Papaya, how can I be cured of my crushing need for romantic love? Is it because I’ve never had it? (My bad for sounding so emo I’m going through it rn thank you for your time)

you don't have to be cured of the need per se. fill the time with becoming yourself. the love will come as it always does. you're going to have to do all the other things you've been putting off. learning, creating, talking, feeling, whatever it is for you, you start now. that itch in your heart, go find ways to scratch it now. with your own agency.

when the love arrives you don't want to be in a place where it consumes you. learn from me. way long ago i was aching for it too. when it arrived i wanted to keep it so bad. that intense desire backfired because i had not built myself up yet. i had been putting off the things i wanted from myself. perspectives of myself were missing.

(the funny thing is, taking ownership of your agency is often the thing that brings opportunities for love. don't neglect becoming. if youre like me, doing your thing can suck because the proof of love comes as a process and not as a product. being with another person is always a process and never a product)

They released a Word Search for The Book Of Bill….and I have thoughts.

Thank you to the wonderful @trickengf for bringing this to our attention over on Twitter/X.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT!

These keywords are…intriguing, to say the least. They seem rather broad, and give the impression of being either chapter titles, or general topics that will be covered in the book.

Right. Time for some speculation:

Global Domination - I think we were all expecting this one, since there was an overt reference to the book containing a ‘key to overthrowing the world (laid out in a handy step-by-step guide’ in its description.

Possession - will we be given insight into how possession works/the ‘mechanics’ surrounding it, and how it feels to possess a human body from the perspective of a being such as Bill? Why he finds physical sensations like pain to be ‘hilarious’, and why ‘body spasms’ are so uncomfortable for him? Maybe he’ll tell us about some of the famous historical figures he enjoyed tormenting, or how ‘itchy’ their meat suits were. 0/10, would not recommend. Will be returning to the store tomorrow. Someone forgot to cut off the tags.

Triangle - triangle anatomy…? A trigonometry lesson? Information surrounding the Second Dimension, perhaps? The book is intended for a ‘mature audience’…Show us what you look like without your exoskeleton, Bill!

Death - either this could mean that Bill will reveal what happened to him after he was ‘erased’ from Stanley’s mind and how he subsequently survived the whole ordeal (including that rather painful-looking punch to the face), or Bill joins the likes of Heidegger and Camus and philosophises for several pages straight. I would personally be happy with either, or both. Although…I still find the idea of the entire book just being some sort of postmortem soul-searching project assigned to him by The Axolotl, and Bill begrudgingly going along with it because it was in the terms of the deal he made to ensure his survival to be absolutely hilarious.

Relationships - …excuse me? Relationships? …With whom, pray tell? Platonic relationships? Romantic relationships? Filial relationships? Bill’s relationship with his family? With The Axolotl, with Time Baby? With Ford?

AXOLOTL - ah, well, there we are. So Bill is most likely going reveal more about his connection with the Big Frills and divulge some interesting bits of lore. …Or not. Does he even know about the ‘sixty degrees that come in threes’ poem?

Demons - interesting. I wonder if there will be a catalogue of the different demons that Bill is aware of/has encountered/is friends with, in a similar fashion to the section in Journal 3 on the categories of ghosts. I also hope that the whole ‘dream demon’ thing will touched upon, since this was an aspect of Bill’s nature that was never really explained in a satisfactory manner, and was arguably even retconned by the time that Weirdmageddon rolled around. Is Bill a ‘dream demon’, or is he a being from the Second Dimension who was somehow rendered both omnipotent and (nigh-)omniscient, and thus merely shares characteristics with true ‘dream demons’, but is not one himself? Neither? Both? And what about the Henchmaniacs? Bill referred to them as ‘demons and nightmares’; are they all different species of demons native to different dimensions across the multiverse, or were they born of the Nightmare Realm and its natural entropy? How is all of this connected to the Mindscape and mortal dreams? So many questions…

Codes - again, will the book include a similar set of pages to the ones that can be found in Ford’s Journal? There are most definitely going to be new ciphers and codes to crack, but for some odd reason, I highly doubt that Bill is going to make it easy for us.

Straws - Silly Straws chapter has been confirmed!!! …In all seriousness, I genuinely have no clue as to what role the illustrious Silly Straw will play in this book. Perhaps there really is going to be an entire section devoted to Bill’s apparent fascination with them, or perhaps there is simply a little throwaway comment tucked in the margins somewhere… I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out when the book is released in *checks calendar* five days.

Orym sees Will.

Will: You're not done

Orym, weeping: I really wish I could stay. [I missed something] Oh, I miss you so bad.

Will: There will be a time. I look forward to it.

Orym: Say hi to Derrig for me. Say hi to Dad.

Will: I will.

He reaches out and embraces Orym. He feels the warmth and light of a connection he has missed for so long

Will: Now, go.

He throws Orym up towards the shaft of light to send him back.

If you look away and just turn your back on those you don’t understand, you’ll regret it someday. Accept what’s happening before your eyes as a fact. That’s a shortcut to becoming an adult

How did you figure out you were pan? Did you have an epiphany? Slowly accepted it? Always knew?

The first step was finding the boys since they brought me to tumblr. Believe it or not, I did not know of the existence of nb people before that. We have a pretty open culture and all that but I genuinely hadn't heard the term or even seen anyone who didn't look binary up to that point. Once I did know of their existence, I realized that nb assigned female at birth caught my attention quite a bit no matter how they dressed or if they were androgynous or not, just their energy really attracted me. So that's when I started questioning, because if I like men (and boy do I like them) and if I like people (in a very different way but still 😍) but I'm not interested in women, what am I?

I kept observing women with more attention but nobody caught my eye until that girl at uni who gave an amazing analysis on a sociology text. I am a sucker for smart people. I asked her how she had come to her conclusions and searched for the words she had used in the text but I didn't find them so she explained it was only what she had understood from it. So I had a moment... And thought she had attractive knees because she was wearing ripped jeans and then I looked at her face and she was not wearing 3 kilos of makeup at 8am like I was which was a bit of a shock. I guess I was expecting to be interested in someone like me if I ever did like a woman.

So by grammatically analyzing the word bisexual, I assumed it excluded nb people from the range of attraction so I settled with the word Pansexual. In truth everytime anyone said anything about the difference about bi and pan people are yelling, apparently it includes everyone same as pan and idk the difference anymore but I like my label so I'll keep it.

So at 31, in sociology class, about 2 minutes after realizing it I texted my 2 guy friends "I'm pan." And they were like "cool."

My final realization is that I have a real appreciation of anyone of any identity who is less gender conforming than the norm and I am less interested in extra manly men than anyone else. (Coul still like one though). I like smart and funny people, basically.

Idk if this helped.

I need OC fodder

So, Project TD is almost ready for a full unveiling, but u have one major issue I need addreeeds, head count. I do not have a big enough character roster for this project to happen.

Here's where you, my awesome watchers come in. I need ideas, old designs, any kind of OC you wouldn't mind being in my story to help full out the main, secondary, and villain casts. They can be and race, gender, or species even, I just need more characters.

Please feel free to submit anything you've got you wanna share, or send me a message. Images would help a lot, and I have a base you can use if you're not all that good at art.

Some warnings though;

-your characters design may be changed to fit the world Project TD is set in

-your character may be a background character and not get the lime light

- you character could get paired with some other character

-your characters may die off/be dead at the start of the story

If I choose your character to be in the main cast, I will message you directly for more details about them so I can try my best to keep them in character, but they may not fit exactly how you envisioned.

Please spread this around so I can get working on laying out everything needed to make Project TD a sucess, any and all help is appreciated.
