Common Billford W (Wheat Field Symbolism and Billford)
@lobotomu5 and I were pondering what the wheat field symbolism meant in Ford's dream in The Last Mabelcorn, Season 2.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wheat is traditionally recognized as representative for love and is often signified as such throughout the Bible.
In this scene, we see a lot of symbolism for love. We see a broken swing set, a ship, and a portal.
Tumblr media
The broken swing set and ship represents Ford's once loving and healthy relationship with his brother, which is now strained.
The portal serves as a metaphor for Ford's yearning for recognition and success. Ford's journal reveals that he views the portal as his ticket to riches and fame, an achievement that would grant him the acknowledgement and success he craves. His desire for this acknowledgment stems from his strained relationship with his father and his quest to earn his approval. The portal's broken state symbolizes the collapse of Ford's dreams and his lost life as he spent 30 years trapped in the multiverse.
Additionally, the portal also symbolizes the relationship between Ford and Bill. The portal was the catalyst that brought Bill and Ford together, as the pursuit of opening the portal led to their fateful encounter. It also embodies Ford's trust in Bill, as he relinquished control of his mind and body to Bill to work on the portal while he slept. The broken portal also signifies the end of their relationship, marking the start of their animosity, rivalry, and broken trust.
Ford stands on wheat field that has an image of Bill cut under his feet. He stands in the center of Bill's eye. Then, the wheat field bursts into flames. In this symbolism, the wheat field represents both love and destruction. The wheat field can be seen as a representation of Ford's feelings for Bill Cipher, as he stands in the center of Bill's eye, signifying a deep connection. However, the field bursting into flames can symbolize the intense passion and turmoil that existed in their relationship. The burning wheat field may also symbolize the destruction that came as a result of their relationship, as Bill Cipher's manipulation and betrayal ultimately led to the destruction of their bond.
A field in a dream represents freedom, openness, and potential. It may symbolize a desire for a fresh start or a new beginning.
Freedom: Bill describes the destruction of dimensions are "liberating."
Tumblr media
Potential: Bill Cipher wants Ford to join him in the destruction of the world. He says it in the show and he says it in the Book of Bill.
Tumblr media
He sees the potential of him and Ford taking glee in liberating the dimension.
Tumblr media
It is implied that he must have saw Ford joining him in the multiple futures he can see.
Tumblr media
It's why he's so confident that Ford will come around. He says this in the Book of Bill.
Tumblr media
Openness: Bill desires a closeness with Ford. Bill can relate to Ford.
Bill once trusted and was able to be vulnerable with Ford.
Tumblr media
Fresh start: By having Weirdmegeddon going on and Ford by his side, Bill hopes the two of them can have a fresh start as they learn to rekindle the closeness that was lost.

Fandom: Gravity Falls
Relationship: Bill Cipher/Ford Pines
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 14,000
Summary: Ford hated to say he was struggling to keep up the pace on the portal, but he was. Between working himself to exhaustion and reckoning with unresolved post-karaoke night feelings, how could anyone expect him to focus on writing equations? Noticing his distraction, his enigmatic muse offers to help him out, but Bill only does favors for humans if he knows he’s going to get something out of it as well.
Or: Ford wants to be studied like a scientific experiment, Bill wants to be worshipped like a god.

Since we are on the topic of GF AUs, what do u think of Relativity Falls? (The AU that is kind of a age swap between the characters and which Stanley and Ford take Mabel and Dipper's role and vice versa)
Also if Bill and Steve where in that AU, would they be the same or different?
Part of me kinda hopes they are kids/teens in that AU bc that would be funny lol
I've been looking into Relativity falls and i really like it, specially kid Stan and Ford, they're so cute! Aside from Dipper and Mabel now being the great aunt and uncle and Ford and Stan being the new kids, everyone seems to have different interpretations of which character replaces which, but in almost all of them Bill stays the same and the switch only seems to aply to the humans
I've seen only one interpretation of relativity falls where Bill and Gideon switch places tho, and Gideon looks like the telepathy tent's star symbol. So maybe Bill would be the kid running the telepathy tent, scamming people and Gideon would be the evil figure trying to conquer earth.
And I suppose if Steve is there, he would be Bill's maybe adopted brother working on the tent too?
It'd funny that since kid Bill replaces Gideon, he has a crush on kid Ford (bonus points if star-shape giddeon has a crush on old Mabel making it the Billford equivalent)
I was gonna draw kid Bill and Steve but i just couldn't come up with good designs so have Relativity Falls Mabel and Gideon

Love is like an anchor,one that drags you down but keeps you going at the same time (Ford and Stan brotherly familial love). Love is like an addiction,something that kills you from the inside yet you keep aching for more of it despite knowing it's not good for you (Ford and Bill). Love is like candy, something you can't have because it will hurt you in the end but you keep asking for more and more despite it subtly destroying you (Fidds and Ford). Love is like a hug, something that you don't want to let go but you know you have to before it crushes you (Stan and Fidds). @feelingobtuse here lol. Here is your answer.
POP QUIZ!! WHAT IS LOVE? (YOU CAN BASED IT ON STAN AND FORD BROTHERLY LOVE, FORD AND BILL, FORD AND FIDDS, STAN AND FIDDS) I WANT TO KNOW YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS THIS CHARACTERS DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE FOR EACH OTHER!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
#gravity falls#stanley pines#stanford pines#fiddleford mcgucket#stan pines#ford pines#billford#fiddauthor#stan twins#fiddlestan#now to explain#the stan twins one is obvious. they brought each other down because of their problems and sibling tension from the science fair incident.#but later on. Stan and Ford both realized that the other is worth living for. Why do you think Ford came home instead of joining Bill in th#multiverse? Why do you think Stan kept going with the portal despite agonizing over being the dumb twin and not being able to fix it?#because they knew that they had to do it. for their brother. and other stuff too but y'know that's for plot lol#bill and ford's dynamic being described as an addiction fits perfectly. because they ARE an addiction to one another.#they feed off of each other's flaws. bill takes advantage of ford's ego while ford enables the triangle's games and chaos at first#pre betrayal#fidds and ford being like candy is actually symbolism. symbolic of fidds knowing that he can't be with his best friend cuz wife and#also because of the man seeming to be into his research and the portal more than him#stan and fidds are a hug. cuz stan wants to keep fidds so bad but he can't as in the situations they end up working together.#they do it for the portal. and ford. and he can't keep fidds cuz the man is married and cuz the guy seems to be too mentally ill and#obsessed with ford to love him#ooops it accidentally turned into symbolic poetry and analysis. oh well#gravity falls analysis#character analysis#relationship analysis#symbolism#poetry

this is just a ramble about billdip/billford since i’ve seen a bunch of posts and want to share my thoughts on it!
i find a lot of the comparisons between billdip and billford to be a bit off the mark. while it’s true they share some surface-level similarities—mainly because they both involve bill cipher and a “smart guy”—their dynamics are vastly different. in billford, ford initially placed an enormous amount of trust in bill. he practically revered him, as seen in the tapestries in his lab and all the one-eyed triangle symbols throughout the mystery shack. ford’s trust was so deep that he allowed bill to lead him down a dark path, ultimately resulting in betrayal. bill has since been shown relishing in taunting ford, making their relationship one of broken trust and regret.
on the other hand, billdip presents a way different dynamic. dipper never trusted bill in the first place. from the very beginning, their relationship was antagonistic. unlike ford, dipper wasn’t lured in by the promise of knowledge or power; he had to be manipulated, and even then, he was extremely hesitant to allow bill to possess him. bill never had dipper’s trust to betray, which sets the stage for a completely different kind of tension. in billford, the conflict stems from a deep betrayal of trust, whereas in billdip, it’s more about the struggle between manipulation and resistance, with dipper trying to outsmart someone he knows he can’t trust.
i want to clarify that i don’t hate or even dislike billford. they have an undeniably interesting dynamic, and under different circumstances, i’d probably be more invested in it. however, my enthusiasm for the ship is dampened by the behavior of some of its shippers. it often feels like many people ship billford not because they genuinely enjoy the dynamic, but rather out of a desire to distance themselves from billdip. it’s as if shipping billford has become a way to proclaim, “at least i don’t ship billdip.” but spite shouldn’t be the driving force behind creating content for a ship. shipping should be about passion, about enjoying the dynamic and wanting to explore it through art, writing, and discussion because it genuinely interests you.
that said, i do wish people would keep the discourse civil and avoid leaving hateful comments about either ship. unfortunately, that might be asking for too much in fandom spaces. but it would be nice to see more respect and understanding for different preferences, even if we don’t all share the same ships ૮꒰ ˶> ༝ <˶꒱ა
