Welcome to Build-A-Bill workshop!

What if the axolotl showed up and dumped Bill off at the Mystery Shack, but there was something... wrong with him? What if there had been something wrong with him for over a thousand years, and the therapists had simply given up?

If that premise interests you, check out When I'm Sixty-Four on Ao3, updates exist! Features Pines family bonding over questions of moral philosophy!

Big thank you to the artists who contributed their interpretations of this sad lil guy! Credits at bottom

If i met a white person irl I’d beat the shit out of them and mug them just because of this post. Because of you. Maybe even kill them. Because of you. You had to say this and now some random cracker bitch is gonna die. Are you happy? Was it worth it?

Thinking about how Ford’s canon deal with Bill sounds suspiciously like marriage vows. Thats it.

In all seriousness with how much Gravity Falls as a series makes jokes at Mormonism or outright overlaps with the faith thanks to it's heavy use of Masonic imagery it feels like giving up a lot of narrative real estate to not make somebody a member of the Later Day Saints (imo). We are talking about a faith that has the dipper constellation and the eye of providence etched into the facade of their holy of holiest temples here! The brand synergy was there even before Alex Hirsch made a visual gag in TBOB that made Bill himself the genesis of the religion.

If LDS members being a minority group in the south is the holdup. Don't worry. Mormons did and do exist in Tennessee. Despite us god fearing Christians killing them in their places of worship and harassing them but they existed. Also here's another LDS fun fact a member of the Quorum of the Twelve used to be the mayor of Palo Alto! He also lead a pretty successful double life, well much more successful than our boy Fiddleford given how squeaky clean they keep his Wikipedia profile.

Interesting. He doesn't strike me as particularly Catholic or Amish, tho i don't know enough about Southern Baptists to make that call. Now that i think about it tho, the bit in Journal 3 where Fiddleford objects to Ford saying "what the devil" does tannins me of the scene in Angels in America where Joe asks Roy Cohn to stop cursing.

I will say, the thing that gives me pause, and the only thing that really makes me consider Catholic, is that Ford explicitly says that Fiddleford crosses himself. Which i was under the impression is only done by Catholics. I could be wrong tho. Do Mormons cross themselves?

Making the mark of the cross is more a Catholic exclusive class perk. While Mormons don't like wearing the cross or making the sign they're not outwardly hostile to Catholicsm (see southern Baptist) and lump them equally as being apostates. Regardless plenty of people, religious or not, make that sign as a gag or for sincerity.

Except Southern Baptist (which are not the same as Baptists). They'll beat that antichrist shit outta yah. I speak from experience. Idgaf if they're being more hush about it now I was raised SB I went to churches in that specific denomination across my country for most of my life and they all viewed the Pope as a part of the plan of revelation in some shape or form. The Antichrist, if you will. Sorry Catholics, we're rude as hell about y'all and that isn't very team sports player of us.

Pentecostal sects (which I've seen mentioned) also rank Catholicism very poorly and while I've known some Charismatic sects (Again, like Baptists charismatic Pentecostal =/= Pentecostal) that view them with horrific violence. Like fear for your safety if they think you're Catholic(TBF I knew spinoffs of SB like this too) that's is heavily dependent on the leader. So Imma be nice and say they're overall more chill than S Baptist. Probably don't beat their kids for throwing the cross sign.

Tldr if the hand crossing has to be sincere you're gonna have to write off most of the other religions outside of Catholicism... and Lutherans! 🎉🎉🎉

But, from personal experience, a Mormon would certainly be way more chill about it than a Sothern Baptist so knock us off the ranking and go with your heart on that one. Sorry. I mean....

Listen to what the BillLord tells you and go with that.

Exmo weighing in

Recently, Mormons have started adopting crosses in an attempt to be accepted as Christians, but back in the 80’s the Mormon corridor (Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona) would have vehemently rejected crosses, crossing oneself, etc vehemently. Many did/do see Catholics as the whore of the earth or whatever (it’s been a second since I left that cult can’t remember all the lingo)

However! Mormonism inside the corridor and outside the corridor is super different, and tend to be more chill about that kind of stuff. As a California Mormon I actually did cross myself sometimes, mostly as a joke but once or twice out of genuine fear. If I was seeing demons and shit like fidds I prolly have crossed myself.

I’m thinking Fiddleford was something of a liberal jack-Mormon. Maybe he didn’t serve a mission and will drink coffee, but also just sort of vaguely holds Mormon beliefs.

Culturally Mormon, but not actively practicing.

Interesting to consider whether Tate would have gone head-first into Mormonism as a sort of rejection of his inactive father. The structure of being a missionary probably would have appealed to a stoic young Tate.

honestly one of my favorite things about fanfic is when you can see the canon influences come out in really subtle ways. like a canon line thats mentioned once as a throwaway is suddenly the entire premise for a fic or it influences the characterization or something. its just so cool to see how people weave their ideas around a source material, especially if its not a detail i'd thought about before
