so uh--if anyone was curious what I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters looked like written out in the theraprism cipher looks like--now you know i guess-- (i mean cmon its only fitting dhfhjdfj) (blue/black is verse, red is chorus ✨)
#i still dont know if the cipher has an official name#i just call it the theraprism cipher cause thats where we see it most consistently#also this wasnt done in one sitting i promise#im not that far gone#gravity falls#bill cipher#book of bill#the book of bill#theraprism#substitution cipher#scissor sisters#i cant deciiiiide

Alphabets I can now read without looking at a reference:
Wingdings (uppercase ONLY)
Daedric (Homestuck version)
Bill Cipher’s Substitution Cipher
#undertale#utdr#homestuck#gravity falls#the book of bill#my ability to read REGULAR daedric + the rest of the substitution ciphers is more limited#(i’m closest to mastering therapism and farthest from mastering Ford’s)#all of these have come in handy WAY more often than you’d think

i have no idea whats going on in the Gravity Falls lore outside of the show. I know theres a new book and apparently Ford and the Evil Dorito Being fucked nasty style??
So before I go down that rabbit hole, I figure I could remind everyone of the canonical Human Form of Bill Cipher:

(From Alex Hirsch himself, created during a live stream for charity. posted to reddit here)
#shitpost#gravity falls#bill cipher#human bill cipher#like seriously whats going on in the fandom#I watched it when it aired and I loved all the secret codes#i would actually go to the return to gravity falls website to decipher random arg codes for years#now i can say stuff like “i can bruteforce a basic alphabetic substitution cipher within an hour” if i want to impress someone#it impressed no one#anyway enjoy your old men yaoi or whatever it is youre doing#i certainly am not one to judge

sometimes I'm talking to someone who's only ever read the translation of a work, and I feel like we're talking about completely different works altogether. This isn't me saying they are wrong, just that this kinda throws me off a lot.
#and like#I get kinda shocked when people don't believe me when I say there just ISN'T a good way to translate some words.#like languages don't translate like the al bhed primers. It isn't a substitution cipher.#they can and most likely will be fundamentally different. different grammar and built on a diff culture and context#feels#I dunno#sometimes I'm talking to someone about a chara I care about deeply and they say something I know was a translation choice made#and sometimes I'm talking about a character and I just actually have no idea what the other person is talking about#i know this sounds complain-y but that's not what I'm trying to do#just making an observation about something that happens to me a lot

Hi I read the entire Book of Bill in one sitting and I'm Fine
#ignore me#Tyto watches GF#chewing on them chewing on them#unfortunately this has only made me MORE ravenous than ever for lore but I am too sleep-deprived for decoding the substitution ciphers so#I will settle for looking up the comics online for some lighter reading before bed hgfjdhgafjs

This is one of the dumbest things i’ve ever drawn in 30 minutes or less
Inspired by me spending several hours last night learning to write the substitution cipher to fluency
I just love the idea of “Let’s try again: *inhuman noises no normal voicebox can make*…. Okay, now you try!”
#if you can read it i am sorry not sorry#bill cipher#dorito husband#my dumb art#legit stupid#why is my substitution handwriting so much better than my actual handwriting

i am FASCINATED by the little scraps i've heard about bill's uncle. am i allowed to know more about him. and if the answer is no do you have a chapter estimate for when i am
yeah sure, I already made a post on Bill's mom, I've finally got enough material to make a post on Bill's dad.
Bill got his gorgeous eyelashes, warm color scheme, black limbs, and personality from his mom. He got his shape, his brick lines, and his slitted pupil from his dad. His dad's a self-made businessman*! (*His dad got suckered into joining a multi-level marketing scheme and now he makes money by suckering other people into joining the MLM scheme.)
And: his dad has a brother. They're twiiins!
Bill keeps targeting twins. (The Stans, the kids, TBOB says Pyronica's got a twin sister Hydronica...) I imagine Bill's twin obsession is rooted in something close to home.
Because Euclid & Euler's eye split in half mid-development, they have unusually oval-shaped eyes—a common sign of twins. They've been going to an optometrist since they were toddlers to deal with poor eyesight and floaters in their peripheral vision. They've had a mix of surgery, corrective lenses, and medication to narrow their field of view to the area they can see clearly. So when baby Billy said he was seeing "bright white dots" on "the outside of everything," Euclid went aha! He knows exactly what Bill's seeing!
He did not, in fact, know what Bill was seeing.
Bill's parents didn't regularly visit family, but Euler was the one relative they saw most often. He was the first person to snap out of the "haha it sure is funny how Bill can guess when somebody's about to knock on the door" rationalizations to realize that Bill really could see things no one else did.
And since Bill's parents are sort of disasters who think starting a cult is a great get-rich-quick scheme, Euler was one of the most emotionally stable role models in Bill's life. It sure is a good thing that Euler was a constant presence and nothing happened to him during Bill's tender formative years!
"But wait," you say, "you told us that Bill got his shape and slit pupil from his dad. But wouldn't that mean he got genes for a square? And how could he have gotten a slit pupil if that wasn't a genetic trait, but a consequence of an eyeball splitting in half?"
Triangles and slit pupils don't run in Euclid's side of the family. But squares and twins do.
I imagine Bill's twin obsession is rooted in something close to home.
"So Steve exists in your headcanon—?" No. He's a stillbirth his parents pretend doesn't exist. He's a crime Bill committed before he was born. He's the imaginary phantom Bill's parents are searching for when they look at Bill—starting fires, hallucinating, spitting up his medicine—and wonder what he'd be like if he was different. He's a symbol representing a source of unconditional love and support that Bill deserved and needed, but never had. Steve's all those things—but he doesn't and never has existed.
And there at last is my Euclid headcanons post. If y'all are interested & didn't see it, here's my Scalene headcanons post! And some headcanons about shape twins that still basically work post-TBOB, we just know now that Euclideans don't need a line and a polygon to reproduce.
(95% of my headcanons about Bill's dad & uncle are pre-TBOB. The only difference is that I originally designed Euclid & Euler as green trapezoids that had split from a hexagon. Trapezoids so that Bill and his dad could do this, green so that Bill's dad could be the original color Bill was designed as before the Gravity Falls crew made him yellow & so that his family could be money-colored: gold-colored Bill & mom, dollar-bill-colored dad.)
(After TBOB/TINAWDC revealed his dad's a triangle and either red or blue, I decided to make the twins blue-green (because I wanted to keep in that "bill's original color scheme" reference) and finagle it so that Euler could still be a trapezoid; after Pyramid Steve came out, I suddenly had a really good thematic reason to make them blue-green. I'd been playing with the idea of making Bill a shoulda-beena twin, Steve finalized that decision by giving me a physical design that could tie into Bill's extended family.)

Uh oh
I can feel The Urge to do something very specific again
#am I going to start sketching letters?#or piece together some typefaces of the substitute ciphers in gravity falls?#I can see the months stretching out in front of me#time to get So Normal between shifts
