if i had a nickel for every character who was a conman with daddy issues who had a falling out with their family, left home and traveled the world for ten years and came back to run a long con pretending to be something they're not, i'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird it happened twice.

oh i looked for your name on the ouija board
and your naked magic, oh dear lord..
i didn't want to bulk up the post with multiple paragraphs or add it in a reblog but i wanted to talk about this a little :)
i was thinking about the gif i made last year for where did the party go and still love how it turned out. it gives me lost tapes vibes and i've also been into a lot of throwback/retro themed art, so wanted to tap into that with a stack of tvs.
there are clear references to the music video with the disco ball, that abandoned hospital wall color, spray painted symbol, and The Cord. but the tvs also tie back to the album cover, mirroring the clothing colors. and if you take a peek at the runtime on the tv, it's to where the lyrics start in the song (minus the milliseconds, itunes didn't provide it so i just threw a couple to the end).
i know the machete didn't come in until the end half of death valley and guitar not until save rock and roll, but last summer i made another version of that and have been trying to use it in something since, but never found the right idea to incorporate it. so i figured add it to this piece because so many associate lyrics of love and comparisons to pete and patrick's relationship, so why no put the two together? they were brought together by music, torn apart by it, then made whole again from it.
also, since i started using procreate i've been able to do about 60-70% (of large projects, like this) in the program before having to eventually move it into photoshop to finish it up. but this one is 99% procreate! the only thing that's ps is the "and the love on tv / love on tv" text because i couldn't quite replicate it the same way i did in ps (skill issue as of right now lol). but i a quite proud of that! because the learning curve has been a slow and steady climb.
anyways, there you go! if you read this, thank you <3 and i hope you enjoyed this little scene my brain plopped out :)

what if bill is jealous of the pine family because they remind him that he doesn’t get to have a happy family because he burned them all. and ford having almost gone down the same path as him (unappreciatedly smart, weird, outcasted, and then gaining access to greater knowledge and almost destroying the world) but stops and saves his family even after all the shit that’s happened (this is the one timeline where both dipper and mabel survive, after all). he gets to be happy. they all get to be happy, together.
he must hate them as much as he hates himself, doesn’t he?

Some designs and doodles I’ve made for this Gravity Falls AU I’ve been thinking about!! More info under the cut bcs god knows it’ll be a ramble
The meat of this AU takes place in the next summer after the show ends!! Bill is summoned (jailbroken) out of the Theraprism by Xgqrthx the Unpronounceable (or X from now on)
Except this time, instead of putting Bill in a goofy ass orb, he sticks his consciousness in a homunculus body and decides he’s gonna take all of Bill’s magical power!! He also casts a spell on Bill that makes him obey any orders from X (no I didn’t take that from Ella Enchanted what are you talking about hahahahahahaha) mainly so Bill doesn’t like. Main him immediately. Because that was his first plan of action.
Bill eventually escapes, and is homeless for a bit, before Lazy Susan picks him up like a stray cat and lets him stay at her house in exchange for him working at the diner, to which hijinks ensue
The little story ideas I’ve made up in my brain mainly focus on Bill interacting with the townsfolk of Gravity Falls and kinda learning about humanity and what it means to be human and care for other people just through osmosis and observation and actually like, being in a place to receive that kindness. He and Pacifica become friends since they’re coworkers, and they go on their own supernatural 22 minute long adventures
Bill is VERY intent on not letting the Pines family know he’s back, at least not until he’s back in his normal body!!! Cmon, think of how embarrassing it would be if he met them again and he was in this weak flesh prison!!! He needs to be in top form for his revenge (spoiler alert he does not get revenge)
This au was mostly made out of my insatiable urge for any redemption arc, but also because I think exploring the parallels between Bill and Pacifica would be so interesting

GRAVITY FALLS SPOILERS MAYBE? FOR THISISNOTAWEBSITEDOTCOM.COM — AT LEAST WITH BILL CIPHER AND STAN PINES/GRUNKLE
This involves thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com and Bill's PTSD involving Stan along with a theory of Bill Cipher possibly still in Grunkle Stan's mind.
So I've been seeing some people concerned over the idea that Bill Cipher hasn't left Stan's mind at least not fully, and while I do also have some belief that maybe some remnant is still there—perhaps it's just Bill's remains left behind all while his soul is trapped in Theraprism.
But the idea that Bill still has access to Stan like before, nah.
In reality; I highly doubt it, it feels just like at the end of The Book of Bill: where Bill snaps over the mere idea that Stanley must've influenced the reader not to join him, just him viscerally screaming out Grunkle Stan's name— resulting with Bill in the void swearing that someone will let him out.
Bill Cipher is labeled with Max Security Rec in the Theraprism, that implies that he's clearly being watched even if they had this one 'slip up' with the Book of Bill. They still hold more power over him since they confiscate his book after five minutes :)
To me, it feels like he's lashing out now—Bill is now what he considers his lowest and is raging at Stanley for not only beating him, for being a cheaper version of Sixer, but for also being happy. To me: Bill is desperate; he's trying to plant doubt that they fully purged him from Stan's mind in which I highly doubt that either the Axolotl or the Theraprism wouldn't notice.
—
But we'll see what happens if any updates come again, maybe I'm wrong and Bill isn't truly gone from the Pines Family 🤷♀️ but from what we've been seeing, Bill is grasping at straws now and clearly he's mad that he underestimated Grunkle Stan lmao get rekt loser
