THIS IS A HARRINGROVE BLOG! Billy and Steve will find and love each other desperately in every universe forever and ever! Thank you

Billy came out to Steve while they are on drugs on the bathroom floor at Starcourt. They had just escaped from the Russian base under the mall floors.

They were still a tiny bit high from the truth serum and telling each other secrets.

Steve said something about how he wished that they had become friends sooner. Which prompts Billy tell him that he wished Steve would’ve looked at him the way he still looks at Nancy.

Steve is taken back and a smidge disgusted and asks why he would ever say anything like that

Billy didn’t seem disappointed, like he already knew what Steve’s reaction would be. “I just wanted you to know,” he mumbled pushing himself off the bathroom floor.

Billy “keep your enemies closer” Hargrove

they knew we were STARVIN and FED us

Wish we could get to a point where the ST fandom collectively understood that trauma isn’t just something that happened to Billy, but that it was in progress the entire time he was alive. There was no definitive end point. He didn’t have a traumatic childhood. He was having a traumatic childhood. He wasn’t abused in the past, and then just decided to hurt other people because of it. He was being abused, and he had no healthy coping mechanisms to deal with it. Billy’s life is a trauma response. He was always reacting to trauma, because he was always being traumatized. It wasn’t just incidental, and even Billy’s attempts to escape it had negative consequences. You can’t overcome something that’s still happening to you.

Every adult failed Billy.

"He should have asked for help" Who says he didn't? He probably did when he was young. Ask his own mother for help and she abandoned him. Asked teachers but they didn't care. At some point you give up and accept it. Billy never fought back because he was that terrified of his father. Not a single adult stood up for him or tried to help him. No one.

billy crying during sex is just 👌👌👌

everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye

Wait, I think I’ve got something…

Billy and his best friends 💖

tumblr needs a “not for you” page where it just has things that you disagree with and make you angry

the for you page

instead of bitching why don’t we all just be thankful ao3 doesn’t have ads xxx

steve building up this idea of billy in robin’s mind and making him out to be this big scary asshole who just goes around punching people and then robin actually meeting billy and being like .. this guy? really?
