so, i did some thinking last night about bill (because i cant fucking get that little geometric prick outta my mind, why else?) and had a thought about why he was able to see in the third dimension in the first place, and it has a bit to do with the fact that hes scared of 3d glasses
so, first off, what colors are 3d glasses? well, theres two kinds. theres the really good quality ones, and the cheap paper ones. think the kind of 3d glasses you might get when, say, riding star tours at disneyland. they look black, right? but often, your mind goes to the original design of these spectacular specs, the little paper disposable ones that are more likely to give you a paper cut on the bridge on your nose than help you see in 3d.
lets talk more about those ones. what colors are the lenses? red and blue. one red one and one blue one. one red lens. one blue lens.
and what have we learned about bills parents? one was red. one was blue.
you see what im getting at here? bills ability to see in the third dimension is because of the colors of his parents. his parents are the same colors that we use to make movies look 3d. thats what made him so different.
which then raises the question of: were there others? others who could see what he can? others who were terrified by it, who wanted to stop seeing it? others who wanted to be normal?
maybe thats why bill was shunned the way he was. because unlike others in the past, he wanted to see the stars. he wanted to be different. but he also wanted others to not shun him for being different. he wanted to be different and still be loved. he wanted to show them what was so amazing that he had to stay different.
its why the doctors already had a working treatment for bills "condition". because theyd seen this before. the only reason it wasnt working was because bill was actively trying to fight it.
bill wasnt shunned because he was strange and different. he was shunned because he wanted to be strange and different.
and thats why hes scared of 3d glasses. because they make him think of himself.
