Masterpost for Bill "Goldilocks" Cipher fic

If you're new here, this is one of those fics where Bill comes back in a human body and is imprisoned in the Mystery Shack until the Pines & friends can figure out how to kill him (which they won't, because this is also a "Bill's redeemed through the power of improbable friendship" fic). The "Goldilocks" is because the Pines need a code name other than "Bill Cipher" to call their prisoner, and Bill liked Mabel's suggestion best.

For all my fic, art, doodles, upcoming scene excerpts, and posts about characterization & plot plans, see my #bill goldilocks cipher tag.

For just the fic itself, here are all the current chapters:

Bill returns, in a bedsheet toga.

Bill tries to murder the Stans and Soos (with time travel).

Dipper and Mabel save the day (with time travel).

A tense evening as the Pines prepare to get rid of Bill.

Plot twist: the Pines physically can't get rid of Bill.

The gang goes to a diner at 3 a.m. for hostage negotiations.

"How did Bill get here" flashback; plus, entering his new prison.

Bill gives himself a haircut and depression.

Bill & Ford grudgingly have a sincere conversation and regret it.

The kids decide they won't let Bill ruin their summer. Also: Pacifica!

Mabel gives Bill the most beautiful makeover on Earth. (It's not.)

Pacifica advertises Harry's Hairy Fairy Formula. Bill wants it.

Pacifica refuses to share HHFF; the twins discover its side effects.

Mabel wins Bill's eternal friendship with arts & crafts.

Bill, Ford, and Dipper have nightmares that are Bill's fault.

Ford has a fun day with Mabel but everything goes wrong.

The fun day goes right again thanks to healthy communication.

Mabel's Guide To Local Animals, co-starring Bill Cipher.

Wendy snoops into the weird things happening in the shack.

Wendy meets the weird thing (it's Bill).

Stan & Ford's birthday party! Bill gives evil gifts.

Bill "helps" with Dipper's nightmares; no one can figure his motive.

Bill's ex is back in town and nobody's happy about it.

Everyone's even less happy to learn Bill has a sex life.

Mabel and Bill make friendship bracelets! :)

The Pines take Bill to the mall. He wears terrible things.

Bill breaks Mabel's heart (and panics to fix it).

Bill fast talks his way into going with Wendy to Rainbow Club.

Summerween morning: Bill contacts the Henchmaniacs.

Summerween day: Mabel pries out a bit of Bill's past, with crayons.

Summerween eve: The Trickster's pals visit and Bill terrifies Dipper.

Dipper & Mabel make a poppet to control Bill.

Stan takes Bill to the dentist. In handcuffs.

The dentist (and tooth fairy) attack Bill. They're still handcuffed.

Bill & Stan come to a painful understanding and deal with the fairy.

Anime night; and Mabel makes Bill do community service.

Bill plans escape and runs into Wendy. Elsewhere, Dipper panics.

Bill has the worst and stupidest day of his afterlife.

A cultist finds Bill; Bill tries to re-recruit Ford.

COMING SOON: Gideon broadcasts car commercials and invokes Bill's wrath.

This fic will start crossposting to Ao3 after The Book Of Bill comes out, because I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to make it TBOB-compatible with light edits but won't know til then. Until then, read it here!

FIRST OFFICIAL PREVIEW OF THE BOOK OF BILL

remade an old video of mine! sanji enjoyers come get your juice

I wanna talk about Whole Cake Island too!

So, I’m reading Whole Cake Island right now. And I have THOUGHTS about Sanji and Luffy’s “”””fight””””. And it’s probably nothing anyone hasn’t said before but I’m gonna write it out anyway.

(TL;DR Sanji and Luffy fight and it hurts because they both go for the throat. Also Nami has been through this shit I am surprised she’s putting up with Sanji trying to leave in the slightest.)

So first, yeah, I’m screaming into a pillow because this shit is rough. Let’s get those personal emotions out of the way first. 

Sanji’s whole thing is that he cares and serves, right? His love language is acts of service and that’s primarily shown through feeding people. When we meet the Vinsmokes (I shall not be referring to them as his family) we see pretty quickly that they are the antithesis to everything Sanji is. 

The men are literally said to lack the ability to sympathize or empathize. Not only do we see this is the case, but Reiju says so herself:

They do not value cooking nor food. Judge tells Sanji to never cook again, Niji wastes food.

And, of course, the brothers have no qualms about hitting women. The whole chivalry/won’t hit a women thing is a huge can of worms I don’t feel like unpacking in part because I don’t feel like I could talk about it without discussing women’s power levels and roles in One Piece. And I’ve already digressed too much.

So yeah, the Vinsmokes are the opposite of Sanji and hold none of his values. In fact, they may be why he holds some of his values, because they are as far from the Vinsmoke’s values as possible.

Okay so the two chapters in particular when Luffy and Nami find and confront Sanji!

the new OP ending got me so emotional wtf

We know there's a lot of weird spots that the strawhats have traveled through and I was thinking about what things would be super creepy out on the open water.

And I thought the sea is always moving, right? There's almost always going to be the sound of waves and water, even if it's quiet. There's almost always going to be the sway that comes from being at sea, the smell of salt, the harsh line of the horizon, etc.

But what if there wasn't? What if the water goes silent and the ship goes still? What if the horizon disappears in a night that's too dark to be normal and the moon is the only light but it sits in the sky more like a gaping hole than the usual nighttime companion?

Dark

Quiet

Still

Something where Luffy and Zoro are out on the ship in the middle of the night, the moon too high and too bright but everything much darker than it should be. The water and sky around them is all a wrong sort of black.

Luffy sits ridged on the figurehead and the frown is clear from the lines of his body even though he's facing forward. Zoro standing on the deck right behind him, the muscles of his back drawn tight and he has his hands on his swords. They're both almost swallowed by the dark.

The moonlight cuts across the deck in a harsh, sterile light.

Sanji leans against the mast towards the back, the very edge of his shoes teasing the cut of the moonlight. The red glow of his cigarette lights up his face just enough to see the harsh slant of his brow and the tightness of his jaw. The smoke is white as it leaves him and then gets swallowed by the dark.

Robin off to the side, arms crossed and hip resting against the side of the deck. She looks like stone in the low light, shoulders back and a blank look on her face.

All of them hyper focused on where the horizon should be, but is instead it's just endless, wrong dark.

Everything still and silent. The water doesn't move and there's no breeze.

The world is holding it's breath.

Quiet.

The only sound is their heartbeat in their ears and shallow breathing that's almost soundless. Chopper clings tight to Nami who's pressed side to side with Usopp. Franky and Brook are both on the other side of the room, keeping watch and braving the edges of moonlight that come through the little window. They're motionless, Brook blends into the shadows and leaves only the occasional white bone for the moon to catch. Franky is especially menacing and huge in the near nonexistent light.

They don't go out, terrified of making a noise that would break whatever silence is currently blanketed over them, terrifed that they'd make Luffy and the others lose focus and take their eyes off whatever they're watching or waiting for.

They stay curled up and silent against the wall that separates them from the moon and the night. It's dark inside the cabin but it's softer than whatever is outside. It's almost comforting, like children hoping a blanket keeps away the monsters.

They stay like that all night. When the first splashes of color spill across the hoizon it seems like a blanket has been ripped off. Suddenly air comes easier into their lungs and their muscles relax enough to flex fingers that had been clenched for hours and roll shoulders that had gone tight.

Zoro is back to his normal napping spot of deck, chin already dropping down to his chest and swords laid across his lap.

Luffy is still on the figurehead but he looks like he's humming to himself and looking towards the horizon with ease.

Robin is sitting down on the stairs, tired but relaxed as she leans into the morning breeze.

Sanji is already making his way towards the kitchen with a lazy stroll, the smell of his cigarettes lingers over the ship.

They don't ask.

Chopper scampers over to Zoro and carefully nudges the swords aside enough that he can climb onto his lap. He finally relaxes as Zoro wraps an arm around him, he's in one of the safest places on the ship.

Nami lets Sanji flutter around her longer than normal, sitting beside Robin who also seems content to indulge their cook a little extra today.

Usopp tails Franky, being careful on where he looks even though he knows there's no risk of him seeing anything terrible anymore. Franky asks something and Usopp launches into a story, eyes brightening up and a smile back on his face.

Brook goes to sit near Luffy and starts to play something warm and welcoming to greet the day.

It never happens again, at least not like it had that night.

Sometimes Luffy or Zoro seem to stare off at the horizon with a sharp intensity, but it breaks quickly.

Sometimes Sanji stands on the deck and smokes until there's a pile of ash at his feet, brow furrowed as he looks out over the water until he seems to blink and break himself out of it.

Sometimes Robin sits on the deck and wears the face she make when she's working on a puzzle, going though everything she knows and trying to make everything fit together.

That endless dark and haunting moon never reappear though. The dark only brings stars and the moon glows like a warm candle.

So my 40 year old coworker likes to make a lot of dad jokes and in retaliation he now knows way too much information about One Piece than he ever wanted to I'm sure, but he thinks Brook is funny, so I've started leaving Skull Jokes on his desk. Here are the first three.

So if Zoro defeats Mihawk but Mihawk adopts him right after, who has really won?

One Piece x Studio Ghibli

Happy birthday Usopp!!!

For everyone’s enjoyment, here’s the entire comic; ‘Coloring’

It’s worth noting, Brook probably remembers their faces but, not his own. He didn’t write silly love songs for himself, did he?

The thing I love about Merry's death is that no ammount of time travel fix it's will ever save her, it is inevitable that she deteriorates and breaks, the only way for her to survive is to never set sail to beging with, and that still would only mean she rots at bay in syrup island. There is no world where she does not die, there is no world where she is saved, but there is a world where she is free, and where she sails, and she is happy, it still leads the same place, but it matters

there’s no such thing as personal space on the Sunny
