For Father’s Day Billy gave Jim a hug (for the first time) for being the best dad ever to him and Jim immediately breaks into tears
Of course Billy tells his mom everything especially about his new boyfriend Steve!
sorry for being a cunt sometimes it’s just that i am one
This is lovely advice.
"Your Violence is just a silent cry for love "
Yo hello
Here's a little character analysis of Billy Hargrove and a song analysis of a German song from the 80s-90s because I've only been listening to the 80s for days thanks to my Stranger Things hyper fixation and I think the song fits Billy Hargrove really damn well. Oh also I am from germany too lol
The song is called "Schrei nach liebe" by the German punk rock band "die Ärzte". The band is one of the most famous German bands and I'm honest Billy would definitely have listened to them. Also they was very popular in the 80s and the 90s.
The song is about a fascist and is actually just a criticism of fascism and right-wing extremism. At least that's the core message of the song. However, if you analyse and interpret the lyrics more (one of my favourite hobbies lol) the song is about a person acting aggressively, behaving like an asshole because the person has never experienced love in their life and this aggression is actually just a "silent cry for love."
I even took the trouble to translate the lyrics for you. (In general, the music of the Ärzte is really great. I just don't know if it's for someone who doesn't speak German xD)

_________________________________
Billy is portrayed in the series as the cliché asshole from the 80s. He's sexist, racist and has no respect. He was shitty to Max yada yada yada... but in truth Billy is just a character who hasn't experienced love. The only love he got was from his mum who left him when he was a kid. Now he lives with his abusive father and gets to listen to how shit Billy is day in and day out. Not a great feeling. He's built walls around himself to protect himself from it all. He's a tough guy and plays the asshole so that he can't be hurt any further. Dacre Montgomery (Billy's actor) said himself that Billy is a sensitive guy. Especially in season 3, we got to see a very different side of Billy. A vulnerable side. He hurts to stop being hurt, but really he just wants to be loved
The 3rd verse in particular suits Billy very well.
It's true. Nobody in this series really cares how Billy is doing. His stepmother Susan just watches while his own father beats him. On the one hand understandable because Billy is not her biological son but on the other hand really not nice of her. And Max... ohhh Maxine Maxine.
Max and Billy's relationship is complicated. Neither of them obviously want the situation they are in at the moment. Billy never wanted a sister. Max never wanted a big brother. Yet they both care about each other. The worry when Max ran away in episode 8 season 2 was real. Especially when Billy saw that Max was alone with 3 boys and a much older one. Billy had a point during the whole confrontation with Steve. Everyone was supposed to be on Billy's side because he was right. This also brings up the theme of the song again. Billy acted with violence because that's the only way he knows. Because that's the way he was treated by his father and those around him. He could have tried to talk, but he didn't, because violence is the only language he knows.
Billy hates himself. That is obvious. He's not good enough for his father's love. He never will be. He will never be able to show enough respect and responsibility because everything he does is not good enough. People who are not happy with themselves very often project this self-hatred onto others and take out their anger and frustration on others.
I would also like to come back to the fight between him and Steve. The anger Billy showed was not directed at Steve. Before Billy turned up at the Byers', his father was shouting at him and hitting him. You saw the fear in Billy's eyes. He was crying afterwards. And then the fact that he had to cancel his date, which he was really looking forward to. And all because his sister didn't listen. She just did what she wanted without considering the consequences. That is disrespectful to her brother and she shows no responsibility.
What did Neil say to Billy in the scene? What should he have ? That's right. Respect and responsibility. He should always be respectful and responsible. And Max? She can do whatever she wants because she doesn't get punished. That's unfair. Another factor why he was angry in that scene. What happened with Steve just make the camel overflow and Steve got this pent-up anger. Of course what Billy did is not cool and what I've written here is no excuse... but Billy is always shown in the show as the bad guy and the asshole. A real monster even. Which is just complete bullshit. Billy is just a teenager who was mistreated by his father for years, never experienced love and therefore doesn't know what it is. This hatred and this anger are a cry for help. A silent cry for love.
And what I wanted to say again about the whole "Billy is a racist" thing. Yes, the Duffer brothers have confirmed that he is a racist, but they have also said that Billy is pure evil. If Dacre hadn't insisted that scene with Neil exist, then Billy would just be an asshole for no reason. In my opinion, Billy is not racist. Neil does. Billy got the idea from his father that non-white people are bad. If Neil had seen Max hanging out with a black boy, he would have freaked out. In the worst case scenario, she would also have become a victim of Neil's violence. Billy wanted to prevent that. She shouldn't suffer from Neil like he did. So he told Lucas to stay away from her. So neutralize the danger. Of course Lucas isn't a danger because he's a damn child, but he would have been dangerous if Neil had found out. Why didn't Billy just talk to Lucas? That was due to the situation. The pent up anger and all that...I've already explained it above.
I just think it's a shame that many people don't look behind Billy's hard facade. He is a complex character with far too little screen time. He did have his "redemption arc" by sacrificing himself for the children but... let's be honest, no one was really grateful to him for it. Nobody except Max and El gave a damn about him. Billy was just a teenager who was in the wrong place at the wrong time in Season 3. The Duffer brothers wanted the audience to dislike him. They should degrade him to an asshole by hook or by crook. No villain should be evil simply because they are evil.
Billy is just a misunderstood teenager who deserves better than what the Duffer brothers did to him. I would have really liked to see him in season 4.
RIP Billy ❤️
Thank you for your attention
Billy is the only character to be called a faggot by a parent. No good parent calls their kid a slur and hurts them.
Billy is a victim.
Reblog this. People seem to forget that Billy is still a teen that gets abused by his father. Again, Billy Hargrove is a victim. Stop erasing this.
i don’t know how or why but the jurassic world brainrot combined with the dbh brainrot (ft. i can’t draw heads the correct size)
Chipmunk Mentality,,,
I will forever be smiling abt this one folks xD
...should I write a second part to the story and see where it goes??
The story:
MCU Pete: I think my favourite colour is red and like a dark green
Raimi Pete: can you be more specific? For example, I really like a scarlet or burgundy red.
MCU Pete: oh!! You mean like uhmm, a bright red and a forest-ish-pinetree-ish green-
Amazing Pete: -I like the blood red that spills from my slain enemies...
MCU Pete: ...
Raimi Pete: ...
Amazing Pete: oh! And blue! :D
There's something that has been on my mind since the other day I started replaying Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
Do you remember how Peter looks when he's young? Here's a little reminder.
If you pay attention in Peter's room you can also find this
When I first took this screenshot I only intended to post it as a "It's so funny that Peter decided to put his name over the two pics he has of Harry" but then I found something else.
When Harry shows Peter the Emily-May Foundation, in their office there's a pinball machine.
If you take a closer look you'll see this:
So, my question is, do you think Harry deliberately made earth have glasses because Peter is his whole world? Or my brain is trying to make me see things where there's nothing?
~ Parksborn2017 one-shot, by: @magickizu (me)~
"Hey Pete, what's up?-"
"I.. I need help..now...", Harry was immediately on edge, as he heard his best friend and secret crush, speaking quietly from the other side of the phone.
"Where are you." Any other questions have to wait, if Peter Parker asks for help, it's more than serious.
"I'm in my Lab, at Horizon. Just- please hurry...?"
"I'll be there in five." With that the raven hung up and grabbed his glider, it'll be the fastest. Yes, his best friend knows that Harry is the Goblin, as well as he knows that the other is the Spiderman- just another reason to worry! If spiderman asks for help, instead of doing a solo trip- it's a deadly threat to the whole of new york or even more. Even though it was sorta weird... Harry could have sworn it sounded a little like a whine?
It's already late enough for the sun to set, and of course only Petey-boy is in school. All the better, no one saw Harry get there so fast. He hammered on the locked door.
"Pete! What happened!?" The door opens and the young Osborn stumbles as he rushes in, scanning the room to find... nothing. Well, except Peter that is, who's sitting at his desk with his hood up. Then the door closes.
"...promise you won't laugh..."
"wha-... What's going on-"
"Just promise, okay!?" Harry staggered a bit. was... Was that growling?!? Harry nods, still a bit red in the face from the speed he came in with. In return, Peter also nods and then takes his hood off...
"It's really, very embarrassing. I had a little accident- just don't!" The brunette pouts, as he already sees his best friend, and also secret crush, beginning to smirk. He sighs in relief and even huffs a little chuckle. It doesn't help the fact that Peter's fluffy new uhhh... Appendages? Are tugged tightly to his body, while his whole face grows bright red in absolute embarrassment. "Aaahhrg!! It was a mistake to call you! I'm sorry...", the puppy hid in his arms, crossed on his desk. He WISHES he could just sink into the ground... Well, technically maybe not the ground, since this isn't the ground floor. So how could that even work? Where does this saying even come from? From sinkholes? Must be, since the hypothetical state of super liquid was only hypothetically found later on...or did it-
-"Damn, Peter... You really had me worried for a moment there. You okay, aside that?" Harry leans against the desk, standing next to the other, who simply nods once still hidden in arms. Slowly he calms himself down, from the thoughts of what would happen if super liquid Peter would seep into the floor. "...you know, they're not that bad?? I mean, I think- ONE MIgHt think, one, that it's... -How did it happen anyway?" The raven tries to change the topic, as he feels the heat sneak onto his face of nearly admitting to finding his best friend cute. Oh boy... Harry definitely deserves a medal for surviving this evening. Especially now: the still embarrassed, but less red, pouting puppy slowly comes out of his hoodie-fortress of solitude and, god bless, his fluffy tail's slightly wagging from the implied praise. This is way too adorable, that Harry would have ever forgiven him, if it wasn't him he called first. Never ever.
"I...I took a sample of the goo, last time one of those human-animal hybrids led us to an outpost... Since there's been an uprising of those incidents lately and the composition is different from Warren's work. These guys must've based it on his work, but complicated it to make it more efficient- the core structure is at least similar enough to believe so..." He comes out more, his tail wagging casually from his little nerdy tirade, the raven could only smile at that. What a dork... His dork. "ANYWAY!!- What I meant to say is, I just managed to break it down a little, which is why these symptoms are so small apparently..."
"Okay, that explains... your situation. Did you find out anything else?"
"Uhhh.... Yes, actually! There has to be direct skin contact with the goo, for an "infection" to start and according to my calculations, these symptoms should seize after a couple hours, due to my simplifications... But I just CAN'T go home like this!! What would aunt May say!?-" Peter drifts into a little panic, but Harry on the other hand can't really concentrate on anything other than his crush looking freaking adorable. He can't get it off his mind, most definitely not, when he gets reminded with a flick of an ear, nor by their constant bouncing when the brunett gestures wildly again.
"Hey, Pete. May I.. try something?" Said person cocks his head slightly to the side, like the curious puppy he currently is and nods. And he swears- if this was an anime and not real life, he'd be in the ground already. Here lies Harry Theopolis Osborn, died of blood loss from constant nose bleeding.
He slowly reaches over to him, carefully beginning to pet the other. At first the puppy is a bit sceptical, when slowly and gradually he starts enjoying it. His tail is fully wagging, he's leaning forward and further into the other's touch. Literally, best feeling ever right now.
While Harry just can't anymore. Not only does he demand a platinum medal, a gigantic feast and ceremony, as well as a city key when this is over, for an outstanding amount of self control! He is so lost in thoughts, he doesn't realise that he stops petting, until some small whimpering breaks him free. Peter looks up at Harry with his big, green, sparkling eyes and droopy ears.
"..why did you stop..?" It really took every last ounce, drop and smudge of self restraint, not to kiss and pounce him. But instead Harry took a deep breath, couldn't help but smile and kept petting. Sure, he loves Peter, with the whole of his heart. ...which is exactly why he won't try anything that might just scare him away. Harry wouldn't know what to do, if he'd lose him in any way. So he just keeps quiet for now. His thoughts start spinning again, as Peter fully enjoys this simple touch of affection and closeness. Very quietly, the raven mumbles something under his breath:
"...you're my adorable dork..."
some guys some dudes
Randomly remembered that the german translation of Edge of Spider-Geddon (2018) made Parksborn unmistakenly canon (on Earth-44145 atleast, the dimension where Norman Osborn became Spider-Man) and I'm still absolutely baffled as to how they got away with that.
So this is the panel I'll be talking about:
This is a photo of my german copy of the comic next to the original ((sorry for the bad quality, took the picture in the middle of the night)):
It's actually a VERY small detail, you see, the translation is absolutely accurate EXCEPT. For the last THREE WORDS. They took the platonic "Love you, man" and turned it into a LITERAL "I <3 you". LISTEN, THAT'S NO WHERE NEAR BROMANCE, THAT IS STRAIGHT ROMANCE WITHOUT THE B. ESPECIALLY combined with the sentence before. "If there is an afterlife, I will do my best to tell you somehow... I love you." That is so raw, that is so emotional, istg if you don't know german, you probably don't understand how insane this is. "Ich liebe dich" isn't used for your bros, that's reserved for romantic partners and maybe MAYBE rlly close family but that's a BIG maybe bc most rather use "Ich hab dich lieb" as a variant of ily for family members. And then the little red heart. Like wtf man. I mean I'm still not over this 5 years later, it's that amazing.
And yes, let's be real there is NO Reality in which Harry Osborn is ANYTHING REMOTELY close to straight and ONLY feels platonic for his "Best Friend"!
Convince me otherwise! You can't!
sometimes I wonder if sam raimi gave franco any stage direction or just said “harry is irrevocably in love with peter”
good news harry i think that bi awakening just happened
MY ROMAN EMPIRE
Harry's first thoughts when he founds out Peter is Spider-Man in Spider-Man 2
Duuuude!! Even when you are a clone, have you ever seen clones in media?? Aside horror???
Look at freaking Ben Reily aka Scarlett Spider or Connor Kent aka Superboy they are clones- are they treated like Peter Parker or Clark Kent? No. Do they behave like Peter or Clark? No. Are they their own person? Definitely! Ben Reily is more like a big bro to Peter, while Conner kinda became Clark's son and John's brother.
Finding out you're a robot is not just "oh cool, guess I can modify myself now" it's more like "am I thinking of getting modifications or was that decision made for me?? Everything I ever thought I decided, was just a lie and fake memories, made for what exactly?? Are my emotions even real or are they just another lie created to dictate my very idea of being and keep me on the puppet strings?? Why do I even exist?? I cannot have been born but consciously crafted and perfected, what is the purpose I was planned for and why don't I know????"
You can't compare that!!
Then, and listen to this -make it all BETTER BY MAKING IT WORSE!!
if things were better, heh, well, i think that'd be pretty good
OH YES!!
Me: Listen, Brain, we need a creative and beautiful idea to draw
