Hey hiya hi Hi, I stumbled across your Blog because of your Billy post and then I saw that you had this rly detailed and indepth dissection of that other character and I have no cleu who that is but I've still read the whole thing and it was awesome and now I wanted to ask you if you could make something like that about Billy maybe? You seem to like Billy and that would be so great 👀😫🥰

Well hello there, love!

Honestly, I would love to. Because you're absolutely right, I do like Billy a lot and I'm a slut for tragic characters and I really enjoy writing these analyses.

Thing is, however: I don't have much to work with, when it comes to Billy.

With Astarion - the chap from my obnoxiously long post - you get a lot of input, both actively and passively. There's a ton of conversations to be had with a ton of different options to pick, mostly each leading to its own answer and reactions.

But that's not it. You get to see where he grew up, you get a lot of backstory and you get to see his very passive reactions. You know, Astarion is from Baldur's Gate 3, a crpg where you make the choices. But you get to see his reaction to your choices, get to see what he approves and disapproves which tells you a fuck ton about his character and grants me a good basis to build my observations on.

With Billy however? Not so much. If I had to guess, I'd say the fella has maybe 50 minutes of screening spread out over four seasons, 15 of which he is actually himself. The other 35 minutes are either spent under the influence of the mind flayer or impersonated by vecna. So we don't get to see the true Billy all too much, so most of the things I'd write would probably be at least half bases on headcanons, which would probably still be fine but I personally like to stick to the things I can actually provide evidence for if you know what I mean. (At this point, it might as well be lasting uni trauma, haha.)

On top of that, there's another thing that makes Astarion somewhat of a special case and that is, quite plainly, how well he is written. You can tell that there was a lot of attention to detail and that the authors put both research and love into his character. (In my personal opinion, his writing even far excels that of other origin characters in the game, which is pure art because they're all amazingly written.)

Combine that with Neil Newbon's - Astarions VA - performance and you have a proverbial feast for people like me.

We don't get that with Billy. A lot of Billy - both his charme and his tragedy - rides on Dacre Montgomery's shoulders. His performance and his very obvious love for the character make up a lot of the Billy we've seen but, in the end, I don't think he is that well written as a character. There were a lot of moments where I felt they wasted his potential by letting him fall flat because he was nothing but this throwaway character, throwaway "villain" they build.

(Which matches up with what Dacre Montgomery said, how he asked them to give him a story because that boy wouldn't be evil for no reason, which just once again proves that all Billy we got to see was entirely carried by Dacre Montgomery and Dacre Montgomery alone.)

This a problem the stranger writers all seem to have, somehow. Characters they don't deem that important can be rendered a bit flat, which makes them pretty two dimensional between the otherwise colourful cast of stranger things and, as someone who holds side characters and minor characters in extremely high regard, this annoys me to no end. A story without side characters is lifeless and empty, so the least they deserve is to be paid attention to. But they don't, which is why I personally find it extremely easy to guess which character is going to stay and which one isn't.

So far, the only character that surprised me was Steve. I was 100% convinced he'd be gone by the end of season 1, because season 1 Steve also felt like a caricature of himself. "Main good girl's popular boyfriend that gets knocked down a peg by the "looser" character and falls from grace". So when he came back around in season 2 - and with that much added charme - I was like damn? Pretty boy is still around! And he has a proper personality this time!

Anyway, sorry love this turned a bit ranty towards the end there - to make it short: I would really truly love to write an analysis on Billy Hargrove, but I don't think I actually can do so properly, I'm sorry! 😭

14. Funniest thing that happened to you during the drawing process? -> Idk if this counts but I was trying a more cartoon expression on my style back in 2021-ish and I decided to throw pickachu meme faces on Grim and now whenever I open my drawing folder it always makes me smile whenever I see it😂😂

15. Most frustrating thing that happened to you during the drawing process?

-> Hmm I think it's the color display on my monitor and drawing tablet!! I like drawing more on my ipad because it's very color accurate! On my laptop it has more of a bluish hue and I never actually noticed it after a year of drawing on it😭😭 so now I'm so conscious of how it'll look on my phone being so off on the saturation💔💔

[cleumuu]

just want to let you know I unfollowed you cause you haven’t really been drawing twst lately. Love your art but the content youre doing? Meh.

Please don’t do this kind of stuff. Its very disheartening and disrespectful to send that because it personally bothers and pressures me unhealthily.

Genuine question but are you non-sharing with your oshis? Cause like I wanna interact more with fellow jamil yumes, but I'm scared I'll rub you the wrong way cause I also yume with em hshshs qwq

Oohhh!! If you haven’t seen my pinned post i’m okay with sharing Jamil!!! with Malleus I’m more of platonic with him— Like he’s an oshi as a fave but I’m more in romantic with Jamil if that makes sense!! !! Feel free to interact whenever you’re comfy!!😳😳

Hihi~ Do ignore this if you want for I am just a lowly, small cat who is traveling through all of Tumblr to check up on those I come across.

So, how are you? Did you eat something? Drink any water? Did you have a nice and peaceful rest? If yes, great! :D If not, do so. Your mental and physical health are very important!

That is all, I do hope you have a happy new year and may all your wishes come true <3
