Was Bill always your favorite or is it because you had to dig deep into his character for your fic
If he wasn't my favorite I wouldn't have started a fic about him lmao.
When I watched GF back when it was airing... honestly, first watch through I was more interested in the story that in the characters, but I think Bill did still end up my fave just because I looked at the rest of the cast and went "sure, they're humans" but I looked at Bill and went "oh boy! Villainous demon-spirit-thing that invades dreams and operates on fae rules!" because I will always latch on to any demon/alien/robot/monster before any of the human characters.
But that was a 20% interest in Bill vs a 10% interest in the humans of the cast. He had stiff competition from the Summerween Trickster and Giffany.
So he's always been in first place? But, like... today I like Bill more than the rest of the cast, but also, I like Mabel, Ford, Stan, Gideon, Soos, Mr. What's-His-Face, and Amorphous Shape in 2024 more than I liked Bill in 2015; and on top of them I've also now put much more thought and character development into Dipper, Wendy, Pacifica, Fiddleford, Robbie, Priscilla, Mrs. Gleeful, Bud, Lazy Susan, 8-Ball, Kryptos, Tad, Ghost-Eyes, Abuelita, Manly Dan, Agent Powers, and possibly even Melody, Tyler, Mrs. Corduroy, the Category 6 Phantoms of Pain, and the Trickster than I put into Bill in 2015.
So yeah he's always been first, but the bar was really low on my first watch through when I didn't connect much with the characters.
You can thank Ford for the fact that Bill's still my fave. If it weren't for The Last Mabelcorn I probably woulda never thought about him again. Wacky charismatic villains are a dime a dozen, but a wacky charismatic villain with a friends-to-enemies secret history with a mad scientist who might have worshiped him is juicy.

Before I send in questions hehe, could you tell your followers and I a bit about Lucky?
Finally getting to this, lmao
(Warning, mentions of stripping)
Lucky (Betty) Jane Ramone was born to a very poor and broken home. Her mother ran off with a man when she was five, her father was constantly out partying, leaving her hungry and alone, and she had to get jobs to help support them while going to school because her father was a deadbeat.
The moment she turned eighteen she was kicked out into the streets, and had to stay there before getting her own shitty apartment.
She worked hard with multiple jobs, and soon turned to stripping and streets to help pay the bills, where she earned the name Lucky, her mindset changing. She was constantly treated like scum by those with more money all because she couldn't afford what they could, despite working just as hard... And with that she decided to instead take advantage of the rich.
Escort a fancy gentleman at a big party, mainly go after rich looking clients, etc.
And then one night her entire world changed.
Lucky was an escort at a party to some techy guy, not knowing that one of the people at the party had happened to steal the leprechaun's precious gold.
A massacre ensued and Lucky stayed hidden, trying to find a way out of this hell hole to escape with her life- until she happened to hear a conversation.
The leprechaun, Lubdan, and a woman arguing about her becoming his bride. It was his birthday, the woman seemed to have tricked him, and he was angry.
The leprechaun talked on and on about how he'd wanted to share his fortune for her and their future children in their home.
Lucky hesitated for a second. This creature was a killer, crude, and yet... Had a lot of money. Would it be worth it? Hell, anything would be out of her roach infested apartment, and she could play housewife for that coin-
"AY YOU NEED A BRIDE?"
Lucky convinced Lubdan (who was very shocked) to ditch the bitch and take her as his wife. She did the sneezes, and became his.
They married, and Lucky moved into his tree-cave.... And Lubdan transformed her into a Leprechaun like himself. One, so the children would have faces they'd recognize, and two so that she could properly bear their many children without hurting her human body.
Lucky at first was shocked and a bit horrified, but she knew this was what she signed up for, and took it in stride, thinking of how she would make this work... And with that, their wedding night was consummated.
The new leprechaun didn't become pregnant for a while, but during that waiting time, she got cute clothes and jewelry, plenty of food, and a spacious home. Lubdan was a chill host, and he had respect for her for joining him. What more to ask for?
He also took her out on some "dates" out in the outside world, and honestly, he made it fun. Doing what she always wanted to do to assholes, getting the things he wanted with ease, getting her something he'd heard her talk about with the snap of the fingers, going out drinking and letting out their thoughts to each other and their pasts. Getting to know each other better and... Falling in love.
It was on one of these sweet date nights that Lucky finally became pregnant. Their first batch would be small, just triplets. But the number would rise for their future litters. Lucky even found herself... Excited. Even if it was gonna be for thirteen months.
And even with Lucky's terror for it, Lubdan helped it by telling her all he knew, helping her with her sickness and cravings, never leaving her side unless it was to get something she needed. That just caused them to fall even more.
The pregnancy made them closer and closer and by the time the babies were born, their mommy and daddy were sharing "I love you"s and being a loving, married couple.
The two renewed their vows in a more "wedding " way, and raise their children happily, blood spilling along the way.

danny phantom season 2, eps 1-5 thoughts! opening the new season with episodes like these kinda blew me away. we had multiple serious episodes INCLUDING a two parter!! also, valerie :)
see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3
-I don't know what I expected s2 to open with. but danny portal incident in more detail was not it. (also, I hate to break it to you, sam, but danny's parent's bigass ghost hunting rv def chugs more gas than those vehicles, lmao. unless it runs on ectoplasm or something...)
-WHY WAS DESIREE IN THE SEWER? HAVING TEA WITH IT DOWN THERE?? Her making the giant cow come alive is a boss move, we've almost had all of my fav animals as ghosts now <3 I also don't like how sam was expecting danny to just, haunt the place so the cars wouldn't get sold? I KNOWWW I know she's 14 (and I had a very annoying phase like this, I think I mentioned in a previous post, I GET IT) but they're HIS powers, and messing with (1) dealership will not really put a dent in sales overall because they can just move the cars to another sales lot, and it certainly wont change the industry anyway, it's more of a minor annoyance for (1) location. Also, usually people who work at car sales places work on commission, so if they dont make a sale, they don't have money to pay bills, or eat. sam baby if u wanna be an activist you need to like, actually look into these things. with as much money as her parents have, she could be doing a lot..more useful things for causes she cares about? it's frustrating to see someone with resources who doesn't know how to use them. but shes 14 so again. cannot be really upset :/
Tumblr media
-IS THIS A PREDATOR VS TERMINATOR VS FREDDY KRUEGER MOVIE BUT THEYRE ALL WOMEN?? you know, sam is so right to be excited about this. /I/ want to see this movie. that rules
-paulina inviting danny and friends to her quinceañera, aw! even if it is just to get phantom to show up :') and there'll be a meteor shower, and we KNOW danny wants to be an astronaut!! there's not a meteor shower every night!! the tickets are non-refundable, but..she's rich? like. gotta agree with danny, they never get invited!! I KNOW it's the principle of keeping promises, but if she was that upset, she should've said something. directly. I hated how she was like, passive aggressive about it through the episode, like you SAID IT WAS FINE, THAT YOU'D GO TO THE PARTY TOO. MOVIES SHOW FOR A FEW WEEKS IN THEATERS. IF YOU HAD A REAL PROBLEM YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT. WE'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, SAM. YOUR FRIENDS. ARE NOT. MIND READERS.
-MR. LANCER GOING AFTER THE GHOST WITH THE FIRE EXTINGISHER LMAO
Tumblr media
-this outfit is everything . anytime the show does an over the top cutesty pink outfit i WANT IT. it looks like shit I wear JKASDHF I HAVE a bow like that and a pink sweater. I need leg warmers </3
-SAMS GOTTA RE-HALF-KILL HIM??? thats fucked up. but also, he finally got his logo!! it took until s2!!! this episode was lowkey very fucked and I felt like it glossed over a lot. does sam have guilt about like. kinda KILLING HIM?? I know, he also agreed and walked into the portal. but. she made the choice to redo it SO quickly (even if it was because someone had to beat desiree) and danny, during their fight, brought up a lot of stuff sam's done in the past, meaning he was holding onto those memories and resentment was building. (I KEEP SAYING HE LOWKEY NEEDS THERAPY, BUT I THINK MOST EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW KINDA DOES) which...is a red flag? and then they didnt even GO to the party URGH I know she tried to make up for it, but it really felt like Sam fucked up and barely faced any consequences and got everything she wanted in the end. I KNOW it's a kids show obv they aren't going to go too in depth, and she undid the damage, kinda, but...I DUNNO how to articulate it but it rubbed me the wrong way.
-but on a note about desiree, her powers of wishes were STRONG ENOUGH TO ERASE NOT JUST THEIR MEMORIES, BUT DANNY'S POWERS?! fuck, if I was danny I'd be like, trying to make friends with her. I know they always have horrible side effects as most genie-granted wishes do, but...c'mon, I'd at least TRY to be like 'I wish no ghosts would hurt anyone in my town' or 'I wish vlad would lose his ghost powers forever no matter What and also forget about my mom' LIKE. SHIT DESIREE IS SO POWERFUL. rewriting reality powerful, basically!! appreciate her. respect her.
-aww, sam helping tucker pass the nurse's office so he wouldn't see because he's afraid of medical stuff? very sweet. I also don't like medical stuff, I've gotten a lot better at handling it tho. but seeing blood and needles still makes me feel lightheaded x_x
-FOLEY, BY TUCKER FOLEY. I want to make my own perfume, that's so cool. even if his first attempt isn't good, he's pretty consistently shown to have an inventor/entrepreneur streak in the show, so like. I can see him inventing or making something (or several somethings) that make him $$$ when he grows up :) proud of my creative son
-I know the 'creepy abandoned hospital on the edge of town' is a joke and the creepy hospital trope is so Worn Out, but in my town we actually DO have a hospital like that! my dad was born in it, but its not in use and hasn't been for, like, 20 years! it needs to be torn down but I think the city doesn't wanna pay the money. the inside is horrible, spray painted and broken glass and shit everywhere. but there's still like, rusty equipment and fucking DOLLS all over the place. the cops drive by it pretty frequently to make sure no one is like, breaking in. (because of water damage, some of the areas really aren't safe. also, asbestos, but people still go in anyway) but also, some of my town was used in a filming for a stephen king show. So it's lowkey spooky all over. just a fun personal tidbit :) to lead into saying, any hospital abandoned for any period of time is NOT safe to quarantine these kids in JKSAHDKF like I KNOW it's a ghost trying to do this, but NONE of these parents are even like, 'well, why dont we keep them in the regular, working hospital'....YIKES. this hospital looks pretty accurate to the one in town. grungy and spooky.
-fentons are tax evaders confirmed by jack's fear of being audited, lol no one is surprised
-ghost sickness via ghost bugs. horrifying concept. I actually expected it to be a new villain, not dr. spectra again! this is a very elaborate scheme. her new form rules, love the new costume. the way none of the bg kids seem to recognize her as their old school councilor. did we just forget about that completely?
-dash watching romance movies in the fucked up ghost hospital. same.
-'oh please, you're ghosts, do you have any idea what YOU smell like?' no, tucker, what DO ghosts smell like? I genuinely didn't know they would even have a smell, I actually want to know now.
-it feels like a while since we've seen jazz!! i was happy to see her again, even if she was a head in a jar for most the episode. I want another jazz-focused ep!!
-we finally see danny doing space-related stuff!! him and his friends stargazing to open ep 3 of s2. cute :) until, GHOST PIRATES!!!!! ...ghost pirate captain is a small child?? VOICED BY TAYLOR LAUTNER???
-oh, the easy listening is ember's song instrumental slowed. 'vapor drone' THEY VAPORWAVED HER!!! ember in a pirate outfit tho >>>>. and the cruise being called m.bersback JKASDHJK. ember adopting a little pirate brother is also pretty cute. concerning this teen and little kid have such bad opinions of adults, like, who hurt you?? (how did you DIE ALSO?? im always lowkey curious about that. we know desiree died at an old age, but her ghost form is young, probably mid-20s, so I wonder how that sort of thing works...its a more mental thing, isn't it?) but ghost team-ups are always cool to see, even if ember bailed after danny took her guitar. I guess she probably thinks youngblood can handle it (which, he's been owning danny this far in the ep, so...fair)
-tucker got that sponsorship from nasty burger for their radio!!! again, opportunistic money maker king, love to see it!!!
-danny taking control of the kids SO FAST. he makes a pretty great leader. no one is surprised, im pretty sure I said I think he's the most mature of the trio, once again, correct, because he's taken on so much responsibility already. all the teens suiting up in the jumpsuits to go save the adults and taking the ship over with a BLIMP. OKAY LETS GO. this feels like it should be a mid finale or straight up finale.
-...speaking of finales. why is ep 4-5 of s2 combined into a 50 minute episode? I havent even clicked play and im concerned. weird placement, like, this season JUST started and we're getting a two parter? okay...why are the episodes placed like this? why not put this at episode 10 or something, for a mid-season thing?
Tumblr media
-this is also a cute dress. possibly my fav dress so far. can her parents give ME cute dresses, I'LL wear them.
-it turns out the castle fright knight was in is called pariah's keep and there's something worse than fright knight in there! lovely! fuck off vlad wtf are you doing <3 your hubris <3 is going to literally get you killed <3 'ring of rage' and 'crown of fire' are great names tho. ...vlad turning into a super polite guy when he was scared of mr. pariah was hilarious. and fright knight doing the same...I mean, it makes sense, he's a knight, he serves a king? happy to see fright knight again either way :) vlad telling him to call him tho, lmfao. you WISH HE WOULD. (I wish hed call me, too. 😔)
-so...jack being genuinely concerned about vlad...maddie really didn't tell him what happened at the cabin, did she. damn. if I was her id immediately come home and be like 'YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS SHITTTT THIS CREEPY GUY--' like, I feel like that stuff you need to tell your partner!!! I know she didnt want Jack to think she was an irresponsible parent putting danny in danger at that time, but STILLLL. maddie spilling boiling tea on him. get his ass. how is jack this oblivious to his wife's discomfort with vlad!! ughhh
-fenton wipe (tm). trademarked toilet paper.
-DANNY AND VALERIE BEING FRIENDS??? :D that was a cute moment. 'hey val <3' and 'if you like him like him, make a move, or someone else will ;)' at sam...damn!! I love her. valerie go for it girl!!! I hate how sam and tucker treat val also, like I GET IT YOURE PROTECTIVE AND DONT TRUST but if anything him befriending valerie will help when she finds out or he tells her like I feel like she'll be more understanding that they think! ALSO I feel like her reason for not liking ghosts is valid, like you haven't really explained the full story to her anyway! she doesn't seem to have any other friends after being booted from the a-listers so im like :( but seeing them kick butt together again was nice <3
-the ghosts all RUNNING FROM PARIAH DARK IS NOT GOOD, I thought he sent them to attack or something, but no. why doesn't someone just tell desiree 'hey i wish pariah dark would die' lol. once again I think she can solve every problem <3 but seeing all the enemies in one place, being civil and hiding together? love it.
-you just know danny's gonna have to clean up vlad's stupid mess. also, jack being willing to put on the ectoskeleton pants to help maddie, as soon as vlad heard it could kill him, he suggested jack do it instead of helping maddie himself? this is why jack got the girl, my man.
-ghost skeletons. how do you end up as a skeleton ghost in your afterlife instead of a humanoid like most the ones we've seen? lmao
-the ghosts just making new homes in various stores. I'd totally be setting up in an expensive clothing store if I was a ghost.
-valerie's dad is possibly the most useful adult so far, with that ghost shield expansion!!! and valerie saving vlad and danny, even tho shes been thru it already, shes still so good!!! this family rules.
Tumblr media
-danny: *gently caresses valerie* :)
-*then he immediately TELLS HER DAD ON HER. and his first response is 'are you okay?' :'( such a good dad...
-*me every time fright knight breathes* youre doing SO great sweetie :)
-the fenton suit thing is so silly looking. does anyone take this thing seriously
-ALL THE GHOSTS FIGHTING WITH DANNY <3 AAAAA. and the fact that pariah isn't perma-defeated, but just locked away again. yikes. he'll probably get out again, won't he? it wasn't too clear, but if vlad DID make a pact with fright knight, I am rabid. I will beat vlad to death with the fenton bat (tm). YOU DONT DESERVE A COOL KNIGHT.
-valerie being direct with sam and challenging her? kinda love that, even tho I normally don't like 'catfight' type situations. because sam has been very passive aggressive about it which is annoying. valerie knows wtf she wants and wasn't even embarrassed to tell sam, but she did tell her, giving sam time to make her own move! and sam denied it and got embarrassed/mad! and sam did have a chance when danny was about to go off and fight, and she hesitated and didn't tell him. I feel like she's hesitating because they're friends and it might make it weird between the trio (poor tucker would be third-wheeling) but if u snooze u lose, u gotta GO after what u WANT girl. smh this is a No Tsundere Zone. 😤

"What are you doing here?" for the brio prompt meme thing pls
My prompt is anything that makes it obvious Dean is the third wheel and that he's incompetent and insufficient lmao
"Mind if I cut in?"
Rio's gaze is on Elizabeth when he says it, but he can still feel the incredulity radiating off of that jackass she married. It would be entertaining if Rio hadn't given up a weekend with Marcus to fly all the way out to Chicago for this damn conference, if he didn't feel the need to come check in on his business partner just to make sure she didn't do something stupid.
If she didn't keep giving him reasons not to trust her.
Still, there's a part of him—somewhere deep inside he doesn't want to acknowledge—that's pleased by the way she immediately gives him her full attention, the way the shock of seeing him standing there melts into anger, melts into resignation, melts into curiosity, melts into something more.  
Her husband is getting ready to open his mouth, to make a big ol' scene probably, but she blinks back over at him, fixing him with those wide Bambi eyes, playing up the innocent housewife role she's so good at, that whole fragile white lady victim complex her husband keeps buying into, even though he's gotta know by now she's doing this cause she wants to be doing this.  
"Dean," she warns.
And it's interesting the way she makes it sound like she's reminding him that Rio's dangerous, when really she's just afraid Dean's going to embarrass her. He's like a damn toddler being handed a lollipop just to stave off a tantrum. And it's something Rio still can't figure out because him and Elizabeth? They don't need the guy for any of this—his name’s not even on the paperwork. And Elizabeth doesn't love him—shit, she doesn't even respect him—but she won't leave him. It must be exhausting–paying the bills, taking care of the kids, running a house, and still she has to do all that pretending for someone who's supposed to be her partner.
Rio doesn't feel sympathy for her, not anymore, but if he did, it might be for that. For the loneliness she's clinging to just to placate whatever part of her can't let go of that perfect life she envisioned for herself. Sometimes he wants to crawl into her brain, pick it apart piece by piece just to find whatever memory—whatever feeling—it is she's clinging to so desperately that's got her stuck in this limbo between normalcy and potential.
But. Well, whatever motivates her's not important to him, not as long as she holds up her end of their arrangement.
So he just keeps giving her that camouflage smile for anybody watching, knowing she's smart enough to recognize there's poison dripping from his teeth.
"It's just a dance, Dean," Elizabeth says with a sigh, taking a step back from him. "Just... order some drinks and I'll meet you at the bar."
Dean doesn't let go of her hand, doesn't do anything but stand there open-mouthed and slack-jawed, eyes moving slowly between her and Rio, and Rio's patience is wearing thin.
"Bourbon, on the rocks," he instructs, eyes still on Elizabeth.
Her husband splutters, says, "Yeah, right, I'm not ordering a drink for you."
And Rio can see how much restraint it takes Elizabeth not to react, can see the pink start to slowly creep into her cheeks, and he wonders if it's from embarrassment or shame, if it’s from being married to a man that misses the implication altogether or just from being married to someone that never learned her drink, never learned her at all.
Whatever it is, she swallows it down, sends one last pleading look to her useless husband and the relief on her face when he finally backs away, when he starts to make his way over to the bar should feel like a victory but it pinches at something in Rio, stings in a way he can’t put his finger on.
He ignores it, slipping into the empty space in front of her, and snakes one arm around her waist, hand settling against the small of her back, holds up the other for her to take, and she does, gingerly placing her much smaller, much softer hand in his. Her skin looks extra pale in the dim lighting of the ballroom, stands starker against the backdrop of the black and dark fabrics adorning the people moving all around them. He trails his gaze along the line of her exposed skin, from the tips of her fingers resting in his palm, past the elegant twist of her wrist, up to the soft curve of her arm where it disappears beneath a deep shade of green, one he's never seen her in before. It looks good on her, even if the style is meant to downplay what she's really working with, meant to hide her away.
"What are you doing here?" she asks, body tensing when he pulls her with him as his feet begin the familiar box step of the waltz he learned when he was in the ninth grade.
"It's the Eighteenth Annual Conference for Midwest Spa Retailers and I'm a midwest spa retailer," he deadpans, casually drifting to a section of the dance floor more obscured from the bar, just to really get her husband all worked up, get him straining his neck to see what's happening.
"Funny," she says, like she thinks it's anything but. "I didn't see you once all day, you know, during the actual conference part, but of course, now that there's a chance to have a pissing contest, here you are."
Her grip on his shoulder is tight, like she thinks she's the one leading, but the rest of her body is starting to relax, going easily where he guides her.
"Why don't we just find a ruler and get this over with already," she chides, flippant as hell, provoking that part of him that can't leave it alone, that has to push back.
"Oh baby, you think I'm worried about size?" he asks, planting his feet so that her body collides with his, then holds her tight against the length of him, tilting his head to murmur into her ear. "Size don't mean nothing if you don't know how to use it. That a contest you really wanna have tonight, darlin’?"
Her throat bobs but she doesn't answer, doesn't try to move away either. He wants to lean back, wants to see the look on her face, see how hard she's trying to hide the truth. Instead he presses in closer, angles his hips just enough to make his point, and brushes his lips over the shell of her ear. "You remember how I felt inside you, yeah? How wet you got just on my fingers? You were begging me for more."
The hitch of her breath tugs at his core, has heat pooling low in his stomach, and he should just leave it at that, but she shifts against him, just a little, like she wants to grind down on his thigh, like she needs the friction, and fuck, he wants her to. Wants her to need it so bad she can't control herself, not even here in front of all these people.
In front of her husband.
"You still think about it?" he asks, bending his knee to let his thigh press into her, just enough for her to feel it, for her to want more. "'Bout how good I filled you up?"
"Yes," she whispers, voice barely audible over the din around them. He wasn't expecting it, goes straight to his cock and he knows she felt it—the twitch against her hip—by the way her voice comes out stronger when she asks, "Do you?"
And he knows they're not teenagers, knows they’re way too old to be doing this, but fuck he wants it, any way he can get it, even if it's just for a few more seconds. He hums, nodding his head where it's bowed down and ignores the way her hair catches in the stubble on his jaw.
"Think about the sounds you made," he admits, voice low, swaying their bodies just barely, feet not moving at all."'Bout how good you tasted."
"Yes," she breathes, an answer to a question he didn't ask, and he has to close his eyes.
"Think 'bout how good you looked when you were coming."
And shit, he means it. Never seen anything so perfect as the look on her face when that pleasure exploded through her body. Like a fucking religious experience, watching that release, the way her back arched and her body froze, how she floated there, suspended in time. If he hadn't know any better he'd have thought it was the rapture. Even now, just the memory of it is enough to make him want to get down on his knees.
It's dangerous, this power she has over him.
"Wanna make you come again," he confesses, relishing the way her whole body shudders against his, and that's the thing. He hasn't even touched her, not really, but just the suggestion's got her trembling, panties soaked, knees shaking and shit. Hell, even he's hard enough it's gonna be an awkward ass walk back up to his room but this kind of thing doesn't just happen. She might be married to someone else but for all of her sanctimonious bullshit, she's still right here in the dirt with Rio.
He gives himself one... two... three... seconds to revel in the moment. Then he opens his eyes.
"See, darlin’," he says, sliding his hand off her back. "It don't matter who's bigger. Ain't room for nobody inside you but me anyway."
He drops her hand, and takes a step back. There's a flush in her cheeks and a glint in her eye. She looks alive in a way he hasn't seen in a very long time, and it sends a thrill through him, the idea that maybe he's not the only one who's risen from the dead.
She's still standing there, arms hanging at her sides, when he slips into the crowd, and he wonders how long it'll take her to realize the keycard in her hand isn't for her room. Wonder if it’ll make a difference when she does.
