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.

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.

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."

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.

He sees the potential of him and Ford taking glee in liberating the dimension.

It is implied that he must have saw Ford joining him in the multiple futures he can see.

It's why he's so confident that Ford will come around. He says this in the Book of Bill.

Openness: Bill desires a closeness with Ford. Bill can relate to Ford.

Bill once trusted and was able to be vulnerable with Ford.

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.

look i want to have some grace for gideon bc he’s. 10 years old. and it seems there’s something wrong with him. but i didn’t like that mabel had to just play nice and hold his hand in the finale after he Never learned that “I’m not interested” means I Am Not Interested. and the symbols are not drawn in consistent places in some of the times we see the cipher wheel anyway. so,⬆️

like if he wasn’t going to Actually Learn this was the least he deserved

Thinking about dipcifica

Rewatched gravity falls urgghhhhh it's so good

[mulletstanleys]

my own spin on the relativity falls au design with the pines! and also a doodle page

[frayedcircus]

helloooo here’s my slightly unconventional take on the pines twins in the monster falls au

dipper is a sheep satyr creature, and mabel is a spider monster :]

i made mabel a spider because i think it fits not only with her love of crafts and knitting, but also with her grappling hook. now she can crawl around and hang from ropes and webs as much as she wants <3

and more arms means more advanced knitting potential and more space for cute bracelets… more eyes means more cute eyeshadow space….

i don’t have much justification for dipper being a sheep besides the lamby lamb dance… i think it’s cute and mabel can make his wool into yarn to knit with :}

“Some interpretations link owls to wisdom, drawing on cultural associations that existed in the ancient Near East. While in biblical symbolism, owls often represent desolation, loneliness, and abandonment. When the prophets speak of God’s judgment on nations, they frequently mention owls as inhabitants of the resulting ruins.”

HI EVERYONE IM HERE TO DUMP MY GRAVITY FALLS ART! All Ford mostly Billford

I FUCKING LOVE THIS OLD MAN. Btw the piece just above me here is a warm up from today where I put him in my ootd <33 below is a translation of the cursive if you either can't read my shit ass handwriting or just can't read cursive! (Its a struggle for me personally qwq)

"Today I wore something different at the behest of F."

"He lent me a top and matching bottoms. After I had gotten dressed he proceeded to tell me I looked cute"

"He is such a great friend! :))"

FORD YOU IDIOT HE WANTS YOU !!!

drew this bc because i hate sitting thru chapel

[thesituationship]

You can make your AUs as ooc as you like, that's your god given right. However, I think any au where Mabel = Stan and Dipper = Ford is fundamentally missing something about gravity falls.

Because I do think it's thematically important that Dipper & Mabel share traits with both Stans. E.g. Mabel has Ford's whimsy and Stan's charisma while Dipper has Ford's curiosity and Stan's cynicism.

The mix of traits in both Dipper and Mabel symbolically represents union. Specifically, the Stan's own reunion. Stan & ford are metaphorically reunited in Dipper & Mabel, and so they are literally reunited by Dipper & Mabel. Do you see what I'm saying?
