obsession is not a sickness — it's the only form of life they know

(same anon from before) also i'm not sure if its been asked before but i'm always curious and like asking questions, what drew you to the pairing? was it an episode or part of their dynamic that interested you? i've always been into snarky asshole and his freak of a boyfriend and billdip ticks off some of those boxes for me, among other things.

It is my habit when I have Consumed a Media to check out what fanfiction is available for it.

So when I was watching Gravity Falls, it was to my great surprise that I found that the most popular pairing at the time was with a triangle! And while I was confused, I'm always game to give it a shot! There was a lot of potential in the angry enemies to lovers thing between two smart guys, one of which was angular and Super Weird!

Though at the time, there were also a lot of fics that either had Bill being Not Very Weird, or Way Too Shmoopy-Lovey-Dovey, or - while full-on darkship is a very, very valid route to take - just wasn't my cup of tea. Where was the rivalry? Where was the bickering? I wanted to see them duke it out more equally matched!

Most importantly, I was frustrated with, well. It was pretty hard to find what I thought of as 'Good Bill Characterization'. In fact, I bet that I could write a better Bill Cipher than this!! How hard could it be? Actually, fuck it, I was doing it.

So, spite, mostly.

On writing a (somewhat) in-character Bill

Ever since I started writing Conspiratheory, I’ve been getting messages asking how it’s possible to write a Bill who’s - well, if not in-character, at least somewhat comparable to his canon counterpart. So here’s a (massively belated) explanation of what I do!

Go to the Gravity Falls wikia, head to the episode transcript pages for Dreamscaperers, Sock Opera, The Last Mabelcorn, and Weirdmageddon parts 1, 2 and 3. Read Bill’s lines over and over, until you practically know them by heart. Get a feel for his personality and outlook. Look at the techniques the writers use to shape his character. (This is useful for writing any GF character, not just Bill!)

Bill is a character who defies the norms and expectations of reality, and that’s reflected in his writing. So take common turns of phrase/literary techniques, and twist them. One shortcut I use is to head to http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/, find a random assortment of idioms, and rewrite them to better suit Bill’s character. So one technique you can use is to take what is meant metaphorically, and bring it into literal existence. For instance:

Original idiom: Cute as a button

Example:

“Oh, THAT? That’s simple!” Bill flapped his hand forwards in a trivialising gesture. “Didn’t I already tell you? I LIKE you, kid! I mean, you’re smart, funny AND resourceful! Doesn’t hurt that you’re as cute as a button!” In a burst of blue flame, Bill manifested a metal button, which he then tossed at Dipper. Dipper tried not to wince as he realised his reflection appeared to be screaming and pounding at the gleaming surface.

How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me. It’s like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can’t read just yet.
