This is my first and probably last post I will ever make. I’m here to consume the content, not necessarily create it.

I see all of you fighting the good fight for Billy and his story. And I wanted to add my thoughts into the ring.

As someone who works with children and adults from abusive backgrounds EVERY SINGLE DAY. I can tell you that Billy checks every single box for being in his survival state 24/7.

I have had extensive trainings about trauma, how to recognize it and the effects it can have on a person and how they act. Personally I have endured a lot of trauma myself and had to unlearn a lot of unhealthy behaviors and ways of thinking because of it.

With that being said: someone who is in a state of survival constantly is not capable of thinking rationally, the only goal is to…survive.

Billy Hargrove was an abused child. A CHILD. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Does this forgive his actions? No. But it explains them. Gives us a deeper insight into the “why?”

Neil hit his son, he insulted him, called him a slur and then reminded him that Max, his younger stepsister’s well-being is in his hands. That’s a lot for a 17 year old to go through. Then he goes to the Byers residence where he’s insulted and lied to. His sister (who’s well-being is in his hands) is alone with 5 boys, one of them is his age? THEN to top it all off, Steve punches him? All that built up rage from what just happened with Neil comes spilling out. Oh and to make matters worse, he gets sedated and Max MIRRORS Neil’s abuse by making him repeat himself. Keep this in mind, while all this is going on Billy has absolutely no idea what is going on. He still doesn’t know what Max is doing with all of these boys in this house.

Moving forward- Billy gets possessed by the mind flayer, he still has no idea what is going on and loses control of his own body. He had to watch as his hands take the lives of many people to feed this creature from his worst nightmares. Then this group of children lock him in a sauna, he is FINALLY able to beg for help and sobs. Even then NOBODY tells him what’s going on, no one really makes an effort to help him. It’s only in the final episode of season 3 that El breaks through to him, she see’s his past, his mom leaving, the abuse. Even standing up to the mind flayer Billy has no idea what he’s up against, he’s still in the dark. All he knows is that it’s him or this child that showed him how to come back to himself. It’s him or Max, and as we already know Max’s well-being is in his hands. Nothing is more terrifying than Neil’s wrath. And in his dying breath he apologizes.

For my fellow Billy Stans- Please never let anyone bully you about what characters you can and can’t like. Your ability to see deeper into the characters and push past the hate is needed in this world. Not just in fiction, but in the real world. If you relate to Billy as I do, from past trauma, I am so sorry. I am so very sorry that you have to fight, explain and rationalize your love for him every time. For whatever reason you stand behind Billy Hargrove, it is valid. And unlike Billy’s story, I hope that yours doesn’t end in tragedy. My inbox is always open for those who need to talk.

Now, for the Antis- I want to say, good for you. You managed to take a broken and deeply complex character and reduce him to a heartless villain in your minds. Think what you want about him, it really doesn’t matter. What does matter is how you act to the people who do relate to Billy. The name calling, the hate, the wild assumptions about real people!! It’s so insane to me. I hope that turning into the bully to make a point was worth it. How other people relate to a character doesn’t affect you in any way at all. Somehow many of you have managed to put people down and make them afraid to express their love for a character. It’s not something to be proud of.

I am not willing to argue with anyone on this, this is just my views and my opinion. Dacre Montgomery stated that he worked hard to humanize Billy Hargrove. Seeing his character be dragged through the mud and continuously be turned into the irredeemable monster by the Duffer Brothers and the fans is just really sad.

Billy Hargrove means a lot to me. For a lot of different reasons. He deserved so much more than he was given. He deserved a chance to redeem himself and to tell his side of the story. He deserved a chance to apologize for everything he did in his survival state. He deserved the chance to finally be happy and be surrounded by people who actually cared for him, who wanted to help him.

Just keep going everyone. ❤️

What if the Harringtons show up one day and Billy is in the kitchen in just sweatpants and making coffee and they have no idea who Billy is because they've been away so long and they're all, excuse me, who are you and why are you in our house, you need to leave this instant before I call the police. And Steve comes down the stairs, wrapped in a sheet, hickeys all over, and he's like, can you not call the cops on my husband thank you.

AU where the age gap between the older teens are way bigger and Steve’s a twenty something kindergarten teacher and he has to call little 5 years old Max’s parents because she keeps making the boys in class cry (The Party). Turns out Max’s only legal guardian is Billy, her hot older (also twenty something) brother, and Steve’s absolutely head over heels for him whenever Billy grins and flirt with him.

And from then on Billy would always come in the school to pick up Max and see Steve in his cute kindergarten teacher clothes with an apron full of handprints of little kids.

Somehow Max gets even into more troubles and Steve has to call Billy to school to talk to him over and over at least every week, to the point they end up fucking in Steve’s classroom one time.

In the end it’s revealed that Billy lets Max eat ice creams whenever she gets Billy to come talk to the “hot” teacher at her kindergarten.

The Duffers were like “Billy’s gonna be an irredeemable one-dimensional bully” and then they hired Dacre, a mentally ill guy with admitted issues with a parent who actually had been bullied growing up, to play Billy and he was like hmm…. Maybe That’s Not Cool to Reduce A Person Down to “Irredeemable,” Especially a Teenage “Bully”… so he added depth to the character and acted his heart out, and people attack him for that as if he’s the problem for recognizing that people like Billy could be suffering and their stories deserve to be told.

i’m on team billy hargrove loving max more than he’d ever loved anyone else and pushed her away to keep himself from getting hurt because the last time he loved someone like that, she left him.

It’s almost halloween 👁👄👁🔪🩸

[dumbassbakugo]

Have y’all considered that… The Duffers… as white men… are the problem for wanting a “human antagonist” to call Lucas racial slurs for shock value? (Just like they wanted Steve to be a r*pist). Have you considered that them doubling down on Billy being irredeemable as an abused teenager who died saving everyone’s lives… makes The Duffers… the problem, and not the abuse survivors who relate to Billy and hoped he had the opportunity to recover and make amends? Have you considered that they have a history now of using trauma for fun while perpetuating very harmful ideas about survivors? Or, do you just let your Daddy Duffers think for you? 🤔

Realising that my boyfriend acts kinda like Eddie and has long hair like him and plays dnd like him and is somewhat of a metal head… holy shit mfer is so fucking hot. And the fact that I had a fixation on Eddie when I was just friends with him. Holy shit I’m such a stupid little gay boy.

Billy resenting his mother for leaving him in an abusive situation and never looking back🤝 Billy yearning for his mother and forgiving her

Billy hating his dads guts and wanting nothing more then for him to DIE 🤝 Billy still wanting to have his dad since he’s the only parent he has left and he longs for his dad to just love him

things that coexist in my mind 24/7

Realising again that I am a Jinx kinnie again is a ride. Realising that I have so many more abandonment issues that I thought that I’ve had before because I’ve made a friend that is my favourite person that I don’t want to let go and don’t want to see walk away and that I would do anything for. Right now with how my mind is the only thing that makes sense to me at the moment is Jinx’s character. Her paranoia, abandonment issues, attachment anxiety and possessiveness over the ones she cares about and trauma. It hurts relating to her but just rewatching it repetitively at the moment is the only thing that makes sense.
