Wayne’s opinion on Richard Harrington is not good and his opinion on his kid is not all that great either. He didn’t forget all the times Eddie complained about the boy and his friends, no sir.
Eddie says that Steve has turned over a new leaf but Wayne thinks the kid is rude. He’s over at their house all the time and ignores Wayne half the time when he’s talking to him. Kid is eating the food out of his kitchen and can’t even give him the time of day?
He mentions it to Eddie once when Steve wasn’t around and Eddie, around a mouthful of Frosted Flakes, asks, “Did he have his hearing aids in?”
“What?”
“Yeah, he hates ‘em so he never wears them,” Eddie shrugs. “Can’t hear for shit without ‘em though.”
Well.
Now Wayne feels like an asshole.
the post-tumblr-sexyman era 2016-2020ish backlash against bill cipher was so interesting in hindsight. i definitely participated in it, albeit passively, feeling too ashamed to admit that the corny edgy cheshire-joker smile hot topic villain is cool. i'm sorry, but it's true. the concept of being possessed by a being of pure id and sadism is fucking cool. deal-with-the-devil types are cool.
this doesn't cancel out the fact that he is also deeply, deeply pathetic, a trait now considered desirable in the post-sexyman era. bottomless confidence and edgy slogans are out, pathetic sopping wet cat guys are IN. and brother, book of bill is cocaine in that respect, heavily emphasizing his wet-catness that is completely his own fault yet still pitiable. thus it is acceptable once again to unironically go cuckoo bananas for bill cipher
