Not a question, but when i first tried following you on tumblr, I followed this account and it solely posted about star trek and i was really confuse š but like it had your name and stated being an ao3 author so i thought nothing of it until i decided to check again š that acc was in fact not the right one
That legitimately made me laugh out loud šš While I do enjoy Star Trek, yeah that was not me. Iām going to have to investigate this now. In the words of Mabel āyouāve got me all curious-yā
Hello my lovelies!

@sapphosscribe
GUYS GUYS GUYS!! @orpheuswasmineās posters are done and they are magnificent!! Thereās also a great character analysis to go with it!! Ahhhhh!!! šš
Expect an update tomorrow. I know youāve all been patiently waiting šš„°
I WAS GOING THROUGH SM BUT HERE THEY ARE !!! Took so long hope you all like them though !!!
This took me a while !!! And I can talk about the Bill vs Billy whole thing now š
Basically, how I read a Human Condition, itās practically this whole dichotomy of Bill vs Billy and no one is aware of it. Believing Bill can change is an act of believing Billy is there, believing Bill canāt change means Billy is dead.
Billy is the root of Billās empathy and change, or what Bill would call, the root of his weakness. Bill considers Billy weak and deadweight, something worth forgetting. In the first lines, we ever read from Billy in A Human Condition is, āJust fit inā.
In the beginning of the Billy storyline, he himself in a major contradiction to Billās own beliefs and self-worth. Billy is what everyone hopes to achieve in the end, but Billy died the day Bill destroyed their dimension⦠right? Yes and no šŗ
The remnants live on and begin to crack through ways that Bill has taken notice of, especially when heās with Mabel. Itās moments where he spends time with Mabel, I picture the hostile face shifting to a more softer and rounder face. Mabel brings out the best in him. Unknowingly the reason Billy returns. It isnāt just Mabel that brings the Billy side out. It could be objects of interest or of fear and even guilt. Objects of interest could be the silly straw or the spaghetti scene from the recent chapter. The fear and guilt of Billy is brought out by Ford when he chokes him out or when Bill wanders into the mind space Ford had locked up.
I have more to say about Billy, but man I gotta talk about Bill because I got so much to say about him.
Bill is a cheat, liar, and other say, a monster through and through. But Bill is simply a manifestation of survival and going against all of that he knew. The line in chapter 27, āYes. Iām completely cured. My irregularity will not affect my ability to fit in, your excellence.ā This is a lie that Bill said, this was an act of wanting to survive and protecting himself. This is also the point in the Billy storyline that Billy starts to identify himself with Bill and this is the same chapter where his mother and father starts to call him, Bill, as well.
This is the plantings seeds of Bill, that continue to thrive even after failing the very thing he was manifested for. He allowed not just himself but Billy to die. Itās only now they have another chance, but Bill believes heās the sole reason why they had survived for so long before. Billy is weak and can only bring in danger. This pathetic, weak, piece of him is holding him back, and yet it is something worth protecting just to survive.
We see Bill truest form through lines like, āBut Bill wasnāt weak. He was strong and he was smarter than all of them. They didnāt see it yet, but he could prove it! He only needed time. He wouldnāt be a burden, he would be a credit to all triangles, like his parents had said. He was different than other irregulars. He was better.ā
But the next line is, āBecause Bill was weak in the eyes of Euclydia. He was a freak, an irregular. He was made wrong. And yet. Bill wanted to live.ā
Bill is a manifestation of wanting to survive and not letting anyone in. Even in this weak human form, that motivation drives home. He is protecting not himself but Billy as well.
I imagine if you were to enter Billās mind, it would be this split down the middle where Bill and Billy are seprated, but both of them have a piece of each other. Bill with a younger and triangle Billy, while good old human Billy is trapped with a more familiar triangle Bill.
Hereās pictures without the word š¼
Thatās how read Bill and Billyās storyline and interpreted it. The drawings showcase them and in their own spaces. I like to think Bill is in the darkest part and only he and Billy illuminate the space. I gave him crazy long hair that would be everywhere since he is everywhere and because having long hair is great, but such a pain to try and maintain and take care of.
Billy looks the most like Billās human form, since he practically accepted this and the only artical of clothing heās wearing is the sweater Mabel has gifted them. Heās in the brighter and hopeful side since he holds all the good parts. Heās just trapped with a piece of Bill, still trying to guard him.
Canāt wait to see what A Human Condition has in store and Iāll probably continus on with this theory/headcanon š I actually have some headcanons about Bill and Billy, but idk if anyone wants to hear allat š
@sapphosscribe AGAIN, youāre such a talented writer! Got me thinking and all š canāt wait to see what you have been cooking up š¼
A-X-O-L-O-T-L

The time has come!
Enjoy your regular Sunday update! š©·š©µ
Not related to the latest chapter, but everytime I see Bill being ignored or mistreated in this fanfic (deserved, but damn) I just want to plug my eyes out like this is too much man. Honestly how the hell this two (Ford and Bill) are even getting together in the end? At this rate one of them is offing the other, I'm pretty much convinced
Not to worry, dear reader, thereās a plan in the works š Some larger plot points are slowly shifting into place.
Summerween is comingā¦

Hey everyone! Come check out some of @orpheuswasmine fanart! 𤩠Theyāve done a great job with all the costumes leading up to summerween!
A human condition fanart dump š¼ I wasnāt going to render but I emded up loving the sketch of Bill in Fordās outfit so I chose happiness š„¹
I was on a PLANE rendering him, and when I tell you my ears have not been free of the aftermath š this might be Billās karmic justice against me
Always on about my love for long hair yet I still struggle to draw it š I have a lot of concept ideas for environments in mind like Billās and Billyās headspace. Left brain Right Brain at itās finest !!!
Of course !!! I had to draw the twins !!! My sibling had looked at my collection of A Human Condition fanart and started DRAGGING ME for completely blocking out Dippers face in my comic canvas š He clocked me, by pointing out the obvious that I didnāt want to draw another face šæ obviously came to redeem myself I do not like Fordās face once so ever, so Iāll probably have to make a more updated face model chart for Ford and Stan since they are twins š
I want to draw the enviorment headspace between Bill and Billy now as a warmupš¼ and maybe get a headstart on the grunkles š„š„š„ but for that eviorment concelt to work, I might need to rewatch a movie I mentioned before šŗ So with that, I leave with one of my MANY favorite quotes from The Last Unicorn that fits Bill a little too well:
āDo you hear me? You lost her! You trapped her in a human body! Sheāll go mad!ā
This isnāt my ultimate favorite quote, itās what Almathea says when she wakes up after what Molly just said š„¹ But Iām begging everyone to gp watch the Last Unicorn if you havenāy sern it !!! Itās free on YouTube i always start crying after finishing it
@sapphosscribe i might dm you again to show the concept of environments, but I am currently in a whole other country at a party so itāll probably take a while šš ENJOY THE SNACKS I HAVE PROVIDED
She/her. (25) A voracious reader and writer. Iām posting updates for my stories on here. Find me on Ao3!https://archiveofourown.org/users/SapphosScribe
