Acts of Service/Gift Giving: Fiddleford vs. Bill

There aren’t a lot of similarities between Fiddleford McGucket and Bill Cipher besides starting a cult, having a tendency to avoid confronting personal issues head on (Fiddleford manages to develops past this habit - Bill does not), and sharing the same voice actor. But they do both seem to have a fondness for gift giving to endear themselves to people.

The difference lies behind their intent on the giving of these gifts, because whereas Fiddleford does them out of love and concern and to build a genuine connection, Bill often hands out gifts to mortals to make them grateful and look up to him and more liable to being manipulated by him. A prime example of the differences between Fiddleford and Bill’s gift giving is Ford.

Let’s start with Bill’s birthday present to Ford, dead rats that spell the latter's name, an unconventional and alien present which Ford had to explain to Bill why it is is not a proper gift.

Early into their relationship, Bill endeared himself to Ford and this was one of his tactics, offering him companionship and presents to alleviate Ford's loneliness to make him more liable to his manipulations by flattering the scientist with attention and gifts.

Now let’s go with Fiddleford. First, he brought Ford an Axolotl (who might be the actual Axolotl) because the salamander’s frills reminded him of his best friend’s sideburns. Second, there was the Christmas gifts - a snow globe replica of the shack and six fingered hand knitted gloves with patterns - which delighted Ford even though he doesn’t celebrate the holiday.

Like Bill, the gifts Fiddleford made took effort but unlike the triangle demon, Fiddleford gifts them to Ford not out of malicious intent but out of love and concern. He gave Ford Frilliam the Axolotl because he didn’t want him to be lonely when he is gone and worked endlessly to create the perfect six fingered gloves because he wanted to provide his best friend a needed accessory that Ford had trouble finding.

And now comes the best part, Bill’s scientific calculations and Fiddleford’s thesis. Bill completed six hours worth of calculations overnight to help Ford stay on track with the building of the portal, something which sent Ford over the moon. While Fiddleford catalogued Ford’s research for three days without a break into a thesis book Ford could publish to make him multimillionaire which made Ford feel betrayed rather than grateful.

Bill did those calculations to ensure Ford is on track to perfecting the building of the portal so he can he can enter his world and destroy it by hosting a party that never ends and deepen Ford’s admiration of him so he won’t question his true intentions. Fiddleford made the thesis because he didn’t want the world to be destroyed and to convince Ford to become a millionaire through others mean and get his life back on track rather than risk testing the portal. Bill did an act of service to manipulate Ford but Fiddleford did an act of service out of concern for Ford and the world.

Fiddleford gives gifts out of love because he loves the people he gives them to, but Bill only knows how to give gifts not because he loves the other person but because he wants them to worship him.

Exhausting

I have no respect for billford shippers that look down on stancest shippers.

Oh what, you’d have me believe a genetic tie to a partner is somehow worse than being with someone that stabs through your hands, forces you to swallow live spiders, and also SA’s you by having yourself forcibly strip down in public and swing your clothes over your head like a helicopter? (sorry but anyone that forcibly removes your clothes and exposes your body, even if you’re a guy/lacking breasts and it’s just your chest, is committing SA against you. They’re exposing your body against your will plain and simple. Try to write that off how you like but that’s the facts)

The logic behind this baffles me honestly.

There’s a reason Alex titled that kissing drawing as "the worst drawing in the world" and then linked to an amazon BIBLE page (yeah I know that was part of a joke well guess what he frequently uses the bible joke for shipping in general so yeah).

Because he knows it’s BAD, TOXIC, PROBLEMATIC AS YOU GUYS LIKE TO LABEL THINGS. What I see people incorrectly accuse PROSHIPPERS to REPRESENT rather than the actual representation of the LIVE AND LET LIVE CREDO OF SHIPPING.

Ever stop to consider that maybe Alex didn’t do stancest or art involving Wendy/Dipper because he simply a) didn’t like those ships, which is valid since everyone has their own tastes, and he did base some of these characters on his own family so it’s close to home for him, or b) knows how toxic and chronically online a lot of haters are? That he wanted to avoid drama for this stream that he’s trying to milk every cent out of for CHARITY? (It's ridiculous how many times he felt obligated to say "REMEMBER IT'S FOR CHARITY" when shipping came up just to try and prevent any meltdowns from uptight fans and viewers. And even then he still didn't do some because he knew the fact of it being for charity still wouldn't fly for some- because a lot of people would rather watch REAL PEOPLE SUFFER to preserve their fictional sensitivities)

Not to mention he still works with Disney (chibiverse hello), any backlash (the form of false pedo accusations or incest apologist accusations being what happens to be thrown around all willy nilly nowadays over fictional bullshit) could get him blocked not only from working with the company ever again, but lose any input he might have over his beloved passion project and baby Gravity Falls itself?

This is a man who has said COUNTLESSLY that he doesn’t care about ships, has even encouraged people to "be weirder" and made omelet hypotheticals for how much HE DOESN’T CARE BECAUSE FICTIONAL SHIPS DON’T MATTER.

Alex Hirsch is a KING.

And it’s sad to see that so many of his loyal subjets are so bigoted and blind to ignore his own feelings in order to justify their own, or to somehow perform the mental gymnastics in order to absolve themselves of "thought crimes" so that they can feel like they aren’t bad people under the imposition of conservative purity culture.

The terms "cest" and "age" are trigger words now. If those show up in any form, pitchforks come out and roofs get burned. Companies overreact and overcompensate. He said Disney people were watching, so of course he’s gonna say and act in what is deemed an appropriate manner because even companies apparently prefer abusive relationships to ones that have a blood tie even if blood ties are wholesomely depicted.

The age old double standards.

And don’t get me started on bringing up Dipper Goes To Taco Bell. Alex and cast know of that story, they’ve made references to it in a video game and such, immortalized it. They engage with all corners of their fandom, also shown by Jason’s "saving the town" reference on stream.

Another thing, anyone notice how they laughed off the Dipper and Wendy suggestion Jason made, rather than exploded? BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS - and most likely turned them down because they know there's more drama about characters being aged up and crap so it wouldn't have mattered if they're adults now, there are people who will always see them as "kids".

Point is - If there was such a strong hate on Alex’s part about the darker side of fiction or taboos he’d do all in his power to make sure they were never mentioned again and be active against them. 

He’s a kind, caring man that obviously likes to just get along with people, but he does put his foot down when he feels something is awful. He’s made political posts about presidents he feels are corrupt and spoken out against social injustice. You honestly think he wouldn’t speak out about those taboo ships in frank language if he thought that they shouldn’t exist and that the people who create for them are awful?

Newsflash, he would. Yes, he’d isolate a sadly small part of his fanbase, but he’s shown time and again he doesn’t care about being liked. He cares about what’s right.

And abusing others over which made up character kisses who, isn’t.

If you’re someone that mislabels proshippers too, to mean "problematic shippers", then as a billford shipper you’re one by definition. And yes, I'm including you AU billford shippers too because there is always some degree of toxicity.

Knock the hate and abuse off. People that go off about why their ship is justified and another isn't are the reason people leave fandoms and leave amazing works often unfinished, even Gen writers and artists.
