HEADCANON (THIS IS REALLY EFFING LONG) (NO SRSLY, NOT KIDDING)
So, uh, here goes! (Please feel more than free to comment on this!) ETA: New edits will be highlighted so you don't go through pages of review to get to the good stuff. Names are bolded and generally stuck under headings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill and others' relationships (CONSTANTLY CHANGING)
Millie (the wife)
- Millie is his bestest friend in the whole wide world, and he doesn't need a sassy gay friend cuz Millie'll be there to verbally kick his arse when he's doing something dumb. \o/
- If there were ever a person he could unconditionally love, it would be Millie. He can't fathom her doing anything that would make him truly hate her, even though she has her fair share of foibles. Even if she broke up with him, he'd still probably love her. Things like murdering someone in cold blood or continously hurting someone are things he's never even thought she'd be capable of, so it's not a matter of importance to him.
- They're a schmoopy (but hot) couple in private but banter and physically mess with each other in public (he'll pick her up, she's smack him in the chest, etc.).
THE TEAM
- Bill and John take the piss outta each other. Regularly. They are absolute dicks to each other and they wouldn't have it any other way. Think "Well played, you bastard." "Mum and dad were happily married, thanks!" scenarios. They used to be closer but are still definitely good friends. Pub brawls wouldn't be as fun without John.
- It's probably not too obvious, because most people just see them taking the piss outta each other, but Bill kinda idolizes John. Yeah, they're buds and awesome drinking partners, but Bill thinks of John as a hero (in part due to Afghanistan and in part due to his and Mike helping him through ~stuff~). He's also seen how handy the dude is with a gun, hot damn.
- God, he and Mike are probably the most well-adjusted out of the Sherlock cast, THEY WILL BOND IN THAT WAY. Also, with dogs. Bill Jr. loves the hell outta Mike's dogs. He dwarves them so badly.
- Bill, John and Mike are awesome pub buddies. They go to the monthly pub quizzes and suck so hard with 'em but by that time, they don't even care anymore and Bill's halfway through daring John to pants Mike or something.
- Mike and John are obviously his best friends. He will pretty much do anything for them. John because they had each others' backs in Afghanistan and John understands about being invalided (to a certain degree, as they're pretty different in ways). I wanna say John and Mike were both there for Bill during a really rough spot after he got back. Will think it up later.
- John and Mike are basically his brothers from another mother. Is clearly super comfortable with the two, enough to drape all over them and be all "ooh you handsome man ooh" in good fun. Mike is ridic cuddly, btw.
- Greg is the HC mod but, more importantly, NOW THE TEAM'S MASCOT, HELL YEAH. Still dunno much about the man, but he is a good drinking partner and kind of a hilarious drunk (if a bit more free with the curse words). Much more laid back about things than he thought (hello, anchovies), so he's good in Bill's books.
- Bill probably finds it kinda funny that THE TEAM's mascot is a cop, hahah, the shit Bill's done when he was young~
- While Mary is now part of the team, Bill won't be very close to her for a while. She's fun to talk to! But as of now, they don't know much about each other, other than all the noodle incidents we slung at each other during chat.
Others he is semi-related to or friends with
- Sherlock and Bill will probably never really get along. It's fun to read on the shenanigans he gets into, but not so much fun being in the room with him when he's being stroppy. But he's the boyfriend of a good friend and he's never seen a couple that far gone with each other. Plus, he's gonna find it hilarious when Sherlock and John finally come visit his house and the huge dog utterly loves Sherlock. Enough to fullbody flop on him. 8Db
- Harry and Clara are basically family/friends of a friend (John) so they're a little closer than his other fandom friends. He'll know a bit more about their real lives, so he can have longer convos with them, but they're not altogether that close. They're definitely fun to talk to, but he won't go as far as to show up outside their door with beer whenever shit's going down.
- Bill can almost understand about Harry's drinking but would be disappointed in her nevertheless. It's like, "YOU HAVE A FAMILY. WHO LOVES YOU. AND YOU ARE HURTING THEM. WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?" And now he doesn't know what to do since 1) he was kinda sorta friends with her 2) John still loves her 3) he understands about family, so he can't condemn John for loving her. He kinda sorta knew about her alcohol problems before and why Clara broke up with her, but he thought she'd gotten help and stopped. Now if he sees her and she's not seriously shaping up, she'll just look at her in a sad/disappointed way and be highly uncomfortable when talking to her, almost feeling like he's betraying John in some way by talking to her. They are now awkward turtle.
- Sarah is a definitely fun friend whom he met while she and John were going out. If there is any awkwardness between her and John, Bill fails to notice it cuz he's too busy chatting with her. Likes her style and thinks she's a smart lady. Bill Jr is gonna be totally spoiled by her.
Fandom friends
- Anderson and Irene are fandom friends! So he'll chat with you and be slightly concerned about you if something's going on, but is fairly detached other than that. May change if he meets you IRL though. PS Millie thinks Irene is the coolest.
- Bill has met Sally IRL now! He probably think she's adorable (she's shorter than his wife) but also good at taking care of herself, in physical situations. Probably a bit leery about bringing her to a pub, cuz she keeps wanting a drink whenever stuff goes bad, and that never ends well. He can probably attest to that all too well. But yeah, he ain't letting her drink by herself and not without some food beforehand. He's not super close to her yet, so this kinda stuff will stop at him telling her not to go drink on chat.
- Mycroft and Mrs. Hudson are the resident mods and more acquaintances than friends. Bill's super wary of Mycroft right now, but won't get into the drama.
Family
- His mom and dad worked full-time when he was a kid, so he didn't see them as much as he'd like. He wasn't alone, since he had his huge extended family, but none of them could replace his parents. It's not that they didn't love him or neglected him, they were just busy, so they had a fairly hands-off approach at raising him. Think this song only with both of his parents. Bill loves them, but if he ever gets kids, he doesn't want to be like them. Good chunk of his relationship (platonic or otherwise) issues came from that.
- Bill loves his family, because he was taught all his life to do so. "You're one of the oldest, be nice, you have to love them" and all that. So he's kinda obligated to love his family, even though there are some people in it who have fucked up pretty majorly (addicts, criminals, general arseholes, etc). But that doesn't mean he actually truly loves them. There's a difference and it makes sense in his mind.
- Probably the person he was closest to in his family was his maternal grandfather, whose death is the event that got him to seriously shape up. He also decided to never EVER drink and drive.
- Totally started acting out and being a punk to try to get his parents to notice him more. Did get their attention, but it was more of a distracted disappointment than anything.
General facts about Bill and relationships
- Unless Bill feels more or less close to you, he'll be calling you by your username. Sally, Mary and Greg have leveled up to more-than-acquaintance stage, so now he'll be calling them by their names.
- Bill is actually rather codependent when it comes to friends. He's fairly drama-free partially due to his not wanting to tick off his friends and lose them. He has low self-esteem when it comes to relationships! Not bad enough that it throws him off-kilter, but still enough to make him wonder how he's got such bloody amazing people around him and why do they like him it kinda makes no sense oGod.
- HE LOVES PEOPLE BUT SOMETIMES DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE LOVE HIM? But whatever, he's pretty much come to terms with this and accepts that it's an irrational part of himself. He'll get REALLY mad (like "2 seconds before a fist is in your face" kinda mad) for a little while at people who pick up on this and tell him about it but will logic himself back to zen status.
- He's very loyal to his army buddies (in arduis fidelis) and family. Aka, he will fuck your shit up if you harm them. Some of the anons siding with John was Bill.
- Bill's there when you need him. BBC!John's post of "Nothing happens to me" was quickly followed by BBC!Bill asking him out for meetups. Of course, BBC!Bill wouldn't go off to BBC!John's place when shit's going down, but this is a Bill who's been back for 4 years and really appreciates a comrade in London.
- Bill actually kinda just adopts people he's super fond of in his head. It takes a while, but once you're in his "family", you're pretty much there to stay. This spawned from his extended family and friends being physically there for him more times than his immediate family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific people stories
Millie
- 5'7" woman with short, frizzy hair and darker shade of skin than Bill. Girl's got ~curves~ and a quirky smile with a small gap between the front teeth. Has a wicked right hook.
- Millie was his on-again/off-again girlfriend before he got deployed and they wrote often to each other, webcam if possible. They were off again while he was in military camp, so raunchy shenanigans were had while out with the boys. He proposed to her during his leave between two tours of Afghanistan, tail end of first one being when John is invalided (maybe?) while start of second one is when Bill is invalided. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS ACTUALLY FEASIBLE BUT ROLL WITH IT.
- The proposal may have had merry-go-rounds and trampolines (her jumping and him laughing at her) involved. Their affianced period was about a year (Millie wanted it to be perfect, Bill wanted whatever Millie wanted but was still super bored with the procedures). The honeymoon was to Disneyland because she loves the face charcters and has like a million pictures of the place.
- He feels very VERY lucky to have Millie by his side. She's probably the person who knows him best in the world. Which also means that she doesn't take any of his crap (also something he's thankful for). That doesn't mean he thinks she's actually a saint or something, Lord no, he knows her best in the world too and girl is not afraid to get down and dirty. Keeping this mostly PG-13 though. :Db
- Since BBC!Bill was apparently married before he met up with John again ("And you should come down and meet the Mrs."), I'm fudging with it to fit her having married him about 3-4 years ago. LET'S SAY HE WAS AFFIANCED TO HER AT THAT TIME and then decided to call her "the missus :D" cuz it was funny and she made the best faces every time he did it. Kind of a blushing grimace that says "stop but not really". So yes, John was still totally his best man. :|b Mike was the flower girl a groomsman. I know Jenny was a bridesmaid if not the maid of honor because the two are totally fast BFFs. The best man speech was ridiculous cuz drunk!John kept giggling and Bill kept not-so-stealthily chucking things at him while laughing himself.
- May have an oncoming argument about kids in the future (she wants kids and he, uh, doesn't really THEY ALREADY HAVE A DOG why get more). There are feelings of not being good enough involved with his decision not to have kids (yet). His low relationship self-esteem is at the core of his not wanting to have kids just yet with Millie. Millie is trying to force him out of this belief through a lot of kicking and "IDIOT, I've known you forever, d'you think I'm blind to all your faults and thought I'd married a perfect man?" His little spitfire~ ♥
- Like Bill, Millie is a straightforward person. But she's also a much more confrontational person. So while he's more "last minute save", Millie's the "stitch in time saves nine" kinda girl. Very much involved with the public and has joined clubs (e.g. book club, baking club) for her free time. Works as a subsitute teacher for a local school. Cooking is how she de-stresses, so people who host bake/food sales love her.
- Millie's a pretty congenial girl but also a work-a-holic. She needs to be doing something a majority of the time, or she'll feel like she's wasted time. Not exactly a healthy mindset, especially when stressed, but Bill fights this by bear hugging her and flopping on the couch for a nice hour or two of crap telly.
- Could be considered childhood friend, but they didn't actually become friends until he was in his teens. They knew of each other, as they went to the same school, but didn't interact with her much until Millie got into a mix-up with a bully. Bill punched the bully for her, but accidentally got in the way of her punch for the bully. They all got detention but Bill and Millie became fast friends. They joke that it was love at first blood.
- I'm saying that since she wasn't at the con, Millie's more a casual lurker on the internet. She was reading over his shoulder one day with the list, saw Irene's post regarding the ~ladies~ of Sherlock Holmes and decided to manhandle the laptop outta Bill's hands and read it. She regularly does this kinda thing. Also, she uses Bill's username to comment on LJ entries cuz she can't be arsed to make her own. Bill does not know what to feel about this?!
- Was forced to take dance lessons because Millie does the meanest cha-cha this side of London and she refused to be seen with a date that couldn't even do a fox trot correctly. Yes, this gives him the right to make fun of John Watson's dodgy dancing.
- Millie thinks John is sweet. Bill had a moment of "NOT YOU TOO DDD:" at her. Millie smacked Bill over the head for that.
- Millie's fairly fine with Bill's drinking as long as it doesn't go over-the-top, like it kinda did in these two posts. Then she is very disapproving and makes him drink a hangover cure (aka the nastiest drink ever that somehow kinda works).
- A fairly accurate rendition of what happens when Millie tries to even sip alcohol can be seen here. If you can't click that link, let's just say that she reeeeaally doesn't like the taste of alcohol. Which is bad for any recipes with alcohol in it, she'll go outta her way not to touch the stuff.
- Not a morning person, no sirree. Millie will rip your head off in the morning. Has a bit of an unfortunate temper on her, at these times. Best way to avoid getting things thrown at you, the most harmless being the two-finger salute, is to not wake her up if possible. Bill has possibly learned this the hard way more than once.
- When she's really, truly mad, Millie doesn't need words to shut a person down. All she does give the person an icy glare and then just... ignore them. For however long it takes. The opposite of love, after all, is not hate but indifference. This kind of anger has scared Bill the most, cuz that's about when he thinks "this is it, this will be what my life would be like without her".
John
- Bill met John while training to become a soldier and they became friends through being very VERY drunk and going through shenanigans one weekend. This was a tradition that went on for the rest of the time they've known each other (SO MANY DRUNK ANTICS). While other people joined in on the madness, John was one of the best pranking army buds that Bill has had (and hopefully vice versa).
- Brought a digital camera everywhere he could, so their idiocy has been immortalized forever in his computer's hard drive. Still shows it to John whenever they need a laugh. Now uses a phone that has a nice 8 megapixel camera in it with a 2 GB memory chip. Currently has only a couple pictures (including Sherlock and John cuddling on the sofa) cuz he semi-regularly sticks it into his computer's hard drive too. Is too lazy to name all of the pictures, though, so he has a tough time scrolling through his mess of photos to find a specific one.
- During Afghanistan, they were actually pretty good at covering each other's arses. Bill was the one who carried John to safety after he was shot. Was invalided home soon after but adjusted to civilian life better than John due to family and Millie.
- Caught up with John accidentally in London (20 minute bus ride from his pension home?). Lolol, I haven't the faintest about the geography in England.
- John got him into reading Sherlock Holmes, although (of course) he knew about it in the past. He fanboys Irene Adler. ♥
- He's learned not to use his height advantage (6 ft) too much (e.g. Holding up something high above their reach) because John fights dirty.
Mike
- Met Mike during his and John's leave in London once. There was (as always) a pub involved. Apparently accidentally helped Mike get the girl (Jenny) by distracting John with FIRE. I think they were trying to learn how to breathe fire. Bill was very thankful for his shaved head, John's eyebrows did not escape unscathed, and that pub kicked them out.
- ... I wanna say that he decides to go back to uni part-time (Trauma Science programme) and is at Barts. Where he sits in Mike's classes. And grins from the front row like a crazed man. Other people (John) should join him. 8D This may actually happen one day.
Harry
- Met Harry for like a minute before being deployed to Afghanistan. Was honestly too busy snogging his just on-again girlfriend to do much more than say "Oh hey, John's sisthmpphhmmm". But he now knows where she lives cuz he had to drag John's drunk arse SOMEWHERE after they met up after Afghanistan, and the only address John remembered was Harry's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General stuff to know about him
- Bill is a 6-feet tall black man who was a nurse in the army. Compare him with tiny John Watson and the rest of the crew. Awesome. Description of his looks can be found here and throughout this post.
- Younger than John by a few years, but older than Sherlock. So about 36?
- Comes from a middle-class, fairly well-adjusted family (as I don't know if I can play something heavier). Only child. Has a huge extended family, though. Full on aunts, uncles, and grandparents out the wazzoo. He was one of the oldest of the cousins and whatnot, so he was forced to babysit his cousins. En masse. Think 20-25 kids on a lawn versus 2-3 only-slightly-older kids. Hard to referee two dozen kids who regularly got into brawls. This is where he gets his hands-off approach, generally letting people find out what to do themselves (if they want to do that) and only coming in when shit's really getting real.
- Married (to Millie) and has a dog (Bill Jr). Not planning on having any kids just yet.
- Is Christian! Obviously not the best one, cuz he ditches church whenever he feels too lazy. Goes to the Church of England and regularly falls asleep during the sermons there. Thankfully does not snore too much, and if he does, Millie fixes it with a smile on her face and an elbow to his ribs. Does believe in a higher being though, but goes with the Good Omens "humans do the good/bad things, not God or the Devil" theory.
- Played rugby when he was in university and now actually works as a part-time rugby coaching aide and call-in sports therapist (~yay, making up work~). He's pretty good at what he does and people automatically respect the big dude with a rugby history and has been in Afghanistan. Also, he's good with massages. Millie like~ (British) Football isn't his cup of tea, but it's fun to yell at the telly over who's winning or losing with other pub members.
- Work hours are flexible, as it depends on when the rugby team has games, so he's able to go on the Holmes chat in the middle of the night and bring beer to John at arse o'clock in the morning. Has pretty simplistic needs and his wife also works, no kids, so no real need to bust his arse working.
- Bill's fairly responsible about stuff IRL, but when he's with THE TEAM, all bets are off. Let the inner prankster and batshit insane boy be free~ People who see THE TEAM may think they're out-of-control and only one beer away from trashing the town, but actually, they're a pretty controlled kinda out-of-control, if that makes any sense. Bill knows his limits for things cuz he forced himself to. He doesn't want to pass that edge where he becomes an alcoholic or vandal or something that would hurt others.
- Bill has a car! Don't ask the player what kind it is cuz she knows fuckall about American cars, let alone UK ones. \o/ APPARENTLY HE DRIVES A VOLKSWAGEN GOLF I don't even know. But yes, he has a car and d'you know what that means (other than no serial killing cabbie adventures for him)? Yup, that's right, road trips.
- Is totally an AMAZING DRIVER BTW (no he isn't). Just enough to pass the driving test and be the designated chaffeur of THE TEAM. Wanna say that he was the one to accidentally run himself over, John? Also, he's totally pants with driving directions. He would get lost somehow if someone told him to go straight and then turn right once you hit a certain street. HOW FAR AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE OGOD DID HE SAY RIGHT OR LEFT AND WTF IS WITH THAT SIGN. Thank the Lord for GPS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More personal/specific info
- He's heard all the jokes regarding his name and how he totally doesn't look like Bill Murray. He used to get mad about it but has since mellowed out after meeting John Watson. Cuz. You know. Doctor John Watson. Being Bill Murray has nothing on that. Edit: Is never allowed to get mad about his name ever again, omg, what is your life, John.
- Has a huge dog. Huuuuge dog. A black mixed-breed one (he's like a mix of Mastiff, Newfoundland and Giant Pyrenees or something, which results in a fucking huge dog with shaggy fur). Bill does not call him "Dog" (cheers, John) as it is his dog and deserves a fittingly manly name (Bill Jr.). Millie bypasses this and calls him "Fluffums", just cuz she can. Dammit, Millie. The dog is super derpy and Bill not-so-secretly spoils the hell outta Junior.
- Knows the most randomass stuff purely because he surfs the internet often. This would come in handy in pub quizzes if he could remember past "OH I KNOW THIS um um something about a large rodent shitfuck I dunno."
- He's not so much blunt as he cuts through the BS when asking/telling people stuff. I mean seriously, "Are you two really fucking or what" is pretty damn straightforward. So if you're being a prick? He'll tell you that you're kinda a prick! But he usually uses this wonderful power called tact so wank doesn't follow him everywhere. XD
- Apparently has had piercings and is SUPER ticklish behind his ears. Had threatened John to secrecy about these things but the bastard's willing to tell other people, so he owes the man a noogie.
- Has a tramp stamp. Not even a classy one, no. A dolphin one. Bill is the proud owner of a pink Lisa Frank-ish dolphin tramp stamp. He has no idea when/how he got it, just sometime between training and deployment. You guys should already know who he blames. Millie loves the tattoo, so he hasn't gotten it taken off. The thing with the stamp wouldn't come up so much if he'd stop wearing slightly ill-fitting shirts when in casual company. They're obviously a lil too small for him but they're comfy dammit.
- Got invalided back at age 32, about 2 months after John was invalided home (4-5 years ago). Bullet took a chunk out of his thigh. Nearly bled out his femoral artery but he got saved by someone. Things are very handwave-y after that and he can run/walk for short-ish distances, but needs a cane other times cuz he has a limp that he refuses to acknowledge until it hurts too much. Has 2 canes (one awesome and metal, the other wood that has bite marks from Jr getting at it) but generally will try not to use them if he can get away with it.
- Hates small netbooks with a passion cuz it's such a pain to type in. Typos every other word, swear to God. But he loves the internet enough to bear with it, even though it makes him :C a lil.
- He is a VERY LOUD DRUNK. Can apparently still type well while having whiskey in him, although his capitalization suffers.
- Has a bit of a sweet tooth but it very much depends on the sweet. For example, marshmallows are too sticky sweet for Bill. He prefers sweet things with more of a hint of bitterness/spiciness to it, so dark chocolate with chili flakes are pretty much tailor-made for him. Oatmeal raisin cookies are also his favorite cookie of all cookies (biscuits?), because his mom made them whenever she was home and had time. Heeee's never gonna eat those eggs with the half-developed duckling in it (balut). Fuck no, that is disgusting.
- He's straight, but has had celeb crushes on some men (Ooh Jeremy Brett ooh). Also idolizes people like Stephen Fry. He's like a 1 on the Kinsey scale (0-6). He's only been with girls, but can count on one hand the men he's had sexual crushes on (all of them celebrities, hasn't met one IRL). Platonic crushes are a whole other thing. He is, thankfully, very secure in his sexuality so all gay happenings are met with a grin and a joking "piss off." Alternatively, deadpan statements of how strong and manly the other person is (he's tried fluttering his eyelashes before, Mike's told him that it looks like he's having a conniption).
- Not too big a fan of the '09 film but found it entertaining. Partly because Mike and John were SUPER into it (and Rachel McAdams) so he thought it was hilarious whenever they got drunk and the topic turned to the '09 film. He's totally not gonna notice the similarity between Hotson's cane and John's new cane. John-player already has permission to whack Bill with said cane for that.
- It takes a lot of alcohol to completely knock him out, but not altogether that much to get into that happy, hazy state where everything seems like a good idea, including taking John's favorite boxers and pulling it up the flag pole. He wasn't kidding about having fond memories of saluting to it, it was pretty damn funny. Eventually helped retrieve it before the commanding officers got too pissy.
- Fairly reserved when first meeting people, but once you get him talking, he lights up and it's hard to shut him up. ALSO, if you want to pull a prank on someone, he's your go-to guy. Lord knows John did.
- Was a punk (chav?) when younger, not quite gangster material as he lived in a not-so-bad part of town and they could never get their hands on him. Stopped when he was in sixth form after his maternal grandfather got in a hit-and-run and went into a coma for a week before dying. He decided to become a nurse because he was impressed by the one that was taking care of his granddad.
- Can sing fairly well, but only when sober. But he has to be drunk to even be persuaded to sing solo. This ends in drunk, tone-deaf singing whenever THE TEAM decides to join open-mic sessions at the pub. He knows music! He likes music! But hell if he can differentiate between a violin and a viola or pretty music that's sad from pretty music that's happy. That don't matter to him! Whatever makes the wife happy, man, he will even buy her Josh Groban music. :|b
- He loves action movies, but sadly, they do not love him as much anymore. PTSD has made him twitchy about major gunfights and explosions (God, the mines) and he had nightmares after "Hot Fuzz". Tried to desensitize himself over the years after Afghanistan, which helped a bit, but not enough for him to enjoy gun movies as much as he used to.
- Bill is apparently handy with installing things. At the very least, he doesn't fail as much as John does.
- Places he's been to:
* Disneyland (Anaheim, California); Liked it well enough, the weather was very much appreciated, the face characters coming on to his wife not so much
* Random places in England; He has a CAR, road trips obviously happened
* Afghanistan; Obvious
* Abu Dhabi (Capital United Arab Emirates); Apparently a safe spot that John and Bill's been to, player doesn't know much about this spot
*Spain; Random bit of leave he had with John and possibly others
- While at the hospital visiting his comatose grandfather, he totally asked all the nurses and doctors he could find about the most gruesome cases they had. They were pretty fascinating, and after he started studying to become a nurse, he'd always find time to research all the weird-ass shit so he can gross out people with stupid facts. Like teratomas. Do not google that if you don't want to be disgusted and/or morbidly fascinated. Mike and John found out about it one day when they were doing the same thing to other people. More bonding was had. We are the best bros, guys.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding fandom
- Skirting the edges of fandom enough to know the people and see the fanworks in it, but not enough to get pulled into wank. Sherlock Holmes fandom is the first fandom that's really gone deeper for him, so the shenanigans going on are much more personal.
- Does read other people's comments in posts and threadjumps sometimes.
- Doesn't actually know when he got into fandom, he'll be all "I'M A VETERAN ON THIS SIDE OF THE NET" but really is bullshitting you.
- Not too happy with it right now. Stalking people is never cool, guys.

WILL BE ADDING MORE AS I GO ALONG
(Last edit: July 10 08:03 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill and others' relationships (CONSTANTLY CHANGING)
Millie (the wife)
- Millie is his bestest friend in the whole wide world, and he doesn't need a sassy gay friend cuz Millie'll be there to verbally kick his arse when he's doing something dumb. \o/
- If there were ever a person he could unconditionally love, it would be Millie. He can't fathom her doing anything that would make him truly hate her, even though she has her fair share of foibles. Even if she broke up with him, he'd still probably love her. Things like murdering someone in cold blood or continously hurting someone are things he's never even thought she'd be capable of, so it's not a matter of importance to him.
- They're a schmoopy (but hot) couple in private but banter and physically mess with each other in public (he'll pick her up, she's smack him in the chest, etc.).
THE TEAM
- Bill and John take the piss outta each other. Regularly. They are absolute dicks to each other and they wouldn't have it any other way. Think "Well played, you bastard." "Mum and dad were happily married, thanks!" scenarios. They used to be closer but are still definitely good friends. Pub brawls wouldn't be as fun without John.
- It's probably not too obvious, because most people just see them taking the piss outta each other, but Bill kinda idolizes John. Yeah, they're buds and awesome drinking partners, but Bill thinks of John as a hero (in part due to Afghanistan and in part due to his and Mike helping him through ~stuff~). He's also seen how handy the dude is with a gun, hot damn.
- God, he and Mike are probably the most well-adjusted out of the Sherlock cast, THEY WILL BOND IN THAT WAY. Also, with dogs. Bill Jr. loves the hell outta Mike's dogs. He dwarves them so badly.
- Bill, John and Mike are awesome pub buddies. They go to the monthly pub quizzes and suck so hard with 'em but by that time, they don't even care anymore and Bill's halfway through daring John to pants Mike or something.
- Mike and John are obviously his best friends. He will pretty much do anything for them. John because they had each others' backs in Afghanistan and John understands about being invalided (to a certain degree, as they're pretty different in ways). I wanna say John and Mike were both there for Bill during a really rough spot after he got back. Will think it up later.
- John and Mike are basically his brothers from another mother. Is clearly super comfortable with the two, enough to drape all over them and be all "ooh you handsome man ooh" in good fun. Mike is ridic cuddly, btw.
- Greg is the HC mod but, more importantly, NOW THE TEAM'S MASCOT, HELL YEAH. Still dunno much about the man, but he is a good drinking partner and kind of a hilarious drunk (if a bit more free with the curse words). Much more laid back about things than he thought (hello, anchovies), so he's good in Bill's books.
- Bill probably finds it kinda funny that THE TEAM's mascot is a cop, hahah, the shit Bill's done when he was young~
- While Mary is now part of the team, Bill won't be very close to her for a while. She's fun to talk to! But as of now, they don't know much about each other, other than all the noodle incidents we slung at each other during chat.
Others he is semi-related to or friends with
- Sherlock and Bill will probably never really get along. It's fun to read on the shenanigans he gets into, but not so much fun being in the room with him when he's being stroppy. But he's the boyfriend of a good friend and he's never seen a couple that far gone with each other. Plus, he's gonna find it hilarious when Sherlock and John finally come visit his house and the huge dog utterly loves Sherlock. Enough to fullbody flop on him. 8Db
- Harry and Clara are basically family/friends of a friend (John) so they're a little closer than his other fandom friends. He'll know a bit more about their real lives, so he can have longer convos with them, but they're not altogether that close. They're definitely fun to talk to, but he won't go as far as to show up outside their door with beer whenever shit's going down.
- Bill can almost understand about Harry's drinking but would be disappointed in her nevertheless. It's like, "YOU HAVE A FAMILY. WHO LOVES YOU. AND YOU ARE HURTING THEM. WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?" And now he doesn't know what to do since 1) he was kinda sorta friends with her 2) John still loves her 3) he understands about family, so he can't condemn John for loving her. He kinda sorta knew about her alcohol problems before and why Clara broke up with her, but he thought she'd gotten help and stopped. Now if he sees her and she's not seriously shaping up, she'll just look at her in a sad/disappointed way and be highly uncomfortable when talking to her, almost feeling like he's betraying John in some way by talking to her. They are now awkward turtle.
- Sarah is a definitely fun friend whom he met while she and John were going out. If there is any awkwardness between her and John, Bill fails to notice it cuz he's too busy chatting with her. Likes her style and thinks she's a smart lady. Bill Jr is gonna be totally spoiled by her.
Fandom friends
- Anderson and Irene are fandom friends! So he'll chat with you and be slightly concerned about you if something's going on, but is fairly detached other than that. May change if he meets you IRL though. PS Millie thinks Irene is the coolest.
- Bill has met Sally IRL now! He probably think she's adorable (she's shorter than his wife) but also good at taking care of herself, in physical situations. Probably a bit leery about bringing her to a pub, cuz she keeps wanting a drink whenever stuff goes bad, and that never ends well. He can probably attest to that all too well. But yeah, he ain't letting her drink by herself and not without some food beforehand. He's not super close to her yet, so this kinda stuff will stop at him telling her not to go drink on chat.
- Mycroft and Mrs. Hudson are the resident mods and more acquaintances than friends. Bill's super wary of Mycroft right now, but won't get into the drama.
Family
- His mom and dad worked full-time when he was a kid, so he didn't see them as much as he'd like. He wasn't alone, since he had his huge extended family, but none of them could replace his parents. It's not that they didn't love him or neglected him, they were just busy, so they had a fairly hands-off approach at raising him. Think this song only with both of his parents. Bill loves them, but if he ever gets kids, he doesn't want to be like them. Good chunk of his relationship (platonic or otherwise) issues came from that.
- Bill loves his family, because he was taught all his life to do so. "You're one of the oldest, be nice, you have to love them" and all that. So he's kinda obligated to love his family, even though there are some people in it who have fucked up pretty majorly (addicts, criminals, general arseholes, etc). But that doesn't mean he actually truly loves them. There's a difference and it makes sense in his mind.
- Probably the person he was closest to in his family was his maternal grandfather, whose death is the event that got him to seriously shape up. He also decided to never EVER drink and drive.
- Totally started acting out and being a punk to try to get his parents to notice him more. Did get their attention, but it was more of a distracted disappointment than anything.
General facts about Bill and relationships
- Unless Bill feels more or less close to you, he'll be calling you by your username. Sally, Mary and Greg have leveled up to more-than-acquaintance stage, so now he'll be calling them by their names.
- Bill is actually rather codependent when it comes to friends. He's fairly drama-free partially due to his not wanting to tick off his friends and lose them. He has low self-esteem when it comes to relationships! Not bad enough that it throws him off-kilter, but still enough to make him wonder how he's got such bloody amazing people around him and why do they like him it kinda makes no sense oGod.
- HE LOVES PEOPLE BUT SOMETIMES DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE LOVE HIM? But whatever, he's pretty much come to terms with this and accepts that it's an irrational part of himself. He'll get REALLY mad (like "2 seconds before a fist is in your face" kinda mad) for a little while at people who pick up on this and tell him about it but will logic himself back to zen status.
- He's very loyal to his army buddies (in arduis fidelis) and family. Aka, he will fuck your shit up if you harm them. Some of the anons siding with John was Bill.
- Bill's there when you need him. BBC!John's post of "Nothing happens to me" was quickly followed by BBC!Bill asking him out for meetups. Of course, BBC!Bill wouldn't go off to BBC!John's place when shit's going down, but this is a Bill who's been back for 4 years and really appreciates a comrade in London.
- Bill actually kinda just adopts people he's super fond of in his head. It takes a while, but once you're in his "family", you're pretty much there to stay. This spawned from his extended family and friends being physically there for him more times than his immediate family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific people stories
Millie
- 5'7" woman with short, frizzy hair and darker shade of skin than Bill. Girl's got ~curves~ and a quirky smile with a small gap between the front teeth. Has a wicked right hook.
- Millie was his on-again/off-again girlfriend before he got deployed and they wrote often to each other, webcam if possible. They were off again while he was in military camp, so raunchy shenanigans were had while out with the boys. He proposed to her during his leave between two tours of Afghanistan, tail end of first one being when John is invalided (maybe?) while start of second one is when Bill is invalided. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS ACTUALLY FEASIBLE BUT ROLL WITH IT.
- The proposal may have had merry-go-rounds and trampolines (her jumping and him laughing at her) involved. Their affianced period was about a year (Millie wanted it to be perfect, Bill wanted whatever Millie wanted but was still super bored with the procedures). The honeymoon was to Disneyland because she loves the face charcters and has like a million pictures of the place.
- He feels very VERY lucky to have Millie by his side. She's probably the person who knows him best in the world. Which also means that she doesn't take any of his crap (also something he's thankful for). That doesn't mean he thinks she's actually a saint or something, Lord no, he knows her best in the world too and girl is not afraid to get down and dirty. Keeping this mostly PG-13 though. :Db
- Since BBC!Bill was apparently married before he met up with John again ("And you should come down and meet the Mrs."), I'm fudging with it to fit her having married him about 3-4 years ago. LET'S SAY HE WAS AFFIANCED TO HER AT THAT TIME and then decided to call her "the missus :D" cuz it was funny and she made the best faces every time he did it. Kind of a blushing grimace that says "stop but not really". So yes, John was still totally his best man. :|b Mike was the flower girl a groomsman. I know Jenny was a bridesmaid if not the maid of honor because the two are totally fast BFFs. The best man speech was ridiculous cuz drunk!John kept giggling and Bill kept not-so-stealthily chucking things at him while laughing himself.
- May have an oncoming argument about kids in the future (she wants kids and he, uh, doesn't really THEY ALREADY HAVE A DOG why get more). There are feelings of not being good enough involved with his decision not to have kids (yet). His low relationship self-esteem is at the core of his not wanting to have kids just yet with Millie. Millie is trying to force him out of this belief through a lot of kicking and "IDIOT, I've known you forever, d'you think I'm blind to all your faults and thought I'd married a perfect man?" His little spitfire~ ♥
- Like Bill, Millie is a straightforward person. But she's also a much more confrontational person. So while he's more "last minute save", Millie's the "stitch in time saves nine" kinda girl. Very much involved with the public and has joined clubs (e.g. book club, baking club) for her free time. Works as a subsitute teacher for a local school. Cooking is how she de-stresses, so people who host bake/food sales love her.
- Millie's a pretty congenial girl but also a work-a-holic. She needs to be doing something a majority of the time, or she'll feel like she's wasted time. Not exactly a healthy mindset, especially when stressed, but Bill fights this by bear hugging her and flopping on the couch for a nice hour or two of crap telly.
- Could be considered childhood friend, but they didn't actually become friends until he was in his teens. They knew of each other, as they went to the same school, but didn't interact with her much until Millie got into a mix-up with a bully. Bill punched the bully for her, but accidentally got in the way of her punch for the bully. They all got detention but Bill and Millie became fast friends. They joke that it was love at first blood.
- I'm saying that since she wasn't at the con, Millie's more a casual lurker on the internet. She was reading over his shoulder one day with the list, saw Irene's post regarding the ~ladies~ of Sherlock Holmes and decided to manhandle the laptop outta Bill's hands and read it. She regularly does this kinda thing. Also, she uses Bill's username to comment on LJ entries cuz she can't be arsed to make her own. Bill does not know what to feel about this?!
- Was forced to take dance lessons because Millie does the meanest cha-cha this side of London and she refused to be seen with a date that couldn't even do a fox trot correctly. Yes, this gives him the right to make fun of John Watson's dodgy dancing.
- Millie thinks John is sweet. Bill had a moment of "NOT YOU TOO DDD:" at her. Millie smacked Bill over the head for that.
- Millie's fairly fine with Bill's drinking as long as it doesn't go over-the-top, like it kinda did in these two posts. Then she is very disapproving and makes him drink a hangover cure (aka the nastiest drink ever that somehow kinda works).
- A fairly accurate rendition of what happens when Millie tries to even sip alcohol can be seen here. If you can't click that link, let's just say that she reeeeaally doesn't like the taste of alcohol. Which is bad for any recipes with alcohol in it, she'll go outta her way not to touch the stuff.
- Not a morning person, no sirree. Millie will rip your head off in the morning. Has a bit of an unfortunate temper on her, at these times. Best way to avoid getting things thrown at you, the most harmless being the two-finger salute, is to not wake her up if possible. Bill has possibly learned this the hard way more than once.
- When she's really, truly mad, Millie doesn't need words to shut a person down. All she does give the person an icy glare and then just... ignore them. For however long it takes. The opposite of love, after all, is not hate but indifference. This kind of anger has scared Bill the most, cuz that's about when he thinks "this is it, this will be what my life would be like without her".
John
- Bill met John while training to become a soldier and they became friends through being very VERY drunk and going through shenanigans one weekend. This was a tradition that went on for the rest of the time they've known each other (SO MANY DRUNK ANTICS). While other people joined in on the madness, John was one of the best pranking army buds that Bill has had (and hopefully vice versa).
- Brought a digital camera everywhere he could, so their idiocy has been immortalized forever in his computer's hard drive. Still shows it to John whenever they need a laugh. Now uses a phone that has a nice 8 megapixel camera in it with a 2 GB memory chip. Currently has only a couple pictures (including Sherlock and John cuddling on the sofa) cuz he semi-regularly sticks it into his computer's hard drive too. Is too lazy to name all of the pictures, though, so he has a tough time scrolling through his mess of photos to find a specific one.
- During Afghanistan, they were actually pretty good at covering each other's arses. Bill was the one who carried John to safety after he was shot. Was invalided home soon after but adjusted to civilian life better than John due to family and Millie.
- Caught up with John accidentally in London (20 minute bus ride from his pension home?). Lolol, I haven't the faintest about the geography in England.
- John got him into reading Sherlock Holmes, although (of course) he knew about it in the past. He fanboys Irene Adler. ♥
- He's learned not to use his height advantage (6 ft) too much (e.g. Holding up something high above their reach) because John fights dirty.
Mike
- Met Mike during his and John's leave in London once. There was (as always) a pub involved. Apparently accidentally helped Mike get the girl (Jenny) by distracting John with FIRE. I think they were trying to learn how to breathe fire. Bill was very thankful for his shaved head, John's eyebrows did not escape unscathed, and that pub kicked them out.
- ... I wanna say that he decides to go back to uni part-time (Trauma Science programme) and is at Barts. Where he sits in Mike's classes. And grins from the front row like a crazed man. Other people (John) should join him. 8D This may actually happen one day.
Harry
- Met Harry for like a minute before being deployed to Afghanistan. Was honestly too busy snogging his just on-again girlfriend to do much more than say "Oh hey, John's sisthmpphhmmm". But he now knows where she lives cuz he had to drag John's drunk arse SOMEWHERE after they met up after Afghanistan, and the only address John remembered was Harry's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General stuff to know about him
- Bill is a 6-feet tall black man who was a nurse in the army. Compare him with tiny John Watson and the rest of the crew. Awesome. Description of his looks can be found here and throughout this post.
- Younger than John by a few years, but older than Sherlock. So about 36?
- Comes from a middle-class, fairly well-adjusted family (as I don't know if I can play something heavier). Only child. Has a huge extended family, though. Full on aunts, uncles, and grandparents out the wazzoo. He was one of the oldest of the cousins and whatnot, so he was forced to babysit his cousins. En masse. Think 20-25 kids on a lawn versus 2-3 only-slightly-older kids. Hard to referee two dozen kids who regularly got into brawls. This is where he gets his hands-off approach, generally letting people find out what to do themselves (if they want to do that) and only coming in when shit's really getting real.
- Married (to Millie) and has a dog (Bill Jr). Not planning on having any kids just yet.
- Is Christian! Obviously not the best one, cuz he ditches church whenever he feels too lazy. Goes to the Church of England and regularly falls asleep during the sermons there. Thankfully does not snore too much, and if he does, Millie fixes it with a smile on her face and an elbow to his ribs. Does believe in a higher being though, but goes with the Good Omens "humans do the good/bad things, not God or the Devil" theory.
- Played rugby when he was in university and now actually works as a part-time rugby coaching aide and call-in sports therapist (~yay, making up work~). He's pretty good at what he does and people automatically respect the big dude with a rugby history and has been in Afghanistan. Also, he's good with massages. Millie like~ (British) Football isn't his cup of tea, but it's fun to yell at the telly over who's winning or losing with other pub members.
- Work hours are flexible, as it depends on when the rugby team has games, so he's able to go on the Holmes chat in the middle of the night and bring beer to John at arse o'clock in the morning. Has pretty simplistic needs and his wife also works, no kids, so no real need to bust his arse working.
- Bill's fairly responsible about stuff IRL, but when he's with THE TEAM, all bets are off. Let the inner prankster and batshit insane boy be free~ People who see THE TEAM may think they're out-of-control and only one beer away from trashing the town, but actually, they're a pretty controlled kinda out-of-control, if that makes any sense. Bill knows his limits for things cuz he forced himself to. He doesn't want to pass that edge where he becomes an alcoholic or vandal or something that would hurt others.
- Bill has a car! Don't ask the player what kind it is cuz she knows fuckall about American cars, let alone UK ones. \o/ APPARENTLY HE DRIVES A VOLKSWAGEN GOLF I don't even know. But yes, he has a car and d'you know what that means (other than no serial killing cabbie adventures for him)? Yup, that's right, road trips.
- Is totally an AMAZING DRIVER BTW (no he isn't). Just enough to pass the driving test and be the designated chaffeur of THE TEAM. Wanna say that he was the one to accidentally run himself over, John? Also, he's totally pants with driving directions. He would get lost somehow if someone told him to go straight and then turn right once you hit a certain street. HOW FAR AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE OGOD DID HE SAY RIGHT OR LEFT AND WTF IS WITH THAT SIGN. Thank the Lord for GPS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More personal/specific info
- He's heard all the jokes regarding his name and how he totally doesn't look like Bill Murray. He used to get mad about it but has since mellowed out after meeting John Watson. Cuz. You know. Doctor John Watson. Being Bill Murray has nothing on that. Edit: Is never allowed to get mad about his name ever again, omg, what is your life, John.
- Has a huge dog. Huuuuge dog. A black mixed-breed one (he's like a mix of Mastiff, Newfoundland and Giant Pyrenees or something, which results in a fucking huge dog with shaggy fur). Bill does not call him "Dog" (cheers, John) as it is his dog and deserves a fittingly manly name (Bill Jr.). Millie bypasses this and calls him "Fluffums", just cuz she can. Dammit, Millie. The dog is super derpy and Bill not-so-secretly spoils the hell outta Junior.
- Knows the most randomass stuff purely because he surfs the internet often. This would come in handy in pub quizzes if he could remember past "OH I KNOW THIS um um something about a large rodent shitfuck I dunno."
- He's not so much blunt as he cuts through the BS when asking/telling people stuff. I mean seriously, "Are you two really fucking or what" is pretty damn straightforward. So if you're being a prick? He'll tell you that you're kinda a prick! But he usually uses this wonderful power called tact so wank doesn't follow him everywhere. XD
- Apparently has had piercings and is SUPER ticklish behind his ears. Had threatened John to secrecy about these things but the bastard's willing to tell other people, so he owes the man a noogie.
- Has a tramp stamp. Not even a classy one, no. A dolphin one. Bill is the proud owner of a pink Lisa Frank-ish dolphin tramp stamp. He has no idea when/how he got it, just sometime between training and deployment. You guys should already know who he blames. Millie loves the tattoo, so he hasn't gotten it taken off. The thing with the stamp wouldn't come up so much if he'd stop wearing slightly ill-fitting shirts when in casual company. They're obviously a lil too small for him but they're comfy dammit.
- Got invalided back at age 32, about 2 months after John was invalided home (4-5 years ago). Bullet took a chunk out of his thigh. Nearly bled out his femoral artery but he got saved by someone. Things are very handwave-y after that and he can run/walk for short-ish distances, but needs a cane other times cuz he has a limp that he refuses to acknowledge until it hurts too much. Has 2 canes (one awesome and metal, the other wood that has bite marks from Jr getting at it) but generally will try not to use them if he can get away with it.
- Hates small netbooks with a passion cuz it's such a pain to type in. Typos every other word, swear to God. But he loves the internet enough to bear with it, even though it makes him :C a lil.
- He is a VERY LOUD DRUNK. Can apparently still type well while having whiskey in him, although his capitalization suffers.
- Has a bit of a sweet tooth but it very much depends on the sweet. For example, marshmallows are too sticky sweet for Bill. He prefers sweet things with more of a hint of bitterness/spiciness to it, so dark chocolate with chili flakes are pretty much tailor-made for him. Oatmeal raisin cookies are also his favorite cookie of all cookies (biscuits?), because his mom made them whenever she was home and had time. Heeee's never gonna eat those eggs with the half-developed duckling in it (balut). Fuck no, that is disgusting.
- He's straight, but has had celeb crushes on some men (Ooh Jeremy Brett ooh). Also idolizes people like Stephen Fry. He's like a 1 on the Kinsey scale (0-6). He's only been with girls, but can count on one hand the men he's had sexual crushes on (all of them celebrities, hasn't met one IRL). Platonic crushes are a whole other thing. He is, thankfully, very secure in his sexuality so all gay happenings are met with a grin and a joking "piss off." Alternatively, deadpan statements of how strong and manly the other person is (he's tried fluttering his eyelashes before, Mike's told him that it looks like he's having a conniption).
- Not too big a fan of the '09 film but found it entertaining. Partly because Mike and John were SUPER into it (and Rachel McAdams) so he thought it was hilarious whenever they got drunk and the topic turned to the '09 film. He's totally not gonna notice the similarity between Hotson's cane and John's new cane. John-player already has permission to whack Bill with said cane for that.
- It takes a lot of alcohol to completely knock him out, but not altogether that much to get into that happy, hazy state where everything seems like a good idea, including taking John's favorite boxers and pulling it up the flag pole. He wasn't kidding about having fond memories of saluting to it, it was pretty damn funny. Eventually helped retrieve it before the commanding officers got too pissy.
- Fairly reserved when first meeting people, but once you get him talking, he lights up and it's hard to shut him up. ALSO, if you want to pull a prank on someone, he's your go-to guy. Lord knows John did.
- Was a punk (chav?) when younger, not quite gangster material as he lived in a not-so-bad part of town and they could never get their hands on him. Stopped when he was in sixth form after his maternal grandfather got in a hit-and-run and went into a coma for a week before dying. He decided to become a nurse because he was impressed by the one that was taking care of his granddad.
- Can sing fairly well, but only when sober. But he has to be drunk to even be persuaded to sing solo. This ends in drunk, tone-deaf singing whenever THE TEAM decides to join open-mic sessions at the pub. He knows music! He likes music! But hell if he can differentiate between a violin and a viola or pretty music that's sad from pretty music that's happy. That don't matter to him! Whatever makes the wife happy, man, he will even buy her Josh Groban music. :|b
- He loves action movies, but sadly, they do not love him as much anymore. PTSD has made him twitchy about major gunfights and explosions (God, the mines) and he had nightmares after "Hot Fuzz". Tried to desensitize himself over the years after Afghanistan, which helped a bit, but not enough for him to enjoy gun movies as much as he used to.
- Bill is apparently handy with installing things. At the very least, he doesn't fail as much as John does.
- Places he's been to:
* Disneyland (Anaheim, California); Liked it well enough, the weather was very much appreciated, the face characters coming on to his wife not so much
* Random places in England; He has a CAR, road trips obviously happened
* Afghanistan; Obvious
* Abu Dhabi (Capital United Arab Emirates); Apparently a safe spot that John and Bill's been to, player doesn't know much about this spot
*Spain; Random bit of leave he had with John and possibly others
- While at the hospital visiting his comatose grandfather, he totally asked all the nurses and doctors he could find about the most gruesome cases they had. They were pretty fascinating, and after he started studying to become a nurse, he'd always find time to research all the weird-ass shit so he can gross out people with stupid facts. Like teratomas. Do not google that if you don't want to be disgusted and/or morbidly fascinated. Mike and John found out about it one day when they were doing the same thing to other people. More bonding was had. We are the best bros, guys.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding fandom
- Skirting the edges of fandom enough to know the people and see the fanworks in it, but not enough to get pulled into wank. Sherlock Holmes fandom is the first fandom that's really gone deeper for him, so the shenanigans going on are much more personal.
- Does read other people's comments in posts and threadjumps sometimes.
- Doesn't actually know when he got into fandom, he'll be all "I'M A VETERAN ON THIS SIDE OF THE NET" but really is bullshitting you.
- Not too happy with it right now. Stalking people is never cool, guys.
