SENDING THE OLD YEAR OUT WITH FANART!! @crypt-idkeeper drew Bill from Chapter 21! I continue to be surprised and deeply flattered by how much you guys are enjoying this fic. A new update fast approaches, stay tuned… 😉
this is fanart for the gravity falls fic "a human condition" by @sapphosscribe , specifically chapter 21 when ford and bill make eye contact. this human bill design is not accurate to the fic and is my interpretation of human bill because I struggled to visually depict him in the fic due to his vague depiction of him as well as my own inability visually depicting what writers are depicting, but i think he still slays the fit from the fic either way :3
i didn't know how i felt about the background so you get to options, also the sketch, cause i'm one of those people who hates their art once i add colour.
to @sapphosscribe i wanted to say i absolutely love your fic and thank you for inspiring me to try to capture it in my own work such as this, very intrigued for the next chapter and hope you're doing well.
and to anyone else, i'm really trying to experiment with my and create a defined art style as i hate how fluid it is and how i am unable to lock in and actually create what i want too, so i was wondering if anyone had any advice? i'm really enjoying using this particular brush and how it reminds me of crayons and drawing as a child, i think the messy style is here to stay, but it could still use work, also ignore the hand holding the mics cord, i didn't wanna waste hours on it.
Not to be a critic or anything, buuut I found some typos in AHC. If someone were to, sayyy, write up a document pointing them out as a poorly disguised excuse to reread the whole thing from the beginning, would you be okay with that? Would you *want* the hypothetical document????? If it were to exist?
Umm??? Absolutely, I’d love that!! 🥰 I always try to correct as many typos as I can while editing but, tbh sometimes ya girl is half asleep OR I add in scenes or tweak lines that create mistakes I don’t catch.
I was going to go back once it was finished to comb through and fix as many as I could, but if you’re volunteering I’ll gladly accept your services!
Thanks a bunch! 💖
Despite best efforts, it’s just not ready and I’d rather hold on to it and give you guys something really good that I’m happy with than something blah that I throw out just to have it done.
Patience. The next update is coming this week and it will be a big one. 😉
Kind of out of pocket question, but I had it for weeks in my head.
I know it's too early for this, but I keep seeing the so called "Eventual Smut" tag before reading a chapter. But looking at your version of Bill it's really hard for me to see happening. Not bc I want it that much tbh, but how can a human phobic being that hates every inch of human body (not just his) get suddenly interested in it? Also I know Bill's relationship with his body is less than ideal, but are there no parts at all he likes about it? Like nothing? And also what about Ford? Is there anything in him physically he finds appealing or beautiful?
Or maybe I'm thinking too much into it and the tag is not valid anymore, I guess I'm just curious, but only got around to ask this now
✨ Hey, Hey! ✨
No out of pocket questions here!
The “eventual smut” tag definitely still applies 😉. When we reach that point, I’ll probably be updating tags again. I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants with those so far.
Regarding the rest of your question, I don’t think Bill is ‘human phobic’ so much as he hates being reduced so vastly from the being of pure energy that he was to a mortal shell with constant needs and no magic when he’s been firmly in control of everything around him for millennia. I think he mostly hates how weak and vulnerable that makes him more than anything else. Though he’ll be getting used to being human sooner rather than later.
In terms of sexual attraction (and while tiptoeing around spoilers) I headcanon both Bill and Ford to be somewhere on the sapio/demisexual spectrum in the sense they’re more attracted to intangible qualities in other people.
Bill, the last of his species who’s been roaming the multiverse for thousands of years, I think is most attracted to beings who are outcasts or have some ‘weird’ physical aspect. Also those who are particularly cunning, hedonistic, resourceful, intelligent, or just plain chaotic.
Ford, on the other hand, I think was largely uninterested in sex for most of his early life or saw it as a clinical/biological act that humans did to reproduce. It wasn’t until he developed a strong connection for the first time with Fiddleford that it really clicked for him. There were probably trysts in the thirty years he was in the multiverse with aliens who were intelligent, open minded, or experts in their field with a passion for their work (I think little Ford would have had a huge crush on Spock ☺️) but these wouldn’t last long since he was always on the move.
Bill and Ford’s current and past intimate relationship (in my opinion) is always rooted in their deep (sometimes obsessive) attraction to each other’s personalities and life experiences. Anything physical will always come from that.
To put it metaphorically, it’s not one color in the picture Bill likes, it’s the whole painting. I personally don’t think it would matter to Bill if Ford was an Euclydian, a Klingon, or a Space Whale.
Bill doesn’t love and want Ford because he’s human, he wants him because he’s Ford. And vice versa.
Hope this answered your question! Take care! 🥰❤️

Expect an update to A Human Condition tomorrow, just in time for Halloween!
As promised, a Halloween treat! Enjoy!
NEW FANART HAS DROPPED MY DEARS!! @orpheuswasmine has done a spectacular job! I’m in love with this drawing! Someone go find my socks cause they have been knocked off! 🧦😍☺️
I went back to my roots because I love that fic so much 😭 Honestly, I was originally going to just draw Bill in his star suit fit, but after finishing rewatching Arcane, I took some creative liberty and drew him in that one Jinx scene from season one along with some blatant symbolisms (Im most proud of the chair 🥹)
THATS ALL MAYBE ILL DIGITALIZE IT WHEN I GET THE CHANCE
@sapphosscribe
Fanart by @raviolireptile you guys!! Absolutely love this interpretation of Bill and the work with all the colors and expressions, it’s so fun!! 😆🥰
Fanart of chapter 28 of A Human Condition by @sapphosscribe on Ao3
Absolutely loved this chapter! Reminds me when I had all of the exact perfect cards for the last like 6 rounds of BS and won flawlessly… good times
FANART from @kimpuntoexe!! I love thier interpretation of Bill and Mabel’s mind sharing from Ch. 28 and there’s another art of Bill’s sweater from Mabel! Come have a look!
I love their friendship
I've been really busy these days, so I took my day off to draw this scene from chapter 28 of ahc (as great as always). Honestly, I wasn't convinced by the result of this drawing and thought about scrapping it. But since there wasn't an update last week, I saw it as an opportunity to give it a second look and try to improve it. And...well, here it is <3
Also, these past few days I've been using my free time to reread some of my favorite chapters, and there are a lot of moments from past chapters I want to capture... So expect more fanart from this fic; it's my motivation to finish the weeks.
@sapphosscribe
Already we got some art for the new chapter!! @axoltheartist has captured Bill’s EXPERT coin flip technique 😂😂
