#hope this didn't come across as rude eithe

[talekinesis]

Inspired by an episode of Doctor Who and all the Baby Bill being raised by the Pines Family art I've seen:

Bill Cipher gets turned back into baby Bill and left with the Pines family in hopes that they can raise him right this time

It's definitely weird and at first no one except Mabel and Soos wants to be involved because they can't un-see him as this absolute monster that almost killed everyone, but the more time that passes, the more they start to realize: He's just a baby. He's just a normal kid, and he wasn't born evil.

And this is where Ford remembers him saying his universe was "destroyed by a monster," and he sort of puts two and two together that Bill wasn't just chaotic and evil, he was traumatized and it *really* messed him up

So now the Pines family is a little more willing to care for him and raise him properly.

The twins head home at the end of the summer, leaving Bill in the care of Stan and Ford (and Soos when he's there, he and Melody actually make great babysitters and they like looking after him)

Bill isn't walking but he will sometimes just randomly start floating, and the twins (Stan and Ford) quickly realize he can't really control his powers this young, but they're nothing if not adaptable

Stan gets a high chair with a belt to keep Bill in place when he's being fed, but now instead of Bill levitating himself, he starts to levitate whoever is feeding him.

Just imagine Stan floating up and out of his chair while trying to feed this little menace, but it's Stan, so the first thing he thinks to do is just make swimming motions until he's close enough to continue feeding Bill like it's the most natural thing in the world. Nothing really phases him anymore.

It also took him a little while to come to terms eith the fact that Bill's eye is also his mouth.

Ford, of course, just made a type of boot that keeps him anchored to the floor (no he does not let Stan use them)

Bill has a cradle, built by Ford, that's basically this sort of capsule that keeps him in one place (sleep floater), prevents him from teleporting, and prevents him from using his powers to accidentally destroy anything.

When Bill starts crawling and scooting around, it's not just on the floor, he also crawls up walls and across the ceiling.

It's a normal occurance for Ford and Stan to be talking, Stan to just hold out his hands to catch Bill as he falls from the ceiling, not even pausing conversation, and just sticking him back onto the wall.

When Bill gets older, Ford teaches him "Inside Mind," which just means 'Hey don't read people's minds, it's rude and they don't like that.'

"Bill, Inside Mind only please," "Sorry :3 "

Bill's memory was altered, both to protect his new family, and to protect himself

He doesn't remember anything he did to Ford, but he does remember that he really liked him. He doesn't remember being defeated by Stan, but he does remember that he likes him less than Ford.

He doesn't remember destroying his old dimension or accidentally killing his biological family, but he does know he was 'adopted' and that he's different

Mabel and Dipper come back the next summer and Mabel is excited to Bill, just as Bill is excited to see her. She spends a lot of her time playing with him and just showing him things.

Bill doesn't like Dipper. He's not really mean to him, but it's definitely the trope where he giggles at everything Mabel does, but as soon as he sees Dipper, he immediately stops laughing and just stares at him blankly. At first it didn't bother Dipper because he didn't like him either but it eventually starts to get to him and he tries to make the baby laugh, which just never happens.

Literally everyone can get Bill to laugh except Dipper

Ford somehow finds out that Bill is doing it on purpose and Dipper is now extra irritated that he's been getting punked by a baby who finds his frustration amusing because he's an interdimensional brat

Stan thinks this is funny

Hi, it’s the anon here! [My blog wasn’t fully set up at the time and tumblr was giving me issues]. 

while i have a phobia of lizards I love snakes and hope to own one someday. Honestly I love all reptiles and think they’re super cool. I even love learning about lizards, I just can’t see their pictures because it triggers an immediate fear response I have no control over. 

Obviously I’m not going to follow a lizard centric blog, but I love, love, love snakes and really invested in everything this blog posts

Hello to the anon who said that they have a phobia of lizards, I have a question: Then what are you doing on the blog that posts about lizards most of the time?

I don’t mean to sound rude or anything, but really, it would be easier for you to block this blog and not see any lizards at all than for the person running this blog to go all the way back and tag every single post with lizards

Only answering this because I want to make something super super clear - I'll always tag anything if even one person needs me to do that.

And since this is a snake-centric blog and I just happen to get questions about lizards every so often, I think it's a perfectly reasonable request to ask for lizards to be tagged. In fact, I was planning on doing so anyway, solely because this is a snake-centric blog and I figure most people are here for the snakes.
