Celta, something odd is going on. Tom Bower said the Sussex kids were "Harry's kids" in his book "Revenge." Lady Colin Campbell has said the same thing a number of times on her YT channel. Now Neil Sean has said it twice in recent videos on his own YT channel. I don't know what it is, but something clearly is going on for several public figures to keep saying the kids are "Harry's kids" Tarot cards idea "Why are TB, Lady C and NS all saying the kids are Harry's and not Harry and Meghan's kids"?

Hi Nonny,

It does seem like something is going on. I will read on it.

I just saw a whole PR campaign unroll in front of me, and it is not pretty.

Say that the children were born from a surrogate.

Say that the BRF know this and that someone can prove it.

By passing the children off as being born from Meghan's body, Harry has interfered with the Line of Succession. The punishment for this, by law, is for Harry and the children to be removed from the line of succession.

Say you don't want this to happen.

Say you consciously rebrand the kids as 'Harry's kids'

Say the news about the surrogates comes out.

Say that you deliberately create a media storm about Harry's punishment, saying that 'he was only doing it for his kids' and that the punishment should not be enacted as 'it was all done to protect the innocent children - no crime was intended'.

What do you think will happen next?

Alternatively, branding the kids as 'Harry's kids' could be a way of keeping them in the UK after a divorce and/or justifying their titles and/or setting up a justification for any future sums of money spent on them.

However it is used, like you said, something is up when they are cutting Meghan out of the picture.

chapter 1 | chapter 2 |

not owned by me >>> cerealkills

__________________________________________________

what i didn’t know was that a certain blonde curly headed boy was staring at billy with red in his eyes...

Vance did not like billy at all. He hated him, why? because he was going to take his- i mean this stupid girl on a date. Vance didn’t know why he was feeling like this.

The hangout was great, catching up with billy was good because he understood the pain me and my brother have with our “dad”. It was so refreshing, not having to argue with some stupid boy like vance hopper. His hair is so stupid and his face when he is focusing on his game is kind of dreamy- wait what?! no! i shouldn’t be thinking about him argh!

Dancing queen By ABBA plays:

Ooh You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen

“ this is my other favourite song ”I said to billy pulling him up with me to dance. “im not the kind of guy that dances (nickname) he says laughing but dances with me.

Friday night and the lights are low Looking out for a place to go Where they play the right music Getting in the swing You come to look for a king Anybody could be that guy Night is young and the music's high With a bit of rock music Everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance

i saw (name) and hargrove dancing with each other in the diner. I felt so angry he was touching MY (name) i don’t even care anymore, i’ve loved her since we had met and the reason why i “hate” he was because i don’t know how to express my feelings to her.

I stormed in and started to yell “HARGROVE GET AWAY FROM HER” i said marching towards them.

You are the dancing queen Young and sweet Only seventeen Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen

the song still played even when vance started to yell. I saw him looking at us so that’s why i started to dance with billy. To get a reaction out of him, it worked very well. “fuck you want hopper” billy said pushing his chest up to look bigger than vance, which he already is but thats because billy’s 18 and we are 15. “what are you doing dancing with MY girl?!” vance said getting up into billy’s face. But that word caught me off guard. Did he say “my” girl??

I saw how beautiful (name) looks while billy looks like trash. I can't believe she went out with this ugly thing. she should be with someone as handsome as me. So she should be with me and not billy fucking hargrove.

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on Leave 'em burning and then you're gone Looking out for another Anyone will do You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance

i cant believe he likes me back! but thats right a fight is about to happen if i don’t stop them. “STOP” i yelled at both of them. They looked at me and stopped which i felt proud of, but i grabbed both of them by pulling them outside. Leaving money and a tip on the table. “what’s wrong with you vance!” i said yelling trying to act mad but i was actually really touched he would do that for me. “billy can you go please, ill call you later” i whispered in his ear giving him a kiss on the cheek. “why are you with him” vance growls still glaring at a smirking billy, because he is my best friend we haven’t seen each other in a year. He understands my pain unlike you hopper” i said with a snarky tone.

he smirked and then said something i couldn’t believe.

“i was jealous and i wanted to be the one to take you out on a date. Not some 18 yo that’s your best friend. I’ve loved you since we met because your beautiful, kind, sarcastic and my dream girl (name) bowers.

“so will you go on a date with me?”

Part 4: Billy Hargrove

Those of you who've followed my blog know I've never liked Billy as a character. I loathed him back in 2017 when he was first introduced to the show, and the following years since have done nothing to improve my opinion about him. If anything, I've continued to despise him not just because of how repulsive he is as a person, but because of the never-ending parade of excuses and abuse apologies I've seen this fandom make for every shitty thing he's ever done.

As a general rule of thumb, I don't like abusers. I especially don't like bullies. In the past, I've been forced to put up with people who've behaved like Billy does. People who constantly projected their issues onto me and others because they needed an outlet for whatever the hell their problem was, and didn't give a damn about how hurtful they were being. These were the kind of people who were snide, cruel, rude, unpleasant, and unkind because they could get away with it, and who enjoyed getting a rise out of others because their lives were so miserable that they could only get satisfaction by putting others down. Whatever empathy I initially might have had for them has been replaced with cold contempt, and I want nothing to do with them anymore.

I want to be clear that I recognize Billy as an abuse survivor, and that the way Neil raised him played a major role in turning him into an abuser. To the book's credit, it does not shy away from depicting the abuse in all of its ugliness, or how Neil's twisted values rubbed off on Billy in the worst possible way. I can understand why Billy became the way he did, and even pity him to some extent.

What I am NOT sympathetic towards, however, is Billy taking his rage out on everyone to the point they become collateral damage, and inflicting abuse on Max to the point her life became a living hell. I have no patience for fans who either victim-blame Max for the way Billy treated her, or victim-blame others characters (like Steve and Lucas) for the way Billy treated them. I also don't have the time or patience for people who want to act like Billy's history gives him carte blanche to be vile and hateful to others. It's the same feeling I have for other characters outside of Stranger Things, including the Roy Family from Succession and Henry Bowers from Stephen King's IT: Even if the writers gave valid backstories to these characters to explain why they are as messed up as they are, it still doesn't make their behavior excusable, and trying to act like it is does not make those characters endearing in any way.

But even with all this context, none of it makes Billy look better in the book or on the show. If anything, he comes out looking worse.

He's still belittling and nasty to Max when he can get away with it:

He intentionally goes out of his way to isolate Max from others, including driving away the friends she initially had in San Diego (Ben and Eddie), and later tries to do the same thing with Lucas and his group:

At one point, he goes out of his way to break the arm of Max's best friend, Nate, in order to drive him away (and it works):

This event btw (Billy breaking Nate's arm) is the reason for why Neil and Susan decide to move to Hawkins. Billy, of course, doesn't take any responsibility for his behavior, and instead tries to blame Max for what happened:

At one point, Billy sets a dead cat on fire as a means for getting under the skin of his so-called friend Sid, which succeeds in driving Sid away when it becomes clear just how unhinged Billy truly is:

Multiple times, Billy either abandons Max to skateboard home on her own, or threatens to:

He repeatedly treats girls like shit, with the big difference being he's more open about being a sleazebag compared to Neil (which doesn't make him a better person by any means):

Notably, from the show, he speeds up his car the moment he sees Mike and his friends on the road, and Max is genuinely scared that Billy is going to hit them. It gets to the point she grabs the wheel in order to stop Billy. And the moment Max does this, she is TERRIFIED that Billy is going to hurt her for it:

He also breaks Max's skateboard as punishment for her hanging around Lucas:

When Billy finds Lucas later at Joyce's house in the season 2 finale, Max is genuinely scared for Lucas's safety in that moment:

And finally, when Billy starts beating Steve to a bloody pulp, Max is genuinely scared that Billy is going to kill him:

What really gets under my skin is how Billy knows that what he's doing to Max (and to others) is wrong, and still does it anyways. He likes getting a rise out of people. He likes being vicious to others when he can get away with it.

For as much as some fans like to wax poetic about Billy being a complex character...........he really isn't. His character, and the way he carries himself through life, can be summed up as "I'm miserable, so everyone else gets to be miserable with me." He isn't even unique in terms of that kind of character. I can point to other shows and movies (True Blood, Star Wars, Breaking Bad, Succession, Stephen King's IT, etc) where the type of character Billy represents has been done to death before.

To put it bluntly: I'm tired of characters like Billy. It's easy to be a bully. It's easy to be cruel. Nothing about that makes me remotely interested in him.

There's a rich hypocrisy in how people in this fandom will direct their bile at Susan for turning a blind eye to the abuse Neil dishes out to Billy while simultaneously turning a blind eye to the abuse Billy dishes out to Max. I cannot begin to describe how many times I've seen fans either downplay/whitewash the worst of Billy's behavior, make excuses and abuse apologies for him, or else victim-blame every other character for the way Billy treats them. There is clear-cut, irrefutable evidence that Billy is an abuser, and fans still want to pretend that he wasn't.

In a way, a lot of these excuses/apologies are so reminiscent of the ones made for real life abusers that it makes me wonder if the stans who project themselves hard onto Billy (and become vicious towards anyone who dares to say anything negative about him) are going through something awful in their personal lives to make them behave like this. Otherwise, why are they pretending that a character's actions aren't abusive? There's no other satisfying explanation.

And if it sounds like I'm unsympathetic, it's because I am. I have seen so many Billy stans over the years who have gone out of their way to bully and harass anyone who is slightly critical of Billy, or else deliberately go into the #anti billy hargrove/ #anti harringrove tags to pick fights with Billy antis and then play victim when those people (rightfully) get irritated with them. It's gotten to the point my sympathy for them is non-existent.

You guys know damn well why there are out people out there who don't like Billy. Own up to it. If you want to sit there and headcanon Billy being a woobie soft boi who's secretly a sweetie-pie that truly loved his sister and wasn't abusive to her, that's your business. Don't come trying to shove that headcanon down our throats, and then act upset because we reject it.

And last, but not least........let's talk about Billy's *ahem* behavior towards Lucas on the show.

Part 5: Billy and Lucas

When I first saw season 2 back in 2017, even before the Duffer Brothers gave their interview about Billy, I pegged the guy as a racist. Everything about his behavior towards Lucas, to his comments to Max about how "there's a certain type of people in this world you stay away from" and how Lucas was one of those kids, was a big indicator for me at the time about Billy's bigotry. When the Duffer Brothers later came out in an interview and confirmed he was racist, I wasn't shocked:

Last year, Caleb McLaughlin (who plays Lucas) also came out and confirmed this in an interview:

Now Jason is a whole different character that I will talk more about when I review Lucas on the Line, but it's important to note that Caleb was firm in pointing out that Billy was racist, and that Billy specifically targeted Lucas because he was a black kid. Both Billy and Neil were bigots, and Max even acknowledges this in the book:

There is a whole on-going discussion these days about fandom racism, how characters of color in movies and TV shows get the most bile and contempt directed at them, and how there's a tendency to have their pain and traumas dismissed in favor of white characters, and Stranger Things is no different. In fact, this is arguably one of the first shows where I became aware of how prevalent fandom racism is, and it all had to do with how many people were determined to erase Billy's racism towards Lucas and deny that it ever was a thing. Disgusting isn't a good enough word to describe this.

As for the tiresome, pathetic excuse Billy stans offer about how Billy was really being protective of Max...............Seriously? That's what your going with?

We're talking about a guy who drove away Max's friends, sadistically broke her best friends arm, blamed her for things that weren't her fault, repeatedly abandoned Max to skateboard home either because he didn't want to wait for her or because he wanted to shag the next girl he laid eyes on, made it clear to Max that he hated her and wanted nothing to do with her, was repeatedly abusive to her and worked to isolate her from everyone and everything she loved. But now he suddenly cares for her safety?

I know I'm being sharp here, but the constant mental gymnastics people do to make Billy seem less awful than he really is has caused me to lose a lot of respect for this fandom.

As for the people who will inevitably bring up Dacre's take on Billy........... @scoopertroopers put it best in the post I reblogged from them last year: 1.) The Duffer Brothers are the ones who wrote Billy to be racist (and said as much in the interview they gave), and 2.) Caleb McLaughin, a black actor who has been subjected to racism from this very fandom, has a better claim to say whether a white character's actions on a show constitute racism.

Billy was a racist. His treatment of Lucas was racist. Period.

Final Thoughts:

This is defiantly a tie-in book I recommend buying and reading. It's faithful to the show, and it gives more insight into Max's character. There are parts of this book that may be hard to get through because of the subject matter, but it is worth it to see Max come out on the other side and begin to find a place where she can belong and feel safe.

@skippyv20 good morning beautiful Skippy ❤️ I don’t know if it’s me, but having these reporters/ having these biographers, the likes of Neal Sean’s Lady C valentine slow, and Tom Bower all come out saying that Hollywood is sick of Harry and Megan is just too damn funny and then her over exposed but continuously put a puff pieces that she’s distance herself from her toxic husband book and then Neil Sean says that Megan has 12 accounts on Twitter. I’m like we’re not surprised she’s also on Instagram and on Tumblr and people have a daily occurrence of BS from her and then she deactivated her account. She’s a coward. I have a feeling that all of this even a secret accounts is going to blow up in her face. It really is watching her become the biggest clown in history of the British royal family. It’s not only sad, but freaking hilarious because you’ve never seen Wallace Simpson do this I’m just saying.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How Stranger Things mishandles racism

Looking back on how the Duffers mishandle racism. It's bad.

Stranger Things on the whole is very tepid in its portrayal of racism.

In the 80s, in rural Indiana it would have been way more blatant, especially from bully characters like Troy and Billy.

Troy is racist and homophobic. His vile comments about Will and treatment of the party is vile. He makes one racist comment about Lucas and it's never brought up again. Him trying to kill Mike is more focused on and they still try to make him sympathetic in the comics.

Billy is a racist, the Duffer Bros even admit this, yet they backtrack one season later.

They wanted Billy to say the N word in the script, but Dacre did not want to say the vile word to avoid being type cast as racist characters.

Even in Runaway Max

He singles out Lucas and out of everyone Max befriended, Lucas is the only one he was violent with. He specifically said this about Lucas "There are certain type of people in this world that you stay away from"

Billy didn’t target Mike, he didn’t target Will, he didn’t target Dustin. The excuse his stans use is “he was protecting Max, he would’ve done the same thing for the others” HE DIDN’T, HE SPECIFICALLY FUCKING CHOSE LUCAS!

He singled out the one black kid in the party and told Max to “stay away from people like him” and then slammed him against a wall with the intent to kill him, until Steve stood up for Lucas(yet ya’ll ship that racist sack of shit with Steve)

Yeah, that's fucking racist and even Caleb said Billy was fucking racist.

his backstory doesn’t even give us enough of a reason for his blatant racism. They could’ve at least given some more context to why he was such an asshole to Lucas. Childhood abuse doesn’t explain his bigotry. Like yes, he could've internalized Neil's racism, but you can't keep blaming Neil for shit that Billy's done as a grown adult harassing a black kid.

They specifically based Billy on Henry Bowers from IT.

And then they backtracked a season later. Billy is possessed instead of being a willing participant of The Mind Flayer to get revenge on Max, Lucas and the party. All the racism against Lucas and abuse of Max is washed over and they act like it never happened.

And honestly, I don't think Patrick should've been apart of Jason's friend group because it would've done more to make him hateable than to make Lucas the token black guy of Jason's brigade of psychos. Especially considering how everyone else in the group but Jason looked down on Lucas. To me Jason is the type of guy who makes everyone think he's this great guy, very misogynistic and closeted racist and the type of guy who would defend Lucas to his friends by saying "he's one of the good ones"

Honestly I would've replaced Patrick with Troy. Troy returning apart of Jason's group would've worked so much better the more I think about it. To get past the whole Lucas in the group, you could have Troy put on a “oh I’m so sorry I’m not like that anymore” act but saying racist things behind his back, then have the act drop the second Lucas doesn’t fall in line. Maybe Troy was supposed to score the winning shot, but Lucas was called in instead of Troy and he held that resentment and it's been building, so the minute Jason and co drop Lucas, Troy's psycho ass is after him. Then Troy gets to have his little revenge on the party and gets to be as vile as he can since they woobified the Henry Bowers of the show a season prior.

Even less obvious, is my one of my biggest gripes of season 4: Officer Powell should have been passed over for Chief in favor of Officer Callahan. No way Powell is getting that position in rural 80s Indiana. And it would have made the season better, because then you could have Callahan bumbling the murders, with Powell stepping up showing how much better he was despite getting passed over for obvious reasons.

So yeah. Racism in Stranger Things is so downplayed, they introduce racist themes and don't do anything with them or just outright forget they exist in the first place to make vile characters seem better.

This reddit post says it all

Hey 👋

I've seen some recent anti posts where they're like "Dacre did SUCH a good job making us hate Billy" which is... just so wrong lmao.

They act like Dacre didn't put his heart, body, and mind into making Billy a sympathetic character (in contrast to the Duffers wanting another Henry Bowers).

Also... saying Billy is like Bowers is laughable tbh.

Henry targeted each and every kid in the losers club. He didn't have a sister that his father made him watch, like Billy did.

If anything, Bowers is closer to Jason Carver than any other character.

Well, Troy from s1 (and his pal, I think his name was James), too.

But I guess they were forgotten as well *sigh*

I saw someone say that Billy saying "it'll all be over soon" felt r*pish. He was possessed, and that same person also said that he'd told this to Max.

Seems to be a common theme in which some antis haven't actually watched the show.

Some die hard Steve fans who are antis, have even told me they either haven't watched s1, or they just straight up ignore s1 Steve.

As a survivor myself, I really wish antis would stop throwing around words like r*pe and abuse.

When they mention abuse, all they ever mention is Billy being the abuser. They don't talk about Neil, they don't talk about Lonnie, and they don't talk about Brenner (or Vecna).

Another thing I've noticed is that outside of our corner, the only other time this fandom mentions abuse is really just to further prove that a certain ship is canon.

Hey 👋🏻

It is funny, because Dacre has been very vocal about Billy having “flaws” but not being inherently bad or evil. He advocates so hard for imperfect victims, which is what I love about him. Billy would be nothing without Dacre, and I wish more actors had the guts to fight for better writing lol. The Duffers keep making shallow references to Stephen King’s work, and it makes me really wonder if they understood any of the major themes in his books. Granted, King was doing a lot of drugs when he wrote IT, but the story is still solidly inspired by real homophobic and racist violence in a small town as well as the general disregard for children and their safety. Stranger Things is based on conspiracy theories and government experimentation on people. Why they act like these two medias are comparable or need the same kinds of antagonists is just weird to me.

Henry Bowers was abused, too. Like, his father was a racist cop who antagonized Mike’s family for years and he was also violent towards his own son. Obviously, that had an impact on Henry who developed antisocial behavior. On the very surface, that seems similar to Billy. However, there is a big difference between them in terms of agency and the degree of harm. Billy’s violence was mostly reactive. There was a clear trigger (usually his dad). Henry sought out his victims to antagonize and he was very much addicted to the violence. IT was able to weaponize Henry because Henry wanted that power. He ended up killing his father without remorse. In order for the Mindflayer to weaponize Billy, it had to take over his mind and his body completely leaving Billy with little to no agency. Billy was consumed by guilt over what the Mindflayer made him do. His personality and reaction to trauma is nothing like Henry Bowers.

Henry is representative of the fear and hate prevalent in his small town, which is similar to Jason’s role last season in that regard. Their respective roles expose the prejudices of their communities. Billy’s role didn’t really do that. I don’t think the Duffers really thought about his purpose beyond being a “human antagonist” and a source of conflict for Max and Lucas (which…why was this necessary if they were never going to address it again?). There are obviously bigger bads whose entire shtick is Remorseless Abuser, and I’ve said before that this show *could* be about systematic abuse and fighting against it (including government/institutional abuse) but the Duffers hate survivors too much to explore that with any authenticity. So, we end up having to do that for them. This show and its fandom at large really are so shallow. All spectacle and trauma as decoration without critical thought.
