Loving this fic, so glad I binged it. :) I've been looking for a dtmg story like this. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to say No to EctoFeature. Nothing bad against anyone who ships it but it's not my cup of tea and I'm super loving the family aspect you have going on here. I feel like it's good for Billy to have that since it seems like he didn't for much of his life after becoming famous.

You have no idea how long I've been searching for a DTMG fic like this! Your writing style is lovely, you have an amazing storyline, the characters are perfectly written, I mean seriously! How did you manage to keep everyone's favorite ghost so in character and yet add so many layers to him? You're amazing! And Lolo! That was like the perfect intro! I always thought that there had to be a reason that she hates Spencer so much and you went and wrote the perfect scenario for it! And the twins! I love how you didn't make them be friends with Spencer immediately, this route that you took just added so much to the story and I feel like it really adds some more layers to their friendship. And Adam! Normally I'm kinda so-so when it comes to people adding oc's to a story, but I think that Adam is a work of art that should be loved forever! And don't get me started on Rusty and Warren or the Woods! They deserve hugs! Billy deserves hugs! I just want to give everyone hugs! The way you wrote the family relationship between the Wrights was also really cute, and I just love the way you write about Billy and Spencer's friendship! It has its ups and downs, but you know that they'll always be bros for life! And though I really don't ship ectofeature, like at all, whether or not it is included in the story won't deter me from loving this any less than I do now! You really did a superb job of writing this! Thanks for creating the best DTMG fic that I had the pleasure of reading thus far!

*this review is for 16, but I can't leave another comment for that chapter, unfortunately, so I had to leave one here. ;3;*

I'm quite curious about Billy's relationship with his father. Before, I had initially thought he might have a good relation with both his parents. But after coming up with that headcanon about his mother, it makes me think he was more of a Mommy's Boy and care more for her.

Spencer's a pure soul in that he knows where to set his priorities; calling Billy and his feelings more important than partying with his new friends. He seems so mature for his age! I'm very proud of my strawberry-sundae son. ;v;

Just pierce my heart with that intrusive thought why don't you? ;3; *hugs Billy* Another sign of Billy growing as a character is him apologizing first. Before, it seemed like he either didn't do it or waited for the other person to do it first BEFORE deciding whether or not they were worth apologizing to. It's good to see him learning more friendship lessons because of Spencer! (Twilight Sparkle would be proud xD)

You're just killing me with these scenes between these two and I'm sure you take great pleasure in knowing how much of an effect they have on me, but I just adore them so much to ask you to tone them down because that's not what I want ;3333;. The angstier and more heartfelt, the better!

Billy looks all but 12 when he gets emotional and distraught like this, precious baby. ;3;

The tool-puns are another thing I love about their characters and their dialogue. Spencer uses them more often, but it's sweet that Billy had injected them into his own vocabulary time-to-time. Billy will have a field day when Spencer starts using bro-puns!

The trust/rely line is so good :0.

Spencer is the master of deadpanning while Billy is the pun king kldshfd.

Everyone wants a chance to hang out with the Cobra, but only to get something from him. I love that Spencer just wants to hang with him because they enjoy each other's company and best qualities! My heart is singing happily at this point.

Billy, stop using distractions and your ego as defense mechanisms, it's not healthy. ;3;

ALSKDHF Now you got ME curious about that raspeberry punch story! Did you actually come up with something for that part?

Hearing Billy say things like Spencer's too young for some things brings the uncle thing to mind immediately klsdh.

The Red Death, Billy I know you're dramatic but omg alkdsh. Speaking of clothes, I love that you gave Billy the necessary skills in sewing and have him patch up his own, along with Spencer's clothes! It's a very handy talent to have, especially for someone as fond as looking fabulous as the Cobra is!

The puns Billy creates with Spencer's name give me life, Spenstar and Spenknife being just two of my faves. uwu

LSAKHD I cracked up at Billy scolding Spencer for using foul language while being proud at the same time. His paternal instincts just surfaced there alksdh. BILLY no, you can't use Windex for that purpose! Definitely one of my favorite pieces of dialogue, you're so witty and I love it!

Deviled eggs and egg salad, darn you for making me hungry xD.

Warren Peace, you sly fox with the punny names! Because you gave him a cowboy hat, there's a character from "Randy Cunningham: 9th Ninja" that comes to mind and he's now forever associated with Warren xD.

I feel bad, but I'm afraid I'm having issues understanding what Billy and Spencer were trying to do with Rusty. ;33; Can you explain it, please?

Also, Rusty and Warren suddenly being all buddy-like seems very fish taco, to me. I have a feeling they might be involved somehow with the Black Desert Club. Very suspicious.

On the other hand, Rusty sounds like a sweetie and that he actually cared for Billy more than Billy realized (or didn't, instead assuming he hated him). It could be an act and I love not knowing which it could be because it just adds more to the mystery. Billy's lost memories seem rather suspicious, as well. This is getting so good!

I love all the weird positions Billy floats in and you keeping that mind when you write him!

I had the same realization about twins, too, Billy, don't feel bad xD.

Mr. Steel inviting Spencer over to his house is sending alarm bells ringing. I hope I'm wrong about him :0.

Billy being a mother hen to Spencer is absolutely precious alhk I love how he still doesn't quite trust the twins, juuuust yet, even if Spencer is starting to! He's lived in Hollywood long enough to not let your guard down so easily!

One thing I noticed in the show is that when Billy does phase through people, they don't seem to react like you'd think they would. Not even Spencer does, and he can see and feel him! Was this just an oversight from the writers or can Billy control his temperature so it doesn't make people uncomfortable or sense him?

Rajeev, you card. Is his crush on Lolo also going to be a thing, or is that something you omitted for the sake of bettering his character? :) Personally, I find his advances on her to be a bit creepy. XD

Also, I had a feeling Rajeev might have been the older twin. His and Shanilla's sibling banter is cute, too!

The thought of Billy giving Spencer pointers on how to perfect the puppy dog look is too adorable asldkh. Just as much as it is him including Billy on his movie idea by having him handle the SFX 3. The four bromigos are slowly becoming a thing, and I can't wait until it does!

The bit with the guitar, I squeed a little. It was a small thing seeing Billy be appreciative of the twins for just a moment and I laughed when Billy startled Rajeev for just sticking his hand through his face. xD

Along with Spencer making friends with Shanilla and Rajeev, it's pretty dang sweet you gave Jessica a friend in Ariel! I hope they stick together and that Jesscia doesn't end up scaring her away. ;v; She seems like she would have issues keeping friends because of her violent temper, so it'd be nice of her to be able to have at least one to help keep her in check, just like with Billy and Spencer!

ALSO, I love that you gave Billy the ability to phase people and objects along with him. I noticed that in the show, he seemed to be able to do this, as indicated by some objects he held being transparent and having a glow effect around them. Unless this was an animation error, I think this is what the animators were going for, though in some cases it seemed like Billy forgot he could do this.

I think the sleepover would seem more fun with the four of them on excellent terms with each other, so hopefully a second chance for one will come up later!

Just when I thought the cuteness couldn't get any sweeter, you go and throw in a hug, I love you. ;vvvvvv;

I wanna like Warren, too, because he also seems like a swell guy, but my suspicions are still on high-alert.

I'm kinda surprised they don't realize the relation Spencer has with Billy and why it wouldn't seem weird that he calls him by his name instead of Mr. Cobra, unless it's another thing I'm having trouble understanding?

ALKSDH Keep telling yourself that Billy. We all know whose hand had to be held for comfort lksdh.

I love the look into Spencer's psyche when it comes to his passion for horror-based things. It definitely makes me see it in a new light and helps him feel more relateable. Real life horrors are far scarier than ficional ones!

MOAR HUGS *is dead*. My ghost will be reviewing from here on out. :P AAH this big bro/little bro vibe I'm getting from them is soooo friggen sweet! I can't express it enough or more than I already have of how much I love them. ;vvvvv;

Someone needs to draw Spencer in his blanket burrito alsdh.

"I don't speak adolescent sleep cycle" you're killing me with lines like these! xDDDDDD What a dad alsdkh.

OH, before I forget, I also want to say that I love that you put a bathroom in Spencer's room. Considering it was Billy's before, you'd think his own personal toilet would be included in it. I don't think the show went with that direction; only two have been shown: the master and guest bathrooms, both downstairs. So that's another great added detail!

Billy the mother hen at it again lkaSdh.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH rereading this was so refreshing and really makes me wish it wasn't 12:40 am so I could work more on my fic aksdh. This is definitely up there with being one of the most adorable chapters I've read, this far! I can't recall if I had given that title to another one or not. If so, then it's possible this had taken its place!

The mystery is being set up so nicely and the pacing is so smooth! Is Spencer going to be going to school anytime soon (or is he on summer break?) and are you going to work in Billy's various forms he's taken (like his cheer form-my personal fave-or his bird form?) Like, maybe he could learn about his shape-shifting powers (if he hadn't, already. I can't recall you having him turn into something).

This was the best bday gift I received, and I appreciate so very much! It was chalk-full of so many beautiful moments and scenes that made me giddy with feels! You were so sweet in dedicating this chapter to me! Thank you!

This is a reply to your notes before I get to reviewing the chapter! I wanted to get this out of the way first!

:O You don't remember Walter Minotaur? He first appeared in the ep, "School of Terror" as a replacement for Principal Ponzi! He's super buff and obsessed with discipline, sorta like the military drill sergeant type with the voice and body to match!

A buff red-head seems like the perfect choice for Adam! :) I honestly never read Artimis Fowl ;~; but I know the butler of Cats Don't Dance, so I can see that vividly! :D

Oh gosh, it's been ages since I last heard anything by Maroon 5, it seems. I'll have to change that because their music is very awesome! Any cultural references based on people or things I love is one of my favorite things, so please keep at it! :D

Omg, I sensed that Adam had been Billy's Spencer long before they met! It's sweet that Billy has both of his morality chains now!

If Lolo wasn't so set in her old ways and wasn't so snobby, I could see her being redeemed at some point.

x3 I love the connection between Billy Joe Cobra and Billie Joe Armstrong, especially since I adore them both so much and because I'm so into Green Day right now! That was an excellent choice in making BJC bisexual, as well! I can definitely see him sort of "experimenting" around just to make certain of who he is.

Along with being a distant cousin/big bro figure to Spencer, I always thought of Billy as an uncle figure to him, as well, like the fun/cool type! I support those endeavors so very much, as well!

Awww, really? :D YAY! I'm very happy to hear that! QwQ That was such an entertaining scene, I loved it so much! Jessica definitely does deserve more attention and recognition and I'm so happy she's going to get that because of you!

AWYIS, we definitely do! *high five*

Awww, poor Billy :. Hopefully his fears will subside once he, Shanilla, and Rajeev are introduced to each other! But I can't help but love the added conflict and insecurities he feels with them around!

Thank you so much for this wonderful chapter! It was the best bday gift (lol as we get older, the bday gifst in my family don't come as often xD), especially considering how I had to spend it and the following weeks ;v;. I wish I could say that these past few weeks were great, but they weren't. I spent 7 days (5 one week, 2 another week) in the hospital and had recently, finally, undergone surgery to fix the issue I had and am slowly recovering now with scars to show and some slight pain made better by some prescribed meds.

I'm doing alright now, but it still upsets me that I can't have a do-over on these past few weeks because of it. I feel so out of it for everything and am trying to get back to a normal routine, but it feels weird. Like I said, though, your story, along with drawing more DTMG, helped me keep busy and entertained for as long as I was there and I'm so thankful for this fic! You have much talent and despite me being an English Composition Major, your skills far surpass my own and I love using your fic as inspiration to keep working on my fics! It really helps a lot and I feel more confident in them!

I'm so glad my reviews make you happy and help inspire you to continue! With each update, I get so excited to read more and see what else the story has in store and to see the characters grow, develop, and interact! Endearing relationships such as that of Billy and Spencer are what I look forward to the most and are my most favorite parts!

No to Ectofeature. They’re related for one, I don’t care how distant it is. And I’ve always saw them as family, you know... brothers.
Now the end of the party is rather surprising to see. Didn’t think it would start getting into more emotional stuff.

Another amazing chapter delivered by you! Oh, and sorry about the spelling disaster from my last comment, I don't know what happened there! You obviously know my opinion on the matter of ectofeature, so I won't need to specify that. Also, side note, have you considered a career in writing? Because I think you could do really well, not mention it'd make you happy since why else would you be writing this fic? Anywho, that's my daily dose of creeping in on others lives! Happy writing! :p

LFKHS These charaterizations are just so perfect, I love them ;3;. Also, whenever Adam is in the scene, Walter Minotaur always comes to mind, or at least someone who has a similar build to him. As a bodyguard, this just seems right for him xD.

Also rereading back to chapter 12, I just realized Indigo 6 was a reference to Maroon 5 :P, I am also loving all these references; they're so fun and clever! Billy and Lolo eating their feelings (and Billy freaking out the partygoers) was funny, especially when Billy just started mirroring Lolo xD.

The more interaction scenes Billy and Adam have, the more I enjoy them! They always have such meaningful conversations as well as some fun ones, too! You did a wonderful job in creating a character that can both be fun and put Billy in his place! Along with Spencer, that's just who Billy needs as a friend!

Arceus, thinking that Billy's unfinished business (whatever that is) might be done soon and that he'll go away forever and leave Spencer all alone is just too scary and heartbreaking to think about; even more so with the thought of everyone Billy cares about will one day die (and might not come back as a ghost like him), leaving him alone again! ;AAAAAAAA;

I often forget to separate the Baruch and Billy personalities since everyone just got so used to referring to the ghost as Billy Joe Cobra and making me forget that's it's just a stage name. Many others have thought to give the two different personalities: Baruch is the caring, protective personality that shows when Spencer or his friends are in trouble or need a true friend since that's most likely what he's always wanted in his life- only to be stuck with fake friends who only loved him for his fame and money- while Billy Joe Cobra is the party animal troublemaker who ruins video shoots.

I can see that you did this here, even without directly saying it, and I really appreciate that! It just adds more depth into Billy's character and makes him so much more than a nuisance that people who don't like the show or never thought so deep about him see him as.

Billy's prank with the jeans was gold and just so seems like a Cobra thing to do ;v; Their pranks on each other are just adorable, but never go too far; just enough to be brilliant, which is fantastic xD. Someone needs to draw those jeans on either Billy, Spencer, or Rajeev :P.

I'm happy that the ice was broken with Rajeev (that joke was painful though, omg xD) and Shanilla and that Spencer is on the right path of having them as his human best friends!

I really love how you wrote the later scene between Spencer and Lolo and actually presented the origin of their bitter hatred towards each other. Lolo's speech was chilling and spot on and Spencer calling her out was sooooo good. You know you're right and hit a nerve when someone throws punch at you!

ALKDH The scene with Billy admiring a teen heartthrob was a call to his potential homosexuality/bisexuality, wasn't it? That was cute! AAH I loved that he took the punch to the face for Spencer and then immediately went to check him over like the caring cuz he is! It's so heartwarming seeing their relationship grow seemingly with each new installment!

Also, I have a feeling this wasn't the first time Billy did the whole Bubble and Glittering! ALSKDH I know I keep saying "love" a lot, but I loved Jessica standing up to Lolo and Adrien (poor guy needs a bonus, especially after that beat-down).

I think you're the only one who actually made Jessica someone who shows her care for Spencer in her own way and not left her as the stereotypical bratty sister. As someone who is like Jessica in the doesn't-show-her-emotions-often-but-don't-mess-with-her-family kind of way and who has an older brother, that was very touching to me.

Baruch Miller Cohen just rolls off the tongue so nicely. His last resort method to get him to stop pitying himself was great, but poor guy :(. Him having a breakdown over Spencer having "alive" friends was so heartwrenching.

I'm sorry my reviews tend to be mega long, but I just want to touch on the points that I loved a lot! I really only do this with fics I enjoy so much! This one was a particular roller coaster of many emotions and I'd love to ride it again! It just seems this story gets better and better with each update and I'm always looking forward to getting the email alerting me when you do! I'm happy to see others enjoying this wonderful, feelsy, and extremely well written fic, as well!

Billy mentioning his father actually reminded me of another headcanon I came up with about his mother on tumblr. If you're willing to listen, I'd love to share it with you!

I hav impotant question.. will this be an ectofeature fic? Like I'm not talking about ectofeature fic as in the couple will be the main plot but that they will become some sort of couple? Because I'd really love that!

I. AM. LOVING THIS STORY! I'm so glad I found this story, it's so hard to find actually good stories that are either completed or are being updated regularly, so thank you so much!

Honestly, they’ve always had a height difference if you notice in the show at the right times.
But oh my, bubbles and glitter, that’s even better than turning Lolo into a chicken.

Not sure what to say other than I’m interested.

SAKDHSFL Don't stress yourself out too much, my dear! ;w; You write this story the way YOU want to! I just love seeing Billy and Spencer being so close as well as Billy's ghostly antics on those who deserve it, such as those committee members! That dull party wouldn't be the same with Billy acting up in one way or another-whether he's a ghost or not!

Also, I so did not see Shanilla and Rajeev being spies for Lolo! I was worried about their snobbish personalities, but I suppose to fit in with the A-listers at Beverly High, you'd have to do practically anything, like Billy said! But I love how Spencer just stood up to Lolo rather than risk losing who is he is! That was very in character and I always loved seeing Spencer stand up to her and tell her off! Though, if the circumstances were different, it would be nice seeing Lolo and Spencer as friends.

I just got the puns you did with Holly and Ash Wood's names (well the former being obvious but Ash took me a while xD). Glad to see you got that naming scheme down, they're so fun! I'm curious to see where their investigation leads and I'm glad Holly isn't one of those stuck up people I feared she would be! I'm glad she has actual, genuine feelings for Billy!

Oh, also I forgot to mention this tiny detail from your last chapter, but I love that you made Billy 6'5" ! He always did seem so very tall (partial reason why he appeals so much to me!) I just pegged him as the average 6 foot-6'2"! But this is Billy, we're talking about; he's anything BUT average! :P And Spencer being tiny for his age is also adorable! I had thought a similar thing about him and just makes his and Billy's friendship all the cuter! But I also love that you keep it realistic with their disputes and disagreements; keeping each of them so perfectly in character with Spencer's logic and wanting to be true to himself, and Billy with his wild expressions and tendency to do whatever it takes to keep himself at the top and to help Spencer fit in more with such a posh society!

Ooh, the Black Desert Club sounds intriguing! I'll be looking forward to it! Next month's update will be considered an early b-day surprise to me! x333

This is an absolutely amazing story so far! It's so good to see a newer DTMG fanfic especially since this show's fandom is so so so very small now. I can't wait to read the other chapters!

! Aaah, thank you for the shout-out! ;333; I'm so glad my review had an impact on you and that it helped inspire you to write more! Thank you so much! I definitely look forward to these monthly updates; this story has become my favorite DTMG fanfic, and my overall favorite fanfic! It has helped cheer me up a lot and I have laughed so many times with your accurate and amazing portrayals of Billy and Spencer! I also love how Billy reacts around Jessica! xD

I have been enjoying Adam's character and every scene he's in! His connection with Billy is so pure! The introduction of Shanilla and Rajeev was also handled so well and I love how you took a different approach with them than I initially thought their first meeting with Spencer would go! I don't think I have to worry too much about how they'll get along later on! With the Cobra running the party as best as an invisible ghost can, I'm sure the party will turn out alright P.

Also, the references to Billie Joe Armstrong and Robin Williams were fantastic and I couldn't help but laugh when Spencer said he was a pug dealer! Also, I don't think you rushed Spence's and Billy's first meeting; I thought it was paced rather nicely! I'll definitely be looking forward to reading more! I can't wait to see how the party goes and when Shanilla and Rajeev finally meet Billy! I also am looking forward to Billy getting revenge on Spencer's kidnappers, if that's still planned! Please keep up the wonderful work, my dear! You're doing such an incredible job!

I can't even begin to tell you how much of an absolute pleasure this was to read! Your writing style is so amazing and intricate! I love how some of the chapters had different POVs of the same situation; that was very cool! I also love how you wrote Billy and Spencer. And the parts with Madame X were handled very well, too!

The songs were a great idea, too, especially when he told off Mr. Shankly! I laughed so hard at that part! My favorite bits would have to be the kidnapping/rescue and when Billy and Spencer finally made up and become the great friends we know and love! I'm so looking forward to reading more of this, please keep it up!
