The chapter update is coming tonight guys. It’s just taking a little longer than anticipated. 😮‍💨

The stormy weather the past few days has helped with the writing though 😉

Guys, fanart for Ch. 30 just dropped! @knockknockwhosthereartistism gave us a whole comic of Ford’s last question 😍 Check it out!

A conversation from Chp. 30 of A Human Condition

@sapphosscribe

Hello dear readers! ❤️📖

There’s been a little discourse in A Human Condition’s comment section and a recent post by @orpheuswasmine referencing some character parallels with Bill from this song.

However.

I have NOT seen mentioned that a younger Ford Pines, with all of his grand, historic, world-changing ambitions, who was constantly striving for more accomplishments, more accolades and could never be satisfied with any of it, probably out of some misplaced sense that only by achieving great things and being an exceptional genius could he ever be loved and accepted despite his six fingers, would ALSO relate heavily to this.

Imagine Bill when he figured that out as well.

Just a little food for thought for you all. 😉

Hey, hope you're having a good day!!! I don’t think you’ve brought this up in the fic, but I’m curious. Alex Hirsch has made some comments about Bill’s gender before, like that tweet where Bill said he doesn’t identify as male or female, just as a triangle. Even though he uses he/him pronouns. (Oh! Or that one saying he counts as a goth girl, but we know that was a joke... Wasn't it?)

Anyway, what do you think about his gender? I'm really curious, especially in your story where he’s human. Any headcan is valid! Personally, I see him as agender, and I think he might be some kind of transmasc or intersex in his human form.

Just headcanons

What do you think?

Hey there, anon! 💜

Bill’s gender is something I’ve actually put a lot of thought into, but haven’t had a chance to bring up in my story yet! So thanks for asking! 😁

My personal headcanon is, in Euclydia, whatever shape you have is equivalent to the human idea of gender and that’s why there’s “thousands of genders” for Euclydians because of slight differences in regards to angles and sides that create new polygons. So there’s hundreds of varieties in gender.

After seeing the multiverse, in my opinion, Bill probably adopted agender status or some form of genderfluidity and presents how he wants based on what he thinks will help him get ahead with other beings/cultures or how he’s feeling at any given time. Though, I think he’s still attached to his triangular form due his own superiority complex (and sentimentality though he’d rather die than admit it) and he tries to incorporate the shape in some way whenever he switches things up.

Now that he’s in human form, he’s still operating by those standards and is probably irritated that he can’t do more to alter his appearance like he could when he had shape-shifting abilities.

Hope this answers your question! There’ll be more later on in the story probably, but since it’s a little ways off I thought I’d go ahead and put this out!

I hope everyone out there is having a good day! 🥰❤️

I just really wanna say, whenever Bill gets rejected 2 thoughts go through my head.

The first is “aww he’s such a wet cat, look at him all grumpy and sad and wet.”

The other, more empathetic part of me gets all sad and goes: “His heart must shatter into a million pieces every time, and he probably has no idea how to navigate it in a healthy way cause he’s never had to understand human emotion to such depth of being nearly physical. He’s learning, and doing better, but that’s hard when he’s surrounded by people who so openly hate him. It must be why he connects with Mable so easily, she doesn’t treat him poorly for apparently no reason, she makes him feel good about himself. He wouldn’t ever want to lose that, would he? Especially after losing all his friends.”

Anyways, reading “A Human Condition” is always an emotional rollercoaster, and I live for it. I cry a little sometimes. I hope your bed is always comfy cozy and your pillow is always your preferred temperature. I’m gonna go make some doodles now.

@xxanxious-anxietyxx LOVE the Bill analysis he and Mabel have some great scenes coming up in a few chapters I think you’ll enjoy based off this 😉

In the meantime, there’s going to be plenty of sadness and rejection to go around!

My bed is perpetually cozy now thanks to this. This week’s update is going to be a good one…

Some Bill concepts for you all from @rotating-pebbles it’s giving mystical cryptic seer who knows all but won’t tell you unless he’s in a silly goofy mood 😉🥰

Your Summerween Treat is still cooking, dear readers. 🎃

No update this week as I prepare a mid-summer extravaganza for you that may or may not come in two parts 😉. It’ll be worth the wait.

Already we got some art for the new chapter!! @axoltheartist has captured Bill’s EXPERT coin flip technique 😂😂

It's short but juicy! Go ahead and sink your teeth in.

Guys, check out some fanart from the Stan bros birthday party by @kimpuntoexe! They did some scenes I haven’t seen done before and did an amazing job!!

I know you’re all eagerly awaiting the update, it’s coming soon 😉

The brothers talking and Bill drunk

A bit old, but here are some scenes from chapter 21 (one of my favorites) of A Human Condition. This fic is the only thing that's broken my recent art block.

@sapphosscribe

Hello Dear Readers! 💖

The update is coming! Either late today or tomorrow depending on how much I get done. I haven’t had much time to write this week, but it’s a short chapter so it won’t take long to finish.

Hope you’re all ready 😉

We got some Billford and Fiddlestan parallels this morning everybody! @knockknockwhosthereartistism killed it with this piece! Come check it out 🥰

One last piece for Chp. 29! Ofc I had to draw some Fiddlestan in there

@sapphosscribe

hiiii ;3

I love your fanfic very much and I'm looking forward to the new chapter, have a nice day!

(bill from @raviolireptile)

Ahhhh!!! So pretty!!! Thanks for letting me know about this! Such a great portrait of Bill that chapter 🩷🩷🩷! @raviolireptile @schhhwa

A look can say so much 😉🥰 Fanart of Ford and Bill for ch. 29 of A Human Condition created by the talented @orpheuswasmine

A HUMAN CONDITION CHAPTER 29 RAAHHHH

Dropping these fanart of these guys ! I’m gonna have to work on Fiddlestan this weekend maybe, since I can’t draw Fidds at all 😭 gonna figure out how to draw him today 😕

BUT HERE IS BILLFORD and holy shit 😭 I love how Bill expression came out, Billy looking quite happy 🥹 it’s totally going to be my new pfp me thinks !!!

“No me mires con esos ojos”

“Me deslumbras, me derrumbas”

“No me mires con esos ojos”

“Te lo doy todo, ni modo”

“No me mires con esos ojos que”

“Me derrites, me trasmites”

“La vergüenza del sol, quien en su resplandor. Se ve opacado. A tu lado.”

I definitely recommend listening to Impacto for the candyland scene, geniuely so fitting they make me SCREAM 😭 Aside from that, I changed a little thing up about Billy 🥹 Those eyes are looking a little more cooler… Wish i could animate, it looked way cooler in my head LOL

Personally, I feel like if you let Bill play on the Sims, there’s two households and one Billy takes care of while Bill takes care of the other. One house is in flames and the anger and hate is being projected, the other is a normal home that totally isn’t mourning the home that died all those billion years ago chill 😦 totally… just a funny thought in mind 💀

P.S. I nearly forgot to go back my classroom after my break, I ended up showing up late because I wanted to finish rendering Ford 😭🙏 None of my coworkers were bothered tho !!!

@sapphosscribe fanart has been delivered 🙏 expect more 🥹🔥

me praying to whatever exists above that life won’t get in the way of the continuation of human condition this week🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

We shall see.

It’ll all depend on how much I get done tomorrow and the day after.

As of now, I’m hoping I can get the update out Sunday 😁

That Summerween comment fells like an omen...

(almost as much as that eventual smut tag, I'm worried)

The two are not related, but one of them is definitely an omen 😂😉

FANART FOR CH. 29 guys!!! @knockknockwhosthereartistism once again killing it with these two scenes!! Come check them out 🥰❤️

A dark and bright scene from Chp.29!

@sapphosscribe

FANART GUYS!!! THEYRE TOO CUTE 😭😭

Any excuse I can get to not draw a background would be greatly appreciated, thanks. @sapphosscribe

We’ve got fanart added into A Human Condition for the latest chapters!

I’m being productive today 😮‍💨😮‍💨

@orpheuswasmine @knockknockwhosthereartistism @dontjinxit18 @paperbugss @kimpuntoexe @raviolireptile

Fanart from ch. 29 incoming! @dontjinxit18 drew Bill getting a little too competitive over Candyland (Ford loves it though 😉)

Sapphosscribe’s ‘A Human Condition’ chapter 29

I struggled with this one, but I really wanted to push through and draw this scene. I seriously cannot wait for the next chapter, and am very excited for Summerween. @sapphosscribe

Live footage of me answering comments today:

I’m so behind 😅 but we’re almost all caught up! Thanks so much to everyone who comments! I love getting to read them 💕

Not related to the latest chapter, but everytime I see Bill being ignored or mistreated in this fanfic (deserved, but damn) I just want to plug my eyes out like this is too much man. Honestly how the hell this two (Ford and Bill) are even getting together in the end? At this rate one of them is offing the other, I'm pretty much convinced

Not to worry, dear reader, there’s a plan in the works 😉 Some larger plot points are slowly shifting into place.

Summerween is coming…

We have some more character analysis on Bill from the latest chapter of A Human Condition @orpheuswasmine gets into some theories I will neither confirm nor deny. Come check it out after you read the latest! Obviously spoilers abound.

Hey so actually, the newest chapter for A Human Condition fueled my BILL vs Billy analysis and I actually want to CRY, now I’m nack to the board, adding on to it and making more small notes

GUYS GUYS THE MABEL HUGGINHG BILL SCENE, I HAD A VISION 😭😭 I know that face was shifted between those two cuckoos ☹️ but it was Bill who ultimately won over the moment he saw Ford. His selfishness and arrogance come first 😕

Ford bringing the Billy side out through the Candyland game is so heart-wrenching I actually wanted to collapse, they made me so happy and then when Ford realized what was going on, I just VISUALIZED Bill’s face shifting to his default, almost treading the line between BILL and Billy ☹️ and when he called out to Ford, that literally had to be Billy I refuse to believe anything else

It KILLS ME ☹️ personally, I think the only way the Bill vs Billy situation could ever be resolved is Bill accepting Billy and the full healing process continues, or Billy is just completely killed all over again. (Worst-case scenario, Bill accepts Billy but it doesn’t matter because some thing happen and Bill reverts back, the piece of Billy dying)

OH AND THE FIDDLESTAN SCENE HOLY SHIT 😭 GOSH I WAS HOPING FIDDLESTAN WOULD BE INCLUDED !!! They made me so happy this chapter, had me in tears fr… Sorry, I might be overthinking this, and maybe call this a stretch or not, but the fixing the railroad was such a perfect parallel to Bill and Ford ☹️ Except with was the oppsite, where Stan went into a defense mode and then soon softening up, quite literally the opposite to Bill 😭 Stan continues to parallel Bill but he’s if Bill changed for the better. Fiddlestan and Billford my beloved.

Both these couple weave together so beautifully and it drives me insane ☹️ to love someone who doesn’t know themselves is the most challenging form of love, but they just need to guide each other to the safety of security 😭

Fiddlestan being included guys, im actually so happy and such the perfect balance for Billford angst that’s actually going to bash into us. I fear they are going to have so much parallel to each other and I’m not ready ☹️

This was Chapter 29 got me looking like bro 😭 LIKE HOLY FART, what I give to already be good at animations because I would have absolutely tried animating so many scenes 😭 A Human Condition is so animated worthy and that would stop me from at least learning 🥹

@sapphosscribe I SHOULDVE WAITED FOR THIS CHAPTER TO BE OUT BUT IT SERIOUSLY HELP ADD ON TO EVIDENCE FOR MY ANALYSIS 😭😭 back to the drawing board everyone, i need to AT LEAST make a sketch for the scenes i want to redraw 🥹

bro human condition updated and i literally screamed in delight and scared the shit out of my waiter i feel so bad

I wish I could have seen that in person 😂 Poor waiter!

Enjoy the new chapter for dessert 🍰 Thanks for sharing this, it made my night! 🌸

It’s here, dear readers! Your regular Sunday update!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/58360870/chapters/163920049

Come uncover the MaLarkey Code!

GUYS GUYS GUYS!! @orpheuswasmine’s posters are done and they are magnificent!! There’s also a great character analysis to go with it!! Ahhhhh!!! 😆😆

Expect an update tomorrow. I know you’ve all been patiently waiting 😉🥰

“I need some to remember me.”

HUMAN CONDITION POSTER FANART DROPPP RAAHHH 🔥🔥🔥

I WAS GOING THROUGH SM BUT HERE THEY ARE !!! Took so long hope you all like them though !!!

“I need something bigger then the sky.”

The Remenants of Bill

“Hold it in my arms know it’s mine.”

The Thriving Seed of Bill

“Just how many stars do I need to hang around me?”

This took me a while !!! And I can talk about the Bill vs Billy whole thing now 💀

Basically, how I read a Human Condition, it’s practically this whole dichotomy of Bill vs Billy and no one is aware of it. Believing Bill can change is an act of believing Billy is there, believing Bill can’t change means Billy is dead.

Billy is the root of Bill’s empathy and change, or what Bill would call, the root of his weakness. Bill considers Billy weak and deadweight, something worth forgetting. In the first lines, we ever read from Billy in A Human Condition is, “Just fit in”.

In the beginning of the Billy storyline, he himself in a major contradiction to Bill’s own beliefs and self-worth. Billy is what everyone hopes to achieve in the end, but Billy died the day Bill destroyed their dimension… right? Yes and no 🐺

The remnants live on and begin to crack through ways that Bill has taken notice of, especially when he’s with Mabel. It’s moments where he spends time with Mabel, I picture the hostile face shifting to a more softer and rounder face. Mabel brings out the best in him. Unknowingly the reason Billy returns. It isn’t just Mabel that brings the Billy side out. It could be objects of interest or of fear and even guilt. Objects of interest could be the silly straw or the spaghetti scene from the recent chapter. The fear and guilt of Billy is brought out by Ford when he chokes him out or when Bill wanders into the mind space Ford had locked up.

I have more to say about Billy, but man I gotta talk about Bill because I got so much to say about him.

Bill is a cheat, liar, and other say, a monster through and through. But Bill is simply a manifestation of survival and going against all of that he knew. The line in chapter 27, “Yes. I’m completely cured. My irregularity will not affect my ability to fit in, your excellence.” This is a lie that Bill said, this was an act of wanting to survive and protecting himself. This is also the point in the Billy storyline that Billy starts to identify himself with Bill and this is the same chapter where his mother and father starts to call him, Bill, as well.

This is the plantings seeds of Bill, that continue to thrive even after failing the very thing he was manifested for. He allowed not just himself but Billy to die. It’s only now they have another chance, but Bill believes he’s the sole reason why they had survived for so long before. Billy is weak and can only bring in danger. This pathetic, weak, piece of him is holding him back, and yet it is something worth protecting just to survive.

We see Bill truest form through lines like, “But Bill wasn’t weak. He was strong and he was smarter than all of them. They didn’t see it yet, but he could prove it! He only needed time. He wouldn’t be a burden, he would be a credit to all triangles, like his parents had said. He was different than other irregulars. He was better.”

But the next line is, “Because Bill was weak in the eyes of Euclydia. He was a freak, an irregular. He was made wrong. And yet. Bill wanted to live.”

Bill is a manifestation of wanting to survive and not letting anyone in. Even in this weak human form, that motivation drives home. He is protecting not himself but Billy as well.

I imagine if you were to enter Bill’s mind, it would be this split down the middle where Bill and Billy are seprated, but both of them have a piece of each other. Bill with a younger and triangle Billy, while good old human Billy is trapped with a more familiar triangle Bill.

Here’s pictures without the word 😼

“To finally get somewhere I can be all done.”

“Somewhere like Heaven.”

That’s how read Bill and Billy’s storyline and interpreted it. The drawings showcase them and in their own spaces. I like to think Bill is in the darkest part and only he and Billy illuminate the space. I gave him crazy long hair that would be everywhere since he is everywhere and because having long hair is great, but such a pain to try and maintain and take care of.

Billy looks the most like Bill’s human form, since he practically accepted this and the only artical of clothing he’s wearing is the sweater Mabel has gifted them. He’s in the brighter and hopeful side since he holds all the good parts. He’s just trapped with a piece of Bill, still trying to guard him.

Can’t wait to see what A Human Condition has in store and I’ll probably continus on with this theory/headcanon 😭 I actually have some headcanons about Bill and Billy, but idk if anyone wants to hear allat 💀

@sapphosscribe AGAIN, you’re such a talented writer! Got me thinking and all 😭 can’t wait to see what you have been cooking up 😼
