Alternate plot lines within the canon(maybe):
Canon character desings:
I spent three months working on this drawing: two months on the first two parts and one month on the extras. It was a real challenge, but I had fun trying to match the original Gravity Falls style. Here's a little behind-the-scenes!
The plan was to post it by the end of December, then by the first two weeks of January, and well... It's already February 3rd. I would have posted it much earlier, I was really eager to share it, but I wanted to add the extra drawings!
Mental note: never do giant drawings again because they lose quality when compressed 😞oh man
i feel so proud <3
Anyways, i'm still learing English, so please tell me if i say something weird or incorrect.
(if it's this, i going to die of shame).
how silly it is to tie your own noose
i probably should have made ford say something but honestly, what do you say here? thank you bill? this is so kind of you, bill? I really needed this today, bill? it looks fucking disgusting, bill? bill, I couldn't help but notice that you couldn't be bothered to kill it yourself. is that all i'm worth to you, bill, just some shit you found on the side of the road? do you even like me, bill? do i mean anything to you?
an old comic i drew as kind of a vibe check for a longer form comic i've been chewin on since TBOB came out, "Nevermind All That"
as a concept its got bill's perspective torn between earth and theraprism . lotta stupid introspection . like the sopranos but if it was written by someone who has never watched the sopranos and knows nothing about the sopranos
Character development
read @ancharan fic about coffee
also this really excellent followup by @spammichsammich
WHOSE THAT POKEMON
One of those insists-on-their-full-name kids!
Maybe ALL lullabies are kinda messed up
this is exactly how their first meeting played out, right Dipper?
Pyramid Steve's favourite treat is pre-1982 pennies
(Ford slooooowly starting to realize his muse of infinite knowledge might, in fact, be a dumbass.)
local baby too powerful
MORE DOODLES JUST FOR U
KEEP THE GOOD JOB, I LIKE EVERYTHING YOU DO 😭😭
(god bless DILF Ford 🙌)
AAAAAAAAAA THEY ARE SO CUTE. ILLEGAL. TOO CUTE, THOSE BIG OLE BABY EYES!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAGHJGJKKK <3<3<3
They are all SO GOOD omg
The baby licking his faaaaace, Ford holding him so precious like that, the twin confusion, Stan dangling that gumdrop ha!!! The group shots with Ford and Bill and Steve, not one but two! Bill kicking him little feet on Ford's shoulder!!! Bill holding the baby!!
I love how expressive and squishy and detailed you draw them <3
THANK YOU THANKYOUTHANKYOOU<3 I need to get a wallet and show all these off like a sitcom dad.
If Ford had a day off with little Steve, would they do father-son activities? Which ones?
Yup! All the normal stuff, hiking and bug collecting and games- though Ford has to be reminded that little Steve is still little and can't play Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons for awhile yet (Ford just gets excited, you know?)
Also playground time!
Err, maybe not playground time.
(joke from natural habitat shorts)
he's fine, that was just a spicy treat for him
(I am pretty sure ALL toddlers would eat a bug Ford, don't take it too hard. one day he'll like moth collecting less culinarily!)

Leaving a whole lot of questions that don't need to be answered, Stanley!!!
Just two blorbos on a date.
I heard the song "Frontier Psychiatrist" by The Avalanches and it immediately reminded me of your Bill- the artists make songs out of clips from old movies, and I feel like this one is a perfect mix of chaos, tragedy, Bill's childhood, and the Theraprism.
On that note, is there a specific genre of Earth music or an artist that Bill would listen to? We know there was music in Euclydia, but is there any flavor of human music he likes? (Or would at least tolerate?)
Boy are you ever in luck because I have a whole post about what (mostly human) musical genres I think Bill would canonically like. And an addendum. And what he'd think about dreamcore. And a few specific bands I was asked about. And the ONLY Lemon Demon song I'd ever add to his (and Mabel's) playlist. And I made a playlist of what I think he'd listen to, although it's really more of a small sampling of the kind of nonsense he'd play. And what songs he'd like playing on the piano, which is a different question from what he listens to. And a further addendum to the initial posts about his tastes, plus a mention of how, in fic, Bill's tastes would change due to being stuck with the humans. And a little summary of most of the above.
(And as long as this post is turning into a masterpost for my musical taste headcanons, I'm going to add my post about the Mystery Shack gang's musical preferences and Ford and Mabel's similar tastes and songs Ford would like but doesn't know about and a smattering of stray thoughts including about Gideon's tastes and Gideon's tastes part 2 and Gideon's tastes part 3 goddammit. And the next time I try to find all my GF music headcanon posts, I'll run into this post first and save myself time searching for the rest.)
Based on the info we have from canon:
we know he thinks non-musical (to us) sounds make for some damn good music, but understands the difference between music he likes and objectively "good music" by human standards
he's into mid-20th-century music—but one of the first human songs he specifically highlighted as good was garage rock and he really hit his stride infiltrating the human music industry with motown, so I tilt him closer to the 60s than the 40s
he's into fun party music, which drowns out the screams in his soul
he doesn't say he hates country music, but he really gives off those vibes
He's heard listening to a fair amount of EDM despite claiming synth music is "painful," so I put the dividing line for "good electronica" and "painful electronica" around 1990 and have him steer away from new wave in particular
Addictive earworms are his enemy, and I like to imagine him battling them like how medieval scholars drew knights battling giant snails
He's fairly fluent in popular music in general and can casually drop song references into conversations with humans.
Outside the info we have from canon, I imagine he's pretty easy to get into new music as long as it's "fun"—he doesn't like broody downer sad songs—but I think getting him into 3 or 4 mad-at-the-world-and-your-parents early '00s alt-rock bands would fix him.
