hi. i dont post on tumblr this is part of a much longer video (taking me eons to finish)
It's maybe dump buuut any changes on Venuses approach towards Bill after a night-whimper story time?
(Context just in case, I'm a month late lololol)
Not at all, anon! I really like this question actually, and the reason it took me so long to answer is cause I really had to think about it, but I think I've got a good one for ya now.
Some complementary snuggles for ya, possibly a continuation of the last piece? Up to you! Answer's under the cut since it ended up being pretty long.
So, Bill is a pretty inherently childish character. He just wants to break rules and do whatever the hell he wants with no regard for anyone else because he can. Venuz lives with a pretty normal kid (Yung Cuz), and I like to imagine that he raised him himself, so Venuz knows how kids act. I think that Bill dropping his mask and revealing that, essentially, when things went to shit he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "la-la-la" instead of dealing with it like an adult showcased that immaturity of his, and Venuz recognized it.
Now, Venuz's feelings in regards to this depend on your headcanons of his character. Personally I bounce around two different ones: the Nuclear Throne interpretation and the Gun Godz interpretation.*
In NT he's just what we would think of when we think of a god; he's immortal, he's all-powerful, he's always been around and has always been a god. In this case, he can afford to be a careless and trusting guy because he can solve any problem with a thought. This Venuz immediately takes what Bill says at face value and lemme tell ya if he wasn't in love with the guy before this tragic side of him sure did it. Venuz likes when his gold chains are squeaky-clean, not his lovers; I think he adores that Bill's a terrifying disaster. (Not that he doesn't want to help of course; I'm sure the morning after was breakfast in bed and excessive cuddles and kisses)
In GG, Venuz is still a god, but he wasn't always. (I think I unconsciously took a lot of this from this awesome fic so credit where it's due lol) The planet runs on a system where Gun God is a title taken by force, i.e., to become the Gun God you need to kill the Gun God. He has been through the grinder and though he's mellowed out quite a bit after becoming Gun God he has issues really and truly trusting people. This Venuz is more cautious and keeps Bill's history of being a master manipulator in mind, knowing that there is no reason at all that Bill couldn't be putting on an act. That being said, Bill is pretty much harmless as long as Venuz doesn't consciously decide to return his powers to him, so he still tries to comfort him just in case.
Both are pretty great I think, one is lower-stakes and fun while the other has room for more angst and character growth. There is a hole in the GG logic though which is that if Bill got his hands on a gun he could just kill Venuz and become the Gun God, so uh...oops? Idk, this ship is still mostly crack and good fun tbh.
*TL;DR: NT Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "shit. i love him even more now"; GG Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "ok but if he's actually telling the truth then he needs me so"
Thanks for the ask!
Somehow, Y.V. with eyelashes looks even brattier than he was without eyelashes and I love it wahahaha
Girlboss Venuz REAL
Probably not something he's into himself from a fashion perspective, but fun to think about (and draw) nonetheless :)
[ID: Three digital drawings, each with a background like graph paper, with a grid of light grey lines on a white background. The first drawing shows two characters, one an original character, the other Bill Cipher from the show Gravity Falls.
Bill Cipher is a yellow triangle with a brick pattern on his lower half, making him look like a pyramid. He has a single large eye, a tall tophat that floats above his point, black gloves, boots, and a black bowtie.
The original character is a yellow pentagon with bandages wrapped around their head, and yellow feathered wings, with black gloves and boots, one of which has what looks like a little plant with yellow, star-shaped flowers wrapped around it.
Bill is shouting happily, "I burned down the pentagon!!" while the original character, sweating nervously and imagining themselves on fire, shouting, "nope! nope! Nope!" says nervously, "…You what."
The second drawing is just of Bill, as he holds one hand on his hip while pointing up with the other with wavy blue lines over his hand, his eye closed in a happy or smug expression.
The third drawing is the original character, done in just blue lines, showing them as a more humanoid figure wearing a long turtleneck and long pants, with more detailed feathered wings, and their pentagon shape in place of a normal head. They have one hand raised, giving the peace sign, while looking up and to the side over their shoulder.
End ID.]
