can you tell us more stuff about Party Billiam AU? Does Bill ever get bored with his new life? Do the kids get along with him or is he a ~bad influence~
EEE, Party Billiam AU! <3
Do the kids get along with him or is he a ~bad influence~
Bill is as much of a ~bad influence~ as any other Grunkle!
(...which is to say yes, of course he is, oh my glob, why are they minding children?!?)
He's been known about by the twin's branch of Pines since before they were born, although the twins haven't really visited Gravity Falls until this summer. Bill's continued presence has made the Falls even weirder and more dangerous (they have a swooping season now! never took care of that pesky pterodactyl/terrordactyl/pterrordoubledactyl problem... annual bet on lil gideon's survival)
Bill initially thought human babies were super boring but Fordsy was sooo excited (to re-meet them), and then they started causing toddler chaos which he can get behind, so they grew on him over the years. He's excited to get up to actual shenanigans with them! Real distant, older relative trying to be cool energy, it's both cringe and endearing!
Dipper was shocked on arrival to find his Grunkle Bill was actually a talking magical triangle, even though it was completely not a secret, Bill never even attempted a humansona. (Dipper just thought his parents were maybe lowkey homophobic about his uncle, who according to them, "completely lost his mind, for sure joined a cult in the 80s where he then married some dangerous wackjob monster from the woods and on top of that, still lives with twin brother? it's a weird WEIRD side of the family!")
Mabel is not at all shocked about any of this triangle business and is very smug about it because Dipper's been calling her crazy about really believing Bill=Triangle for years ("Dipper, he's in all these author photos with Grunkle Ford! What did you think he was, a puppet? "YES??? I thought he was supportive, but camera-shy!")
Bill has a lot of fun messing with Dipper! (he's just so EASY to rile up, look at that adorably angry face!). Mabel is generally his fav nibling and they vibe well, but her taste in music tends to cause him actual pain and her weirdness sometimes even shocks him.

Does Bill ever get bored with his new life?
The tradeoff is worth it, but having actual tethers to places and people and responsibilities still kinda makes him panic about being trapped and limited. His mad wanderlust still exists, and usually he mixes that into his multiverse party planning/demolition gigs... but at the end of the day, going home to Ford is what he really wants. A tiny slice of (relatively) normal life. Sometimes he just needs space to blow off steam... and if he was forced to stay in Gravity Falls ALL THE TIME, despite how he does love the place and his family there, he'd blow his top!
(Bill does chafe somewhat, sometimes, from losing a great deal of his power, but that's a separate issue)

Will V-Line Ever Electrify Their Train Lines?
Tumblr media
For those who don't know, V-Line is the intercity train network across the state of Victoria, Australia. It connects the main city of Melbourne across the outer towns within the state. The busiest route on the network is the Melbourne to Geelong line, with trains running every 30 mins. The travel time between the 2 cities is an hour.
V-Line runs a fleet of 3 different trains, the Velocity which mostly used on the Geelong line, the Sprinters which is used on the Seymore line in northern Victoria and lastly the diesel locomotives which are currently being phased out and being replaced by the new Velocity fleet. The entire fleet of V-Line trains are powered by diesel engines.
For the busy Geelong line, one can ask a fair question, why not electrify this line? if trains run frequently, wouldn't it be more cost effective to be using electric overhead wires rather than burning diesel fuel?
Diesel is not only expensive, but it is also a pollutant to the air. If you have ever been to Southern Cross station, stand around on one of the V-Line Platforms. The fumes can be quite unbearable depending on your respiratory tolerance.
I have ridden the V-Line Train to Bendigo which was a 2-hour ride. I was very impressed with these trains. They were comfortable, quiet and had toilet amenities. Contrast to the New South Wales Intercity aged V Sets, they do not compare.
The first phase of electrification part would be to install the overhead wiring along the tracks. As the distance is approximately 80km, this should be easily achievable.
The second phase will be to purchase a new fleet of electric powered Velocity trains. As there are multiple diesel fleets running on the Geelong line, they can still be used on the other lines as replacement of the old locomotives. Unless these fleets can be retrofitted with electric motors, then this phase will be a costly one.
The last phase will be to upgrade Geelong station. Not only to electrify the Platforms but adding another 2 platforms to accommodate the trains running on the non-electrified routes will be essential. Geelong city is growing rapidly as a business hub. It already has Avalon airport close by and a ferry terminal. Both Avalon Airport and the Ferry terminal are close to the railway line meaning that one day new stations will be added to provide rail passenger services Between Geelong and Southern Cross Stations.

Do you use the Geelong V-Line service? Do you think it's time to electrify?

This has to be an AU already right? I’ve never seen it. I’m doing it. My city now
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The angst potential alone haunts me. How long do you think he waited for Ford?? When did it start to sink in that nobody was coming to save him, that nobody would miss him? Would anybody even want him back? How long did it take for his anger, his heartbreak, his grief to turn into acceptance and a belief that this was divine retribution? How long did he work, how many jobs did he take, how much wealth did he accrue, how many brushes with death did he have until he believed he’d “earned” the right to go home and see his brother?? Many such questions. I need to go deeper

In my heart, Ford once went to an ice dimension and got Really Good at ice skating, and now he's absolutely insufferable about it.
