(ooc): It's from that choose your own adventure book- though I don't know what the poem's called, um.
Sixty degrees that come in threes
Watches from within birch trees
Saw his own dimension burn
Misses home and can't return
Says he's happy, he's a liar
Blame the arson for the fire
If he wants to shirk the blame
He'll have to invoke my name
One way to absolve his crime
A different form, a different time

Ah, then I guess this little bit I found out that's somewhat connected to the poem will be useful- I'll highlight it somehow...or something.

Then there's this thing from a question and answer thing with Alex that was done some time ago, and I just discovered not too long ago:Β LIE UNTIL WHAT YOU WANT TO BE TRUE BECOMES TRUE. LIE UNTIL YOU CANT
REMEMBER WHATS A LIE AND WHAT ISNT. LIE UNTIL YOU ARENT LYING ANYMORE.
And maybe a little psychology will help this section to be properly portrayed.
Now, we know there are five stages of grief:Β denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, and they can be portrayed at any given time, in no particular order.
I believe his "different form" was when he got a "three-dimensional makeover", and at the end, that's probably the only time he had to face his problems, but just before that, he went through...obvious bargaining towards Stanley.
But either way, he commonly stuck to the first two, which could easily explain his bad temper and lack of understanding that what he did wasn't liberation, but destruction. Liberation was probably the excuse he gave himself, really, since there are multiple references to the book Flatland.
Let's just say Flatland is quite strict and isn't nearly as kind to triangles as it is to other classes. And when it comes to Bill's shape, he is canonically equilateral, but I believe "isosceles", in Bill's world, was an insult or was added onto an insult.
Since isosceles were the lowest class, and it was believed in the book that isosceles were barbaric, lacking logic, etc., considered criminals. It was also believe that attitude was associated with shape.
Point is, the only point in time, I believe, that Bill went through the stage of depression was when the event first happened. He kept lying to himself over time, reasoning why it was better that the people of Flatland were gone than staying there, and it all had to do with rules. That was the only thing he could find wrong.
Otherwise, everything seemed to operate smoothly back then, again, because the sheer amount of rules made it impossible to screw up, or you would be supposedly endangering people since everyone had sharp angles.
Either way, what interests me is the Axolotl. Bill is eventually considered an ancient being, sometimes worshiped, and the Axolotl is like...
Well, there's an odd parallel here. What if the Axolotl was the first to be considered "the being with answers"? I mean, his answer to Dipper's question was pretty wise. He's sort of like the...I think seven or eight eyed fortune teller sort of alien lady in journal 3 (I can't remember her name for the life of me).
Why would Bill try and destroy his world? Because of the rules, or the one rule that caused all of them? Everyone's kept in their place, in the book Flatland, because circles find it dangerous for any shape to go in a certain proximity of them. Circles are the only beings without points.
And therefore, they are at the top of the chain of command. They have the power to do whatever, and yet they're the weakest.
If anyone is found as too much of an irregularity, they are killed, and that is because of the simple fact that anatomically, they are unpredictable. It's harder to detect who they are in a literally 2-Dimensional world, one where you can only see someone's side.
That, and if Bill learned about the third dimension, that knowledge is forbidden.
Actually, I don't know where I'm going with this anymore 'cause I just continued rambling. I've read both Flatland, and have almost every piece of knowledge available on Bill, so my brain's going Dipper on me. And I don't mean Flatland the fanfic, I mean Flatland the actual book by Edwin A. Abbott.
Just...I kind of believe Bill could have learned the information he did from the Axolotl, and this has kinda been a continuing theory on my part that I've been steadily trying to develop, but there's so much unconnected information that's just floating in space.
And...the fact that the Axolotl's realm looks sort of dream-like, and the fact that shapes and circles and light appears when Dipper and Mabel are taken into there.
Well, to go from world to world, shapes, at those rare moments, used dreams. That could be how Bill projects himself into a different realm and isn't physically tangible there. So, like...what if the Axolotl did that, and from there, Bill figured out how to eventually? Idk, still working on it.
Again, rambles that probably don't make sense anymore.
Just...if the Axolotl really appeared in that flat world, people would instantly be shouting "irregularity!!1!", and so Bill could have been introduced to the third dimension by dream.
...
The backstory I was working on will now be developed further, I guess. I'm...lame.

Hell nah you ain't lame! This is a great idea~ but won't lie, I got kinda lost when you started mentioning Flatland ahaha. However I do agree with you that Bills dimension wasn't the nicest and he did get treated badly because Alex Hirsch mentioned this somewhere ;but I can't remember where; I think it was a Twitter ask). Thank you for the idea too about the 5 stages of grief. I'm not sure if I can fit all of them on a singular A5 page, but I'll definitely try to combine them and mention them somewhere~
Thanks bro!!

If you want, I could thoroughly explain Flatland and the multiple mentions from Journal 3 and the one mention in the show of a literally flat world.
Haha- no, that'd be terribly confusing and too much information to stuff into one short period of 3 paragraphs or more, and just...
I read a book, barely bigger than a magazine, in a three days. Even then, the third day, I stayed up late to finish it. It's terribly complicated and the grammar is from possibly the 1930's.
But I'll have to say, afterwards, my vocabulary had a 200% improvement for up to a week, which helped me finish a 6 page essay in about thirty minutes. Great mental boost. Very temporary, however, unless you use that vocabulary on a regular basis. Highly recommended, though.
But yes, there was something like. "You thought Stan's parents were bad? Well, Bill's were worse", on the Twitter ask, I think? I somehow caught hold of the reply by looking up pictures, and one link went to another, and somehow the message was there.
Either way, you're quite welcome.Β Β If I'm not lame, then I'm still a nerd/nut, which- weird. It's good to be weird.
