Y'know, i bet you, with enough time and research, i could find a link between the past decade's (and maybe beforehand, i'd have to look into when it really took off) rise of hatred towards elves (manifesting especially as hitting elves with the racist-supremacy stick) in mainstream western fantasy spaces with the (continued) condemnation of femininity, or anything associated with women, especially when it buts up against ideas of masculinity (aka, masc as being 'not woman', rather than something that stands on its own).
Because it really feels like a socially-acceptable conduit to vent backlash (y'know, to challenged ideas of masc. to being told 'you're not special', especially with people having such a huge bug up their asses about "perfect" elves, aka 'feminine' figures who are 'better' than the more traditionally masc characters? that sorta thing). Like it's a manifestation of this timeframe's wave of backlash.
I'd really like to look in to that.

thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com complete "riddle" questions and answers
When I first started looking through lists of keywords for thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com, I was confused by a bunch of them which, when entered, produced questions which seem completely unrelated to their trigger phrases. I realized that all the prompts are answers to other questions, meaning it's possible to put them in order and create a complete test. I doubt I'm the first to figure this out, but I still think it's super cool, so here's all the questions and how to find their answers!
(Apologies in advance for the photo quality, they're all described in alt text).
First, you enter the code "RIDDLE" to get "WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME?" which to me is proof that Bill at least has decent taste in movies.
Next, you can either type "NO" or "YES," to get either "YOUR LOSS..." or "WHAT"S MCGUCKET'S FAVORITE SODA"
The answer to this question is "MOUNTAIN DON'T," and while I swear I remember reading this someplace, I can't find the actual source.
Once you enter it, you get the question "WHAT'S A MEDIEVAL HOMONYM?"
Which can be found in the Dark Ages pages of The Book of Bill, in the border of the illuminated manuscript:
"LYRE LIAR"
"Anti-Cipher Tonic" appears near the end of the "Anti Cipher Society" pages, complete with an ingredients list:
The twentieth of which is "Harold's Ramblings"
When you enter it you get another question to which I cannot find the source of the answer, but going off the list of phrases that've been found, I'm guessing it's "UNION MADE"
Bill's government file can be found on the page about the 1940s, and is labeled with:
A number which gets you:
Okay and I swear this is the last one I can't show my work on, but wherever you find it the answer is "Grebley Hemberdreck"
A reference to the picture of Bill celebrating the bubonic plague on the Dark Ages page.
And that funky little rodent gives you:
A reference to Thurburt Mudget Waxstaff III of the Anti-Cipher Society and his eventual fate of being institutionalized:
Once you enter his number, you get a question about tracks in the snow:
Which is answered on Ford's missing journal pages about winter in Gravity Falls:
The tinsel snake gets you "THE 6TH OPTION ON BILL'S EDITING SOFTWARE?"
Which can be found on the page where Bill designs a cover for his book:
The sixth option, "Torture Mentally," leads to:
Which is yet another reference to the Dark Ages, and Bill's adventures with the wizard Xgqrthx the Unpronounceable.
Whose name produces:
An address which is provided on the 1990s Tri Angels page, in the mail order form:
Said address takes you to:
To answer this question, you need to do a little more digging around the website. When you enter the code "NAITSUAF," you get a letter from Bill attempting to recruit you into his MLM soul-selling scheme, complete with this note from his lawyer:
And once you enter the name "MULTILEVEL MARK," you get the final question:
(For some reason I haven't figured out, "CAESAR ATBASH VIGENERE" produces the same result as "MULTILEVEL MARK," so that's one way to skip to the end I guess).
Silas Birchtree is referenced in The Book of Bill on the Cults page:
But his full story isn't revealed until you enter "STOD EHT TCENNOC" on the website.
The whole document is definitely a worthwhile read, but there's really only one aspect that's relevant to our purpose:
It was Emmaline Butternubbins who killed Silas Birchtree (again) in 1952! And when you enter her name into the computer, it tells you that you've finally earned a treat. Huzzah!
(Interestingly to me a least, "EMMALINE BUTTERNUBBINS" and "BUTTERNUBBINS" both work as codes, but "EMMALINE" does not. I guess Bill's not on a first name basis with her).
Anyways, once you enter "DISPENSE MY TREAT," a folder is downloaded onto your device which is full of text-free versions of art from The Book of Bill, which you can use for desktop wallpapers or any other nefarious purposes your mind can conceive of.
I hope you've enjoyed going on this journey with me, because I've sure spent an amount of time on it.

i figure i should have done this sooner, but here it goes
hello, my name is xabi, my pronouns are he/they. i've been drawing for quite a while and my commissions are always open (i keep adding more options as i get better)
i mostly draw for digimon and pokemon, but i also like bnha, haikyuu and a million other things that might or might not make an appearance
i'm also obsessed with making fankids as you can tell by my pokefankid blog
this is my main blog where i reblog a lot of shit and here's also my fanfic blog where i haven't posted my fics yet but i intend to (they're on ao3 anyway)
i work as an EFL teacher at a university, so if i don't post for a while i'm probably busy with work or i'm dealing with a flare up but i always come back because i have the physiological need to draw kouichi x hikari
