not actually going to properly finish this but here’s a Frontier Psychiatrist music video redraw using a full grown triangle with bricks and angles
While we're on the topic of Ciphertology, I've really been wondering about Emmaline Butternubbins. How on earth did she figure out exactly what was going on from the get-go? Immediately clocking that Silas was "a human corpse puppeteered by a space triangle" that's "come to build an interdimensional portal" seems a little too suspicious to me.
It makes me wonder if she had a connection with the Anti-Cipher Society, perhaps related to one of their founders? Or maybe she had a close relationship with Bill himself, and figured out he was forming a cult? It would explain how she remained as the only resident of the town that didn't convert to the cult.
Her headstrong attitude and behavior against Bill's agenda reminds me of how Modoc and Ford went against Bill (throwing this out there that maybe she was one of his "favorite humans" that turned against him.)
These are just theories of course, and I'd love to know what you think!
She's portrayed as a grumpy old cat lady, "spoilsport," "unmarried town nag," who passes out homemade chick tracts.
And granted, the townspeople seem pretty dumb and are under the influence of a cult with mind-altering practices—but no one seems surprised to hear her claim that a space triangle is possessing a corpse and they must slay him by the sword.
My guess is that she's just like this. Every detail we have about her suggests that she falls into a pretty common character trope: a religiously conservative crotchety busybody who sees the devil in any new social/religious movements.
She might have wildly speculated based on insufficient evidence and accidentally been right. Or, she might have actually confirmed the truth, but said things like this so often that the town thought she was crying wolf again. Given that TBOB indicates the Gravity Falls universe is full of historical beliefs and superstitions about Bill—the "bastard triangle" of England, country singers who release albums warning people away from Bill—"this man's controlled by a triangle" might be as common an accusation as "this man's possessed by the devil" or "this man was abducted by aliens"—something common enough in pop culture that you'd go "only someone who KNOWS THE TRUTH would guess this!"
A priest during the height of the Satanic Panic who accuses local businesses of being a front for a child-sacrificing Satanic cult is a paranoid bigot—but every once in a while a serial killer does decide hailing Satan would add a certain je ne sais quoi to his murders. Sometimes the priest might accidentally be right.
Either that, or the writer of the chapter is an unreliable narrator, and Emmaline is the town Dib. (idk what another comparison would be if you haven't watched Invader Zim lmao.) somebody who lives in a town where weird-ass stuff regularly happens, always recognizes what's going on because it's always blatantly obvious, but everybody else in town is an oblivious idiot who goes "there goes crazy old Emmaline again, imagining up ghosts and werewolves and space triangles like usual!" Since we don't see any of her life outside of her involvement against Ciphertology, we don't have a way to know if that's the case.
This is the same universe where Stan writes a doctor's note from Dr. Medicine in front of the cops and immediately hands it to them and they buy it. You can't overestimate the stupidity of Gravity Falls background characters.
so, tl;dr: I don't think she had any special knowledge. I think either she was paranoid enough to overreact to minor clues and accidentally hit on the truth, or else Bill was being really really obvious and everyone else was too stupid to pick up on it. Possibly a mix of both.
Stan o' war conversations - or: another Billford comic of mine, since this hyperfixation is not going anywhere
I made this while my brain was melting with fever, if there's any mistakes I'm blaming on that. Otherwise, hope u guys like it!!
Guess who finally made the continuation of Bill's redemption arc? <33
