Blog Entry: Reminiscing on Gravity Falls again
I'm torn between my two beloveds BillFord and BillDip.... They were both my favorite and now The Book of Bill has given a lot of fuel for one but I also have been seeing a bit of a revival in BillDip on Tumblr as well. Nature is finally healing :D Now I'm not sure which one I like more because I loved them both back in the day.
But yeah I feel very nostalgic, BillDip was great and back when the only Internet access I had was my DSi, I would stay up all night reading fanfics. Those were truly the days. Something I noticed is that triangle!Bill is also becoming more popular now when it comes to fan works and that is a MUCH needed improvement in my opinion.
Even as a kid I was really picky about how Bill was portrayed, and skipped fanfics that had him turn into a human. Even more annoying is when "human Bill Cipher" wasn't tagged and I would read halfway through a fic containing triangle Bill only for him to turn into a human and I'd have to drop it, was such a pain. I always loved the triangle way more and it's great that people are finally starting to understand :D
Alright. That's enough from me for now. Hope you enjoyed this little journal, and maybe- just maybe- I will gather the motivation to draw some Gravity Falls again.

I did see a few posts joking about how since Ford and Bill broke up, Bill could have immediately went to Dipper (immediately as in 40 years is nothing to an immortal interdimensional war criminal) and it is really funny to me to think about Dipper growing up to be just like Ford, and Bill attaching himself to him and "looking way too smug about it" as quoted in one of the posts on Tumblr.

On the topic of fanfic, there is one that I read when I was a kid that I still go back and read occasionally. It's not exactly BillDip, but more of a one-sided crush from a very messed up Dipper. The whole fanfic is very dark and edgy and I would say it planted the seeds for me to enjoy similar boy-demon dynamics like Shukaku/Gaara and Porky/Giygas, neither of which i necessarily "ship" however.
The fanfic is called Gold by Slytherintbh (now an orphan account) and if you like the idea of dark Dipper, this is the ultimate dark Dipper fanfic in my opinion. I have never seen it done better than this one. Another (non BillDip) fanfic I recommend is Flat Dreams by Pengychan which serves as a potential origin story for Bill Cipher before The Book of Bill came out. Even though it's entirely debunked now, it is still one of the best Bill-centric fics in my opinion. Also Liam Cipher supremacy.
Alright. That's enough from me for now. Hope you enjoyed this little journal, and maybe- just maybe- I will gather the motivation to draw some Gravity Falls again.
