out flew the web and floated wide // the mirror cracked from side to side

ever since i saw @ancharan's art with ford weaving i've been thinking about Ford At The Loom, more specifically tennyson's the lady of shalott. like. something about. wasn't ford weaving (hunting cryptids in gravity falls) & feeling Vaguely Dissatisfied with it until he saw lancelot (bill)?? & then The Curse Was Upon Him & his entire life became Destined to be all about bill forever & ever until the end of time, but to bill he wasn't half as significant (in the beginning anyway).

i was thinking about paintings of the lady of shalott & wanted show the moment at which the mirror cracks. i wanted to do a billford version of this painting

which is in itself a 1960s reimagining of this one by waterhouse

i was thinking about ford tangled in bill, in his Destiny, as the lady is tangled in her loom - a moment of shattering realisation, of looking directly into a bright golden sun & knowing yourself forever changed. ∆

icarus returning to the arms of the sun, my second piece for until the end of time

This piece was the first thing I drew for the zine, and I struggled with it for a long time! I really wanted to show a scene full of atmosphere, where Ford, having reached old age, finds Bill waiting for him after death. In this blissful scenario every moment of hate and bitterness fades away – they have found a true ‘soul’s home’ with one another. For the colours, I was inspired by the romantic, watercolour-like endings of early Disney films, particularly Snow White and Fantasia.

i'm vee and i've had this blog since 2021 :) here's my stuff and things!!

download it here

i'm in my 30s & my pronouns are fae/faer. i'm an old-fashioned bill kin, always happy to answer questions about that! i have a background in gothic lit, so i tend to approach my ships with that lens. all ships are fine by me, but it's primarily billford & fiddauthor on here.

i'm the creator of until the end of time - a billford zine, which was published in august 2024. it was not only the first billford zine to feature solely triangle bill, but the first released during the billford renaissance after the book of bill came out. i was deeply honoured to work with everyone on it. in the spirit of fanzines throughout history, i wanted it to be accessible to as many people as would want to read it, so it's a digital zine that's free to download forever.

other than the zine, i'm most well known for portal trio au. in 2021 it was a case of me creating what i wanted to see, which was bill/fidds/ford as an ot3. nowadays i think this ship is tagged 'billfiddlesford' or similar, but when i first started creating for it, i was, to my knowledge, the only person doing so beyond a throwaway gag. my ongoing longfic, so far from summer, tells the story of the trio reuniting several years after canon. my oneshot, the ol' three-legged waltz also takes place within this au and recounts the first time bill and ford formed ciphord in the 80s.
