This has absolutely been asked and answered before but, how the hell does bill ciphers species reproduce????? We KNOW he didn't just magically appear out of matter or sumthin cuz we've heard him talk about his mother and seen his parents silhouettes with baby bill, not to mention they're 2d and bill is 3d. Is their eye a mouth and reproductive organ? do they shed their skin to make babies like he does to feed??????? DO THEY JUST SPAWN? I know most people just kinda make him a human so he can get freaky with ford but that's boring cmon

TBOB has actually really interesting insights onto Bill's character and his relationship with Ford/how he sees himself in him

bc now we know that Bill actually DIDNT want to destroy his home dimension, and had a family he cared about... but then after that, he fell in with a crowd (his Henchmaniacs) that were all angry and spiteful towards their worlds, and had no families (they are all either orphans or hate their families), and they hear that Bill destroyed his 'oppressors', and for the first time in his life Bill hears "wow your differences actually make you COOL and HELPFUL"

and over time 'revenge' starts to mean 'blowing up anyone that doesn't like us' and 'accidentally destroyed his dimension' becomes 'liberated his dimension' and 'i have no one' becomes 'i dont need anyone!'- but the nightmare dimension is Unstable and falling apart and Bill has to Keep The Party Going or else he loses all his coolness and all his power

And then he tries and tries to manipulate people into building the portal but it all fails bc he actually sucks until he meets Stanford Pines, who is so easy to manipulate because Bill knows exactly what he wants to hear because its what he himself wanted to hear...and Ford is bitter and vengeful and that makes Bill start to consider him as more than a pawn, possibly even a henchmaniac, he tells him about how DEVASTATED he was to lose his home dimension, even if he went 'no contact' with them and was an outcast and an Other, he still misses home...

...and so when ford finds out the portal will destroy his home, of COURSE he turns around and thinks about his family, even though he 'doesnt have anyone'. Bill expects Ford to enable him, as all the other henchmaniacs did, but Ford stands up to him and it triggers Bill so badly because he sees this man as basically who he was at the beginning and it challenges the image of himself he's built in his mind, because he KNOWS back then that he wouldnt have destroyed his own dimension on purpose! And the only thing he knows how to do anymore is to crush anything that hurts him, because unlike anyone else Ford is able to hurt him.

and thats why he needs to be in therapy for basically forever

Yes I hate Stanford Pines with all my heart and it I ever met him it would be ON SIGHT. Yes, I am also writing a gay sex fic about him and the triangle...what about it.

In the light of recent events...

I've been seeing a bunch of people adding disclaimers to their billford posts clarifying that they have critical thinking skills about abuse and abusive relationships, and I 100% understand that impulse. When I first made this blog I added disclaimers like that onto nearly everything. But, if it makes the folks adding those disclaimers feel any better: after I stopped writing essays trying to prevent people from taking my billford posts in bad faith, absolutely no one got mad at me in my inbox or on any of my posts, and I've been posting about billford for years now. In my experience the majority of people who are uncomfy with this ship nowadays will simply block and move on. Some folks will disagree no matter how many disclaimers you add, and that's ok

Last thought for the night, but weird horror au where Bill doesn't just possess Ford - he possesses the cabin.

thinking about how all of the bill motifs in the mystery shack was, in fact, just ford being autistic over this guy and putting him all over his house

[iwanttorundirectlyintothesun]

i was told to throw this into the tumblr abyss so that others have to deal with it but i need to know how people would do this

ford as gorty our resident evil artificer, clever, quick witted (handsome young man) and bill as the spawn of a bloody god, destined to be the last thing alive before murder takes all

or the other way around goddamn can you imagine having the dark urge in your head not as just a voice telling you to murder people but as a little dude who wants you to go mad and could potentially just possess you
