Hey girlies update time… I’ve been sent to a clinic for my weight and it’s been really stressful and my life is kinda falling apart lol there’s defiantly good aspects to it but ughhh I’m like :( bc my diets had to change so much and I feel so unproductive now and I’m really scared about gaining weight but they’d said I’d like die or whatever if I didn’t which um. I genuinely feel so disgusting heavy and sick and disgusting and DISGUSTIGN eww and my disordered eating brain is coming back in full force after silently controlling me for like nearly years at this point and it’s all so much. the hardest thing about this is that I don’t want to gain weight at all and particularly I don’t really even care to live anymore. I’m scared everyday I’ll fall deeper and deeper back into disordered eating I’ll get lonelier and lonelier I’ll get fatter and fatter I’ll lose everything I’ve ever built for myself… ugh this is a mess but ong.

I find it really funny when I see antis saying shit like “oh, billy’s apologists wouldn’t even look at him if he was not hot” (which is usually a main argument as to why people can even like this character in the first place), as if people who like Billy actively excused his actions because Billy is a ‘hot piece of ass’. There are more than few holes in that logic (or there lack of).
First of, I rarely see anyone who says that what Billy did (mostly during season 2, I would never blame Billy for anything that happened in season 3) was in any shape or form excusable. It was not. He was an asshole and he was aggressive and violent, and him attacking the kids and Steve is not excused by the fact that he was also very clearly abused. But you can (and in fact you should when dealing with complex fictional characters) acknowledge the full spectrum of human behaviour, and draw your own conclusions as to why he was acting like this in the first place. You really don’t need to know much about psychology to be able to comprehend how growing up in abusive household can impact how you react to things, how it could twist the person into someone angry and unpredictable and controlling. It’s really a cycle of abuse - Billy feels cornered by his father (is being abused and called names by his father, might I add), so he turns that same behaviour to someone weaker, like Max, as he can actually have some control while dealing with her. It’s not an excuse, but it sure as hell is an explanation.
Second of all, claiming that people like (and defend) Billy only because he is attractive, is a good example of one-track, shallow mindset, that I feel like has more to do with antis lack of critical thinking, than anything else really. It shouldn’t be that difficult to comprehend, but apparently it is, so let me make that very, very clear. Liking Billy doesn’t mean that we are actually racist (or condoning racism). Liking Billy doesn’t mean that we excuse his abusive and shitty behaviour, and making it okay because we feel bad for him (not to mention making him some blameless hero after he died). Liking Billy doesn’t amount to seeing him as just an object of attraction, because being attractive is really not enough to make people that defensive over him.
Liking Billy is actually comprehending the complexity and potential of his character, acknowledging both his abusive behaviour but also taking under consideration the abuse that he experienced. Most of all, liking him is knowing that he deserved the time and a chance to do better, to change and to maybe grow from that. He was barely 18, and saying that he very well deserved to die the way he did is actually fucking awful. It lacks some sort of fundamental ability to empathise, even with people who you might not fully like. It’s making him an abuse victim who deserved to die because he didn’t behave in socially acceptable way in which some other antagonists do. It didn’t make him redeemable enough. That’s bullshit, and maybe if some antis managed to rub together two lonely braincells vacating their skulls, and pushed for some actual critical thinking, maybe then it would become a bit clearer as to why so many people like Billy’s character. Just, fucking, do better, because even though we are dealing with fictional characters here, it is actually rather worrying how much similar mindset could translate, in some cases, to real life behaviour.

wow. i was so insane for the chryzure l&c universe where azure’s possessed by his father. let me add to that: he has permanent internal scarring from having a ghost inside of him for almost two years and also he can never quite get warm (chryzurejacks curling up together so azure can try and get warm…) and he’s always kissing chrysi’s wrists where mordecai nearly broke her bones, because he feels so horrible he couldn’t stop it. he’s so scared of sleeping. he always needs to be near chrysi. he’s a man traumatized by what he went through and he knows he will never quite return to normal.. it’s okay. even george is being nice to him for once. showing up w homemade food and pastries and such, to warm azure up. :((
