Would You Mind Doing A Character Analysis Of Toby? This Guy Has So Many Layers And Its Driving Me Crazy-

Would you mind doing a character analysis of Toby? This guy has so many layers and it’s driving me crazy-

Toby Billings analysis for the anon!! Also you don't have to anon!!!

Please I want to know who the Toby fan is, of the few people I know of who know him, a lot of people misinterpret him...

Thanks for asking about him!!! He's my favourite little guy!

THIS IS USING THE ORIGINAL BOOKS! NOT THE GRAPHIC NOVELS! THEY CHANGED HIS PERSONALITY AND PARTS OF THE STORY IN THE GRAPHIC NOVELS! PLEASE READ THE CANON STORY, NOT JUST THE GRAPHIC NOVELS!!!

⚠️TW: Mentions of SH and Suic!de (Canon to the story)⚠️

Basic info:

- Youngest of two

- Competitive (For a reason)

- Loves Arcade Games

- Constantly second to his older brother

- Friends with Reggie (we love Reggie on this blog)

- Occasionally has something in his mouth (toothpick)

- Nickname "Tobes" from Connor

- Bullied by his brother, blatantly

- Short fuse (also for a reason)

- Ignored by is dad unless he does something wrong.

- Not super good at school

- Basically ignored by teachers because he never lived up to his brother's shadow (kinda ironic)

- Tabitha? Was she meant to be a love interest? Not done well.

- Does not want therapy

- High School

- No friends anymore

- Nightmares :(

Ok so I clearly have a favourite because I analysed him a lot more in depth but also he's such a character. Just his basic stuff is pretty bad tbh. Lots of isolation and bullying in his own home. Doesn't seem to want help, or know how to ask for it. Does allow Tabitha to help but clearly dislikes it. The short fuse definitely comes from him watching his brother throw tantrums when he didn't win, and growing up in that household, he probably picked that up. There's a lot of issues there.

- Self image issues

- Low self esteem

- Basically abused/neglected

- Barely hesitates to harm himself to get rid of the rabbit

- Seems to go into a bit of a depressive state after Shadow Bonnie is sewn into him

- (⚠️TW⚠️)Is completely willing to scratch off his skin, and almost drown himself to get rid of the shadow

- Literally makes a list of how to get rid of it and the only thing he refused to do is to burn it off

- Cannot eat because of Shadow Bonnie

- Refuses to let Connor win, even when he tries to call off the competition

- Cracks his knuckles when he's nervous

- Doesn't trust people

- He isolated himself (which is his opinion, from other clues in the book, I feel like it was mutual)

- (⚠️TW⚠️) Literally kills himself to win

Oh boy. So a few little personality quirks, cute. But also omg the poor kid. He's very much hurt at home, no one cares. Isolates himself, but it is also probably a self preservation technique because he was definitely in some type of abuse/neglect situation. His willingness to hurt and kill himself shows a lot of underlying issues he most likely was already going through and Shadow Bonnie just brought it to a head. He suffers a lot of physical and mental trauma throughout the book and relates it back to previous trauma from before the incident.

- Mother left when he was around 5

Woo mother issues. We actually get a heck in on her in The Breaking Wheel where she is Reed and Julius's robotics teacher. She seems like she may have some mental health issues herself, with how she acts and treats them, which may explain why Toby had some underlying issues.

- Honorable mention that Reggie likes Tabitha

Toby is just a little guy and I want him to have a happy home life and I want him to be happy. He's such a guy. Scott really did him dirty tbh. But he's also a well developed character with a lot of layers and mental illness.

Tried to keep any AU and fanfiction stuff out of this.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Forgot I can post art lol

Here's one of Millie being goth and dramatic.

Tried a new style for it. She's not my favourite character but she's still cool.

Oh that's like not true at all but ok-

Also I haven't read the graphic novels because I'm mad about how they fucked up Toby's death (he doesn't kill himself and they severely messed up his personality) and how they designed Stanley.

Sadge

Omg I did not realise you were the creator of Beyond the Frights when I first saw your name-

I read a bunch of that a while ago and meant to catch up. It was super good from memory.

I came here to tell you I'm gonna finally do the character analysis on Oscar (wasn't it?) within the next week (finally going to force myself to do it and not forget lol).

Anyone else you want me to analyse while I'm at it?

HWHDWHSHHS?? Yeah I'm the Creator of Beyond the Frights, and dw- I haven't really updated it that much in the Last two Months, so you didn't miss a whole lot. Thank you tho!!

And Uhhhh- Maybe an Analysis on Raj and Isaac would be Fun If you're going to be Deep Diving into Out of Stock anyway

Plus I neeeeeeeed more people to understand my Vision about how they're Actually not the Same at all and Aren't Copies of other characters-

do you watch spooky month?

Bestie you have my discord-

But no I do not.

Sup dudes I forgot I can post here again.

Here's a drawing I did of Jack'o'Moon

He's such a bby. He also probably smells like corn.

It took so long 😭

(it's been so long)

I made Jeff the killer as a cookie from memory... this is the funniest thing I have ever made
