Why is Bill Cipher such a God-tier villain?

You guys are just feeding my obsession with this show by continuing to send these asks, it’s great.

Okay *cracks knuckles* why Bill is a good villain:

Alright, so first of all, I gotta talk about imagery here. To start with, half of Bill’s surreal quality is the fact that he’s just. a giant floating eye surrounded by a triangle. Giant floating eyes are already well ingrained into the minds of the general populace as bad because of Lord of the Rings. Bill’s creepiness is capitalizing on the Eye of Sauron vibes he gives off. And then there’s the rest of him. Like, I called this guy The Illuminate Triangle (still do sometimes) for a long time because that’s what he looks like. And the Illuminate represents, in the human mind, secrets and cover-ups and unknown and danger. So, just from the fact that he’s a floating triangle eyeball, Bill is already subconsciously giving the viewer creepy/bad vibes. 

Next we have the fact that you literally never know what this guy is gonna do. Like, one minute he could let you go just for kicks and then the next minute he could turn around and turn you into anthropomorphous sludge, just because he can. He is totally and completely unpredictable. It’s like (shhh, I just re-watched the movie) that bridge-keeper scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You never know the third question that guy is gonna ask. It could be “what’s your favorite color?” or it could be, “What is the capital of Assyria?” you don’t know! And, more importantly, the characters don’t know. And a wrong answer gets you yeeted off a bridge into an abyss. That’s what Bill is like. And that creates tension. Unpredictable villains are fun to write and terrifying to witness. Ones like Bill are especially fascinating because he also has no morals. He WILL betray you and you KNOW this if you know anything about him. So even trying to make a deal or beg for mercy might be pointless... or it might not be. You don’t know, and that makes for a villain who can keep you on the edge of your seat.

Third, Bill actually delivers on his threats. Weirdmageddon is every bit as bizzare and horrifying as you expect, and possibly even more so. The Rift finally opens and we get the payoff that we’d been promised for two seasons. This is strange, disturbing and slightly terrifying to the viewers, and almost destroys the characters. Which is the point. Bill is a legitimate threat to the heroes! You are afraid for Dipper and Mabel and their friends when they’re up against Bill, because you legitimately don’t know if they can win (of course they must, because this is a children’s TV show, but the fact that it makes you doubt that even for a second is the point. You don’t know that Dipper and Mabel and their friends and grunkles will be okay, because Bill is a formidable villain). Personally, I wouldn’t have been surprised if Stan or Ford had died during Weirdmageddon, which brings us to our next point....

....Only a great sacrifice could have defeated Bill. Yes, this does make him a good villain. A villain is good if the heroes have to lose something important to defeat them. And they do. Stan was the cost of defeating Bill, and just because they figured out how to bring Stan back doesn’t make the sacrifice any less massive and important. See, sacrifice means we’re invested. If nothing needs to be sacrificed, then why should we care? Why is a villain so bad and hard to get rid of if we lose NOTHING when we get rid of them? Not losing anything makes the defeat of a villain seem hollow and makes the villain themselves seem silly and inconsequential. If a villain like Bill is as evil as we’re meant to believe then the cost of getting rid of them must be high. (Also, an essay for a different time, but in addition to losing Stan the innocence of Dipper and Mabel and every other kid in Gravity Falls was lost because of Bill- before and after Weirdmageddon- and *ahem* there HAD to have been a LOT of people with trauma after all that insanity).

And to top it all off, Bill sounds like that annoying side-character you wish would get written out of the story. He is outwardly comical, but actually he is brutal and indiscriminatory. You initially underestimate him because he doesn’t seem overtly dangerous. And he counts on that and uses it to his advantage so he can trick and use people. 

TL;DR- Bill is a good villain because he is unpredictable, carries through with his threats, and defeating him comes at a high cost to the heroes.

Angel y/n coming home to find demon harry naked on the bed reading. How smug he would be at the shock on her face

All Y/N wanted to do was show Harry the cute devil-horn pattern cooking apron she’d found at Target.

That’s all she wanted to do.

She just wanted to come home and hold it up proudly to see him break into that fond, giddy smile he gets whenever she does something that makes him extremely happy. She just wanted to hear that adorable boyish giggle he’d release while slipping the ribbon over his head and tying the back into a knot, snorting once he saw that the ends of the strings had little pointed peaks to symbolize devil tails. He’d say he loved it and thank her with a chaste kiss to her forehead, a pat on the bum, and probably some crude remark about how he used to own an apron with topless women on it.

Instead, she got much more than what she bargained for.

Granted, she should’ve announced that she was home as soon as she walked through the front door. It would’ve given Harry a heads up on her presence and she’s maybe about fifty percent confident he would’ve handled himself accordingly.  

But Y/N had wanted to surprise him, too excited to thoroughly think her plan through.

She swiftly sets down the rest of the groceries onto the kitchen island, kicking off her shoes and dashing up the carpeted stairs to their shared bedroom on the top floor of the condo, the apron whipping behind her.

Y/N bumps the door of the room open with her shoulder, already holding up the apron before her with an ecstatic`aura evident in her tone. “Harry, look what I found at—”

Her words lodge in her throat like a demon blade.

Laying on the bed is Harry, back propped against the headboard and legs crossed casually at his ankles, a worn, aged, wine-colored book propped easily against his thighs. The scraped up cover of the novel has its title engraved in reflective gold calligraphy, some of the letters stained with a dried, suspiciously dark liquid: Demonology et Transcendentalis Magia: Carminibus et Invocationes.

In smaller, copper-tinted print below the cursive is the title in English: Demonology and Transcendental Magic: Incantations and Invocations.

However, the satanic scripture isn’t what causes Y/N to release a strangled yelp.

It’s the fact that beneath the book, Harry’s thighs are utterly bare, as well as the rest of his legs, and the rest of his entire body. He’s completely nude.

Her choked sound of mortification pricks at his ears, his head snapping upwards in startled confusion.

The curls at the nape of his neck and around his ears are visibly damp, the rest neatly combed back from his face as to not disturb his immersion in the grimoire. His eyes flit completely black for a second and out of protective instinct, he mumbles a quick, simple defensive spell under his breath. “Ligaveris.”

Bind.

Y/N’s arms immediately slam down at her sides, an invisible force tightening all of her limbs together stiffly until she cannot move a single muscle. It feels as if she’s trapped inside a straight jacket, her whole body completely immobile from her neck down. In the spur of the moment, the apron had been ripped from her grasp and ended up strewn across the floor at her feet.

Harry’s eyes flicker from the silly article up to his girlfriend’s spooked face, apologetic familiarity dissolving away the alarmed contempt that had furrowed his brows and inked his eyes dark. “Oops.”

“‘Oops?!’” Y/N’s voice is strained and high, full of stunned fear that is slowly ebbing into annoyed range. “Get me the hell out of—”

“Solvo.” Release.

Her entire body slumps down as the rigidness in her muscles disappears into thin air. She takes in a slow, shaky breath, letting it out gradually.

She keeps her gaze focused down onto the ground, zeroed in on a faded stain in the carpet a few inches from her left foot. Her voice is full of irritated indignation. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

She doesn’t have to look up to know he has a smug simper plastered across his tinted lips. His sly tone reveals it quite well. “Reading, obviously.”

She can sense him waving the book in the air haphazardly for emphasis, hearing it plop back down against his naked lap.

“Naked?!” Y/N nearly shrieks, still on edge from the sudden attack. “You’re reading naked?”

He shrugs carelessly. “I like to air dry.”

The snark in his remark causes her to shut her eyes in order to reign in composure, wanting to avoid smiting him into a black grease spot.

“You’re practicing satanic magic in our apartment, on our bed, nude?”

“Maybe so.”

Y/N snatches up the apron from the floor. “As if the nude part wasn’t bad enough?”

“S’not my fault you decided to waltz in here unannounced! You’re lucky I didn’t go with the spontaneous combustion spell.”

She indulges an exasperated sigh, the fabric of her gift crumpling in her fist.

The sound of the bed creaking echoes across the walls of the room, light footsteps padding across the carpet. Y/N can feel Harry closing in until he’s right in front of her, shifting her gaze from downwards to across the room to avoid an eyeful.

It lands on the small metal cross she has pinned to the lamp shade on her nightstand, which of course is now flipped upside down. She has to actively force herself to keep from glaring directly at him out of angry impulse.

It’s not helping that he smells of orchid apple shampoo and Tom Ford aftershave.

Harry ducks his head to the side and slides further left, trying to catch her line of sight, but she cranes her neck away just enough to avert a full frontal image of his unholy bits.

He leans forward, lips dragging along her stinging cheekbones and clenched jaw, his demeanor sultry and tauntingly persuasive, trying to coax her into looking. “Is that for me?”

Y/N jumps slightly when his fingers sift between her’s, prying the apron from her hold. He keeps his arrogant expression trained on her for a few more heartbeats, eventually tearing away to examine his present.

A preen of childish delight fills the tense air between them as he takes in the point of the gift. “Oh, I love this!”

Out of the corner of her vision she can see him slipping it on, releasing an amused hum (just as she thought he would) as he ties the ribbon around his waist. “The devil tails are a nice touch.”

“I thought you’d get a kick out of it.”

“You can look now, I’m decent.”

Y/N hesitantly abides.

The apron fits him well in length and width, though his broad shoulders are exposed for the most part. But it stops just above his knees, fitting the purpose of saving her from an uncomfortable situation she’s not really ready to face head-on yet (pun unintended, but there nonetheless).  

Not to mention he looks absolutely adorable.

Harry lifts his arms up at his sides expectantly, the edges of his lips jolting into a giddy grin.  “How do I look?”

“Like the cutest demonic chef I’ve ever seen.”

He poses with his chin propped on one of his shoulders, batting his eyes jestingly, dying them black for effect. “The only thing that could make this better was if it said something like ‘Expert in soul food.’ or ‘Summon the cook!’”

Y/N breaks into a heap of full-fledged giggles, his heart doing a summersault at the way her eyes flash with a holographic glint.

“I think…” He leans down and buttons his lips to her’s in a gentle kiss that causes her ears to crackle with literal electric energy, the tiny spurts of pastel blue lightning popping across the shells. He pulls back, pecking the tip of her heated nose. “I think I’m gonna go make us some dinner in my new nifty outfit.”

“I think that’s a great idea.”

Harry glimpses over his shoulder, eyes landing on his spellbook. “Venit.”

Come.

The novel suddenly lurches up from its spot on their bed, flipping closed as it flies through the air right into Harry’s awaiting palm. “I’m feeling some Italian tonight. Lasagna?”

Y/N nods distractedly, eyeballing the book with slight unease as he tucks it under his arm. “I got some fresh mozzarella.”

“Perfect. I’ll call you down when it’s ready.”

Harry brushes past his girlfriend, her eyes following him to the door. She should’ve known better.

Aprons only cover the front.

Y/N gets a wholesome view of Harry’s behind as he walks down the corridor that leads to the stairs; for some reason, she can’t look away. Her eyes trail down his taut back as it flexes with every step, following the line of his spine down to the swell of his ass and the curve of the backs of his thick thighs. He just looks so fucking good.

His voice breaks her little peep show, chiming from a few feet down the hallway with an air of self-satisfaction. “I can feel you ogling at my ass, darling.”

Y/N’s head lurches away, cheeks charring and eyes glowing faintly.

He throws a glance backwards, teeth digging into his bottom lip as it curves into a cocksure, pleased smirk; he pins her with conceited once-over.

“If you wanted to look at it so badly, y’just had to ask. It is yours, after all.”

star wars: THE RISE OF SKYWALKAH!

i am very ashamed to report that i actually found star wars super enjoyable. i’M SORRY, INTERNET!!!!! i think i was prepared for all the disappointing things, and hadn’t heard about anything else, so all the not-terrible stuff was a pleasant surprise. also, i’m not a star wars person, so i was just watching things in front of my eyeballs, a total cretin, not caring a whit about literally anything in a smart or analytical way.

some random silly thoughts:

i think my biggest complaint is Not Enough Rose, because Not Enough Rose!! D:

[meme of that excited lady] VILLANELLE?????

i cannot believe that villanelle was rey’s mom all along. truly, lived up to the hype of her mystery parentage. i don’t even care about that palpatine element.

it really cracked me up that palpatine was somehow wearing a snazzy little red number underneath his cloak of evil. how? when?? why??

i also loved when that big ol’ contraption had to kind of stand him up and move him around, because all i could visualize was an old person riding up one of those chair thingies that you put on the stairs.

that shot of rey dying and looking up at all the destruction and death in the battle above her really resonated with me as someone who has had a lot of death in their life lately. i don’t know why that, specifically, struck me so much as a moment and an image, but it did. it was a powerful moment for me.

more cheerily: rey/finn/poe = MOST ADORABLE SPACE THROUPLE!!!!! that was a good hug, y’all. i found all their adventures (with their bonus wookiee and droid crew) very delightful. they are all just the cutest and the greatest.

c...can oscar isaac and john boyega play a couple in a movie as soon as humanly possible? their bantering-but-in-love chemistry is OFF YE OLDE CHARTS.

i actually didn’t really mind all the rey and kylo ren stuff; i think it sort of appealed to my inner gothic melodrama heart. i personally didn’t feel like it ~made rey’s whole arc about an abusive man~ to the extent that the internet suggested it. i kinda read it more as her own battle with her inner darkness and demons and kylo almost being a physical manifestation of that, a la gilbert and gubar’s reading of bertha as an outward manifestation of jane’s inner anger and darkness, etc. i also thought there was kind of a cool persephone energy with the whole “rey is queen of the siths now!” thing and the way it felt like her going into the land of the dead. (siths? sith? idk star wars, y’all.)

me: wow, rey and the artist formerly known as kylo are giving me a real sibling vibe in this movie!

rey and the artist formerly known as kylo: literally kiss on the mouth for like a long time

me: wow, rey and the artist formerly known as kylo are giving me a real sibling vibe in this movie!

(idk, man, they just seem like soul twins and possibly literal blood relations somehow. sort of a cathy and heathcliff thing. also, it occurs to me at this very moment that jodie comer looks rather like a blend of young carrie fisher and young mark hamill. LONG LOST SKYWALKER TRIPLET!)

i actually thought adam driver was pretty good in this movie, especially the way his whole essence somehow became that of an awkward 13 year old boy as soon as the evil was stripped from his soul by harrison ford. that last shot of him smiling and then dying was really striking. i guess i get the hype, adam driver, but i still can’t promise you that i’ll stay awake for all of marriage story. (i watched the first half and fell asleep. whoops.) i was also overcome with a sense of strange power because i’ve seen adam driver’s face in this movie, but he never will! he’ll never know what his face was doing, but I KNOW because i’ve seen it with my EYES!

(it’s possible i’m too fascinated by adam driver refusing to watch or hear any of his performances. as someone who rereads all my own writing all the time for fun, Cannot Relate.)

i would love, love, love, loooooove a spinoff movie with sort of the tone of rogue one about jannah the former stormtrooper woman, starting with her being stolen away as a kid and going through the mutiny and building a new community with other former stormtroopers, etc. i feel like that could be so good and she had so much intriguing potential as a character.

that shot of all the ships that showed up to help fight, in the blue sky with that sort of dreamy quality that almost made it seem like balloons from mary poppins or something, was so beautiful i got a little choked up. i just feel so burned out and heartbroken about the world, so it was just such a beautiful visualization of such a beautiful idea.

my FEELS at every sight of billie lourd!

i cannot believe you would not even show keri russell’s face like that. what a waste!

can we just have more movies about finn and rey and poe and rose and jannah and the droids and billie lourd being cute? if we need someone else, charlie from lost can come too. maybe they all find a new baby yoda together? banter? have romantic confusion while dancing in a snazzy space club? drink space coffee together? talk about the issues but keep it funky? i want basically the star wars version of a friends-style sitcom. this is all i want.
