Not sleeping so I can do this- Does this sum up the book well? ((edit)) Wow this video became very popular, I thank you very much for the enthusiasm. And with my minutes of media attention I will only say buy Doritos®
we've all seen trans boy dipper pines but i think more people should consider trans girl mabel. that girl has the most gender euphoria of all time shes over the moon to get to do preteen girl things like having sleepovers with her besties and crushing on boys and covering herself in glitter. also i think it makes dippers manliness crisises 3x funnier if mabel already had a gender revelation years ago and is just chilling. see my vision.
the only thing that matters anymore in this fucked up world is 1920s mtf cowgirl
i love you, 1920s mtf cowgirl

STUFF I'VE GOTTEN BY PUTTING IN RANDOM CODES I KNOW FROM THE BOOK!!!!
(there is also blanchin, bill and axolotl that work)
EDIT!!!!! INSERTING "EVEN HIS LIES ARE LIES" GIVES YOU THIS:
EXTRA EXTRA NOTICE: inserting "well well well being" gives you this:
ANOTHER EDIT!!!! INSERTING "suck it merlin" gives you the following image, i'm about to decode what the message says.
edit: it says "daymare vs nightmare"
EDIT: typing in "just fit in" gives you a weird video with static at the end. I think it's bills voice? he sounds sad.
EDIT: typing in "tantrum" gives you something EXTREMELY interesting!
edit: typing "paper is book skin" gave me skin. i am not joking. it literally just gave me skin in clip studio paint... thanks bill?
edit: typing in "baby bill" gives you this (papa? wait does this mean that it's the men who give birth in bill's dimension or wh- WHAT DOES THIS IMPLY....)
Edit: hi guys. I know about a lot of the other codes. Though there are a few people who have told me ones I don't know in my replies so thanks for that!! (PS: I also wonder what typing in the code on the candle does once the flame has turned blue. Does anything change at all? Could someone check that?)
Also to add on, I've discovered that the word "volume" doesn't give you the big glaring X screen, but it also doesnt seem to do anything either? Either I'm experiencing some sort of glitch or this means something more. Could someone look into this? I'd really appreciate it!
ADDITIONAL EDIT: FORDTRAMARINE WORKS!!!
guys who tf defeated silas birchtree
OKAY SO some people on reddit found that typing in "You can't kill an idea" gives you this:
i swear on god i've inspected this thing countless times.
i've noticed that some of the letters on the bottom have strange inner-outlines. i've tried to find out what it means but i've come at a COMPLETE ROADBLOCK. istg silas birchtree when i FIND YOU
EDIT: also, the name "IOWA 1951" sounds really suspicious. i think it's a location name?
??? searching up stuff on google and i found this. Does this mean anything??? DOES ANYTHING MEAN ANYTHING??? maybe 1951 isn't part of some address but is actually a year where a competition took place?
SHE??? AM I STUPID OR AM I COOKING (honestly really unsure about bringing an actual person into this)
i'm really sceptical on this "miss iowa" beauty pageant stuff actually having something to do with anything in this whole mess, but the way it's phrased in the pamphlet...
"Miss Iowa 1951 (Isn't she gorgeous?)"
the "isn't she gorgeous" makes me feel like it DOES have some sort of correlation with the BEAUTY pageant
i'm about to pull my hair out of my skull
EDIT: i feel like every step i take to crack this stupid code brings me closer to getting SOMETHING but at the same time so much farther. (also i'm about to start rambling so stay with me here. Either i'm gonna sound like a genius {of some degree} or like a blubbering idiot with a cone for a head, also the good-ol' language disability is NOT gonna help with my following explanations here so hang with me now.)
Something i've noticed: Literally everything Silas says about his life makes absolutely zero sense and doesn't add up.
He got facial cancer and got hit by a train, making him unable to perform jitterbugs, at three years old? Was he performing jitterbugs before then?
He says he's from Kansas whilst from what i've researched, the person who "Miss Iowa 1951" is, aka his supposed "wife", has no evidence of ever being in Kansas.
And why does he need 400$ donations? Isn't this dude already a millionaire?
The more i piece together the more i think: "Wait. Since it's clear that ""Honest"" Silas Birchtree, isn't truly honest, it's pretty clear that he IS a corpse currently in possession of Bill Cipher. Could his supposed "Defeat", be a referring to what killed him before possession, or to what defeated his possessed corpse?"
And since his name is "honest" Silas Birchtree, perhaps something in the code "lies" could help? Since lies is the opposite of truth?
kinda getting a few cracks form in my sense of reality but PERHAPS this could lead us somewhere? The fact Bill mentions that "Humans care about anything that makes them feel good" in the "lies" thingy. Perhaps this could have some sort of correlation with Silas's story, because his "story" does end up sounding like the "ideal" life. Being fully healed after serious injuries, winning a million dollars, and getting married to a beauty pageant contestant.
GAAHH nothing i'm saying makes sense! Nothing i'm thinking makes sense! NOTHING ABOUT THIS MAKES SENSE! MAYBE THAT'S WHAT DEFEATED SILAS??? SENSE?? COMPREHENSIBILITY??? I'M LOSING MY MIND
Edit: from this point forward, whenever I hear the word "birch" muttured near me I will get immediate flashbacks to me ferociously gnawing at my keyboard shaking foaming at the mouth
Edit: yknow come to think of it, is Silas birchtree even this guy's name??? Silas means woods/forest... And birchtree sounds like pinetree, but with birch trees. And birch trees have always had a strong link with Bill cipher. Did Bill just possess some random corpse and create a fake name on the spot using terms that were familiar to him???? And then just slapped on a bunch of backstory for this dude in order to advertise his cult or whatever hence why all information we have on this individual makes NO SENSE
Edit: OK so I'm not here to make an update on birchwood sorray but I just wanted to say that a NEW CODE HAS BEEN FOUND!!! (Unsure who found it, if someone tells me their name I'll make sure to credit them)
code: DIONARAP ! The backwards of paranoid!!!
Check it for yourself!!!
EDIT: OKAY SO I'VE NOTICED THAT ON THE DIONARAP CODE THINGY, there are these little 2-letter thingies hidden about. Perhaps if we can find them all it'll lead to another code or secret message?
Currently i've found: OC, OD and ST
(ps: i love the tumblr sexyman diss. GET HIS ASS BILL!!! EXPLODE THAT TWINK!!!!)
(also ps: i really appreciate the help but you guys don't need to tell me about older codes, i know like basically all of them. Heads up on new ones are appreciated though!!!)
ADDITIONAL EDIT:!!! (also realised there's also EHT hidden in the image {it's upside-down}, so i guess it's not always 3 letters? EHT could also just be "THE" backwards)
oh and RIGHT!! THIS GUY!!! If you followed burnside's twitter, you'd notice that the countdown images he used to anticipate the release of the book of bill all had this symbol in it, perhaps we can find out what it means, because i think it leads to something bigger
EDIT: nvm i forgot that it's just the artist's signature nevamind
EDIT: found another! TCE!
here's what we've got currently. (letters in blue are the same as above red, just backwards) Maybe the message is all the letters flipped backwards and put together? The code to get this thing is PARANOID backwards after all!
EDIT: FOUND "NN"! guess you don't really need to flip that one
EDIT!!! JUST FOUND OUT WHAT IT MEANS!!!
"CONNECT THE DOTS"
unfortunately you can't use it as a code on the computer, but does it mean something else?
NEVERMIND!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FLIP IT BACKWARDS AGAIN
NEW CODE!!!!: STOD EHT TCENNOC!!!
FEELING SO SMART RN (edit: apparently some people have found it before me. whoops!)
MOTHERFUCKER SILAS BIRCHTREE I AM APPROACHING YOUR LOCATION FAST
WHEN I GET YOUR FUCKING ASS
THE ANSWER TO WHO DEFEATED SILAS BIRCHTREE IS EMMALINE BUTTERNUBBINS FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH
it just gave me a 98mb file what the fuck
THE FILE CONTAINS FULL IMAGES FROM THE BOOK!!!
also code!! yippee
it means: kook.
oh we already knew that one
ooh this one has bill burning an ace of spades card. wonder if that means anything
EDIT: THIS ISN'T IN THE BOOK. WHAT DOES "NO Y" MEAN?
edit: i forgot to read the last page of the newspaper article whoops
there's a code
translates to: you cant kill an idea
we already know what the code for this gives us
blank wall once again
WAIT IF WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO FIND THE CODE TO THE PAMPHLET THING UNTIL AFTER YOU FIND OUT WHO DEFEATED SILAS THEN DOESN'T THAT MEAN THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE ON IT???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME (ps: no i do not think it's "say baaaa", say baaa isn't on the pamphlet the site gives you, say baaa is from the book.)
edit: forgot to mention this. "dispense my treat" gives you a butt-ton of images containing full pngs from pages of the book. the only full image that had never been in the book is titled "REMEMBER THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE". Which is a direct reference to the end of tbob, where bill is wiping your memory and asks if you remember the "bermuda triangle"
i'm assuming that somehow, there's a code that leads to us finding the full version of the lost page that could contain some text. This i am unsure of, and it appears that i've reached my 30-image only limit on this post. So perhaps i'm going to end this little thing soon or start a new one. I might make a few more edits that contain some text though. Thanks for sticking with me and my ramblings for so long! hahahah
too many ppl who know nothing about Filipino folklore n culture r talking shit about my ate. she’s based off of the manananggal, which you can compare to the European vampire, if that helps you understand it better. although, i’m reluctant to mention that becuz some ppl, who choose to be ignorant, currently hold the view that she’s just an Asian-colored vampire mishmash monster. she is not. other than the fact that she manages to exist at all, here are some details i appreciate about her.
first, she has a face that looks like my family’s. that’s my lola’s nose. that’s my mom’s birthmark. shit, those are my uncle’s cheekbones. the headpiece features jasmine, our national flower. the translucent petals are cool.
second, you can display her in two pieces, split by the torso. its not just a “cheap gimmick” you ignorant pos. at nightfall, the manananggal severs itself in two, leaving behind a vulnerable lower half while its upper half hunts for nourishment - blood, raw hearts, livers, fetuses. the red fringe represents her dangling intestines, hanging loose as she flies after ripping her body apart. the string detail is on the skirt for consistency, but also, intestines are long as fuck? why wouldn’t they also hang from the bottom, assuming they also get split in half.
while we’re on the outfit, the top is an extremely traditional (Spanish colonial, ugh) style in both fabric and shape. i have attire that looks exactly like it, minus the monster high red foil pattern. the tiny, “woven” sleeve cuffs are a nice touch. the earrings and bracelets look to be woven palm too, but aren’t as effective in plastic. the bottom half skirt is quite a bit shorter than is traditional, and the heels higher. it’s a monster high doll.
most accurate would be barefoot, tbh. but you guys would riot, and again, its a doll. actually, the shoes reference a lot from Filipino culture. the heel is a coconut tree overlooking a kubo, a one-room stilt hut built with natural materials such as bamboo and palm, and specifically made to be remade as necessary. the sole is “wooden”, also an accessible material of which some shoes were made with. it is attached by braid to what looks to be a straw strap. also not unusual for a shoe.
her fan and wings feature embroidery, and if you look closely at the latter, you will see a thin and delicate flora design in between the spider web pattern. this is extremely reminiscent of calado, a type of traditional hand embroidery akin to lace that is difficult as fuck. a dying art, btw.
i didn’t wake up looking to ride this hard for a plastic woman lmao. but if you’re gonna come for her, it better be because of the fluorescent green in her colorway and not because you don’t know what you’re talking about. honestly, a lot of Filipinos are just happy to be considered and celebrated. “wins” like this mean everything. maybe it’s not good enough for your collection, but now you know more about my culture than you would’ve gone out of your way to. and that’s good enough for me.
