Bill's parents color theory

So, as we know, bill cipher is yellow, but I have a theory that says that his parents were also yellow, but since he doesn't have much memories from them (Not including auditory memories and Traumatic memories), he believes that his parents were red and blue.

for reference; Blue is sadness, Red is Anger.

So, first of all, we can see bill cipher turn red when he's angry. Then, when he's about to be ereased in Stan's head, he turns blue, which could be Fear/Sadness about being killed.

What if bill's most vivid memory of his parents was his trauma of when he destroyed his dimension, his father was angry because of his son's actions and his mother was sad/fearful about the situation of danger she was in and because of that memory, bill only remembers his parents as the color they last turned into before they died?

I don't have the book to check too well so I may be grasping at silly straws, more of hc really

speculating, spoilers

I'm gonna ignore the 2D in 3D world for silly straws to exist to begin with

as flatlanders/exwhylians, being on a flat plane of existence leaves both your surfaces exposed, organs and all, and your eye-mouth is at a corner which is essentially the face

the pupil is limited to what is in front of them and there is no light or shadow, only a haze to tell the distance of a shape is from yourself depending on how clear/blurry they look

Bill is born with the ability to see the Third Dimension, how is this possible? had he known the word "up" since birth, or this is speaking in simple terms until he learned it. he "could see a world of infinite glittering potential", literally stars and space

but a pupil is a point and you can't just see things beyond your reality, unless a line like his slit pupil is a mutation of some sort. for us it would be looking inwards where our brain is, for him he gets to see in front, upwards, & downwards all at the same time no matter which way he turns

TLDR; Bill's slit pupil might be something he's always had and it allowed him to see beyond his realm. it would have allowed him to feel floating in space yet limited to the single plane, but at least he got to see stars

I wonder what he saw when he looked "down"

side note; irregular, trapezoids, rhombuses, scalenes, his hypotenuse.. there's no denying he got fixed but having his longest side be between his legs is canon large hips (this is a joke)

CHAT I THINK I FIGURED OUT BILL.

we know that he destroyed his home planet and whatnot, but i think the reason why he's so stereotypically evil now is because he convinced himself he was evil. it's obvious he has some sort of regret and guilt, because the destruction of his dimension was a traumatic experience for him.

when you type in lies, this appears.

i believe that he's speaking from experience. he convinced himself that he was such a bad person and it became true. he lied to himself until he wasn't lying anymore.

In my psychology class I did a mini analysis on Bill and the various psychological methods one could approach his actions with. Through this I realized that (and yeah this was briefly stated in the Book of Bill) he still is in denial over his world. He’s repressing it, the fact that whenever he tries talking about it he blacks out for 30 seconds is honestly a telltale sign and he himself said his rationalization tactics involve denial. Additionally Bill has a god complex. I know. Shocker. “Senner, this is common knowledge you’re just stating the most obvious” THERES MORE TO IT I SWEAR. He was raised beloved by his community, he could do no wrong. He thought he knew best. So he “liberated” his world he was told not to but he thought he knew better than them. Then Euclidia collapsed on itself and Bill stayed in denial ever since. He thinks himself above others because he refuses to change and grow and accept that he killed his world. He uses this to separate himself from everything he does. He’s accepted that he’s this way and has no desire to change. That’s my take anyway

Okay okay, if the mandibles theory is true then I still want to know how this started. What exactly did he do that led to....eating them?

Gravity falls theory

When I was younger, I entered the gravity falls fandom and I made up some stupid theory and I would like it to be considered.

Something that always bothered me in gravity falls was something near the finale episodes. It is when Bill Cipher used Blenden as a skin suit to trick Mabel into giving him the rift. What bothered me is why Blenden was chosen at all? Granted, his alibis was believable for what Bill had in store, but I didn't really think about that and dived into making my own theory. So brave yourselves for 12 year old me and her theory of this show that I love.

The theory is....

What if Bill and Blenden were secretly partners?

Hear me out and rewind back to "Blendens game", where the theory winds from. The first few scenes show Blenden escaping from prison. The Gaurds mention that no one has ever escaped from it before. In true gravity falls fashion, this is never explained. All we know is that Blenden escaped, and no one ever really brought it up again.

Also it's canon that Bill and Time Baby know each other. This most likely means that Bill has definitely added some trouble with the time police once, though never caught.

I believe that Bill may have made a deal with Blenden to help him escape in return for a favor.

This is also proved in the credits of "the last mablecorn" where Bill is watching ford and Dipped set up the unicorn hair border and mentions that he needs to use one of his puppets from the outside of the mystery shack.

And a line during Bills interrogation with Ford during Weirdmeggedon 2.

"you know the rules cipher! You can't enter my brain unless I shake your hand and let you in!"

That's pretty much all I have, and I believe it's all I need. Keep in mind it's been a while since I watched the show, so let me know if you have any contradicting evidence

I just wanna talk about bill cipher for a minute.

Many people look at Bill Cipher and think "he is a pure evil villian". Well, yes and no. He is evil but is also broken. Let me explain.

From what we know of Bill Ciphers' backkstory. He killed his parents, destroyed the 2d dimension, and wanted to concour the 3d dimension because he hated the 2d dimension. He then went on to wait for years until he had met Ford and struck up a deal with him, then manipulating him into thinking he was a friend, then turned around and made a loop hole in the deal to get his own way.

Then, the events of gravity falls with weirdamegendan played down.

His personality is very intrusive, bold, care free and ofcourse evil in a way. But he also has shown through the show signs that he is not as evil as he seems.

I rewatched gravity falls for the first time in years and noticed things that I didn't notice when I first watched it.

Yes, Bill is evil. very evil, in fact, that he stands out a lot. There's no doubt that he did what he did because he is evil, or had a goal in mind.

But I also think he is a broken character as well. I believe that even though he is evil, he still feels guilt for what he did and is trying to hide it and ignore it like everything else.

Don't believe me?

What do you do when you are copeing with depression and/or guilt?

Party

He surrounds himself in people who are weird to make him feel better. Something he lost when he destroyed the 2d dimension. Partying is a way of distracting yourself from your problems and feelings.

And what comes hand in hand with partying?

Drinking

You can find him drinking in multiple episodes. Most specifically, this purple like liquid in a fancy cup, much like something you would get at a fancy bar. Drinking is something that is also a way of copeing

And another that is a way of copeing (in which this one is something you should NEVER do)

Self harm

He may think pain is hilarious. But why do you think he would think that? He gets a good laugh out of it because something funny distracts him from thinking about something he doesn't want to think about. A lot of people will self-harm (if you self-harm, please talk to someone for your safety) or do stupid stuff to make them laugh so they don't think about something. This frankly is a combination of both.

Ok I'm gonna let you sit with this information now
