I just realized something.
Steve Harrington is older than Billy by at least a year.
That makes the situation from season two seem so much worse.
So, his thirteen-year-old sister goes missing, snuck out of her room and no one knows where she is. He has to go from one house to another like a pinball- and at one of those houses, a woman in her forties is clearly into him, a minor, but we won't get into that now other than that probably puts him on one hell of an edge- to this house that looks abandoned in the middle of the woods. He can see his sister in the window, briefly.
And then a senior steps out. Steve is a senior in high school, older than Billy, maybe even eighteen, and he has a past of being a playboy. Then, when Billy asks if Steve has seen his sister, knowing damn well she's in the house, Steve lies. And keeps lying.
Alarm bells intensify.
All he does is put Steve on the ground before he walks in. The house is a wreck, there's no actual adult in sight (if Joyce or Jim had been there, he probably would have cooled down. Jim would still raise alarm bells, but he's an actual adult, a parent, so he's better than King Steve Harrington,) and Max, who is thirteen, is the only girl in the house.
His thirteen-year-old sister went missing and he found her- needing to look for kids he knew she hung out with- in a decrepit house- home to Jonathan Byers, who still has a reputation as a creep and Billy isn't sure how deserved that reputation is- in the middle of the woods at night with a group of guys and a man older than Billy who has a playboy rep and who lied about her being there and actively tried to keep Billy from going inside.
Billy doesn't know what's going on. That's the situation he walks into.
Can you imagine? I would have freaked out, too.
Because he's a teenager from California, he knows that this situation is all kinds of suspicious. He knows that Max is a child in a situation with a billion red flags she may not be old enough to see. But he sees them. He sees that she's been out for gods know how long and no one knows where she is. He knows that this house looks like a drug house or an abandoned house from the outside and that there's clearly something incredibly weird happening in this house. He knows that King Steve is an adult who lied to him and tried to keep him from getting inside to talk to his sister. And that his very young sister is the only girl in the house.
All upside-down context removed, that's a horrifying situation.
Since you're both a racism apologist and too stupid to do math. Billy was 18 years old when he died. He would have graduated the same time as Steve. You are very dumb. "By at least a year" no you're just confusing the fanon you guys all made up for a racist guy who abused his sister and terrorized her friends because he was racist. If you're gonna continue being a dumb cunty piece of shit with bad racist takes at least learn how to do fucking math instead of having the mental capacity of a blueberry fucking muffin.
Pathetic as shit frankly.
wow love people making steve seem like the threatening person when billy is racist and has tried to run over the kids before but nah knowing yâall people you like the fact that billy almost ran over the kids with his car. you billy stanâs probs fucking enjoyed it tbh. âsteveâs a year older so heâs more threateningâ idk i would be more threatened by the fact that max faced demodogs that she found out existed and didnât believe were real until this moment but at the prospect of billy coming sheâs terrified and wide eyed. iâd be more scared that a teenage girl has that much of a reaction to billy vs steve just being older. which btw if he cared about max he would ouldve gotten her out of the house but nope he attacks the only black person there. wonderful how you can change canon as much as possible to seem like steve is in the wrong when billy actively was a threat and was trying to kill all of them. but anyway fuck out of here with your racist apologistic ass
So, you have no younger siblings, I see. From Billy's point of view, Steve was absolutely a threat.
Also, Steve was white. What happened with Lucas was another issue entirely that I did not bring up in the original post.
Take a chill pill and repeat after me; I'm not saying he was right, I'm just saying I understand.
And we're saying that a quick perusal through your blog and your obsession with Billy makes you a racist apologist lmao and you should take a chill pill and also feel. I have younger siblings and would never behave like Billy because unlike you I think abusing them is wrong. You're wilfully misinterpreting the scene to give Billy the most leeway possible for his actions. He wouldn't have given a shit even if something gross was going on with Max because he doesn't give a shit about Max. He's already mad at her for fucking up his date the only thing he wants is to take her home because otherwise he'll get his ass beat by his dad again. He's also already looking to pick a fight with Steve over some macho one sided pissing contest that he invented in his own head. You're genuinely DELUSIONAL with the way you're bending over backwards to act like Billy is a normal nice guy stumbling into a weird situation. Max hears Billy is there and she's more afraid than she was over literal interdimensional monsters. The fact that Billy's first reaction is to hurt LUCAS is because he's racist and told Max to stay away from him and now he wasted his night trying to find her when she was with the little black boy Billy hated for being black. I'm sorry you're too stupid to think racism ends and begins at slurs but if you think Billy is in the right at all in this situation and you can empathize with it then you're just deluding yourself into believing a false narrative you've invented in your own head in order to excuse why it's okay to get all wet and giggly over him. Also oh my gosh stop swearing it's so scary thank God you tagged for that so I was ready. Cunt.
My... obsession? Bruh I have three posts about him and I have said MAYBE two things about what happened with Lucas.
I think you're the one a bit obsessed, and you're yelling at me for something that isn't even an issue on Wednesday morning and you're cussing at me and calling me names over a fictional character when you didn't even read the post.
I would appreciate if you would speak to me kindly and not post such bad-faith takes which are genuinely harmful on the internet.
lmao you're posting bad faith arguments for billy why shouldn't we do the same for you. you receive kindness when you're not a racist.
