#(Yes he'd planned on killing Mabel as a last resort to get Ford to talk but that was just that; a last resort)

Also speaking of the clones, I think I finally found something Bill and Dip have in common between only just the two of them and no other Pines; both had no qualms about using Dipper-shaped beings to accomplish their goals before disposing of them/planning to dispose of them in admittedly pretty cruel ways.

Of course, Dipper melting his clones was a complete and total accident, but they were still sentient enough to count as deaths. Plus he was still totally fine with making them to help accomplish his goals, and Tyrone outright implied that original Dipper could always just melt him with water if he retaliated, so it's not like that was just a last resort idea.

#Hayley Speaks #Yes obviously what Bill planned to do was WAY WORSE #There's a huge difference between like...killing your own clone and possessing someone else's body with the plans to discard it later #But also like...those clones were alive and sentient #They were Dipper but also still PEOPLE #I'm just saying Dipper canonically has a body count even if those bodies are technically his #Not shaming him for it; that rules #Just something fun to think about #Plus I am desperate for similarities between him and Bill that don't overlap with other Pines #IDK I'm plotting out ideas for a future chapter in Triangulum and I like remembering how Dipper like...did this #Also something something deleted Dippy Fresh scene #Also ALSO on Bill's end; Dipper was like...the ONLY Pines member he was totally fine with killing without a second thought #Ford was his bestie worstie; he trapped Mabel in a bubble; and Stan was just nonexistent to him until the finale #I'm just saying #(Yes he'd planned on killing Mabel as a last resort to get Ford to talk but that was just that; a last resort)
