Man Something About Bill Being Associated With Fire That Feels Haunting. Like There Was Fire When His

neutral run

"We're collecting our kids in bags! In bags!" "We're finding body parts that we don't know who it belongs to"

A massacre after another, and the world is silent. This has to stop.

My brain provided me with

"Fordsy was a pain in the backside even when I didn't have one."

I like the idea of Bill horrendously mishmashing flatland and Gravity Falls sayings.

(Also I like to headcanon that the Bill code we see in the Journal is plain Flatlandese script and Bill got such a chicken scratch handwriting he's automatically a doctor)

I've got a line coming up like "Would you stop walking around at night without turning the light on? It freaks everyone out." "And do you also want me to start doing a peace cry so I can't sneak up and stab you in the back too??" so Bill sprinkling in some Flatlandisms is a go.

Since the code in the Journal would be impossible to write/read in Flatland and since we also see variations on it being used by Ford and being used by aliens in Lost Legends, I assume that it's a common multiversal alphabet, or at least is commonly used in the Nightmare Realm.

For any writing system to be useful in Flatland it would have to visually present as a straight line, since that's all they can see at a time—so I headcanon their native writing system looks kinda like Morse code written out, all dots and dashes. My version of it also uses two different colors/tones, to introduce another element besides just dots & dashes to differentiate each letter.

The somewhat tragic upshot of this is that by headcanoning "no, that code ISN'T Bill's native writing system," it means we've seen him using multiple different writing systems & ciphers but we've never once seen him share anything about his own language. And that's sad! 🎉✨

Bill Cipher is such a great villain because he’s the most horrifying, amoral sadistic chaos being in the multiverse but he looks like this.

He’s got a jaunty little hat and a sharp bowtie and baby hands and cute eyelashes and he’s a little guy c’mon it’s his birthday!
