Hi there!!

I want to say that your “Mabel’s muse” Au concept has absolutely called my attention, Bill mentions multiple times (Dipper and Mabel’s guide to mystery and fun and TBOB) how he likes Mabel’s personality and wanted her to be his ally…sooo the idea of an alternative time where he decided to approach her and where she trusts him and considers him as her friend is absolutely full of potential

I just think about how many stuff would change and how bill would be a little more genuine with her as he for once isn’t pretending to be an all-wise being and having to constantly rise the ego of Genius minds…instead he just has to party with a teenager whose idea of fun is quite similar to his…he doesn’t have to be the “supreme being” for once just a silly fella in order to earn Mabel’s trust

Also about how some episodes would have to take a completely different route:

maybe “Mindscapers” wouldn’t even take place…because I doubt that Mabel would trust a Bill if he went inside Stan’s head

Bill possessing her during the “sock opera”episode instead of dipper

Also don’t get me started on “the last Mabelcorn” episode. All the angst and horror that Ford would feel when he finds out about the whole friendship with bill situation reflecting himself on Mabel and probably Dipper being the one who search for the unicorn hair while ford tries to convince her that Bill isn’t trustworthy

I apologize for my rant but I seriously love your idea and sorry if it’s a bit confusing English isn’t my first language

I hope you have a nice day and thank you for reading this silly thing!!

first of all, your english is great!! second of all, i am SO sorry it took me so long to respond to this ask, it just made me so happy that i wanted to take my time to craft a response!!!!!! :DDDD (context: for people who don't know what my 'mabels muse' au is, you can check it out over here!)

you are practically SPOT ON with my ideas for this au!!!!!! but i'm gonna briefly run through all the things you brought up!!

first of all, yes, absolutely!!!! for bill, partner-ing up with mabel was a very nice change of pace. he likes stroking the ego's of genius', just for his own amusement, but he doesnt get the THRILL of just getting to PLAY very often!! he's a very childish being, at the end of the day. he enables mabel's selfishness, while getting to indulge his own, silly passions right alongside her!! and obviously, mabel LOVES being enabled <3 i imagine most of the dreams he gives her would make any normal persons eyes bleed

as for your episode ideas, you're mostly right!!! :) mindscaperers does, in fact, NOT happen in this au. in my head, i imagine gideon trying to summon him, only for an 'I.O.U' to appear where bill should be. he's busy hanging out with his favorite pre-teen!!! so gideon skips straight to his backup plan, aka, gideon rises ^^

for sock opera, i'm still on the fence a little bit. one of the reasons bill is hanging out with her at all in this au is because, unlike in the regular timeline, this bill actively wants stanford to be brought home. the reason mabel is important to him, is because he can see timelines where she presses the button in not what he seems, and keeps him from returning. in his mind, he has the greatest shot of success if mabel doesn't press it. in this au, she doesnt even hesitate to trust stan, because she has another, trustworthy voice in her head, yelling DON'T PRESS THE BUTTON. its 2v1! ANYWAY, the reason any of that matters for sock opera, is because he wouldnt have any need to possess anyone, because he has no interest in smashing the laptop! BUT.....i can see him doing it anyway. i figure, most likely, he gets mabel to (willingly) let him use her body, so that she can work on her sock opera while her body sleeps. i just imagine a bill-possessed mabel up at 3 am, covered in hot glue and googly eyes as he tries to work it out shjdkfhjsdkf. but......honestly, he probably destroys the laptop in the process :) just to fuck with dipper <3 not that dipper ever finds out its her. he has no idea that mabel was ever possessed/has no reason to suspect her, because at this point, he still doesnt think bill is real. that is....until the last mabelcorn.

IN the last mabelcorn, mabel reveals to ford that she does recognize bill, and that he lives in her brain! she says it really excitedly, at the table, while dipper kind of just rolls his eyes about it. to her, its vindicating, because it's the first time anyone has ever acknowledged bills existence. but to ford, its HORRIFYING, because he knows it isn't just a coincidence. he knows he has to do something, but he doesn't know what, right away. this is where our ideas differ a little bit, because i think that mabel still WOULD be the one retrieving the unicorn hair! ford just didnt tell her what the hair was for. ford sends her off, because he wants to brainstorm a way to get him out of her head, preferably without hurting her/her memories. he also plans to bill-proof dippers mind in the process, just in case mabel is too far gone already. the events here happen basically the same (with minor tweaks), but instead of dipper suspecting that ford is evil/bill-possessed, this is where he finally learns that bill is real at all. ford tells him about his backstory, and explains the REAL reason he sent mabel out to get the unicorn hair, etc etc. he loves mabel a lot, but hes not sure how to go about dealing with this situation yet. its not HER fault she trusted bill, but he knew that if he just tries to tell her hes evil, she wont believe him. shes known 'her muse' longer, and as of right now, he's never lead her wrong. just like what happened to him in the past...

i wonder how mabel would feel if she only heard the end of that conversation...

Billford in real life

I'm not insulting Billford shippers, I just think it's funny that Ford got freaky with an oversized Dorito 💀.

The easiest code in the book, the only one I got on my first read-through (I’m gonna go back with a notebook to get at the rest), and genuinely made me tear up.

I DON’T KNOW ANYONE WHO DOES GRAVITY FALLS ANALYSIS BUT ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS?????????

[biblicallyaccuratepigeons]

After reading the Billble, the objective perpetually one-sided nature of BillFord is, to me, not exactly that the two's level of affection for each other switched.

Of course, in J3, Ford very clearly has incredibly high regard for Bill in a way that could be easily be described as either love or worship–even both–whether he was sexually attracted to him or not. I truly believe that, whatever the nature of his feelings was, Ford would have done anything Bill'd asked pre-betrayal, including but not limited to sex and dating; on the other hand, it was easy to see how clearly Bill was using him for his own selfish purposes. I believe that this was deliberate, not only on the writers' part, but on Ford's part as well; obviously he didn't want anyone else to fall for Bill's tricks, but he was also clearly hurt and embarrassed, and a part of his reasoning was very likely also a desire to forget all the little unimportant things that were so personally important to him, that could possibly be signs that Bill really did care for him genuinely.

And to us, who have seen the way Bill treats him in the show, J3, and now the Billble, it's very clear that he did care, in his own toxic, irredeemable way. We saw the way he freaked out when Ford summoned him; we see parallels between the love advice he gives and the way he treats Ford; we saw him offer an incredibly high ransom for Ford after he fell through the portal; we saw him turn Ford into a gold statue to keep on his person and practically beg him to join his crew; we saw the gifts, the physical and mental enhancements, the serenading, the jealousy–but most importantly, we saw a mutual vulnerability and understanding between them that, in other circumstances, would have led to a full lifetime of real love, whether it was brotherhood or romance.

The objective perpetual one-sidedness of BillFord isn't that their feelings switched. Bill always had to have Ford; but once that reason fully grew from necessity into an emotional need for Ford to be at and on his side, Ford learned of the side of Bill that had been kept secret, and the lie shattered not his regard, nor his fixation, nor his respect–but his trust was dropped from the heavens and shattered and swept away on the surface of the sea.

So Bill took every opportunity he had to obtain Ford again. He set a high ransom, he visited his dreams when he could, he turned him into gold and kept him on his person, he put him in a love cage and serenaded him, he begged him to come back to him become a henchmaniac. And when he wrote his book meant to call for help, Ford was the first person he sent it to.

Bill offered Ford the world because he had nothing else to offer. All Ford wanted was for Bill to be his Muse. This was true from the very start, and is the essence of the objective perpetual one-sidedness of BillFord.

Screaming, crying, throwing up, eating the drywall with my bare hands, ripping up the floorboards

Please please please PLEASE, begging on my knees, more glasses Bill🙏🙏🙏

(coming from a teen who has awful vision, astigmatism, and visual snow syndrome lol)

(other bills glasses au parts can be found here and here!)

i got SUPER excited when i saw this ask, because you described THE EXACT VISION ISSUES THAT I HAVE!!!!!! :D i also have awful vision, astigmatism, and visual snow syndrome!!!!!! so yes of course ill doodle more glasses!bill for you!!! its like were both mutually projecting 🤝

first of all. this made me realize how PERFECT bill is for visual snow syndrome. for people who dont have it/dont know what it is, its a condition where your eyes get like,,,,,a fuzzy, static-like overlay. like, for me, it looks like im looking through a static filter. it gets ESPECIALLY bad in low light. which reminded me that one of bill's fears is tv static...... 👀 i just couldnt shake the mental image of bill resting for the first time in the theraprism, only to wake up to everything being FUZZY.

at first he thinks its a cruel trick that the staff is playing on him just to torture him more. nah, his eye is just fucked up <33333

ANYWAY, here are some more lighthearted doodles!!!!!!! <3

LIFE HACK!!!! did you know that if your opponent only has one eye and wears glasses, you can temporarily blind him only using a jumbo sticker?? the more you know!!! <3

hes such a drama queen <3

[androids-insides]

Should I render any of these??

Disturbing Hidden Messages on Thisisnotawebsitedotcom

@itsrachnime

If you type in Naitsauf and sign the contract from Bill, then type in Mabel or Dipper's name into the computer and click on the knob, some weird creepy messages start play. I've reversed all these messages and tried my best to find out what they say in this video.

(Skip to 0:45 and 1:28 if you want to hear the messages reversed)

The first message seems to be saying "Someone help, the murderer's name is Bill" though I could be wrong.

The second message, when reversed, might be saying. "I'm tired. Everything is burning. Out of this cabin. You killed us all. Remember us."

I'm surprised not many people are talking about this, but my theory is that the person speaking may be someone from Bill's old dimension (which he destroyed) warning us about Bill. That or maybe they are speaking directly to Bill, tormenting him by reminding him about what he's done, since it's clear Bill feels an immense amount of guilt for destroying his home dimension. I do wonder why the messages change depending on whose name you put in though. Let me know what you guys think.
