I Think A Lot Of People Haven't Actually Read Flatland So You May Not Realize A. What Bill's Eye Mutation

I think a lot of people haven't actually read Flatland so you may not realize A. What Bill's eye mutation means and B. What precisely Bill did to destroy his homeworld.

Bill's home isn't completely the same as Edwin Abbott's Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (notably, women and men can be both polygons #feminism) but we can assume most of the mechanics are the same. The basic premise is that the world is 2D. Everyone perceives the world in a 1D way, along the plane. There's a part of Journal 3 that describes this pretty well.

Bill can see up to the stars because his eye is on the flat surface instead of on the side like everyone else, like this:

A diagram showing a flat red and a blue triangle, which have eyes on their side. In the middle is a yellow triangle (Bill) with an eye on the middle surface. The entire diagram is tilted slightly to show that it is flat.

(He's also slightly 3D, as we can see in the show.)

But there's one more important Flatland detail. The denizens of Flatland (and therefore likely Euclydia) do still have organs "inside" their bodies. Since there is no depth, they're just on the inner radius of their bodies. The 2007 Ehlinger movie adaptation shows that:

A screen shot from the 2007 Flatland film. It shows a square with organs drawn inside its radius.

If Bill wanted to "give his world a new perspective" and "show everyone what they were missing," he wanted to get everyone to look upward.

Meaning he probably tilted the entire world.

A drawing of a line and a drawing of the same line, tilted upwards.

Meaning everyone not only slid off of the plane, but all of their organs spilled out and everyone died.

...Hence "so much blood."

(The only issue with this is that it doesn't account for the number of times Euclydia is referred to have been burned ("saw his own dimension burn / misses home and can't return", he only has ashes leftover), but I'm sure the act of turning an entire dimension upwards expends a lot of energy.)

Oh wait- im so stupid- that makes so much fucking sense-

I wonder if the reason Bill was born with the ability of seeing the third dimension is because he was born from a red and a blue triangle. Red+blue is the color of 3D glasses wich allow you to see flat 2D things in 3D(imensions)

[ID: A Tumblr post edited to read:

"Bill and Ford are bitter ex-coded," Billford shippers say into the mic.

The crowd boos. They begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

"They're right," I hear. I look around for the owner for the voice. There in the fifth row, he stands: Alex Hirsch himself.

End ID.]
