Yeah That Works - Tumblr Posts
Okay, I'm just gonna be reeealll straight and honest with y'all here-
Billford.
Warning: I'm not going to tag this post, because there aren't any actual spoilers in it, but these were my thoughts after reading it. Read if ya want.
I, personally, never shipped it. I also never had a problem with others shipping it. I respected it and still do. Perhaps more now. It was sort of a "whatever, do what you want, like what you like, don't care" ship for me. BUT!
NEVER, in a million years, did I think the Book of Bill would get me into it rather than the goddamn fandom.
Okay, let me be more specific here...
I didn't see them as properly being in a relationship. It's not my OTP or anything like that, and it sure as hell wasn't healthy or sweet.
Bill was abusive, and Ford was a victim.
But I do believe that, despite using him, Bill actually felt connected with Ford, and they had some good times... And he was real upset when the only person he felt that connection with left him.
That doesn't make it any less toxic or wrong.
I wouldn't say I ship it now, per se, but I definitely see it, because it feels canon.
To me, it was a one-sided, maybe-romantic thing with Bill, and he was hurt. This does not excuse the fucked up shit he did.
Maybe it wasn't truly romantic, but there was some element in there, if you ask me.
To anyone who disagrees and thinks it definitely was or definitely wasn't romantic-- Alright! You're entitled to your own opinion.
But, y'all, I did not expect the Book of Bill to be about Bill and Ford's toxic yaoi, and hell, I'm not opposed.
It was great, I cannot explain more how much I fucking loved reading it.
