So fuckin adorable

homo dorks

This is a list of Billy/harringrove blogs who make me spontaneously combust if they even look at me because normalise freaking the fuck out (in a positive way) over other peoples blogs (yous are all like celebrities to me ily) also I’m still recovering from the hell that was yesterday

Starting of strong with my actual friends who I know very well now

@hargrove-mayfields I don’t really subscribe to the idea of perfection but if I did I’d definitely use it to describe EJ. I’m honestly struggling to think of anything I haven’t already said to her but she is kind, her fics read like a storybook, the amount of empathy she has for Billy is indescribable, the way she treats her friends is beautiful and I feel so so blessed to have her in my life and to call her my best friend. Ilysm.

@shieldofiron Saf! God what can I say about Saf that I or literally anyone else in this fandom haven’t said like 1 million times before. We obviously know how smart and funny she is because of her memes and how talented of a writer she is because of her fics but Saf is also an incredibly sweet, generous and patient person. I consider it as truly a privilege to be her friend.

@dragonflylady77 aaaaaaaaaaaa Guin! You’re such a lovely person I genuinely cannot believe it. Like the conversations we’ve had never cease to put a smile on my face. You are an amazing writer, a beacon of positivity in this fandom and also one of the main reasons I stayed in this fandom after the difficult patch earlier this year. Everyone go send Guin the nicest ask right now, she deserves it.

@ratbastardbilly *inhales* I still have no idea how we’re friends because you’re so much cooler than me and genuinely a pillar of this fandom with your art but I’m so glad that we are friends because you’re such a genuine and caring person ily. The first word that comes to mind is just special. Genuinely

@adelacreations share the talent with the rest of us why don’t you/j. I again have no idea how I’m friends with Add because they are much cooler than me but I again just feel privileged to be their friend. They are so down to earth and cool, along with everything that they put out into the fandom and just like thank you for being a harringrover and I’m so glad I met you.

@thatgirlwithasquid I see Squids self deprecating reblogs whenever I do one of these posts so I’m just gonna say it- everything you see with Squids blog is what you get when you talk to them in a more private setting in the best way. As well as being an exceptionally talented artist and writer, Squid will just talk to anyone, no questions asked and will always be so kind about it when they do, so like accept that you’re awesome dude.

@thissortofsorcery Gabi!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve only known Gabi for like a month but when I say I already treasure her with my entire being. As well as writing fics of that incredibly high standard, I also just love how fucking kind she is, commenting on every fic I tag her in even tho she knows I’m gonna forget to answer. It might be the autistic hivemind thing where autistic folks are just very upfront and direct with their compliments but like omg, Gabi’s brand of sweetness is something else. Such an amazing new friend I can’t.

@half-oz-eddie Ivy’s blogs joy is actually infectious, genuinely get the goofiest grin on my face whenever I check it. Ik tumblrs being really frustrating for him rn so I just wanted to say to him how much I value his friendship, his memes, his fics and the joy he brings to this fandom.

@brightside-of-the-upsidedown Harle you absolute gem you are just the best person. I love your writing, being able to talk to you, just being able to be in the same space as you is an absolute pleasure.

@femmebilly you’re so magical and chaotic and wonderful and I’m so glad that we’re friends because talking to you makes my fandom experience just that tiny bit better. Your writing makes me lose all chill ever.

Mutuals who I have no idea how I have no but you’re all amazing

@metalscoops I’d just like to personally thank you for how ridiculously kind you’ve been to me over the past few days, knowing that I was having a rough time. Both the art and writing are just chefs kiss I am staring ferally at both transmasc and transfemme Billy. Also I’m 100% writing Jewish Steve for you, we don’t get enough rep in any fandom especially not this one and Jewish harringrove is so incredibly special to me.

@robthegoodfellow I would also like to thank you for how kind you’ve been to me over the last couple of days, it really means a lot to me. I can’t with the fics they’re so good aaaaaa but also like you’re such a genuinely good hearted and lovely person I can’t believe our paths only officially crossed on like, Wednesday.

@gracegrove Jess I’d just like to thank you for how encouraging you’ve been as a presence on my blog for the last few months. I haven’t always been able to respond because of my disabilities or my mental health but I always appreciate you reaching out to check that I’m doing ok. Your posts do a lot for the Billy fandom but also knowing the work you strive to do for individuals in the fandom as well really means a lot

@thediktatortot Lou Ik you’re on a bit of a tumblr break either now or soon so this can be here when you come back. Just thank you. I can’t even with how amazing both your contributions to the fandom are, especially with your art but also the way you have so much patience and genuine affection for people in this fandom. It’s something I’ll always admire about you.

@discodeviant Disco I cannot believe how many of these stupid fucking posts you’ve responded to with nothing but kindness and sincerity and I still can’t believe we’re mutuals because you’re such an amazing fic writer but like your responses to these posts have genuinely made such a difference. Really.

@yikesharringrove I just. I can’t. I spent so much of last summer alone, in bed waiting for my a level results to come, reading your fics on ao3 and here. It is absolutely surreal that we’re mutuals now I cannot believe it and you’ve been so genuinely nice to me I’m just like fanboy mode rn. The thought of punk Steve has taken over my brain forever I love him.

@neonponders Also just, amazing fics aside, you’re such a genuinely lovely person I can’t believe it. The amount of my fics I’ve seen with just like the sweetest tags from you I can’t.

@harringrovest Well firstly, thank you so much for your ask this morning I loved it. And second I’ve loved getting to know you more over the last couple of weeks and seeing how genuinely sweet you are, especially with headcanons around disability. You’re an amazing writer but I’m sure you already know that and yeah. I’d love to get to know you more.

@hephaestn you feel like the kind of person you could just sit outside a cafe with for hours having finished the drinks ages ago and just talk about nothing and everything at the same time. Your writing feels ethereal and I’m absolutely in love with it.

People who are just like- I just freak out over in general and have somehow managed to deal with me tagging me in so many of these without like…….decapitating me idk

@akioukun I have been in love with your art for forever so seeing you respond to my tags so sweetly really just made my month. I’m sorry for being so horrendously fucking awkward but I just think that you and what you do for this fandom is truly incredible.

@bigdumbbambieyes Bambi I cannot comprehend how you have been so nice to me every single time I do one of these, especially for the past week or so. It really says a lot about how genuinely kind you are as a person. I still can’t believe how good your writing is but also just your attitude towards everyone in this fandom is something I genuinely aspire towards.

@ihni I just- how. How are you this nice and this talented and this much of a credit to our fandom I just. I may have freaked out a little bit when I saw you respond to my ask. Just a tad. But you’ve been so fucking sweet throughout all of it and I was flicking through your AO3 before I was even posting so yeah, this means a lot.

@toast-ranger-to-a-stranger I just……..you’re just…………you’re so incredibly cool and sweet and kind hearted and I can’t believe you’ve dealt with me tagging you in so many of these without going full AHS on me. I don’t think I can fully describe what both your writing and your presence in this fandom means to me. So just. Yeah.

@catharrington zero chill when I saw you’d reblogged a couple of my fics because your writing is exquisite and my dyslexia means I have spelling mistakes in everything I write. I can’t put into words what you do to this fandom. It’s like too big of a feeling for me to even describe.

@fizzigigsimmer Ik you’re taking a bit of a tumblr break as well so hopefully this is something nice when you come back. Your writing really does something to me emotionally but then knowing that one of your favourite writers is so kind to people as well really just puts it in another level. You’re incredible.

@harringroveera I’ve been following your main so long that knowing that you both know of my existence and have such a positive perception of me feels unreal, especially when you are just the most spectacular person both memes and personality wise.

@captainrexshusband I can’t believe how many fandoms you post about that I already love but just to keep it vaguely on topic your harringrove posts are absolutely hilarious. Seeing you take the time to respond to my posts and do it with such a lovely attitude made my day.

//TIME IS TICKING.

WE ONLY HAVE A FEW DAYS UNTIL KOSA IS DETERMINED. THERE IS A HUGE AUDIENCE OF PEOPLE TRYING TO PASS THIS BILL, BUT THE INTERNET IS BIGGER!

WE NEED ALL THE SUPPORT WE CAN GET.

CALL REPRESENTATIVES, TELL FAMILY, FRIENDS, MOOTS, LITERALLY EVERYONE YOU CAN.

IF THE BILL PASSES, THE INTERNET WILL BE CHANGED AS WE KNOW IT. IT WILL NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE US. MANY FANDOM SPACES ARE IN AMERICAN DOMAIN.

YOU WILL NOT BE SAFE FROM USING A DIFFERENT EMAIL, ACCOUNT, ANYTHING. STOP BELIEVING THAT. THIS BILL WANTS CONTROL AS FAR BACK AS TRACING US BACK TO NAMES, AGES, GOVERNMENT IDS AND LICENSE PLATES.

YOU WILL NOT BE SAFE BECAUSE, “OH THIS BILL CAN’T PASS IT VIOLATES THE 1ST AMENDMENT!”. THEY HAVE PASSED UNCONSTITUTIONAL BILLS. YOU WILL NOT BE SAFE BECAUSE “OH, THIS BILL HASN’T PASSED FOR 2 YEARS!” THEY ARE AGGRAVATED. THEY ARE PUSHING FOR THIS BILL.

DO NOT FORGET KOSA MERELY BECAUSE A LACK OF UPDATES. I NEED YOU TO SIGN PETITIONS, CALL REPRESENTATIVES. DONT FORGET. I WANT YOU TO MAKE AS MUCH NOISE ABOUT KOSA POSSIBLE. DO NOT. FORGET. WE HAD THE TIME TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT KOSA, AND YET WE FORGOT BECAUSE OF A LACK OF UPDATES. THAT BRIEF TIME WAS NOT A COOLDOWN PERIOD. IT WAS A TIME TO KEEP KOSA TRENDING.

STOP GOING ON TIKTOK, COMMENTING “B00ST” AND THEN CALLING IT A DAY. YES THAT HELPS, BUT YOU NEED TO DO WHAT 90% OF THESE VIDEOS WANT YOU TO DO. SIGN PETITIONS. CALL REPRESENTATIVES. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS POST ABOUT KOSA YOURSELF.

Not as glamorous as the manga or anime but they kept it 👌

My Eddie Munson Ref Post

Eddie’s tattoos~ the artists did an awesome job with these! I really appreciate small details like these; most aren’t ever fully visible in show, but they add a lot of character depth. Originals were posted on Amy L Forsythe’s instagram account, I just sketched the little placement maps.

The rings on his left were easy to find via Google. Those models have been made and sold for a long time and this style is still popular in metal and biker aesthetics. The ring on his right hand is more obscure; I was able to find a handful of lookalikes, but not with the same stone, or more inlaid stone work…? If anyone else digs deeper and finds out more about it, leave me info and I’ll edit the post 🙂 But as it is, simple observance and good close up shots make great refs.

The button style pins on the jacket are easy to find, plenty of independent artists remake these on Etsy if you can’t find officially licensed ones. W.A.S.P. ‘s metal pin may only be available/easier to find through officially licensed sellers, just ‘cause ya know, metal pins are a little harder to make than button pins. But! All bands are still currently active, so that also makes things easier for those looking to actually buy 🙂

These pages may seem a little redundant, but I wanted to include actual shots for placement notes and good clear individual shots of the patches for drawing reference ; a lot of the scenes are dark, people are moving around, etc. and a few of the patches are on the sides of the jacket, they’re not fully visible a majority of the time anyway. Most of these can be found pretty quickly and easily on the internet, like the pins. Even the Dio shirt should still be easy enough to obtain for a cosplayer, although a special vintage shirt was donated to the team for wardrobe. Iron Maiden and Megadeth are still active, Dio and Motörhead are not, though.

So, here we have a nice little collective post! Hope this helps some other artists/cosplayers/fans and saves you some time digging on your own. This was a lot of fun to do!

20 Jul ‘22 ~ Mad

Person A: "I'm a badass."

Person B, happily brushing A's soft hair, pinching their cheeks pink, then cradling A's pretty head to their chest with a million watt smile: "I know sweetheart, you're the baddest of the asses."

"What do you reckon, Dacre?"

Adorable ❤
