Boyfriend

Boyfriend' is the primary protagonist of the popular rhythm game Friday Night Funkin, as well as a majority of the game's custom mods. Throughout the course of the game and several in-game weeks, he fights characters in song who are trying to break up him and Girlfriend.
==Basic Information==
Boyfriend is an overzealous, confident freestyle rapper and college dropout. He is dating Girlfriend, which her father Daddy Dearest disapproves of and thus ultimately conspires to try and break up. Throughout the course of the in-game weeks, Boyfriend is confronted by several characters who attempt to either kill or break up the pair, though thanks to both his love for his girlfriend and his fearlessness bordering on obscene, he is not one to back down without a fight.
More information can be found on the Friday Night Funkin' wiki.
==Archetypes==
===4th Wall Blurring===
Most commonly displayed in his peace pose during Week 1, looking into the camera whenever he gets a good set of combos.
===Alternative Fashion===
His trademark outfit is a white t-shirt with a prohibition symbol, baggy jeans, and a backwards red cap.
===Artsy ===
Both a singer and a freestyle rapper, both commonly shown throughout the game.
===Distinctive Voice ===
Frequently shown throughout both the main game and several mods to talk in a variety of beeps, though it's also said he tends to communicate verbally with those he's close with.
===Goober===
While said to have the intelligence of a squirrel, he is also said to be much more street smart than book smart.
===LGBTQ+===
He is canonically bisexual.
===Neurodivergent===
Boyfriend is confirmed to have ADHD and is on the autism spectrum, alongside his girlfriend.
===Perpetual Smiler===
More often than not sporting a confident smirk. This only really falters in the main game whenever you miss a note or get a Game Over, though some mods have customized his expressions further.
===Theme Song===
While a handful of tracks could count as such considering he has a role in singing all of them, perhaps the main two are the title theme "Gettin' Freaky" and the game over theme "Game Over (Don't Stop)".
==Fanon Tropes==
===Cipherization/Fanon Splintering ===
Many different mods have different variations of Boyfriend. Some of these have been portrayed to interact with each other in some way by fan artists and developers of mods. Some of the most popular are from C-Sides and D-Sides, Arrow Funk, Vs. Sonic.EXE, Happy Tree Funker's Bunny BF, Dave & Bambi: Golden Apple Edition's 3D BF, Faker Boyfriend, Animatronic BF, Highjinks BF, Soul BF, Silly Billy BF/Yourself, and a plethora of others.
===Marked Canon/Fanon Divergence===
Thanks in large to the assortment of AUs and the range of popularity the game extends, this is to be expected, both in simplicity and grandiose.
==Subverted Tropes==
===Smol ===
Boyfriend is canonically 7'0"/~213cm tall. Still, this doesn't stop people in and out of game from referring to him as such. Which is kinda of surprising since when you look at him in the game’s art style he’s shown as chibi sized? Freakin creepy man.
