Billophane is kind of hilarious from Amos's point of view because imagine you've finally cut things off with your ex-wife who cheated on you, regularly lied to your face, and led you through a literal song-and-dance trial with the help of the admittedly-charismatic celebrity lawyer you paid for and now you're thinking "Alright, I am officially done letting attractive people manipulate me."

And then that same lawyer casually tap-dances back up to you like "Hi Andy :)" and suddenly you are no longer done letting attractive people manipulate you

Never really been in rarepair hell like this before.

I can usually find at least a few active posters for my ships, but the chicago fandom is DESERTED, and the only Billy/Amos shippers that I've found traces of ever existing are on now-inactive ao3 accounts. Zero tumblr posts other than mine, and exactly fourteen fics, most of which are drabbles and all of which I've now read.

Now, because I'm apparently the only current active member of this ship's community, I'm going to start calling it "Billophane," because I think that's silly and cute and nobody can stop me. As long as I'm in rarepair hell alone I might as well decorate it how I like

If I knew anything about music I would write a piano song in the style of Chicago that uses both the Mr Cellophane and Razzle Dazzle leitmotifs because that's basically how you make musical theater characters kiss each other

You know you're past the point of no return when you start reading that one The Frog and the Scorpion post and thinking about your rarepair.

(Also if you haven't read that post go read it. It changed my life, I had to sit down the first time I saw it.)

The thing about musical theater rarepairs is that if you don't have any content about them you can just play their songs one after the other on loop for hours and think about them so hard that stuff around your room starts levitating

Amos walking around all day very conscious of the fact that he smells like Billy's cologne and praying that nobody wonders why (none of his coworkers at the garage even notice, obviously)

Billy entertaining himself by just casually complimenting Amos and watching Amos try and figure out whether that was supposed to be a hidden insult or not. Or whatever
