"but he's literally just a triangle" "I cant ship him with a triangle" the challenge is part of the fun! Can you or can you not commit to the bit. Make Bill Cipher do something wretchedly mood-killingly in-character in the middle of your toxic yaoi ship fic, and then make them not even hesitate to continue mashing their faces together. Have Ford wax poetic about the goddamn top hat. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who worships the mr peanut triangle like a god. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who is terrified out of their mind of the mr peanut triangle. The contrast between Bill's personality and the way Ford feels about him is an endlessly entertaining juxtaposition, if you dare to sincerely explore it!

If I knew anything about the general gist of how to make something sound like a scientific paper published in a journal, I'd love to write a story that's told through a series of scientific papers published back and forth between Ford Pines and Professor Membrane that get progressively more and more heated. Ford, of course, is trying to get the scientific community to accept the existence of the paranormal. Prof. Membrane is hell bent on getting this lunatic's ravings not only banned from future publications, but also retroactively removed from all the journals they've been published in so far

Two possibilities come to mind when I think about the concept of bill running around with his baby self: either he somehow accidentally clones himself and the clone process only makes newborns, or the theraprism decides one day "well you're never getting any better. Time to blow up your baby self to stop you from ever even existing!" and Bill stops them, rescues his baby self, and then is on the run with it, all the while going through periods of memory loss and glitching out of reality because the paradox of rescuing his baby self is destabilizing his entire existence.

oh i gotta know the aplatonic odile lore

Here's what it boils down to:

She says this after having spent a long time traveling together with this group. She might be a withdrawn person, but she clearly enjoys spending time with these people and has been on friendly terms with them for a while. It's only the idea of being friends, specifically, that she hesitates to agree with.

Here's a link to the full scene where this dialogue gets said. I very much doubt that aplatonicism was the authorial intent here, although the game has good aspec representation in other areas. Odile's in-game explanation for not seeing them as friends is that she's so much older than everyone else, but I'm choosing to interpret that as an inaccurate best guess.

My take on what Bill's human form would be if he needed to exist in one around Ford for whatever reason: rummages through all the people Ford has ever felt attracted to (whether aesthetically or otherwise) and makes his form look Exactly like one of those people, or an amalgamation of all of those people.

you ever think about how bill is who the pines could have been if they didn't have any kind of support from anyone in their lives

You there. Are you headcanoning that Ford has NPD because you're the most based person on earth, or because you conflate having a mental illness with being an asshole. Answer quickly
