i hope im not just a mutual to you but also a “why the fuck am i following this guy again”
I’m not crying you are 🥲
billy hargrove + eddie munson similar aesthetic. different paths. same end.
both like rock music/metal heads, and use music as a form of escapism. both have big permed hair. both style themselves in layers of denim and leather. both live in the poorer end of town/trailer park. both don't fit in with the norm (metalhead newbie vs d&d nerd). both have had awful childhoods/home lives. both have a necklace they wear throughout that means something to them. both have a strange opposing friendship with steve.
both end up being used as a pawn by the upside down (billy, as a vessel, turned from a town bully into a monster by the upside down, and eddie framed for the murders the upside down has caused).
both sacrificed themselves for the group.
eddie was innocent of the upside down murders in season 4. billy was guilty of being a bully but innocent of the upside down actions of season 3.
billy sacrificed himself out of pain. he had nothing for him in the real world. he had become a monster, and had hurt everyone around him, so he sacrificed himself as a way of attempting to atone. eddie sacrificed himself out of pain. he had nothing for him in the real world, as the town saw him as a monster. and he blamed himself for running, so he sacrificed himself as a way to prove that he didn't always run.
and their deaths both absolutely destroyed their younger 'sibling'; max never recovered after billy's death and dustin is struggling at the end of season four after eddie's.
#he’s a crowd favorite 💅🏻
With Stranger Things coming back, I’ve got Billy and Harringrove on the mind so here are some doodles and sketches with more taking care of a flour baby shenanigans, and Billy’s mom singing to baby Billy :)
Let👏 Steve 👏 Harrington 👏 punch👏 Neil 👏 Hargrove 👏 in 👏 the 👏 face!👏
type “i am” in the tags and whatever comes up first is your new mandatory kin
Just a quick, sincere thank you to everyone in the Harringrove fandom and all the hilarious, soft, hot, amazing content you create. Long meeting? Road trip with my family and they’re fighting? Long line at the grocery store? Trying to avoid doing chores? There’s beautiful Harringrove content for any situation, and I’m so blessed to have it all here for my consumption.
the billy fandom is like that one group of friends you always see sitting together at lunch and they seem pretty normal and cool but when you approach them, you hear someone sobbing over billy's past and you see someone else showing the whole group a picture of billy hargrove in the world's tiniest shorts, and there's someone screaming "billy has all the boyfriends ever!" and there's music but you can't tell where it's coming from and you're like "what the fuck" but then you look at the popular table and it's in flames and people are screaming at each other over ships so you just. sit with the billy fandom because they're so chill (and have amazing music taste).
