of taking a selfie with it would have been a better statement. Wait, never mind, they wouldn’t share, that’s waaay too liberal.
How The Duffel Bags left Billy Post-Starcourt:
How fans fix it:
And I think that’s beautiful
God I am so tired of seeing people online simping for 01’s murderous krypt keeper looking ass and getting praised for it when the mere mention of liking Billy online gets you a ton of hate, tf is wrong with the internet man
The hypocrisy is amazing. Cause you know that if it were Ted Wheeler ogling, flirting, AND agreeing to sleep with Heather in S3, fans would be out for his blood (for good reason). But, because it was a woman preying on a teenage boy, the narrative pushes her predatory behavior under the rug and said woman apparently gets a bigger role for the next season.
me when i remember billy was 17 when karen put him in her spank bank and decided to openly thirst after him for an entire year following
I just wanna let everyone know that my blog is a VERY VERY safe place for billy stans/kinners.
you are heard, you are loved and you are safe with me. <3
The true tragedy of Billy Hargrove is that he was a too complex character for the world he was set in.
His very existence strikes at the core of the show and its character by inviting the viewer to dive deeper into his motives and the nuances of his character. Which then leads to questioning other characters.
Which is a big problem for some viewers. Once you start doing it, you realise all of your faves are problematic. El is a murderer fueled by rage. Hopper is a murderer. Alexei is a murderer in a way. Jonathan is a creep. Eddie is a drug dealer - and we're not talking just weed, we're talking serious drugs. And so on...
And once you have to step back and realise that all of these characters are flawed human beings, panic might start to set in because your cinnamon rolls aren't that sweet after all.
So you're left with three choices:
To stop thinking about it and enjoy the show casually.
To accept they all have flaws. The world itself is not black and white.
To live in denial and become an anti. Because if you can shut up those who are affecting your core system of beliefs or label them as evil, then you can pretend all is well. (Except it's not and all your favs are problematic. Their complexity is what makes them such compelling characters in the first place. I mean if you're looking for something simple, I'd recommend going back to kids cartoons. Just not Peppa Pig, from what I saw of it, she's a little piece of shit too.)
Seeing people hate on Argyle as I gather every scrap of positive Argyle fan content into my arms and cry over them
It's honestly so funny tho bc like other than El, Argyle was undoubtedly THE most useful member of the Cali Team in season 4.
Who saved the group from being shot at and helped them successfully escape in his pizza van?
Argyle
Who pointed out that the secret message pen was "broken"?
Argyle
Who found the track marks in the desert that they were otherwise lost in?
Argyle
Who not only thought up the pizza freezer bath solution but was able to actually get it for them?
Argyle
