#bill cipher's backstory

[the-cosmic-blogger]

Finally drew a cover for The Tale of William Nolis :D

From left to right, William's dad Norman, William's adopted brother Gabriel Nolis, Karlos Naica (Kryptos), William Nolis himself, Hector von Gahn (Hectorgon) and William's mother Clarissa.

The star OC, Gabriel, isn't mine, but he belongs to an old friend, the same old friend who collabed with me on A Triangle in the Stars, which this story is a companion to. :3

And that's a card Norman's holding.

The story can be read here!! and under the cut is the traditional version!

Did Tad suffer any violence from Bill after their dimension was destroyed? Especially when Strange came to our dimension

That’s funny because I actually got that written down and you made me draw all of this in one sitting (I will explode now)

And thus, I’ve given you all the setup for the comic I’m working on. It ties directly to this. This is where the Shapes and Pines AU really starts! This was fun! I’m tired! Hahaaaaa I really like Tad

FYI: Tad was Bills babysitter for years, he saw him like a little cousin or bother. They are not related by blood but they shared a family like bond.

Edit: He's free!

Silly billy

I love that flatland is canon

[videogamelover99]

Bill Cipher angst at 2AM??? Also plz read Flat Dreams

[lunaeclips]

Nobody talking about his dialogue here?

And the fact that he literally cannot tell us how his universe was turned to a spec of dust? (Somebody PLEASE do voice acting of both of these too, the first one would be hilarious)

WHOEVER ORIGINALLY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA THAT BILL BURNED HIS DIMENSION BY BRINGING A STAR DOWN IS A GENIUS AND I LOVE THEM!!!!

THE FIRST TIME IVE SEEN IT IS FROM THIS AMAZING ANIMATIC THAT YOU SHOULD WATCH NOW

reminder that you can still sympathize with a character while still not defending their actions

So, given the revelations that came with The Book of Bill, and all the intentional parallels they've drawn between Ford and Bill, and even the way we can kinda infer that Bill either saw something of himself in Ford or at least thought he found someone that could potentially really understand him...

With all that in mind, the insistence of Bill of having Ford being the one that opens the portal even after Ford realizes what Bill really is and what he wants, and rejects him... at that point it might have been easier to try and get anyone else, to possess someone and just break into the lab and open the portal that way, right? The portal was complete, he needed someone to open it, but he didn't need FORD to do it...

But, and I don't think I'm the first one to point this out by a longshot, I think Bill WANTED FORD to be the one to do it, he wanted Ford, the one person he had arguably a genuine connection with in a trillion years, to make the same mistake he did... he wanted to break Ford like he was broken, by making him the architect of his dimension's destruction.

And then he would truly have someone that would understand him completely.

Someone as damaged as him.

Mommy and Daddy won't kiss this one better Billy

i think the magnus archives x gravity falls crossover has such huge potential

and not as in "twins give a statement" or "archival crew go on a trip to Oregon" but "Bill as fear avatar in either of those universes"

[fallingbecauseofgravity]

the more I think about it, the more I hate the theory that bill destroyed his dimension by tilting it. like, there's so much canon against it, and there's not even any fire. but I do believe he killed them all by trying to show them the stars, just not the tilt-y thing
