made this ages ago and never finished, but I hate that so much work is in my drafts so maybe someone should see it.
I learned a ton after this, like key framing, I was mostly using ibis paint so that wasn't available. Maybe I could fix it up one day, but probably not. Got too ambitious I guess
Something about how Ford's favorite color is still a color that he could only see thanks to Bill.
Something about how Fordtramarine, assuming he can still see it, is an ever-present reminder of the ways Bill genuinely did enrich his life before the portal incident.
Or maybe something about how, even if he can't see it anymore thanks to no longer being under Bill's influence, he continues to push aside ordinary colors in pursuit of one he'll never see again, one inextricably bound to the being who simultaneously ruined and saved his life.
Also here's the drawings Bill made
glad youāre feeling better!
would you be comfortable sharing a sneak peek of the next chapter š
if not I totally understand please prioritize your well being!
Listen, I don't have a chapter sneak peak for you BUT..... because I'm making you all wait so long for this next chapter and I feel bad, I'm gonna give you a small snack.
This is an unpublished thingy that I posted on a little discord server that I'm in and people liked it there so I figured you might enjoy it here. It is just a very short warm-up drabble that I did ages ago and never used again. It's a bit messy and stuff, but whatever. It's set during MtB but it isn't really anything to do with the series. Just a little snippet of life within it:
I Got It Bad (and that ain't good) Rating:Ā NSFW (only slightly) Type:Ā Drabble Tags:Ā Kissing, implied sexual stuff. Very, very tiny inference to muses but meant in no certain way. No pronouns/body described. Word count:Ā 1233
When he's feeling contemplative, Ford likes to play the piano.
He is, like so many other things he turns his attention to, wonderful at it.Ā
Ford likes jazz. He pretends he's a classical purist but you've found the record sleeves on the shelves near his desk, youāve done a little snooping, and you know they rarely correspond to the vinyl inside. They're just for show. He plays it mainly in the evenings when he's treating himself to a glass of scotch; he'll listen to a particular artist (this week it's been an awful lot of Duke Ellington) and then recreate it on his own instrument.Ā
He'll start small. Just a slow, leisurely tinkling of the ivories as he finds his rhythm, and then he'll settle into his groove and flex yet another of his many skills as you listen from another room while you tidy up.
If you're especially lucky, he'll ask you to join him and give him feedback on it.Ā
He doesn't care about the feedback, of course, because he knows he's good and so does everyone else, and you're sure he's just using it as an opportunity to show off but you never mind.Ā
He has, in typical Ford fashion, always refuted your accusation: āI assure you, I certainly am not,ā he'd said one evening with a knowing smile, as you'd watched from your seat beside him. āI merely know that you like jazz and I play because you listen,ā and you'd felt such an intensely affectionate warmth bloom in your chest that you'd dropped the point immediately.
(And when he had added on a quiet: āPlus, I like the way you look at me when I do it,ā and you'd made him hit a bum note when youād leant up to press a kiss to the corner of his mouth, then, well, who can blame you?)Ā
Your favourite thing to do, beyond simply enjoying the melodies, is to watch his hands and fingers as he works.Ā
He'd been a little apprehensive at first, once he had noticed, but you had been quick to reassure him that your interest was appreciative, if perhaps salacious, and not even close to judgemental.Ā
āWould you be uncomfortable if I took a video?ā You ask one dark winter's evening, leaning against the pianoās top while you observe him. āJust for myself, I mean.āĀ
āWhatever for?ā Ford responds without missing a beat of his metronome.Ā
He's going away soon. He and Stan set sail in two days time and itās a long trip this time, which means for four months, four long, agonising months, youāll be without him. Itās almost too much to bear and your heart feels like lead at the thought.Ā
āBecause Iām going to miss you and Iād like to have something to remind me of you when I feel like shit,ā you say.Ā
The corner of Fordās mouth curls upward a fraction and he spares you a thinly veiled, heated glance, his cheeks turning pink. āI thought our plan was to give you plenty of reminders the night beforeā¦.?āĀ
Your stomach flutters.Ā
āIād like more than bruises, if you wouldnāt mind,ā you say, biting down on a smile.Ā
Ford laughs under his breath and after a moment, says: āAnd itās just for you? The video?āĀ
āOf course,ā you reassure him. āI donāt have to, I justā¦. Your hands are my favourite part of you and I think about them, often.āĀ
Too often, some might say.Ā
Ford laughs again, a little louder this time. āNot my dashing good looks?ā he teases. āOr my dazzling personality? You wound me, my dear.āĀ
You grin. āAll of the above,ā you say with a shrug. āBut especially your hands.āĀ
āIs that so?ā Ford says, taking one hand from the keys to pat the empty space beside him. āAnd what, pray tell, do you think about them?āĀ
You go where he asks, taking up a seat at his side obediently. āLots of things.āĀ
āSuch asā¦.?āĀ
Heās fishing for compliments, you both know it, but does sound genuinely curious, too.Ā
āI think theyāre the most beautiful hands Iāve ever seen,ā you say, giving him exactly what he wants. āAnd I think about how they fit in mine. I think about how they feel, how your thumb rubs over my knuckles when we hold hands and how your little finger does the same on the sides, you know, just because you can do thatā¦.ā
āAnything else?ā Ford asks, voice warm.Ā
You smile, eyes transfixed on the way his fingers tick across the ivory. āAndā¦. I like to think about how you hold my thighs when you have your head between them. The way you hold onto my hips. How your fingers taste when you put them in my mouth.āĀ
Ford makes a soft sound, somewhere between a contented sigh and an aroused groan, and his hands falter momentarily before he restarts his playing.Ā
āIs that so?ā he says, hoarse.Ā
āMm,ā you hum absentmindedly. Your head is full of those same thoughts right now, your mindās eye blurred with the memories of Fordās fingers climbing underneath your jeans and inching past your underwear. Of touching you so intimately that you have to press your thighs together slightly to sate the longing.Ā
Ford catches it.Ā
āYouāre thinking about it right now,ā he mutters, and his tone holds no question.
Heās stopped playing. His hands are frozen over the keys.Ā
āArenāt you?ā you answer, eyes still on them.Ā
Ford exhales slowly through his nose, shaky,Ā restrained. āIām always thinking of you,ā he says simply.Ā
You tear your eyes away to look up at him, only to find that his gaze is already on you.Ā
Fordās eyes are molten, half-lidded and hot, and they flick down to your mouth and back up to your own.Ā
āYouāre terrible,ā he says, in such a way that itās obvious he means it in the most complimentary context possible. āA terrible, terrible influence on an old man like me.āĀ
A smirk creeps onto your face. Itās always satisfying to see the effect you have on him. āI can leave, if youād like me to. I have plenty to do and I-!āĀ
Ford pushes the stool back with one leg, your combined weights little more than a minorĀ inconvenience to him, and he hauls you into his lap before you can even finish the thought.Ā
You laugh, loud and bright, and fling your arms around his neck to hold on tightly to him and avoid sending you both to the floor in a heap. āOr not,ā you concede.Ā
āNever,ā agrees Ford, and then heās kissing you.Ā
Itās slow and tender and white hot as always.Ā
You can feel his arousal press between your legs and itās enough to make you smile against his mouth.Ā
āWhat a dirty old man youāve become,ā you say dramatically, nudging your nose against his.Ā
āI'm only what my muse makes of me,ā Ford says raggedly. āAnd you are an awfully seductive force, you knowā¦.āĀ
āSo I've been told,ā you smile, one hand wandering below to palm him gently through his slacks.Ā
Ford groans, low and deep, and tilts his head back. āI'll make a deal with you,ā he says quietly. āI swore off them a long time ago but just for you, just this once: if you keep doing that, I'll let you take footage of any fucking thing you likeā¦.āĀ
You grin.Ā
āDeal.āĀ

Sleep was something of a fifty-fifty endeavour for you.
In the best case scenario, you would wake up fully rested with no further issues, but in the worst case? Youād see him there; his looming presence haunting the darkest depths of your mindāforcing you to remember just how much control he truly had over youāagain and again.
For a while, he left you alone, letting your mind recover for just long enough to be lulled into a false sense of security. Tonight however, just as you finally were about to fall sleep⦠you got a bad feeling.
Bill was waiting for you and you could tell.
(It was all too good to be true. You were never free to begin with, you silly thing.)
Your dreamscape itself was pretty simple, as far as you understood it. Your mind presented memories in a large paper calendar with core fragments highlighted in a red marker. A lot of what was stored was mundane, but if you flipped the pages back far enough, you could relive the one and only time that you allowed Bill to get close to you.
It wasnāt just highlighted in red marker, but it had been tampered with; decorated around the borders by Bill himself. Small yellow triangles scratched in glittering ink and etchings of singular eyes familiar to his own.
A memory locked away of you being just nineteen, maybe twenty, wasting away over the summer back home from college. You didnāt have much going on and the temptation to let Bill in was stronger than ever.
You shouldnāt have done soā¦
(ā¦But you did.)
You hated that memory; a sign of momentarily lapsed weakness captured and replayed for as long as you lived. Dreams were something you didnāt have anymore otherwise. It was either nothingness or it was something like this.
You were exhausted.
The memory was always the same, too.
You watched on from within the shadows as though you were a helpless passenger with no control of the vehicle; witnessing the time that you let Bill in when you shouldnāt have. His sudden appearance and mocking demeanour betrayed no hint at him likely anticipating it at the timeāso smug and pridefulāa willing victim fallen to manipulation.
It was a humiliating sight to witness as your past self became so flustered and overwhelmed like soft putty in his hands. You had no choice but to endure this replaying memory, watching as his arm snaked towards your lower body, going places where you should never have let him go.
Curse that⦠entity.
That wretched demon.
Why did he have to make you relive this scene again and again? Was it because he knew about your struggles to get off in the waking world? You betted that he did. Watching from the shadows as you tried to touch yourself to relive that moment, only to be shamed by your own self out of doing so.
You couldnāt ever follow through.
Not when he was potentially watching.
(And you would hate for him to tell you that he told you so, that you canāt help but still want him back. Oh no, no, no. The very least you could do was to deny him that pleasure.)
While distracted, you accidentally gulped just loud enough for your voice to bleed into the memory. Shit. You managed to avoid him for so long by enduring and keeping quiet, but now you had inadvertently doomed yourself to something else.
Bill dislodged from your past self, leaving them to sulk back onto the floor. His voice was deceptively enthusiastic as always, emanating an eerie whimsy, āWell, well, well. Look whoās all red faced from spying on what was supposed to be a private moment? Who knew that it would get you so worked up?ā
āIām notā¦ā you trailed off, feeling less than confident in your reply, āI'm not worked up.ā
āNo?ā he taunted, sounding disbelieving before pointing his cane back to your dream self, still sulking but otherwise panting and recollecting their breath from stolen pleasure. āI think that youāre lyingā¦! Or, no⦠Could it be that youāreāthat youāre jealous? Oh wow, now this is rich!ā
You didnāt dare reply but you did freeze a little as he resumed his actions on you instead. This was a new development. He pushed his cane in between your legs, willing you to clench tight against it with an unseen force before wriggling it around long enough to elicit a pleasured response.
āOh, donāt tell me that this is all it takes to get you going these days?ā Bill mocked, slightly pumping and stirring the stick around your clenching form. āI didnāt think that you would be so sensitive, so desperate and dare I say⦠needy? You really are full of surprises!ā
Finally finding your backbone, you attempted to put a stop to the madness, āGet out of my head, Bill.ā
He could only let out a dry, humourless laugh before sliding out the cane from your teased sex at last.
āSilly you!ā he beamed once more, pushing you up against the wall from that same hidden power from before. āWhy not just admit it, huh? You actually kind of liked that! Didnāt you?ā
āN-no,ā you denied with an unconvincing stutter, āitās n-not like that.ā
Bill however didnāt waver, slipping his hands beneath the fabric of your crotch, reaching to feel the evidence of your arousal. āWow! So excited and just from a little touch! If you didnāt like that, then why are you reacting that way, huh?ā
āStopāā you tried to punch back, your own words betraying you as you in fact didnāt want him to cease.
āāyeah, yeah,ā he sneered, pulling back at your request, but you could tell that it was far from over.
You watched as he floated around with some sort of purpose, the once nostalgic interior of your old bedroom fading away into a blank void, along with your past self dissolving into nothingness.
āYou can pretend to hate me now,ā Bill continued after a moment of tense silence, ābut deep down, I know you crave a release, donāt you? And hey, Iāll tell you what. Give in to me and Iāll leave you alone for a whole year.ā
āWhatās the catch?ā you wearily sighed.
Bill laughed heartily to himself before propping the came back to where it was, his voice thoroughly amused, āAw, nothing! Why do you always think thereās a catch?ā he asked, lazily stroking at your sex, seemingly taking pleasure in watching you writhe, āI can be nice⦠sometimes! As long as you can admit that you canāt live without me⦠then Iāll give you that and more.ā
āYou know that Iāll never do that,ā you shot back.
āStill playing hard to get?ā he asked, swirling the wand around some more. āNot a problem. I can always rekindle that spark. How about I remind you exactly why, that for a while, you couldnāt stop thinking about me all the timeā¦ā he trailed off slightly, his voice temporarily fond before returning back to ridiculing, āā¦or maybe Iāll tease your past version who did like me over and over. Or better yet! Maybe Iāll just stick around in your head forever. Youāre too much fun to mess with, after all.ā
The atmosphere in the void pocket then dropped to something else, something thick with danger and perhaps even longing possession. His form faded towards you, flashing up tight against you in stark, jarring clarity.
With a wide, manic eye, his voice became low, methodical and even suggestive, āLetās face it, youāll never get rid of me⦠at least not fully. Iāll always be a part of you and because of that⦠Iām⦠not⦠going⦠anywhere!ā
His words built up in slowly charged pulses, practically erupting with menacing glee by the final word. In a way, you had to admit it, he was good at messing with you.
You had barely any time to process what he was saying however, before his hands were back to where they were. He stroked at you with more passionate fervour that time, stealing occasionally uttered moans that broke out of your lips, sending radiating waves of red that coloured your cheeks in embarrassment.
āAw, look at ya,ā Bill caught on, catching the note of your slipped whimper by holding one hand to the side of his linear surface, as though taking it into his body. āSo confused, but so arousedā¦! Oh, thatās adorable!ā
You bit your lip as the pleasure within you rose with simmering force, feeling a tightening stir boiling from within your lower abdomen. He knew exactly what he was doingāgetting you all hot like thatāwrithing and squirming at his will and yet, as he drove you closer towards the edge, he stopped. Bill abruptly pulled away from you and didnāt allow you to have the final push that was otherwise needed for you to come undone. Being as cruel as he was, he yanked his hand back and hovered ever so slightly above you, feeding you a look of pure, utter contempt.
āNot so fast, silly. Looks like you got a little too excited, huh?ā he laughed, propping his cane that time underneath your chin before forcing you to look up at him, āyou know the drill: Iāll only play nice when you can finally admit that you need me⦠until then, enjoy waking up all alone, frustrated and confused.ā
And with that, you tore upright into the waking world a cold, clammy sweat feeling angry. The last remnants of an already fleeting warmth evaporated away into nothingnessāleaving you to wonder if it actually did happenābut if Bill had forced you to forget the pleasure he had caused.
Knowing him, thatās exactly what he did.
Just to be cruel.
illuminaughty wasnt bad but this one was??
What do you think Bill would do to purposely frustrate a powerful reader?
a/n ā I got another request about how this would affect āsubspaceā for Bill, so thatās happening later š
warnings ā SFW, toxic relationships, manipulation
summary ā Bill Cipher x Powerful!Reader headcanons
⤠A reader thatās more powerful Bill is something iāve rarely seen touched on, but it would absolutely make for an interesting dynamic.
⤠Iām not the first person to say heād feel some kind of competition with the reader, but there would be a kind of rivalry there, powers-wise.
⤠He wouldnāt be insecure, per se, but he wouldnāt particularly love the idea that youāre better than him.Ā
⤠A more powerful reader would invoke a subtle sense of curiosity within him too; Why exactly are you more powerful, anyways? What can you do? How can he use it?
⤠Heād definitely egg you on, āI bet you canāt do thisā etc, to see what youāre capable doing, and what powers youāre willing to āthrow around.ā
⤠But when heās trying to make you mad, thereās a multitude of things he can do. Being annoying is truly one of his specialties.
⤠Obviously, nothing to far. He still needs you on his side.Ā
⤠But youād be doing something important and all of a sudden, someone is repeatedly poking your cheek. āboop.ā
⤠If you have an important job in the multiverse, he might purposely setback your work, hide papers, move things around.Ā
⤠Heād start fights with other beings in your name, forcing you to confront them, and display exactly how mighty your power is.
⤠And he does like watching you fight.Ā
⤠Obviously, majority of his efforts would be secretive, as he doesnāt particularly want you to end him.
⤠But when you do lash out at him, he finds it.. exciting. Heās not normally at other peoples mercy, and sometimes, itās a thrill.
⤠Just as long as he can tame the beast.Ā
⤠Although, there is always the idea of the reader being the one pulling the strings, even if he doesnāt know it.Ā
If youāre being questioned about a murder by one of those hobbyist detectives. it is an absolute rule that you have to be washing the dishes or pruning some plants while talking, so that when they finally get around to asking a pointed question about where you were at the time of the murder you can freeze for a second with a knife in your hand. Itās enrichment for them you gotta understand. They thrive off of red herrings, itās their favorite treat, so even if you have a rock solid alibi and werenāt involved with the murder at all you have to give them some reason to be suspicious of you. Itās what friends are for.
What a harmless little creature! based on this
I made these cursed pages for Chapter 5 of Till Weirdmageddon Do Us Part [Bill Cipher x Female Reader], a totally normal(!) rom-com where you "accidentally" marry a triangle and now your life is held together with sarcasm, eldritch glitter, and emotional damage lasagna.
Font by: ~ Chloe ~ !!!
Featuring: Poor decision-making, interdimensional marriage drama, passive-aggressive eggplants(?), Ford Pines experiencing seventeen emotions and repressing eighteen, Bill making inappropriate jokes, a reader with morals (not good ones), *cough cough* probably some smut along the way + ROMANCE (questionable)
