[maple-leifarts]

YOUR TURN

🙃

uhhh the first thing that i can think of off the top of my head is that neil cicierega (lemon demon)’s sister helped make ducktales :3

[forgetriestowrite]

I watched The Owl House before Gravity Falls, so hearing King's voice come out of the mouth of one of the most infamous villains in pop culture was a WILD experience

[whyismangososour]

you know .. I used to like the theory that bill got reincarnated as hooty but now that I’ve actually started watching the owl house … I become more and more convinced on a daily basis that he actually reincarnated as king

[litrallytyrus]

STARTED WATCHING THE OWL HOUSE. how did it take me this long

[alilweirddragon]

I think the first ever thing I'd ever seen of the Owl House was sometime during 2020, when I saw a mini clip of the body swap episode with King as Luz flying away with Boschas friends

I had no clue of what was going on and I thought Luz was some sort of edgelord rebel lmao

[mastersprogram]

Literally though to the point I’ve seen some people mix them up, its hilarious 😭

i think im noticing a trend with people whos first name is alex

Okay, but hear me out……… Alex Hirsch as King Boo using his Bill Cipher voice

Hmmmm, I don't see it. Bill Cipher's voice has too much "tiny salesman with a lot of charisma" energy that doesn't quite fit the character. King Boo is more of an "enormous emotionally unstable mob boss" sort of guy.

There are two options that I feel would work best for King Boo:

A harsh, raspy voice that imitates his in-game noises (like an Alex Brightman or a Mark Hamill)

A deep, melodious voice that emphasizes his intimidating nature and fits the canon of his opera number in SMB Wonder (like a Laurence Fishburne or a Clancy Brown)

[sage-nebula]

When The Owl House first came out, there was a lot of discussion surrounding how King could potentially be Bill, with the most common theory being that Bill had somehow been reincarnated into King by the Axolotl. After all, not only does Alex Hirsch voice both of them, but the voice he uses for King is very similar to the voice he uses for Bill. (Very similar, but not the exact same; apart from not having the voice distortion, King's voice is higher pitched. King's voice is basically Bill's voice before Bill hit puberty, lmao.) Apart from that, both King and Bill are demons; King had an obsession with ruling, power, and conquest; King has yellow sclera; and, well, people were desperate for connections between Gravity Falls and The Owl House, to the point where I actually did end up pretty annoyed for awhile that people weren't letting The Owl House stand on its own two feet and were instead treating it like a sequel show. (Though there are actual, canonical connections between them now, the most notable being that Eda married Stan for less than 24 hours in Vegas so that she could rob him blind, lmao. He still thinks fondly of her to this day, as he should.)

I bring this up because I never really subscribed to this theory, or thought very much of it . . . until now. It's not that I think the theory is more plausible now, but more that I think that the idea holds a sort of poetic beauty to it now, if it was true. (Which again, I don't think it necessarily is, but more that it's a nice "what if" to think about.) And the reason for that comes from information that we gained from The Book of Bill, along with additional information that we've now gained from the website, along with how King's story arc developed and played out in The Owl House. (So, spoilers for that show, the new book, and the website if you haven't kept up with any of that.)

Essentially:

It's been heavily implied for years now (to the point where, in my personal opinion, it was known, but to be safe I'm saying heavily implied) that Bill destroyed his home dimension. In the show, Bill says that he "liberated" his home dimension, and when he brings it up, there is fiery imagery around him that is similar to the rift that opens in the sky to link Gravity Falls to the Nightmare Realm during Weirdmageddon. Then, in one of the spinoff books, when Dipper asks the Axolotl about Bill, the Axolotl says, "Saw his own dimension burn [. . .] blame the arson for the fire." Considering that Bill said that he "liberated" his dimension with fire imagery, and the Axolotl says that he saw his dimension burn (and blames the arson, rather than the arsonist for the fire) . . . the conclusion can easily be drawn that Bill's "liberation" was actually "destruction." Which makes sense, when you remember what he wanted to do to Earth during Weirdmageddon.

Nonetheless, we have had that confirmed now thanks to The Book of Bill and the website. We know that when Bill tries to recant what happened to his dimension, there is a loud ringing in his ears and he blacks out; we know that he looks "more distant than [Ford] had ever seen him" when he tries to recount the story to Ford (implying dissociation; we know that he told his henchmaniacs the "liberation" story and that he freaks out when Time Baby tries to speak openly about what actually happened and who actually caused it; and we know that, during his therapy sessions in the Theraprism, when the therapist tries to turn the discussion to his parents, he shuts down discussion altogether. (And also only draws red and blue triangles during his art sessions, implying that may be what his parents looked like.)

So we know that: Bill destroyed his own dimension, that he's the sole survivor of the massacre, that he was severely traumatized by this (because he didn't intend to massacre his entire people, he honestly was trying to help them see what he could see -- the third dimension) and that he just handled his trauma in the worst possible way, particularly since he did not have anyone left to give him a support system. A billion years without a proper support system or any form of healing, sinking further and further into denial, rationalization, and detachment (outlined on Bill's page on morality as his tools of the trade), lying until his lies were no longer lies to himself, made Bill into the monster he is today.

But then the Pines family defeated him (thanks to Stan), he invoked the name of the Axolotl, and got sent to the Theraprism. He hates it there, and he is so deeply entrenched in the lies-he-no-longer-recognizes-as-lies that he is not making any progress. As Alex said at one of the Barnes & Noble Q&As, what Bill really needs is to actually be honest with himself, but it's unknown if he will ever be able to do that. Until he can do that, the hope of him actually making progress at the Theraprism is nil.

But here is the thing about the Theraprism. Well, here are the two things about the Theraprism:

The first is that we are told that the Theraprism is a place specifically devoted to reincarnation. The reason why the "King is reincarnated Bill" theory was popular before was mostly due to the reasons I mentioned above, but also because of another line in the Axolotl's poem: "A different form, a different time." People understood this to mean reincarnation, and it's easy to see why. But for me personally, I always found it a bit strange that the Axolotl would simply let Bill reincarnate simply by calling out for help. Would that really be all it took for the Axolotl? True, the Axolotl is the god of this universe, and Jesus (from how I understand it) is all about "accept me as your savior and you're immediately absolved of all sins," but I also felt that was just too easy of a Get Out of Death Free card for Bill. It was a very clean getaway, considering everything.

But The Book of Bill makes it evident that isn't the case. As it is described by the Theraprism employee in the book:

"Here at the Theraprism, we believe death can be the beginning of a new life. With good behavior, former wizards, world-eating titans, and even Mr. Cipher have many exciting options for reincarnation -- perhaps as a newt, shrimp, or a cloud of fungal spores!"

The Axolotl also made this clear to Bill (though Bill misunderstood entirely:

"You cannot regrow through denial. You'll have to face my hardest trial. See my program to the end, then you may yet live again. You're getting what you need the most; one way to absolve your crimes, to change your form will take some time."

Now, many of you are probably thinking: a baby titan from the Boiling Isles is a huge leap from newts, shrimp, and fungal spores. I would agree with you; it seems that the Theraprism does tend to pick very lowly life forms for the big bads they rehabilitate to reincarnate into. But here are the reasons why I think it would be poetic if it were King, and therefore why I like to think that it would be nice if this were the case:

Like Bill, King is the last of his kind. Unlike Bill, this is through no fault of King's own; the other titans were wiped out before King even hatched, and King's father had to hastily inscribe runes to protect him from the titan hunters (or archivists?) so that they couldn't find and kill him as well by destroying his egg. Nonetheless, King is the sole survivor of a genocide and this is something that weighs heavily on him and influences his character arc in a big way in the second half of the show. The fact that he doesn't know what he is lends struggle to him trying to discover who he is. Yes, he's in a family of misfits, but Eda and Luz know what they are and who they come from. King doesn't have that. King has no basis for what he is, or why he was abandoned -- none of it. And then when he does finally start to get answers, it's to learn that his people were massacred in a genocide; that there are people still out there who want to kill him; that he is going to grow to be a deity-like figure, that he'll outlive those he loves . . . King is a child of about eight-years-old, but he has so, so much weighing on him already.

But where Bill accidentally destroyed his dimension and killed everyone in it, and then was crushed under the weight of that trauma because he was left alone and covered in blood, King did have that family of misfits to support and love him through it all. He was still burdened by the fact that he didn't know what he was or where he came from, but Eda, Hooty, Luz, and eventually Lilith gave him unconditional love and a home and support to figure all of that out, to the point where it was King's idea to be formally adopted by Eda and change his name to King Clawthorne. And while he will eventually outlive them all, he made a friend in The Collector who is also immortal, so he'll never be truly alone.

Essentially, what I'm getting at here is: there are parallels in Bill's and King's story, now that we know Bill's backstory. They aren't the exact same, especially since King was not responsible for what happened to the other titans. But there are still parallels that can be made. But whereas things ended as badly as they could possibly end up for Bill, King's story had a much better ending. So if we imagine that Bill was reincarnated as King, then it is almost like he got a do-over. Like he was put in a similar situation, but this time he was found by a new adoptive mother who raised him with love and care, and got an adoptive big sister, and owl tube house mate, and aunt, as well as a ton of friends. He suffered trauma, but this time he didn't have to suffer it alone, and was able to handle it in a much better, much healthier way. Yes, he's an all-powerful demon (or at least, he will be someday, when he grows into an adult). But this time he isn't going to be causing any apocalypses, or delighting in any mortal suffering. This time, things are going to be different for him, because his soul completed the Axolotl's program in the Theraprism and he was able to reincarnate for that second chance.

(And if you're thinking, "But The Owl House doesn't take place that long after Gravity Falls, so how is that possible?" Well, the Theraprism exists outside of time and space, so it doesn't matter how many millennia it takes for Bill to complete the program. He literally has all the time in the multiverse.)

So I'm on board with this theory now. Again, I do not think it's canon. But it's a nice idea, and one that I think has a poetic sweetness to it. No one has to agree, of course, but that's just my take on it.

[catboymoments]

If disney were to make an official next-gen series, who would you want to voice King?

I’d either like to see Alex Hirsch do it again OR. Arin Hanson doing a regular voice since he did Papa Titan

[sweetandglovelyart]

Part five of my Kirby voice headcanons, featuring my voice headcanons for Marx and Magolor! I picked two voices for each of them and my explanations for why I chose these voices are under the cut.

Alex Hirsch as Marx: I wanted to go with a voice for Marx that could come off as both a silly little guy and a guy who’s also a little bit chaotic and unhinged. I used clips of King’s dialogue from The Owl House in this video, I think King as a character is a good embodiment of a silly little guy who can also be kind of chaotic at times.

Richard Horvitz as Marx: I went with Richard Horvitz as an alternate voice choice for Marx for similar reasons. I feel like he also does a good job portraying characters that can be both silly and chaotic. The clips I used here are of Zim from Invader Zim.

Andrew Robinson as Magolor: One of Andrew Robinson’s most well known roles is the Cardassian tailor Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I’m a big fan of Star Trek and I felt inspired to make this pick based off of @jojo-schmo’s Magolor animatics that use clips of Garak’s dialogue, I think that the dialogue fits him very well and he and Garak are both similar characters in that they’re both these very superficially friendly and charming people who are hiding some ulterior motives beneath the charm. Star Trek has plain, simple Garak and Kirby has plain, simple Magolor, both of whom turn out to be not so plain and so simple after all.

Billy West as Magolor: I picked Billy West as my alternate choice for Magolor because of the range he has as a voice actor. He can do a ton of different voices that each sound distinct from each other even though it’s him doing all of them. The clips I used here are of him doing his voice for Fry from Futurama, but he also voices several of the other main characters in that show and makes them each sound different. I could see Magolor putting on different voices/playing different roles to aid him in whatever shady business he’s conducting/aid him in charming and appealing to different people, but his normal speaking voice would just sound like Fry.

[aliciavance4228]

This is how I imagine the Greek gods sounding like

Hestia: Peppa pig and an old lady talking at the exact same time

Demeter: Harvey Fierstein

Hera: Wendie Malick

Hades: Tom Kenny (Ice King)

Zeus: Alex Hirsch

Athena: Eartha Kitt

Aphrodite: Jennifer Tilly

Hephaestus: Harlan Ellison

Leto: Marge Simpson

Apollo: Daffy Duck (pretentious)

Artemis: I can't imagine a voice for her, if she has beef with you she'd probably just send a bear after your ass

Hermes: Orz from Star Control II

Dionysus: HIM from The Powerpuff Girls

Lmao.

[idkwhydoah]

AU COMIC <3

I had the question who would be more powerful Bill Cipher or The Collector, I think The Collector is the more powerful of the two but is so naïve that Bill can manipulate him. Since Bill and King are both voiced by Alex Hirsch I think that The Collector genuinely thinks Bill IS King thus the idea of this AU. This is only the first page but I'm proud of its quality. Thanks for reading this wall of text lol.

What's your opinion?

[whyismangososour]

anyways um ,, did bill get reincarnated as king

gravity falls fandom I hate you for taking me down with you
