Uk im just thinking about it but like, how would our Bill react hypothetically if after this is all said and done Dipper Flinches when Bill reaches for him? Like ik that shits gotta be traumatizing and it would make sense for Dipper to react like that for a bit right after but i’m just dying to know what Bill would think about that or how he would cope with those reactions knowing why he’s getting them

:3c

This is fun because Bill is great at nightmares, torment, and all kinds of nasty shenanigans - but reassurance is so far outside his wheelhouse he couldn't see it with a telescope.

Once Dipper flinches, Bill's going to be stuck with his hand in the air, not quite touching Dipper. Definitely not smiling anymore. And experiencing a rare moment of having absolutely no idea what to do.

....So I give it about a minute before his frustration boils over and he defaults to finding something to obliterate.

#I don't think Bill gets to that point though #Dipper knows his husband is shit at this stuff #Bill needs something to go off of to put him on the rails of doing something actually useful #Time to hug onto Bill tight #It's better than Bill storming off to murder and the lightbulb goes off #'Oh *holding* that's easy I can do that'#'Man humans are simple creatures when you get right down to it'#I might write an actual oneshot for this later #Oh Boy is Bill still frustrated though - he's spent *so much* time getting Dipper to the point where he *won't* avoid his touch #One ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE just ruined over a YEAR of work #Not so fun when your carefully constructed sandcastle is the one kicked down is it Bill #Part of Bill is aware he should probably Say Something reassuring but what the fuck *should* he say #There's a concept in his head that he's having trouble figuring out how to phrase #Is disconcerting to think of much less say out loud #Congratulations Dipper you've found a way to make Bill shut up for extended periods of time #This Demon Has No Comforting Skills and can't bring himself to say mushy crap #Bonus: Now Bill's off his game and isn't certain when he *should* try to touch Dipper again #This entire situation has thrown him and he's not at all in his element anymore #Imagine throwing the triangle version into the deep end of a pool and you have about the right idea #Gold isn't known for its buoyancy y'know
