honestly the main reason that my bill flatland fic is so focused on the satire aspects of the original novella is because that's the most fascinating part of the book to me. the dimensional stuff that doesn't tie into the social aspects are conceptually interesting but honestly mostly whatever to me, i don't really care about it from a mathematics standpoint and i'm not super interested in alien biology and stuff in stories. i'm here for the horrible little victorians and how absolutely stifling their terrible world is

#also frankly i think that's the horror of the dimension and-- from a gravity falls perspective-- THAT's what would have upset bill #like if the second dimension had been the second dimension withot the bigotry and supression of art maybe it would have been a little bland #but 'a little bland' is one cut and bill is someone who canonically suffered a thousand #he's the type who would have always grown frustrated by the limits of his dimension but it would have take longer and been less explosive #and less angry and pointed and more of an 'i need to see what else is out there'#if said limits weren't so horribly and purposefully curated by a eugenics-loving color-supressing god-king upperclass #idk i think about it like... when we think about our world and the things that frustrate us #we don't usually go 'the fact we can't see the fourth dimension!' or start seriously complaining about our evolutionary biology #i think very few people would answer those sorts of things when asked how they would change the world they live in #it's /societal/ and /personal/ stuff y'know. that's what wears us down
