Actually, this is a little story about what I do in boring lectures...
When I was drawing Shrek, I had to cover my mouth with napkins so as not to laugh.)
Just some doddles with gay geometry, second one is a cut-out from magma doodles with friends, I’m trying to infect them >:]
Flat Dreams took over my life Im gonna go insane
Nora and Bill's human design by @/doodledrawsthings
In the backseat of a taxi, When you told me we were only Two punch-drunk souls all tangled in the wind. And in the backseat when you asked me, "Is the sadness everlasting?" I pulled you close and looked and you and said, "Love, I think it is."

Hello everyone, apologies for the radio silence. In a very tough spot again. Nonetheless, managed to get something done on a whim and wanted to share it :] Hope you're well
For my own safety I can't disclose too much here, but I'm essentially uprooting my entire life again. It's really scary and overwhelming, but things can't continue as they have been. I'm focusing all my energy on ensuring that my sister and I are secure as soon as possible, so expect the inactivity to continue over the next few months.
I'm so grateful to my friends and family for their help. It feels like I've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders every day for the past two years. It's exhausting being so scared all the time. I hope we're able to find stability soon.
Lots of love, hope you like this piece ^^ It turned out...absolutely nothing like it did in my head, but I still rather like it. Big thanks to music for getting me off my ass bwahaha this felt nice to do
Figure this is finished enough to go here! I'm rather fond of it tbh :]
him having nightmares about his parents?
Found this sketch and liked it so I painted it up for you anon! There's a reason he doesn't like to sleep.

Posting here 'cause I like it and it's not AU-complacent. It's literally canon that they both like awful puns and that is so important to me; cringe 2gether <3
Bonus:
This has been the hardest year of my life, but a productive one. 2024 is going to be better. Happy New Year, everybody; apologies if I don't answer my DMs today <:) ❤️🩹

Destined to fall, like all those before him.
I really love Veen with divine motifs <3 Half-inspired by @dimneo1010's really awesome YV design; I think I had something like this sketched up quite a while ago but they definitely put it back in my brain. The look suits him!
Bad art output lately, mix of stress and program issues. This was done in CSP and while it's a fantastic program I like Photoshop more. Can't use it for long periods of time though bc it lags my laptop so much! Blargh, I miss art, specifically painting; ideally this would be painted ;_; Oh well, hope you like it anyway!
First post in a thing my buddy Minty and I are doing! Check out our sideblog if you're interested in more content about gay triangles. Much love!
Starting things off kinda reverse-chronologically here with triangle husbands on their way to work! This is post- marriage arc at the tail end of the timeline.
Y.V. owns the company Big Bizniz Inc. and Bill has gotten the full nepotism treatment with a job as head of sales (manipulating people is right up his alley!). Neither work super hard nor do they need to considering Venuz's near infinite wealth, but sometimes it's nice to play businessmen and show off a little. Well, okay, show off a lot. They're the worst lmao

It's maybe dump buuut any changes on Venuses approach towards Bill after a night-whimper story time?
(Context just in case, I'm a month late lololol)
Not at all, anon! I really like this question actually, and the reason it took me so long to answer is cause I really had to think about it, but I think I've got a good one for ya now.
Some complementary snuggles for ya, possibly a continuation of the last piece? Up to you! Answer's under the cut since it ended up being pretty long.
So, Bill is a pretty inherently childish character. He just wants to break rules and do whatever the hell he wants with no regard for anyone else because he can. Venuz lives with a pretty normal kid (Yung Cuz), and I like to imagine that he raised him himself, so Venuz knows how kids act. I think that Bill dropping his mask and revealing that, essentially, when things went to shit he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "la-la-la" instead of dealing with it like an adult showcased that immaturity of his, and Venuz recognized it.
Now, Venuz's feelings in regards to this depend on your headcanons of his character. Personally I bounce around two different ones: the Nuclear Throne interpretation and the Gun Godz interpretation.*
In NT he's just what we would think of when we think of a god; he's immortal, he's all-powerful, he's always been around and has always been a god. In this case, he can afford to be a careless and trusting guy because he can solve any problem with a thought. This Venuz immediately takes what Bill says at face value and lemme tell ya if he wasn't in love with the guy before this tragic side of him sure did it. Venuz likes when his gold chains are squeaky-clean, not his lovers; I think he adores that Bill's a terrifying disaster. (Not that he doesn't want to help of course; I'm sure the morning after was breakfast in bed and excessive cuddles and kisses)
In GG, Venuz is still a god, but he wasn't always. (I think I unconsciously took a lot of this from this awesome fic so credit where it's due lol) The planet runs on a system where Gun God is a title taken by force, i.e., to become the Gun God you need to kill the Gun God. He has been through the grinder and though he's mellowed out quite a bit after becoming Gun God he has issues really and truly trusting people. This Venuz is more cautious and keeps Bill's history of being a master manipulator in mind, knowing that there is no reason at all that Bill couldn't be putting on an act. That being said, Bill is pretty much harmless as long as Venuz doesn't consciously decide to return his powers to him, so he still tries to comfort him just in case.
Both are pretty great I think, one is lower-stakes and fun while the other has room for more angst and character growth. There is a hole in the GG logic though which is that if Bill got his hands on a gun he could just kill Venuz and become the Gun God, so uh...oops? Idk, this ship is still mostly crack and good fun tbh.
*TL;DR: NT Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "shit. i love him even more now"; GG Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "ok but if he's actually telling the truth then he needs me so"
Thanks for the ask!
Could you show more yungbill stuff please? I just like how it's look in your style
Thanks, anon! My iTunes shuffled to this song while I was biking and I thought it was perfect for them lol. Hope you like!
Changed a few lyrics of course. I WISH the song actually said the singer's partner makes them watch awful LiveLeak footage, now that would be a character worth singing about
Found this weird little comic thing in my files lol, pretty sure it was photographed from an iPad so apologies for the quality (or lack thereof). He's a questionable role model but he means well
Transcription under the cut in case you can't read my horrible awful handwriting (and translation from YVese)

Venuz: holy shit.
Venuz: AY!
Venuz: NO drugs, drugs are bad, ok?
Cuz: but i wanna be as cool as you, V :)
Venuz: FUCK that's so cute
Venuz: when you grown you can be a G, ok Cuz? i got an idea
Cuz: ok
Venuz: man did he just turn himself into a pickle? lmao

Man I think that's the second time that the punchline to one of my drawings was a character watching Pickle Rick. Idk what that says about me as a person (besides the fact that I wanna go back to 2017 [if that ain't a red flag idk what is])
"If he was going to get what he wanted from the Gun God, he would need to turn up the charm, and that would mean staying the night when Venuz asked. Considering his options in his limited state of power, Bill figured that it was either lie there for twelve hours staring at the ceiling or indulge in some shut-eye.
And so, for the first time in eons, the king of nightmares slept."
~~~
Man I just wanted to give context to this piece and wrote a whole drabble fic lmao. TL;DR Bill falls asleep at Venuz's place, has a nightmare and remembers all the events he erased in the fic Flat Dreams (which is totally legendary and you should go read it right now). He is not at all prepared to handle it
I really love this piece and it's deeply personal to me. I've been in an art block and this finally not only restored my confidence in my abilities but served to vent some really, really hard emotions I've been feeling lately after my mother's passing. I hope the heart in it shines through and you enjoy it as much as I do. Much love :) ❤️🧡💛
Version without text/border under the cut
soooo, You said we could ask about immortal doritos duo head-canons. I would adore to hear it out :>
With pleasure!
Venuz's dimension was just another one that Bill wanted to take over in his never-ending quest to sow chaos. In investigating possible ways to gain a physical form in said dimension, Bill had learned about the Gun God. He knew messing with gods could be dangerous but Venuz didn't seem to be particularly wrathful nor particularly, well...smart, and so he quickly made the decision to go searching for him in hopes to manipulate him into granting him a physical form
My current idea for how they actually met is that gods can see into multiple dimensions at once, and because of that he can see Bill as if he were in the third dimension (or "real"). The act of Bill being observed in/alongside the third dimension made him "real" à la quantum mechanics. There are some holes in this logic though so idk it's not final (she said as if it matters literally at all)
YV is a total player and two of his favorite things are triangles and gold so of course he was immediately like "hey 😏" and Bill immediately recognized the opportunity there and latched onto it
Venuz had an idea of who Bill was (he has quite the reputation as the evil maniac who had taken over the Nightmare Realm) but wasn't concerned. What does a god have to worry about a demon that can only dwell in the mindscape, right?
Bill quickly won him over with his charm, mystique and creepy sense of humor and Venuz genuinely loves him but is very much aware that he really can't be trusted with any sort of power. He knows the rules and Bill is pretty much harmless as long as he's around (probably)
While Venuz is confident that he can handle Bill's insanity, Cuz is not and doesn't like Bill at all. Bill is more than aware of this and finds it very amusing bc he's an asshole
Realistically I think Bill probably can't feel any measure of love and is just hanging around 'cause he's having fun but I also fully support the I Can Fix Him interpretation. Whichever you prefer!
Happy Valentine's Day! Have more of the immortal triangle crack ship. I like to think that YV is just a genuinely nice guy to his loved ones and Bill doesn't at all deserve him. I've got a lot of headcanons actually feel free to send me an ask if you wanna know more or have any burning questions ;) ;) ;)
And yes that is the actual surface of Venus. I think it's beautiful and Bill needs to stop drinking so much haterade 🙄
Trying to get back into the swing of things using shitposts again. My tablet pen was broken for like two weeks omg. I'll get something done someday, I'm sure!
(Original under the cut bc it's just such a good image)
More Bill and YV PLEASE I'm obsessed
Always happy to provide, anon! Here are some unseen sketches from The Archives™
“Gay Geometry”, Nov 4th 2021 and Untitled, Oct 5th 2021
This shipping was supposed to be a joke. Emphasis on “supposed to be”
Decided I’m gonna start posting cringe to truly become free; prepare for uncomfortable amounts of physical affection
Gravity Falls meme dump because maybe someone out there shares my questionable sense of humor
I finally read Flat Dreams and I’m still coping
Hey @flynns-hellhole hey @amystarrstuff how you doin :)
Shoutout to my comfort characters for helping me through this wild year!
Ramblings under the cut <3
Please don’t tag with any incestuous ships!
Okay, first things first, apologies for how janky the colored line art is; I don’t do it often but I felt this piece needed some spicing up! This was drawn on my poor neglected iPad (known around the house as “The MaxiPad”) using MediBang, once again not something I do often! The reason I chose to use my iPad is cause I’m going to be getting a display tablet within a few days, gettin’ real tired of the hand/eye disconnect with my Wacom >:\ Oh, and I’ve changed my mind: I like Procreate more than iPad MediBang. It’s a close call but I can just manipulate my layers better in Procreate; couldn’t figure out how to do so in MediBang and I’m pretty savvy with complex art programs!
Now, some words on each of these fellas!
Dipper and Mabel: These two darlings remind me of my brother and I who are super close! They’re insanely cute and help me when I need some innocence in my life. I see myself a lot in both of them, but most people like to compare me to Mabel (my mom’s even started doing it). :D Sweater designs aren’t all that original but hey, cliches are cliches for a reason!
Bill Cipher: A total jerk who’s way too much fun to draw. Sometimes we all need a little chaos!
Yung Venuz and Yung Cuz: My go-to unfunny meme duo. These guys are probably more like favorite characters than comfort characters, I think they’re so much fun and they remind me of long game nights of Nuclear Throne with my little bro!
Stan and Ford: I could actually ramble about how much I love these two forever so I should probably leave it at that tbh. Apologies for more uncreative sweater designs OTL
Cosmo and Wanda: King and queen of my childhood! These two give me warm fuzzy feelings every time I see them, they remind me of a simpler time. <3 I think that having a positive romantic relationship to latch onto has helped me in getting through the separation of my parents, as well. They’re just so cute!
Isaac and Azazel: Little crying children are very fun to draw. Okay, that came out wrong, but you get the point. I started playing the Binding of Isaac in 2015 and ever since then it’s been probably my #1 favorite game, period. These two are my favorites to play as and I doodle them a lot! My headcanons are likely more developed than most of my own characters, oops. REPENTANCE HYPE!!
Mario and Luigi: Okay, the actual kings of my childhood. I’ve recently latched on to the Mario series for one reason or another, I think part of it is nostalgia and part of it is the cheerful aesthetics. Super Mario Galaxy was the childhood favorite, and since then I’m proud to say that I’ve 200%’d it! It helps that their designs are super cute, as well; I totally wanna grab lunch with Mario, he seems like the nicest guy ever. Oh, blame @metrognome129 for Luigi’s sweater btw. If you get it, you get it. :)
Happy holidays to you all, I hope you’re having a swell quarantined Christmas! Hopefully next year we’ll get to run around like crazy again. :D I miss my American friends!
I ship Bill Cipher x Yung Venuz, goodnight
Lyrics from "505" by Arctic Monkeys
