Couldn’t Help Myself?

I need him

Had the silly idea for Monster Billy in a dakimakura pose. Who wants to cuddle this cute monster boy?

There's a saucy version of a much needier Billy on my Pätreon~ (link on my pinned post!)

This is Yakul the MoneyCat No. 20. Reblog and all your wealth gained by reblogging other money posts will be multiplied by 20.

This is a list of Billy/harringrove blogs who make me spontaneously combust if they even look at me because normalise freaking the fuck out (in a positive way) over other peoples blogs (yous are all like celebrities to me ily) also I’m still recovering from the hell that was yesterday

Starting of strong with my actual friends who I know very well now

@hargrove-mayfields I don’t really subscribe to the idea of perfection but if I did I’d definitely use it to describe EJ. I’m honestly struggling to think of anything I haven’t already said to her but she is kind, her fics read like a storybook, the amount of empathy she has for Billy is indescribable, the way she treats her friends is beautiful and I feel so so blessed to have her in my life and to call her my best friend. Ilysm.

@shieldofiron Saf! God what can I say about Saf that I or literally anyone else in this fandom haven’t said like 1 million times before. We obviously know how smart and funny she is because of her memes and how talented of a writer she is because of her fics but Saf is also an incredibly sweet, generous and patient person. I consider it as truly a privilege to be her friend.

@dragonflylady77 aaaaaaaaaaaa Guin! You’re such a lovely person I genuinely cannot believe it. Like the conversations we’ve had never cease to put a smile on my face. You are an amazing writer, a beacon of positivity in this fandom and also one of the main reasons I stayed in this fandom after the difficult patch earlier this year. Everyone go send Guin the nicest ask right now, she deserves it.

@ratbastardbilly *inhales* I still have no idea how we’re friends because you’re so much cooler than me and genuinely a pillar of this fandom with your art but I’m so glad that we are friends because you’re such a genuine and caring person ily. The first word that comes to mind is just special. Genuinely

@adelacreations share the talent with the rest of us why don’t you/j. I again have no idea how I’m friends with Add because they are much cooler than me but I again just feel privileged to be their friend. They are so down to earth and cool, along with everything that they put out into the fandom and just like thank you for being a harringrover and I’m so glad I met you.

@thatgirlwithasquid I see Squids self deprecating reblogs whenever I do one of these posts so I’m just gonna say it- everything you see with Squids blog is what you get when you talk to them in a more private setting in the best way. As well as being an exceptionally talented artist and writer, Squid will just talk to anyone, no questions asked and will always be so kind about it when they do, so like accept that you’re awesome dude.

@thissortofsorcery Gabi!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve only known Gabi for like a month but when I say I already treasure her with my entire being. As well as writing fics of that incredibly high standard, I also just love how fucking kind she is, commenting on every fic I tag her in even tho she knows I’m gonna forget to answer. It might be the autistic hivemind thing where autistic folks are just very upfront and direct with their compliments but like omg, Gabi’s brand of sweetness is something else. Such an amazing new friend I can’t.

@half-oz-eddie Ivy’s blogs joy is actually infectious, genuinely get the goofiest grin on my face whenever I check it. Ik tumblrs being really frustrating for him rn so I just wanted to say to him how much I value his friendship, his memes, his fics and the joy he brings to this fandom.

@brightside-of-the-upsidedown Harle you absolute gem you are just the best person. I love your writing, being able to talk to you, just being able to be in the same space as you is an absolute pleasure.

@femmebilly you’re so magical and chaotic and wonderful and I’m so glad that we’re friends because talking to you makes my fandom experience just that tiny bit better. Your writing makes me lose all chill ever.

Mutuals who I have no idea how I have no but you’re all amazing

@metalscoops I’d just like to personally thank you for how ridiculously kind you’ve been to me over the past few days, knowing that I was having a rough time. Both the art and writing are just chefs kiss I am staring ferally at both transmasc and transfemme Billy. Also I’m 100% writing Jewish Steve for you, we don’t get enough rep in any fandom especially not this one and Jewish harringrove is so incredibly special to me.

@robthegoodfellow I would also like to thank you for how kind you’ve been to me over the last couple of days, it really means a lot to me. I can’t with the fics they’re so good aaaaaa but also like you’re such a genuinely good hearted and lovely person I can’t believe our paths only officially crossed on like, Wednesday.

@gracegrove Jess I’d just like to thank you for how encouraging you’ve been as a presence on my blog for the last few months. I haven’t always been able to respond because of my disabilities or my mental health but I always appreciate you reaching out to check that I’m doing ok. Your posts do a lot for the Billy fandom but also knowing the work you strive to do for individuals in the fandom as well really means a lot

@thediktatortot Lou Ik you’re on a bit of a tumblr break either now or soon so this can be here when you come back. Just thank you. I can’t even with how amazing both your contributions to the fandom are, especially with your art but also the way you have so much patience and genuine affection for people in this fandom. It’s something I’ll always admire about you.

@discodeviant Disco I cannot believe how many of these stupid fucking posts you’ve responded to with nothing but kindness and sincerity and I still can’t believe we’re mutuals because you’re such an amazing fic writer but like your responses to these posts have genuinely made such a difference. Really.

@yikesharringrove I just. I can’t. I spent so much of last summer alone, in bed waiting for my a level results to come, reading your fics on ao3 and here. It is absolutely surreal that we’re mutuals now I cannot believe it and you’ve been so genuinely nice to me I’m just like fanboy mode rn. The thought of punk Steve has taken over my brain forever I love him.

@neonponders Also just, amazing fics aside, you’re such a genuinely lovely person I can’t believe it. The amount of my fics I’ve seen with just like the sweetest tags from you I can’t.

@harringrovest Well firstly, thank you so much for your ask this morning I loved it. And second I’ve loved getting to know you more over the last couple of weeks and seeing how genuinely sweet you are, especially with headcanons around disability. You’re an amazing writer but I’m sure you already know that and yeah. I’d love to get to know you more.

@hephaestn you feel like the kind of person you could just sit outside a cafe with for hours having finished the drinks ages ago and just talk about nothing and everything at the same time. Your writing feels ethereal and I’m absolutely in love with it.

People who are just like- I just freak out over in general and have somehow managed to deal with me tagging me in so many of these without like…….decapitating me idk

@akioukun I have been in love with your art for forever so seeing you respond to my tags so sweetly really just made my month. I’m sorry for being so horrendously fucking awkward but I just think that you and what you do for this fandom is truly incredible.

@bigdumbbambieyes Bambi I cannot comprehend how you have been so nice to me every single time I do one of these, especially for the past week or so. It really says a lot about how genuinely kind you are as a person. I still can’t believe how good your writing is but also just your attitude towards everyone in this fandom is something I genuinely aspire towards.

@ihni I just- how. How are you this nice and this talented and this much of a credit to our fandom I just. I may have freaked out a little bit when I saw you respond to my ask. Just a tad. But you’ve been so fucking sweet throughout all of it and I was flicking through your AO3 before I was even posting so yeah, this means a lot.

@toast-ranger-to-a-stranger I just……..you’re just…………you’re so incredibly cool and sweet and kind hearted and I can’t believe you’ve dealt with me tagging you in so many of these without going full AHS on me. I don’t think I can fully describe what both your writing and your presence in this fandom means to me. So just. Yeah.

@catharrington zero chill when I saw you’d reblogged a couple of my fics because your writing is exquisite and my dyslexia means I have spelling mistakes in everything I write. I can’t put into words what you do to this fandom. It’s like too big of a feeling for me to even describe.

@fizzigigsimmer Ik you’re taking a bit of a tumblr break as well so hopefully this is something nice when you come back. Your writing really does something to me emotionally but then knowing that one of your favourite writers is so kind to people as well really just puts it in another level. You’re incredible.

@harringroveera I’ve been following your main so long that knowing that you both know of my existence and have such a positive perception of me feels unreal, especially when you are just the most spectacular person both memes and personality wise.

@captainrexshusband I can’t believe how many fandoms you post about that I already love but just to keep it vaguely on topic your harringrove posts are absolutely hilarious. Seeing you take the time to respond to my posts and do it with such a lovely attitude made my day.

Isn't this how that scene went when they were spying on Billy?

I apologise for a possible lack of coherency on this post, it’s 1AM in the UK but I felt like this was an issue that people needed to be made aware of

There is an Instagram account called billy._hargrove_ and they are stealing peoples art. @adelacreations has helped me with identifying a few of the artists who I will be doing my best to get in contact with to make aware of this situation but I also felt that making a post would also help bring attention to this issue.

I don’t know if this person has a tumblr but if you’re a Billy/harringrove/harringroveson artist who has an Instagram account I strongly recommend blocking them on there if Instagram is also somewhere where you post your art.

If fandom folks could reblog this post so as many people in this fandom are made aware of this issue as possible, that would be fantastic.

Sorry for a lack of detail, I just really wanted to get this out there.

Love, tears, and sex.

Harringrove for Turkey

Hello everyone! This fandom has come together multiple times before to help raise money for various worthy causes. I am hoping we can do so once again to raise money for Turkey.

Here are three causes specifically pointed out by @prettyboybillyhargrove who is from Turkey and can vouch that these charities are legit:

Disaster Tents Donations

Search and Rescue Association

Isbank of Turkey (I'm so sorry, I used Google translate for this because the site is in Turkish)

Similar to Harringrove for Ukraine, I am not setting time limits on anyone. I know I am super busy right now, but still want to help. So if you, creators, think you'll have time in the next few months- maybe consider joining and negotiating with your donor about a timeframe!

To donate in exchange for content:

I will be reblogging this post at 4:30PM EST on Wednesday, February 15th with all the creators who have signed up. Please check back on this post to find the full list!

Send a donation to one of the organizations linked above and take a screenshot!

Reach out to the content creator you would like to commission for this and work out a deadline expectation and what you will be receiving in exchange for your donation. We are working under a time constraint, please please be patient with your creator!

To create content for donations:

Send me a message to let me know! You can send it here or Discord, greysides#2310. I will add you to my reblog. Please get it to me before 4:30PM EST on Wednesday, February 15th!

Create a post detailing what you are offering! I do not have a specific template, but I recommend 100 words/$1 for writers. Please set your rates yourself, there is no need to overextend yourself! I will be making my own post about this, so feel free to take a look at that and work within my personal suggestions! (Also set a limit/ set one after you reach a comfortable number of donations for yourself!)

Negotiate with your donor about when you will get started on the piece/ how long you anticipate it to take. I hope we can all grant each other some patience and people will be willing to do something in a couple of weeks if given time.

As soon as you, the creator, have that screenshot please send it to me!

Get working on the creation! I can set up an AO3 collection for all completed works as well.

Make sure to tag all works with #harringroveforturkey. I am also active on Twitter and will be sharing this there for Twitter users.

Thank you all for your help! Please send any questions my way!
