How do you feel about Bill Cipher as a villain? Let us know! THUMBNAIL ART BY JANKYBONES: jankybones.tumblr.com/ twitter.com/bonejanky instagram.com/bonejanky/ kzfaq.info/love/VJKCFSCUnkkeAQk0w090oA

“Bill Cipher is a con man.” He was a con man who cared for nobody, killed by a con man who cared for everyone

imagine tricking your way to almost getting everything you ever wanted for 1000’s of years and getting stopped by two 12 year olds.

Bill cipher: *Lies* Stan pines: *Lies* Bill cipher: *Makes bad deals* Stan pines: *Makes bad deals* ... I think we all know what happens next

Thorey: Bill had gone through so many "Doritos" jokes that he ended up developing an immunity against the jokes

The people in Bill's dimension were both literally and metaphorically two-dimensional.

Thanos: I killed half of the universe Bill cipher: I killed a whole spacial DIMENSION!

“Sixty degrees that come in threes. Watches from within birch trees. Saw his own dimension burn. Misses home and can’t return. Says he’s happy. He’s a liar. Blame the arson for the fire. If he wants to shirk the blame. He’ll have to invoke my name. One way to absolve his crime. A different form, a different time.” -Axolotl

Conspiracy theory: Gravity Falls is based on real life and Disney is just releasing the secrets of the government. But since they did it in as a show, the government didn't act on it.

Anyone else notice a recurring theme with a lot of Disney villains downfall being their pride and arrogance

The fact that everyone still talking about gravity falls after 4 years just show the amount of love this show got

Theory: people created dreamcatchers because of bill lurking in their dreams

“Bill is a floating flat triangle” He is probably an evil god of Doritos and or the other MLG foods or items.

That moment when you realize bill's scheme is technically a "pyramid scheme"

Fun Fact: In Bill's AMA, when asked about his world he references Edwin Abbot, who is the author of the novel "Flatland" That novel takes place in a world of 2D shapes with a very strict and opressive social structure, triangles being kind of low in the social hierarchy. It works pretty well, it's everything that Bill hates and what could have led to his obsession with freedom, wanting to erradicate every single law and restriction possible, including laws of physics.

he wasn't speaking gibberish, its a backwards message of him saying: "BILL. CIPHER. TRIANGLE."

I always liked the theory that Bill's new form he took was as stan, never truly remembering his orgin but keeping a lot of the same personality, plus just the weird connection between the end of the big mystery hunt and the clip of Stan singing the same song bill does where the lyrics are like "we'll meet again some sunny day"

I never realized that the reason Bill's plan to trick Mabel worked so well because he had infinite tries. Even though he's a master manipulator, he probably travelled back a few times until he could catch Mabel at her lowest emotional point and use the EXACT words she needed to hear.

Imagine if everyone just had a bunch of dreamcatchers

The fact that in a copy of journal 3, one page in particular scared me to death. Sumthin about bill still in dippers body, jumping off the water tower so dipper can't get back in his own body and be stuck in the mind scape forever. Man if mabel didn't got that book back in sock opera..

According to flatland which is canon for what bills universe was like, a lot of shapes were killed for being irregular and were discriminated against which makes sense why bill hates rules so much. A deciphered code from bill in journal 3 states “rules are perversions against all will” so maybe he did have a somewhat twisted reason for what he does

"When gravity falls and earth becomes sky, fear the beast with just one eye." In It's Gonna Get Weird (a cut song Bill sings during Weirdmaggedion) Bill sings "Gravity's a lie, so is the sky. Trust in the all seeing, all knowing eye." This is the best callback ever and it isn't even in the show.

I just realized: A live-action Gravity Falls movie would be TERRIFYING! Imagine the scene where Bill takes physical form, with the muscle and sinew forming from a formless creature of untold power. It would be awesome!

He realized he was 2D character in a cartoon and went insane. And thus being made up, anything he want could happen

I have the theory that Bill Cipher's homedimension had a class system like the one shown in Journal 3 in which triangles are low-class. Everyone was just talking about classes and no one was interested in anything else. The flatless and boring conversations drew Bill Cipher who wanted to escape the class system mad. He never wanted to destroy his home dimension but he was so angry at them that he accidently destroyed it. Also, I have the theory that Bill Cipher discovered that they were magical forms, but magic was not allowed. He wanted to change something. But no one in his dimension wanted a change. This also explains why Bill wants to create chaos instead of order. (Because the class system was all about order). This is just my little theory and my explanation why I can't see Bill as a bad person...

Gravity Falls Fans when it ended: 2016: season 3 is coming out in 2017! 2017: season 3 has been delayed a year 2018: season 3 is being rewritten 2019: there is still a possibility of a season 3 in 2020! 2020: *BILL IS SECRETLY CONNECTED TO THE OWL HOUSE, PLOT TWIST DIPPER IS A MOUSE, EVERY TREE HAS A SECRET CODE*

Fun fact: Bill actually didn't go back on his deal with Dipper because when the laptop was broken it reveled the Magucket labs logo giving the hint that Dipper needed thus completing his end of the deal

1:57 When he or bill said "NOT ANYMORE" *_Will and The reverse falls fans felt that_*

2020: Hey what should we do next Bill: Allow me to introduce myself

“If bill just kept his mouth shu- *He doesn’t have a mouth*

Its been literally 5 years since it ended, still feels like yesterday

TheRoundTable: "Even if Bill is defeated" Me who knows what he said in backwards when he died: sureeeeee.....

The roundtable, Ford got the metal plate in his head after he was accidentally sent through the portal. This is confirmed in journal 3.

Human: thanos is the most powerful villain. Me: bill cipher destroyed an ENTIRE DIMENSION!!

I'm just going to post this theory I thought of: Two Timeline Theory Orginal timeline (Weirdmagedon never happens): The events of "D&M vs. The Future" happen but Ford and Dipper are able to seal the rift, skip to 3012 and the Time Baby frozen in ice reaks havoc on the world, skip to 20712 and the events of "Blendin's Game" happen (everything we see in the future in the show is the original timeline), Blendin makes a deal with Bill. Bill goes back in time and changes the timeline. Alternate Timeline (Weirdmagedon happens): Bill/Blendin intercepts Mabel, destroys the rift, and causes Weirdmagedon. Time Baby goes back in time but is distigrated by Bill, reconstitutes in 1000 years leading to two Time Babies in 3012. And the rest happens as we saw.

I swear on my life after I got into the lore of this show Bill was haunting MY dreams. Who else had this experience?

What if Bill's new form was the cat from the new Rick and Morty season that Rick and Morty's dad were afraid of. It would also make sense because Rick and Morty and Gravity Falls have put a bunch of references to eachother inside thier shows.

Imagine Anubis being like: Guys, Yo, Guys where are you?

He's a triangle dream demon with an eye on deals, Bill is definitely a great villain

I’m glad none of this is real, but the lore is amazing

Having a seemingly all powerful being that can offer you anything is such a great scenario for characterization.

I like to believe that Bill has at least one family member out there somewhere who will continue the plan, and see it through. Therefore bringing Bill back, and the two of them split up to take over the multiverse. It's definitely wishful thinking, but I'm curious about if there's somebody, something related to Bill still alive out there. Edit: Grammar and WOAH, likes and comments! Thanks.

Bill cipher is honestly the only villain that I love to hate but at the same time I love him 😂🤍

"After all, why would anyone sacrifice anything for their dumb sibling?"

18:29 it's not bs it's true he grant mable wish "Summer never ends" but in a Bubble, Bill always acknowledged the deal (Grammar?)

Bill Cipher’s master plan: *Party!*

I can't be the only one who thought Gideon was a talking pig instead of a actual human back then😂

Bill's downfall was that he focused so much on the Pines family's weaknesses that he assumed he would be victorious no matter what when in reality, people can work together and come up with a plan combining their strengths.

He was missing one thing , love and love for family so he didn’t know how to understand the why the twins always getting in his way

And then he became the cutest little devil named king

Wait. Bill removing his exoskeleton to feast is what Fiddleford saw? Why did I forget that?

honestly one of my favorite villians ever. Also, i gotta say that i love it when villains write their own downfall

Wow just wow, amazing work putting that all together. That shit was crazyyy 🔥🔥🔥

Says he's happy, he's a Liar. -Words about Bill.

*[I love the villains who actually win a couple examples I can think of are Bill Cipher and Harumi]*

I always thought that Bill was a Deal Demon, and he uses that to get power over the mortals, and the nightmare relam was actually like pergatory or hell

I’m surprised bill didn’t get involved with Einstein he could definitely build a portal maybe idk

I wish it had more screen time and a moment where we actually see Rick and Ford hanging out instead of the situation being vague and unclear

Bill Arson Cipher hmmm 🤔 weird yet charming name,just like himself!

This video answered so many questions for me! The ending of it has me confused though. I have always believed that Bill was still around living within Stan’s head; there is much evidence behind it which is displayed in The Film Theorist’s video titled “Film Theory: Gravity Falls ISN’T OVER!”, which has caused me to believe their statement. Seeing now that there is also evidence behind Bill being reborn into King, and seeing the many hints in Gravity Falls and Owl House’s relation is causing me to grow very curious. Which theory is most accurate? Is it even worth deciding since the show ended years ago and I’m just a huge nerd to still be researching about it? Maybe Gravity Falls continues within Owl House. If so, will the second season answer these questions causing my questions

Bill Cipher, an antagonist, won Weirdmageddon (but was stopped) Bill also likes fire, uses it for part of his power, but a lot of times regrets burning everything in sight to its last molecule for no reason, to the point where it's in a poem. 8-5-18-15-2-18-9-14-5, a protagonist, keeps losing their battles against an antagonist, even though their probably even more overpowered than Bill himself. -Also likes fire, uses it for part of their power, but all the time regrets burning things in sight for no reason, to the point where it's in a song. But, they were told to do this, due to the lyric after, saying why they did that; being forced to hate, and even burn down, their own dimension. Bill, on the other hand, does this on his free will, but also regrets it. Bill seems heartless and sadistic, but probably wasn't/isn't always that way. Who I was talking about seems heartless, but actually is the total opposite, trying to show that they don't want to intentionally hurt others. That's why their best friend (I could go as far as to call them their practical sibling) knows that truth and, like Sans from Undertale, will try to protect, and even get revenge for them. No, please don't go to the conclusion that Bill's the one forcing them to do this, because the song I was talking about gives a *huge* hint to who's responsible. Hope this gives you a new perspective on Bill, 8-5-18-15-2-18-9-14-5, and 5-14-20-9-20-25! Have a nice day you guys!

Everyone: bill cipher is a dorito Illuminati: *sad eye noises*

"All mighty Axolotl" my new favorite phrase.

The picture of Bill with lips is just awesome.

There's also an added layer of "wow" to that family genocide story once you realize that his powers come naturally to him, he might have studied and improved them but a most people in his home dimension could probably do most to all of the things he could. Meaning that they just sat there while the world burned. I imagine it was a last ditch effort to get his family to change, maybe if he pushed them they'd take the leap, when they didnt they died. The axolotl makes it clear that he feels some remorse about burning his home world to the ground. He probably didnt think they would actually let themselves be killed off.

You know, if I was able to blush, I'd do it right now!

8:05 Did NOT know that Easter Egg existed.

Good thing Bill Cipher is stuck as a statue for the rest of his life, just like Damian Stone at the end of Zuma's Fear/Courage.

Threw bright sight of 360° Watching humanity within birch trees Misses home but can't return, Invoke my name, One way to absolve his crime A different form a different time

Bill met Rick I'd love to see how chaotic that was

I like to assume that Bill might've had some form of supernatural abilities in his home dimension, but perhaps because of his powers conflicting with his time in alternate dimensions, it allowed him to have much more control and many more powers than he may have originally had

I’m so happy people are still talking about this amazing series

After he made the comment about Rick and bill meeting the moment when rick referenced God after his fight with Zeus saying that it would have gone differently makes a lot more sense now.

Here’s my idea on bills origin unlike the other shapes in his 2D world he was born with his eye in the centre of his shape therefore he could see the 3D dimension het tried to tell his friends but no one believed him and he was thrown into a mental asylum. A 3D triangle (or Tetrahedron) pulled him out of his 2D world an gave him powers unfortunately his mind had been broken and ended up destroying Flatland

"Was he short-sighted? Of course! He just has one eye!" That joke was so smart, I applaude.

Bill is one of the greatest villains of all time. You can not convince me otherwise

i still love that connection to Rick and Morty. that Bill tries to manipulate Rick and Rick just probably got bored an just casually erased his encounter With Bill and goes on with his life

and THAT'S why stan had the kids make counterfeit "stan bux"

Since Bill Cipher comes from the 2nd dimension with a flat world, he technically comes from the same dimension as Doodle Bob, which explains why he was evil.

10:16 For those who don't know, it's a backwards message saying "BILL CIPHER! TRIANGLE"

Wow, great video. Bill Cipher is one of my favorite villains. And his origin story was mess up but also very interesting.⚠️🌪👍🦹🏻‍♂️

Knowing this information would have made the finale so much more suspenseful.

Roundtable: Bill cipher Me: The flying dorito man In a top hat That wants to mix his dimension With ours But Stan pines ate him Because he still at the end of the day was a dorito Edit: 420

Well, it wasn't necessarily a "psychotic act". I have a feeling Bill didn't have a good relationship with his family because they were cruel to _him._ And since the AXOLOTL said he misses home, I don't think he burned his dimension on purpose. I think he wanted to take over the Pines' dimension because he wanted a place to call home again. It was filled with chaos because that was really the only way he knew how to cope with what he had done. To expand, he did it because he wanted to escape reality and that was the only way he knew how to do it.

the fact that the show ended 4 years ago and people still are fan Girling over it is incredible

I was thinking about this and wanted to share it somewhere, and I felt this was a good place, so here goes: If the Anti-Mabel's page on Shmeb-You-Unlocked has a brief description of the rumoured Anti-Bill at the bottom (in code), and if he is real, this means there is at least one alternate version of Bill. How do we know that there aren't more alternate versions of him scattered about the multiverse? (Side note, but the Anti-Bill just interests me. Did he originate in an alternate version of the 2nd dimension, or is he from the same original universe as our Bill? Does our Bill know of his existence? Do the Anti-Pines know of his existence?)

*[Oh stars... i wish i was as powerful and fearsome as Bill Cipher... with that kind of power... i'd be unstoppable... and then, the world- No... THE UNIVERSE WOULD BE MINE! NYAHAHAHAHA]*

thanks! this really made me comprehend the series more

It's been 4 years since it's end, seeing this made me nostalgic

10:07 Soos’ line from “Into the Bunker”: Good luck sleeping tonight. That image is horrifying.

9:13 is it just me or does anyone else see the Diamond authority logo on a fire extinguisher

You got to admit, Bill had to be nerfed on many occasions to give the protags a chance to win. Nerfed by creative writing, but imagine a Bill at full capacity and potential and the scary impossibilities he could wreak

I never knew i could love bill even more

And that's just a theory, of Film Theory.

Bill also wanted to yeet Dipper's body off the water tower IIRC, which is a fairly good way of stopping him from interfering if it did happen

Bill Cipher: Tortured Mason/Dipper, Mabel, and literally everyone else in the show. Fam: WE STILL LOVE YOU! Me: Heh. I like axolotls.

Such a good video, I love the round tables content 🙏🏽🤧

There is that amazing fanfiction about Bill's origins and it's called "Flat dreams". I highly recomend it and even if it's not canon it is worth giving it a chance. Really makes you think twice. Plus one chapter is just hilarious! But I'm not going to spoil it for people who want to read. Edit: for people who are wondering it's not an x reader shiet or any other ship. Just Bill's origins. I thought that this edit was needed.

I remember after watching each episode I would see a triangle in the dark and hide under the covers

Good summary dude!
