Not sure if this has been brought up before but, Billdip with a pet?

Neither of them really seem like Pet guys to me, more like Stuff In Jars kinda guys. But maybe petsitting for Mabel or someone else? I think the minute Dipper showed any affection for something other than Bill he would get really jealous and Dipper would think it's very funny and very annoying. I specifically like the idea of Bill vs a cat bc I think they would HATE him on instinct and they'd definitely hiss at eachother. Bill's very much of the opinion that pets are useless brainless hunks of flesh that eat your food, but he's also got very little competition in terms of Affection coming from Dipper and if HE doesn't get pets and treats, neither does this stupid creature that skulks around the house eating spiders and ripping up the carpet. That's BILL'S job

They really are both kinda Stuff In Jars guys, aren't they?

That being said, Dipper's absolutely the type to get suckered in by something cute if it showed him attention and affection. Likely he found it on the street, or rescued it from a monster; then of course claim he'd only keep it for like a day before bringing it to a shelter. Maybe two.

And he would, too! He is Responsible™ and wouldn't want to introduce a poor innocent animal to the vicinity of Bill.

UNLESS said creature was very Clever and Conniving and wormed its way into his heart, using all kinds of dastardly tricks and loving affection. Then two days turns into three, and to a week, until Bill knows with Dread Certainty that this slimy little hairball is here to stay.

It's probably a cat, let's be honest.

If for no other reason that Bill doesn't seem at all like a Dog Person. If he had to take that thing for WALKS and PICK UP after it, it'd be about two hours before he 'accidentally' left the door open during hours of heavy traffic - whereas a cat is standoffish and independent enough that they can safely spend their days ignoring each other in the same room.

But you just KNOW that he seethes with jealousy anytime Dipper gives that miserable feline a gentle kiss on the forehead.

#answers #See this is where you went wrong Dipper #You shoulda put Bill and the cat in separate rooms so they could sniff each other under the door and get used to each other that way first #So they don't immediately get all hissy at each other #The cat and Bill basically are roommates on chilly terms #Bill sees little benefit to the animal but Dipper really loves it so *shrug*#Can't just toss it in the closest Many-Devourer's gaping maw #Though maybe he does warm up to the thing in some ways!#Gotta admit it's a great accessory to have in his lap and pet while he's giving a menacing villain speech #Since Dipper never agrees to do it instead :(#Bill in turn has such very very tempting sunbeamlike body heat so the cat might Use him for Warmth on occasion #Oh! But Bill 100% warms up quicker if there's something Weird about the kitty #Like if it has scales or breathes fire or has pharyngeal jaws #He very much approves of that
