So cool!

[late barn]

Yo we hit 1000??!! 🔥🔥🔥

[scenic pagoda]

YEP!

[left ginkgo]

Win

[late barn]

a rough layout of what a shot is gonna look like

considering redrawing this background to get a better fisheye

[white pine]

OOG

OH MY GOAG

THATS PRETTY

[late barn]

TYSM

[meager kelp]

oo love that his scar is still visible even as a silhouette

all the gradients of color is so beautiful too

[late barn]

did some work on the rendering

[left ginkgo]

ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how the blue streak on bills body kinda looks like a shooting star

[late barn]

ooh yeah

I decided I wanted his scar to glow

leak

[left ginkgo]

||his ass is not ready for the rapture||

[scenic pagoda]

Oooooooh!!!!!

[late barn]

stop 😭

[buoyant lichen]

This kinda reminds me of that scene in Coraline where she was crawling through that portal thing

[late barn]

ooh yeah

it makes more sense when you see the whole animation I promise 😭

[buoyant lichen]

So excited for it this looks amazing

[meager kelp]

this is gonna be so cool arro

I'm in such awe at the quality you're putting out

like everything you've shared as been like mindblowing

[late barn]

TYSM 😭

I'm pouring my soul into it fr

[left ginkgo]

pace yourself and allat

out of curiosity how long do you feel an episode is or do you not know yet

[late barn]

3 to 5 minutes I think

[left ginkgo]

awesome

[late barn]

maybe more if its a plot heavy one but like I divided the first story into two episodes for example

Its a lot easier on me that way

[left ginkgo]

thats wise

[meager kelp]

a 3 to 5 minute animation would take me like half a year I think 💀

[late barn]

I used to think that but then I made that accident animation in like a week and I was like "oh shoot thats right I can animate"

I was trying to make fugitive bill a comic but it just. wasn't. working.

But I think it was meant to be a show

[meager kelp]

so you decided to do something even harder lol

[late barn]

yes

[meager kelp]

that's amazing though

I think one of the first animations I did was around 2 minutes and it took me like 3 months

[late barn]

wow

the first animation I ever did sucked

[meager kelp]

I'm gonna have to look into what program you use

because I think that's a big limitation for me rn

[meager kelp]

same lmao

[late barn]

I use firalpalca but any other program with an onion skin mode should work fine

[meager kelp]

yeah krita has onion skins but you have to manually do every in between

which is fine when starting out and learning but it's grueling now lol

[late barn]

you do on firealpalca too

[meager kelp]

then I have no idea how you make stuff so fast 🤣

[late barn]

idk I just draw fast 😭

actually its a skill I learned by being a really impatient animator

[meager kelp]

it's an amazing skill to have

lol

[white pine]

OFC

[thorn rose]

why does he have that exploding head emoji expression so much help this man 💔

[late barn]

I would but... character development 😔

[meager kelp]

this is helping him!

by making him suffer

[late barn]

In the end it's for his own good

Also I like watching him suffer

[soft night]

I feel like I missed a lot guys…

[late barn]

Sorry for not posting a lot guys I promise I'm cooking

[meager kelp]

no worries! take your time!

[scenic pagoda]

Dw!!! :3

[late barn]

K this isn't that good so far because I'm just learning FL studio but 😭

I'm making a demo for what I want the soundtrack to sound like

Sorry about the mixing too It sounded better with headphones 😭

[meager kelp]

isn't that good you say 😂

I dig it. I love all the layers to it. I don't know the music term for it or whatever

but every time the song the changes a bit and adds in a new element

that's really good

[late barn]

Tysm!! It's really fun to layer different sounds on top of each other

Definetly my favorite part of making music digitally

[meager kelp]

yeah you do it often enough to keep up interest

I can imagine a narrative going along with it

the shifts happening as a new beat in the plot unfolds

[late barn]

It's gonna be interesting trying to learn how to score something because it has to be in time with the video

[meager kelp]

I'm not sure which would be easier making the music first and scripting around that or the reverse

I suppose it'd have to be music secondary

[late barn]

Yeah

When I'm editing I kinda figure out the timing as I go so soundtrack kinda has to come last

[late barn]

I need a name for this guy

[meager kelp]

looking at him makes me think of that movie Rango so maybe something referencing that?

[meager kelp]

Also gives me a smidge of Randall from Monsters Inc

[late barn]

I need to re-watch that movie 😭 but I was thinking about doing something similar to the scene where he's in the saloon and he's bluffing to everyone with bill

Idk tho

Also fugitive Bill core fr 😭

Not just bill either like literally everyone in this show

And Ergo is just like "yeah uh no that's trauma"

[meager kelp]

I really need to rewatch the movie too

but yeah that scene fits really well

[meager kelp]

you know how characters in westerns always have nicknames? For some reason I feel like people would call him "snake Eyes" or "Rattlesnake" even though he's not even a reptile

[left ginkgo]

im on my arcane arc

I want to call them ekko

it doesnt even make sense

I just like the name

[meager kelp]

lol ethos ergo and ekko

[left ginkgo]

oh my god

[late barn]

I should just give everyone in the show E names at this point 😭

Pull an odd squad

Bill is no longer named bill his name is evan

[late barn]

The names... Bill

[meager kelp]

And then everyone fights over him to claim his bounty lol

[buoyant lichen]

Ngl, I know this line of thought is a joke, but what about Eli?

I don't know why but that kinda fits skdkrmhm

[late barn]

Yeah he does kinda feel like an Eli

But I should probably lay off on the e names 😭

[late barn]

Idk if anyone here is into music talk but I'm really stuck on what bills theme is gonna be

Like because In gravity falls he's like just rising Shepard tones and a bunch of weird synths and not only would that not match the tone of fugitive Bill but he's the protagonist

Bills music in the show is intended to make him feel weird/beyond our comprehension. But I'm trying to make him feel real and human

[meager kelp]

you could have elements of that when he's acting more like his old self and have something different come in in moments he's changing

[late barn]

Hmm

There could be a few moments where I could use some similar motifs to the show but idk how often I could go to that well

I had a chord progression come into my head and then I immediately forgot it 😭

I think there's a keyboard at my school I can try some stuff out there

[meager kelp]

I'm sure you'll figure out something good. Wish I could help more but I really know nothing about music lol

[late barn]

That's okay I'll figure something out

Maybe he dosen't need a theme

[meager kelp]

he's got a theme but it's outside the human range of hearing so we can't hear it

[late barn]

LMAO 😭

[late barn]

Crappy doodle

[meager kelp]

"Pain in the angle" LMAO

yes more of that

[left ginkgo]

He’s so silly

[late barn]

He's the silliest

[scenic pagoda]

I love this xD

[rain peak]

I’m still wondering how he even escaped in the first place.

I mean you would think that an Extra-dimensional Multiversal Rehabilitation Center for The Most Dangerous and Downright Maniacal Threats to Reality wouldn’t be so easy to breach as simply you going:
“Ha! I got your guns!! Later SUCKERS…!!!” Ya know?

Also, why doesn’t Bill just return to the Mindscape? His physical body is left on Gravity Falls. You would think once he’s free, hopping back into the Mindscape and then just floating around in there until he made his way back to Earth would be the ideal strategy. Especially considering we don’t know if the Dimensional Authorities even have a backdoor to the Mindscape like Bill does.

[late barn]

I think that bill has a physical body in the theraprism, at least for the sake of the story. His breakout was something he took who knows how long to plan after the theraprism drained his powers as a punishment. Also I'm okay with it not lining up perfectly with what the creators intended, I'm telling a story that is meaningful to me and thats what matters

[forest summit]

would this be like a sci-fi/cyberpunk style au?

[late barn]

yeah

[forest summit]

i saw the clip posted (44 second one) and it looks amazing so far

if you need any help with it, id be happy to help, though its ok if not

[late barn]

I've decided not to start asking for help until I have a couple episodes done, that way people know I'm serious

sometimes I ask for plot help and syuff in this chat tho so stay tuned

[forest summit]

Ok, cool. Im also doing a bill au comic with the henchmaniacs and alternate versions, so im also busy with my own comics

[late barn]

ooh you should post a thread about It I'd love to read it

[forest summit]

im working on the alternate comics, im nothappy with the art style, but my judgement is flawed

I might start a threat tho

[late barn]

cant open on my computer but I WILL check it out when I can

[forest summit]

👍

wrong link sorry https://discord.com/channels/149167686159564800/1316546419498291260

[crude sand]

This is fire 🔥

[left ginkgo]

cook

[late barn]

Yoo thanks bro

[finite elbow]

bill in his lil hoodie is so cute i am crying

[late barn]

He's objectively adorable

[late barn]

Been working super hard on this show, will try and do a couple doodles today for yall

[left ginkgo]

Fire

[severe yarrow]

HE IS SO FASHIONABLE

[severe yarrow]

Labyrinth by Miracle Musical makes me think of Fugitive Bill

[left ginkgo]

it seems to make people think of bill in general

[late barn]

Yeah

It's interesting with the labirynth thing tho because usually it's someone trapped inside the mind but in fugitive Bill it's completley literal

[warped geode]

Wow, I just read it, and it's soo good wow

[late barn]

guys ima do a doodle page

what do yall want me to draw

[meager kelp]

bill grinching it up in the mountains because he can't risk going into town and getting caught

[late barn]

you mean like during christmas or just in general (little confused by this expression sorry 😭)

[meager kelp]

sorry lol you could make it festive or not. Basically Bill hiding out

[late barn]

got it

[left ginkgo]

bill and his beloved wanted posters

[meager kelp]

omg yes

[late barn]

YES

plot twist: its not a wanted poster. he's at an interdimexican restraunt

[meager kelp]

oh that's perfect

[late barn]

any more suggestions?

[meager kelp]

I'd love to see more of the other characters like Dr. Ergo and Ethos

[late barn]

OH WAIT

came up with a backstory for ethos

[meager kelp]

ooo

[late barn]

basically she was a human in like, the 60s but then she found a working portal attempt and she was really curious but she somehow broke the portal while also getting sucked inside. bill got really pissed at her and tried to kill her but she was rescued by the axolotl who made her immortal and gave her a job at the theraprism where she spent who knows how long because I think theraprism time is faster than earth time

[meager kelp]

I like that! So she and Bill have history then

[late barn]

yeah

because that gives her motivation to hunt bill down

and bills kinda just like "I feel like I know you"

[meager kelp]

lol that's how little he cared

and like gives Ethos a potential forgiveness arc

[late barn]

yeah

its also because I think bill wouldn't quite reckonize her as an immortal

and like

[meager kelp]

her appearance probably changed

was she also known as Ethos when mortal?

[late barn]

nah

I think she probably was named like julie or something idk

I'm leaning towards julie

[meager kelp]

I like Julie

[late barn]

yeah me too

[meager kelp]

would be cool to see her as a mortal

[late barn]

I think she'll become mortal again because thats a theme of the story

[meager kelp]

I also think it'd be cool to somehow tie her into Ciphertology. Not that she was a member but maybe the portal was the remains of that one?

[late barn]

and I'll have an episode on her backstory

[late barn]

idk I kinda wanted her to live on the east coast

my idea is that its during the space race

which I'm SURE bill was messing with

[meager kelp]

oh absolutely

[late barn]

I also think it would be really funny if when they're on better terms ethos is like "so do humans have mars colonies yet?" and bill is like nah and then explains the space shuttle program. and she's like "oh that sucks" and bills like "yeah it was my idea btw"

[meager kelp]

lol that's really good

they'd have a really interesting dynamic on good terms

[late barn]

yeah thats why I want that to happen

I have a plan but I don't wanna spoil the plot too much

if you really wanna know tho I could dm you

😭

[meager kelp]

ah that's such a hard choice

I want to know I really really want to know

But

I want the emotional beats to hit

[late barn]

I have been there dude

had to make the exact same choice 😭

[meager kelp]

I'm gonna have restraint for now but I might randomly dm you demanding to know lol

[late barn]

valid

[late barn]

okay here we go

oh btw ladyoutlier im so sorry but I couldn't figure out how to to do your request as a doodle 😭

[meager kelp]

OH that's so good! I didn't know you were doing colors for these 👀

and lol no worries it was out there

[left ginkgo]

dude hes worth five morbillion smackeroos

I could buy a sprite with that

[late barn]

interdimensional inflation is wild bro

[meager kelp]

going off of that image

one of Bill in disguise wearing one of these
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Q7iQhFfoL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg

[left ginkgo]

YEAHHHH

and hes like walking past the cops

"officers."
"hello sir."

[meager kelp]

obv only has one eye

[left ginkgo]

a few days later
"HEY NOW WAIT A SECOND"

[meager kelp]

or maybe the other one hangs off the side of his head

[buoyant lichen]

No no him wearing that and holding a newspaper-

[meager kelp]

whichever is funnier

[late barn]

wearing one of those with only one eye and no nose is diabolical

[left ginkgo]

love that

[left ginkgo]

dress for the body you want

not the one you have

[late barn]

bill secretly wants to be human confirmed

honestly tho in fugitive bill he kinda does because humans aren't laughably short

[left ginkgo]

and we got

fingers

shoutout to evolution those were a good idea

[thorn rose]

i love it when people just make bill a little guy

[buoyant lichen]

He's dwarf size in this AU. At least, to me lol

[left ginkgo]

forced to disguise as a garden gnome

hates every second of it

[late barn]

honestly even I couldn't have bill stoop that low

[left ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/sniper-tf2-professionals-have-standards-drive-gif-15105282

[late barn]

lmao yeah 😭

also I can't figure out how to draw the glasses thing sorry guys

[thorn rose]

if we go off the size of exuhylia (idk how to spell it) in journal 3 then his original form was TINY

smaller than an actual dorito

[late barn]

yeah

couldn't do that because then the story wouldn't work😭

[thorn rose]

true 😭

[meager kelp]

he's perfect sized

[forest summit]

bite sized

[meager kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gif-25117042

[buoyant lichen]

This is gold lol

[left ginkgo]

WHY YO NOSE SO BIG

can smell the opps coming

[meager kelp]

has to match how big his eye is lmao

or alternatively, it's all normal sized but he's smol

[late barn]

LMAO IT'S SO CURSED I LOVE IT 😭

[late barn]

me when I realise I need to make a logo

💀

I've been messing around with fonts but I feel like it should be hand drawn

Okay I sketched some out tell me what yall think

[meager kelp]

Definitely the first one or second imo!

I really like the triangle for Bill in the first

[left ginkgo]

I like the backdrop of 1 but the style of 2

leaning toward 1

[meager kelp]

I fell like 1 might still need to say Bill instead of just the triangle

Maybe a sort of combination of 1 and 2?

[left ginkgo]

thats what im thinking

[scenic pagoda]

Yeah I think that'd be good too-

[warped geode]

Yeah a combo would look nice

[forest summit]

maybe a futuristic font with red/blue outline and the triangle would have a yellow outline?

[late barn]

Alright gonna work on the final logo after school thanks for the input guys 👍

[late barn]

Fugitive Bill is basically just me being the dad in Calvin and hobbes, throwing bill out in the snow and then telling him it builds character

[forest summit]

it does tho

[left ginkgo]

CALVIN AND HOBBES MENTION

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

WHAT THE FUCK IS A BAD COMIC‼️

[solar jolt]

yo sorry im so late but that looks fucking cool

[late barn]

PREACH 🔥

how we feeling about it so far?

[left ginkgo]

looks like something id see at a nightclub

I dig it

B in bill looks odd

[late barn]

yeah I agree

idk if its the right vibe

I want it to feel like an action movie

and yeah it kinda just feels like a nightclub

idk maybe this?

making a logo is so hard you guys

[meager kelp]

I feel like the lines of the text need to be thicker than the lines of the triangle to make it stand out more

[buoyant lichen]

Also, and this is just me, but maybe the triangle can be a little more translucent?

[meager kelp]

With the gradient you put on the triangle, it reminds me of a spotlight. Like maybe a search light you see at prisons? Maybe could play into that?

[late barn]

Yes

I dunno I'm not satisfied with it

Will workshop it some more today

[left ginkgo]

It’s getting there

A considerable step up for surw

The triangle gradient is cool

[forest summit]

THIS LOOKS SO COOOOLL

[late barn]

Yeah I agree I think I'll keep it

Might make the text different tho

[warped geode]

Oooh nice! This looks amazing

[crude sand]

AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩

I think the triangle should be transparent and not the the text, but it's still very cool

Also, like Lady Outlier said, maybe make it a spotlight?

An animation with the spotlight going left to right and revealing the text would be really cool

But I understand if it's too much work

[late barn]

Yeah I've been thinking about that

I could do that but it might be a bit too flashy

Also the text wasn't actually transparent, each layer has a clipping layer of the gradient triangle on it that's set to add

But I can see how it would give that effect

[late barn]

WOAH MY NAME TURNED RED

How did I not notice that

[warped geode]

Nice! You levelled up!

[meager kelp]

Finally a Mystery Twin! You can see #mystery-lounge now

[late barn]

Neat

[late barn]

how are we feeling about this logo?

I think I like it more personally

[meager kelp]

oh that's it! I LOVE it

with the extra lines in the triangle for sure

[late barn]

Good to know

Now I get to animate it into the opening scene

[buoyant lichen]

The 80s is strong with this one I love it

[left ginkgo]

like it

looks good

[late barn]

new icon just dropped

[left ginkgo]

OH YEAH

SILLOUETTES!!!

[late barn]

HELL yeah

wait maybe i should make his eye bigger just a sec

wahit nevermind ima keep it as is

[left ginkgo]

yeah it works pretty well

maybe give it a shine

if its animated

[late barn]

Its not but that would be cool

[left ginkgo]

fair enough

whats it for

because I know the text stuff is for the intro

[late barn]

just to have

tumblr and stuff

if I ever make an account for it on anything else too

[left ginkgo]

fair

looks nice though

excited for the future

[late barn]

me too

https://www.tumblr.com/fugitivebillau

blog just upgraded

[meager kelp]

I LOVE IT AHHHHHHHHHHHH

THAT IS SO COOL

[late barn]

TYSM

[warped geode]

Wow they look amazing!!!

[crude sand]

That is AMAZING!!! I love his silhouette with the glowing parts

[forest summit]

I LOVE THISSSSSS AHDJJSNDBUSYBD

[zealous prairie]

That looks so awesome
This is a really cool AU

[late barn]

Tysm!!

[zealous prairie]

Your welcome

[scenic pagoda]

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

[worldly grove]

Love the new logo, it's really cool with the silhouette

[late barn]

wip of something stupid that I probably won't finish 😭

also fyi im leaving for seattle tommorow and I won't be back for like a week, I can still chat and I'l send doodles and stuff, but no big art updates

[meager kelp]

That is so good lmao

You've gotta post that right after a really intense emotional beat in the story

To give us a breather

[late barn]

LMAO 😭

Put it in the credits after the season finale

Give everyone whiplash

[meager kelp]

and no worries! Everyone's busy this time of year

[meager kelp]

YESSSS

[white pine]

what if f!bill was added in the middle of the logo (him running) 👀

[late barn]

I thought of that, but idk I'm kinda a sucker for simplicity

[white pine]

a small tiny silhouette of him though

[white pine]

i see that

[late barn]

I should test it out sometime

Maybe on a special episode

[white pine]

that looks like a great idea, also btw has ur au gained traction over on insta and tumblr?

i want ur au to be popular it genuinely has a cool concept

[late barn]

Yeah! It definitely has a little traction on tumblr, I'd say a pretty good amount as the story hasn't even started yet 😭

And THANK you I really appreciate the support ❤️

[white pine]

yeah ofc!

[buoyant lichen]

Ngl genuinely surprised it isn't popular yet. It's so well thought out and the art is just amazing

[late barn]

It's probably just because I don't post frequently enough

Idk if people outside of this server have enough material on it

Just gotta bide my time ig

[scenic pagoda]

I can't see the video for some reason. It's just a black screen. ;3;

I'm sure it's good tho.

[late barn]

Nooo 😭

It was just a dumb thing I animated to bill cipher has a gun

If you really wanna see it I could dm you the one drive link maybe?

[left ginkgo]

fugitive bill bloopers

[late barn]

LITERALLY

What if I animated bloopers like the old Pixar movies did

[left ginkgo]

would be a silly thing to attatch to the ending of your episodes

[left ginkgo]

those had so much charm

[late barn]

I love giving people whiplash

[left ginkgo]

especially when they just riffed in character

[left ginkgo]

everyone fucking dies and bills alone again

[late barn]

YEAH

[left ginkgo]

and he just starts

talking about whatever

randomly

that would be so funny

that whole gun sequence

after a tragic episode

would just really put it all together

[late barn]

Bill says something wrong and everyone laughs

It would be so cute

[left ginkgo]

yeah absolutely

plus the little beepbeep

inbetween bloopers

[late barn]

YEAH

Have one where the entire background is just greenscreen

[meager kelp]

omg please do that!! I loved those pixar bloopers

[late barn]

Idk if I would have the capacity to do those, maybe after finales I'll do a couple

[scenic pagoda]

Ah okay xD

I wanna see it :3

Also BLOOPERS HELL YEAH xD

[raw shore]

This is a really fun concept lol

[late barn]

Tysm!!

[thorn rose]

all the new updates are fire as usual wonderful thing to see after not being able to use my phone on vacation

[late barn]

Oh btw I've been working on a crossover with #1319869286923243712

[left ginkgo]

Oh that’s massive

I thought it was really cool and had a similar art style

[late barn]

Human fugitive Bill just dropped

[left ginkgo]

is that a soul patch

[late barn]

Dude idk what it is

[meager kelp]

only one issue. He's too tall lol

[late barn]

LMAO 😭

[scenic pagoda]

Nice :0

[raw shore]

YOOO 🔥

[late barn]

Oh just had a thought about this. If bill was human I think he'd be around average height, but id increase the height of aliens around him and use camera angles to make him feel small

[meager kelp]

That's smart

[forest summit]

hi do you mind if i make fanart of your au? I love cyberpunk/fugitive stories and aus

[meager kelp]

I'm sure she wouldn't mind! Plenty of us have lol

[late barn]

Ofc!!!

[worldly grove]

I keep forgetting that this is here, and I keep falling behind, it's very annoying

Hope you are having fun in Seattle tho

[late barn]

I'm in BC now actually, and no worries!

[worldly grove]

Oh, you get my point tho, hope your having fun

[late barn]

Getting home tommorow morning

[crude sand]

Interesting! I would ask what it is, but it's probably spoilers

[left ginkgo]

taking a stab at it

its a crystal reflection cave

which would probably lead to existencial dread

[crude sand]

I think it's some kind of palace idk

[late barn]

This is such a good idea, in reality my brother just told me to draw bill in a church and I ran with it 😭

[left ginkgo]

ohh

[crude sand]

How did he enter a church tho did they not spray holy water at him 😭

[left ginkgo]

sentenced to sunday school

https://tenor.com/view/judge-gavel-hit-order-in-the-court-court-gif-7733506

[late barn]

LMAO

Nah more for dramatic effect like in hunchback if Notre dame

He's safe in there

[crude sand]

Good for him I thought he couldn't even step inside 😭

[late barn]

I don't see why not

He's not a demon at least anymore

And he wasn't as big of a deal as he thought he was

There are many dimensions where he isn't even thought of

[left ginkgo]

bill pleading sanctuary while the opps are after him is hilarious

turns to the camera "I saw this trick in a movie once"

[late barn]

YEAH

Idk if he's allowed to break the fourth wall anymore tho

Maybe

[crude sand]

Dimensions that don't know about dimensional travelling probably, since they don't know what he did in the Nightmare Realm

[late barn]

Yeah

And there are a lot of dimensions like that luckily

But also the multiverse is big

Like really big

And I bet there are places that still barely knew of Bill despite having interdimensional travel

[crude sand]

Omg that would be so funny like:
"You've been watching me for months now, would you mind giving me hand?!"

[crude sand]

Probably dimensions where portals don't lead to the Nightmare Realm but directly to other dimensions

[late barn]

Yeah have him break the fourth wall but make it desperate and pathetic like TBOB

[crude sand]

Exactly

[late barn]

And I'm sure lots of different kinds of interdimensional travel have been invented

[left ginkgo]

to be fair

him breaking the THIRD wall caused all of his problems to begin with

[forest summit]

thats so cool i can barely draw a straight line 😭

[late barn]

Thanks bro I love your art tho ❤️

[forest summit]

thx ❤️

[late barn]

GUYS I JUST REALISED SOMETHING HILARIOUS

[left ginkgo]

yeah?

[late barn]

OKAY so bill NEVER DISCONNECTED HIMSELF FROM THE BOOK OF BILL.

[crude sand]

He was connected?

[late barn]

Yeah that's how Tbob works right?

You're kinda connected to a personalized version of bills stream of counciousness

[crude sand]

Idk??

[left ginkgo]

doesnt this imply hes cutting out

[late barn]

I always took it as he has stopped talking to the reader, less than the book not working altogether

And even if it stopped working for us, it didn't stop working for the pines necessarily

And now that bill isn't trying to get people to let him out and he mightve kinda forgotten about the book altogether, whoever has their hands on the book has a fun scrapbooky guide to how bills knees hurt and he's thirsty and he hates himself

Which I just think is kinda funny

[crude sand]

I kinda thought that he made the book in the Theraprism with those specific contents (if you are lucky enough to get them in your personalised version)

It would be interesting if it's connected to his mind tho

[late barn]

Idk that's what I kinda interpreted

At least it's my headcannon

[crude sand]

It would be funny ngl

But it would still be pathetic for him like TBOB 😭

[late barn]

It would

Bill would be humiliated if he found out that someone had it

Especially if the pines had it

[crude sand]

If they ever find him

[late barn]

Yeah

[meager kelp]

I feel like you could use the book to track him down

[late barn]

Yeah I was thinking about that

Maybe I could introduce a character that way

[meager kelp]

some obsessed stalker lol

[crude sand]

Oh yeah, he'd probably say something like "I hate this place" and describe it 😭

[crude sand]

Ooh that would be fun

[late barn]

I hate this dimension it's approximately 10° Fahrenheit but the windchill makes it way worse. There are these big stone pillars ina circle around the valley I'm in, think biblically accurate Stonehenge. There's a town off to the left but I have enough food to last me a bit and I can't risk getting caught. I wanna find shelter but this place is so flat, it's like a salt flat. This wind is making me wanna kill. My feet are cold. My eye hurts I think I've been squinting too much. I hate myself

[meager kelp]

that's brilliant lol

[late barn]

Idk i was thinking about this mostly because I wanted an excuse to make fugitive Bill style pages for tbob and I realised it would actually make sense

Also what would be really funny is if he found out that someone had it and he was so embarrassed and tried to destroy it but it kept coming back and he was like "shit I've cursed myself"

[meager kelp]

just imagining he pops into some dimension where everybody there is following along with his story. like it's all over the news and everyone's waiting on the next update

[late barn]

LMAO

[meager kelp]

oopsie accidentally started another cult

[late barn]

He's become truman

[meager kelp]

lol yeah exactly

[forest summit]

or worse, he sees the fanart

[late barn]

hell naw 💀

[late barn]

Oh btw guess who's home from Canada

[forest summit]

IT IS DONE
i love how it turned out tbh

[late barn]

AY

WHY DID YOU COOK

SO HARD

YOU COOK THEN YOU DEVOURED

HOLY SHIT

[forest summit]

TYYY

[meager kelp]

ooo sick! Gives me Spiderverse vibes

[late barn]

ooh yeah

bill into the bill verse would be crazy tho

[meager kelp]

it really would

but also would be neat to see all the different versions of Bill people have come up with interacting

[late barn]

i know fugitive bill would hate having to around that many bills

okay hear me out (this is a joke idea btw) bill classic ends up having to go on an adventure with fugitive bill, i!bill and handyman bill and they all totally humble him

[meager kelp]

I can't even imagine how'd they do that

He'd probably be like Thanks suckers for telling me how you lost. Now I know not to do that

[late barn]

imagine if they just witheld that imformation from him tho

out of complete pettiness

[meager kelp]

lmao

[late barn]

they just cryptically tell him hes headed for the same fate and refuse to elaborate

[meager kelp]

there'd have to be some fear of classic Bill given that he isn't stripped of his powers even if they're all hiding it

[late barn]

yeah probably

[meager kelp]

probably why they'd refuse to tell him how they were beat because then they actually have something over him

[late barn]

yeah

fugitive bill also has a gun tho so

[meager kelp]

he's just have to not miss like Ford lol

[late barn]

lmao yeah

"hey you okay?" "yeah I just shot myself in the face I feel great"

his aim is getting better

oh btw im making a shiny new reference sheet for bill rn

[meager kelp]

oh really?

[late barn]

yea

and hopefully some other stuff too

[meager kelp]

a height chart for the characters would be really cool!

[late barn]

YEAH

yeah i need to do that

because their height varies wildly

ethos is crazy tall

[meager kelp]

it'd help so much for making fanart of multiple characters together too

[forest summit]

not me vibing with my own au bill 💀

[forest summit]

all the bills would be terrified of tumblr sexyman bill, change my mind

[meager kelp]

true

[late barn]

theyd gang up on him

one common enemy

[meager kelp]

also a lot of hate for him because of his popularity

[forest summit]

"they ruined his reputation"

[meager kelp]

https://i.imgur.com/SoouOCS.png

funniest image to come out of tbob

[forest summit]

the fact that bill awknowledges the existence of tumblr sexyman bill implies he's seen his fanart

[meager kelp]

no wonder he's the way he is

[forest summit]

i would go insane too

[late barn]

it totally validates my past self trying to navigate the gravity falls fandom through google images💀

[forest summit]

im so sorry

i didnt listen to the warnings on tumblr and i accidentally saw some nasty crap

im scarred

i just wanted to see some fanart of a kids show 😭

[meager kelp]

tumblr sexyman Bill made me hate all human Bill's for a long time lol

[late barn]

real💀

[late barn]

same

[forest summit]

im trying to make a humanoid design for bill that reflects the whole "interdimensional anomaly/demon" vibe

[late barn]

YEAH

[meager kelp]

👏 Bill would not be a twink 👏

[forest summit]

rather than human with blonde hair

[meager kelp]

He's an abomination

[forest summit]

ive seen two designs that are pretty cool, ill try to find them

[late barn]

I imagine him to be skinny but like bony looking

[forest summit]

this is a cool au and "human design"

[meager kelp]

I love that AU so much 😭

[late barn]

I LOVE IT

[forest summit]

SAMEE

[late barn]

SHAPE THEORY

IS IMMACULATE

[forest summit]

i already looked through the whole thing today 😭

[forest summit]

is that an au?

[late barn]

nah

its an art term'

[meager kelp]

I'm desperate for the next update

[late barn]

fire au name tho

[forest summit]

OHH THAT ONE

[late barn]

could someone send me the link?

[forest summit]

im also desperate to see more of this silly au

[meager kelp]

from this account
https://intistone.tumblr.com/

They do other stuff to so the AU is mixed in

[forest summit]

im not obsessed
im not obsessed
im not obsessed

[late barn]

oh Ive seen that one that ones cute

[forest summit]

also this design and artstyle's neat

[late barn]

gives studio ghibli

[forest summit]

real

[meager kelp]

oh yeah that one's really cool. Where's it from?

[forest summit]

idk tbh

[meager kelp]

found this post with it from 9 years ago
https://alternatefalls.tumblr.com/post/122330960381/joseon-au

[forest summit]

oh nice

i think also from same au

[late barn]

ooh

[meager kelp]

THAT'S SO COOL

I LOVE IT OMG BRILLIANT

COOLEST THING EVER FOR REAL

how do you make a reference sheet look so beautiful?? 😭

[late barn]

TYSMM BRO

[late barn]

no idea this is the best one I've made 😭

[meager kelp]

it's so nice you really cooked

[forest summit]

THIS IS FIRE

[late barn]

TYSM

😭

[scenic pagoda]

This is so cool!!!! :D

Also I just had an idea where Fugitive Bill ends up going to the ATS (A Triangle in the Stars, aka my AU) dimension, and he may or may not meet the Bill there- :3

[buoyant lichen]

...Brain blast. Avengers poster but it's different Bills from different AUs.

[late barn]

YES. YES. YES.

[late barn]

Oooh yeah👀

Idk how much of a help I'll be tho I haven't seen Steven universe yet 😭

[scenic pagoda]

Yee!! :D

Omg you totally should! it's a good show imo :3

[scenic pagoda]

HELL YEAH

[late barn]

Don't have Hulu tho I'd have to pirate it or buy it or something

I'll figure it out

[scenic pagoda]

Aight! :3

Can't wait!

[restive flower]

Okay, i ACCIDENTALY found this discussion(help this server is so big my brain is panicing) and. OMG Is an actual fugitive bill au creator here?!!! 👀👀👀

I love this AU and finding this place was a HUGE luck aaaaa

[late barn]

Yep, that's me! Whassup

[restive flower]

*dies*
HI! I follow your AU on tumblr, didnt know about this place and kimda exploded from excitment when i saw all these fugitive Bill drawings i never saw before

I dont have much energy in general, so im choosing what to put it in, and with all the AUs out there right now, Fugitive Bill is one of the three AUs im following, so im REALLY invested into it 🤩

Aaaa wish i could send arts i did on this AU but too low lvl rn,, guess gotta keep yapping

[late barn]

Yeah I've seen some of your stuff on tumblr please send it when you can it's so good 😭

[restive flower]

I wonder if the art link will work..

https://www.tumblr.com/emptygoldstudio/767167697089904640/i-love-how-2-bill-ciphers-aus-i-adore-and?source=share

Thats the most i can sent now 😭

[late barn]

okay but guys seriously go look at his art its so fire

[restive flower]

Honestly, i will be staying on this server just for this channel<3
Life is busy. All this reminds me a bit of when i was a teen and could spend all free time on my AUs and characters and stories

[forest summit]

NOT ME SEEING THIS A FEW DAYS AGO AND THINKING "wow they like the exact same aus as me"

[restive flower]

Will it be okay if i'll be proposing some of my ideas for this AU?

[late barn]

hell yes

go for it

[restive flower]

I had thoughts for months but never drew and posted anything due to not wanting my random ideas be mixed with official tumblr blog stuff. This channel fixes that :D

[late barn]

lets goo

[restive flower]

Also, yeah, i already went through the whole chat and read everything (fast looked 20%) and caught on on almost everything so HELL YEAH

Ok, this one came up while i was reading chat and its a silly one - so ladyoutlier did that animation with Bill in ice desert, throwing drink in a fire and said fire is feeds off the drawings of red and blue triangles
What if throughout the series Bill just keeps getting those drawings from his jacket for fire, writing etc. And they just. Never end
Bill, when used like 500,000+ paper sheets with the drawings of his dead parents, and DIDNT BAT AN EYE ONCE how in the hell it fitted in there and where it keeps coming from

[late barn]

LMAO 😭

he didn't just take a couple he took all of them

[restive flower]

HE WAS IN THERAPRISM FOR SO LONG LOL

[late barn]

YEAH 😭 💀

[restive flower]

And to answer how they all fit in there - Axolotl is a prankster. Little did he know that Bill will be the dumb of ass he is to never question a never ending resource

[late barn]

plot twist of the century

[restive flower]

Ax at first "ha it'll be funny" :D
Ax 250 series and 599 dimensions later ':|

[scenic pagoda]

xD

[restive flower]

But - YES - none of them drawings is Ax's duplicate. Its all what Bill drew himself

I just think the sentence "Bill keeps burning his parents again and again throughout the whole run" sounds evilly funny

[restive flower]

God i hope actual Bill never fids out me saying that

So, if i understood it correctly, the series's main focus will be mortality - adaptation to it, questioning, resentment? And that humor is an important part too?(tbh i really wanna see those after episode bloopers)

[late barn]

yep!

[restive flower]

I just want to understand your vision, in what percentage there should be angst/silliness

[late barn]

more angst probably

especially in the actual show

[restive flower]

I see

[forest summit]

interesting

[restive flower]

So like 70/30 ig

[late barn]

yeah

I mean its kinda hard to be funny when you don't even know who you are anymore and you're just trying to make it to the next day without dying or getting taken back to the theraprism 😭

a lot of the humor will be coming from side characters too

[restive flower]

Wow, sounds like me 2 years ago fr /hj
So i think i'll get the hang of this Bill pretty fast

[restive flower]

I want to show more ideas, but the rest of it can be only shown through art. On a good news - im almost lvl 5. On a bad - its 2am, gotta catch some z's

Will Bill ever get another t-shirts? Or he just has that white one? Imagine doing new episode - new t-shirt thing, like with Mabel's sweaters...

[late barn]

imagine the whole show is the same but he's wearing the um im a little different get used to it shirt 😭

[restive flower]

Putting a whole series+ behind the paywall, but the only difference is that shirt gets reanimated in every scene into um im a little deffereng get used to it

[late barn]

yes. yes.

[restive flower]

I cant stop thinking about Bill in wolfs howling at the moon shirt

[late barn]

LMAO HE WOULD

[restive flower]

HE SHOULD

Will Bill have panic attacks? Considering both his mental, mortal and fugitive state, he'd experience it on occasions

[late barn]

yes

[restive flower]

Here i actually drew him going through one but trying to keep it together, cuz he got too close to being caught and had to come up with smth quick (you can see how one of the crystal canines noticed a blood smear on the ground leading to injured Bill's hiding spot and tp device still recharging)

How he got out of this situation? Idk
Funny if he just blacks out and wakes up in a safe place without a memory of escape, like in tbob

[late barn]

that would be kinda crazy

either some interdimensional diety took pity on him or he was completely on autopilot

[left ginkgo]

woah

axolotl and a reindeer

whats that all about

reminds me of fords portal

[late barn]

👁️

[left ginkgo]

hehe

fordal

[buoyant lichen]

'Will Bill have panic attacks?' Oh chat is cooking now, I see.

Get that man hyperventilating. He needs it XD.

[meager kelp]

Ah so the decoding begins I see

[meager kelp]

Outer Ring: ||"One Way One Key"||

[left ginkgo]

what language is that

[meager kelp]

||Theraprism||. But I think the inner ring and outside the rings are 2 new ciphers she's made

[forest summit]

agreed. make him suffer.

[restive flower]

Do we have to spoiler tbob topics here?

[meager kelp]

no but I'm spoilering in case anyone wants to solve this stuff themselves!

[restive flower]

Fair

[restive flower]

Gets his eye all cold and dry with all that hyperventilation

[forest summit]

Make him have a panic attack in a cold, damp alley but he needs to be quiet because the police are looking for him

[restive flower]

Thats pretty much what i drew lol

[forest summit]

oooo great minds think alike

[restive flower]

And like same AUs

[forest summit]

bill and mabel friendship au is peak tbh

[restive flower]

Im aaaalmost at lvl 5, cant wait to just take some silly(or not so silly 👁👁) fugitive bill request

[forest summit]

i'd happily make more fanart tbh i love cyberpunk and fugitive aus

[restive flower]

Just in case - PG-13 means no f-bombs, correct?

[forest summit]

one f-bomb at most

[left ginkgo]

make it a good one

[forest summit]

there can be violence, not too much tho

[restive flower]

Then i'll be censoring some of already-drawn art

[forest summit]

let me see :DD.

[restive flower]

Welp, looks like this server will not see my Medically Abused Bill AU :)

[buoyant lichen]

Oh god lol

[forest summit]

WAIT WHAT???

IS THAT A THERAPRISM AU?

oop gtg cya tomorrow

[restive flower]

Its just in the beginning though, yeah
The main story is how Kryptos tries to save Bill from theraprism, has to ask ||Pines|| for help, and then has to proceeds emotions, that everything that he knew about Bill, person he chose to fully trust years ago, was a lie

I love Kryptos. Can we, please, have fugitive Bill and Kryptos meet at some point?🥺 (i will draw it anyway)

GUESS WHOS LVL 5

[buoyant lichen]

Oh god what happened to his eye

[restive flower]

Hes squinting, its wimdy

Gimmie Fugitive Bill ideas to draw!!!

[late barn]

No spoilers but ||I have literally already written this 😭||

[late barn]

LMAO I LOVE THIS

[left ginkgo]

he looks so goofy I love him

[late barn]

I think there will be a part with the henchmaniacs

[left ginkgo]

oh good I was wondering about that

[restive flower]

HELL YEAH

[meager kelp]

lol captured him perfectly

I've also given up on trying to solve the other codes tonight but I will defeat them yet

[late barn]

Good luck 👁️

[restive flower]

"Snow angel, but i am quite the opposite"

[meager kelp]

snow angle 😇

[meager kelp]

feels perfect for an introspective scene where he's looking up at the stars

[restive flower]

Exactly!

This one from last month. Bill gets alerted by a giant under frozen sea creature in one of the cold dimensions

[meager kelp]

oh that is so sick

looks straight out of a comic

the framing is so good

[left ginkgo]

genuinely pissed

also I love that fish fellow

he looks so "alien" for lack for a better word

[restive flower]

Imagine you surviving on the run and suddenly on a lonely frozen planet theres a loud rumble and earthquake(icequake). MORTAL ALARM

[restive flower]

Thanks! That cross inbetween his 4 eyes opens into a mouth

[left ginkgo]

nifty

[left ginkgo]

snow angel but im snow angel

[meager kelp]

I really wanna see the chase scene that comes from that. The creature bursting through the ice and all that

[left ginkgo]

I was gonna make a snow angle joke but outlier beat me to it

[meager kelp]

lol I did

[left ginkgo]

love your art

[zealous prairie]

That's some cool art right there dude Love it

[buoyant lichen]

I don't know how y'all manage to put so much emotion on a singular eye so props to that too.

[restive flower]

That is the most fun AND challenging part in Bill's design xd
Especially when theres no audio to additionally convey the emotion

[forest summit]

HENCHMANIACS MENTIONED???
(im a henchmaniac fan, they are underrated change my mind)

[forest summit]

magic of body language

and framing

[tired quarry]

FANART!!! gee i do hope this guy isn't traumatized or something

[solar jolt]

I'm sure he isn't. dw

[forest summit]

nice shading

[restive flower]

Hes just chilling 😎

[forest summit]

or has serious mental issues

[restive flower]

naaaah hes fine

[forest summit]

nothing denial cant fix

[late barn]

Iloveitiloveitiloveit

[late barn]

they should duke it out in a waffle house

[late barn]

Literally my favorite part about drawing bill its so fun

[late barn]

Bill is so done I love it

[restive flower]

Bill is actually pretty tempted to shoot Kryptos, as he still holds the grudge, why nobody contacted him while he was locked away
Meanwhile Kryptos thinks "WTF I THOUGHT HE DIED"

"Hes not dead? I can change that" is still my favorite phrase i came up with for Bill

[late barn]

It's very fugitive Bill core for sure

[restive flower]

Very important question!!!
Does Bill wear pants in this one? It always looked for me like has some black pants on

[late barn]

Yeah but I'm not gonna explain how he got them on 😭

[forest summit]

IN A WAFFLE HOUSE 😭

Im going to draw an interdimensional equivalent of waffle house and NO ONE CAN STOP ME

[late barn]

DO IT

[restive flower]

YAY I WASNT DRAWING HIM PANTS ALL THIS TIME FOR NOTHING

[restive flower]

DO IT

[forest summit]

should i focus more on cyberpunk or more sci-fi

[restive flower]

I actually have 2 working theories how Bill can wear pants

[forest summit]

plot twist, theyre just really long socks/leggings

[restive flower]

Isnt cyberpunk a sub-genre of sci fi?🤔

[restive flower]

One of the theories, yes

[forest summit]

yeah, i just dont know whether to make it this sketchy and shitty restaurant or an actually decent place

[restive flower]

I think you should focus more on waffles /j

[late barn]

Both plus retrofuturism

[late barn]

Make it shitty 😭

[forest summit]

not me thinking of steampunk almost immediately

[late barn]

I mean you can make it steampunk, try and stop... You

[restive flower]

To be fair steampunk rules

[forest summit]

agreed

[restive flower]

But retrofuturism fits for AU

[forest summit]

im probably going to make a victorian retrofuturistic au now

[restive flower]

It only sucks that lots of ref pics now are ai and you have to really look into it

[forest summit]

ikr, i just search up victorian attire and add goggles

[restive flower]

Bill should meet some AI during his run

Either evil or very very dumb. To the point where even Bill goes "yeeesh, why was that thing even created"

[late barn]

I actually wrote that but it might happen again who knows 😭

[restive flower]

HA

[forest summit]

reminds me of a joke by a comedian

"ai cant replace us because it needs something to do this; stupidity. You cant teach an AI stupidity, its a gift."

[restive flower]

Amen

[late barn]

Amen

[late barn]

So id like to rip off fae and also do a little qna? So if anyones got any questions for bill fire away 👍

[forest summit]

wait question about the au

is there a different language in the city bill's stuck in?

or a certain cipher?

[left ginkgo]

has he had a favorite/least favorite dimension he visited while on the lamb

[crude sand]

I have two because the first one might be spoilers or you just haven't done it:
Has Bill encountered any beings in his travels that he liked, and (Bonus) have any of those helped him in some way?
How much does Bill sleep at night? (If he sleeps at all lol)

[warped geode]

First question: I know you said this was a joke, but it seems kinda cool - especially fugitive bill meeting i!bill and handyman bill. Do you think you’re going to do anything with it?

Second question (this one is for Bill): Any tips for surviving the multiverse and running around from place to place?

Third question (For Bill again, he doesn’t have to answer this one though): Does he ever think of the Pines and/or Euclidia?

[late barn]

Well he's not stuck in any city, I'm inventing lots of new ciphers for the show and will be using Canon ones too

[forest summit]

which ciphers should i use for the waffle house

[late barn]

Idk whatever fits the vibes

[late barn]

(any questions that aren't directed towards bill I'm just gonna answer now) though it would mess with the shows tone so it probably canonically won't happen I really wanna draw those three more so yeah

[warped geode]

Nice!!!

[meager kelp]

Made any friends along the way? Or more likely, any enemies?

[buoyant lichen]

I've got one for Bill! I've been wondering this for a while, but where'd he get the clothes he's wearing? What's the story behind that? Lol

[late barn]

this is in like the first episode so I can just tell you if you want

[buoyant lichen]

Well sure lol

[late barn]

I was kinda ready to get him out of the jumpsuit so he nearly freezes to death then finds refuge in an empty mall at the edge of the universe

[restive flower]

Please, gimmie some suggestions for fugitive Bill drawing!!

[late barn]

you should draw him on a subway trying not to fall asleep

or a nightmare sequence maybe?

[restive flower]

Every second of his life is a nightmare sequence XD

[late barn]

fr tho 😭

[meager kelp]

that's so fun 😂 you got those done quick

I'm really gonna study how you make Bill so emotive in your art. Try to pick up some things

[meager kelp]

like his expression here is ugh just fantastic

[late barn]

TYSM

that was my favorite one to draw

[meager kelp]

I can see why! Again great job with them

[warped geode]

These are amazing! Your art is so... (happy noises bc my brain doesn't want to do words today)!

[meager kelp]

lol that's how I feel. Then I feel bad because I'm just giving the same kind of compliments

[warped geode]

Lol yeah, I didn't want to copy your compliment, but the expressions are just sooo good

[meager kelp]

they are! the way Arro shapes his eye to convey emotions is just so clean

I tend to overcomplicate stuff like that when drawing characters so it's just so impressive

[warped geode]

Yeah

[scenic pagoda]

I love these a lot!! :D

[late barn]

TYSM BRO 💛

[restive flower]

https://tenor.com/view/art-eaten-art-eat-art-eaten-consumed-gif-3964616362436141214

[restive flower]

Thanks for the food! Real nice thing to wake up to<3<3<3

[left ginkgo]

Context for that?

Also this is so cool

[restive flower]

I wonder if thats connected to another reply with "if you ever hear bells and get THAT feeling - run"

[left ginkgo]

I thought it was a krampus reference somehow

Considering he’s canon in lore

[restive flower]

My guess: Cannibal bunny in a christmas reindeer attire with bells

[left ginkgo]

sounds right especially

With the “don’t question it” response

[restive flower]

Or - i think there is an scp thats a guy with maaany angel wings making him look like a giant pile of wings - imagine a mass of bunnies, fluffy ears out and all, that consumes everything it meets and bells sound is from the fact that they ate Santas sleigh not too long ago and metal of bells was still intact

Is it too much? 🤔

[restive flower]

*to confirm - "mass of bunnies" means one organism here

[forest summit]

I LOVE THIS

[warped geode]

WOW

[scenic pagoda]

HECK YEAH!!!!!

[warped geode]

I got one too (nowhere near as good). This is kinda what I pictured would happen if Fugitive Bill met I!Bill

For whatever reason, my (normally very cutsie) artstyle decided to change completely when I drew Fugitive Bill

[scenic pagoda]

Awesome!!

[late barn]

Rabbit starvation. All I'm gonna say

[late barn]

LOVE IT

[late barn]

AYYY THIS IS FIRE

[restive flower]

Fugitive Bill is so hardcore that even your artstyle couldnt handle it XD

[forest summit]

what if anika starts talking about how bill cipher destroyed a bunch of worlds and crap and since barely anyone on the outer parts of the galaxy didnt know what he looked like and were expecting this edritch lovecraftian monster no one knows that he's the guy that murdered millions

[late barn]

Good thing he's been using a fake name then 😬

[forest summit]

is it will/william?

[restive flower]

It never stops being funny to me. Everyone: "this guy murdered millions 0_0"
At the same time, the guy in question:

[late barn]

Yeah fr 😭

[forest summit]

(keeps forgetting sleep is actually important and just faceplants every 30 minutes)

[late barn]

Probably not, Im guessing he almost always uses a different one

[forest summit]

also

[late barn]

Literally accurate

Every time he finally makes it somwhere safe he just flops over

[forest summit]

im picturing a bunch of people looking down at him (like completely bending over) and going "aw, he's so cute"

[left ginkgo]

him becoming familiar and exhausted by the human condition was explored in sock opera and can be developed here

[left ginkgo]

hes picking a fight and they just pick him up by his scruff and toss him

[forest summit]

tbh who would expect a short dorito chip to be a mass murderer

come to think of it, since he's the last of his species he'd draw a bunch of attention since most people arent used to seeing shapes with legs

[late barn]

Idk kryptos exists

[forest summit]

but he's considered a freak/outcast

[late barn]

Which implies more shape like species

[forest summit]

true

[late barn]

Who knows

[forest summit]

the second dimension dimension also exists

[late barn]

Yeah

Exwhylia

And I bet there are lots of other 2d worlds though they may function differently than euclydia and exwhylia

[forest summit]

i was thinking maybe krypto comes from a computer like world

since he kind of looks like a computer chip of sorts

[late barn]

I think he's meant to look like the freemason symbol but I like that idea

[restive flower]

Hes a massonic compass

[forest summit]

thank you

heres the sketch of the waffle house, i feel like im missing something

[restive flower]

I hc that species, that Kryptos comes from, are more robust and dense in terms of exoskeleton molecules structure and can stand much lower/higher temperatures. I made it for the sake of making fun of freezing Bill while Kryptos just stands there like :) in his gloves. It fits really well with fugitive Bill AU, icluding all the frozen planets: Kryptos LITERALLY doesnt need to wear clothes

[forest summit]

i like that hc, yoink

[restive flower]

That also makes Kryptos great at maintaining space stations - no oxygen, unstably hellish high/low temps, sun radiation? No problem for Kryptos

He just survives it like a champ. And then trips over his own leg and falls face flat

Hes just like that. Dumb and smart at the same time. Just a silly guy. And i love him so much just the way he is

As one person on twitter described how they see Kryptos's personality: "a science professor in their 40's who jokes a lot and just a silly guy in general" and i cant agree more

[buoyant lichen]

We love an accident prone king. Just like me frfr.

[meager kelp]

oh this is so moody I love it!

[meager kelp]

I really love these 2 together so much

[warped geode]

Thank you!! : )

[warped geode]

Lol yes

[late barn]

Just realized I haven't told you guys about space rome

[left ginkgo]

about WHAT

[late barn]

So uh bill gets captured by the interdimensional version of the Roman empire and they force him to do gladiatorial combat

And this is late enough in the show that he's really good and uh, he kinda becomes a celebrity

[buoyant lichen]

Oh fuck yeah

This is literally Thor: Love and Thunder.

And I'm all for it

[late barn]

Totally forgot about that movie 😭

But yeah and ethos is literally going to space rome galas and stuff and Bill is literally there but theraprism can't do shit against the Roman empire 😭

Drives her crazy

[meager kelp]

oh that's sick

Bill finally gets to feel what it's like for people to genuinely like him

really dig the monster design

[late barn]

Yeah and it's a HUGE character moment for him when he voluntarily decides to leave

Because they are just feeding his ego

[meager kelp]

ooo true 👀

[left ginkgo]

character development??

nutty

Bill on the second pic

[late barn]

"shit I have to fight it"

[restive flower]

And then, in the middle of the fight, the time stops, and we see the intense moment on pause of monsters jaws being really close to closing on Bill
Then the bg Bill's voice says: Yep, that's me. Youre probably wondering how I ended up in this situation? Well, everything started at the boring 2D planes of Euclydia..."

[late barn]

LMAO 😭😭😭

Just recites his entire life story

With all these annoying non essential details

[restive flower]

Bet, how many hours it'll take him until he'll get back to that point of the story

[late barn]

Dude who knows

Turns out he's just stalling for as long as possible in the freeze frame so he dosen't have to fight it 😭

[restive flower]

He'll have to eventually

[late barn]

Yeah but he sucks at planning ahead so

[restive flower]

Bill in the fighting scene ends up losing balance and falls backwards in the middle of the life story, and all actions just continues

That one time he could have used time stopping powers and he absolutly messed it up

[warped geode]

Lol yes

[warped geode]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

[warped geode]

Yay! (Good Bills are kinda my weak point - he can't be evil in every universe, right?)
