Byler this, byler that. I'm sorry, Will is clearly aroace. The song dnd+asexuality is literally him. Throughout season 3, he couldn't understand why girlfriends were suddenly so important to his friends and why they'd more or less started ignoring their literal childhood friendships in the favour of their newfound romantic relationships. Poor guy just wants his friends back and wants to play dnd with them like the old times because two entire seasons went by with him being actively traumatized while his friends had grown up. Will didn't get that chance.
Imo making a painting for Mike was a last desperate attempt by him to get his childhood bestie back through gift-giving. He doesn't understand why being Mike's girlfriend entitles El to more communication from him, and why his friendship takes a back seat. Will just wants a fucking break and for people to take platonic relationships as seriously as they take romantic ones.

I feel bad for Starlo.
Star has a point, idk what the four were ticked off about, there is like 99% chance everyone willingly participated in the trolley problem, based on what we've seen of his behavior thus far it's not like Starlo to be that big of a jerk/drag them by force/yell at them to do it. Ed's words:
he does it because Star asks NICELY
clearly jealous
It genuinely seemed like a fun time/fun roleplay, especially since every day is the same. Like, the five are supposed to be a rowdy and adventures bunch, what exactly did Starlo do wrong, I'm genuinely confused and curious. Except taking a big liking in Clover (his posse should know that this is a big moment for him, according to Blackjack they've known each other since high school and had the same liking for westerns. So they were basically a nerd gang.) Starlo was kind, patient and considerate towards Clover the whole time, even warned Mooch about them not being bandits, taught Clover gun safety, wanted to bring his posse along for a fun time, thanked Ace for telling him about getting Clover a new hat...
Sure, at first he only liked Clover for being a human, but as Ceroba says, that changed and he grew to genuinely care about them, plus I can't help but think Star saw himself in Clover and that's part of the reason he was so proud of them all the time even when they messed up (I'll talk more about this at some point)
What exactly made Ace want to leave the gang? He even said how he doesn't mind "getting run over by the fake train"
he's so nice. says sorry for forgetting the safety goggles even when he was scatterbrained due to his excitement. I love him so much
The only real "faults" (I'll call them temporary faults) I saw in Star during the Wild East section was that he was even more enthusiastic and more proud than usual. But how couldn't he be when he met a member of the species that he has admired for so long because they have real cowboys and sheriffs on the surface (who are seen as brave heroes who deliver justice, while Star canonically feels like a nobody farmer). His posse should have realized Clover wouldn't be there forever and just let their boss enjoy himself with his "deputy who'd have to leave sooner or later anyway"(or be more patient with him/ask him why he feels this strongly towards Clover/if there's a deeper reason for that). His friends including Ceroba just turn their back on him so quickly instead. The moment he's gotten the chance to feel valued for once and put himself first and not have to take care of this whole town and everyone in it and live his dream of meeting a real human, suddenly "his personality is damaged?"
Star's literally built this whole town, organised everything, he worries about everyone, Ceroba (plus was the one to give her emotional strength before and after Clover's sacrifice), Kanako, the monsters, his family, struggles with feelings of worthlessness yet never wipes that smile off his face, always does his best to be hopeful and optimistic and make others laugh, gave his posse a nap time so they don't become exhausted, gave Ceroba a free home, didn't act upon his feelings towards her and was a 110% supportive, caring friend instead. THAT'S who he is. He's the papa bear of this friend group, the glue holding everyone together.
He was just *really* excited. Y'all know he's insecure and just wishes to escape who he is and yet y'all blame him for liking Clover so much. Yeah, the four are very clearly jealous. But why won't the four of you control your feelings for a while? As mentioned, Clover WILL HAVE TO LEAVE EVENTUALLY. They won't be Star's "deputy" forever (the kid who's just as into westerns as he is, who values justice just as much, who also values doing the right thing. Someone he clearly felt understood in the presence of, whom he loved; just look at the way he talks about Clove during Showdown). Star seems genuinely confused of what he did wrong poor guy just wanted to live his fantasy for once and feel important:
Even at the beginning Moray's like "oh no Martlet is upset" Mooch replies "don't be a buzzkill nothing exciting ever happens around here" and Ray's like "Yeah you've got a point"
If you all agreed to have a little fun with a human who will very soon leave forever why is Starlo's enthusiasm such a big problem? If the posse weren't into this after all (unless they were simply too jealous which could have been solved with a honest talk and a little patience) why are you doing this "rowdy" job with Star in the first place? Do you want your boring routine day to day life so much back? Or just for Clover to leave (which they will soon enough)? You, western enthusiasts, literally met a real human, A HUMAN FROM WESTERNS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PASSIONATELY INTO (clearly not as passionate as Star but passionate ENOUGH to understand where he's coming from).
... okay.

My Contribution to April Fool's 2024
Honestly, this came into my head like five minutes ago but I felt I had to share. A crack fic where Lila walks inside the classroom on April 1rst, and sadly announces that her mother was transfered back to Italy and she's leaving France forever. She does it with big, teary eyes, a sad smile, the whole shabang. Naturally, the class throws a last minute farewell party for her. Adrien collapses against the wall from relief, Nino thinks he's sad to see her go, and Marinette decides to draw Lila a whole sketch of the class waving goodbye to her, smiling brightly all the while. How nice of their class president!
Unfortunately...at the tail end of the last period, the door is slammed open, and in strides Lila, with her characteristic "Hi everyone!". Adrien reflexively hisses at her, and Marinette slams her head on the desk hard enough to dent the wood. I- I have no idea how this occured to me, but this scene refused to leave me alone till I wrote abt it. So here you go! It's much funnier if you visualize it, I promise!

hey! late to the boone sh discussion sorry. as someone who’s had close friends who were ex servicemen sh is real common, even without the whole dead wife thing, so my personal head cannon is that the blood trail was him accidentally or internationally going too deep and then trying to fix it (hence why it goes to the bathroom). BUT my hc is also that that isn’t where boone and carla lived together - i believe that they had a house and he moved into the motel when she was kidnapped, so personally i don’t think that blood could be hers.
Don't worry about being late, I like discussing headcanons!
I agree with you on all this. I think Carla and Boone were at least in Novac at the time (whether or not they lived in the motel, I'm not sure) but the wiki says Boone "tracked her down", so I doubt she died in the motel room, or even in Novac. The idea of him leaving her blood is everywhere like that one reddit comment suggested is... a bit strange, especially if you think about the bits of gore and brain-bits that'd be splattered around as well. It wouldn't be TOO surprising for Boone, but you'd think he'd just keep, like, some of her clothing or something??
Both him self harming with or without suicidal intent makes sense. He has the mindset that life needs to punish him for what he did ("Life has a way of punishing you for the mistakes you make. Big enough mistake, punishment can take a while. Mine’s not over.") - maybe he took a failed attempt as proof he can't take the "easy" way out and that he needs to suffer more, or maybe the self harm was him trying to create that suffering he believes he deserves. There's a lot of different ways you can go with this and they're all interesting enough to go in-depth about.
Either way, I wish there were more theories or fanfictions that worked with this headcanon. It brings a light to Boones motives and even his beliefs on fate and death - does he think he'll be "allowed" to die if he goes through enough pain? Does he think there's a higher being that decides when he's done suffering? If he believes in the afterlife, does he think Carla is the one deciding how much suffering he goes through?
