Art Is Fun I Think, It’s Nice Having A Reason To Post, You Know?

Bill Cipher, except he genuinely CANT LIE.

Like, at all. Legitimately he is incapable of telling a lie.

Like sure, he can certainly dodge questions, or maybe create a loophole or two- But if you were to ask him a question directly with no way of avoiding it- HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO BE HONEST. And this fudges him over on multiple accounts.

And when he’s trying to dodge questions to avoid giving away his secrets or intentions- I want you to envision the scene from Shrek 3, where Pinocchio is being interrogated by Prince Charming concerning Shreks whereabouts- See here and he’s just RAMBLING-

Now, despite everything, this doesn’t change much. He still has flattery tactics and is careful with his worlds- Despite all his smarts Ford can still be blinded by his own hubris. So the whole portal thing goes down similarly to canon… Untill the portal incident happens.

With Ford stuck in the portal, Bill had no way of rebuilding it seeing that nobody would be willing… Aside from STANLEY PINES who is at a loss at what to do. The perfect willing assistant in rebuilding the portal. And bill wouldn’t have to lie that much cuz their goals really do aline somewhat… So, the demon tries to strike a deal…

This is when shit hits the fan for Bill.

And hey, let’s even go as far as to exaggerate the whole “Must return his half of the deal no matter what” portion of Bill’s deal making abilities. With this in mind, let’s take a look at EX CON STANLEY PINES who can sniff out a bad deal in no time- Due to his years of experience on the streets. And being the con artist that he is, Stanley being confronted by another con artist who can only tell the truth and also is confined to whatever deals they make… Well, this can only go well for him.

So Stanley tricks Bill- As he would in most dimensions if you get my gist. While Bill is offering unlimited knowledge in exchange for Stan’s compliance or something- Stan can easily twist Bills words against themselves and long story short- Bill is now trapped in Stanley’s debt and is confined to… Hmmm…

Let’s say he’s stuck constantly possessing a little magic 8 ball. And whoever shakes him, he’s forced to admit information to. A seriously bad deal on his part, an extremely great one on Stan’s part. So, Bill must help Stan get on with the portal without any sort of escape…

What’s even worse is that as time goes on, sometimes Stan even uses Bill as one of his ATTRACTIONS. (Honestly, Bill is lucky. Stan had been seconds away from binding the demon to a Zoltar machine-)

And time passes just as it would in canon, that is, untill the little pines twins come around to stay for the summer. And while I haven’t thought too hard about what the episodes looks like as I imagine it all doesn’t change too much- However. One thing that inspired this whole thing is how the kids are first introduced to bill- Something like:

Stan: Here kids- Meet Bill. This guy will answer all your pesky little questions.

Dipper: …Grunkle Stan, you named your magic 8 ball Bill?

Stan: Huh? Nah, he was called that when I first got him. Also Bill is just this all-knowing demon thing that I trapped inside of that ball in like… What was it- Was it- 85? Bah whatever-

Dipper: A demon…

Mable: *Eyes sparkling* Can I shake it???

Stan: *Tosses the ball casually* Sure knock yourself out kid.

Mable: Woahhhh…

Dipper: What is that thing… Is that… A triangle?

Stan: Welp. I’ll let you kids have at it- OH YEAH. He can’t lie so there’s that.

Or something like that. Haven’t worked out the kinks yet, but I think in this scenario Stan lets the kids mess around with Bill sometimes in hopes that the knowledge he possesses can help prevent the kids from like- Getting themselves in danger or something. And once the kids realize that they can just twist their words in order to make Bill slip and give helpful information- Well I can only imagine their shithead grins as Bill curses to the heavens. Dipper and Bill will banter a lot, with Bill obviously doing his best to break this pre-pubescent boys self esteem but it only assists in Dippers character development. Meanwhile, Bill and Mable can be lowkey chaotic and he could even respect her antics- If not for her whole “empathy and emotions” thing. (Perhaps a teensy bit of character development in places… But if Bill is a master of anything in any dimension, it is DENIAL-)

I think weirdmaggedon might still happen and there will be this whole rift thing and stuff- it’s still relatively similar. Maybe a different ending? Or another deal? Who knows. But this was just a silly thought I had- I can only imagine the names if I decide to invest time into it.

Magic 8 Bill AU? Or something? I might make some art for it if I’m being completely honest- Just a funny thought yk?

ANOTHER SKETCHBOOK TOUR

(Lots of bad doodles-)

Lots and LOTS gravity falls AU stuff, amongst other things. My 3 Buck Stan AU especially. I always love posting my sketchbooks because even if they’re all just jumbles of sometimes good doodles splattered across a page- It’s fun to show off and document the end of an “era” yk? Hope for those who watch the video enjoy it.

lol

A little bit of everything so far, adventure time phase going strong and the invader zim phase existing in places- Steven universe is around- And at some point my Hilda phase from a while back is rekindled. Lots and lots of reoccurring ocs.

A little late to the party- But I HAD to redraw fishnets Bill from the GF stream- I thought it was a bit more on brand yk? Lolz

Instead of working on my dumb-ah Dandadan elementary AU- I’ve been messing around so in the meantime have some doodles of the goofy goobers lol

For those who don’t know- This AU is of if Momo and Okarun met as little grade schoolers- Except there are still canon supernatural aspects. And a bunch of other stuff but the basic gist of it is just that. Dandadan, except it’s less weird and more wholesome.

“Oh Dear! I’m a 40-something Elementary School Teacher Who Was Isekaied into a Magical World as a Foolish Knights Squire- And Must Keep Him Alive Long Enough to Kill the Demon King!!!!!!”

(A silly little original story I have a-brewin- That is NOT the official title, I just thought it was funny cuz isakai anime’s and mangas always have the longest titles ever that explain the whole plot for no reason.)

Oh look! Drawings!!!

EXPLAINATION:

The basic idea of this story is that this “foolish knight” happens to be a part of a very lofty prophecy- As he is destined to be the one to save his world from the evil demon king. However, the problem is if he lives long enough to do so. As this knight is so prone to trouble, that every moment is a possible death wish. The cosmic overseers of this world are forced to intervene. So, they start to send in folks from other worlds to stand by the knights side in order to keep him from accidentally killing himself- You know, before he can save the world.

The issue is that the people they send in to be this man’s “squires” don’t last very long- Either quite literally quitting the first few days as they can’t stand him, or dying in the process of protecting him. This won’t do, so the overseers are in desperate search of a soul that could handle the chaotic atmosphere that surrounds this knight- Someone with the patience and problem solving ability to balance it all out.

And who better than an elementary first grade teacher, whose entire career is built off of dealing with tiny maniacs?

Enter our main character, who has the patience of a saint and quite possibly the sweetest woman you will ever meet. Obviously exaggerating here, but she teaches first grade and her kids love her.

(Keep in mind, there is romance in this story, between the squire and knight, but it’s like the soft wholesome kind of falling in love you know? It’s been 10 years since the squires late husband died, and it’ll be heavily implied that the foolish knight is actually her late husband reincarnated in a different timeline, But they will never ever know that.)

So begins her adventures with the knight, and it’s very silly. The knight displays himself as cocky and full of himself, but in reality he barely knows what he’s doing half the time. Ever since that prophecy came around, it’s been some big shoes he’s been trying to fill. Meanwhile our mc is having a blast exploring this new world and having a more active role in helping people directly- Even if the Knight almost always takes the credit. (He doesn’t do it to be mean, he just got flaws- And she is perfectly content to let him do so.)

Yadda yadda, their party of 2 will later become a party of 3 when the squire stops the knight from slaying a little kid demon, and she takes the little creature under her wing cuz no kid deserves to be slain. (Oooh plot twist, the demon girl was the demon kings daughter- But it’s chill-) Probably a lot more stuff, but that’s the basic gist of it all. Just a silly Willy idea of mine.

I’ve got a lot of original ideas beyond just my fanart stuff, so yeah enjoy!

Gnome Queen Mable AU except it’s wayyyyy more angsty and morbid than you think it might be… Maybe I like to traumatize my favorite characters cuz it makes them feel more real. Even so- There’s a lot of background information to this AU in particular that I can’t be bothered to explain at the moment lol- Teehee

I noticed a correlation here, and maybe I’m looking too far into it- But listen. In the comics, it’s revealed that Stanley once wanted to become a comic book author, having made what is known as “Lil’ Stanley.” However, as we learn in the comic, his dreams were crushed when his comic was turned away and he gave up on his dream. Now in the present, he sees the comic he once made as a reflection of his own disappointment and shattered dreams- Selling it for 3 bucks on sale. NOW HERES THE THING. In Stanley’s Lowest Moments it’s listed that his dad tried to pawn him off for- How much money? 3 BUCKS. Ima reiterate. Stan sells Lil’ Stanley- The comic that he put his heart and soul into and was seen as unsatisfactory- For 3 bucks. Filbrick Pines tries to pawn Little Stan off as punishment for a bad grade- And by extension his inadequacy- For 3 bucks.

Yeah. This means nothing, but I’m still gonna be sad about it.

I promise I’ll update the comic eventually- I’m procrastinating hardcore let me live my life- Here, have a silly goofy snippet of lil stan making a new friend… Introducing, SHANKLIN 2!!! It’s like Shanklin the first, except this one is an alien so it’s different. Pretty silly.
