i really hope this guy never becomes obscure. he's not just a cartoon character to me hes a historical icon. a relic from a very specific time in the 2010s that helped shape modern fandom culture. immortalized on forearm tattoos, graffiti murals, bootleg redbubble tshirts, tree carvings, and tumblr sexyman polls worldwide. like a bug trapped in amber, except it's a really fucked up bug who collects teeth and has a cult-like internet presence. he's like the mickey mouse of deviantart zoomers. also he is very nicely shaped

I wish I was the book charts

this just felt like something he'd say

alex hirsch was hired by big english teacher to make people give a shit about the great gatsby

Mabel and Ford after having a heart to heart about Bill :)

BOOK OF BILL SPOILERS

🍻

Nother doodle

if this gets 50 notes I'll buy the book of bill

Wow I wonder why this post is popular again

I can’t fucking believe this. “I have a very important relationship in my life with Bill” “Is Ford gonna find anyone else in the multiverse that strokes his ego as well as me?” “Our will-they-or-won’t-they-take-over-the-universe relationship” Bill and Ford I know what you are

Does this count as a TBoB spoiler?? Idk you decide

headcanon: "i have decided that this is true about the character, and it doesn't matter to me if the canon text supports my idea or not."

interpretation: "after considering elements present in the canon text, I have decided that this might be true about the character and here's why."

subtext: "I can show you strong evidence in the text and context of the work that this interpretation could be the actual authorial intent."

BOOK OF BILL TALK

spoilers ahead

I ship Billford now

IN MY DEFENSE TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WITH THIS SHIP FOR YEARS:

I’m demi-ace and it’s hard for me to see a ship if I don’t see a connection and OH BOY. We get some abusive, kinky and toxic-ex shit. Like it’s awful, but I love me a toxic ship narrative and I am FUELED UP. Bill was probably more down bad than Ford.

I will say, I’ve always respected BillFord. But it’s the same with me and FiddleStan or Mabifica. I just couldn’t see it. I love the artwork and fanfics for it, but uhhh….

Expect fanart in the future

BUT! I also got me some GOOOOD fuel for Fiddauthor. Seriously, who makes two handmade Christmas presents for his “friend”, and then completely forgets to get something for his wife??. Fiddleford McGucket, that’s who

They’re so fucking cute ommgggg

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

Oh my fucking god

today we find out a book's gonna be released that at least partially discusses Bill's backstory

and today's planned chapter just happens to be the one where Bill starts slowly revealing his backstory in present time.

I am REALLY about to lock myself in on getting jossed hard by The Book of Bill

SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK OF BILL – MY STORY SECTION, MEET THE CREW PAGE

THERE IS A NON-ZERO CHANCE THAT THIS IS JHESELBRAUM. SAME EYES, SAME LIPS, SAME HOOD, HER ENTRY SAYS SHE’S THE SMARTEST ONE AND FIGURED OUT SOMETHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH PORTALS TO OTHER DIMENSIONS

I had worried they’d make her not be purple

I think this version is cute, though. She looks vaguely froglike. But we don’t know that it’s her

no context

I’ve been making up lore about Jheselbraum since fall 2022, so I’m writing it down and documenting it before The Book of Bill comes out just in case

I imagine she’s about 8-8.5 ft tall and her skin is purple; this isn’t canon, but most fanartists draw her this way. In my personal headcanons/lore, Jheselbraum Adastra was born as a mostly regular person in Dimension 52, with a twin sister. They were good friends and had happy lives, until Bill Cipher attacked Dimension 52 in their mid-20s. With no barrier to hold Bill in, he did a great amount of harm to their dimension. Jheselbraum and her twin joined a rebel group and fought Bill for about a year. Eventually, they devised a plan to defeat Bill by forcing him back into the rift. Her sister was plan B – she’d built something like an early quantum destabilizer, with different technology. The rebels’ plan works somewhat, but not well enough, so her sister confronts Bill on a mountaintop as he struggles to stay in the dimension. Not wanting to risk another failure, she overloads the machine (it’s powered with some kind of light magic). Despite Bill’s truthful warnings, she shoots him with it, blasting him back through the rift. It instantly explodes, killing her and destroying the top of the mountain. The fight is over, but Jheselbraum is devastated. She knows of the Axolotl, and immediately invokes him to reincarnate her sister. She builds a temple to him on top of the mountain where her twin died, hoping this will help (there’s a large, roughly flat surface there after the explosion), and soon creates the zodiac prophecy as a way to defeat Bill (this is how she eventually knew about Ford and his mission). Jheselbraum holds this grudge against Bill for a billion years. She becomes more and more powerful in order to defend her home again if necessary, makes herself immortal, and waits.

I’ll probably post a lot about the content of The Book of Bill after I get it on the 23rd. This WILL contain spoilers. I plan to tag all posts with #the book of bill spoilers and put spoiler content under a read more. Above the read more will be a clear warning that this is a spoiler, and an indication of where in the book it is (with page number if possible, or the specific section, just in case you’re partway through).

I take spoilers extremely seriously. I will do as much as I can to avoid spoiling other people; please do the same for me. TAG YOUR SPOILERS, and remember to block the spoiler tag before the book is released if you don’t want to see them.

How to mute a tag: Settings > General Settings > Filtering > add new tag

can I offer you a small bill in these trying times

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE TRIANGLE 💛🎉🎉 CAN’T WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK IN 11 DAYS!!! I LOVE YOU BILL

It’s finally the 10th anniversary of one of my favorite Gravity Falls episodes, Dreamscaperers!

Happy birthday, Bill Cipher! Have some confetti and a party, weirdo 💛

what’s your favorite muppet?

GONZO‼️‼️ I was cast as Gonzo in a second grade play, and I made his nose out of papier-mâché. He’s been my favorite ever since. I also love that he’s the weirdest one! (I’m guessing I got the role for a reason.)

Also, please look at how he dresses

hws like a cqt

So true anon

am I doing this meme right

glad to see Bill supporting our small autistic authors. No other words but that with this knowledge I have willingly decreed killing him would do more harm than good. We need him now.

I want to gently kiss Bill Cipher’s eyelid
