Billy being an Aries is so right

Soooo I’m ngl I kinda just wanna start a new Billy fic. Or maybe completely rewrite this one with a ‘you format’ instead of ‘I.’ I’ve never written public fics like this before and I’m still getting the hang of it. Idk what to do tbh

Just wanted to pop in and say that just bc you read others fics and you like them, that doesn’t mean your writing isn’t good and loved by people ❤️

Keep writing !!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️

[strange-things-in-hawkins]

I wish I had used a “you” format instead of an “I”

[strange-things-in-hawkins]

Ugh I’m sorry guys I’m so unmotivated to write. Reading everyone else’s fics is making me want to completely ditch my own.

One thing I love about Billy’s character is his emotions are so erratic and unpredictable. He cries at the drop of a hat when overwhelmed or scared, he’s cool and collected when he’s around kids his age, a bucket of disdain around Max, he backtalks his dad but bends the knee when he gets aggressive, he laughs when Steve makes him bleed and he’s the perfect womaniser when he wants to be. He likes the attention of women, especially older women (maybe due to being abandoned by his mother *cough*).

Every person you talk to would likely have a different opinion on Billy Hargrove. Maybe he wants it that way. But if you were to know his past you’d see through him like glass and that’s what’s amazing about him. He is just another hot douchebag with anger issues until you see beneath his mask and we only really see beneath it when he breaks out of his possession temporarily in the sauna and when he dies.

And what truly baffles and amazes me is that a lot of people will never see Billy the way Eleven of all people did. That’s why he dies protecting her. He tried one last act of repentance for her. Because she finally saw beneath all the walls and pulled him from that dark, scary place.

I like to think if Billy had survived, he would have finally allowed himself to work on being at peace with his anger and resentment and allowed Eleven to teach him how to hold onto good and make new beginnings with friends. And with Max, especially.

Reminder that the DBs and Shawn Levy on Beyond Stranger Things called Billy, a 17 year old abusive victim, an irredeemable sociopath, and on another episode said that while his father's behavior MIGHT give a glimpse into Billy's behavior, it doesn't change the fact that he's (Billy) EVIL. And essentially something along the lines of he's the most evil human antagonist on the show. Yeah, they said that. Joe tried to defend Billy and say that even though he appeared popular and cool, he was actually hurting just like all the other characters and they brushed him off with "yes, sure" and proceeded to talk about how Steve was a popular jock. You're telling me a 17 year old abuse victim who, at worst (in season 2, this was before 3), bullied a few people and got in a couple fist fights is more evil and irredeemable than Dr. Brenner, a man who STOLE babies from their mothers and then (essentially) tortured them and experimented on them. Okay, sure. In what world does that make sense? In the words of Nancy Wheeler, it's bullshit.

Fuck anyone who ever perpetuates the idea that abuse victims are all abusers themselves who can't grow or learn, and fuck them for not redeeming Billy other than in death. He was a kid. Scared, lost, hurt, abused, misguided, and alone. One gentle touch and the reminder of the love and happiness of his mother and he threw off the control of an interdimensional monster and SAVED the whole fucking party. Fuck them for using him as a plot device for the party and to torture Max. Fuck them for having the party immediately trust and fill in Eddie, but not Billy. It's all bullshit and I'm pissed. He deserved a Steve Harrington level redemption arc. He deserved to learn, heal, and grow. I will never forget that they chose to write him out of the story in death instead of giving him true character growth.

Being a Billy Hargrove fic writer is hard

I feel so discouraged
