I have! It's been a while, but I remember it being good. I liked how the stuff with Liam makes the line "why would someone sacrifice everything for their dumb sibling" hit hard, and I remember the vindictive fury of the scene where he destroys his dimension being very well written.

For whatever reason, it didn't make me interested in flatland as a concept. I think I was a little bit lost when it came to what the world itself was like, apart from how shitty the society was.

My takeaway from the fic was "that was a really well done backstory fic!" but not "ohhh man I am Changed Forever", which might partly be because I was not invested in Bill as a character at the time.

Also, this is just a matter of personal taste, but I didn't like the idea of Bill getting his powers from a time wish. It's a clever use of pre-existing concepts in the show, I just didn't find it all that interesting of a concept.

#godrambles #i must confess. I still dont find the henchmaniacs interesting either. sorry </3 #it was a very good fic #it just didn't happen to resonate on the same level as other fics for me #its definitely not close to my headcanon for bills origins #I dont have a solid idea of what his origins are but every time I read a bill origins fic there are things that click and things that dont #I think part of bills backstory should be things a human mind is incapable of comprehending so that makes it tricky #cant exactly write an incomprehensible fic. the whole point is being able to read it #shoutout to pengychans fics for introducing me to the concept of billford iirc #where would i be without them
