Ages ago I came across a timeline someone made and then was never able to find it again. So I finally sat down and put together my own!
Text version under the cut
July 4th, 1981* – Ford meets the Muse
* Journal 3 simultaneously states it’s been 2 years since Ford met Bill, but also says on a timeline that he met Bill in 1981. This is a direct contradiction, as Journal 3 is written primarily in 1982 which means he would have met Bill in 1980 by that logic.
It’s up to you which statement you hold your belief in
Within 1 year of meeting Bill – Bill alters Ford’s mind to help him work, tells him the future, gives him comebacks to insults, tells him where to find ghosts, shows him Fordtramarine, asks Ford to tattoo “if lost, return to Bill” on himself
June 16th, 1982 – Karaoke night
Any time before July 18th – Bill gives Ford the portal blueprints
July 29th – Fiddleford arrives in Gravity Falls
August - December – Hiking trip to crash site Omega, building of memory gun, the fair, building of the bunker and Shifty incident (in that order)
??? – “Until the end of time” deal is made
“We have nearly completed the portal and will soon be ready to test it, but we have several more long nights before our work will be ready.” (also note: the deal is just an offer to take over ford’s body to finish calculations while he sleeps)
??? – Bill shows Ford the speck while looking for optimal portal test conditions
While either of these events could happen over a broad stretch of time, it seems that there is a long period where portal work is stalled before testing can be done. While the deal is said to be made a few days before the first test, the fact that Ford is shown here seeking optimal testing conditions implies that the portal is ready to go when the speck is shown.
It is equally valid to place the deal sometime in January, but I put it here because between the bunker, seeking out weather conditions for an underground portal, and many other things, there is the sense that Fiddleford is purposefully putting off portal work and buying time.
December – Portal progress stalls, Bill disappears for “weeks”
Late December – Bill returns and he and Ford both accuse each other of cheating
January 18, 1983 – First portal test (grand failure)
January 20* – torture begins
* There seems to be a day or so before Ford properly sees Bill again
Ah, yes, I see you’ve taken notice of the fine knight I keep dangling in a big gilded cage above my evil throne. Quite the pretty little ornament the would be savior makes, wouldn’t you agree~?
What? No, it IS a big cage. That’s- it’s the standard size for a knight’s cage I’m pretty sure. NO I’m not going to invest in 500 square feet of dungeon, it’s ONE knight! I’m pretty sure knights live in hovels in the wild anyways which is basically the same- Look, the cage is quite literally gilded. He loves the cage! He loves obediently preening in the cage! Yeah well, when you capture your own knight you can keep it in whatever size castle you want to, but this one’s mine. Especially since you’re so obviously jealous of me and my cute and awesome knight anyway.
More from my product photoshoot since I had a lot of fun with it! I wanted to take some pictures of a bunch of them outside after the sun went down to showcase the glowing eyes, but it's summer in the PNW so the sun doesn't set until like 9:30pm LOLOL
In honor of the TBOB Anniversary, I'm releasing my glow-in-the-dark Moth Bill pin! I'll be able to ship them out after my PO box is set up, so there might be a small delay.
Happy Book of Billiversary! Wanted to show ya'll this bill moth patch I made hehe (shout out to @mikimuun for moth bill please go look at their comic)
(and heres my shameless Etsy plug if you wanna catch ur self a moth lmao)
Wip of Moth Bill I am thinking of getting. Should I Billify it more? It'll be black-and-white with a yellow eye in middle. Should I make the flames blue?
