Okay, I realize that this might be a little annoying (I’m gonna stop spamming you with my fanart after this one - I’m just „emptying“ my Procreate folder) but here’s something that I drew around the same time as the Cowboy!Jake picture.

She will put those two in horny jail as soon as the night is over.
So… I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about “life-changing writing advice” all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.
The fact of the matter is billy IS an extremely woman-coded character and all it takes is looking at how his narrative around sex and sexuality is portrayed like he gets a very classically female coded (especially within the horror genre) narrative but people just get mad when you bring it up because he’s a “terrible character who deserves bad things happening to him” which is enough to unpack in itself but also maybe y’all should inspect why you’re so quick to call Nice Guy characters woman-coded or just characters you personally like….
But also the fact I’ve seen firsthand people get mad that we say billy is woman-coded is so beyond hysterical that even if I didn’t have these thoughts already I’d start believing them just out of spite
