“Meet my best friend! John! Sadly he’s very shy…”
—School Poster in BBEG—
Oooooo… I think I might be growing fond of this friend dynamic…
Height Difference is no more…
Did the sketch at school, polished and refined it at home. First time I’ve posted traditional art here… Wee woo…
Happy Pride Month BBEG fandom! Have a fake doujin cover of a Shybi (Shy John x Billy) fanfiction that totally doesn’t exists…
What do you mean “if,” like I said it is not real! (lying)

Imagine when Alex (very tall) breaks into Billy’s house during Well-Made Win, he tries to fight Billy (shorter than average). But then here comes John (very very tall), absolute unit.
I think I might cry.
I’m mildly upset at how much effort I put into this…
Thinking about the plot of Billy’s Basic Educational Game, and I’m realising how gay it feels… You have this guy, he lives with his best friend; in the same house: for nearly 2 decades; and raising a kid together. But it’s very straight because he has a girlfriend he built out of scraps of metal and sillicon 😁👍
Hey so what is your favorited Bbieal au ship
:))
Apologies for late reply 🙏
TL;DR my favourite ships are Shybi, Billfriend, Joedina, Olivialex and Dollex.
Shybi 😮🧤 (Shy John x Billy)
Best friends to lovers trope + “Light in the dark” trope — very cliche but I adore it very much. I think that Billy always tries to portray himself as “well-made” to the public, but behind closed doors he’s literally everything except “well-made.” He’s emotional (Non-Emotional Creature being used to “clean up trash”); he doesn’t know how to deal with his emotions adequately (Vending machine of Beer, need I say more?); he’s tired (shoutout to Billy’s three jobs, mad respect to single-parent fatherhood 💪); he’s arrogant sometimes (This isn’t inspired by canon, I think Billy would have an ego from being always told he’s “well-made”); he’s haunted by things that aren’t there (The Great War, circa 1985, from CBA).
But despite all of this, there’s always one guy who has his back. And it’s his best friend, Shy John (⌒▽⌒) Why do I think that? Well, in the mods the only character to consistently appear is Shy John. Wherever Billy is, Shy John is there too. And of course Billy is very greatful for Shy John’s care. So much that he makes prioritises Shy John’s well-being over his (Funfact: Shy John’s sprite is the only one that is “undamaged” in “11 Years Later”). But not in an obssesive way, more of a “As long as he’s okay, then everything is okay” — self-destruction is not well-made!
Billfriend 🧤⏰ (Billy x Girlfriend/Old Friend)
So much of this is headcanon/personal interpretation because Girlfriend & Old Friend literally have 0 personality in the source material 😭
I think their relationship is tragic, Billy loved his old “friend” so much he built a robot to subsitute her. But the robot is a robot, therefore she can’t replicate Old Friend perfectly. I also find it poetic that Billy’s Girlfriend is only known as “Billy’s Girlfriend,” a title is the only thing she can replicate. She can never replicate his old friend… Someone that shared memories, struggles and celebrations with him…
This is also equally tragic from Old Friend’s perspective. She’s perceived as a dead soul, when in actuality she’s very much alive but trapped in The Office™ like she’s “Kaiba getting banished to the shadow realm.” If we’re to assume this is the same Office™ that FileName2 is trapped in, then Old Friend can still see Billy. But only as a spectator. She can’t interact with him; only watch his life progress with others, as her’s is trapped in purgatory alone.
Joedina 🍾🥔 (Joe x Baldina)
They’re both losers, therefore they should kiss. And then maybe along the way, they’ll help eachother become not losers. Mutual improvement!
Olivialex 🫒🌷(Olivia x Fake Alex)
It’s not the killing that they’re infatuated with. Olivia wants to genuinely hunt down and kill Alex for justice; Alex wants to hunt down Olivia as a way to mess with her and keep her for himself. Olivia is playing hero, while Alex is acting like a wannabe-yandere. Though they want to kill eachother, they just can’t… Olivia sees Alex as a fascinating discovery, something to be studied and cultivated; Alex sees Olivia as a desireable asset for doing work and keeping him company. They say they don’t want to be friends, but perhaps in a timeline where they didn’t want to kill eachother so bad, they could be co-workers.
They hate eachother so much it wraps back around to infatuation. They don’t love eachother, they’re just so obsessed with killing the other that they end up dedicating their whole lives to it. But once they actually get to killing or losing the other person, suddenly it feels wrong. Because after death, what do you do now?
Dollex 📓🌷(Dolly x Real Alex)
Mostly headcanon for Real Alex because he has 0 personality in source material ⚰️
From a bus stop to a weird house, Dolly and Alex are good friends who’ve gone through alot. When I say “gone through alot,” I mean Alex’s depression. Alex is troubled by many things: his work, the value of his life, his aspirations and most strangely… His house. To qoute Dolly from the MrDrNose discord server, “It was a weird and old apartment.” Maybe it’s the scratches on the walls; or the empty plates with steak juice despite Alex saying he’s not fond of eating meat; or the copious amount of broken broomsticks. Either way… Dolly thinks it’s best to ignore it. The only demons she knows about are Alex’s inner demons that make him feel miserable. And those are the only demons she’s willing to deal with. It’s not her job to care for him, it’s her choice. She loves Alex and wants to see him get better, Alex is in denial that someone can be so caring and kind towards him. But over time he learns to accept Dolly and her kindness into his life. And when he improves he’ll remember all the times Dolly helped him, so he’ll surely help Dolly when she’s in her darkest moments too! Snap out of this self-loathing and self-pity, finally do something with his life and help another life! So that both lives can live happily.
At least, that’s how it was supposed to go. If it wasn’t for the demon (literal) in the house and the demons (figuratively) in the mind…
Thought I was just writing funny cynical satire poking fun at uncomon & common tropes of fan-interpretations. But then I realised alot of the behaviours I ended up giving them to fit the satire just turned into real mental illness. You know what they say, “Write what you know.” Then why is there a 4chan user; and maladaptive-daydreaming-talks-to-drywall-guy sitting in my cast list.
They are hiding something… Something devious… Maybe even artsy or crafty…
Imagine when Alex (very tall) breaks into Billy’s house during Well-Made Win, he tries to fight Billy (shorter than average). But then here comes John (very very tall), absolute unit.
I think I might cry.
I remember the symbol I used for Shy John was 😮 because of his true face which is revealed when he takes off his mask. But I really like Roxy’s symbol Shy Worker which is 🍃 because he has a “fragile” or “weak” demeanor — like a wind that gets blown by wind! — so I want the Shy guys to match now. I’m changing Shy John’s symbol to 🍂
In a way, by allowing people to misinterpret him as a sweet child, Billy’s Son is the best liar. He doesn’t even need to say a lie, instead he lets people make up their own stories.
Shy John constantly having to push away any of Billy’s advances, even if he knows that they both reciprocate, because he knows that Billy isn’t in a right state of mind to handle love. Billy knowing this aswell, and yet he still continues with his self-destructive personality because he can’t find any other high to replace it.
Bid him farewell at the doorway once again, poor shy fellow. There he goes again, leaving with another naive muse. Stand there by the doorway, knowing that neither of them will ever know true love, because your beloved refuses to change. Stand there, knowing that when he comes home again, and it will be your arms not her’s that he will look for. You will accept him again, and again, but then you will be the one who has to lay him down to lie alone with his thoughts because you cannot change him. His fault is his person, not your care.
You are too kind to your beloved, but what else can you do? Kindness is the only thing that will stop him from snuffing out his own lights. Stand there knowing that he will rot in his own loneliness, and you will watch because you cannot change anything, only offer kindness. He is a loner with many friends, but you are his best. So why can’t you change anything? Why do you only offer kindness… Why can’t you save him…
