I love Transmasc Bill in the redemption stories so much personally !!! Since I feel like the Bill being human trope works so well as an allegory for being trans (The whole being in the wrong body and feeling wrong) Also, I just feel so seen when it talks about it too šš Especially in a human condition too, there were so many points i straight was like, āwait a damn minute, is this play about us?ā
One of my many regrets in making fanart was that in one of them, Bill was solely going to be in the color of the trans flag, but i cut it bc i was struggling to render the colors ā¹ļø Maybe when summerween chapter comes out, Iāll hop in the opportunity of basking him in the trans flag colors and succeed š Shout out to A Human Condition my favorite fanfic ever š„¹
Hey, hope you're having a good day!!! I donāt think youāve brought this up in the fic, but Iām curious. Alex Hirsch has made some comments about Billās gender before, like that tweet where Bill said he doesnāt identify as male or female, just as a triangle. Even though he uses he/him pronouns. (Oh! Or that one saying he counts as a goth girl, but we know that was a joke... Wasn't it?)
Anyway, what do you think about his gender? I'm really curious, especially in your story where heās human. Any headcan is valid! Personally, I see him as agender, and I think he might be some kind of transmasc or intersex in his human form.
Just headcanons
What do you think?
Hey there, anon! š
Billās gender is something Iāve actually put a lot of thought into, but havenāt had a chance to bring up in my story yet! So thanks for asking! š
My personal headcanon is, in Euclydia, whatever shape you have is equivalent to the human idea of gender and thatās why thereās āthousands of gendersā for Euclydians because of slight differences in regards to angles and sides that create new polygons. So thereās hundreds of varieties in gender.
After seeing the multiverse, in my opinion, Bill probably adopted agender status or some form of genderfluidity and presents how he wants based on what he thinks will help him get ahead with other beings/cultures or how heās feeling at any given time. Though, I think heās still attached to his triangular form due his own superiority complex (and sentimentality though heād rather die than admit it) and he tries to incorporate the shape in some way whenever he switches things up.
Now that heās in human form, heās still operating by those standards and is probably irritated that he canāt do more to alter his appearance like he could when he had shape-shifting abilities.
Hope this answers your question! Thereāll be more later on in the story probably, but since itās a little ways off I thought Iād go ahead and put this out!
I hope everyone out there is having a good day! š„°ā¤ļø
hey so that last chapter was FANTASTIC i loved it š»š«¶ (be prepared for fanart)
HHHH TYYY I WORKED MY BUTT OFF FOR THAT CHAPTER (did you say fanart? š„¹)
I went back to my roots because I love that fic so much š Honestly, I was originally going to just draw Bill in his star suit fit, but after finishing rewatching Arcane, I took some creative liberty and drew him in that one Jinx scene from season one along with some blatant symbolisms (Im most proud of the chair š„¹)
THATS ALL MAYBE ILL DIGITALIZE IT WHEN I GET THE CHANCE
@sapphosscribe
I think we lowkey tend to overlook that Bill is the last one of his species. The last thing that proves his home existed.
Aside from like, tweaking tf out while being human in Bill redemption stories, I think him having kids would soften the blow or put salt in the wound. He doesn't have to be the last one, not anymore.
Although, itās up for debate where he would teach his kids the culture and customs of Euclydia. Either the memories are too painful to bear and let resurface or he can finally share something that he hasnāt really talked much of.
Mb for this š my iPad and pen arent working and I was seriously trying to work on making Billford kids but I gotta put that on hold for now.
Click image for high quality!
Can you believe guys? A Human Condition! Just a day away! A Human Condition in a day! Woo hoo! I am so happy about this information!
Of course! In celebration of a new year and A Human Condition coning back, you know I had to to work overtime and make fanart š„¹ Finally drew the gang and I love how these two came out! (kept my promise from last post šŗ)

I WAS GOING THROUGH SM BUT HERE THEY ARE !!! Took so long hope you all like them though !!!
This took me a while !!! And I can talk about the Bill vs Billy whole thing now š
Basically, how I read a Human Condition, itās practically this whole dichotomy of Bill vs Billy and no one is aware of it. Believing Bill can change is an act of believing Billy is there, believing Bill canāt change means Billy is dead.
Billy is the root of Billās empathy and change, or what Bill would call, the root of his weakness. Bill considers Billy weak and deadweight, something worth forgetting. In the first lines, we ever read from Billy in A Human Condition is, āJust fit inā.
In the beginning of the Billy storyline, he himself in a major contradiction to Billās own beliefs and self-worth. Billy is what everyone hopes to achieve in the end, but Billy died the day Bill destroyed their dimension⦠right? Yes and no šŗ
The remnants live on and begin to crack through ways that Bill has taken notice of, especially when heās with Mabel. Itās moments where he spends time with Mabel, I picture the hostile face shifting to a more softer and rounder face. Mabel brings out the best in him. Unknowingly the reason Billy returns. It isnāt just Mabel that brings the Billy side out. It could be objects of interest or of fear and even guilt. Objects of interest could be the silly straw or the spaghetti scene from the recent chapter. The fear and guilt of Billy is brought out by Ford when he chokes him out or when Bill wanders into the mind space Ford had locked up.
I have more to say about Billy, but man I gotta talk about Bill because I got so much to say about him.
Bill is a cheat, liar, and other say, a monster through and through. But Bill is simply a manifestation of survival and going against all of that he knew. The line in chapter 27, āYes. Iām completely cured. My irregularity will not affect my ability to fit in, your excellence.ā This is a lie that Bill said, this was an act of wanting to survive and protecting himself. This is also the point in the Billy storyline that Billy starts to identify himself with Bill and this is the same chapter where his mother and father starts to call him, Bill, as well.
This is the plantings seeds of Bill, that continue to thrive even after failing the very thing he was manifested for. He allowed not just himself but Billy to die. Itās only now they have another chance, but Bill believes heās the sole reason why they had survived for so long before. Billy is weak and can only bring in danger. This pathetic, weak, piece of him is holding him back, and yet it is something worth protecting just to survive.
We see Bill truest form through lines like, āBut Bill wasnāt weak. He was strong and he was smarter than all of them. They didnāt see it yet, but he could prove it! He only needed time. He wouldnāt be a burden, he would be a credit to all triangles, like his parents had said. He was different than other irregulars. He was better.ā
But the next line is, āBecause Bill was weak in the eyes of Euclydia. He was a freak, an irregular. He was made wrong. And yet. Bill wanted to live.ā
Bill is a manifestation of wanting to survive and not letting anyone in. Even in this weak human form, that motivation drives home. He is protecting not himself but Billy as well.
I imagine if you were to enter Billās mind, it would be this split down the middle where Bill and Billy are seprated, but both of them have a piece of each other. Bill with a younger and triangle Billy, while good old human Billy is trapped with a more familiar triangle Bill.
Hereās pictures without the word š¼
Thatās how read Bill and Billyās storyline and interpreted it. The drawings showcase them and in their own spaces. I like to think Bill is in the darkest part and only he and Billy illuminate the space. I gave him crazy long hair that would be everywhere since he is everywhere and because having long hair is great, but such a pain to try and maintain and take care of.
Billy looks the most like Billās human form, since he practically accepted this and the only artical of clothing heās wearing is the sweater Mabel has gifted them. Heās in the brighter and hopeful side since he holds all the good parts. Heās just trapped with a piece of Bill, still trying to guard him.
Canāt wait to see what A Human Condition has in store and Iāll probably continus on with this theory/headcanon š I actually have some headcanons about Bill and Billy, but idk if anyone wants to hear allat š
@sapphosscribe AGAIN, youāre such a talented writer! Got me thinking and all š canāt wait to see what you have been cooking up š¼
