Fun fact: the axolotls dont have names! Bill is the only one who calls Lottie Lottie. The axolotls spend their time wandering the multiverse and only meet up every once in a while to touch bases, or if there's an emergency. Most of them are very laid back and averse to conflict, which is part of why they're having a hard time handling Bill, who is the opposite.

Something I realised which is fucking me up:
So I’m sure you guys are aware of the cosmic axolotl and it’s poem about Bill:
And I’m sure you guys are also aware that the axolotl is pretty much just.. God, to an extent, right?
“He’ll have to invoke my name, one way to absolve his crime.”
And obviously this parallels what Bill said in reverse in Weirdmaggedon,
“A-X-O-L-O-T-L, MY TIME HAS COME TO BURN, I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN!”
So.. with the fact the cosmic axolotl is pretty much God, or A god at least..
Isn’t this pretty much, if you REALLY think about it.. just.. Bill praying to god for forgiveness for his sins?
I don’t know why this is fucking with me so bad (maybe bc i KINDA have religious trauma and was scared of going to hell as a child) but it’s.. REALLY messed up to me when you put it like that. Like Bill, while actively about to ‘die’, PRAYED TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS. like that’s so fucked up??? idk

This was my first time actually even attempting to draw an axolotl, I can’t believe it turned out so cute x3

@thedemonsurfer thank you for pointing this out because I just had the most galaxy-brained realization. I keep cracking jokes about the Axolotl being Bill's parole officer. I was wrong.
If he wants to shirk the blame, he'll have to invoke my name. One way to absolve his crime.
He's not Bill's parole officer. He's Bill's defense attorney.

I’ve been thinking about the “Let me out” code on the Book Of Bill, and now I’m wondering if Bill didn’t just write the book, he reincarnated into the book. Like, imagine he appeared before the Axolotl after he invoked its name, and he was like: “PLEASE, BRING ME BACK! I DID NOTHING WRONG! LET ME TELL MY SIDE OF THE STORY!” And the Axolotl was like “Okay.” And transformed him into a literal book

Man.
You know what I think I love the most about Bill Cipher? It’s the ability for this one character to be the worst possible being known to man yet one thing can make us question everything we know about his character.
I think about the Axolotl poem A LOT and I think it speaks to how much one little thing can change everything. The Reddit AMA as well. There’s so many little things outside of the show that really made me (and I’m sure many others as well) feel not quite finished with Gravity Falls.
I think back to that interview Hirsch did with The Mary Sue way back when. The one where he talked about leaving Bill’s return up in the air in case he ever wanted to go back to it. I think this book is him coming back to it.
I don’t really know my point in this short ramble, I think I’m just really excited to see his point of view. His thoughts on the Axolotl. His silly little projection onto Mabel. Even if he’s lying, I want to know how this goofy fictional villain thinks. One minute he’s rearranging faces, the next? Silly Straws!
To me I guess I don’t really care about what his backstory ends up being. I don’t really care if he actually liked so and so character or not.
I just wanna know if he’ll slip up and tell the truth.

A Bill Cipher and Axolotl thing I had a blast drawing and rendering a bit back. I made a jump in my art skills a couple months ago, so I’m only going to post my best pieces here and maybe some pretty doodles
