10:36 You know Gideon becoming Bill’s jester after a betrayal deal is kinda like 2:55 when Bill became one after another one. Look how the tables have turned.

[@svxd7369]

I love that Pacifica rejected Bill's deal because it further solidifies her character development from Northwest Mansion Mystery and Bill calling Pacifica a paternity test is wild.

[@Msizi-o1o]

What u think he meant by paternity test 🤔

[@ViewVidz]

​@Msizi-o1o She looks nothing like her Mr.Northwest, he doesnt think hes the father of her

[@darkneon5637]

That would be great

[@craytherlaygaming2852]

9:45 you see... the problem is, Bill tried to appeal to her heritage as a Northwest, rather than her feelings as a girl, I mean, if he took one look at Giffany, he would have known how dangerous love can be. Had he appealed to her budding feelings for Dipper, and her desire to go *against* her family, he may have had her wrapped around her fingers. Heck he could have turned her into a Giddeon sorta figure for Dipper, making her obsessive by convincing her she wants to *own* dipper rather than simply hang out with him. Seriously Bill... you done goofed there

[@Carzeyday]

Bill projects a lot. If he can't 100% figure out what someone wants he just starts projecting his own feelings which are "entrapment, control and freedom".

[@lizardlover9941]

@DrFeba Me, if he ever stops avoiding me. Every night I tried to think of bill in an attempt to contact him. One night, I had a dream where he calls me on a flip phone, and when I answer, all the tech in the room (specifically a big tv on the wall, among other things) lights up yellow/broadcasts the message: “stop trying to contact me” or something like that. He did it in a deep, messy, electronic voice that definitely would’ve creeped me out irl, but now I’m just ignoring his instructions on purpose in hopes of getting a rise out of him. Lol

[@SirPuddington]

Between Bill being erased and making the Book of Bill, he does make one other deal. Before Bill dies, he says something in reverse, which is "A-X-O-L-O-T-L, the time has come for me to burn! I invoke the ancient power that I may return!" After dying, he's sent to "A tank outside space and time", where he meets the Axolotl, an omnipotent being who rules the multiverse. Basically, Bill says "Let me live again", and then the Axolotl says "Sure, but you have to do my challenge first." and Bill's like "Ok, bet.". The "Challenge" was rehab therapy. The axolotl will uphold his end of the deal, because once Bill finishes therapy, he'll come back to life as a new creature, like a butterfly.

[@johnchism3705]

On the topic of Pacifica, on the website, she says that she has to clean up the feathers from her parents’ adult masquerade parties. I don’t wanna say what the implications are. I think the website also implies that her parents conditioned her to the bell by starving her. Also, I’m pretty sure that her ancestor was the Anticipherite, Abigail Blackwell. You could totally do a deep dive into Pacifica.

[@theenderdestruction2362]

eck that's disgusting

[@tdl487]

The level of gross that can only be deemed normal by the uber rich. Poor girl. And since she's the only heir to the now dwindling Northwest family fortune we can all take a wild guess just how they'll use her to grow back their fortune...-shudders- I read a good future fic where Pacifica has Dipper be her 'fake' boyfriend to keep rich old suitors away from her during parties in exchange for her funding his research(after highschool he for-goed traditional college and moved to Gravity Falls for good, taking over Ford's research) but in reality she was preventing him from going over board and overworking himself.

[@darkkirb206]

I kinda wish we saw Pacifica reject Bill’s deal, mainly since it would’ve further solidified her character growth when I’m pretty sure she would’ve been more tempted to take the deal pre-Northwest Manor Mystery.

[@gavinsmith9871]

Pacifica really channled her inner Dalinar and was like "You cannot have my pain." Nice.

[@ajerjavec4723]

For Pacifica, I like to think that the paternity test kinda makes anything where they poked at her having blonde hair as berserk button. I mean, if she didn’t have Northwest blood I doubt she could’ve opened the gates and stopped the curse of course her mom and dad are related distantly at least like how some rich people marry their relatives

Fun fact: the guy to the right of Bill at 12:34 is actually a real person from Rome who ate his own child seconds after their birth. (I think he was a king or something and an angel told him that his son would overthrow him. fact check me on this)

[@TheArchivist30]

You're right about the son overthrowing him. That guy is Chronus, Ruler of the Titans and Father of several of the Greek Gods. He was told that one of his children would overthrow him, so he ate all but one. BUT THEN ALONG CAME ZEUS! His mother, Rhea, hid him away so he could get stronger to face him and free his siblings. (Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and Chiron.) In the end, Zeus was victorious, cutting Chronus open to free his siblings, and banishing him and most of the Titans to Tartarus. Zeus then took his place as King of the Greek Gods. And that's the Gospel Truth!

[@claudialuquepazos2934]

If we analyze Bill´s deals he doesnt lie about the end goal but he never gives the whole picture and manipulates stuff for his own gain; like he did fullfill his deal with Dipper by giving him a hint by destroying the laptop and thanks to the Portal, Ford´s dimension was gonna learn about the existence of other dimensions and how to party (at the expense of the order and potential lives lost thanks to Bill´s weirdness-but, minor details) and Mabel ended up getting her paradise of eternal summer so even if she died if the bubble couldnt sustain her body, assuming it ralentized time long enough or if the nutrients/food inside could kill her veeeery slowly (the whole place was made wih magoots, worms and other insects), she wouldnt have realized it and she´d be happy forever, creepy, but hey, a deal´s a deal. To be fair, Bill and Gideon are parallels to one another. Both have same story (outcasts that gained power fairly young and it helped their rise to villany who craved attention and love deep inside), same modus operandi for their plans, both refer to themselves as littl guys and use make-up as well as caring greatly for their appearence, had McGuket build something for them, both mistreat animals, consume certain foods in specific ways (ice cream and medicine), have a rivalry with one of the Stan Twins, wanted something inside the Shack and attempted to get one of the journals once, hate the twin of the Pines member they have interest on and blame them for their relationship falling apart when it was their own doing, dont think highly of and are condescending with Dipper whereas they hold Mabel on higher standards mainly for her crazed, fun loving, quirky personality (through different POVs), both follow the pattern of making two apparitions and getting defeated with tickles once, both ended up gaining a criminal gang that supported them but who they dont confide in nor respect as they do with Mabel or Ford like Gideon sharing secretts with her and Bill telling Ford alone what truly happened to Euclydia, both were in need for a code for their plans in the season Finale, both tormented a Stan Twin when they were in chains/restrains, both offered certain Pines family member the chance to rule alongside them but not oly did they get rejected they also got punched in the face by their twin inside someone´s head, hate Stan´s guts for messing with their plans for ultimate power and try to make him look bad through whatever means possible and failed to talk their way out of sentence in their defeats and were stuck in jail where they do art therapy and made stuff for the Pines Family in jail that got rejected. All this explains why he was on good terms with him; I mean Bill does act very similar to when he met Ford when he meets Gideon, showing him stuff like his omniscient powers and giving him deer teeth since he finds those cool. as well as seeing he could get benefits from Gideon´s deal/help once he brings Stanford Pines in the conversation. This is also one of the first times Bill was summoned with full intention and not by accident/mistake. Theres also the fact that its implied Bill not only gave Gideon his cowboy outfit in Weirdmageddon but he rewarded Gideon with love advice to conquer Mabel with the love cage tip he says in his book and he did know how to free the town from Bill´s powers which means they talked about it when being buddies in Weirdmageddon with maybe Bill introducing Ford to Gideon. I imagine Bill saw himself in Gideon hence he wanted to give him something he never got back when he was Gideon´s age-power, fun and love-He got to be one of his henchmaniacs and with enough authority to arrest people and he had Mabel like he always wanted. Not to mention when he betrays the henchmaniacs Bill gives him some humilating but light punishment and we see he has water and papers in the cage to eat and do his needs with. Very light considering everything we saw him do to other people like Dipper, Preston or even Ford himself when he went back on their deal by causing him pain with his neurons as well as tormenting him with visions and getting him in trouble whenever he took his body for a joyride. But Gideon saw the error of his ways and decided to be better and improve himself to be worthy of loving which is something Bill will never do.

[@Joe-rz3fd]

I've noticed three things every deal Bill makes have in common: - Bill's deals all have the end goal of global (or dimensional?) Weirdmageddon - Bill fulfills his end of the bargain first, which actually helps further his own goal as mentioned above - Much like real demons, everybody who has ever successfully made a deal with Bill makes it their life's mission to completely destroy him after he double crosses them Here's how the second point applies to the series: - Bill's end of the first Gideon deal was getting him the combination to Stan's safe, which he would have done if not for Mabel's Nyarf gun. This would have helped him out too, as mentioned in the video, because he could have had Gideon be the unwitting pawn who opened the portal using the other journal. - Bill promised Dipper a "hint" in his laptop mystery. This is the one the most people got tripped up on because Bill minced words on BOTH ends of the deal: he received a "puppet," while Dipper received a "hint." As we see in SotBE, the destroyed laptop in and of itself was a hint. Bipper's line "Destroying that laptop was a cinch" suggests that fulfilling his end of the deal might actually be a prerequisite for him to get anything done on the other end. And, from Bill's AMA and the Book of Bill, we know he can see possible futures. So he probably saw many possible futures where Mermando sent Mabel another bottle message, even if it wasn't a marriage announcement, or where Dipper simply looked at the laptop through a regular magnifying glass (since it was the only clue he had left after his journal was destroyed). So knowing that the words "McGucket Labs" were on the laptop, and that Dipper would soon have a way of seeing those words, Bill knew that chasing after McGucket would distract Dipper from the real mystery of the portal that was literally right under his nose. In fact, destroying the Society of the Blind Eye may have actually played into Bill's plan as well: the townspeople would actually begin to remember the paranormal activity going on there, and as Mayor Tyler pointed out, "None of us really understand the 'events' of the last few days, and, *none of us want to.*" So if you think about it, his "Never Mind All That" act was in fact a replacement for the Blind Eye Society. BUT, that might have actually been a GOOD thing, as it kept people from going insane like Bill. Plus, we all know that misery loves company, so even more of a reason for Bill to drive others insane. - Gideon's second deal with Bill (which could have only happened because their first deal was somewhat... less than successful) was obviously for Bill to free Gideon from prison. Obviously Gideon had to be free from his own prison before he could guard Mabel in hers. And, guarding Mabel's prison would allow Bill to continue to reign over the world forever, because the Zodiac would never be able to be fulfilled. - Even Bill's deal with Blendin follows these rules. While the Time Agents only had their astral projections destroyed, Time Baby himself was killed at the beginning of Weirdmageddon. Bill only had to start it in order to lure him there. - In Bill's final deal, all he had to do was spare Dipper, Mabel and Ford. Putting them down allowed him to enter Stan's mind so he could steal the equation that would allow him to undo Gravity Falls's natural law of weirdness magnetism. Obviously we know how that turned out.

[@jeremiahmarlow8938]

I love the thumbnail art

[@APSBand]

If the book dipper and Mabel’s guide to mystery is canon, there’s a page where dipper says that he feels tired and is just going to rest his eyes for a second and on the next page it’s bill writing, this took place after sock opera and because bill didn’t have a physical form yet we can only assume that the deal with dipper wasn’t off yet and bill took control of dippers body to write in the book. I don’t think dipper realised he was possibly possessed in that moment because he claims that he just went to sleep and woke up to see bills writing in the book I’m not saying this 100% is what happened but it’s probable.
