Words can't describe just how obsessed I am with Mabel and Bill Cipher it's not even funny. The potential friendship. Just thinking about the close friendship they could've had if it weren't for Bill Cipher being so evil is eternally eating me up inside I think about these two bonding everyday and then being there for each other. Oh why oh why did they have to be enemies???? Why did Bill have to be dangerous AAAUUUUGHUHUHHH
ME TOO AUUUGHH. IT CONSUMES MY EVERY WAKING THOUGHT… i honestly feel like in a lot of ways, Bill and Mabel are the good and bad endings for the same type of person. like, Bill is who Mabel might eventually become if she never had Dipper to support her through everything.
i think a lot about how Bill deliberately chose not to put her through the same hell as everyone else during Weirdmageddon. i think he saw her as a kindred spirit at that time. like, i think in his mind the circumstances of him destroying Euclydia were similar to the ones that led Mabel to hand him the rift. fear and desperation and a sense of “well, at least things can’t get worse than this”. and obviously Mabel was tricked in a way that Bill probably wasn’t. and she chose to undo the whole thing when given the opportunity, whereas all Bill ever did from that day on was double down.
Mabel’s obviously a much better person than Bill Cipher. but the main point of the friendship AU, to me, is that as long as you’re still alive, you can choose to change.
