"but he's literally just a triangle" "I cant ship him with a triangle" the challenge is part of the fun! Can you or can you not commit to the bit. Make Bill Cipher do something wretchedly mood-killingly in-character in the middle of your toxic yaoi ship fic, and then make them not even hesitate to continue mashing their faces together. Have Ford wax poetic about the goddamn top hat. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who worships the mr peanut triangle like a god. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who is terrified out of their mind of the mr peanut triangle. The contrast between Bill's personality and the way Ford feels about him is an endlessly entertaining juxtaposition, if you dare to sincerely explore it!
also deciding to make stuff that 12 year old me would have wanted to draw
Just finished the book of bill and absolutely loved it ^.^ Missed this bastard <3
Bonus:
the code is: even his lies are lies
Bill talking about Ford and then having to talk about his parents, who he killed, is really insaneee
hi yall sorry ive been MIA I've been super busy with work and my thesis year summer work <33333 im not dead i just wanted to get off most socials so i could focus on that LOL everything was submitted today though so i let myself draw for fun yesterday
anyways guess what my brain has grabbed onto
whatever you do, do not imagine how guilty and sad ford must have felt when he read this page about his best friend knowing that he was responsible for him to end up like this
I'm only asking this because you said you want to draw some Billford and now I'm thinking about it. It seems to me that Bill would bring Ford extremely upsetting presents (like a cat) and Ford (like a cat owner) would be disgusting/horrified, but charmed despite himself. Am I correct? Also, would the same thing happen in reverse
Yeah that's basically where they're at in canon lol. Buuut my goal's to write them struggling & clawing past their toxic history to reach a place where they work.
And when they work, I think usually Bill gives Ford gifts that should horrify him, but that he only finds charming, because these two freaks are on the same wavelength. And same goes in reverse.
(there's another five pages under the cut)
In billford as "toxic exes who get under each other's skin because they know each other so well," having them constantly bickering and getting on each other's nerves works just fine. But when they're actually a couple, I like to see them like each other. Enjoy each other's company and do things for each other that they appreciate.
Even if it's batshit by outsiders' standards, it needs to work for them. Bill knows when Ford would love to be cursed and Ford sees weird gross body parts and knows "Bill would want this."
"gravity falls is a great show!! the book of bill is a great book!!" WRONG. im going insane
The ol ball n' chain! See, you can't spell 'partners' without 'pet' -Bill Cipher probably
no bc ford and bill's falling out is so silly to me because its like. ford's obsession with bill was the closest to "religious" that he's ever tread, and that kind of betrayal was earth shattering and hurt ford in a way he had NEVER been hurt before, causing him to completely mentally and emotionally unravel. meanwhile bill is like "can we talk 🥺" as if he hasn't been using ford for years, and when it became clear ford hated his ass bill got so drunk he forgot his mom was dead. what an INSANE dynamic to establish 8 years after the show ended.
