He Was CRYING

he was CRYING

Ok but the fact it’s basically implied that Bill regrets / feels bad about destroying his dimension and basically shows signs of trauma from thinking about it (he says the memories are all fucked up and he passes out when thinking about it for too long) is SO interesting

And later in the book of him talking to Ford about it he says it got destroyed ‘by a monster’ and Ford writes ‘Bill looked distant, more distant than I’ve ever seen him.’ Is so AHSHSGHSGEHEHE

THE BOOK OF BILL: decoded message masterpost

now it's officially released, here's nearly all the codes in order. cataloguing these all in the same place for my convenience, i recommend solving these for yourself first. major spoilers for the entire book below the cut, obviously. continue reading at your own risk.

Call me crazy, but I think he just needs a hug

Someone to care

Maybe I'm on the wrong side here, but I genuinely want Bill to have a good connection with someone someday

Someone who can help him be better person though, I'm sure it's possible

Am I the only one who feels bad for him ?
