Since I enjoy the theory/headcanon that Invisi-Bill is related to Victoria Best I like to think of him as her uncle! There’s quite a bit I would like to speak about.
Note: This is a lot of headcanons put together!
TW: mentions of homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and child abuse
Invis-Bill’s flaws: He’s generally “flawed”, he’s not seen as a villain even after going to Villain School, and his attempts to rob the jewelry store are quickly shut down by Wordgirl. Some people might find him annoying which is another “flaw” as the Bests most likely look down upon. They speak very precise and to the point with the show’s usual “wow this person is rich and prestigious” voice that we see in other characters like Reginald. Invisi-Bill breaks that and speaks his mind in a happy-go-lucky way. He doesn’t care he’s “flawed” at all, because he is no longer part of that family. He also is boyfriends with BLHG, which can be seen as a “flaw” to close minded people (which Victoria’s parents very much are close-minded) other “flaws” may include: Invisi-Bill having AuDHD, being trans, ect. Which are often looked down upon by close-minded people.
Invisi-Bill’s mediocrity: As stated before, Invisi-Bill isn’t even seen as a villain from his peers. His villain status was completely diminished, but the thing the show did was amazing. Throughout that episode: we see Glen Furlblam and Raul Demiglasse waving and smiling at Invisi-Bill and BLHG when their villain status comes into question. When their status is revoked, they are still met with that same enthusiasm from the two as they were before (even though the other villains looked down upon them!) Even from the lowest rank, the two are met with people who really want to be their friends! They do not care about status at all, and instead get along from their mutual mediocrity in a world of villains trying to be #1. Yes, the two were upset about it of course (the two worked really hard to try and keep their status) but it really doesn’t keep them down as you see them commit other crimes and continue to be themselves. If Victoria fails at ANYTHING her parents immediately chastise her, and you can tell it makes her upset deep down. She has always been taught that she must be the best, and mediocrity is frowned upon.
Victoria Best: Victoria is a multitalented young girl in the Best Family. Her talents are best shown in her debut episode of the same name as she is given all of the awards except for one at the school talent show. The only award she didn’t get was the award for the best reader (which went to Becky Botsford AKA Wordgirl whose main ability is her vocabulary and fast reading skills!) She actually WON all of those awards at that talent show! She only begins stealing awards when her parents begin to chastise her. Her parents are unhappy when Victoria fails at a single thing, even if she won a million other things, and it really gets to her (even if she tries to not show it, or gets shut down from showing her emotions). She’s truly a child prodigy, and yet her parents treat her like winning is expected of her even if it’s something she’s actually not good at or hurts her in the process (like when she ate all those salty crackers and it hurt her throat). She clearly has barriers up to keep herself safe from the amount of verbal abuse she receives from her parents. She continues telling herself that she is in fact the best at everything, and failure to do so means she’s a failure.
The main point: Invisi-Bill grew up in the Best family, but he was estranged after his many flaws. No matter how hard he tried, he still failed, and it was difficult for him to get over. He has a hard time paying attention due to his ADHD, and he can be taken as rude when he says things that come into his head. Yet after all the trauma, all the struggle, he still came out to be such a happy guy. He finally got away from all the expectations from the family and he got to take a step back to fully see the world for what it is. A flawed mess. He takes pride in his flaws, and he loves himself for who he is, not who people want him to be, or the expectations people put on him. He never exactly got to meet Victoria until she was 10-11, and even then he could hardly speak to her. He had to hide the fact he was speaking to her from his brother (her father) so he wouldn’t get mad at him or Victoria. Invisi-Bill is the one to truly understand her turmoil, and he listens to her vent and cry about everything happening. He tells her that he loves her, and it’s the most genuine thing she’s ever heard. He loves her, flaws and all. He wants to support her in doing the things she wants to do, and telling her she doesn’t have to be the best at it right away. Happiness is the most important thing of them all, and Invisi-Bill teaches her that.
Thank you for listening to my rant!
