Slight book of Bill spoilers!
Him being a pathetic ex was not on my 2024 bingo card....
some quick "thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com" PSA's because we're just going in circles now lol
notawebsite.com is not related to gravity falls in any way! it's a 20+ year old site full of unrelated weirdness. do not pursue
the analog horror videos are fanmade! super cool but not official
this image is fake, the text is not in the source code of the site. do not pursue
people are saying the name of this episode on disney plus just changed, that's not true. it's been this way for years
the random capitalization in the PDF of great gatsby are not a code, they're just weird formatting! everything caps in that version was italicized in the original. do not pursue unless you really wanna get gatsby'd
check out this google doc if you want to get caught up!

The Axolotl: "Now, there'll be no more interruptions, distractions, or side plots. Bill Cipher, is there anything further you'd like to say to the Court?"
*A piano, which was notably not there beforehand, is present with Bill sitting on its bench. He flexes his fingers before drifting them towards the white-and-black keys, playing the opening notes of a tune. He then turns to face the great amphibian expectantly*
The Axolotl: "Not in the form of a song."
*Bill's eye twitches in annoyance for a moment and he closes it to gain composure before opening it back up*
Bill: "I'm innocent."
The Axolotl: "Very well."
*They move to face the jury, opening their mouth for a second to speak before being immediately interrupted by a certain triangle continuing his statement while playing a melody on the piano*
Bill: "I'm so incredibly innocent that the word 'innocent ' should be written on my face. The 'i' would stand for 'I'm innocent.' The 'n' would stand for 'nothing wrong,' which is what I've done. The 'a' would stand for—"
Ford: "That's not how you spell 'innocent.'"
Bill: "I'm sure spelling doesn't count."
The Axolotl: "Spelling counts."
*Bill's eye scrunches in annoyance at the frilled god and he does his best to side-eye them with his singular eye before placing focus back on his piano*
Bill: "Well, then 'innocent' should be spelled 'B-I-L-L' because that is how I plead!"
*The keys got louder with the pronunciation of each letter and he finished off with a selection of sweet notes, nodding in showmanship*
(Incorrect Quote sourced from the episode "Penultimate Peril: Part 2" of the show "A Series of Unfortunate Events".)
*Ford and Stan open the door to the Mystery Shack and step outside, exiting it*
Ford: "Now, all that stands between us and enjoying ourselves is—"
Bill: "YOUR OL' PAL AND OVERLORD, BILL CIPHER! MUAHAHAHA!"
*Ford flinches back as Bill shoves his face into his personal space, one hand of his grasping a flashlight which he flickers on-and-off as the other one waves up and down; gesturing madly*
Bill: "Zzzz—eerrk! Lightning! HAHAHA! "
*The flashlight then flickers off...permanently...leaving Bill to shake it furiously. The Axolotl walks up from behind him, wearing a white lab coat*
The Axolotl: "I cut his dramatic-entrance budget."
(Incorrect Quote sourced from the episode "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!" of the series "Ducktales (2017)".)
Bill: "So, Frills, just wanted to double check. How do ethical beings feel about murder?"
The Axolotl: "It's frowned upon."
(Incorrect Quote sourced from the episode "Derek" of the series "The Good Place".)
I don't have the imagination to make long and elaborate comics, so take these scenes:
Bill: Okay, secrets of the universe, how do you take care of a baby?
"AHORA TIENES BRAZOS!!!"
Typical Steve
Intentado vestir un triángulo chubby (el tema de su corbata y bombín lo veré mas adelante-)
Bill: Ohh, you're liking your new play ground now, heh?
(Quadrangle of Qonfusion from Journal 3)
Steve: Here I brought your king's cape, Bill
Bill: Perfect! That painting will look great!
-
Bueno, mi mente prefiere que Steve siga siendo un niño, asi que hasta ahí nos va el asunto familiar de Bill y Steve 🤷🏻♀️
Un "aprendiz" gratuito, adorable y casi obediente / A gratuitous, adorable, and almost obedient "apprentice"
Y una gran escusa para olvidar por un momento que mataste a toda tu familia y la del escuincle que estás cuidando / And a great excuse to forget for a moment that you killed your entire family and that of the kid you're babysitting
Bonus:
"Everything is going wonder"
I don't know. I also don't know if they've already created an AU like that :[ (If this is the case, tell me-)
I just wanted a Bill finding a baby Steve after the Euclydia incident

THEY MAKE ME SICK
Just playing gang, I love them trust 🙏 I had to stop writing chapter 2 so i can just go on and have a fun little break to draw these guys…
go read The Last Judgement guys…I posted a link to it recently…i should prolly pin that 💀
Felt the need to also doodle the terrifying trauma triangle.
Also needed an excuse to draw a human and this as the only way I got the motivation…
The book of bill is eating me alive.
just wanna put this little illustration out there. Teen Stan and Kid Stan are so fucking cute but it's also so fucking sad. Like, literally all of the stuff about Stan on the website is so sad like literally.
GRAVITY FALLS SPOILERS MAYBE? FOR THISISNOTAWEBSITEDOTCOM.COM — AT LEAST WITH BILL CIPHER AND STAN PINES/GRUNKLE
This involves thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com and Bill's PTSD involving Stan along with a theory of Bill Cipher possibly still in Grunkle Stan's mind.
So I've been seeing some people concerned over the idea that Bill Cipher hasn't left Stan's mind at least not fully, and while I do also have some belief that maybe some remnant is still there—perhaps it's just Bill's remains left behind all while his soul is trapped in Theraprism.
But the idea that Bill still has access to Stan like before, nah.
In reality; I highly doubt it, it feels just like at the end of The Book of Bill: where Bill snaps over the mere idea that Stanley must've influenced the reader not to join him, just him viscerally screaming out Grunkle Stan's name— resulting with Bill in the void swearing that someone will let him out.
Bill Cipher is labeled with Max Security Rec in the Theraprism, that implies that he's clearly being watched even if they had this one 'slip up' with the Book of Bill. They still hold more power over him since they confiscate his book after five minutes :)
To me, it feels like he's lashing out now—Bill is now what he considers his lowest and is raging at Stanley for not only beating him, for being a cheaper version of Sixer, but for also being happy. To me: Bill is desperate; he's trying to plant doubt that they fully purged him from Stan's mind in which I highly doubt that either the Axolotl or the Theraprism wouldn't notice.

But we'll see what happens if any updates come again, maybe I'm wrong and Bill isn't truly gone from the Pines Family 🤷♀️ but from what we've been seeing, Bill is grasping at straws now and clearly he's mad that he underestimated Grunkle Stan lmao get rekt loser
i hate when people get like way too into theories to the point where it just waters down the whole idea. like i see people being like "WHAT IF Bill forged the missing journal pages??" or "what if he actually didnt open up to Ford at all and everything he said was a lie abt his backstory" ??? like, we're rounding back around to "what if it was a coma the whole time" type stuff. its just really uninteresting and boring. obviously thats not whats going on, and if it was itd be lame asf. id rather deep dive into what theyre saying and analyze their characters rather than assume everything is just fake, it kinda reduces everything to mush imo. the whole point of tbob is that bill is NOT all knowing as he seems and hes actually not always 50 steps ahead. he has faults and real emotions and makes mistakes. he just makes it seem like hes in control so that people WILL question themselves. his bark is bigger than his bite.

that one fucking pingu screenshot.
Whatever I get horribly flashbacked to everything traumatic that ever happened in my life - my mind just refuses to accept it, like no, that's not me, that must have been someone else, I POSSIBLY couldn't be fine after [REDACTED] but, I'm fine, right? so it means that [REDACTED] never happened and I'm just lying to myself and making shit up, I just gotta suck it up and be tougher.
and if you ask me that's very fucking Stanley Pines core.
my take on Bills design gng
I have not seen anyone talk about this but do you guys see the resemblance or am I going crazy
"my niece told me that some of you on the internet are thirsting after me" - Stanford pines²⁰²⁵
Mabel probably has tiktok folders for all those edits of her grunkles..... Kept safe and sound.....
"They're so cool....." She chants while rewatching the thirstrap, giggling and kicking her feet while being completely unaware of editors true intentions.... (Yet)
That stupid TikTok trend idk man
Girl-dad gotta do what girl-dad gotta do
Whatever he sees a yellow traingular traffic sign on the road - it's on SIGHT.
"HEY BROTHER! IT'S SIXER! I'M GONNA TAKE THE SWIM IN FROZEN LAKE TOMORROW AND I MIGHT NEVER COME BACK, SO IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT'S BECAUSE I NEVER LOVED YOU. BUH-BYEEEE!!!!"
He's psychotic but it's okay I can fix that
Young Ford literally shoved that journal in Stanleys hands, giving him no other choice other than accept it and just do what he was told, while later on Ford held out their childhood picture, waiting till Stan accepted it himself.
"can you give me one more chance?"
Ford pulling out that journal from the left side of his coat which represents logic, but then after the development - pulling out their childhood picture from the right side, which represents feelings.
I'm talking about brain Hemispheres, whose side of the brain is responsible and dominant for one exact action.
Yes, this topic can be arguable, because, from viewers perspective their right is our left and the opposite, BUT
above I spoke from our perspective, but even in such switched around context you can easily adjust this statement.
Young Ford pulled out that journal from HIS right side because he was acting up on his feelings. He was in pain, he was suffering simply for trusting someone, which resulted in getting pathenically used and manipulated, and only hope he had left was to reach out to his brother, whom he openly loved and cared about at some point.
Older Ford reaches out their childhood picture from HIS left side, because believe it or not he's finally rational. He sees the full picture and decides to make the RIGHT decision.
THAT'S the result of making the right choice. The difference in the reaction is everything for me.
(it took him lil over 40 years + to witness and get tortured at the end of the world by one eyed demon...... that man is too much of a stubborn and vindictive hoe.)
This post is getting too long but I wanna address my opinion towards Fords "right" choice/desicion I mentioned above.
Right choice wasn't to go sailing with his brother, but rather than to make up with him.
None of them were fully right and none of them were fully wrong, it's complicated and that's what I adore about their characters.
Ford is flawed in the head, which was supposed to represent his brilliance and superiority
While Stan is flawed in the heart, which was supposed to represent his so on "grumpy" and "unloving" nature for the whole show.
Both of them were hurt, and none of them knew where to properly direct it, which at the end caused the incident with the portal.
Bonus:
Stanley raised his hand to reach out for his bro only AFTER Stanford closed the curtains on him, which means Ford probably continued looking at the whole thing, quietly peeking from his window, not to dare and go against their fathers desicion.
He basically has the image of his strong, firm, and hotheaded brother looking at him full of heartbreak, imprinted in his head, and won't even allow himself to forget it. Even after 10 whole years.
He can't forget, he didn't deserve to forget it.
Guilt does a lot to a person, both of them were guilty, and also both of them were stubborn, which means that none of them will or would ever admit it.
I HAD to get this out of my system even if someone probably said it before me I deeply apologize you had to whitness that
