You've Heard Me Talk About Bill Having A Horrible Relationship With His Parents, Now Get Ready For

US and UK bombing Yemen, a country with a famine that stopped some Israeli ships out of solidarity with Palestine. This world is losing its sanity

thinking about this bit again

ALEX: i’m trying to think of this—it’s a hard question cause it’s like, there’s this weird thing, like, in fan communities where they just- they really desperately want to turn everything into benedict cumberbatch or jack skellington. like... you draw a dog and they’re like “what if that dog was dressed in a top hat and tails and was seducing somebody and had high cheekbones and looked like hannibal” and it’s like it doesn’t matter-

DANA: who is also half a deer. for some reason

ALEX: yeah it’s like, whether it’s a man or a woman or a circle or a square or a piece of paper or a log, people will be like “how can we make it fuckable?” and so like everyone wants bill, who’s just this obnoxious little dork, to be somehow just like this suave and handsome dream lothario, which is totally in no way connected to his personality whatsoever. so like, you know, that stuff.... when i see it i’m like “sure go nuts have fun” but when people are like “is this it?? is this bill?” i’m like.. it’s not.. it’s not the bill i created. it’s your own original character. so go nuts. so like, when i try to think of human bill it’s just so bizarre to me because.... the whole joke is that he’s this dumb little illuminati triangle with a top hat and like mr. peanut arms and legs

storyboard bill is everything to me

Lately I've been obsessed with these creatures

Just got diagnosed with this

Last night I had a dream that I built a robot and I was being interviewed about it and the interviewer was like “Can you fuck it?” and I smugly answered “What kind of fool would make a robot that you can’t fuck?”

I LOVE YOU BABY 😩💕

Ivan: Cowboy, I'm not going to celebrate your satanic holiday, damn it, you're dressing up as some demons and you think I'll treat this as something normal?

Kolyadki

Ivan as a child:

Ivan: Kolyada, kolyada! Open the gates and take out the chests, give us coins, even a ruble (1), even a nickel (5), we will not leave you just like that. Give us a piece of candy, or maybe a coin, don't be a jerk, Christmas Eve is coming soon!

Ivan: On New Year's Eve I wish you an aspen coffin, a stake and a grave, and a sick mare (curse)

Maslenitsa

(Maslenitsa is a pagan holiday still celebrated in Russia. Meaning: people see off winter by burning an effigy symbolizing the Goddess of Winter Morena. People bake crepes. Crepes, at least in Russia, appeared as a funeral food, which is consumed during funerals. At the moment, crepes are a common dish, but crepes are still an important dish for Maslenitsa):

Ivan: Die, Morana (Goddess of Death/Rebirth/Winter.), die, die, die, yes yes yes, die

Ivan Kupala (Kupala Night):

There is very little information in the English wikipedia

The holiday combines two elements: pagan and Christian. Previously, this holiday existed independently, but after the baptism of Russia, the holiday acquired a Christian meaning and elements. The main feature of Kupala night is the cleansing bonfires. Around the fire, people danced, danced, sang Kupala songs, jumped over it: whoever is more successful and jumps higher, he will be happier. Girls jump through the fire "to purify themselves and protect themselves from dumbness, spoilage, conspiracies," and so that "mermaids do not attack and do not come for a year." Evil spirits come to life on this holiday, people performed certain rituals to scare away witches, mermaids and other evil spirits. Also, people wove wreaths of certain flowers, which also carry a magical meaning, women let such wreaths on the water to tell themselves an early wedding or a long life. Also on this holiday it is customary to look for a fern flower, which according to Slavic beliefs, the fern blooms only for a moment, on the night before Ivan Kupala (on June 24 [July 7 in Russia]); it is very difficult to pluck a flower, especially since the evil spirit prevents this in every possible way and intimidates a person, in some cases depriving him of reason, speech, memory. Picking the flower of a fern and keeping it with him acquires unusual possibilities. Man becomes visionary, can understand the language of animals, see all the treasures.

weird little freak (complimentary)

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
