"The Helper Seeks To Help Because He Knows What It Is To Be Helpless"

"The helper seeks to help because he knows what it is to be helpless"

Peepers constantly tells Hater that he is the best and wonderful because he knows what it's like not to have support and praise

continuing the theme of my headcanon about the music industry and peepers and how he probably sees himself in lord hater and therefore supports him

I also think this is the reason why Peepers often behaves like a parental figure towards Hater

Sorry I'm writing so much because I'm reviewing this show and I JUST CAN'T KEEP QUIET!!!!!!!!

It's ok to kiss your colleagues in the army until you accidentally kiss your unromantic and evil commander

I think he's blushing with anger

Peepers demonstrates his musical skills only when Hater is around him

or only for him.

while the other characters sing for themselves (wander and hater love this business, Sylvia loves karaoke), Peepers plays for someone. Despite the fact that he at least plays the piano and drums perfectly.

I don't want to escalate but my gut tells me that Peepers has a trauma related to the music industry and this is part of the reason why he is so close to Hater (who dreamed of creating his own musical group and so on)........ I don't know how to formulate my thoughts but I hope you understand what I mean..

Two smart guys with 80’s tech can only do so much. It took them years to make the portal, one that breaks down everytime it activates.

For Commander Peepers? He can make a portal in a quarter of that time that’s stable.

It wouldn’t break down and would be able to control the excess energy that emits from it.

Peepers is the perfect pawn for Bill. Socially outcast with a crippling insecurity about his height, the desire to be praised and hold power over others, painfully lonely with a brilliant mind- he mirrors Ford in this way. I believe one of the WOY crew members emphasized him being different from the watchdogs.

It’s so easy for Bill; what do we have here? A smart guy who builds evil planet-destroying devices? Handling complex machinery?

He’s got a high IQ- misguided by his adoration for his stupid leader. The need for approval is crippling. So what can we do? Our little song and dance-

Bill’s experience speaks for itself. It would take very little effort, no questioning or anything- kind of boring, really.

Oh and Peepers has just been WAITING for someone to realize his true potential!

It’s all the same with Ford. He wants to feel special. The way Peepers would cling, claw, ride the high of the teensy bit of praise Hater gave him months ago…it makes Bill laugh. Such a sucker. A mathematically talented genius with more weaknesses than anyone can count.

So here we are, Peepers wants power. He wants respect. He wants to be seen. Bill promises Peepers a sense of social validation- to be adored- and eventually feared by his peers, and in extension, the galaxy. In return, Bill wants a portal- instead of spinning it as a “gateway for infinite knowledge of the universe” he can actually be a little more truthful. He’ll tell Peepers it can be used as an unstoppable weapon of destruction, better than what Major Threat had, better than what Lord Dominator had. The Peepers empire- I mean- The Hater empire would conquer the galaxy. Bill can come into this plane and they’ll rule everyone, side by side, Muse by Painter.

It’s a win win! Come on Peepers! Take the deal! When was the last time you played chess with someone that was actually smart enough to compete against you?

Infatuation: We saw how easy it was for Ford to be a Cipherholic. For many others to be. Peepers would unfortunately fall for his flattery. Under the assumption that Peepers is in love with Hater- (idolization if you wish) this prevents him from fully going evil, betraying everyone at once, I think.

But Peepers does get a little tired here and there putting up with Hater’s stupidity. Everyone’s stupidity, actually.

But Bill?

Bill has a lot of knowledge of the universe and intelligence.

Peepers would feel so intellectually stimulated by their conversations- likely about quantum theories, astrophysics, how stupid everyone is. There’s one thing Peepers has going on instead of Ford. Ford isn’t directly malicious or evil (besides the revenge fantasies), but Peepers is. He’d find Bill’s sadistic humor to be funnier than Ford ever did. Bill likes that.

Planting these seeds in Peeper’s brain- like the portal- Peepers would reach worship levels faster than Ford.

“I want to feel tall.”

“I’ll make you feel tall.”

Possession: This one is funny to think about, Bill’s unhinged behavior is exponential. He uses his charisma to gain social approval with the watchdogs and Hater’s favor in Peepers’ body. He probably wouldn’t have to complete all the calculations that Ford needed help with- really the possession is just so Peepers is more likable.

Bill’s feelings: Peepers was the easiest pawn to entrance. Bill finds this rather boring. There’s nothing to sink his teeth into- nothing to tear. Just a hollow puppet. He isn’t weird enough for Bill to enjoy, he seems rather logical and put together. Sure he’s shorter than everyone but was he born with any extra features that makes him an anomaly? But he’s certainly the most efficient puppet, so he’s gotta keep that going.

Peepers would also catch Fiddleford and Ford’s mistakes with the portal’s code.

Sort of like, “Oh haha, whoever did this code is so stupid, have they considered their calculations would blow up the entire room?!”

Bill being Bill, filled with bitterness, would agree in tandem at first. “Haha YEAH my last guy wasn’t up to par!”

Before uh, Peepers gets carried away and Bill’s own complicated feelings about Ford arise.

“Seriously, have you seen this derivative answer?! A traffic cone could have done better-”

“That’s enough”

Ford: I don’t have a set story/timeline for these two in mind, but I would like to imagine Ford’s reaction. Being unable to stop the vicious cycle repeat chokes him. Warning Peepers and all, oh don’t fall for it, he’ll betray you, promise you a galaxy, yadda yadda…

But Peepers only hears that last part.

“My own galaxy…?”

“Yes, he’ll make you ‘one of them’ and promise ultimate power with no law or restrictions- everything you could dream of- but DO NOT fall for it!”

Peepers falls for it. Or rather embarasses himself- Bill does not care for Peepers in this way. He’d never offer this unless it was for gain, so what does Peepers do? Throw himself to Bill and the Henchmaniacs- pleading to be a part of them. All that results from that is being laughed out of the room. Doesn’t help that he's the shortest.

Peepers doesn’t fit in with the watchdogs, or even the crazy weirdos/freaks.

He is truly alone.

Toxic yaoi has revived Gravity Falls fandom, so can toxic yuri do the same feat?

pretty please.??

Oh! Can you expand on that recent headcanon about hater, peepers and the music industry?

Lots of people in the fandom are rus/eng so you could use rus if it makes it easier, or dm me and I can help translate :D

Luv the art btw

Aw thank you it's so cute!!:P

About hc: few years ago I saw a post by Frank Angones in which he said that Peepers has been playing the piano seriously for at least 10 years, and before that it was mentioned that he may have a rather strained relationship with his parents.!

I have several friends who are interested in music, and their experience mainly consists of the fact that they now love and hate everything related to it equally.. This is due to the fact that there is very strong competition in this area, teachers are very often unfairly and incredibly strict, and the "average level" is not tolerated here.

"This is music you're either a genius at it or you're nothing."

I think Peepers is one of those people who loved music very much, but due to demanding and strict parents (when I say strict parents, I mean UNFAIRLY strict) and other factors this is now not his best experience the consequences of which were the complexes that he acquired

and hater is incredibly fond of music and singing. I think peepers sees some part of themselves in him and that's why trying to support him and all that

So yeah it's mostly based on the experiences of real people I know..
