I know you probably don't have an answer, but id like to see what you think. Was the book of Bill written during his time in the Theraprism or way beforehand? Or is it just like Ford's journal where he's already writing in it regardless. Also I'm trying to figure out how the Book of Bill plays a part in this fanfic since the Pines family have already read it and already know his secrets? Or did they not read it all the way and only paid attention to what they wanted to?
I don't need to have an answer of my own because the book thoroughly provides one. I'm not gonna grab screenshots and quotes because that would take a whole lot of time and I don't wanna spend that kind of time so I'm just gonna state for the record all of the below is canonical to something said either in the book or (for Gus) in promotional material.
The book is made to "communicate" with Bill even after death. The contents of The Book of Bill actively update for each person reading it, as they read it, and even can change each time they open the book.
The book's made out of brain matter, and Bill says he can possess anything with neurons (thus letting him alter the book's contents in real time).
Bill is actively remotely writing the book from the Theraprism as it's being read. The staff even catches him in the act of writing it and inserts a note a few pages before the end of the book saying he's breaking the rules by contacting outsiders but they'll give him five minutes to wrap up. We get a photo of him in his little orange prison jumpsuit beaming his thoughts onto the page of his end of the book (suggesting TBOB works like a walkie talkie—Bill says something into a book on his end and it comes out of the book on the other end).
When Ford looks in the book, he sees a bunch of difficult riddles. When Mabel looks in the book, it offers to tell her about everyone who's had a crush on her. When Stan looks at it, it has a chapter on how to win the lottery. When Gus (the park ranger from OregonParksDept on twitter) opens the book, Bill addresses him by name, talks to him about Gus's own life, and asks him if he wants to improve his life.
When YOU—a fan of Bill Cipher and Gravity Falls—look at the book, it tells you Bill's opinions on a lot of topics, his history, and the history of Gravity Falls. Nobody in-universe who opens the book is a Bill Cipher fan.
The Pines family didn't see his secrets because he didn't list his secrets for them to see. He listed what he desperately thought might persuade each of them to keep reading long enough to let him worm into their heads and start manipulating them—and they thought his attempt was pretty pathetic. They slapped notes in the book for the next person to pick it up and chucked it.

No they should not, but in the Romeo dies ending theyDO need to meet in the Theraprism. Imagine Romeo showing up there - didn’t they say something about how if you ever destroyed a whole world, especially your own, you would definitely go there after your death? And meeting the Axalotl, and not resisting at all. Like an addict voluntarily going to a rehab center. And begging the staff there, who also seem to have reality bending power over the whole multiverse, to do something about the Sunshine Institute because he can’t fix it now that he’s dead and powerless, and he’s so ashamed that he ever made that. And he begs them to make the Underneath livable for the people there because he wishes he could take it back so badly. And Romeo making actual progress because he doesn’t ever want to lose himself to the defensive, horrible, insecurity ever again. Contrasted with Bill who is perpetually in denial that anything is wrong. Because he already has medical trauma and is terrified of receiving treatment. Because he got so good at using denial and delusion as a coping mechanism when no one could stop him. Has anyone written this fanfic yet or do I have to do it myself
bill cipher and romeo should make out
