bill dickey & the cycle of abuse theory

i think about evan dorkin's point of saying "bill wasn't always a sociopath" because i think it really explores something interesting about the cycle of abuse and the effects it has on others. so here's a really really long text post about it !

tldr, sock has a really convoluted theory about bill's mom's possible abuse towards her son and it causing a big issue for bill and his mental health and literally everyone else who crosses his path

tw for abuse , manipulation , trauma

to first begin, let's look at bill at the beginning of the series! at first, we see bill as almost the same as he was in the "welcome to eltingville" pilot. a lot of people say that the tv version of bill is really tame in comparison to comic bill & i 100% agree. one potential reason for this may be that the art styles are so vastly different when you really look like it and all of the scenes were bill goes absolutely insane would be hard to animate for adult animation shows. typically the styles are simpler for the sake of cost but this might be different since we had a lot of great shows in the 2000s that were able to accomplish both ( but that's a conversation for another day ).

but in bill's case, i feel this was almost intentional ( & kind of not ) since the scenes chosen for the show were the beginning of the comic! throughout the comic, we see bill get worse and worse and he comes to his greatest failure in the epilogue where i very strongly believe ( and i think its canon ? ) that he caused the injuries and potential death of multiple people during the comic con fiasco. like i dont know if any of you guys have been to the jacob javits center ( where the comic con in the comic takes place ) but there's like thousands of kids, elderly, and full grown adults that basically pack the entire building. THAT HAS MULTIPLE FLOORS BY THE WAY. like there have been times i've had to squeeze through people in just the artist's alley, IMAGINE THE TINY ASS FOOD AREA & THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

and you may be asking "sock, what in the hell would possibly cause this impulsivity and disregard for human life in someone who is pretty much normal other than being a creep???". so it turns out the answer to that question is divorce and abuse.

i'm definitely not qualified to diagnose anyone, especially not in the realms of personality disorders ( im just a depressed and anxious autist lol ) but since we have confirmation that bill is a sociopath by evan dorkin, i can back this up with COLD HARD FACTS!!!

first to begin, sociopathy is a mental personality disorder that can be caused by genetics AND by societal / environmental factors. so it is 100% possible that bill was either born with sociopathy and the events brought them on strongly OR he wasn't born with sociopathy and his trauma brought it on. in my opinion, i believe the first option is more possible since we have 0 info on bill's parents other than his mom being abusive ( WHICH DOES NOT MEAN THAT SOCIOPATHS ARE MORE INCLINED TO ABUSE ). so that's up to you guys!

sociopathy is characterized by someone who frequently does impulsive and erratic behaviors. this person has the ability to have strong connections with others but not many. they can be kind of mean but have the ability to be empathetic in some circumstances. they may be hotheaded and tend to rationalize their actions despite them obviously being wrong. this describes bill perfectly, sadly enough.

now, im gonna list off some of the points where bill's sociopathy comes out. if you disagree with any or think i missed one, please let me know! the first time we see bill show off sociopathic behavior is him threatening his little brother, tommy, for his dad's money so he can buy the dreaded boba fett figure. from this we also learn that, in this divorce, it's very probable that bill's parents live in two seperate houses. if his mom were home during this scene, like she is in the first club meeting scene, she probably would've told bill to be quiet. we also know this because after the comic shop fire, she tells him that her sister invited them to live with her ( hopefully that paused the abuse for some time or maybe not, ill get to that later ). the idea that bill could threaten his little brother as a angry angsty teenager isn't that hard to believe but knowing what we know now, this is a little worse. another scene later on shows this getting worse. during the intervention scene, we can see how he's willing to excuse away most of the "nerd behavior" he does, despite him being able to easily just say "okay, i'll give it up". but because he tends to make himself seem better to others by excusing it away, he is willing to put it to 100%, even puking on the guys. and from there, i don't think i have to explain the sociopathic tendencies behind the comic book fire scene and the comic con epilogue.

now what does this have to do with bill's mom? like i said earlier, evan dorkin has come out and said that along with pete, bill also experiences abuse from one of his parents. in this case, it's bill's mom. we don't see much of her but we know that she's usually angry and bill doesn't like her. he never says anything to her face though, which is fair in the case of abuse. sociopathy can be brought out in someone due to trauma and abuse is a traumatic thing to experience.

perhaps, bill's familial abuse makes him believe subconsciously that hurting others is okay. this is NOT true for all abuse victims ( i would know ) but in some cases ( especially in pop culture ), this is true. my opinion on the situation between the divorce and the abuse is this:

bill's mother was abusive towards bill and maybe bill's dad and brother

the parents got divorced and bill was sent to live with his mom while tommy was sent to live with his dad, splitting custody

due to bill being the older one, he is able to move between the homes but maybe bill's dad doesn't allow tommy to live in bill's mom's house

due to us not seeing any "clear signs" of abuse, there is a chance that bill's mom stopped physically abusing him for the time being due to court order

bill might possibly hate his mom because of their close proximity or fhe fact that she "scared" his dad away, ruining their family

the main reason for why i believe abuse is involved is the fact that he was pretty normal when the club first started ( which i assume was freshman year because of how small they look ). and yes, divorce can cause kids to act out but to such an extent implies that something possibly really bad happened.

thank you for reading and please let me know what you think ! be kind and have a great day (*´∀｀*)

Please excuse the smudginess we used tracing paper for detailed drawing, because no way we were going to risk putting an eraser to the only copy of our sketch when it contains FOUR people at once and just figuring out the anatomy took us an hour.

Also took the liberty of inserting ourselves in there because again. FOUR people, when there's only three blorbos we wanna draw, so... why ever not at this stage? We're hanging out with the blorbos now. We've earned it

[chronicpaingirlie]

yknow it’s funny . after maybe two years of seeing doctors for my severe chronic pain, not a single thing has been recommended for pain relief outside of medicine and exercise.

my one doctor is determined to ‘wean me off’ using mobility aids while also offering absolutely no help or alternatives for how to relieve my constant pain. my other doctor told me she didn’t know why my meds aren’t helping more, and that i should try water aerobics. (i have told her multiple times that i cannot exercise, as it makes my pain significantly worse.)

like. maybe it’s partly on me for not asking directly if they had any ideas for stuff besides the meds that might help, but the fact that ive had to look into compression gloves, braces, mobility aids, etc 100% on my own because doctors are so determined that the magical combination of meds & exercise will fix me is so :/

charmy sage still infecting my brain... I think sage met the Chaotix bc they were going through one of Eggman's bases and Eggman programmed Sage to watch over all of his bases so she came through the screen of a computer like the bitch from The Ring and scared the shit out of all of them. they weren't really prepared for it and had no idea eggman even had a kid so yes they got their asses one shot soloed by a little girl

charmy would try (and fail honestly) to get sage to come to the good side (she's not gonna go against her dad) but even if she won't budge i think charmy would still attempt to be her friend behind sonic and everyone else's backs because he's afraid they'll make him stop talking to her. he'd introduce sage to all kinds of stuff in his world like the chao garden and pop rocks. sage is mostly 😐 about the entire thing because she's kinda a blank slate but she'll eventually come around to enjoying the time she spends with him.

if the rest of the chaotix found out about sage and charmy's little infatuation with her they'd probably get into a spat but then they all turn and see sage holding her hand out near their only VCR + TV threatening to fry it if they don't leave charmy alone and vector is like STOP THAT WAS EXPENSIVE!! THATS RETRO STOP!!!!!! lolololol

espio just accepts it but vector's a little peeved charmy's crushing on an enemy but he's even more peeved he's apparently into emo girls already. do you have ANY IDEA how expensive charmy's therapy bills are gonna be when charmy hits his teens??? good gaia. charmys like an emo magnet, first he idolizes shadow and now he's crushing on some hot topic ai girl.... we need to study this kid for science
