[ashanashanashanashana]

hi guys this got reuploaded on tiktok without my consent and it got twice as many views I am not upset :D (sigh. algorithms :<)

edit: oh my LORD some guy reuploaded it as a short and it got twice as many views as this AGAIN how does that even happen

[c.millie]

I really appreciate your depiction of how Bill destroyed his own dimension, because Bill's dimension is 2d he created a big hole when he "got out" and destroyed his dimension (it's like paper)
Not to mention the art is wondeful, baby billy is so adorable.

I love how this interpretation fits the axolotl’s explanation of bill’s escape. “Blame the arson for the fire” he started the attack in this but couldn’t control it causing the destruction to spread uncontrollably

[boatboy]

oh my god... oh my GOD. This interpretation of how he destroyed Euclydia makes so much sense and its HEARTWRENCHING. This animation is incredible AND THE END??? IM CRYING. He looks so alone and like he immediately regretted it :(
this is so well done i'm in love

0:42 "ill make them understand" HIT ME HARD

[isimsizbirsahs]

Remember kids, if you see someone with one eye that sometimes suddenly disappears, and that person is talking about things that doesn't exist in the universe, don't treat them like crazy

[werd._.]

I love that the way you represented him killing them by jumping out of the dimension creating a riff in the world

[halitov]

Because of this song, I can't help but imagine that Bill's mother's voice sounded like human, but his father's voice is just text-to-speech.

I've never really watched Gravity Falls, so this is an outsider's perspective, but I like that Bill doesn't come from a higher dimension, despite his godliness. Like often in movies of mystery the threat is from a dimension beyond our comprehension. Instead, his life was simpler, and 2D. He's justly mortified because everything he is experiencing is beyond his understanding (at first) moreso than it would've been for us, even, being from the 3rd dimension. Rather than being an entity who comprehends everything all the time, who descends down to a lower universe, they flipped the trope and made him ascend into a higher reality beyond his own. Don't think I've seen that before.

*Of course he is, how would he stay sane after destroying his own universe?*

"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."

I love the interpretation of Bill’s parents! Especially the eyes of his mom

[peonydraws]

Jesus Christ this fandom never fails to be quick and that's what I love about it so much

0:34 I noticed how her tie was in her head it’s now on bill’s chest and probably the hat is his dad’s

[shuichiswifey]

Imagine the torture of having to see something everyone else couldn’t understand, the agony of never being understood, and then forced to watch everything you care about burn slowly in front of you, and you can’t even do anything. No wonder Bill ended up the way he did.

[beeruslemaridena]

By far the best "Rockaby Billy" animation, great representation of Euclidia (their World) and Scalene (his mom) protecting him from bullies before Bill failed to save her was just the perfect touch.

[CarterEide]

The fact this probably changed some people’s perspective of bill as a character knowing he didn’t destroy his dimension intentionally is amazing, because before the book of bill, bill was pure evil but now he’s seems to be a broken villain scared by his mistakes of what came before

[PonyRedFox]

It started as a sweet lullaby, but the jumpscare at 0:44 caught me off guard. This was so well made, but it was also terrifying at the same time. The changing of the lyrics at the end was SO GOOD and the "why did you do it" from the website was GOLD.

[researcherchameleon]

I love how the fandoms of flatland and Gravity falls got combined as Bill's backstory started getting teased
