Ok I know we all like cold Steve and space heater billy but like??? What about a Billy who's constantly freezing? Like the cold of the upside down just won't leave him? He's wearing 3 layers even though it's 25°c outside. He's constantly stealing warmth from whoever will allow him in their personal space cougheddieandstevecough

I just need billy getting some comfort for once

Day 2: 08/15/1987

Devil’s Backbone State Park, Missouri

We have our first – and hopefully last - detour.

We were barely out of Indiana when we passed a sign for Devil’s Backbone, and Eddie declared it the most metal sounding name for a campsite that he’d ever heard and insisted we just had to go. It was way out of our way. Finding the place was a real nightmare and we got lost several times with Steve navigating. It was late afternoon before we found the place so now, we’ve pretty much lost a day. I swear they must have planned it because Steve had conveniently packed a tent and a couple of sleeping bags. I swear, if I miss Argyle’s birthday because of these idiots, I’ll…I don’t know what I’ll do, but I’m going to be so pissed. I planned it so that there would be some time to spare in case we broke down or something. I didn’t factor in the three of them derailing everything. I was out voted of course, so what could I do but just go along with it.

Myself and Steve were on tent duty seeing as we were going to be the ones sleeping in it – with warning to pitch it well away from the van where Eddie and Billy would be sleeping. I say myself and Steve, but it became clear very quickly that Steve had never been camping a day in his life and he was way more of a hinderance than a help. In the end, I set it up myself with Steve holding what I told him to hold and complaining through the whole process. Bonnie and Clyde were in charge of building the camp fire. In hindsight, we probably shouldn’t have assigned the two delinquents a job involving fire, but it went fine miraculously. They had pretty good fire going by the time Steve and I finished up. Now they’re toasting marshmallows, smoking weed, and telling stories around the fire. It’s actually pretty cosy.

“Okay, okay, last story. It’s kind of short but I promise it’s a good one. So, my uncle told me this one one night when he was drunk which means it’s 100% true. He heard it from his father, my grandfather. My grandpa went into check on my dad to say goodnight one night. As my grandpa was tucking my dad in, my dad asked, “can you check under my bed for monsters?” My dad was about five at the time. It was pretty normal request for a kid so my grandpa took a look. But when he looked under the bed he saw my dad, eyes wide with fear, whispering, “Daddy, there’s somebody in my bed!””

“Goddammit Eddie! Why does it always have to be a fucking creepy-ass story? Can’t you tell one of your stupid fantasy stories?”

“Aww, is widdle baby Biwwy scared?”

“Knock it off, Eddie. I’m serious. Do you want to be punched? Because you’re this fucking close.”

“Shit! Do you guys hear something?”

“Relax, Steve, it’s probably just a bird or something. Don’t let Eddie’s stories get to you.”

“Easy for you to say, Byres. You don’t believe in ghosts…”

“Wait, wait, wait. You believe in ghosts and shit! Oh my God, this is too good.”

“Quit your cackling, Munson.”

Steve and Billy are really on edge. And I don’t blame them for getting freaked out by Eddie’s stories. In anyone else’s hands, the stories were mediocre at best and downright funny at worst. But something about the way his eyes get all big and intense, body edging ever closer as he leans in, the flames of the campfire casting dark shadows on his face; it was all just a bit unsettling. He knows how to tell a good story; I’ll give him that. He has them hanging on to his every word as he builds up to the climax. The eeriness of being in a forest, miles from anyone, was only adding to the overall creepy atmosphere; sucking them further into whatever weird tale Eddie spun. They never stood a chance really whether they believed in ghosts or not. Even I had chills and I wasn’t even really listening.

“Whatever. I’m going to take a piss.”

“Ugh, I’d love to smack that smug smirk of his stupid face.”

“Can do, Harrington. And I know just the thing. You want in, Byres?”

“Hmm, what? Uh, no. I’ll leave it to you two.”

“You sure? You really don’t want to miss this. Trust me.”

“Nah, really, I’m good. You guys have fun scaring Eddie and I’ll keep an eye on the fire. Just don’t scare him too badly.”

“No promises. The little shit deserves it.”

As civil as Billy has been so far, I know firsthand how he can take things too far, especially when provoked. And Eddie’s been poking the bear all day without anything to keep him occupied. The vein in Billy’s temple was becoming more and more pronounced with every second that passed today. I guess calling him out on being a scaredy cat was the last straw. As long as I’m not on the receiving end of Billy’s temper, I don’t really care. Godspeed, Eddie.

It's actually nice out here in nature, away from all the noise. I couldn’t have asked for better weather; there’s not a cloud in the sky. A perfect night for star gazing. I might have to take up camping. I did it a little as a kid, but only in the field behind my house in summer to avoid Lonnie so it doesn’t really count. It would make for an amazing date. Speaking of dates, I wonder if Argyle likes camping. It would be nice to do something like this with him. We could head down to the beach, camp there in the back of Argyle’s van, get baked and trace constellations. Maybe if the mood is right and I don’t chicken out, we could have our first kiss there – a perfect kiss on a perfect date. If only I were here with him now instead of herding these idiots across the country, I’d be having a much better time for sure. At least I have a bit of peace a quite now that they’re all occupied.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Jesus H Christ!! I’m going to murder you two in your sleep!”

Well, that was short lived.

The ST boys as werewolves.

So forever ago I posted about Harringrovson werewolf headcanons. I drew them up based off those pictures but in my style. Not sure how satisfied I am yet w/ the designs (especially Eddie's). But before I actually do like dynamic poses and stuff I like to have color and pattern references. So at least that's done now.

(Me realizing I posted the one without my signature lol 😆 oh well)

Hello and welcome!

This is going to mainly be a Billy Hargrove/harringrove centric blog. If this interests you, feel free to follow! I’d love some mutuals.

If this ISN’T your cup of tea, please just go away. Remember, you curate your online experience. If you are going to send hate to me, you will be blocked. I have no interest in arguing with people who don’t listen.

This blog is minor friendly, no smut or suggestive content will be posted. I will try to tag correctly and use proper TWs when needed, but please correct me if I miss something.

I most likely won’t post too often. I am interested in writing fanfiction, so feel free to send me requests as long as they are appropriate and don’t include too much gore. I am open to writing ships other than harringrove (mungrove,harringrovson, buckleway, hellcheer, etc.), just let me know the pairing and I’ll do my best! Hope you enjoy this blog, and have a wonderful day!
