Hihihi I'm here with another opinion. And its thats Other Bill is a dumbass.

Other Bill really though familiar Bill was weak because he was playing house with a human. So what if he's domesticated? Does he not realize that this is a version of himself who actually has something to lose. He's the most dangerous!! :/

Other Bill's thought process kinda went like this:

This Bill is Soft for this guy! It's clear when you look at the human's reactions - and even in the environment! All the context pointed right towards some domesticated moron.

And Soft Emotionally = Soft Everywhere = Soft Target. No threat at all!

Clearly this was some whimpering, wailing, quivering, pathetic Bill, that would fold under a bit of pressure. Honestly, he'd be doing the multiverse a favor getting rid of that guy! Squishing (or stealing) his (admittedly cute) human would be a fine precursor to putting him down.

Other Bill did not expect a Bill who was, well. Still very Bill. The mistake he made was thinking that because Bill went soft in one single place - that he'd gone all jello-like everywhere. Classic overgeneralization. Along with a lot of egocentric cognitive biases.

The other dumb thing Other Bill pulled was not changing his plan.

He could have course-corrected when Familiar Bill reemerged- even that first interaction showed him he wasn't dealing with a total pushover - but he figured, hey! If one dumb human could ruin this guy, what could he possibly do against another Bill?

And then he found things out the hard way.

#Overestimating himself and underestimating others #Classic Bill Cipher right there #Other Bill undone by hubris #Familiar Bill still falls into the same trap but he's gone through some stuff recently #His pride's been run through the wringer. Had a crash course in the school of hard knocks #He's about 50% less prone to making egocentric mistakes after all the times he's been thwarted recently #Not gonna catch Familiar Bill dismissing something offhand as a non-threat when it could come back to bite him in the angles #Well. No. He absolutely still does that. But not as often as your typical Bill #His main advantage is that he's *aware* that something innocuous could screw him over. Since he's been caught off-guard so often lately #Even taking a second glance at a situation instead of *assuming* he has it handled is a major check on the hubris #Really shitty for anyone who wants to thwart him though. He's monologuing less and catching people off-guard more #Congratulations Dipper! You simultaneously semi-domesticated a demon while also making him more dangerous #And if Other Bill HAD killed Dipper. Or hurt him worse. Or.#Well overall! Anon is right. Bill actually HAS something to lose now #And if it was taken away from him #Whoo! Man. They would Not like the consequences #Pro Immortality Tip: Don't piss off someone who's also immortal. It never goes well #answers
