There's this weird take I've seen floating around on TikTok that Bill doesn't actually care about his family/dimension or Stanford at all; that we're supposed to take everything in TBOB as non-canon basically because he's lying to garner sympathy from reader to make a deal with them. I'm all for having your own interpretations of media, but I just don't think this idea that Bill is a completely heartless unfeeling creature is supported by canon at all. In fact, it kind of feels like the opposite of the point of the book.

Like, yeah, most things Bill says should be taken with a grain of salt because he lies a lot, but he's not actually a very good liar? It's usually pretty easy to clock when he's full of it. But okay, even if we assume every word Bill says while trying to recruit the reader is a lie, there are three major things that this doesn't account for.

Bill is not the only source in the book. The lost Journal 3 pages were written by Stanford, we only know about the interdimensional Taco Bell incident because of an included police transcript, etc.

Even once he's lost any chance of making a deal with the reader to escape, Bill is having a complete breakdown and mentions all the people he so totally doesn't miss for real you guys. Why bother with reverse psychology double-lying for sympathy once his shot at getting the reader on his side is already gone?

Trying to garner the reader's sympathy makes sense to a certain extent, but why go out of his way to make himself look pathetic? Does revealing that he got drunk and cried over his ex in a fast-food drive-through really help his cause if that cause is to convince the reader he's still a powerful being capable of starting the apocalypse again so they can rule with him?

And that's all without even mentioning that, as previously stated, I think the entire point of the book is missed if we're interpreting Bill as having no genuine feelings or attachments. The book ends with Stanford healing from his past by being open about what he went through with his family and accepting their help, while Bill insists he doesn't need anyone and refuses to heal, actively making himself worse in the process. The clear theme imo is that accepting your past and accepting help from people who love you is essential to healing, while denying those things just makes everything worse. If Bill doesn't actually care about his family, his dimension, Stanford, or anything/anyone else, he has no trauma to heal from or regrets to learn from that he's refusing to accept and deal with, and the entire meaning of the book is made moot.

Well now I gotta know how Sonic does during Forces when he’s got a baby bro back home waiting for him. (I also need to ask if Baby Tails was there when Sonic was defeated or if he was spared witnessing his big bro get his butt whooped.)

oh y’know

i would’ve made this angsty but decided to be nice instead

anyway no tails was not there when sonic was defeated. amy was babysitting him

Darry who regularly has headaches and migraines so bad he ends up throwing up

Darry who goes to work feeling so lightheaded and nauseous that his boss doesn’t even let Darry drive himself home.

Darry who’s done everything himself for so long he’s forgotten how to ask for help. He’s forgotten he can even ask for it.

Darry who, after a long day, head in agony and the feeling of bile on his tongue, in his throat, on his teeth, having to make diner that night, because Soda is too busy mucking around with Steve somewhere outside, and Pony is off doing who knows what with Johnny and Dally.

All of them coming home to find Darry curled up on the floor, shaking and trembling and in absolute agony. Darry who can’t even keep his eyes open, who can’t stand anymore, knees giving out as soon as he even tries to get up, breathing shallow and fast.
