I think the reason it took me so long to come about on Bill/ford even partially was the fact that I like two very specific be explored in their story and that is

1. Humanity and the supernatural (specifically the very far removed supernatural) and how they can affect and change each other

2. Abuse, manipulation, how it manifests and how it changes through the course of an abusive relationship

I think due to TBOB making Bill more sympathetic (which imo makes him all the more terrifying) and deepening the dynamic between the two in the way it did, it opened a gateway to a weird sort of "woobification" so to speak and as someone who majorly recognises sign of their own abuse in what Ford went through seeing their relationship without the layers it requires makes me squimish at best. But that being said I do enjoy the dynamic when explored with the grace it requires.

I also really enjoy Bill as a villain, he's a lotta fun and I like that TBOB keeps him as this person who does want to keep causing chaos and keeps tricking people (including us as the reader), while still adding layers onto him. They never excuse his evil, they just contextualise it and thats something a lot of works lack nowadays, that makes me appreciate it even more.

even my transphobic father acknowledged i'm like dipper (both in looks and personality), this feels like gender affirmation

the fact that tumblr has this at the top of the site gives me life

Don’t apologize for not uploading!! Just know your writing and your fics are absolutely worth waiting for. I would happily wait a month for an update.

Just knowing that you are working on it and haven’t given up on the fic makes me so excited to read the next chapter. Thank you for always giving us your best!!

I am so sorry, love, that I didn't see this before. I thank you so incredibly much for being so, so kind and so, so very sweet. Really. You have no idea just how much this means to me.

I apologize for that because I did (do) have a schedule, and it really makes me feel bad that I can't always keep up with it. I also fear a lot that you lot will give up on me and on the fic, and it would break my heart to shards (i really love you guys and i really love this story).

but, truly, thank you so much for your words. a lot of you call me a poet (it melts me every time and it's an honor), but i wish you all knew that the most beautiful things ever written or spoken are those wrapped in kindness.

you lot are my favorite writers, and i mean it. you make me tear up and smile like a cheshire cat every time.

(i'm a little bit emotional today. had a pretty shitty week and your message did lighten it quite a bit. thank you, thank you, thank you).
