I see your “Bill and Ford go to therapy together” and I raise you “Ford being the therapist”

What if the Axolotl had a pantheon?

I was playing around with my main AU and finally got around to designing Blarbador (yes, his name is super silly. I love him. I got it from Blood Chains, which is a REALLY great Billford fic if you're interested!). In my AU, he's here to make Ford's life hell! What a lovely fella.

Stanford was cursed by Blarbador to never be able to stay in a single dimension for longer than six years, as punishment for his and his partner's crimes (that being Bill, who died before Blarb could bring him to justice). As an immortal, his punishment is eternal, and as a human, his torment is never ending. Blarbador taunts him about it from time to time, but it's rare for him to appear "in person" again.

And yes, my Ford is a huge centipede! I love him!

Sosososos the bill having a hard time reading just imagine.... the axolotl gets him a appointment to the eye doctor LIKE BRO THE WAY HE WOULD HAVE THE HARDEST TIME TRYING TO READ THE LETTERS

(this anon is referring to this comic i made, check it out for context!) (edit: you can find some more glasses!bill doodles here too!)

THIS IS SO REAL. bill 100% fought the theraprism staff who were trying to get him to the eye doctor in the first place for MONTHS. they kept telling him it would improve his quality of life but he is NOT HAVING IT. he only eventually agreed to go ON THE CONDITION that he doesn't have to get saddled with any medication. turns out, he doesn't need any.....just glasses :)

glasses bill is so real to me. thank you for sending this ask, i was looking for an excuse to doodle him <3

kind of personal, but i have severe astigmatism, and didnt know that until i was 18. the first night after i got my glasses, i looked up at the sky, and i realized that i could suddenly see WAY more stars than usual. and i remember tearing up, because i thought the sky was boring and star-less for everyone, but turns out they were just too far away for my nearsighted-ness to see. and i love projecting so i couldnt ignore the mental image of bill realizing that the stars-- that he already loved-- were even better when he could see them properly, without being medicated or having to squint.

yeah man I think god told me to come here? soooooo

(AU info under the cut!)

Stan gets a weird dream one night while he's in the south americas, where an axolotl, though larger than he'd ever seen, came to him and told him that his kin had trusted the wrong people and was about to make a horrible mistake. Stan wakes up, unsure if it's real, only to find many wild ones watching him. None of them are malicious, but it's still freaky.

The next night, he has a similar dream, where Ax warns him that a great danger is coming. But, Stan has the ability to potentially stop it. Stan actually asks what Ax is talking about, to which the Axolotl tells him that "your kin is bound to an ancient evil who wants to recreate chaos long forgotten, from a different world. But your kin knows not of this, thinking him benevolent. Show him differently, and evil's chaos may yet be contained."

Stan wakes up in a cold sweat, still not 100% sure that any of that was real, but throughout the day he gets little hints that Ax is still with him. So he calls Ford, by the Axolotl's wish, telling him that something weird is happening to him. Ford invites him under the pretense of solving another mystery (which is true, as Stan doesn't know if this is real.)

From there, two storylines start to unfold at the same time; the Axolotl trying to show Bill redemption and hope, who keeps turning him down and away, and classic Pines twins interconnected family drama.

And Fiddleford.

REALM RULERS AU: How it began Comic

Full |||||

Now they're normal office workers, yippie!

I MIGHT make a continuation comic about what job Ford does specifically with the realm, how Bill convinced the Henchmaniacs to join, and the hijinx the Fearamid Office gets into.

Then maybe something about how Bill bonds with gideon and how ford makes up with Stanley again. Then ofc Bill and Ford starting to get used to eachother again.. n maybe more 😏
