Boyz hate broccoli, and Shanklin is ready to swallow any muck that is given to him. That's how their interests converged ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ford is trying to hide their little dirty trick :)

I love the hc that Billy and Stu were childhood buds who became friends because they were both into weird shit.
Stu is trying to freak out his classmates and it’s effective for everyone except Billy. They make eye contact. Boom. Unbreakable bond.
Like there’s a dead animal at the playground that makes everyone else run away except for them. Stu would probably pick it up and chase people.
Stu also definitely got in trouble for biting other kids too often.
I also imagine that Billy would read IT and make a blood pact with Stu.
I have so many thoughts about them growing up together.
Yes! I hc this too, I've had the same thought abt the dead animal with Stu.
I think Stu joined their class in grade 2 or something and Randy befriended him but Billy (who was basically friendless at this point because he's not be interested in anyone) sees the new kid chasing classmates around with a dead animal and his tiny mind is like 'Oh shit, thats friend shaped'.
I actually think Billy is the one who bites Stu first. It's that autistic kid moment where you rly want to connect but you have no idea how. You're a little over stimulated just being at school so you aren't wording the best, and you go up to them and you don't know what to say so then you just find yourself doing something out of impulse and in Billy's case he just fucking sinks his teeth into Stu's arm.
He's done this before and usually the kid screams and he gets in trouble, but Stu doesn't even squeak he just bites Billy right back and then they're just two puppies on the playground havin a playfight.
And I think Stu probably gets away with his weird behaviour more than Billy does just because he's more outgoing. But the other kids are mostly just freaked out by all of Stu's creepy shit until Billy, who legitimately thinks its cool and is too young to have built up defence mechanisms around that, and that makes Stu feel incredible.
I think Stu becomes a special interest for him pretty early, and again, he's not self-aware enough to be hiding it so he's going home to his mom and telling her all about his new friend and the dead mouse they found. Honestly he probably only learns to shut that down because of Hank, who I think would be weird about his sons fascination with this other boy.
Definitely gonna need to write some young them at some point.
