A Lot Of People Try To Explain This Without Knowing Anything About How Voice Synthesis Works, So Here's

A lot of people try to explain this without knowing anything about how voice synthesis works, so here's my breakdown on No, Hatsune Miku Is Not AI, And No, AI Voice Synthesis Is Not Bad.

Okay, thank you so much for being interested 😭 I was abit embarassed to share since I’m aware of how insane that pairing sounds! And you’re not wrong for thinking that since originally it was made as a joke, but overtime I got attatched and realised how much potential it has. But then one has to ask, “How did the joke develop?” Well, since Alex is usually either shipped with Dolly or Billy I thought it would be funny if those three were in a polycule so I called the trio Dollabill (Dolly x Alex x Billy) — very clever, yes.

I thought about it some more then realised in order to make a polycule work all members must be involved, so suddenly I had to consider what Dolly and Billy’s dynamic would be. I considered it so hard that I eventually dropped Dollabill as a whole and fixated on only Bido (Billy x Dolly).

⚠️ Personal interpretations, widowhood, loss, toxic dynamic

As for how I think it would work?… The way I always envisioned the ABiBaZ x BBEG crossover to develop is similar to how the popular “Well-Made Win” from DnB Popcorn Edition wrote it. It takes place some time after the fall of Alex’s college, where a newly-healed Alex has figured out how to leave his dimension after being sealed inside by Olivia. He leaves the college in search for new territory and stumbes upon Billy’s hotel/house. This is where the similarities with Well-Made Win end. Alex starts to target Billy and Billy being freaked out calls for a demon exorcist, this exorcist is revealed to be Olivia and her assistant, Dolly — I won’t talk about my Olivia here, but if you are interested just ask!

Now having to work together to contain such a dangerous demon, Billy & Dolly are forced to bond together. With that context out of the way, let’s skip to when they’re actually intimate.

Bad news: The whole relationship is a rebound. For Dolly it is a rebound for her grief with Alex’s death; for Billy it is a rebound for his grief with his Old Friend’s disappearance. I imagine that Dolly was drawn to Billy because of this caring paternal softness that he developed from raising a son as both parental roles. But not only that, there was an even more alluring bait: The chance to be relied on.

Dolly, despite all her good qualities, is quite selfless in a selfish way. She wanted to help Alex, but she also wanted the validation that came with helping him. She wanted to be wanted by someone and one of the most powerful ways of gaining that was through dependency. But to justify this she burdens herself with having to “take responsibility” for this dependency by doing her best to ensure that Alex will be happy. This is why Alex’s death impacted her so heavily, of course she is responsible for it, but her perception of that “responsibility” is skewed. She was responsible for turning Alex into an addict for comfort, but not for his suicide. This leads us to Billy, widowed father with self-destructive tendencies but puts up a proffesional suave facade to retain his good image and reaffirm his sanity. Target Detected. Go for his heart.

Now what about Billy?! This will be tricky to explain since you’re not familiar with BBEG, but for sake of simplicity I will pretend you do then answer whatever questions you have. Billy was drawn to Dolly because of her resillience, what a tragic history involving grief and mistreatment; a battle against the literal and figurative demons, yet despite all this she is still so compassionate and kind. This results in her being really good at caring and handling his son, which shot her up like 3 places on Billy’s teirlist. Aside from admiration there is of course, the hidden selfishness: She is good at caring for him. Not dealing with him, caring.

Billy loved his old friend/girlfriend, but being thrust into the limelight at an age where he was mentally vulnerable negatively impacted his development. Bearing this sudden responsibility to become “well-made” he became obssesed with image, and the idea that everything in life needed to be well-made. That included not just himself but also his friends, his family, his job, his everything. The praise he received for being so “well-made” was addicting, especially since growing up he didn’t have a stable source of affection — dead family, military orphanage. The only time he had one was with Old Friend, but now she’s gone and someone needs to fill that void.

Enter Dolly, an intelligent, compassionate and strong woman with an almost religious devotion to maintaining order and happiness. Target Detected. Go for her eyes.

It also definitely helps that there was already a pre-established kinship:

Both are non-human — Doll & Robot.

Both have difficulty expressing their feelings because of physical and emotional reasons — Dolly has the ability to make facial expressions at the price of her face fallinh apart. So her mouth is constantly sewn together. She is also in denial of her negative traits which doesn’t allow her to process her feelings accurately; Billy is robot who is capable of expressing emotion but chooses not to, to maintain the facade. So he uses the “Non-Emotional Creature’s” powers to nullify his feelings. He is very self-aware of his actions to the point he is terrified of himself.

Both rebounded with a carbon copy fake — Realex & Faklex; Old Friend & Girlfriend.

Yeah uh, I am very tired _:(´ཀ`」 ∠): I hope you enjoy my long explanation.

Billy is a robot; Dolly is a doll. I’m sorry, the heterosexuality is getting to me, not trying to convert you to Bido or anything but… *grips your shoulder*

where is this ship even stemming from I am genuenly curious

and get out of here with that straight stuff/jjjjjj joke

Decided to say fuck it to my congestion. Closed myself in the guest bathroom, blocked out all ventilation, turned my massive humidifier on full blast and ran myself the hottest bath i can stand.

This is my enclosure. I live here now. I have recreated the water cycle in a matter of minutes and can finally breathe.

NO FUCKING WAY.
