So, I finally read flatland and decided to grab snippets that stood out which turned into using my entire work lunch break to explain flatland to two of my co-workers the amount of energy that goddamn story rattled my brain with is too much
flatland reference spotted (now that i'm looking for them) anyway the rest of this is the reactions i had to reading it the first time enjoyed spamming @falsekingfrancis about it and i think i'll put it down here too
probably get some shit wrong but anyway (tw: mention of eugenics among the other fucked up shit in flatland)
maybe later i will rant more about this- probably a sticky note on what might be similar to Euclidea and Flatland and the differences (like bill and his parents having arms and legs whereas flatlanders had no limbs, that kinda thing)
i don't think i'll watch the animated versions of flatland tho, the story had enough to tide over my thoughts for a while
I think that, even if his parents couldn't see the stars, they went star gazing just to see their boy happy
The individual panels to that bill edit I did today cause I'm proud of them actually

Hello!i am thinking of creating my own subfandom known as deicide.of course I wanted to make my own fanfic of continuation of realicide(i am very sad it got discontinued but it is what it is.)
You guys can reply and repost as much as you want.here are my ideas
Egoist will establish the union of egoists
Cultcom will encounter senatorialism, illuminatism and more
Realicide version of neoliberalism is metamodernism?
Ontolologism
The versions of the fringes in realicide are called the unhinges as an inside joke (avarationist,soulist,kraketocracy,hive mind collectivist)
Deicide(yeah so like we will kill all gods even anti-gods lol)
Anti-theists(Anti-thesis)
Atheist(New atheist)
Apatheist
Agnostic
Misotheism
Absurdism
Anti-Anti-Theists
Basically any religion, spiritual or such philosophies

okay that's all i could find for now, at least until the codes get decoded, they might be relevant too
Agent 1 and 2 was done so dirty and wrong.Including the cherubs.
They were competent antagonists to now dumb and annoying waste of characters in the show.
I know the Cherubs were annoying even in their first appearance but man.The concept of angels being fallen by an accident,self defense and stuck in a moral dilemma(damn if you do,damn if you don't situation where the IMP keeps pestering them when they only want to help)is so intriguing (them killing the old man in accident out of self defense from the IMP).Their potential is wasted to make heaven appear bad or dumb in hell(full moon).
The DHORKS could be interesting.I am excited for characters especially humans that can beef up with the supernatural.but instead it was a "secret" organization funded by something? Then when they show proof of demons, the government and church?(With the priests soldiers arming the gun in that scene).the way they show their operations seems like another lesser evil.As the Agents react nothing to the girls being killed in the hell's portal as a joke.
They became annoying instead of actual antagonists to the IMP .The way they are so defeated easily and their loss as a joke for slapstick humor is making their plot in their episodes useless.If anything they are not really an obstacle as IMP even mocks their easy defeat.just another plot device.
Don't forget how their team up sounds cool but disappointing.It could be their revenge or rather avenging themselves as the IMP did them wrong multiple times.But instead we get Cletus and Keenie acting blood thirsty angels while there is one genuine guy known as Collin being too innocent.Cletus and Kleenie reaction is justified tbh but the episode made them seems like another character being racist to hellborns litterally fighting them to death.Blitz insult them on his apology tour makes blitz apology a bit insincere.because again they are easily defeated.not even a temporary win like with striker so what is the point of them taking up screen time?what is the point of the agents being dramatic about demon hunting and the existence of DHORKS when humans are so dumb and let demons roam.What is the point of the CHERUBS existing to sabotage IMP when many times,IMP sabotage itself?.I feel like they are just here so we can laugh at them like how blitz makes fun of them in apology tour.
Cool detail I found.Both CHERUBS and DHORKS kill the IMP's client in accident.sounds like a doomed narrative.as if god is intervening their closeness to success into failure.tbf they are doomed as an antagonist already.even IMPs beefing themselves has more thematic conflict than these two.
Yo chat.what if the reason bill sees himself as a god.
Is it because he is the son of one?
I have a head canon that Euclid is the Godfather of their dimension Euclydia.Euclid is their god and Bill is the next heir.Scalene would also be like their axioms.Known to be the embodiment of one of Euclydia's kind.A kind of triangle like a ruler of a species.Axioms are Geometry version of angels as they obey the rule of geometry like Scalene.
Which explains Bill Cipher's Mutation and abilities.Being an heir of a literal father of geometry and mother of a geometric kind would cause something out of bounds to happen.Not to mention,Bill Cipher thinks he is "liberating" everyone.He has the souls of the euclideans inside his consciousness.He want to give them a gift and knowledge so badly but it only condemns them.He wanted power to make his fellow people go "up" with him.He wants to show them that is not comprehensible.He can hear and read the euclidean's souls in his mind like an omniscient god.
In my Au,Bill has this strange eye because his birth is like an evolution of math itself.Modern Math has what is called Euclidean N-spaces.Which bare multi-dimensional geometry.Bill is destined to see other dimension before he was born.Scalene will think it is a miracle but for Euclid,It was something he must let go.He knows his son will see the stars,he knows his son will be like him too.A mentor and a god.But he could only show bill something abstract,something that can't see but bill wanted to and even feel it.He knew his son will do something inevitable but he and scalene love and devote bill cipher akin of a god.
Bill could be the God of geometry in gravity falls as he manipulates space and time as some sort of dimension he could change it to anything.And him making his home into an atom is his topological powers of transforming a flat plane into a tiny sphere.If only Euclid taught him before he was gone.Also Modern Math break old rules all the time.So I imagine Bill to argue with Euclid a lot but feel so guilty to the point he never mention him in the book directly like his mom.He did mention his dad in the book,being so handsome with his hat.So Bill could love his mom in more direct ways while to his dad more subtle.
I am sobbing rn.please give me an ao3 fic where bill is with his mon scalene and father euclid RIGHT NOW
His home was called Euclydia and it was entirely two dimensional. ("Flat minds in a flat world with flat dreams.")
Bill was unique among his people because he had a mutation that allowed him to see the third dimension. This can mean that either a) Euclideans don't have eyes and Bill is the only one who had one or b) if they did have eyes, he literally had a third eye.
Bill's parents were most likely named Scalene and Euclid. Entering either of their names into the computer gives the prompt LIFE FORM NOT FOUND. Bill is stated to only draw red and blue triangles in art therapy, so those were probably their appearances.
From the code JUSTFITIN, you get this colour-coded poem:
Rock a bye billy Please don’t you cry It’s not your fault You have that strange eye Stay safe with mommy You’ll never fall And we’ll always love you Sharp angles and all
Bill says that everyone in Euclydia loved him. However, it's more likely that he was feared because of his mutation and talk of a third dimension. Bill has said numerous times that love and fear are the same, and if you enter WELLWELLWELLBEING into the computer:
Bill's parents took him to a doctor to help suppress his vision of the third dimension. This has been discovered through the codes on the silly straw page:
Fussy eater, baby Billy / Wouldn't drink unless it's silly The doctor says three sips a day / Will make the visions go away Eye doctor of a different kind / Who wants to make his patient blind Twisted out of shape after the kill / The ghosts of his family are haunting him still
Bill is responsible for the Euclidean massacre. Reversed audio on the website says that "the sky is on fire", and when Bill talks about liberating his dimension, his eye shows a fiery landscape too. Though he claims to have liberated them both in Weirdmageddon and the transmission with Time Baby, he is regretful and misses home. If you type in EVENHISLIESARELIES, you get a transcript of one of his sessions in the theraprism.
And from the axolotl's poem in Curse of the Time Pirate's Treasure:
When he tells Ford about his home dimension, he says that it was destroyed by a monster. And when Ford says that he could seek out the monster and get revenge on it, Bill replies: "Sixer, it would eat you alive." Bill also says that if he tries to talk about the day Euclydia was destroyed, there's a loud buzzing in his ears and he blacks out for 30 seconds. Still, he tells others that he freed everyone and that they are grateful for it. Until he gets drunk and starts calling out for his mom, asking her where she went...
I found another one!!!
Type bill's home dimension, Euclydia
Scalene
Irregular
Euclid
