This hurts so much 😭😭😭😭😭

papa bruno au!!!! iM OBSESSED WITH IT, ALLLL CREDITS GO TO @renrenlady !!!! their ideas are INCREDIBLE!!! and i cannot stop listening to the song “she’ll never know”!!!

for these first two it’s the first time mirabel sees him behind the walls and it’s him fully seeing her grown :’))) i cannot imagine how he would feel

AND THESE!!!! are after the events of the movie!!!! (mirabel still being obviously unaware) and i kinda like the idea of julieta talking to bruno and asking him when he’s gonna tell her :‘))) if EVER

i cannot imagine the pure joy he must’ve felt to be able to hold his daughter again for the first time in a DECADE, even tho she calls him tio,,,it’s okay, she’s still in front of him and he can still tell her how much she means to him

(i like to think he will one day, and mIGHT draw that interaction because i think it would be HEART BREAKING)

but genuinely this au has been tearing my heart apart and the thought of him watching from a distance and the terror he must have felt when she found him behind the walls in this au mustve been TERRIBLE

but again, MAJOR SHOUTOUT TO @renrenlady because their work is incredible and you should most definitely go check out more stuff about this au on their page!!!!

they both lost the kids in the divorce

Why Bill Hates Dipper

Ever since the Book of Bill came out, I've been pondering why Bill seems to love tormenting Dipper.

I don’t doubt Bill Cipher could find amusement in anyone and everyone’s suffering but he seems to take a special interest in hurting the youngest Pines.  This even goes back to their first interaction where Bill blows a hole in Dipper’s chest before Dipper had said a single word to him, as opposed to Mabel whom he ignored despite her attempt to tackle him moments beforehand.

In Sock Opera, Bill repeatedly harms Dipper’s body with forks, drawers, stairs, drowning, and who knows what else off-screen.  And in perhaps the darkest moment of any Gravity Falls media, Bill’s note from Journal 3 boasts about his ‘grand finale’ of killing Dipper, making it look like a suicide, and forcing the poor boy to wander the mindscape forever.  

During Weirdmageddon Bill repeatedly ridicules Dipper after Ford’s capture, teasing him with insults, Ford’s body, and burning his precious journals in front of him before ordering his Henchamniacs to eat him. In Mabel’s Bubble he responds to Dipper’s rejection by turning Fake Wendy into maggots and delivers an ominous warning to an obviously disturbed Dipper. 

This trend of tormenting Dipper has only intensified with the Book of Bill and Thisisnotawebsite.com.  Every mention of Dipper in the book is an insult or mockery, including two pages dedicated to embarrassing moments of his young life.  Meanwhile, on the website he tries to trick Dipper into staring at the sun until the boy goes blind.  

So why does Bill seem to have a special interest in making Dipper Pines miserable?

It could be as simple as the bully picking on the victim.  Maybe Bill thinks Dipper takes himself too seriously and wants to knock him down several pegs.  Or perhaps Bill resents Dipper for being the closest to what he considers Lawful Good among his family, or for trying to be a hero while categorising the town’s weirdness in opposition to Bill’s desire to create chaos and misery, or because he’s the primary antagonist and Dipper is the primary protagonist?

But Bill probably doesn’t hold Dipper in high enough regard for that to be his only reasoning.  In fact, Bill appears to have a very low opinion of Dipper, in comparison to certain other members of the Pines family. 

In both Book of Bill and Dipper and Mabel’s Guide to Mystery and Non-Stop Fun, Bill claims to like Mabel, comparing her free-spiritedness with his desire to spread turmoil. To him, fun and chaos are the same thing and Mabel’s all about having fun and doing whatever she wants, whatever other people think of her.

Ford worshipped Bill for a time, and is the one who summoned him and created the portal.  Feats Bill was so pleased by, that he apparently grew some degree of affection for Ford if the Book of Bill is to be believed; telling him about his past, ‘gifting’ him with dead rats and the like.  Even though Bill answered Ford's attempts to escape him with horrific torture, Bill still offered him the position of Henchmaniac when he achieved physical form, implying he was willing to put their past aside, on his terms.

Bill’s interactions with Stan are limited to entering his mind and the final battle.  Perhaps, as a fellow conman and trickster, it could be argued Bill might approve of Stan’s crimes even if he’s not exactly impressed by them.  But Thisisnotawebsite.com makes it clear that any affinity he may or may not have had for Stan is gone.  Now there’s only bitterness and rage at having been bested by someone he deems a joke.

Sounds familiar. 

Because it was Dipper who brought the others into Stan's mind and taught them how to fight back against Bill.  Dipper found Wendy and Soos, rescued Mabel and got the ball rolling on the resistance movement that led to Bill’s defeat.  In Mabeland especially, Dipper proves his tenacity by being the only one capable of resisting what Bill declares is his most diabolical trap. 

And when Dipper proved he had the strength to refuse his greatest temptation, Bill reacted by turning heaven into hell for a few moments.  Again, a member of the Pines family had rejected his promise of granting their greatest desire.  But this time, it wasn’t the genius Ford who’d rejected him and threatened his plans, it was the meek little boy - the lesser twin in Bill’s eye.  

Dipper isn’t wild like Mabel, brilliant like Ford, or cunning like Stan.  He’s just a kid trying his hardest to do what’s right.  A concept Bill no doubt finds hilarious. 

It’s one thing to be bested by a foe you respect or admire, but it’s quite another to be beaten by someone you consider a joke.  

But he was.  Repeatedly.  First by Dipper and finally by Stan.  

And it probably drives him mad. 

Hunter vs His Brain

Brain: Alright new day! Would you like to be overly anxious? Or too depressed to function?

Hunter: … Are those my only choices?

Brain: ArE tHoSe My OnLy ChOiCeS

Brain: That’s YOU. That’s what YOU sound like

Brain: Screw it, you’re getting both of them

any flower symbolism analysis for thanks to them 👀 i saw at least one person mention a flower that was presses into willows scrapbook but that was it

The flowers in Willow's scrapbook are Asters!

Here are some examples of pressed Asters, for further comparison;

On their own, Asters represent patience, love and wisdom. But Asters, much like roses, have unique meanings based on the color of the flower as well. And Pink Asters specifically signify kindness, sensitivity, and romantic love.

I also noticed that Hunter's pillow has a leaf pattern on it as well, which appear to be ferns;

I was halfway through typing out a breakdown on discord about how ferns symbolize healing and protection, (and, as I have since discovered, can also symbolize dreams/"I dream of you") when no less then four people started screaming about this scene;

soooo, yeah. XD

so ok yeah fine i watched gravity falls again and read the book of bill
