It wasn't particularly cold that night, the fire burning away so close warming the air but the world felt frozen. Steve felt frozen. He walked, talked and sat as he was asked to. Signed the same document for the third time, his voice wrapped up by who knows what section of the government but he would tell no one what he knew or saw. Not that they would believe him. Eventually, he was allowed to leave but when he was offered a lift he declined.

He needed to walk. His legs cried for the comfort of a car seat but he denied himself such a thing as he started his long way home by foot. Turning each corner with the same exhausted sigh of numbness he couldn't shake. A feeling buried so deep he couldn't even attempt to find its roots so he walked and walked until finally just as the sun broke over the clouds he found himself stood before the large red door of his home and stepped inside.

At first he was greeted by his mother, concerned and crying at the fact he was alright but he was far from that. His father was angry, confused as to how he had gotten himself in such a mess and gone missing for so long but the state of his face and the look in his eyes kept his lips sealed shut for the time being. That numb pulse still hiding as he climbed the stairs, his parents telling him to get some rest and he nodded. He just had to make it to his room, close the door and crawl into bed like this was just a terrible nightmare but he didn't make it that far.

The door was shut, the morning light seeping through the blinds to illuminate his room just enough for him to catch a glimpse of the yellow sweatshirt thrown over the chair by his bed. That right there was the moment he had been waiting for, expecting.

His legs gave way and soon he found himself silently screaming into the beige carpet, tears streaming down his cheeks but not a sounds left his lips. His forehead pushed into the fibres until he could feel it burning against his skin, his fingers aching from trying to clutch at the short loops. Knees marked by the carpet, back hunched and head pounding from the crying. Yet, he couldn't stop.

A flood gate had finally been opened and Steve didn't know if he had the strength to close it, his body exhausted and his heart breaking. Eventually, he must have passed out because hydrated, sore and confused he awoke on the floor with the numbness gone completely but in its place was grief of a kind he had never known and he knew it wouldn't sit and wait in the shadows for its moment. No, it would follow him for the rest of his days because Billy was gone...well and truly gone.

Flayed Billy fucking Steve is something I really thought there would be more of

[intothedysphoria-deactivated202]

My biggliest apologies but respectfully I relate too much to Steve for him to be a top- he is a bottom who gets extremely stressed by the idea of being in charge of anything but the kids

(I do respect bottom Billy and Eddie truthers as well, I personally don’t see it but you guys are cool)

One reblog = one punch in the face for Neil Hargrove

[memes-saved-me]

Why would I send myself asks lmao and to assume poc can't like a character is pretty racist if you ask me. Any poc Billy fans out there wanna say something?

Harringrove YouTube AU:

Internet famous YouTuber Steve Harrington is popular for his review videos and fun vlogs with over one million followers. Despite making videos regularly he keeps a lot of his personal life private and features only a few of his friends in his videos.

Another YouTuber called Billy Hargrove usually posts surfing videos and work out videos with the odd vlog. Fans of Billy know he's seeing someone but so far all they've seen of them is their hands and if you listen closely sometimes their voice.

With Billy growing a larger and larger audience fans start to notice the similarities in locations of their favorite content creators.

Billy has been confirmed to be racist, it's racist to pretend he's not

theres only so many times the fandom can answer this - if you’re poc and/or if you see him as racist then that’s fine that’s how you see it and i won’t argue that.

but if you instead can look at him holistically as a character and understand that as an abuse victim he’s acting in the only way he knows how in order to keep himself safe (aka telling max not to hang out with a black kid cos his dad will beat him up) then that’s also fine.

no one is sitting here celebrating a racist billy. every billy fan has analysed his interactions and come to terms with the fact that he’s being abused and it’s manifesting in anger and in some situations it comes out as racist because he is acting in the only way he knows to convince max to listen to him. he’s terrified of his dad beating him up. he’ll do whatever he can to avoid another hit.

and this, this false mirroring in order to survive, is very common in childhood abuse victims.

but anyway, dacre said he didn’t play billy as racist. so if the duffers wrote him as a racist, that wasn’t what we saw on screen because he didn’t play it that way. and yes caleb said billy was a racist but caleb didn’t play billy - caleb is allowed to feel that billy is racist of course, and i won’t argue that, but that wasn’t dacre or billy’s intention. caleb and anyone can have that opinion of billy and i won’t argue it, but there is more to billy than that.

did he act in a way that could be perceived as racist? yes. but is he a racist at heart? in my opinion, no. and that’s why it’s okay to enjoy him as a character because no one who likes billy is celebrating him as a racist nor do we perceive him like that. he’s a messed up abused kid acting in a way that comes across as racist and antagonistic in order to survive.

call me racist all you want but all i am doing is empathising with a character who’s trying to survive in a hostile home environment.
