i read that end "someone will let me out" as more of a defeated and empty tone, not a real threatening one. Like Bill is realizing that he has no more pawns and is in denial
It seems he's starting to come back after all these years, he seems defeated, but he's not giving up until he's getting here. He may have a Good Chance of Returning, Which in all honesty... We're all gonna die.
It is quite fitting that the Axolotl screwed Bill over with a deal that screws him over no matter what. Either he genuinely repents and is reincarnated as a lesser but good being or he is stuck in the Theraprism with no escape as he is too self-absorbed and in deep denial over his regrets to repent. If I recall correctly, there is a part in the book where Bill tries to possess the reader but the moment Bill tries to do so, a Theraprism worker immediately intervenes and forces him out to tell the reader the humiliating truth. So it does mean that even if he tries to escape, the Theraprism will foil the attempt and seeing how the Pines family are able to insert their letters into his book, I guess the Axolotl would allow for Bill to be teased with the possibility of escape only for the attempt to fail every time as part of the prison's mechanisms. Bill also has no real loophole in the deal to use to get out as well. The Axolotl does not screw around.
@@truefenrizwait when does he try to possess the reader? I only know of him messing with readers emotions/morals so reader will be more agreable Is this in the exclusive version?
That's what i thought too. Maybe Alex just kept one with himself so that if he wants to continue the series he can just show the different ending in the book
you just know that as soon as people read that book, some of them rushed to the resting place of the Bill statue from the scavenger hunt Alex Hirsch set up after Gravity Falls ended.
I actually went there a couple months before the book’s release, and…they basically stapled Bill onto a tree high enough that most people can’t reach his hand
What makes it even funnier is that one of the other inmates is literally that one painting “Saturn devouring his son.” It’s the actual painting. They didn’t edit it to fit the artstyle, they just took the actual painting. 😂
Bill can never die, his physical form may be frozen and his mind form may have been “shattered” but as long as a piece of his form is out there and someone’s willing to make a deal he’ll always come back, he knows that we’ll meet again, don’t know where don’t know when, but he knows we’ll meet again some sunny day…
@@BillCiphersArtist you do as the book against each other book one goes against book 2 book 2 goes against book 3 book 3 goes against book 1 every single book has flaws in them meaning that’s not true at all it’s even confirmed he needed someone to bring him back to life otherwise he would have died
@@axillaryclinical dude only book 3 and book of bill is released and there's not contradicting flaws in any of them, bill is canonically both dead and not dead at the same time as he is canonically everything and nothing simultaneously l, it's also confirmed in the book he just lost his physical form so while he needs sn1 to bring his physical form back he us still alive in the way he could write and send a physical book to the real world canonically dumbass
That’s a cool idea, but honestly I kinda thought the three stones deity was more a guardian to the amphibia world the same way time baby is a guardian to our world. I could definitely be wrong though.
@@Princess-xv8ddThe Three Stones deity specifically stated that it was a guardian to all worlds. I personally think amphibia is the First dimension it created, which is why it got the stones and why there's some representation of amphibians in every other world.
I love how the book paints his story as a tragedy. Stuck in an intergalactic prison. In order for bill to come back he must confront his past and make peace with the demons of the loved ones that he killed by bringing the third dimension to the second and went on a massive mental decline. He HATES Stan for what he did. He was the first one who killed him and goes into a mental episode. Also I’d like to point out that the core was in the same room was bill in implying that one of the kings of amphibia knew the axolotl perhaps that’s why they wanted to be a god.
My personal headcanon for all of this is that Bill is reincarnated as none other than Stanely. The two have similar personalities and tendencies, and it would be super poetic if Bill was the one to stop his own madness just by finally admitting that what he really wanted was to be loved by a real family.
Legitimately funny that the place he was sent to was literally just therapy. Not some weird version of earth, or Gravity falls again as Stanley, just goddamn therapy.
Sounds similar to Schrödinger's cat, “It asks you to imagine a cat in a box with a mechanism that might kill it. Until you look inside, the cat is both alive and dead at the same time.”
Hold on. Your telling me that the best idea to get rid of Bill was locking him in a therapy group with some of the most dangerous villains from the Disney multiverse? What a great idea! I don't see that going bad in any way possible!
Well, yeah. They’re all egomaniacal freaks, each one of them likely only sees the others as loser bums, so none of them will work together as equals. And because they’re all Machiavellian manipulators, none of them will fall for a scheme or become a pawn.
9:25 Bill is really experiencing the "you are my specialz" moment right now. (Also, I love how these pages show how really alone Bill is. No one will save him because he's a bastard to everyone)
This is the best fate for Bill because it's literally a prision of his own making. All he needs to do in order to escape is put in the work and reconcile with his pasts, but he will never do that, so he's never going to leave.
That’s an incredible theory, I have literally never thought of that 😭 This is my new headcanon, I am adopting it now and I have your genius to thank for it.
Bill: Anything ill do it to be alive Axolotl: your going to therapy Bill: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The ending to me is less of a threat and more of him in denial. In denial that he is fine and that he doesn't miss his family. And the line about someone letting him out feels like him almost having false hope.
The book of Bill opens the possibility for an interesting fanfiction idea. Basically have somebody read the book but instead have the ending change the message from the pines family doesn't work letting bill transport reader into the gravity falls world so they can find the Statue and revive bill
Stanley: i don't need anybody!! Stanford: i don't need anybody!! Bill Cipher: i don't need anybody!! They are so alike and it's sad that his henchmaniacs haven't called him, Bill genuinely thought of them as friends even though he mistreated them. I feel sorry for the crazy little triangle.
Notice how he wanted Weirdmageddon so bad because his friends were scared of the edge in the Nightmare Realm , that would eradicate them if they didn't find a more stable dimension? Yeah, it's all coming together
@@gingerdude yea, Bill Cipher cared about them in his own twisted way but they don't even bother to call him, I don't think they genuinely cared about him at all. The people that did genuinely care about Bill, he ruined the relationships.
@@Claudia_Crimson_585 exactly that. He isn't human, so his way of perceiving and showing feelings is all twisted. Maybe he is affectionate, according to demon standards. Who knows? He also cannot differentiate between love and fear. If you read the part in his book where he talks about being "loved by everyone, dubbed the best baby and whose birthday was made a national holiday where the mayor handed out free knives" you'll get roughly an idea about not only how scrambled his perception is, but also what was done to him in his home dimension. So he interprets cruelty as adoration... You get the idea
I can vividly picture Bill getting visited in the Theraprism by Discord and Yung Venuz. "You know William, you should really give the whole redemption thing a shot! It worked wonders for me." "lol, da ylw pozer got got by da popo"
They really made the punishment _equilateral_ the crime. He ain't _scalene_ his way outta there. For all his sharp angles, it's really ironic that he's _obtuse_ enough to not realize he can get out of there by going down the _right_ path.
"Bill Cipher lives and he's desperate to make his grand reintroduction into our world. As his petrified physical form lies dormant somewhere in the woods, waiting for the moment some sucker finds the statue and is foolish enough to shake his hand" *grabs sledgehammer* "Are you sure about that?"
I think it's so fitting he's _cracked_ now. In more ways than one. We know all about him. We know why he is the way he is and why he does things. The demons he himself is living with. He truly is a cracked cipher.
I feel like Bill is in a state of limbo as of right now. Between life and death. He’s stuck in his astral body, but his physical form is still out there. His astral body is trapped, but his physical form is somewhere out in the woods.
Theory: “Fair warning this going to get dark…” ------------------------ The way I'm hearing this. Bill Cypher is slowly becoming more of an animated version of the Dark Presence. An entity that is fiction in one reality but not in the other. A place where dreams and reality lie. ------------------------ Only with a bit more personal baggage than ever before. Slowly crafting ways for his “Return” to Gravity Falls. Hoping someone, anyone will bring him into existence. To bring about his horrific horror to the community and anyone in it. Despite denying any acknowledgment that he needs them more than they need him. ------------------------ Bill is becoming a form of entity that wants to become real again. Trapped in some form of “prison.” Placed somewhere where dreams and reality lie in the multiverse despite it being fiction to others. Somewhere in the multiverse they blend together. Trapped, in his view, a form of an endless cycle by this “prison”. To others as a form of media, denial, and therapy session. ------------------------ Even the “fictional” protagonists of the Gravity Falls reality write to the audiance. Pushing him back down the ocean waves and current of the multiverse. Deny reality and keep him fictional. Keep him trapped, for as long it can be. ------------------------ Despite being in denial. Bill craves for the attention he believes he deserves. Even though he boasts his threats to the audiance. However, his actions at the end nail doors to whoever begins to see through his deception. Seeing it as a form of betrayal or denial. This is an example of why he is shackled to this “prison.” ------------------------ At some point, Bill will probably return. In fiction or reality. But if Gravity Falls, or a version of it, is going down the dark path in storytelling. Just by the thought, if. Then it means Bill will probably go down a much darker horror story route than he was before. Atleast he will try. As his revenge for the Pine family is still set. ------------------------ Then again. This is fan theory. Thanks to anyone who reads this. ------------------------
I just realized, this rifts thing is like a reverse Samurai Jack. Samurai Jack is a hero seeking to find a time portal to return to the past and defeat the villain Aku. Aku regularly destroys time portals to thwart Jack's plans, and he will soon run out of portals. Bill Cipher is a villain seeking to find a rift to return to our reality. The Pines family regularly destroys rifts to thwart Bill's plans, and he will soon run out of rifts.
Another thing to note: One of the patients that can be seen in the Theraprism along with Bill is the Black Cube Of Darkness from Wander Over Yonder, which basically mean that that show is also canon to the wider Gravity Falls multiverse.
Hm he really has a deep resentment towards Stan It must be even worse for him not to be defeated by Ford, he was defeated by the guy who was considered useless.
More than that, I think he’s actually jealous. You can tell from how he says he “doesn’t need anyone” that deep down he’s a miserable loner, and then Stan, someone that Bill probably saw himself in, like in how he saw himself in Ford, sacrifices himself for his family, something he can’t bring himself to admit: that caring for others isn’t a weakness.
Dang, we finally got the answer that’s been waiting for 8 years, and Alex doing it in the perspective of a book that’s an interactive is *ingenious!* 😅❤
4:45 he's talking about an interdimensional dream demon deity who nearly killed him and his family and also nearly took over there universe and he STILL finds a way to plug his tourist trap, even when he doesn't own it anymore!
So Bill Cipher is in therapy with other multiverse villains, including The Core from Amphibia. That is a fate far worse than death. At least to Bill, The Core and the other villains. I wouldn’t be surprised if Emperor Belos from The Owl House was there too and let’s be real, he definitely is.
Axy: Sure thing, buddy. I'll get you set up with the counselors now. Bill: Counselors? But that would mean... Axy: Time for therapy, Bill. Bill: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
I do think that at some point, Bill's would be able to posses someone through another object thus maybe letting some part of himself out, but he'll probably need to keep quite about it and make sure to never interact with the pines family at least until he fully regained his form (not the physical one) It will take some time though and definetly not in dipper and mabel's generation
Another possibility is one mabel or dipper from another universe end up releasing him on accident, perhaps maybe even the anti mabel will do that. For sure though after he comes back he has to never ever die again as the Axolotl will probably not give him another chance afterwards.
It’s always nice to know a definitive conclusion to Bill’s fate after waiting so long knowing what his last message was and so many teases of his possible survival.
I think you've got the right call on Gravity Falls having the potential to continue as books in the future. Firstly it ties in closely with the idea of the Journals from the TV series, but also it allows Alex Hirsch to continue to tell stories set in this world with these characters without having to go through the stress of being a showrunner again (if you've heard the DVD commentaries and behind-the-scenes stuff you can tell after 2 seasons he was exhausted fighting tooth-and-nail every day). I could even see more online content like the ARG website, but I doubt we'll get more animated episodes.
Two observations: one, the Pines twins have a birthday in 5 days; maybe we'll have an announcement! Second, Looking at the part Stan wrote about Bill? Yes, he gets one over on Bill there, but an important observation for that section... Stan doesn't call Ford Sixer. Only Bill does.
What do you want to bet that Belos' ghost wound up in Theraprism after he got stomped out of existence? It all depends on if there was anything left of his soul left to save.
This is odd, at the end of my book Bill was happy that I wasn't convinced by the pines family and our connection grew near unbreakable. He also told me where Gravity Falls is, seems everyone else picked the wrong side, soon all of them, Sixer, Stanley and the twins will wish they had stayed in line 😈
I think personally that psychiatric medication shouldn't be used to control people and serves only as a way to damage people. Everyone is born as a potential threat it's how every organism has survived, only birds have intelligence close to ours and even they have the capacity to harm. Genuinely teaching people different methods of communication or how to achieve goals for themselves such as finding a partner or peace is the only way to genuinely help someone unless society is content with impotence which has lead to the world we live in now
Disney: Alex, enough with the books, we want another animated series! Alex: Only if you get rid of the S&P Department. Disney: ... Alex: That's what I thought.
I can think of no better punishment for someone like Bill Cipher: *Eternal group therapy.*
Sounds like h×ll for him

He’s stuck in his astral body, but his physical form is still out there. His astral body is trapped, but his physical form is somewhere out in the woods.
If gravity Falls is going to do a Multiverse thing, they got to reference reverse falls in some capacity.
"bill's only alive when the book is open"
me: *leaves my copy of TBOB open forever*
YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL! NOOO!
Miss inside job series on Netflix, was hoping for season 2. Left that series on a cliffhanger.
I will never forgive Netflix for that.
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 yup 👍 true to that.
Just when I found a good series to enjoy on that site, they cancelled it out.
I've been laughing non-stop after hearing that bill is in rehab therapy lmao-
What really sent me was how Saturn and a floating ear ended up there.
AND THAT DOG FROM THE CANDY MABEL HUFFED IN THAT ONE EPISODE 😂
"Spin my block again and you're getting put on a fucking shirt" ~ dipper
7:50 the freakin CORE IS AMONG THEM!!!!?????? WOOOOOOW!!!! That's a Crossover sign!
I knew Gravity Falls and Amphibia were in the same multiverse
@@XJIcequeen and TOH
@@olleselin let's throw in the owl house, too.
on the witch craft page there are about 4 owl house references (codes and images)
where's belos?
Wouldn't it be Awesome if Bill faced The Collector in a celestial battle?
Terrifying is more like it. Both of 'em can warp reality as they please if Wierdmageddon is in play.
Theory: “Fair warning this going to get dark…”
------------------------
The way I'm hearing this. Bill Cypher is slowly becoming more of an animated version of the Dark Presence. An entity that is fiction in one reality but not in the other. A place where dreams and reality lie.
------------------------
Only with a bit more personal baggage than ever before. Slowly crafting ways for his “Return” to Gravity Falls. Hoping someone, anyone will bring him into existence. To bring about his horrific horror to the community and anyone in it. Despite denying any acknowledgment that he needs them more than they need him.
------------------------
Bill is becoming a form of entity that wants to become real again. Trapped in some form of “prison.” Placed somewhere where dreams and reality lie in the multiverse despite it being fiction to others. Somewhere in the multiverse they blend together. Trapped, in his view, a form of an endless cycle by this “prison”. To others as a form of media, denial, and therapy session.
------------------------
Even the “fictional” protagonists of the Gravity Falls reality write to the audiance. Pushing him back down the ocean waves and current of the multiverse. Deny reality and keep him fictional. Keep him trapped, for as long it can be.
------------------------
Despite being in denial. Bill craves for the attention he believes he deserves. Even though he boasts his threats to the audiance. However, his actions at the end nail doors to whoever begins to see through his deception. Seeing it as a form of betrayal or denial. This is an example of why he is shackled to this “prison.”
------------------------
At some point, Bill will probably return. In fiction or reality. But if Gravity Falls, or a version of it, is going down the dark path in storytelling. Just by the thought, if. Then it means Bill will probably go down a much darker horror story route than he was before. Atleast he will try. As his revenge for the Pine family is still set.
------------------------
Then again. This is fan theory.
Thanks to anyone who reads this.
------------------------
I'm not gonna lie, I wish we could have a side-story animated series about Bill’s time in therapy just to get some more gravity falls lore 🔼👁️
I just realized, this rifts thing is like a reverse Samurai Jack.
Samurai Jack is a hero seeking to find a time portal to return to the past and defeat the villain Aku. Aku regularly destroys time portals to thwart Jack's plans, and he will soon run out of portals.
Bill Cipher is a villain seeking to find a rift to return to our reality. The Pines family regularly destroys rifts to thwart Bill's plans, and he will soon run out of rifts.
Dipper stood on straight business 💀
Fancy pizza guy still alive !?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Dorito*
@@Derpy_Crow pizza because he has one giant pepperoni on him
Another thing to note:
One of the patients that can be seen in the Theraprism along with Bill is the Black Cube Of Darkness from Wander Over Yonder, which basically mean that that show is also canon to the wider Gravity Falls multiverse.
HE’S JUST BEEN IN REHAB FOR A DECADE
Bill’s fate is obvious. He’s living in Paris with Jacque’s Brel.
Like if you love gravity falls
I miss him
Hm he really has a deep resentment towards Stan It must be even worse for him not to be defeated by Ford, he was defeated by the guy who was considered useless.
More than that, I think he’s actually jealous. You can tell from how he says he “doesn’t need anyone” that deep down he’s a miserable loner, and then Stan, someone that Bill probably saw himself in, like in how he saw himself in Ford, sacrifices himself for his family, something he can’t bring himself to admit: that caring for others isn’t a weakness.
Dang, we finally got the answer that’s been waiting for 8 years, and Alex doing it in the perspective of a book that’s an interactive is *ingenious!* 😅❤
4:45 he's talking about an interdimensional dream demon deity who nearly killed him and his family and also nearly took over there universe and he STILL finds a way to plug his tourist trap, even when he doesn't own it anymore!
Matpat made a video on this years ago. I love it when people give new points of view on old topics. Makes them feel fresh
So Bill Cipher is in therapy with other multiverse villains, including The Core from Amphibia. That is a fate far worse than death. At least to Bill, The Core and the other villains. I wouldn’t be surprised if Emperor Belos from The Owl House was there too and let’s be real, he definitely is.
AXOLOTL MY TIME HAS COME TO BURN I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN
Axy: Sure thing, buddy. I'll get you set up with the counselors now.
Bill: Counselors? But that would mean...
Axy: Time for therapy, Bill.
Bill: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
He is reincarnated as King Clawthorne@@bradleyadams5252
Bill: Oh hello weird helmet they call the core
Dipper’s hate for Bill is one of my favorite things 😂😂
4:18 Why does this guy actually do a good Stanley impression though?
Anyone else notice how Stan called his brother sixer like Bill in his little flavor text part?
I do think that at some point, Bill's would be able to posses someone through another object thus maybe letting some part of himself out, but he'll probably need to keep quite about it and make sure to never interact with the pines family at least until he fully regained his form (not the physical one)
It will take some time though and definetly not in dipper and mabel's generation
Another possibility is one mabel or dipper from another universe end up releasing him on accident, perhaps maybe even the anti mabel will do that.
For sure though after he comes back he has to never ever die again as the Axolotl will probably not give him another chance afterwards.
It’s always nice to know a definitive conclusion to Bill’s fate after waiting so long knowing what his last message was and so many teases of his possible survival.
i love how in bills massege you can faintly hear your worst nightmare play lol
Cube of Darkness from Wander Over Yonder is in therapy too!
And he acually wants to be there
I think you've got the right call on Gravity Falls having the potential to continue as books in the future. Firstly it ties in closely with the idea of the Journals from the TV series, but also it allows Alex Hirsch to continue to tell stories set in this world with these characters without having to go through the stress of being a showrunner again (if you've heard the DVD commentaries and behind-the-scenes stuff you can tell after 2 seasons he was exhausted fighting tooth-and-nail every day). I could even see more online content like the ARG website, but I doubt we'll get more animated episodes.
5:59 I like how your best nightmare is playing in the background lol
the way you said *"look there's the Core from Amphibia"* just sent me, i loved it!
Wait if you think about it during the cypher hunt somebody shook the statues hand that’s why bill is ALIVE
The fact that the Core is in rehab is hilarious.
Two observations: one, the Pines twins have a birthday in 5 days; maybe we'll have an announcement!
Second, Looking at the part Stan wrote about Bill? Yes, he gets one over on Bill there, but an important observation for that section...
Stan doesn't call Ford Sixer. Only Bill does.
What do you want to bet that Belos' ghost wound up in Theraprism after he got stomped out of existence? It all depends on if there was anything left of his soul left to save.
I was wondering that too! The core from Amphibia was there, why not have Belos there too?
@@Mike-eu4gw Oh, man. Imagine if Bill and Belos end up becoming cellmates. That would be hilarious to watch! 🤣
@@maxleroux Honestly 😂 now I wanna see Belos there!
3:04 it reminds me of that one thing I heard of where if you believe something enough it becomes true
This is odd, at the end of my book Bill was happy that I wasn't convinced by the pines family and our connection grew near unbreakable. He also told me where Gravity Falls is, seems everyone else picked the wrong side, soon all of them, Sixer, Stanley and the twins will wish they had stayed in line 😈
As Hop Pop said in Amphibia,
*I don't feel safe*
Welp this is still better than politics
Oh no
@@aaronwright-we2ui I think you mean, oh yes, right?👁️ By the way want to make a deal? 🤝 (Insert mad cackling)
5:16 Good Bill Cipher impression and impression of Stanley! ^^
Bill got sent to rehab and he said "NO! NO! NO!!"
Seeing the core from amphibia in background is a master class detail
Ax:" Your getting what you need the most"
Bill:"What?"
Ax:"Therapy! "
it's been almost four years since i found out about bill's backwards message and i feel like this is finally putting my obsession to rest
maybe another mystery solving plot.
My guess: the one who finds THE statue will start the next series in this (or a parallel) Gravity falls universe.
Perfect timing! My book arrived yesterday afternoon and i just finished it a couple of hours ago
Omg, this video background song! I know what game you played and I am happy to see your a man of culture!!!
Hello TheRoundTable, thank you very much for the Video!
I like how dippers response in the book to bill was just 'RUN THESE HANDS'
We just need a full crossover with Gravity Falls/Amphibia/Owl House, since the book further confirmed they're in the same universe!
9:26 don’t bet on me letting u out . bill if your reading this stay dead don’t come back
He seems to be in the stage of denial.
I see this book as confirming Bill as not alive, but his spirit still exists. He's in the afterlife, trying to break free and become alive again.
I guess we're giving him a passage way in the story, but in real life we're giving them a chance to bring out a new series or season
I like how dipper is acting tough and threatening bill even tho bill literally made dipper his play thing
I think personally that psychiatric medication shouldn't be used to control people and serves only as a way to damage people. Everyone is born as a potential threat it's how every organism has survived, only birds have intelligence close to ours and even they have the capacity to harm.
Genuinely teaching people different methods of communication or how to achieve goals for themselves such as finding a partner or peace is the only way to genuinely help someone unless society is content with impotence which has lead to the world we live in now
This has a lot of neat artifice behind all that eldritch stuff.
Disney: Alex, enough with the books, we want another animated series!
Alex: Only if you get rid of the S&P Department.
Disney: ...
Alex: That's what I thought.
I'd like to think they could come to an agreement, making a spin off series for Hulu or Disney+, where S and P can be at least a little bit more lax.
First also this is one of my favorite video from roundtable and from TH-cam
