I'm hoping TBOB comes out before I get to writing the plot arc where Journal 2 returns and reveals it's alive, because it would be really funny to

Mayhaps you could draw the "this is fine" meme, but with Bill in it?

Love your art style, by the way!

This was actually supposed to be a doodle but it turned out to be a messy full-coloured art instead lmao! I guess this would count as a colouring test since I still dont have a fixed artstyle yet. Thx 4 the req!! :)

Before "The Book of Bill" is released, I wanted to finally put out my thoughts that have been plaguing me for years now.

Bill's repentance from the axolotl, is being sent to "another place, another time."

And his statue is in our world, just as he is in their world. But in the Graphic novel, there are two instances of ciphers that say "Cipher lives." Along with Stan acting very off during the duration of the Cipher Hunt.

Tons of people believe in Same Coin Theory...

But, I have an even crazier theory!

[Preface: We know our universe is "canon" (as Canon as it can get) to the Gravity Falls universe, because at the end of Journal 3, it's basically spelled out to you that once Ford dropped the books into the bottomless pit, they ended up here. Alex and Rob Renzetti both said that the journal is as Canon compliant to the show as it can be (the show being the end all be all of canon.)]

In our world, Stan and Soos don't exist. But we hear them constantly throughout the clues of Cipher Hunt. Stan is even singing "We'll meet again." Which Bill sang in the finale. And the axolotl specifically stated "another place, another time." For Cipher only. Not Stan and Soos as well. So, why do we keep hearing them? Bill is shown multiple times to be perfect at imitating voices. He imitates Soos in Dreamscaperers. It's implied that he imitates Dipper in Sock Opera. Etcetera, etcetera!

What is a bigger penance than introducing yourself to a gigantic platform, as the villain, and even showing that you lost. That you were destroyed. Not by magic, just by a man who cares about his family. And in this new world, that man shares a few things in common with you. Well, the main thing he shares, is the same voice. Stan Pines and Bill Cipher share the same voice. Or more importantly, the same voice actor. Who is also the creator of the hit TV show Gravity Falls.

So, my theory is that Bill Cipher got sent to our dimension. And to not shirk the blame, but to show our world what a monster he is, showed us his downfall as a villain. So yes, in the Cipher Hunt, we hear Stan acting not himself. But here's the thing, that wasn't Stan. It was Alex. Bill was using Alex to create the Cipher Hunt, the literal headstone of Gravity Falls, Bill's final resting place. Bill was imitating Stan and Soos' voices, but not because he was imitating them, he was using Alex's vocal abilities. Who set up the Cipher Hunt? Alex. Who created Gravity Falls? Alex. And what is my damning pieces of evidence? In the Cipher Hunt treasure box, a drawing of Stan, Soos, and McGucket on there, all with their signatures. And when you shined a blacklist on it, Bill was drawn there too, with his signature, saying 'Stay Paranoid.' And on a card, all of the characters, in blacklight, had Bill's eyes. You know the last signature on both drawings? Alex Hirsch. To announce his own Reddit ask me anything, Bill sent out several tweets on Alex's Twitter. And even said he made a deal with Alex at one point.

Throughout the Weirdmageddon trilogy, not only at the end of the credits, the backwards whispering is Bill saying "I'm watching you." It also says instead of created by Alex Hirsch, created by Bill Cipher.

And what is at the end of the TV show, Gravity Falls? A flickering video of Bill's statue, the first clue of the Cipher Hunt. And if you find him and shake his hand, like "Stan" told you to, he might not need penance. He might not need one man's body. He already has a legion of worshippers in this universe that "Alex" helped him obtain. Why not put them to good use?

#yes I know this makes me look like a mad person #which I am #but this theory has been bouncing between my ears for forever now and I had to get it out before TBoB came out #gravity falls #bill cipher #alex hirsch #stan pines #grunkle stan #but Maria! I hear you asking #If Bill is so good at voice manipulation why doesn't he imitate Dipper instead of getting Jason Ritter to voice him? #Because every time Bill tries to imitate Dipper it comes out whiny and sarcastic #just like when he tries to imitate Ford #after all this time and even trying to shirk the blame Bill can't stop being a piece of shit towards Pine Tree and Sixer

my favourite stories - 2/? - The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens

Time, Kate was learning, was like a river. You might put up obstacles, even divert it briefly, but the river had a will of its own. It wanted to flow a certain way. You had to force it to change. You had to be willing to sacrifice.

#my favourite stories #moodboards #the emerald atlas #the books of beginning #tbob #john stephens #mine #aesthetic #children's lit #middle-grade fantasy #timetravelcore #i am inventing that term lmao #anyway everyone go read this series it is top tier greatest ever so emotional and funny and clever and i would die for kate wibberly. anywa

[ID: Digital art of Femi and Irastenys. Femi is a trans woman with  green eyes, medium tan skin and rich red hair that flows in long, thick  waves. She has dots of red henna on her forehead and on the back of her  hand, in the middle. Her lips are painted red, and a red streak runs  down the centre of her chin. There’s another marking under her eye, a  line that runs down from the middle of her eye and terminates in a  hollow circle. She’s wearing a red dress with an opening revealing her  cleavage. Irastenys is a trans man with medium-light tawny skin and long dark  hair. His eyes are closed and he is dressed in black. Femi holds  Irastenys in one arm as he reaches up, her cheek resting on his  forehead. There are tears in her eyes. /End ID]

Chapter One | Femi

The war games between the kingdoms of White and Black are all together an event that feels more like a dream than reality. After nearly three thousand years of tension ranging from bloody, gruesome war to quiet, politically-driven disdain, the idea that the major pieces of each army might come together like this for bloodless games feels to Femi, who is a Black medical Pawn, like some sort of mirage even when this is the third time now that it’s happened. In moments like this it does especially, when warrior Pawns are racing back and forth over the smoothed, packed ground not to do violence upon one another but to compete in sport only. Races and shows of strength, hands touching, eyes met, and very little harm done all around, for days and days… The two kingdoms are separated by encampments each night and their differing holidays during the games, but here on the field, they move as one and are often mixed between Black and White in the allocation of teams. Femi has watched friendships and rivalries form in these games and that too is cause for hope. She is positioned on the side of the field in all of the events because she is technically one of the lowest rung of major Pieces, meant to lead medical Pawns in battle to assist the injured and collect the dead. She's found work in this despite the safety of it comparatively, sprained ankles and bruises and the occasional bloody nose all her responsibility. It is a beautiful, hopeful dream, this. Never before have the circumstances been more perfect for reconciliation between the long warring kingdoms of old.

Hi, I saw you're a fan of The Books of Beginning by John Stephens. I have yet to find much on it, personally, on Tumblr. And Goodreads has 21k ratings for the Emerald Atlas, but it's still not popular and that's sad. I want to talk about the series with people, but no one has heard of it, just about. Which book is your favourite in the trilogy?

Yeah there's very little on tumblr.

My favourite would be The Fire Chronicle. Being an amab person, I relate closest to Michael and his book. Also in terms of the Books, the Chronicle is the Book of Life. I'm all about kindness and living the best life, and the Book of Life feels like that for me. Life is kindness.

I also enjoy the setting as well. Like, it's a magical rainforest trapped under the Antartic ice, which is far better than say, an orphanage, a mountain, the land of the giants, the land of the dead, New York in the 18th century or some island in the Mediterranean.

Plus who wouldn't want a hot dragon / elf gf?
