People and their stupidly AMAZING "Bill Cipher Gravity Falls" mom and dad interpretations.

I love getting weird with it. I love Flatland designs. I love seeing all their gooshie gross organs from a 3D perspective. I love how uncanny yet cute they can be. I want these 2D shape people to be happy and healthy.

Not a lot of people really reference it, but ((in the Flatland 2007 movie at least)) they have 2D eyelids meaning they can convey emotion and ahhhhhh. Make them do this —— or — — and that’s like 😑 and 😳.

These two definitely have something in common, you can see it, right?

And this two too...

In conclusion, all of them need to go to therapy

Reading flatland and obviously Bill’s home dimension and flatland aren’t exactly the same, but like. Since we don’t know which parts are different I’m just thinking. This is really unorganized and all over the place and probably doesn’t make any sense but

In flatland, it takes a LOT of planning for an equilateral triangle to be born. I’m talking like generations of interbreeding and methods for the fathering isosceles to get as close to equilateral as possible. It’s a huge deal. When an equilateral is created, it’s celebrated by pretty much everyone (for a miriad of different reasons but I won’t get into that). And being “irregular” in any respect is one of the worst things you can be. If you don’t “fix” your irregularity enough, you’re executed.

So imagine Bill’s family working their triangular asses off to have an equilateral kid, to give him a better life, and when they finally do it, he’s got that eye. From what we’ve seen of his parents, they seem to have taken care of him as best they could, but again, it’s been a whole ordeal just to have him, involving the whole community and family, and he came out wrong.

I imagine that’s probably why his parents took him to see the doctor and drink the “juice” that messed with his vision. They thought they were doing what was best for him. They didn’t blame him for his eye, didn’t hate him for it, but they felt the need to fix him, either to please their families or even just bring him to their own standards. The idea of irregularity being wrong is seen as natural and obvious, so they wouldn’t find an issue with trying to change him.

Another thing about flatland is that the mention of any third dimension or any idea close to that is pretty much criminal. (Spoilers i guess) The narrator of the story, a square who saw the third dimension for himself, is eventually locked away for talking about it.

So Bill was supposed to be a sort of miracle baby, I guess is the best way to put it. And when he came out just slightly but irreparably wrong, it was devastating. And then he starts spouting about 3D and the stars and he just wants people to understand, to see that it’s not dangerous, that it’s beautiful. But his parents don’t want him to get imprisoned or worse, so they try to keep him quiet. They give him his juice and his silly straws and wave away any ideas about the third dimension.

Bill was born a disappointment, one of the lowest life forms imaginable, and the only way he was gonna get anywhere in life was by losing his stars forever. He was told that the thing right in front of him wasn’t real, that he should stop talking about it, that he could get in trouble. So he had to show everyone that he was right. He would be a hero! He would be the kid who finally discovered where the light came from, something no scientist had ever gotten close to figuring out!

But in the end his parents were right. It was too dangerous. God bill tragic backstory is so ougrhhhhj grabs alex hirsch by the shoulders and shakes him

I want to share a funny story.

As I said, one of my favourite book is flatland but I technically learned about this book in a different way respects to other fans.

As I notice here on tumblr a lot of people principale know this book in only two ways.

Or they have read it, maybe in school or somewhere else, or they have se the movie adaptation (I only learn about this movie from here lol)

(Some people maybe have learned of this book via Internet, like tiktok or other social but I think this is more like a new way for learn about this book so I don't count it because I'm talking more about people who learned of this book when they where younger, some year ago not today but it still a valid way to acknowledge the existence of this book)

I technically learned of this book from another book.

So basically.

When I was like in elementari schools (I think) my father bought a collection of book about math.

I'm not good in math and I wanted to understand it better so I chose one of the books, the one that looked more interesting and I pick one called "The fourth dimension what if our universe is the shadow of another?"

(I translate the title so I don't know If the English version is called differend)

(I found this picture online because I don't have the book with me right now)

So this book use flatland for explain how dimension work and it was very good.

When I tried to read it I was just a child and I never finished or totally understand it (expecially the math part) but I always like the idea of shape with personality, the fisical structure of the world, the house and thing like that so at the end, al lot of years later I'm rereading it and also bought flatlandia because I just love it. I love things about dimension and similar stuff.

So that's it.

I just wanted to share this story because I think it's funny and also because that collection of book is very good even if you don't realy understand math.
