For the fandom thang, MaF? :]

Hehe tysm for the ask! :3

Fave male character: Mark, obviously

Fave female character: there's like 2 female characters in total 😭 going w grandma fuzz she slays

Least fave character: Mark's dad . No depth or anything to his character besides being an abusive pos

Fave ship: ehh maf is one of the fandoms where it's better without any romance ships? (Not like there's much ships that makes sense anyways)

Fave friendship: Mark, Donovan and Cupcake monster obviouslyy

Fave quote: "unfortunately you have [some illness I forgor] 😔" "How'd I get this!? D:" "Probably from the waiting room 🙄💅" this part always gets me 😭

Worst character death: ehh I don't rlly think there's any? But if I had to choose it'd be Mark's parents . It just happened right at the start n felt like shock value yk? Tho I do like how it introduces Billy as a character w no morals straight on. That's just me nitpicking tho I love all character deaths in maf ❤️

This made me so happy you have no idea: MARK ACTUALLY ESCAPING no cuz it was SO well written the ending was pulling on my heart strings I was for sure Billy was still alive n was gonna grab Mark at the end . It made me so happy that maf had a happy ending cuz I love happy endings in dark stories :3 (and also him straight up hitting Billy w a hammer like GO GIRL)

Saddest moment: cupcake monster's death :(( Mark eating him n slowly realising it's his friend :(((((((((

Fave location: the only location we see is that God awful house 😭

I would love,to hear more of you headcannons about Billy hendricks (the crazy serial kidnapper)

Omg tysm for the ask! I'm really glad you like my headcanons! :D (also I'm SO sorry this took so long I completely forgot abt this TwT)

More Billy Hendricks headcanons:

- he was one of those charming n friendly popular kids whom everyone seemed to like

- but when you actually look further, you find out he doesn't actually have "friends" . He just have people he hang out with sometimes but aren't really close to

- he wasn't exceptionally good at school subjects (except for drama) and he almost never do homework

- but never get a detention or any other punishments for it cuz of his acting career

- his mom was quite neglectful

- oh and he's also an only child

- he lived a very lonely life

- after his mom pulled him outta acting, people slowly stopped hanging out with him so much

- and since he didn't have friends anyway, soon enough he became very alone

- alone and withdrawn and angry, so very angry

- angry at his mom, angry at big monster, angry at his "friends", angry at himself

- he didn't get bullied or anything like that, people simply just don't care about him

- he don't know how to deal with that. He is too used to praises and admiration and attention

- even when he grew up, he could never let go of his shattered childhood dream, he cares about it more than anything

- he becomes obsessed with the whole big monster situation

- looking for big monster's cases, stalking his family, etc

- everytime he looks at Mark, all he sees is big monster

- he hates the colour orange.

- in his mind, he is still a child. he never really "grew up"

- he don't feel guilty for what he's done to Mark. In his mind, Mark is just like big monster. So he deserved it.

Hope you like these headcanons! :3

The origin of wide Billy

If you're in the twomp fandom, you've probably come across this image multiple times now. It's everywhere

Now you must be wondering where it came from. Buckle up cuz I'm gonna explain it 2 u rn.

Okay so the image first appeared in this post I made

I took the pfp of that ask blog and widened his face to create that image cuz I thought it'd be a funny response. Little did I know this would have great consequences.

My friend @eyedrinktwomp started spamming my dms with that image as a joke. So I made a post saying that theyre harrassing me (as a joke). And that started a whole chain of people spamming it in my inbox and dms. This prompted more people to join into the cult and now....it's everywhere.

@faenemy here's your explanation uwu

[twomp-thoughts]

Billy hendricks headcanons cuz why not .

- he doesn't have a dad (his dad either abandoned him or is dead idk)

- he viewed Big Monster as some sort of paternal figure

- during the time between Billy Hendricks turning 16 and him kidnapping Mark and starting maf, he worked at a retail job where he did the same thing every single day

- attention seeker (prolly canon)

- aroace (but he doesn't know it)

- had big dreams n aspirations which adults called unrealistic (especially after his mom got him out of the acting industry)

Uhh that's all ig. If you wanna hear my reasoning for any hc just lmk I'd be more than happy to talk abt it :]

[twomp-thoughts]

@icechippies thank you for giving me an excuse 2 talk about twomp found family au <33

Okay so!! Some basic stuff about my Plargos + Mark Found Family au (<- seriously I need a name for this, this is way too long) . Argos and Mr plant became friends with Mark, and as they become closer 2 each other it becomes apparent that it's more like them adopting Mark instead of being friends with him . Obviously Mark has been thru a LOT and takes a while 2 fully trust them,, but they care abt him sm and help him with when he needs help with anything- emotionally or physically . And they become a Found Family aww . For more info I literally wrote a fanfic about it soo if u wanna read it it's "A day in the life of Mark" in ao3! :33

Anyways!! With regards 2 your question, short answer it's young Mark . Long answer, So after a few months after Mark escaped Billy, he migrated 2 the Void. After staying there for a few days, he meets Argos!! There they became friends n Argos introduced him 2 Mr plant and they became friends too! After a bunch of shenanigans they become a found family :3

Some people might think this would be impossible since "Mr plant hates kids", but fear not! I come prepared with this Reasons Why Mr Plant Wouldn't Hate Mark

And here's How Twomp And Maf Lore Are Connected

Annnddd finally here's my Emo Mark au (au where Mark goes thru an emo phase) headcanons featuring Plargos found family!

[twomp-thoughts]

Wait have I ever posted my headcanons of the Plargos + Mark family au?

ALSO. I did not even think Mark would have a cousin,, I'm gonna have 2 think abt this 4 a WHILE on how 2 make it fit my Found Family Plargos And Mark Au .

I love Millie so much honestly I really hope she didn't actually die . Also I hope she didn't kill Mark too like I hope at least he survived, if Mark actually died I would be so sad :((

Like Mark n Millie is such a fitting name I need 2 draw a thousand fanart of them

Argos is so sweet omg,, he's helping kids despite the fact that he could die!! And despite the fact that he knew Millie was beyond saving, he still tried. He even brought the flower !! Look how kind he is!!

Argos almost swearing was so funny I did NOT expect that 😭

The last scene with the blue puppet was so cool hello?? Like arghhh absolutely amazing aodiosnwoajdw

Now I need 2 buy a blue puppet too n put ribbons on her 2 make her Mille (since I already have a Mark puppet)

I really hope ashur makes a part 2! I desperately need 2 know what happened next !!!

WAIT I WAS JUST ABT 2 HIT POST BUT. I JUST HAD AN AMAZING IDEA . HOLY SHIT FANFIC POTENTIAL OMFG HOLD ON YALL

Who is big mongest?m sorry I meant monster

OH BOY AM I GLAD U ASKED ME THAT!! Big monster is the guy who started it all, the guy who's the reason Billy hendricks turned out to be like this. Also Mark's uncle.

So the plot is, Billy was a child actor when he was a kid yeah. Big monster was a super famous actor. They were supposed 2 star in a show "my dear monster" together. But Big monster used Billy hendricks to lure children into his sewers so he can eat them. He got caught and in prison, a guy named Tim flowers killed him, claiming he "did it for the child". (We never see that Tim flower guy ever again tho) anyways because of this incident, Billy's mom made Billy stop being an actor cuz she thought "a life in the spotlight isn't for my son". <- in that poster Billy hendricks is seen 2 be crying. One can infer that this is what set him off to become a child kidnapper just like Big monster, nd kidnap his nephew Mark to do that maf episodes stuff. Oh and also! Mark's mom is Big monster's cousin yeah, she changed her last name cuz she "didn't want to be associated with that monster". So yeah that's basically it! Big monster was the guy who started it all, who died so fast in the plot, but continues to haunt the narrative.

Mark with horns headcanon!

So @corrupteddoodles came up with this headcanon that Mark would grow horns like his uncle Big Monster when he grow up. And I absolutely love it! It has so much angst potential and drawing horned creatures is always so fun!

So regarding 2 the horn design, I imagine he would has blue horns cuz Big Monster had red horns which went well with his red eyelids, and Mark has blue eyelids so he gets blue horns (green goes better with blue than it does with red too so it looks better too) And I think he would have short horns cuz Billy would cut em off when they first started 2 grow, which would stunt their growth! :3

And here's my thoughts on the angst it could possibly create, which I'm too lazy 2 type out again xd

[twomp-thoughts]

Billy Hendricks Character analysis

[DISCLAIMER: I am not justifying or condoning his actions, I am merely showing that he is not just a mindless villain and I'm exploring the depth of his character. This is probably obvious but yeah please don't come after me for this]

Billy Hendricks, kidnapper of Mark. He's a terrifying villain who has so redeeming qualities. Let's dissect that fucker cuz he's got a LOT of layers and depth.

First, let's see some context.

Billy Hendricks was a child actor, starring in 'my dear monster'. He was groomed and made into luring children into Big monster's sewers where Big monster kill them. When Big monster was caught, Billy's mom got him out of the show, saying she doesn't think a life in the spotlight is for her son. In that newspaper poster, Billy Hendricks is seen to be crying. In the poster above, Billy is smiling. Showing how he views Big monster as an inspiration and loves acting. Keep in mind that he was just a child when this all happened, he was supposed to become famous. This was supposed to be the film that make him really get famous in the film industry. He was about to get everything he ever wanted, but than in a flash, everything was taken away from him. He was taken away from what he loved most, acting. Now imagine how this would make him feel. Billy was a kid when this happened and he was an adult when he kidnapped Mark, this suggests that his hatred for Big monster (who's the reason he can't act anymore) has been burning for many years. He is still hung up on his dream, a dream that was shattered long ago and would never be possible to achieve again. This suggests that he cannot move on from the past. (Plus he's a theatre kid and theatre kids are dramatic as hell. Trust me I'd know, I'm a theatre kid too)

The way he act and treat Mark

I think it's obvious that Billy hates Mark, his hatred for Big monster transferring to Mark just because he's Big monster's nephew. His hatred for Mark just grows more and more episode, this can be seen because in the earliest episodes, he refer to Mark as his "best friend". For example, in the first episode he starts off with, "Hello kids! And welcome back, meet my best friend, Mark!" But he stops doing that in later episodes, just referring to Mark as his "friend" instead of "best friend". This subtle change hints that Hendricks is getting more and more impatient with Mark. He also constantly silence Mark for small reasons, in the first episode he just shook his head when he didn't want Mark to say that he want to see his parents, but in later episodes he go as far as to shutting up Mark by putting his hand on his mouth. He doesn't just normally do that too, in the picture below you can see that his grip on Mark is strong. That must hurt Mark. He probably does that on purpose as he resents Mark and is very impatient and hateful towards him.

Billy Hendricks feel as though he is achieving his childhood dreams by doing all this. This may be true because of the way he act. In the rain day episode, when they do those activities such as building a pillow fort, Hendricks actually look genuinely excited for it. He could just be good at pretending to be excited for camera, but it actually felt real. Him acting childish like this reinforces the idea that he is living in the past and hasn't move on from it. Even though he's not a kid anymore, he never grew up. This is also furthur proven because of the fact that he has a "signature outfit" and wears the same set of clothes since he was a child, showing how he never grew out of his childhood. Anyways so, in that episode they do three activities. Building pillow forts, making paper cut pictures, and playing hangman. In the first activity, he looks genuinely happy when Mark says he like the pillow fort that Billy made for him. He could just be acting to be happy, but I don't think that's the case. Because in the other two activities where it starts having a twist of him taunting Mark, he did look "happy" but not as geniune as he did in the pillow fort activity. The comparison can be seen in the pictures below. It's subtle but you can see it, the smile on the right picture looks fake. This implies that he sometimes forget that this isn't what he wanted, and has to remind himself that he isn't just doing this to make himself happy but to also torture Mark and get revenge.

His attitude switches up very fast. Most of the times he talk in a singing-ish tone, mimicking kids shows where they do that. But when he's angry, like for example when Mark tried to escape, his voice becomes firm and serious. This shows how he struggles to stay "in character" sometimes, because his hatred runs so deep that it can be hard to pretend to be this cheerful kids show host. When his voice is firm and he calls out for Mark, he usually emphasises on the 'k' sound of his name. This creates a plosive sound, illustrating that he is being rough in the moment.

Billy Hendricks is dedicated to make Mark suffer. Besides the very obvious tortures that he make Mark go through, he torment him in other more subtle ways too. Here are some examples where he does that.

In the Staying healthy episode, they look at the anatomy of a Little Monster. When Billy said that "It's important to stay healthy so your brain continues to think!", Mark continues the advice by saying, "and your heart continues to love!". But then Billy corrects him, saying, "Pump blood, Mark!". This illustrates Billy as shattering Mark's innocent view of life, contrasting how his childhood dream got shattered too (even though this is a less extreme extent of it)

In the Pet episode, Mark says that he knows alot about pets and suggest that maybe he could lead that episode. But Hendricks shut him off by saying, "I know alot about pets too, Mark". You can sense the anger in his voice when he says that line, suggesting that he gets mad when someone else gets the attention and not him. This ties in his whole character of him getting so much attention from his classmates because he was a child actor and people loved him, but then he got thrown off the spotlight later because of Big monster. His mother's line, "I just don't think a life in the spotlight is for my son" suggests that he doesn't get attention anymore. (Plus he's a theatre kid and theatre kids are attention seekers- yeah okay I'll stop bullying theatre kids now). This idea is further reinforced in the positivity episode, when Mark says that he made a sticky note saying "Yes you can!", Billy tries to get the attention back on him by saying "I wrote some sticky notes too Mark!". This shows how he wants the attention and spotlight on him, and gets mad when Mark tries to get attention too.

Billy Hendricks doesn't just torture and torment Mark himself, he forces Mark to do things he doesn't want to too. For example, in the cooking episode he pressures Mark into killing the paperbag monster, "Are you gonna skin it Mark? Or do I have to do it?", he says the second sentence with a hint of anger in his voice, implying that Mark will probably get tortured if he doesn't do what he ask him to do.

Billy even goes as far as to hurting himself to hurt Mark. Like in the episode where they go to sleep, he brushes his teeth until they're bleeding. He hurt himself just to scare Mark. This portrays him as someone who's dedicated to taunt Mark, and would do it at his own expense.

He also seeks to control Mark, like in the drug episode he says that he'll give drugs to Mark if he's good and go along. This may be because he was forced out of the film industry and it was all out of his control, so he wants control back.

Recurring themes

There's a lot of scenes where Billy Hendricks monologues. All of those monologues portray a pessimistic and negative view of life. He constantly puts a negative spin on things that Mark enjoy too. Some examples are in the Halloween episode where he put razorblades in Mark's candy and ask if it's still his favourite holiday, in the pet episode where he carelessly gave Mark a pet that he wanted who died of neglect, and the biggest example is the career day episode where he puts a negative spin to the jobs that Mark said he wanted to do. This links to how he was going to be a famous actor, but it didn't work out.

Billy Hendricks is presented to have a weird obsession with death and wasting your life. This can be seen especially in the career day episode, where he monologues, "There's only 2169 days until you have to choose a job and it creeps up on you fast. 60 years will pass and before you know it you'll be lying in your death bed wishing you had picked a different career to waste your life on". This may suggest that during the time between after he quit being a child actor and before he kidnapped Mark, he had 'wasted' the years by doing a job that he didn't enjoy. He believes that he would have been happy if he was an actor, but now he couldn't be one. This may be one of the reasons why he is portrayed to be very pessimistic.

His obsession with death is further explored in the kids episode where he says that a child is your peak because "you get showered with adoration and have lots of fun". He wants to be a child again because now he's miserable as an adult, but instead of trying to improve his adult life and moving on from the past, he took away another child's childhood. In that episode, he also taunts Mark by saying that in the adult world, life goes by very fast and that before he know it, he's gonna be too old to work and die. There are many more instances where he monologues about this, but these are the main ones.

There's also a recurring theme of toxic positivity. This is obviously shown in the last episode, the positivity episode. Where his 'inspirational' sticky notes say that everything is okay, while it's not. This is further shown in the posters where he says that you can do dangerous things because "everything works out".

The theme of toxic positivity is also seen in other episodes, like for example in the feelings episode where Billy asks Mark if the pictures are happy or sad. When Mark said that the picture of a dead penguin is sad, Billy says "No silly, all these images are happy". This may be because he was forced out of his dream yet he had to pretend to be okay with it at that time.

People who influence him

There were two people who were a major influence on him. His mom, and Big monster.

Let's talk about his mom first. She just wanted what was best for him, and she got him out of the film industry because she thought it was best for him. She was just looking out for her son, but she didn't realise the negative consequences that her actions would bring. Billy was just a kid and didn't fully understand why his mom would do that, she probably could have explained it to him better. But even if she did, Billy most likely would have just turn out this way anyways because his ambition was too strong. But still, if she did explain it maybe he could have turned out differently. Maybe he wouldn't have this much resentment in him.

Now let's talk about Big monster. He tricked Billy into luring his friend's brother, Johnny Hackett, into the sewers so he can kill him. He was Billy Hendricks' idol, Billy probably saw him in a rose-tinted light and never saw anything bad about him as he idolised him too much. But then he turned out to be a murderer who used Billy to get his victims. This may turn Billy into a pessimistic person, linking back to my point earlier, and would make Billy just expect the worst of everything. He's the main reason why Billy Hendricks became a kidnapper.

Ashur's acting skills

Ah yes, the very necessary ramble about how cool Ashur is. Skip this part if u wanna, I added this solely for myself <3

ASHUR IS SOOOOO GOOD AT ACTING LIKE WTF??? HE SLAYS THE ICONIC BILLYS THREATENING SMILE FACE LIKE HOLY SHITTT THAT MAN IS TERRIFYING!! HE EVEN SOMETIMES SCARE ME GENIUNELY LIKE HOLY FUCKING SHIT HES AMAZING. BILLYS VOOCE RANGE IS JUST SO PERFECT TOO AND NOT 2 MENTION THATS LIKE HIS FIRST TIME ACTING USING VOICE?? (HIS PREVIOUS ACTING SERIES ARE JUST TIKTOK POVS WHERE HE DOESNT TALK) HES LITERALLY SO COOL BRO HES LIKE MY NUMBER ONE INSPIRATION FOR ACTING!!! LIKE THIS MAN LOOKS ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND I LOVE IT!!

The cycle of abuse

The backstory of Billy Hendricks is very tragic. He was an abused child who turned into an abuser. It is important to recognise him as a human too and not just a cruel villain, this does not mean justifying his actions. I firmly believe that dehumanising villains is a bad thing to do, because if you so that you will separate yourself from them and won't recognise it when you're being an accidental asshole. So while I hate him for everything he has done to Mark, I still think we should also see him as a hurt person who continued the cycle of abuse. Let's just hope Mark doesn't do the same thing.

End notes

Ahhhhh I've been planning 2 make this post for so long now! And even though this post is like, VERY long, I still feel like I've only barely scratch the surface of his character. He's a very interesting and complex character n should be treated as such. Also, this is just the way I see him, you are allowed 2 disagree with me ofc! You can have a different opinion on him than me, and you can express it, but please just don't be rude about it! If you'd like 2 discuss his character further or is confused abt smth I said here, feel free 2 ask me abt it! I'm more than happy 2 do it (if you're nice with it ofc) :3

Anyways yeah I hope u enjoyed this character analysis of him, and please reblog if u did (no pressure) cuz it took me such a long time 2 make this TwT
