A verse out of the fandom bible

hey hi hello! u are my favorite billdip creator and i was wondering how u feel after the book and now the website. clearly there’s a lot of billford propaganda now (i personally dont like it but i absolutely get why people do) & the reinvigorated hatred for billdip.

im also struggling to see why we ever started shipping them in the first place tbh? and i feel bad about it? i know it’s all been for shits and giggles but i used to be so convinced they were soulmates. and now i see canon material and its like huh…. bill really dgaf about dipper huh 😭 or maybe he does. i dont really know. its been so, so long without any real content that i dont even know how to feel rn. however i do know that the ship is super fun regardless so this doesn’t really matter.

sorry for putting all this on you lol

also are there any of the new moments that u have extra headcanons/thoughts about? :)

Aw, thank you so much! Always nice hearing my art brings people joy!

I haven't really been keeping up with all the lore regarding the website, but I was absolutely overjoyed to finally get ahold of the book! I wouldn't exactly call all the Billford material coming out "Propaganda." That makes it sound like they're trying to force something.

Nope! I think they're just very, very excited for all the new material that's come out in support of their ship, and I am in full agreeance that they should be burning down cities with their extensive fireworks show. Not my personal taste, but as Pi Patel once said, brothers and sisters of a different faith 🫡

It's always discouraging coming across hate for something you love so much, and recently we've been seeing a heavy incline of just that. "Block and Move On" could not be more relevant right now.

Something to cheer you up though, and hopefully remind you that there IS still a community for you to be apart of, is while the Billdip hate is ever-growing, I've also seen a significant uptick in my posts these past few days.

At the cost of our peace of mind, there is, remarkably, a soft re-emergence coming about this ship that I am forever grateful for! People revisiting after years of inactivity, disinterest, lack of new material. It's bittersweet in a lot of ways, but I would gladly live amongst the rubble!

I totally understand your discouragement. It can be sad watching ships sink, but that's kind of the thing about Billdip that I don't understand people's hate for? It can't happen, won't happen - clearly, we're just doing this for fun, because never in its four years of airing, did give us even a crumb of verification. Not even an atom.

It's kind of why The Book Of Bill doesn't absolutely devastate me. You can't kill Billdip in a way that matters. Realistically, we're not even a ship. We're in the belly of a whale, in the middle of the ocean, thousands of miles from the nearest speck of land, tired, dirty, but somehow still alive, eating blubber, living in it's less-acidic organs.

I've never been disillusioned to their actual relationship, but I don't think people have to be in order to enjoy the ship! It's always been about the intrigue for me.

"Alright, you've peaked my interest: If it could happen, how?"

All this bullshit speech happening about what's Canon and what's not is completely missing the point of Fandom.

We are consumers as well as producers. What we eat is what we spit out. If we want material for billdip, we don't have to wait for it, and we don't need authentication from God to do it.

I don't need canon to baby-bird feed me back my own hopes and dreams, lest I give up on the ship I stapled my left tit to. We've been at this since Gravity Falls ended eight whole years ago; this is OUR Roman Empire😌🤝😌

New material is always welcome! But the ENTIRE FUCKING SHOW couldn't stop us from writing fanfiction and making fanart and getting into little groups for events and headcanons and make friends, so it shouldn't stop us now 💪😤

Dark Lord and The Master of Death Harry Potter

That seems fitting-

for anyone not on twitter I need you all to know Jason Ritter is having a live tweet breakdown over the book of bill stuff

so clearly the fandom is doing GREAT

this monster of a fic rec

Tomarrymort Recs by aethon 🐍

Hi! Thank you for your interest in this blog 🤍 This is a rec blog focused exclusively on Tomarrymort recs.

If you're looking for Tomarrymort rec lists, keep reading! I will keep this master list of links updated as I post more rec lists to this blog.

My standard list of rec list disclaimers:

• Please mind all tags and warnings on AO3 before reading (including CCNTW, explanation here). I strive to include a diverse range of fic genres and ratings in my rec lists, so you'll come across lighter fare such as fluff and crack fics, along with fics that may cover darker themes. • Recs are always listed in alphabetical order by title. • Because I'm reccing Tomarrymort ship fics (all ratings from G through E) rather than gen fics, I aim to find fics where both characters in the ship are a meaningful part of the story; there isn't significant focus dedicated to side ships for Harry or Tom before getting to the endgame ship; and the Tomarrymort ship is central to the story. • Finally, this blog is not a fic-finding blog, but please visit our friends at @findingtomarrymort if you're having trouble locating a specific fic!
