Billy Lenz headcanons 2
Tumblr media
Part two baby let's go
TW: child abuse, animal death again :( though I don't really get into the details of either of it
Grew up in a kind of suburban/rural like area, not totally isolated but definitely a bit remote, so a lot of things that happened in the Lenz household went unnoticed by the wider community
Lived close by to a pig farm as a child, hearing their grunts and squeals all day and all night. He quickly adopted the sounds, and now grunting and squealing and snorting are a stim to him. Though, because of this he often got compared to pigs by his family as a child :( he did sometimes sneak away to the pig farm to look at the pigs to get away from his house
Had a crooked broken nose. He either got it broken by one of his parents or Agnes broke it in self defense
As stated in the last part, he loves movies, and one of his absolute favorite ones is the shining. Jack Nicholson is one of his favorite actors, and he watched most of his filmography- exept one flew over the cuckoo's nest. He can't handle that one, it's too real for him
Likes those adult oriented animated movies that came out during the 70's-80's like Fritz the cat, Fantastic planet, Rock and rule, and so on. He also very much enjoys who framed Roger rabbit and cool world, though not really for their technical breakthroughs (perv)
I can see him also appreciating eastern block animated films if he ever got his hands on them, like Russian fairy tale animated films and early Hungarian folk tales, János vitéz etc.
Last unicorn enjoyer but prefers the book to the animated movie (though he enjoys both)
Doesn't really like Disney animated movies though (exept for Roger rabbit). The ones that came out during his adulthood were too "kiddie" for his tastes, and the ones from his childhood trigger him greatly
Has Italian heritage
Hates hippies, though likes a couple of bands that can be considered to make hippie/stoner music like Pink Floyd and the Doors
Yes he relates to Pink from the acclaimed concept album/rock opera movie Pink Floyd's The Wall why do you ask
Every weed is scary weed to him, don't let this man bake
Cat's are his favorite animal, aside from pigs, and he would feed the local stray cats as a child
Would honestly be catkin in a modern au
Garfield is his favorite mediocre but cute Saturday morning comic strip <3 he relates to Jon a lot
Doesn't like children, they freak him out, he would never want to have children and that's for the best
Has an appreciation for naive/amateur/outsider art, and he himself does make his own collages and drawings from time to time, whenever he's mentally stable enough to do that. His works are crude, both technically and thematically, and there is a very morbid quality to them. One of his great inspirations is Henry Darger
Has hoarder tendencies
Loves soft things, like blankets, pillows and plushies. His nest in the attic is like the most comfortable pillow fort there is
Yes the plushies are stolen directly from children
Honestly has his own collection of small, tinny , insignificant shinny things he found/stole. If he ever gets his own place his house would look like Howl Movingcastles room just more... Dirty and covered in cat hair
Liked to lay out all the things he stole from the girls in the sorority house on the attic floor, and admire his spoils from time to time
Yes he is a panty snatcher why do you ask
Doesn't like people staring/looking at him, though he himself has a staring problem
Is afraid of dogs, he got bitten by a stray dog one time when he ran away from home when he was just three years old. A stranger who just so happened to be passing by saw what was happening and defended him, killing the dog in the process. Then he took Billy right back to his family home, like any good Samaritan would. Sometimes Billy's nightmares have bloody, gaping black dogs in them.

hi anna!! 7, 8, 11, 17, and of course, 9 i love to quote lines and i know u also love to do this and now is ur chance <3
hi abby!!!!
7. What’s a troupe you love to write?
i’m not really sure how to answer this one! i guess if i took a really broad view of it what i like writing about best is characters knowing they’re making bad choices and then still doing it (this is basically the whole point of she moves through moonbeams slowly and your skin, wearing thin which are probably my favorite two things i’ve published this year). it’s kinda easier to think about what i don’t have a lot of interest in writing—namely any ‘fix-it’ fics. i as a writer have moved beyond the urge to write fix-it fic. consequences are so much more fun.
8. What kind of document do you use to write? Microsoft Word? Google Docs? Straight in the AO3 text box?
google docs—and idk if you’ve seen that post going around lately about their suggestions/corrections getting worse but i agree with it. they are getting worse. but i simply will not pay for microsoft office
11. How many words do you have on AO3 (if you use that platform)
430,707! wow, that feels like a lot!!
17. Are there any writers and/or stories that you consider an influence? 
not really specifically! i have a lot of stories and authors that i would recommend to other people, but not really ones i consider touchstones for me as a writer. i guess the closest thing lately has been discworld but it feels way pretentious to call that an influence? i’m just a really big fan? but reading these books is such a good reminder that writing can be funny.
9. What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written? 
yeah i’m gonna do a bunch of these
“Astrid in Nicodranas, who drinks from a tea service that doesn’t have a single piece in common with itself, doesn’t think about the dignity of her station at all. She thinks about the price of fish at the market, about the cool breeze blowing over the water, about a cantrip for making letters weatherproof. And if she wants to wear a red hat with a wide brim that dangles with silver stars, paired with a cloak that’s pine green and a shirt that’s sky blue and pants that are patched at the knees and socks that are purple and orange respectively, well. She has no reason not to.” from feel the ground beneath your feet turn into the sky. i wrote this fic out of what a commenter correctly divined was a wish for astrid to have a “crazy bitch gone girl redemption arc moment”. she could outdress howls movingcastle if she wanted. and she should have everything she wants. i know i just talked about how much i love consequences and stuff but once in a while maybe a character should commit arson and murder and then run away to a seaside town and become The Wizard there. have we considered that.
“Raishan purrs with pleasure, smoke dripping lazily from her mouth. She turns her gaze to the focus and takes the speaker in: it’s one of the small things, with hair like flame and horns like a young wyrm’s first set. And it is draped in green: her color, poison and rot and sick smoke, the lovely gleam of her scales in the dark.” from you are coming down with me. raishan can always be 5% hornier and 10% more obsessive than she is in canon it is always correct for a dragon to be so.
“He sighs loudly, rising and stretching hugely, not even bothering to fix his robes as he walks past her. But as he goes he pauses, setting a hand on the back of her chair, close enough for her to feel the heat of him. She doesn’t look up—but she does tilt the datapad so she can catch his reflection.” from your skin, wearing thin. this story is about two people who hate each other so much but have so much history there’s never gonna be any escaping it. this marriage is a black hole and their good friend is going to be spaghettified in one of the most toxic threeways coruscant has ever seen. first time i wrote about star wars and it was just me arguing that they should make this relationship worse by adding another person (and i’m right). perrin is being honest for once in his life because it hurts mon more than lying would. she needs to see him through the reflection; it’s like a filter between herself and reality.
“It’s the kind of spell that only looks simple to amateurs. From Vivian’s lungs comes a falcon of night-blue feathers, the tips of which gleam with stars. It soars above the gathered guests, chirruping and crying and showing everyone—Vivian Kensington can make magic move, make it speak, make it beautiful.” from like flowers and blue skies. i have a pretty hard time with descriptions sometimes, and i’m really proud of this one! i feel like everything in this fic that had to do with Vivian and stars turned out well, but this is the point in the story where the magic felt most like magic to me.
“She’s a sort of placeholder for Keyleth, she thinks, which would be infuriating if it weren’t so very useful. Every minute Raishan spends with her gaze fixed on Cassandra’s cut throat is a minute she isn’t murdering everyone in Whitestone. But the distraction...
There’s a little bit of a whisper, a bug in her ear, that tremendous instinct that drives mortals to steal fire and challenge gods rising up and saying: well, why shouldn’t I do the worst possible thing?” from she moves through moonbeams slowly. there’s something to be said for sheer audacity.
