#The shirtless pic of Bill in this Dipper's closet has bits circled with arrows pointing to them with 'potential weaknesses?'

Love the idea of little reincarnation Dipper calling Bill an asshole before he's even learned what it means, but consider preteen re:Dipper developing a pretty strong and pretty embarrassing celebrity crush on Bill. All the other kids like Sailor Twist or Rustin Heiber, but Dipper just can't get that weird historical documentary with the one demon out of his head, even though his parents tell him he's trouble (maybe because?? 👀) I imagine he went through a moderately long teen-boy obsession before (somewhat) getting over the craze, and interacting with actual people, because the alternative to that scenerios is secluding himself before dying alone.
(And not to be annoying, but with infinite lives, re: Dipper's gotta keep discovering his sexuality over and over again. Bill's probably been a strong factor in his awakening several times.)
This is all excellent, but have you considered: A Dipper who's fascinated with Bill Cipher but swears it isn't a crush.
Gay thoughts? Okay, yeah Dipper sometimes has gay thoughts - but not about Bill Cipher, who's a demon and awful and has Weird Creep Energy. He's very bad and Dipper's not obsessed and shut up.
Dipper manages to delude himself in this way until he meets Bill in person for the first time, in all his weird and confident glory.
After which he realizes, 'oh no, those were definitely gay thoughts'
