*The Pines Family (and Bill) are gathered together in the Mystery Shack's living room as Mabel attempts to teach a lesson about ethics using the infamous trolley problem. Bill is fixated on doodling on the paper he's holding*

Mabel: "Bill. You've been quiet. What do you think about this?"

Handyman Bill: "Well, obviously the dilemma is clear: How do you kill all six people?"

*He turns the paper he was drawing on around, so that the Pines can see it properly. It's a vivid depiction of bloodshed and massacre utilizing creative methods that only a psychopath could think of...which he is. Sparkly, red glitter is glued on to color and illustrate the blood rushing from the victims' wounds*

Bill: "Well, I would dangle a sharp blade out of a window to slice the neck of the guy on the other track as we swoosh our five main guys."

*He looks around expectantly only to be met with tired expressions, too used to this kind of mayhem*

Bill: "Oh... I did the thing again, didn't I?"

Mabel: "Yeah. Ten more more, buddy."

*She flips around the blackboard she had borrowed from Ford to use for her lesson to reveal hundreds of "People=Good" messages scribbled on the other side in chalk*

Bill: "People. Good. People... Why is that so hard to remember? "

Okay, I knew I was going to get back round to asking more questions.

To all of the characters, if you had the ability to play any other character in the show, who would you want to play and why? It's similar to my last question, but I guess I just have a theme of questioning.

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Honestly, I don't know if any of the other characters are worthy of being played by me and if I'm worthy of playing them, but I'll still humor you and answer your question. Out of all of them (besides Pacifica, obviously), I would choose Wendy. Surprised? Maybe you are, maybe you aren't. I don't care either way.

The reason I didn't choose Mabel is that while she's my favorite character, I don't think I would be a good fit for her. Yeah, I know. "What? Patricia being honest and modest for once?" Don't get used to it. I still know my greatness and won't tone it down for anyone. Switching back to the subject — I don't radiate any of the positive energy needed to capture her personality. Which is why I believe I would be a better fit for Wendy. She's calm and relaxed, so I wouldn't have to muster up any terribly strong emotions for my performance as her. I could just be...carefree. No overally dramatic acting, no fake persona. Nothing that screams extra required. She can also have a lot of bite and snark from time to time, not caring what those in charge think. She's a rebellious spirit, which could be really fun to play. What I would give to be able to break free and truly be myself for once.

You're welcome,

Patricia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

If I were able to play someone else, I would probably choose... Hmm... Oh! Candy and Grenda! They were super cute and fun in the show, I'd love to be them. Also, Grenda has a lizard! Do you hear me people? A LIZARD!! Aren't they the cutest things? No offense, Waddles, you're still adorable and my favorite animal.

Best wishes,

Mabel <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

That's...actually a really cool question. And, to answer it, a character I would like to play — if I could — out of the entire cast would probably be Stanford. He's the only other character besides Dipper who has a deep interest in the supernatural. He's passionate about it and his character's gimmick revolves around his love for the weird and peculiar. He kinda reminds me of myself in that way. I love horror not only because of how it's dark and eerie, but also because how it delves into different ideas about the paranormal — the strange and mysterious. I love it just like he does.

Sincerely,

Mason

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

You're asking me who I'd rather be if I could be anyone else? Well, I would have to say that, out of everyone, I would wanna be Dipper. He's a neat kid with a good brain and knack for solving mysteries — a fun character to play!

Best regards,

Deon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Huh. That's an interesting question. I like it! Though, it definitely takes some thought and I left most of my brain behind at school. Now, I'm like some mindless, slow zombie. Rawww (or whatever noises zombies typically make; I don't study their text language)! Haha!

Don't worry, though — this zombie is still going to answer your fanmail! Speaking of which, I would wanna be...hmmm...Mabel! Yeah, I'd wanna play her. She seems cool as in she's fun, has a good sense of humor, and owns a pig. You DON'T understand just how much the pig point matters to me.

Wilma

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

That's a seriously good question, dude! I approve and will take my solemn duty to answer it very seriously. (That wasn't too many "seriously"s, was it?) Out of all of the characters from the show, I would want to play Melody. She's extremely sweet and nice and has excellent opinions on the important topic of lunch meat. All very good stuff to me in a person and character.

Cheers,

Alza

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

In all honesty, there is no one who I'd rather be than the fellow I'm already playing. Not to say that none of the other characters are interesting — they all have their own merits — it's just that none of them call out to me like Fiddleford did. It's probably the fact that he reminds me the most of myself out of all of the characters (plays a banjo, is typically disregarded by his peers, and comes from the South) that I feel so comfortable and at home playing him. It's like how you might be drawn to the people you find most relatable — the similarities make you feel like you belong there, that there's nothing wrong about your presence. Even if you don't quite fit in with everyone else, it's okay because you have someone there who's like you. The other characters don't give me that feeling and I don't know if I would click with them as much in terms of acting.

Respectfully,

Hadron

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

I know that you've been waiting for my response to your question and I'll justify the unbelievable amount of time you spent with an answer. What other character would I want to play? That is the question. Would I want to be kind and loving Mabel, anxious and nerdy Dipper, greedy and plotting Stanley, spirited and chill Wendy, some six-fingered nerd, or literally any of the other hundreds of characters? (Seriously, there's a lot.) Well, the answer is simple and quite obvious. I mean, come on. Who could I possibly rather be other than GIFfany? She's a yandre who's willing to kill just to ensure her one love belongs to her and only her, which would be thrilling to play. She's cunning and manipulative, and hides who she truly is behind a mask of a sweet and sensitive digital girlfriend; her persona the dangling lure of an anglerfish. Plus, I just enjoy acting as villains. Hopefully that doesn't say anything about me, haha!

Yours,

William

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Let's see — who would I want to be out of the endless cast of characters? Oh no, it's such a hard decision. I can't decide, I think I'm just going to go with — yeah, I'll quit messing around. I would want to play Tad Strange.

...

What? You want me to explain why? Ugh, people these days. They think they're so entitled to knowing everything. Well, fine. I'll humor you. I chose him because I would get paid a lot of money for doing basically nothing! It would be an easy job with an excellent pay.

Goodbye,

Stan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

If I was granted the virtue of the ability of being able to play any other character, I would — in the end — come to the conclusion of finding Agent Powers to be the most desirable role. The idea of playing the governmental official who has a part in the reveal of the portal is one that brings me utmost delight. However, I still would like to note that I prefer the character I was selected to act as best.

Cordially,

Dr. Ford

Doof: "You see Perry The Platypus, about a few weeks ago I entered The Tumblr Sexyman Showdown. It's a contest for only the sexiest of men-- now now, Perry the Platypus, before you roll your eyes at me, it's not the conventional kind of sexy, no, no! It's the pathetic, the silly, the unconventional! Only for the acquired tastes. Like me~!! So I joined in, and you wouldn't believe it! I plowed through the competition! Bracket after bracket, I dominated the votes. That is, until the final round... when I was put up against Stanley Pines of someplace called 'Gravity Falls'-- for some reason, even though he claimed to come from a place called Gravity Falls and I come from the Tri-State Area, the competition listed me to come from someplace called 'Phineas and Ferb', and I have no idea where that is or who those people are--I was kicked to the curb! He won by a landslide! Well, not literally though, that's a metaphor--that's how Bill Cipher won against Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians, and I KNOW that place doesn't exist--b-but anyway, Stanley won and I only got second. And it doesn't make any sense! Sure, Stanley is similar to what the true Sexyman is, but he's not the greatest! For one thing, he's not that pathetic--jeez, if anyone is the most pathetic here, it's me! He's not that tragic-backstory-able, or anything, he--and worse yet, he's HOT! I mean, he's not that much of an acquired taste! Sure, he's older, but that's it!! Clearly, the people are biased! Which is why I made...THIS!"

Doof: "BEHOLD! THE UNHANDSOME-INATOR!!!!"

Doof: "With this, I can make anyone ugly--so ugly that their ugliness is JUUUST too ugly to be a Tumblr Sexyman! But too handsome to be truly ugly...and I can also tweak it to make myself just a little more handsome, hehe! With this, I will make the ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA Sexyman ugly, and shoot myself so I will be the most acquired-taste-handsome out of all of them, winning the love of all of the TRI-STATE AREA, AND ENACTING MY REVENGE AGAINST THE TUMBLR SEXYMAN CONTEST!!!"

Doof: "--Or wait, come to think of it, this isn't really revenge, I mean, the contest's over and it won't come back until next year so this scheme prooobably should've been postponed until then... not to mention this inator isn't exactly that tweaked, it's a rushed job has some...ahaha...side effects...unless I CRANK UP THE RANGE OF THE INATOR!"

Doof: "Yes, Perry The Platypus, I will become the most tumblr-sexyman handsome by proxy in all of the tri-state area AND GRAVITY FALLS, OREGON!!!"

| Meanwhile In Gravity Falls |

*Stan, reading the paper, suddenly looks up.*

Stan: "Something just happened."

*beat*

Stan: "...Eh. Who cares. Worse has happened in this town. It's probably the heebie jeebies from that German guy from a couple days ago, eugh."

Stan: "Worth it for the prize money, though. I'm still the sexiest man on all of Tumblr! Ahaha!"

*beat*

Stan, still grinning: "...whatever that is."

*A beat. Then the door to the Mystery Shack slams open. It's Ford.*

Ford: "Stanley! I'm back!"

Stanley: "Hey, sixer. Back from another one of your little adventures?"

Ford: "I suppose you could call it that! Ever been to the tri-state area? There are hundreds of anomalies there! Did you know that all the platypuses are teal there?"

Stanley: "Yeah, yeah...well, make sure to tell me later. I'm reading the paper."

Ford: "Well, don't get too absorbed. We're going to Italy tomorrow, remember? We're visiting the Vatican! Lots of great things to explore there! We might even see the pope!"

(SPOILER WARNING for the endings of Little Nightmares || and the Security Breach: Ruin DLC)

If I had a nickel for every time the protagonist of an indie horror game, after getting into the final boss fight from an attempt to save their best friend, was dropped and betrayed by said friend, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Bill: "Make a deal with me, and I'll give you ten bucks~!"

Stan: "Oh, boy! Ten bucks!"

Ford: "No, Stan! Your soul is worth more than ten bucks."

Stan: "Hey, you're right!"

...

Stan: "Make it twenty."

*Bill floats beside Ford, whom is suspended in the air by blue chains, and places his hand on the edge of one of his bricks. He then extends it out from his body and takes out a pile of notecards from within it — as if the brick was merely an open drawer rather an actual part of himself*

Bill: "Now, the revenge monologue I've been plotting for thirty years: 'To my most hated nemesis...' That's you. '...As you know, you kept trapped me within the Nightmare Realm by refusing to open the portal, where I've been biding my time, devising your delicious downfall. In conclusion—'"

*Bill cuts off unexpectedly, squinting his eye down at the cards as he shuffles through them. Ford watches with the most deadpan face*

Bill: "Wait. These are out of order. Hold on. Hold on! Don't roll your eye at me! I'VE BEEN TRAPPED FOR THIRTY YEARS! I'm entitled to a full minute of gloating! I will make you watch as I destroy everything you've ever loved, starting with your precious little town!"

Bill: ...

Ford: ...

Bill: "Ooh, that's good. Got a pen?"

Okay, so, um, the song "Dead Girl Walking (Reprise)" feels a lot like how I think your AU is going to end story wise, and I wanted to go into depth about why. Slight Spoiler Warning for "Heathers the Musical," I guess. I won't talk about its plot, but this song specifically is one of the final ones from it and because of that it touches on some parts of the story, so a few details may be revealed. That aside, I'm going to begin my analysis:

"I wanted someone strong who could protect me."

Megalomaniac Ford's like a god to Simple Bill; one who watches over him and advises him. He's a much more powerful being who can come to Bill's aid, may he ever need it. A potential protector. He's also a muse to the Euclidean triangle: Guiding him, inspiring him, and — in a way — taking care of him by sharing his 'wisdom'.

"I let his anger fester and infect me."

This is going to be where I'll first enter my theory zone. Considering that MM!Ford has, more or less, the same type of childhood as Canon Ford, he most likely also wanted to prove his greatness to the world. Show them all the wonderful things he is capable of doing, how he's going to be the one to change their lives, and how they're going to regret all of the cruel things they said to him growing up once they see him blossom into what he was always meant to be: A renowned genius. He was outcasted by society for being different — for being better, and able to realize and see things others could not ever possibly comprehend.

Upon becoming familiar with Simple Bill, he probably recognizes just how similar their upbringings were. How they were both social rejects born with physical 'defects,' enlightened on a level far above their peers', and capable of making a difference if they seized the opportunity properly. Like Canon Ford did with Dipper for the mentorship (don't read this as me hating on him, please), Megalomaniac Ford most likely ends up projecting on Bill due to these similarities. Why should Bill have to suffocate in mediocrity when he's capable of achieving greatness? Why should he allow himself to be held back by such flat minds, dumbing down the beauty of the stars in his paintings? He should prove them wrong, make a difference!

...And maybe even show Euclydia the stars for real....

His anger and indignation would infect the painter's mind, slowly consuming him within.

"His solution is a lie, no one here deserves to die — except for me and the monster I created!"

So, it was implied in one of your earlier comics that MM!Ford plans on getting Bill to show Euclydia the stars — and more — by saying, "We'll show them," when Bill mentioned that his parents wouldn't understand anything his muse talks about, since they don't even understand the stars. To 'solve' Bill's problem of not being understood by a dimension living in ignorance of things bigger than them, he could show them the stars. It would be the perfect start to liberating their minds! If not for one small thing: Introducing the stars to Euclydia massacred the dimension and it's people, as revealed in TBOB. So, the supposed 'solution' would end up killing them. But, Ford would most likely argue that it would be worth it to enlighten them with the knowledge and bestow intelligence greater than they've known on them. In doing so, he would become a monster. All for his dear painter.

"Heads up, J.D., I'm a dead girl walkin'."

Since this AU is a role reversal, some events are parallel to the original show; meaning that there's a good chance that Simple Bill would confront Ford on his true intentions. And, once he does, he's as good as dead. Canon Ford at least was in a dimension Canon Bill couldn't each, so he couldn't harm the ex-devotee with the full extent of his power. MM!Ford, however, can come and go to Simple Bill as he pleases, so there's no safety net for the Euclidean triangle once he leaves his museum's side. He may as well be a dead triangle walking.

"And there's your final bell (Ah). It's one more dance and then farewell (Ah)."

Again, I feel like Euclydia is going to be endangered and at risk of being destroyed some point towards the end.

"I wish your mom had been a little stronger. I wish your dad were good, I wish grown-ups understood, I wish we met before they convinced you life is war."

This is probably the most self-explanatory, but I'll still delve into it anyways. Caryn — and this isn't me calling her a terrible a mom — didn't stand up for how her boys were treated in any way as far as we could tell on screen. Filbrick was, evidently, a terrible and abusive father. Pressuring Ford to be perfect and only valuing him for his intellectual worth, while tossing Stan aside as a scapegoat. Ford, as stated earlier, was turned into an outsider by society and wasn't fully understood by them. Through experiencing a life as tragic and difficult as this, Ford developed a certain mentality. He decided to live by "survive of the fittest," but in the mental sense. Bill probably wishes that he could've turned back time and stopped him from embracing this way of life.

Anyway, this was my analysis essay. Thank you for allowing me to ramble. I live your AU and hope that you have a good day!

FUCK YESS ive compared simplemaniac with veronica and JD a lot already and i love this one hehe theyre sooo fucked up i love this

This is canon. It happened while they were sailing around the world together. The only person who can dispute this is Alex Hirsch himself.

(For @romanticizing-writing)

Stan: AHHH! I ain’t too worried about it! (Gasping) 😰

Ford: You had that dream again, didn’t you? 😒
