I Just Felt The Need To Compile These, I've Been Unwell About Them If You Couldn't Tell.

Lately I've been obsessed with these creatures

an observation

I’m actually so sick reading up about the news that just broke. The US and UK are actively bombing Yemen in a bid to distract the world from Israel’s ongoing genocide in Palestine. Over and over it’s proven that Arabs are not perceived as humans by the west. This is insane. It keeps getting worse day by day. Ceasefire now.

the thing i love about bill being a flatlander is that he so clearly hates the fact that he is one but he’s also just as clearly still so attached to his dimension, even if he doesn’t realize it. i love that he falls back on being an equilateral salesman in so many of his interactions, that his role in flatland still shapes him so much. i love that he grays out the world when he appears, that he is still associated with monochrome. i love that he builds his physical form over a flat, gray version of himself. i love that he kept kryptos around, even though the guy seems to be from, at the very least, a dimension very similar to bill’s, if not literally being from bill’s home dimension. i love that even the way he dresses could be seen as cultural carryovers from growing up in a victorian environment. i love that he’s sensitive about people asking if his sides are even. i love that, when he finally gets a shot at a physical form, he basically makes himself a spacelander. i love that he has tried so hard to escape the repressive, oppressive society he grew up in, and that it still seeps through so obviously to anyone who knows even the slightest bit about him

Bill missing his old home dimension this badly drives me nuts man. Like, Bill has very good and valid reasons to resent his old home. Obviously destroying the place and everyone living in it was uncalled for and messed up but while his actions weren't justified, his feelings absolutely were. And it just makes me wonder what makes him still want to return. Is it nostalgia? A familiarity forever gone? The finality of what he did weighing down on him? Does he realize he could've potentially utilized his powers in a more productive way to change his dimension for the better? Do you think he would've tried reconciling or at least talking to his parents again if he could go back? Does Jheselbraum mentioning them specifically among the many other people Bill killed underline how much he hated them or how much it haunts him that he has their blood on his hands?

Thinks about Alex Hirsch calling Bill Cipher "kind of a spoiled brat" because he experienced a lot of little frustrations in his lifetime that piled up. Thinks about how this likely means Bill feels entitled to do whatever he wants no matter what because he grew up in a restrictive world. Thinks about how Bill thinks morality is limiting. Thinks about how Bill always hurts people and even takes enjoyment out of it. Thinks about the two lines in "It's Gonna Get Weird" suggesting he doesn't really consider himself 'evil'. Thinks about him framing both the destruction of his dimension and Weirdmageddon in a positive light a few times.

He doesn't care that he does awful things and despite all his apparent means-to-an-end mindset he still probably knows he's wrong deep down because burning his dimension is something that hurt him and he still regrets but he's so caught up in his own justifications and anger do you get it
