every time i look back on steve and billy’s fight, i can’t understand people who straight up will talk about it like billy was planning a murder. he was willing to get his sister back home and be done with it. that would’ve been the end of it. was he pissed? yeah, rightfully so. his little sister sneaks out and it’s doing god knows what in a new environment she and their family knows shit about. [i’m not even getting into the scene with neil because plenty of people have, and they are certainly more coherent than i am lol]

an 18-year-old lies to billy about where his little sister is and when confronted about the lie, responds with an insult (“were you dropped as a child” comment). steve offers no explanation as to why his sister is there, and has the audacity to expect that billy will just, what, leave his little sister with strangers? respond with “aw shucks, i guess you know better, harrington. you know my little sister already, even though she is a middle schooler and we’ve been in this town for a week…i suppose it’s normal for a person your age to be around 13-year-olds who aren’t related to you. i’ll just leave you to it.”

[i wonder if people who vilify billy in this moment have siblings. because if you think leaving a sibling behind in a clearly shady situation would’ve been reasonable and ok…i’m concerned for your siblings lmao i’m sorry but i am]

but anyway. the point of the post is: when it gets to the climax of the fight, he has the upper hand after being on equal footing (because hey, steve punched him first, remember? steve is not a saint in this situation, and many people [antis most of the time] talk about this fight as if steve wasn’t throwing punches).

i don’t know if anyone has ever been in a fight, i unfortunately have been in a handful, i have been where steve is, and let me tell you, this doesn’t look like someone who enjoys having the upper hand. dacre could’ve very well acted this part with billy’s ah ha ha ha laughter, maybe a hint of smug satisfaction, maybe continuous taunting.

but he didn’t for a reason. billy isn’t enjoying any of this. in this supposed triumphant moment for billy, anguish overcomes anger. this isn’t what he wanted. he didn’t go to the byers’ house looking for and planning a fight, he was looking for his god damn little sister.

i just…idk. dacre puts out this complex performance in a matter of seconds, accomplished the definition of “show don’t tell.” but i guess the audience needed to be told. (although, they love to ignore neil’s scenes. so at this point it’s just plain denial).

#billy hargrove #billy hargrove meta #billy hargrove analysis #harringrove #dacre montgomery #stranger things billy #st billy #look i know basically everyone that likes billy made these points #but i still feel like a lot of people interpret billy as someone who is constantly looking for fights #like headcanon what you want! i’ll never stop anyone from doing so because i read some good meta and fanfic in which he does look for it #but i think given what max says about him #the ‘he was always a dick but now he’s just angry’ #implies he wasn’t resorting to violence before hawkins #that he was more of a little shit #lmao #but anyway #i think this moment is just pure self loathing #because he knows what it’s like to be in that position #he knows what it’s like to be powerless #from both the abuse his mom went through and his #so yeah

Are you stupid?

You can be racist and have POC friends, Jason is way worse than Billy any day. Jason isn't the one being abused by his father everyday, he isn't poor, he didn't get taken from his home and live with a step sibling that he didn't know that well.

Jason is a horrible person and got his friend to tackle Erica, then he held a gun at Lucas. You can't tell me that that isn't racist, you can't tell me that's worse than what Billy ever did. Jason said "I thought you were one of the good ones". That. Is. Racist.

Billy got his bad traits from his father. Billy got beat by his father. Billy was crying into the phone for his mom to come home. Billy had no support system. Steve was the only person that Billy bullied and tormented, and in my opinion, Steve is a worse character than Billy.

Steve threw slurs, while Billy got slurs thrown at him by his own father. Just because you don't care about abuse victims, doesn't mean you have to spread your hate.

I think that Billy just wanted Lucas to stop hanging around because if Neil found out, Billy would be the one getting beat. Neil would probably hurt Lucas way more than Billy could have ever done. Billy was protecting Max and himself, he was scared that Neil would find out. He did care and love Max, he just showed it in some confusing ways.

Also, the Duffer brothers are racist, they wanted Dacre to say the N word. Dacre protested and it ended up not happening. Billy saying the N word isn't canon, cause it didn't happen in the show. Stop always going to that excuse for him being a bad person. He never said any slur.

People say "if the actor wasn't hot, then people wouldn't have liked him" and I disagree. His character is very interesting. He has a backstory, he has trauma, he has an actual interesting plot unlike any other character. Dacre is also a very amazing actor, he was able to make Billy even more interesting.

Dacre has said that his art imitates his life. He put his own life into the character, he didn't have a great relationship with his dad, he has said this.

Max is a horrible person too, she drugged Billy with something that she didn't know was in, almost hit him with Steve's bat, screamed at him before leaving and stealing his car. Billy could have died on the floor, he was drugged and had no car. Tell me that that isn't abuse. Just because Billy grabbed her wrist ONE time, doesn't mean it's abuse.

Siblings fight all the time, it's just what happens. Especially how their family dynamics was. I and many others have fights with our siblings. You get over it in like a day. That doesn't make Billy a bad person. He did some really shitty things, yes. But that doesn't excuse all the hate he gets. He's a complex character, no other character is like him.

That's why he's my baby boy. I relate to him, I'm an abuse victim, I love knowing that I have a character to relate to. Stop blaming abuse victims on how they grew up, they can change. He could have changed if he didn't die. He could have, but nobody let him.

Nobody tried to help him. He didn't have a support system. The people who compare Jonathan to Billy are wild, cause Jonathan did have a support system, his mother did so much. Billy had nobody. His father beat him, hi stepmother did NOTHING to stop Neil, she just watched. She was clearly abused too, but she's the adult, she has to be there for Billy. She has to get Max away from all of this, which in season 4, she did. But she turned into an even worse mom.

Right here. He was trying to get help, he was trying to get the MF to get out. He wanted someone to help him. He kept fighting, and that's how he saved everyone on the day he died. He knew he was going to die, he was sobbing.

Try to think before talking bad against Billy.

Why do people say Vecna/Henry/Jason/Troy/James/Angela are better than Billy?

Vecna/Henry literally tried to kill children and the whole world. Billy wanted to have some fun and games, he would never go to prison for killing a child. He was never going to hit Mike, Lucas, Dustin, or Will.

Troy/James made Mike jump off of a fucking cliff while wanting to take Dustins teeth out. Tell me that isn't fucked. MIKE WOULD HAVE DIED IF EL WASN'T THERE!!

Jason held a fucking gun to Lucas's head and got Erica hurt. He sent a witch-hunt over Eddie and that ended up killing that poor boy. Literally, he was poor and Jason is a rich christian white boy. Tell me that isn't classist. Jason also did this to get information out of a kid.

Angela deserved the roller skate to the face for what she did to El. I would have done the same thing, El never deserved any of what she went through there.

Anyone going to object? Cause you can't, my points are spot on. Why aren't we gonna get mad at Jamie Campbell Bower over saying he relates to Vecna/Henry? If Dacre is bad for doing so, why can't we shame Jamie for the same thing?

I would count the MF taking over Billy like that as a reference of sexual assault. His body gets taken away from him, he is crying for help, he is scared and tried to tell someone. I've talked to SA survivors and they agree.

Anyway, I am pissed at Billy antis and I am just so done with them.

Pretty When You Cry

Pairing: Billy Hargrove x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Angst

Summary: Billy’s girlfriend gets tired of him always abandoning her to hang out with his jock friends. Based on the song Pretty When You Cry by Lana Del Ray

Requested by: My bae @mothshabby

It was a beautiful night as (Y/N) stepped out of her friend’s car, stars shining so bright like they were watching her. Her shoes crunching over the gravel as she got out of the car.

“You want me to come with you?” Nancy asked, brow knitted in concern. (Y/N) avoided eye contact, knowing that the pity on Nancy’s face would make her cry.

She shook her head.

“Alright. Steve’s there if you get into trouble , I’ll wait here until you’re back.”

She was always so grateful for Nancy. Even when the girl was a lot, the Wheeler girl was the best friend anyone could have. And (Y/N) was holding that thought in her mind like a shield as she walked towards the bonfire party that the jocks were holding after their game’s big win.

She could spot Billy fairly easily. Glowing gold in the warm light of the fire, standing and laughing with his friends. His wild laugh like a lion’s roar, his mane of blond hair blowing in the wind.

The sight of him made her chest constrict, even more so when he spotted her and grinned. Billy shoved past his friends and made his way to her. “Hey babe, what are you doing here?”

He knew something was wrong when he leaned forward to kiss her and she stepped back.

“Did you forget, Billy?” Her voice was soft, a waver in it. She was trying to pull on her anger, hoping that anger would make it easier to talk than sadness. “You said we were going out for dinner after your game?”

His face dropped, realizing what he had done. Around them, the basketball players were laughing and play fighting. Unaware of what was happening between the lovers. The fraying relationship.

When (Y/N) and Billy got together, she always felt like his whole world. She was his girl, he told her everything. So many days they spent together, holding each other close.

But Billy had been getting distant, knowing he had her so forgetting he needed to work to keep her.

Plans got cancelled hours before they were supposed to happen, leaving (Y/N) all dressed up with nowhere to go. She’d spend so much time waiting for him only for him to never come through.

And she couldn’t do it any longer.

“I’m sorry princess.” Billy was trying to make it right. “Let me get my stuff, we can go to dinner right now.”

“No. I wanna go home.”

“Then I’ll take you home.” He replied

“Not with you.”

Her boyfriend looked properly scared. “(Y/N).” He only used her proper name when he was being serious. “I’m sorry, I… I can make this better.”

She shook her head, picking at her nails. “I think it’s better if you don’t. This relationship clearly isn’t important to you.”

“No!” Billy denied that quickly, drawing a few glanced from his friends. Their attention was retaken by the party moments after, however. “I need you, babe.”

“Don’t say things you don’t mean.” (Y/N)‘s voice was harsher, her mind made up. “Not when you keep leaving me for your friends.”

She didn’t listen to the rest of his excuses, turning on her heeling and walking away from him. Walking away like she should have done earlier.

It was only when she got back to the car that she started crying. Nancy had her arm around (Y/N), saying reassuring things that the heartbroken girl could barely hear.

While she finally wiped her eyes after her sobbing, (Y/N) took the time to examine herself in the mirror. Billy always said that she looked so pretty, his pretty darling. She wondered if he’d think she looked pretty while crying that she was. Maybe that was why he kept hurting her.

Maybe it was because he thought she was pretty when she cried.

He pushes you up against the wall. His breath is hot against your neck and you can here him unbuckling his belt. “I can’t fucking take it.” He grows. He shoved his hand into your clothes. His fingers were thick and warm, pumping in and out of you. His other hand is over your mouth trying to keep you quiet. While he ravaged your neck with his teeth. Once he’s sure your ready he grabs you by the hips and pulls your ass to him. He takes a second to admire it, rubbing it softly. The gentle jester was soon overshadowed by him shoving his cock deep inside of you. Thrusting fast and hard. “So good,” He groans. He turns your face to him and kisses you hard. His attempt to keep quiet has been completely abandoned. Wet slapping and moans echo down the empty hallway.

i obviously get that billy being violent towards the preteens was bad, but like, you ever wonder why he didn’t have any qualms with it? he grew up in a violent environment, and after his mother left he became neil’s punching bag. so…i assume at some point he thought violence is the way to keep kids in line. it’s either you behave or you get beaten, no in between.

and this may be totally obvious, given his upbringing and shit. but i often see people talk about his way of treating The Party as if he was aware of the ramifications that result from being violent with children. i don’t think he was. neil never had to face consequences for beating billy’s mother and billy. so like…

i don’t even know what i’m trying to say. i just feel like he doesn’t have that switch in his brain to tell him “hey man, these are children, maybe take it down a notch.” because, well, his father didn’t have that for his own son. y’know, the “maybe don’t beat your child” switch. like, in his head, if his own father, his blood, doesn’t care, why should he?

as always, i’m not excusing his behavior. but it’s just…he had no blueprint as to how he could handle the situation another way, a peaceful way.

Nobody is Better

Pairing: Billy Hargrove x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Angst, Severe relationship issues, Breaking up and Making up, Swearing, Angst With A Happy Ending

Summary: Billy and his gf break up over an argument about another girl, and Billy runs away directly into that girl’s arms. Later realizing that he just lost the best thing he ever had and needed to quickly fix what he had broken

Requested by: @mothshabby (I’m so sorry this took so long to post babe, totally my fault)

Looking back, it had all seemed so suspicious. To the point where (Y/N) couldn’t have even believed that she hadn’t taken the time to prepare herself emotionally for the inevitable breakup. For the moment that she confronted Billy and he admitted that his eyes had strayed to another girl.

He hadn’t even done anything with the girl, barely spoken to her. But the idea, the idea of Billy choosing some other girl (and this girl, she was so pretty and popular, so lovely and interesting) over (Y/N), it seemed so obvious to her. Of course he would do that.

He brushed off her worrying at first, laughing it off which only hurt her even more. How dare he think this didn’t mean anything, how dare he think he didn’t betray her. The discussion only turned into an argument from there, until voices were raised and unkind things were said.

Finally…

“You know what, okay then!” Billy shouted, hands raised like he was surrendering, even though (Y/N) knew he would never let her win if he could help it. “If you want me to be fucking her so badly, then sure. We’re done, she’ll clearly be a better girlfriend than you anyway, if you react this way if I ever so much as look in the direction of some other way.”

That sentence, that “she’ll be better than you”, practically knocked the wind out of (Y/N)‘s chest. She froze up, unmoving with blurry eyes as Billy stormed out of her home, slamming the door behind him.

As soon as the house was silent, as soon as she was alone, she crumpled to the floor like a empty can, feeling (fittingly) like garbage as she sobbed into the carpet.

***

She didn’t have contact with him for weeks after that. He got together with the other girl, of course. Immediately after his breakup, he was seen with that pretty girl that broke (Y/N)’s heart.

And the worst part was that she couldn’t even feel angry at the girl. It wasn’t her fault, she probably didn’t even know. And who wouldn’t want to be with Billy. They were a match made in heaven.

No, it was all Billy and (Y/N)’s stupid fucking argument that had ruined the best relationship of her life. Not some girl that had been pushed into the middle of things.

***

But somehow, that wasn’t the end of it. No matter how much she didn’t ever want to see him again.

Several weeks after the argument, he called her, asking her to meet up to talk. She had wanted to say no, having seen him with the girl and feeling like her heart was trying to claw it’s way out of her chest every time.

(Y/N) just wanted to avoid him, wanted to put him memory to rest as if he had died and left her a widow. But she couldn’t resist the dark curiosity, the lovely pain of being face to face with him.

He stopped by her house that weekend, with her permission.

***

Her family was at work, or shopping, or something else. It didn’t matter. All that matters was that they wouldn’t be there to hear whatever words passed between the former loves.

He stood across from her, kicking his foot nervously against the carpet. She was in the chair, glancing at him quickly before staring at her hands.

“So…” He started. “(Y/N)…”

“How is she? Your pretty girl.” (Y/N) interrupted, hearing her voice crack as she spit out the question. It left Billy at a loss for words for a second.

“She’s not… I never called her tha-” Pretty girl was always Billy’s name for (Y/N). He couldn’t believe that she thought that he would ever use it on another person. “She and I are done. We were barely even a thing.”

That surprised (Y/N). She had assumed from the last thing that he said to her that Billy’s new relationship was going to be so very happy.

“But… you said…”

“I miss you.” He sank to his knees in front of her chair, looking up at her. Entrancing her with his gorgeous blue eyes. “I never should have walked that door. Never should have argued with you.”

“You said that she was better than me.”

He looked heartbroken at her words. Fully realizing how much he had hurt her. “No, baby. No way. Nobody is better than you. It’s not true. I didn’t mean it.”

“Then when did you say it?” She could feel herself beginning to cry, holding back full sobs as to not be too loud to hear his words.

“I just couldn’t believe you thought I ever wanted to be with anyone else. I thought you had known that you were better than anything I deserved.” He knew it was a terrible excuse, but he was so sorry that he hadn’t let her know this when the argument first began. “I thought you didn’t want me anymore, that you were just pushing me onto some other girl because you didn’t want to deal with me anymore.”

“That’s not…”

“I know, I know I’m not always a great boyfriend. I’m not a great person. And the whole time we were together I was just so scared that you would realize that and leave. And so I ended up leaving instead, and it was so fucking stupid of me to do that.”

It felt so good for Billy to get that off his chest, but it felt awful to have to do it in such a terrible situation. When he had to beg the greatest love of his life to take him back after he broke her heart.

He knew she probably shouldn’t accept him. And he certainly wouldn’t blame her for telling him to never speak to him again.

Billy was aware he would never be truly happy again if she did that. Never satisfied with life. Never meeting anyone that he loved as much as her. But he wouldn’t tell her that yet, not wanting to guilt her into a relationship. Not that awful of a person.

He wrapped his arms around her as she cried, expecting her to push him away but surprised to feel her clinging to his chest.

“Tell me you won’t leave again.” He could hear her murmur, her voice muffled by his shirt.

“Oh sweetheart.” He whispered and kissed the top of her head, feeling like he was about to cry as well. “Never. You’re all I want. Nothing else.”
