Itās my birthday, dear readers!!
See you all soon š
First of all, there is an update coming this Sunday for A Human Condition!! I think youāre all going to enjoy it! Itās been a long time coming and Iām excited to roll it out!
Secondly, though this is not strictly Gravity Falls fanfic news, I recently went to help my mum go through her bookshelf and HOO BOY! Did I learn ALOT!
My mother, gentlefolk, the original fanfic girlie, has totaled out with 425 romance books, 45 of which are exclusively time travel tropes, 34 are thruples, 27 are gay/lesbian and an INCREDIBLY SURPRISING 64 of them are supernatural romance featuring either a vampire, werewolf, sea monster, demon, demigod, or shapeshifter.
She has also informed me these are just āthe best onesā the others she donated to the library and gave away at book swaps back in the day.
Pic of said books below for reference:
Sheās insane and I love her š„°. Sheās the one who turned me into a reader in the first place and inspires me to write everyday.
This has been a brief mother appreciation post.
See you all on Sunday. Your patience has been appreciated! š„³

I WAS GOING THROUGH SM BUT HERE THEY ARE !!! Took so long hope you all like them though !!!
This took me a while !!! And I can talk about the Bill vs Billy whole thing now š
Basically, how I read a Human Condition, itās practically this whole dichotomy of Bill vs Billy and no one is aware of it. Believing Bill can change is an act of believing Billy is there, believing Bill canāt change means Billy is dead.
Billy is the root of Billās empathy and change, or what Bill would call, the root of his weakness. Bill considers Billy weak and deadweight, something worth forgetting. In the first lines, we ever read from Billy in A Human Condition is, āJust fit inā.
In the beginning of the Billy storyline, he himself in a major contradiction to Billās own beliefs and self-worth. Billy is what everyone hopes to achieve in the end, but Billy died the day Bill destroyed their dimension⦠right? Yes and no šŗ
The remnants live on and begin to crack through ways that Bill has taken notice of, especially when heās with Mabel. Itās moments where he spends time with Mabel, I picture the hostile face shifting to a more softer and rounder face. Mabel brings out the best in him. Unknowingly the reason Billy returns. It isnāt just Mabel that brings the Billy side out. It could be objects of interest or of fear and even guilt. Objects of interest could be the silly straw or the spaghetti scene from the recent chapter. The fear and guilt of Billy is brought out by Ford when he chokes him out or when Bill wanders into the mind space Ford had locked up.
I have more to say about Billy, but man I gotta talk about Bill because I got so much to say about him.
Bill is a cheat, liar, and other say, a monster through and through. But Bill is simply a manifestation of survival and going against all of that he knew. The line in chapter 27, āYes. Iām completely cured. My irregularity will not affect my ability to fit in, your excellence.ā This is a lie that Bill said, this was an act of wanting to survive and protecting himself. This is also the point in the Billy storyline that Billy starts to identify himself with Bill and this is the same chapter where his mother and father starts to call him, Bill, as well.
This is the plantings seeds of Bill, that continue to thrive even after failing the very thing he was manifested for. He allowed not just himself but Billy to die. Itās only now they have another chance, but Bill believes heās the sole reason why they had survived for so long before. Billy is weak and can only bring in danger. This pathetic, weak, piece of him is holding him back, and yet it is something worth protecting just to survive.
We see Bill truest form through lines like, āBut Bill wasnāt weak. He was strong and he was smarter than all of them. They didnāt see it yet, but he could prove it! He only needed time. He wouldnāt be a burden, he would be a credit to all triangles, like his parents had said. He was different than other irregulars. He was better.ā
But the next line is, āBecause Bill was weak in the eyes of Euclydia. He was a freak, an irregular. He was made wrong. And yet. Bill wanted to live.ā
Bill is a manifestation of wanting to survive and not letting anyone in. Even in this weak human form, that motivation drives home. He is protecting not himself but Billy as well.
I imagine if you were to enter Billās mind, it would be this split down the middle where Bill and Billy are seprated, but both of them have a piece of each other. Bill with a younger and triangle Billy, while good old human Billy is trapped with a more familiar triangle Bill.
Hereās pictures without the word š¼
Thatās how read Bill and Billyās storyline and interpreted it. The drawings showcase them and in their own spaces. I like to think Bill is in the darkest part and only he and Billy illuminate the space. I gave him crazy long hair that would be everywhere since he is everywhere and because having long hair is great, but such a pain to try and maintain and take care of.
Billy looks the most like Billās human form, since he practically accepted this and the only artical of clothing heās wearing is the sweater Mabel has gifted them. Heās in the brighter and hopeful side since he holds all the good parts. Heās just trapped with a piece of Bill, still trying to guard him.
Canāt wait to see what A Human Condition has in store and Iāll probably continus on with this theory/headcanon š I actually have some headcanons about Bill and Billy, but idk if anyone wants to hear allat š
@sapphosscribe AGAIN, youāre such a talented writer! Got me thinking and all š canāt wait to see what you have been cooking up š¼
