anyone else think of how terrifying sock opera must have been for mabel

like

when bipper’s looking down at her with that shit-eating grin, holding the rope?? Yk, that iconic scene??

Yeah, I can’t imagine how Mabel must have felt or how many nightmares sprung from that.

just. Imagine with me, okay? You’re twelve. You have a twin brother who’s been there for you your whole life, and always has your best interest at heart. He’s given up so much for you, and you’ve tried your best to help him in return, helping him solve mysteries and engaging in the things he enjoys with him. You don’t have to do that, but you do, because you want him to be happy.

And one day, something odd happens. He hasn’t gotten a lot of sleep lately, so maybe it’s just sleep deprivation! Maybe he’s just. ..Acting so oddly,, because he’s tired!

yeah. That’s it. At least he wants to help you with your crush for once, even if he wanted to focus on that laptop earlier. You feel kinda bad about ignoring it, but c’monnnn!! This guy is. So hot. You can’t help yourself! .. probably.

When you’re almost halfway through your attempt to impress this guy, this.. puppet you made starts floating, talking to you in the voice of your brother, telling you that he did something stupid (made a deal), and his body is currently being possessed by this triangle jerk you encountered earlier in the summer.

… kinda a lot to take in, but hey!! At least you know what was off now. .. wow, you’re kind of a bad sister for not noticing, huh?

anyways, he needs your help! But it could totally ruin your chances with this guy…. But that doesn’t matter, he needs your help. This only happened because you didn’t help him earlier, so you gotta help him now, right??

you rush to find the only thing that could possibly help you in this scenario. The journal.

And when you do find it, well..

even though you know that is not your brother, that’s a demon, possessing your brother’s body.. it still looks like him. And never have you felt such utter horror, such primal fear at the sight of a simple grin, ear. to. ear.

seeing him above you, standing on the catwalk makes you feel small, useless, insignificant.

and the expression on his face is one you hope you never see his facial features contort into again.

And he’s holding onto the rope that could mean the difference between life or death for you, the rope that is holding you and the wooden cake in the air. You’re lucky he caught it in the first place.

He could drop it any time he wants. Let go any time he wants. And he does, briefly, toying with you.

When your eyes widen and fear squeezes at your heart, he laughs at your pathetic, meaningless actions.

and even though you know it isn’t your brother. You know it’s not him, it’s not him, it’s not, it’s not…

And yet. It sounds like him. His laugh. The little one he makes whenever you make a silly joke, or fall over dramatically, possibly at the expense of your dignity. The one you have heard so many times, usually just as innocent and sweet as the last. And now you hear it again, and even if it’s something else laughing through him,, you can’t help but hear it. Tainted with ill intent.

The day does get saved, however. Your brother gets back into his own body not too much later. And everything is back to normal!

….. but.

You can’t help but remember that moment whenever he smiles a bit too wide, or laughs a bit too hard.

You can’t help but stay awake at night, replaying that moment. Telling yourself that it wasn’t him.

And you still have nightmares about it, too. Where you don’t notice until it’s too late and that thing that looks and sounds like him but isn’t him is back and this time you’ve lost, you’ve lost, you’ve lost!

..you wish you were a better sister.

IT'S GRAVITY FALLS TIME💥💥💥

Come check out some Summerween fanart before this week’s update by the fantastic @kimpuntoexe!

For those of you who like jerk Bill… be careful what you wish for 😈.

@sapphosscribe, I loved Bill dressed as The Goblin king, and I loved how much of a jerk he is.. And well, actually, I just loved the whole chapter. I'm really looking forward to this Sunday's update, because that cliffhanger ending is killing me! Summerween is driving me crazy 😵‍💫🍉

Anyway, I haven’t had much time to draw the way I’d like lately, but after wrapping up everything I had to do this week, I finally got around to making more A Human Condition art.

“Look at the ✨ stars 💫. Look how they shine for you. And everything you do.”

@dontjinxit18 did a beautiful job with this scene from ch. 20 of A Human Condition. 🥹 Love this little bit of Mabel and Bill bonding! (Yellow is definitely about them in a completely platonic way, but we’ll get back to that in a couple chapters.😉)

All the way back to chapter 20

Star beamed up at him like he’d offered her a planet.

I’ve been in a funk lately and haven’t been drawing much, sorry. Though I have been rereading A Human Condition so uh here you go.

@sapphosscribe

Live footage of Stan taking Dipper and Mabel fishing in episode 2 😂

GUYS I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS.

Gather round and appreciate the Labyrinth x Gravity Falls crossover by @knockknockwhosthereartistism that absolutely no one besides me asked for but I deeply needed in my soul to be happy 😂😉

The ballroom scene from the Labyrinth ft. Billford

@sapphosscribe

Hey everyone! Come check out some of @orpheuswasmine fanart! 🤩 They’ve done a great job with all the costumes leading up to summerween!

A human condition fanart dump 😼 I wasn’t going to render but I emded up loving the sketch of Bill in Ford’s outfit so I chose happiness 🥹

I was on a PLANE rendering him, and when I tell you my ears have not been free of the aftermath 😭 this might be Bill’s karmic justice against me

Always on about my love for long hair yet I still struggle to draw it 😭 I have a lot of concept ideas for environments in mind like Bill’s and Billy’s headspace. Left brain Right Brain at it’s finest !!!

Of course !!! I had to draw the twins !!! My sibling had looked at my collection of A Human Condition fanart and started DRAGGING ME for completely blocking out Dippers face in my comic canvas 😭 He clocked me, by pointing out the obvious that I didn’t want to draw another face 😿 obviously came to redeem myself I do not like Ford’s face once so ever, so I’ll probably have to make a more updated face model chart for Ford and Stan since they are twins 💀

I want to draw the enviorment headspace between Bill and Billy now as a warmup😼 and maybe get a headstart on the grunkles 🔥🔥🔥 but for that eviorment concelt to work, I might need to rewatch a movie I mentioned before 🐺 So with that, I leave with one of my MANY favorite quotes from The Last Unicorn that fits Bill a little too well:

“Do you hear me? You lost her! You trapped her in a human body! She’ll go mad!”

This isn’t my ultimate favorite quote, it’s what Almathea says when she wakes up after what Molly just said 🥹 But I’m begging everyone to gp watch the Last Unicorn if you haven’y sern it !!! It’s free on YouTube i always start crying after finishing it

@sapphosscribe i might dm you again to show the concept of environments, but I am currently in a whole other country at a party so it’ll probably take a while 😭😭 ENJOY THE SNACKS I HAVE PROVIDED

The rest of Summerween is coming next week. In the meantime, Check out this amazing art of the Pines prepping by @knockknockwhosthereartistism ! You’re going to love what’s to come 😈

I’m being productive today 😮‍💨😮‍💨

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

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 🥹

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

Come uncover the MaLarkey Code!

FANART from @kimpuntoexe!! I love thier interpretation of Bill and Mabel’s mind sharing from Ch. 28 and there’s another art of Bill’s sweater from Mabel! Come have a look!

I love their friendship

I've been really busy these days, so I took my day off to draw this scene from chapter 28 of ahc (as great as always). Honestly, I wasn't convinced by the result of this drawing and thought about scrapping it. But since there wasn't an update last week, I saw it as an opportunity to give it a second look and try to improve it. And...well, here it is <3

Also, these past few days I've been using my free time to reread some of my favorite chapters, and there are a lot of moments from past chapters I want to capture... So expect more fanart from this fic; it's my motivation to finish the weeks.

@sapphosscribe

An analysis of A Human Condition by @crypt-idkeeper while you wait for the next update!! They’ve done a seriously amazing job with this! Come check it out and enjoy it! 🥰🥰

Bill’s relationship’s part 1

yet another analysis of a human condition, this time in parts :3

I wanna start off this ranty analysis with the relationship between Bill and Mabel, especially after chapter 28, I think it provides some wonderful examples of their relationship, and for the moment I will probably mostly focus on said chapter due to its relevance and recency.

Within this chapter we see Bill attempt to manipulate Mabel in a way we’ve yet to see, one that more resembles how he would control his Henchmaniacs and even other followers he’s had in the past, one that has no other purpose other than to fuel his fragile ego and remind said followers of their worth to him. This is obviously caused by the recent events regarding said Henchmaniacs, Bill is hurt and he’s feeling weak, so he turns to his usual attempts at power play to hold himself above the only member of the family that seems to respect him, at least in his eyes. This could also be an attempt to distance himself from Mabel emotionally as to allow him to continue to manipulate her. And of course, when this fails, he returns to his old habits, and tries to buddy up with Ford again, something he seems to repeatedly do when he feels emotionally isolated, but this isn’t about Ford.

We as the readers have known Bill has had a soft spot for Mabel since he backed out of hurting her further in her mindscape in an attempt to hold further power over her through fear mongering, some might say his emotional dependency on Mabel started when he saved her life, and while I might agree, I see that event more as him keeping his options open with just a hint of that emotional value, one where he sees her as similar and chooses to help, perhaps in a way that mirrors the guilt he may feel for Euclydia, though I may be pushing it there.

Mabel choosing to help Bill understand what it means to be human, or his condition, if you will, is an obvious extension of her guilt towards her previous actions and her analytical nature, sure she’s not as observant as Ford or her Brother, but she’s more emotionally intact than they are and less stubborn for that matter, after all she forgives pacifica quite quickly in the show, and in this fic this appears to continue, choosing to spend time with her outside of the main plot. She’s not nearly as scared of Bill and because of this she sees him for what he is, what Stan is beginning to see him as, pathetic, and ill informed, like a neglected toddler taking his frustrations out on his daycare attendants, yes, he needs to be supervised, but he needs to be supported even more so, and he needs to be taught.

Mabel however foolish her family thinks it is, has undoubtedly begun to trust Bill, but she seems to know how to handle herself against him, I mean the immediate deflection of his recent manipulations shows how surprisingly capable she is, yes Bills approval seems to be important to her, but she doesn’t need it, she has the support of her family, something Dipper didn’t think he had when Bill gets to him in the show, and something Ford certainly didn’t have prior to the show, Bill prays on the weak, and Mable is far from weak.

The way this chapter ends with this connection between Mabel and Bill going from what it was, cautious and not without independent values goes to one that now surpasses this, one where Bill has found a reason for human relationships, one where we as the readers can feel that perhaps Mabel will be safe around him, that perhaps his ill intent will fade as his understanding of human emotions and connections continue, as he starts to separate love and fear. What I found strange was the authors inclusion of their minds embracing one another, it’s a very intimate action that felt out of place for Bill, but the descriptions reminded me of Euclydia, that perhaps this form of bond mimics how Euclydians would engage in such physical contact, such embrace, something unique to Bill, something that truly shows the evolution of their relationship and how dependant he is on her.

My final topic of interest is how Bill didn’t shy away from Mabel after Dippers rant to him, after Dipper got into his head Bill didn’t attempt to manipulate her, didn’t distance himself for his own emotional gain. To me this says that Bill craves this emotional connection, and even if he believes its fake, or believes it to be temporary he will still put in the effort if he deems it important, if he thinks he needs it, even if he tells himself he doesn’t he holds these people close, Mabels sweater to him, now serves another purpose, the same purpose as his hat, and the atom from his home, it’s a reminder of his connection and relationships, although the atom is probably more a manifestation of guilt and the hat is something that pushes him to seek power, due to the sacrifice of wealth it symbolised for his family. But the sweater, that’s just connection, human connection, a form of unnecessary care, something to fill the void the other two items make.

In writing this I was tempted to make this more of an actual analysis with quotes and facts to provide evidence more than the statements that I have made here, however I still enjoyed it and I feel the other parts will be the same, but perhaps when this fic is complete, I shall honour @sapphosscribe with a proper analysis or five :3

Chapter update is not materializing today guys. ☹️

It’s been a busy week, but it’ll be out by next Sunday at the latest (maybe sometime through the week if I’m feeling frisky.) either way I’ll let you guys know. It still needs a little work and some tweaking.

extra

Ch. 28 FANART my dears! @orpheuswasmine has done some scenes that look stunning! Come check them out! 🥰🥰🥰

A HUMAN CONDITION RAAAAAAAHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥

Once again, click images for HIGHER QUALITY WOOHOO !!!

The newest chapter of A Human Condition DESTROYED ME 😭 they made Bill so happy and before hand, I was planning on making another grand poster drawing fanart for it again !!! But I had to draw these scenes AHHH

I can’t wait to get started on the next poster promo drawing. I thought that the long hair Bill's drawing took years, but I know this upcoming one is going to take a LONG time. Worth it though! I already came up with the title names for the duology (ITS A DUO ONE OH GOSH) nicely called “The Thriving Seeds of Bill” and “The Remnants of Billy”.

Guys I will go into crazy depths of explaining the war between Bill and Billy in the upcoming fanart, but I’ll be pretty short here me thinks. Throughout the story, Bill is shown hostility, but there’s glaring moments where he drops his anger and danger, a more softer and easygoing side. It’s in the scene in the silly straw, where it was very much written that his face had lit up. I’m basically saying, even though Billy is lowkey dead, he lives on in these moments of his safety with Mabel or when he’s brought back to the memories of his younger self. We’re watching a man slowly return to a more whimsical moment before watching it die all over again.

I could say more, but I’m already yapping enough is 🥹 Plus this means I need to draw two face models for A Human Condition Bill show casing the softer and lighten up Billy side and then the hostile and sharp Bill side. I will post those as it’s own separate thing 🫡 (also, dw, Everlasting Night upcoming chapter is almost done 🙏 STAY STRONG EVERYONE)

@sapphosscribe KEEP UP THE AMAZING WRITING WOOHOOO

Fanart by @raviolireptile you guys!! Absolutely love this interpretation of Bill and the work with all the colors and expressions, it’s so fun!! 😆🥰

Some Billcentric fanart for you guys from the lovely @dontjinxit18. It’s all so fun and whimsical perfect for a chapter that was so lighthearted 🥰. Check it out!

Sapphosscribe’s ‘A Human Condition’ Chapter 28

This “should” be the last post from this chapter, but there were just too many scenes to choose from. Mabel giving him the sweater actually made me cry, along with him cuddling it to sleep, and then being happy to see Mabel again in the mindscape. This fic consumes too much of my life someone stop me. @sapphosscribe
