boyfriend

Boyfriend, alternatively referred to as The Boyfriend or shortened to BF, is the protagonist of Friday Night Funkin'. He is a young singer and rapper whose main goal is to gain approval to date Girlfriend, but he must sing off against her evil ex-rockstar father, Daddy Dearest, his popstar wife Mommy Mearest, and many other characters that stand in his way. He has an unused track called Test. Boyfriend is a young, light-skinned man with spiky cyan hair and a confident expression. He wears a magenta-white T-shirt with a red prohibition sign, baggy dark blue pants, pink-red sneakers with magenta-white shoelaces and soles as well as black dots on the quarters, and a backward pink-red cap with a dark blue brim. He holds a bluish gray microphone in his right hand while keeping his left hand in his pocket, and is drawn in a chibi style. Boyfriend is portrayed as a young, overzealous rapper with a love for music, donuts,[7] and his girlfriend. He loves to sing and show off his skills, resulting in his confident and cocky character. He is very determined and persistent about reaching his goals and won't let anyone get in the way of his success, even when threatened with death. Despite his cockiness and confidence, Boyfriend is quite sensitive, as he was easily stunned by Tankman's insults, as seen in the cutscene for Stress.

Boyfriend is implied to be clingy, as he is never seen without Girlfriend by his side. He is also very unintelligent, as he either does not realize when he is in danger or becomes overconfident in his ability to get to safety.[8] As a result, he is essentially fearless.[9] This is demonstrated during both Monster and Winter Horrorland, where he does not appear to be afraid despite Monster's constant threatening towards him and Girlfriend. However, he isn't incapable of feeling fear, as he is extremely astraphobic, meaning he's afraid of lightning.[10] Boyfriend also shows that he gets bored of scary games, as he once almost fell asleep while playing one.[11] Despite his stupidity, Boyfriend is not completely devoid of intelligence; having street smarts, he knows how to heal people,[12] and also has good intuition.[13]

Boyfriend is neurodivergent, as he has been diagnosed with ADHD and is autistic.[14] Oftentimes, when talking to others, he will simply make beeping sounds instead of speaking normally.[15] This is shown throughout Week 7, where he is mostly silent and only makes a beeping sound in response to Tankman saying "Well, well, well, what do we got here?" Boyfriend is capable of speech, however, as he is shown talking normally in multiple official artworks, and seems to usually communicate verbally with those whom he is close with. He is also a creative individual, which is demonstrated by his talents as a musician and freestyle rapper. The ERECT remixes show that he can even put his own twist on the songs of others in an instant. Boyfriend has low levels of empathy,[13] but isn't apathetic, as he expresses sorrow towards Spirit in an official doodle by PhantomArcade (though its canonicity is debatable). He may live in a messy place, as he does not wash his dirty clothes and continuously moves a pile of them around his room depending on his needs, which also suggests that he has executive dysfunction.[16] His object permanence is also not very good at times.[17]

Boyfriend seems quite willing to do immoral things. From tricking iPad children on YouTube for money and cigarettes,[1] getting as much free food as possible from McDonald's while holding the store hostage, hogging up drive-throughs,[18] and vandalizing PlayPlaces,[19] Boyfriend does not appear to care if the things he does are wrong as long as he can get what he wants. In addition, he appears to be somewhat destructive and influenced by anger, as whenever his phones fail to work properly, his first instinct is to destroy them in bizarre and extreme ways.[20][21] Boyfriend is not without morals, however, as he can be friendly with others, such as Skid and Pump, although he wouldn't hesitate to curse in front of them. he uses slang when he speaks and he cusses alot.
