One Of The Funniest Things To Come Out Of Tbob Is That I'm Now Reevaluating My Estimate Of How Much Of

one of the funniest things to come out of tbob is that i'm now reevaluating my estimate of how much of Bill's interest in Ford is because Ford worships him versus because Stanford "why did Rudolph not simply kill the other reindeer" Pines is a barely-restrained vengeful mad scientist.

kill 'character did nothing wrong'. nurture 'character did everything wrong and i was whooping and cheering the whole time'

IM LOSING MY MIND?? WHERE DID THE BREAD COME FROM. WHY IS IT SIDEWAYS. WHAT IS HAPPENING

wanted to make a longer comic about how Bill gets his new hat in my fic! TBOB has given me a lot of fun new angst to explore, lol.

i think Bill wouldn’t actually tell Mabel the story behind the piece of his dimension, he’d just show it off because it’s shiny and he knows she’ll think it’s cool. but it’s not too hard for Mabel to tell it means a lot to him, especially after he loses it. so she goes and finds it because she’s an awesome friend like that

no bc ford and bill's falling out is so silly to me because its like. ford's obsession with bill was the closest to "religious" that he's ever tread, and that kind of betrayal was earth shattering and hurt ford in a way he had NEVER been hurt before, causing him to completely mentally and emotionally unravel. meanwhile bill is like "can we talk 🥺" as if he hasn't been using ford for years, and when it became clear ford hated his ass bill got so drunk he forgot his mom was dead. what an INSANE dynamic to establish 8 years after the show ended.
