@@pinkerhero So essentially before the book actually came out there were a few reviews. One of them was titled 'Help Me' and goeth thusly: "BEST BOOK EVER!!! This book is awesome!!! I love looking at the cover! The book itself is so good!!! I love it I love it I love it!!! Kh'v frplqj. Orfn wkh grruv. Forvh wkh eolqgv. Wrpruurz zhlugqhvv zloo vsuhdg."

"Vxuh, exw lp qrw whoolqj brx! Brx'oo mxvw kdyh wr exb wkh errn!" Which translates to: "Sure, but im not telling you! you'll just have to buy the book!" Decoding them took me around 2 hours for both and I think this was such a fun bit of teasing in preparation for the book!
2:26 Alex is _really_ committed to this bit! I got to meet him at a Book of Bill signing, and when I enthused about how excited I was to finally meet him after being a fan for 12 years, he said, “I’m just a guy!”
tbh as a ford enjoyer a lot of the appeal in billford for me is actually how much bill brings out the WORST in ford,,, like alex hirsch said himself, no one feeds into ford's ego like bill does
I just remember seeing a random spike in Billfold content and going "where did all this come from??" then seeing that book of bill was out and being like "oh"
Honestly, as someone who ships both Billford and Fiddauthor, the thing I like about the toxic yaoi ship is the fact that it IS toxic. Like, the jokes are great, but its depiction of abuse is so, like... genuine. Without getting personal, I've been in a really fucking bad toxic (platonic) relationship before, and Billford deadass helped me come to terms with it. Cuz here's the thing: most fictional abusive relationships just start with the abuse itself. It shows the victim and the perpetrator at the height (or almost at the height) of the abuse, and we see as either one of them is destroyed by it or the victim becomes free. But Billford actually shows the WHOLE timeline. Something that bothers me about a lot of fictional abuse reps is the fact that you cannot sympathize with the victim aside from "aw that's horrible :(". Cuz it just starts AT the abuse. We don't see how they got there or what's causing the victim to stay. We just know they need to escape. But with Billford, we see EVERYTHING. How it started out as something Ford genuinely loved, seeing Bill as a friend and someone he could trust, how it made him feel better because he was actually making progress on his research and he wasn't lonely anymore. To Ford during those early days, Bill was the highlight of his time in Gravity Falls. We can follow his train of thought exactly to where he let Bill possess him with basically no strings attached (pun intended). That's what makes it all the more devastating. Bill isolated Ford from everyone. He sabotaged his friendship with Fiddleford by planting that seed of doubt in the engineer and pulling Ford further and further into his plans. Then the thing with the portal happened and Ford had NOWHERE to go. Plus, Bill kept trying to get Ford to stop thinking about Stan, to move on and let him rot. So he kept planting seeds of doubt in his own brother as well, causing Ford to further and further slip away. Then Ford confronts Bill. And the monster is unleashed. Once Bill realizes he's lost control of Ford's devotion and the illusion has shattered, Bill just LEANS into it. In order to take control back, he started tormenting Ford and just being horrible to him, to try and make him fall in line. Love and fear ARE right next to each other in the brain, after all. And there's NOTHING Ford can do but just fall further and further into paranoia. Bill demonstrates many real-world abusive/manipulative tactics on Ford, the big one being isolation, since that allows the rest of the everything to even happen, but the way he turns Ford against LITERALLY EVERYONE using paranoia is really true to real life. Now obviously your toxic boyfriend cannot possess random strangers irl. But you know what he CAN do? Start spreading rumors behind your back. Stalk you. Harass you. Make you feel unsafe everywhere except home (which isn't safe either, but it's better than the outside world). He can spend your money or break your things. Slash your tires. In Ford's case, LITERALLY abusing his body. There's the sticky notes, the threats, the roof incident, all of it just piling one atop the other. I cannot imagine how fucking terrified Ford must have been to finally send that postcard to Stanley. He was at a point where he assumed Stan would hate him, or at the very least wouldn't respond so why even bother, and he'd just gotten the "steal your eyes" threat. He was out of options, and was absolutely sure he was putting Stan in danger by getting him involved (another irl abuse thing that happens). He was scared to reach out for help because 1) he didn't want others getting hurt (like Fidds had), 2) he was ashamed he'd let this happen, and 3) he, on some level, felt like he deserved this. Justified? To a paranoid, scared, abused, irrational brain: Absolutely. In reality? Never. But HE'D built that portal. HE'D allowed Bill to possess his body basically freely. HE'D basically helped start the apocalypse. And that shame would have lead to SO much self-hatred and despair. His reaching out to Stan was his last resort, his last way out. THAT'S what intrigues me about the ship so much. I do not want them to make up and get back together. They're horrible for each other. But I do enjoy exploring the dynamic of it, fully seeing the cycle and how it happens, and seeing a whole new side to Ford that we only caught a glimpse of in the show and Journal 3. Plus Bill but his side is more comedic and sad to me I do not take him seriously FSDGHJ The jokes are great and I love it here, but if I ever write a fic or draw art for these two it's going to be toxic as hell man. And not in the fun way fgsjd
Great analysis! And I love your point about this relationship being depicted as the full *arc* of becoming blatantly abusive, and how that contrasts with the more simplistic version commonly depicted in stories, you really put into words something I'd only experiencing as a general sense before.
wow, I feel like I could have written this comment w/ how much it mirrors my experience. I went through two toxic/emotionally abusive "friendships", with the most recent ending a bit over a year ago, and the depiction of abuse in the book of bill also helped me come to terms with some of it. It feels weird to be so emotionally recognized by the dynamic between a triangle and a man with an ego problem from a children's cartoon, but I feel the same thing about this accurately tracking the entire cycle of an abusive relationship in a way few other properties do. Honestly, a dream demon that can read minds and possess bodies feels like the perfect way to depict a controlling partner, who infiltrates your sense of self, your thoughts, and your relationship with the outside world.
@@HitTheFan16Have you been on Tumblr? It’s one of the most popular ships in the fandom. You’re just mad that not every ship is straight like how things used to be.
18:47 isn’t even an exaggeration! My mom has read some of The Book of Bill herself, and when I finally realized that BillFord was canonically implied and went screaming to her, she was all nonchalant like, “Well, yeah, they went on a date!” referring to karaoke night!
I'll be honest, i started shipping Billford as a pure joke because of one singular line from journal three ("Could F ever truly appreciate the complex fates that brought me and my muse together?") and now seeing that it's so heavily damned implied is physically killing me😭🤣 I love this. Great video lmao
@@Sting_Rei103 Implication isn't everything so maybe it's not canon. If it is though, it's sickening how many people are okay with this. I can never just enjoy something without it being ruined by gay people or trans people
my favourite part of this whole thing is how much Bill tries to convince Ford he's a freak for **checks notes** having an extra finger. as if that's equivalent to being a literal geometric shape
I saw one where someone was like "but what if he can't turn human" and so the post was of Stan asking, "Okay, so you did the triangle. At least tell me his human form was hot." and Ford is just like, "What human form?"
“I will go over BillFord more in detail in their own dedicated video” COLEY I’M SO SORRY I SHOULD’VE NEVER UNSUBSCRIBED FROM YOU *SLAMS THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON*
As someone who didn't get into Gravity Falls at all when it was popular and lowkey forgot about it, I absolutely love how THIS is how I get introduced to the fandom.
@@IrishxlilyColey covered it in a past video. I beg of you, do not read the fic verbatim. Watch the video instead, it gives background and stuff and it feels like you’re not alone in what will, and I repeat, WILL, be suffering
Coley usually covers fandoms that I have no involvement in, but I’m currently hyperfixating on Bill Cipher _and_ I’ve become a huge BillFord shipper, so this is an extremely welcome surprise! I’m so psyched!!! AAAAAA I’M SHAKING!!!
When it comes to Billford, I read their relationship as a very emotionally fraught one with a LOT of abuse and manipulation. How I see it, it’s analogous to a toxic romance without the literal romantic attraction. Fiddauthor, however…
im a billford truther since 2015 it was wild before billford because the most popular yaoi ship was bipper 😭😭then billford came into the picture and the fandom completely changed. im so so glad that people consider now billford and fiddauthor as the superior yaoi ships and that we as a society completely forgot about bipper.
@@user-ss1yb5fn4j Lol the same people who shipped bipper or billdip or dillpickle are the same people supporting billford. Which means the pedo is still inside them
@@user-ss1yb5fn4j i was shipping billford since 2015 too and its wild to see the majority of the modern billford shippers being the same kind of people who would harass us back then for "normalizing abuse" now they're all fighting for their lives trying to justify shipping an abuser with his victim xdxd
I'm so glad you covered this, I became a huge fan of this ship when the book of bill came out. My favorite au so far is the uncle bill au where he's married to Ford, and he and the twins (mostly Mable) engage in shenanigans. As someone who loves fluffly, slice of life stories, I really like this au. Also Stan is constantly in a state of "I shouldn't be the responsible one here!"
You forgot an interesting part. When Bill and Ford go out drinking, Bill's arms and legs aren't blacked out despite being the same colour as his tophat, which is drawn darker. This is also the first time (and only, lest I am mistaken) time we see Bill without his bricks. Earlier in the book, we see baby Bill wearing comically large kicks, implying that he wears thigh high socks and long black gloves. So this means both that Bill was drinking and singing with Ford while naked and that Ford drew him naked, which I think should be discussed more.
I am convinced that Alex Hirsch did that on purpose because honestly it is such a hilarious to pull. Coming out of a eight year hiatus on the show, to somewhat confirm old man yaoi, then not elaborating. What an icon
Fun fact, bill licking Ford's spit was a reference to a deleted scene. A LOT was cut from weirdmaggedon, but one was ford being offered a place in the henchmaniacs, to which he tells bill to come closer and promptly spits in his eye. Bill then licks it off, turns ford into gold, and makes statue ford kiss a deer. I fully believe bill was pretending he was the deer, if you watch the scene you'll see what I mean
You KNEW it was going to happen the moment Coley posted that Poolverine video lol. Poolverine and Billford are the posterchildren of old man yaoi summer 2024
I love the idea that the human!Bill designs from 8 years ago are how Bill looked when Ford met him and the 2024 designs is how bill looks now (he wants ford back)
The fandom is still as hilarious and odd and unhinged as it was when I first entered it years ago. The amount of OCs I’m seeing, especially the ones that are being paired up with Stan or Ford are absolutely INSANE.
I saw this animation once of the "Rock a bye billy lullaby" and instead, it has the characters 'pop' into static when seeing the stars. Its one of my favorite headcannons, fr cant stop thinking about it.
ok but is this a version of reverse falls that has its own equivalent of weirdmageddon? bc can you imagine if you were one of the reverse pines twins in that situation? your great uncle’s ex-turned-indentured servant ends up going on a vengeful murderous rampage after being freed by two shithead (read: normal) kids. in the chaos he kidnaps you and your sibling specifically to use as leverage against said great uncle. your great uncle shows up and instead of like, i dunno, apologizing or begging for your life or something, starts ARGUING THAT HE SHOULD GET OVER IT. i would start writing my own will.
you should check out dreamcaptor au. It’s Ford capturing Bill and then taking over as the big bad as canon divergence instead of complete AU. Not much content but it’s interesting
My mom made a deal with me once, if she got me something for Christmas that I *really* wanted I'd have to stop watching Gravity Falls, which was my favorite show at the time. She got me shoes
Isn't this kinda similar to the Deadpool X Wolverine ship? Bill, of course, being Deadpool, and Ford being Wolverine. DON'T COME AT ME IF I'M KINDA WRONG THE ART OF FORD AT 25:13 REMINDED ME OF LOGAN
They're still trending. The entire old man yaoi tag continues to be composed entirely of Poolverine and Billford. I'm just imagining the fandom historians labeling summer of 2024 as old man yaoi summer LMAO
Toxic old man yaoi is remaining strong on the menu this year boys! (First it’s a Destiel and spn old man yaoi resurgence, then Hannigram resurgence, and now Billford.)(tho, Hannigram and now Billford will always be the examples I conjure up first when thinking about toxic old man yaoi). (And now here is another chance to ask for a video on the resurgence on the Hannigram/Hannibal fandom bc of all the cons this year with the main cast?)
the fandom literally switching up from Bill x Dipper to then Bill x Stanford needs to be talked about because i feel so weird knowing I'm the only one knowing this info.
Oh believe me when I say ALL FAN (especially the old one) are painfully aware of it. It like trying to focus on the presents and ignore all the memory of your younger self mistake. Even if I don't ship billdip, it is still the most popular ship at the time and was everywhere every time I goes to the fandom space.
We're trying to forget. My only interaction with the GF fandom for literally years wasn't watching the show, it was being an awkward teen on Wattpad for the first time reading Billdip. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we'd rather not remember 😭
@@catdownthestreet i had almost the same experience, except i watched the show. Man, when I tell you I read so much billdip on wattpad when i was 9, that I have to block billdip and related tags from appearing on my wattpad homepage so i dont get reminded, i am not exaggerating
tbf i always thought bill and ford were so gay, i mean... ford called bill his muse in the show, and bill also took ford alone to his pyramid room and sung to him and locked him in chains... idk man it was all really charged LOL but i am glad everyone is finally obsessing over this rather than _shivers_ billdip. the fact that that was basically the biggest ship in the fandom for the longest time will haunt me to my grave. sometimes i really wish ford wasnt introduced with only like 9 episodes left in the show, if only to prevent that ship from being so prominent.
Ford must've really enjoyed math class when they got to triangles- "Stanford, would you tell me which type of triangle this is?" "...hot" "Excuse me?" "Ma'am that triangle is hot."
(i know i've left more than one comment on this already BUT i just felt like there was a missed opportunity to talk _more_ about this!!!!) i am honestly kind of obsessed with the fact that not only are billford and fordauthor/ford^2 some of the most popular GF ships right now, but fiddleford and stanley have become an extremely popular ship lately. from my understanding a lot of the ship's appeal is the angst and the toxic codependency potential that it has. a lot of the fanart that i see of them is really angsty, portraying them both as very damaged men, dealing with the loss of stanford by seeking comfort and refuge in each other. sometimes they're using each other, sometimes it's genuinely super cute and sweet fluffy art because these two men deserve to be happy ONE TIME!!!! (nevermind the fact that fiddleford is married and has a child, don't worry, shippers didn't forget to sprinkle in some infidelity angst too!) like. the ship is very "Washing Machine Heart by Mitski"-coded and i'm really loving all the flavors of toxic yaoi happening to the fandom rn
I now want a relationship counseling fic where Bill and Ford are dragged into a room and forced to say how they feel because it seems like a situation where both of them are convinced the other doesn't feel the same
i think it's really interesting and a little funny to see the fandom culture shift now that a large amount of the audience has grown up. i actually saw this joke (maybe on twitter or tiktok i can't remember) where someone said that some people who had crushes on dipper as a kid are now grown up and crushing on ford and/or stanley. thank you alex hirsch, for saving dipper pines with the power of old man yaoi.
The art of Bill at 19:09 almost reminds me of Stolas from Helluva Boss with the legs and blue swirlies, but that might just be because I'm on a Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel kick right now

tbh as a ford enjoyer a lot of the appeal in billford for me is actually how much bill brings out the WORST in ford,,, like alex hirsch said himself, no one feeds into ford's ego like bill does
Believe it or not, 17:28 is a reference to a deleted scene from _canon_ in which Ford spits into Bill’s eye and Bill licks off his spit!
YESSSS I KNEW SHE WAS GONNA COVER THIS
SAME LMAOOO
SAME X2!!!
WE ARE EATING GOOD
Billford and Poolverine are living in my head rent-free since July...
I just remember seeing a random spike in Billfold content and going "where did all this come from??" then seeing that book of bill was out and being like "oh"
Meanwhile, youtube started recommending me shorts and animations and that's how i found out.
Alex Hirsch literally has the fandom’s mental state in his own fans 😂😂
He did it.. he saved the town 🥺
something pfp :0
STOPPPPPP 💀💀💀
have the twitter and tiktok kids finally stopped shitting on the artist who made that animation yet?
NO NO NO HE DID NOT HE DID NO-
Honestly, as someone who ships both Billford and Fiddauthor, the thing I like about the toxic yaoi ship is the fact that it IS toxic. Like, the jokes are great, but its depiction of abuse is so, like... genuine. Without getting personal, I've been in a really fucking bad toxic (platonic) relationship before, and Billford deadass helped me come to terms with it. Cuz here's the thing: most fictional abusive relationships just start with the abuse itself. It shows the victim and the perpetrator at the height (or almost at the height) of the abuse, and we see as either one of them is destroyed by it or the victim becomes free. But Billford actually shows the WHOLE timeline.
Something that bothers me about a lot of fictional abuse reps is the fact that you cannot sympathize with the victim aside from "aw that's horrible :(". Cuz it just starts AT the abuse. We don't see how they got there or what's causing the victim to stay. We just know they need to escape. But with Billford, we see EVERYTHING. How it started out as something Ford genuinely loved, seeing Bill as a friend and someone he could trust, how it made him feel better because he was actually making progress on his research and he wasn't lonely anymore. To Ford during those early days, Bill was the highlight of his time in Gravity Falls. We can follow his train of thought exactly to where he let Bill possess him with basically no strings attached (pun intended).
That's what makes it all the more devastating. Bill isolated Ford from everyone. He sabotaged his friendship with Fiddleford by planting that seed of doubt in the engineer and pulling Ford further and further into his plans. Then the thing with the portal happened and Ford had NOWHERE to go. Plus, Bill kept trying to get Ford to stop thinking about Stan, to move on and let him rot. So he kept planting seeds of doubt in his own brother as well, causing Ford to further and further slip away.
Then Ford confronts Bill. And the monster is unleashed.
Once Bill realizes he's lost control of Ford's devotion and the illusion has shattered, Bill just LEANS into it. In order to take control back, he started tormenting Ford and just being horrible to him, to try and make him fall in line. Love and fear ARE right next to each other in the brain, after all. And there's NOTHING Ford can do but just fall further and further into paranoia.
Bill demonstrates many real-world abusive/manipulative tactics on Ford, the big one being isolation, since that allows the rest of the everything to even happen, but the way he turns Ford against LITERALLY EVERYONE using paranoia is really true to real life. Now obviously your toxic boyfriend cannot possess random strangers irl. But you know what he CAN do? Start spreading rumors behind your back. Stalk you. Harass you. Make you feel unsafe everywhere except home (which isn't safe either, but it's better than the outside world). He can spend your money or break your things. Slash your tires. In Ford's case, LITERALLY abusing his body. There's the sticky notes, the threats, the roof incident, all of it just piling one atop the other.
I cannot imagine how fucking terrified Ford must have been to finally send that postcard to Stanley. He was at a point where he assumed Stan would hate him, or at the very least wouldn't respond so why even bother, and he'd just gotten the "steal your eyes" threat. He was out of options, and was absolutely sure he was putting Stan in danger by getting him involved (another irl abuse thing that happens). He was scared to reach out for help because 1) he didn't want others getting hurt (like Fidds had), 2) he was ashamed he'd let this happen, and 3) he, on some level, felt like he deserved this.
Justified? To a paranoid, scared, abused, irrational brain: Absolutely. In reality? Never. But HE'D built that portal. HE'D allowed Bill to possess his body basically freely. HE'D basically helped start the apocalypse. And that shame would have lead to SO much self-hatred and despair. His reaching out to Stan was his last resort, his last way out.
THAT'S what intrigues me about the ship so much. I do not want them to make up and get back together. They're horrible for each other. But I do enjoy exploring the dynamic of it, fully seeing the cycle and how it happens, and seeing a whole new side to Ford that we only caught a glimpse of in the show and Journal 3. Plus Bill but his side is more comedic and sad to me I do not take him seriously FSDGHJ
The jokes are great and I love it here, but if I ever write a fic or draw art for these two it's going to be toxic as hell man. And not in the fun way fgsjd
This is a fantastic comment, if you have Tumblr or Twitter you should totally post it
@@catdownthestreet Posted it on Tumblr last night, yeah. Something I've been meaning to make a post for for a while. Finally had an excuse lol
Yes, exactly!!
Great analysis! And I love your point about this relationship being depicted as the full *arc* of becoming blatantly abusive, and how that contrasts with the more simplistic version commonly depicted in stories, you really put into words something I'd only experiencing as a general sense before.
wow, I feel like I could have written this comment w/ how much it mirrors my experience. I went through two toxic/emotionally abusive "friendships", with the most recent ending a bit over a year ago, and the depiction of abuse in the book of bill also helped me come to terms with some of it. It feels weird to be so emotionally recognized by the dynamic between a triangle and a man with an ego problem from a children's cartoon, but I feel the same thing about this accurately tracking the entire cycle of an abusive relationship in a way few other properties do. Honestly, a dream demon that can read minds and possess bodies feels like the perfect way to depict a controlling partner, who infiltrates your sense of self, your thoughts, and your relationship with the outside world.
Meanwhile, the people who ship Dipper/Pacifica are quietly sipping some tea...

my favourite part of this whole thing is how much Bill tries to convince Ford he's a freak for **checks notes** having an extra finger. as if that's equivalent to being a literal geometric shape
In Bill’s world, he also had essentially a mutation. Ford’d be ultra strange in Euclydia.
I saw one where someone was like "but what if he can't turn human" and so the post was of Stan asking, "Okay, so you did the triangle. At least tell me his human form was hot." and Ford is just like, "What human form?"
Stan: "..is this why you enjoyed

Ford: "NO, STANLEY!"

When it comes to Billford, I read their relationship as a very emotionally fraught one with a LOT of abuse and manipulation. How I see it, it’s analogous to a toxic romance without the literal romantic attraction.
Fiddauthor, however…
Yes, me too! 💕Fiddauthors’ adorableness and angst makes me lose my mind. Frilliam and the six fingered gloves! 💔

im a billford truther since 2015 it was wild before billford because the most popular yaoi ship was bipper 😭😭then billford came into the picture and the fandom completely changed. im so so glad that people consider now billford and fiddauthor as the superior yaoi ships and that we as a society completely forgot about bipper.
My only interaction with the GF fandom for so long was Bipper... I'm so glad we all dropped that one and moved on to toxic old man yaoi 💀
@@user-ss1yb5fn4j Lol the same people who shipped bipper or billdip or dillpickle are the same people supporting billford. Which means the pedo is still inside them
@@user-ss1yb5fn4j i was shipping billford since 2015 too and its wild to see the majority of the modern billford shippers being the same kind of people who would harass us back then for "normalizing abuse" now they're all fighting for their lives trying to justify shipping an abuser with his victim xdxd
I'm so glad you covered this, I became a huge fan of this ship when the book of bill came out. My favorite au so far is the uncle bill au where he's married to Ford, and he and the twins (mostly Mable) engage in shenanigans. As someone who loves fluffly, slice of life stories, I really like this au. Also Stan is constantly in a state of "I shouldn't be the responsible one here!"
Between Rhaenicent, Billford, Sonadow, Perirep, & Shadowpeach this has truly been the year of toxic gays with a capital Y and I am LOVING IT!!!!!
SHADOWPEACH MENTIONED ‼️‼️
@@samiai8905 what the fuck is blud talking about 😭🙏
You forgot an interesting part. When Bill and Ford go out drinking, Bill's arms and legs aren't blacked out despite being the same colour as his tophat, which is drawn darker. This is also the first time (and only, lest I am mistaken) time we see Bill without his bricks. Earlier in the book, we see baby Bill wearing comically large kicks, implying that he wears thigh high socks and long black gloves. So this means both that Bill was drinking and singing with Ford while naked and that Ford drew him naked, which I think should be discussed more.
Whoa hold up what???
This is cannon I am the karaoke machine
That tma reference in the middle of the video was a slap to the face. 10:10 if you’re not aware of LonelyEyes

Ong bro 💀
i was eating spaghetti. I should not have been. Now i have to wash my throat
I saw this and I still wasn't ready for it
AHAHA excellent
I literally shrieked at that lmaoooo
I am convinced that Alex Hirsch did that on purpose because honestly it is such a hilarious to pull. Coming out of a eight year hiatus on the show, to somewhat confirm old man yaoi, then not elaborating. What an icon
The moment i learned about this ship i knew that fandom would have bill and ford introducing chains into the bedroom
Fun fact, bill licking Ford's spit was a reference to a deleted scene. A LOT was cut from weirdmaggedon, but one was ford being offered a place in the henchmaniacs, to which he tells bill to come closer and promptly spits in his eye. Bill then licks it off, turns ford into gold, and makes statue ford kiss a deer. I fully believe bill was pretending he was the deer, if you watch the scene you'll see what I mean
YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS SHIP ‼️‼️😭😭🙏🙏🙏
You KNEW it was going to happen the moment Coley posted that Poolverine video lol. Poolverine and Billford are the posterchildren of old man yaoi summer 2024
OG MY GODD I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU WERE GONNA COVER THIS 😭💋 THANK YOU COLEY 🦇
I love the idea that the human!Bill designs from 8 years ago are how Bill looked when Ford met him and the 2024 designs is how bill looks now (he wants ford back)
The fandom is still as hilarious and odd and unhinged as it was when I first entered it years ago.
The amount of OCs I’m seeing, especially the ones that are being paired up with Stan or Ford are absolutely INSANE.
I saw this animation once of the "Rock a bye billy lullaby" and instead, it has the characters 'pop' into static when seeing the stars. Its one of my favorite headcannons, fr cant stop thinking about it.
I need to watch this or else my friends will kill me because of my non-understanding of their references.
I love this show so much
Ok now I need to see some Reverse Falls fan art of Will and Stanford from that uni. Probs Stanford not over Will in the AU
ok but is this a version of reverse falls that has its own equivalent of weirdmageddon? bc can you imagine if you were one of the reverse pines twins in that situation? your great uncle’s ex-turned-indentured servant ends up going on a vengeful murderous rampage after being freed by two shithead (read: normal) kids. in the chaos he kidnaps you and your sibling specifically to use as leverage against said great uncle. your great uncle shows up and instead of like, i dunno, apologizing or begging for your life or something, starts ARGUING THAT HE SHOULD GET OVER IT. i would start writing my own will.
you should check out dreamcaptor au. It’s Ford capturing Bill and then taking over as the big bad as canon divergence instead of complete AU. Not much content but it’s interesting
The vocal shift from "He's so big!🤗" to "He's so big😳🤩😜" absolute sends me.
How Alex Hirsch feels after reviving the fandom singlehandedly with the Book of -Bill- Divorce: "I did it... I saved the town. 😼"

@@86fifty Absolutely not
She what???? I'm so confused, did she honestly think that would be enough to halt the spread of hyperfixation to the brain 😭
Isn't this kinda similar to the Deadpool X Wolverine ship? Bill, of course, being Deadpool, and Ford being Wolverine. DON'T COME AT ME IF I'M KINDA WRONG THE ART OF FORD AT 25:13 REMINDED ME OF LOGAN
They both trended on Tumblr at the same time. It was toxic old man yaoi summer on there
They're still trending. The entire old man yaoi tag continues to be composed entirely of Poolverine and Billford. I'm just imagining the fandom historians labeling summer of 2024 as old man yaoi summer LMAO
Toxic old man yaoi is remaining strong on the menu this year boys! (First it’s a Destiel and spn old man yaoi resurgence, then Hannigram resurgence, and now Billford.)(tho, Hannigram and now Billford will always be the examples I conjure up first when thinking about toxic old man yaoi). (And now here is another chance to ask for a video on the resurgence on the Hannigram/Hannibal fandom bc of all the cons this year with the main cast?)
Don't forget the Poolverine lol
ALSO WHAT IS THAT PFP
the fandom literally switching up from Bill x Dipper to then Bill x Stanford needs to be talked about because i feel so weird knowing I'm the only one knowing this info.
Oh believe me when I say ALL FAN (especially the old one) are painfully aware of it.
It like trying to focus on the presents and ignore all the memory of your younger self mistake. Even if I don't ship billdip, it is still the most popular ship at the time and was everywhere every time I goes to the fandom space.
We're trying to forget. My only interaction with the GF fandom for literally years wasn't watching the show, it was being an awkward teen on Wattpad for the first time reading Billdip. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we'd rather not remember 😭
@@catdownthestreet i had almost the same experience, except i watched the show. Man, when I tell you I read so much billdip on wattpad when i was 9, that I have to block billdip and related tags from appearing on my wattpad homepage so i dont get reminded, i am not exaggerating
You know it's bad when you’ve seen every piece of fanart in this video.
tbf i always thought bill and ford were so gay, i mean... ford called bill his muse in the show, and bill also took ford alone to his pyramid room and sung to him and locked him in chains... idk man it was all really charged LOL
but i am glad everyone is finally obsessing over this rather than _shivers_ billdip. the fact that that was basically the biggest ship in the fandom for the longest time will haunt me to my grave. sometimes i really wish ford wasnt introduced with only like 9 episodes left in the show, if only to prevent that ship from being so prominent.
Billford was something i expect and didn’t expect at the same time 😭
Ford must've really enjoyed math class when they got to triangles-
"Stanford, would you tell me which type of triangle this is?"
"...hot"
"Excuse me?"
"Ma'am that triangle is hot."
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO I JUST KNEW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN LET'S GOOOOOOO
13:32 woAHHHH ty for the feature and love for the One of Us AU!! ❤❤❤
As a Latin fan and shipper, my favorite part about billford is the animatics with baladas and cumbias, where bill is drunk and crying
(i know i've left more than one comment on this already BUT i just felt like there was a missed opportunity to talk _more_ about this!!!!)
i am honestly kind of obsessed with the fact that not only are billford and fordauthor/ford^2 some of the most popular GF ships right now, but fiddleford and stanley have become an extremely popular ship lately.
from my understanding a lot of the ship's appeal is the angst and the toxic codependency potential that it has. a lot of the fanart that i see of them is really angsty, portraying them both as very damaged men, dealing with the loss of stanford by seeking comfort and refuge in each other. sometimes they're using each other, sometimes it's genuinely super cute and sweet fluffy art because these two men deserve to be happy ONE TIME!!!! (nevermind the fact that fiddleford is married and has a child, don't worry, shippers didn't forget to sprinkle in some infidelity angst too!)
like. the ship is very "Washing Machine Heart by Mitski"-coded and i'm really loving all the flavors of toxic yaoi happening to the fandom rn
I now want a relationship counseling fic where Bill and Ford are dragged into a room and forced to say how they feel because it seems like a situation where both of them are convinced the other doesn't feel the same
“Sixer? I hardly know her!”
FIRST OMG! What if instead of Gravity Falls it was Freaky Falls, and instead of being Gravity it was Freaky?
