[Character Notes - Billy/RP/Mute] Stuff I’m thinking about/trying to figure out. I need to toss on a word doc at some point.]

Said this before but he’s ace-leaning (ace homoromantic but I wonder if aro is a thing with him?) Add the psychosis and, well, he’s got hang ups about the one thing and it’s not the psychosis. But with Stu he somehow doesn’t really think about his hang ups there but his version of “love”? It’s not what anyone typically wants or thinks about. He’s not really

*able to give someone what they need. Also, he’s an entitled little jerk at the same time?

I think he is. I’ll say it.

I really want to do a deep dive because he gives me NPD vibes?

Billy is not tactile but he will let Stu do whatever he wants until his patience wears thin enough. No one else gets that? It’s always in his terms with anyone else.

Reluctantly lets him if he’s in a mood and it depends on what but doesn’t like shove him off or anything. He gets kind of “the hell are you doing” and gives a look and that’s typically enough? I may need someone to fact check next

*me

100% basing his dad off of my paternal grandfather a bit but if mine was upper class conversative and actually able to network with other humans. Which means kid heard a lot of shit growing up that was messed up and would instill so many hang ups in him.

Was he hit growing up? Survey says... yeah.
He probably snuck over Stu’s a lot.

Billy doesn’t do homework unless he’s personally interested but can pass a test with barely taking notes and skimming the book.

He doesn’t give a damn about school. He only does enough to keep his dad off his back. He is just going through the motions with college.

He probably would have been on a pre-law track if his plans had gone as he planned. Not because he wants to and he’d be absolutely miserable. Maybe eventually he’d sneakily change majors - probably if he got disowned and had to pay his own way, why not at that point?

He’s an atheist. His household growing up was surprisingly secular - I think, he maybe, set foot in a church like once for a funeral.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how he’s missing crucial pieces and I feel bad for Stu a bit.

I don't think Stu minds particularly

Yeah, I don’t think so either. It’s just like as an observer it’s like “oh”. Maybe I’m just having a weird day.

when you want to play an emotionally functional human being but also you have Billy

Hahaha, that sounds about right to me. (Also, I love that Billy is just his own category of human.)

Salty Lemons 🍋 : oh wow a Wraith :3 I love DBD

:3

Ghost-Ace : Billy is a creature unto himself

Salty Lemons 🍋 : Annnnd on his own plane of existence too. I’m still trying to navigate it and it’s a dark place.

(I still need to get into DBD - not enough hours or money in the day. One day...)

(thankfully at least you don't need a lot of money, just a lot of time if you want to get dlc characters without money)

(Oh that’s good. I was worried it was a money sucker - I mean I could see myself getting frustration and throwing money eventually but it not being required is nice.)

(it CAN be, if you go out of your way to get the full packs all at once outside of the sales. but there's always sales that cut the dlc prices pretty significantly too)

Oh my god this happened:

Salty Lemons 🍋 : (honestly that sounds not bad to me? But FFXIV store stuff is always stupid expensive (the sales are meh too, money grubbing jerks) so really good sales is a plus for me?)

Yes, I play FFXIV. Right now taking a break bc life.

/patpat honestly as much as I don't like heavily pay to play lootbox mmo bullshit, if it's what sparks joy, more power to you.
