Found This Thing From 2020, I'm Proud Of The Lipsync And I Want To Remake It But I Probably Won't

Ivan: Cowboy, I'm not going to celebrate your satanic holiday, damn it, you're dressing up as some demons and you think I'll treat this as something normal?

Kolyadki

Ivan as a child:

Ivan: Kolyada, kolyada! Open the gates and take out the chests, give us coins, even a ruble (1), even a nickel (5), we will not leave you just like that. Give us a piece of candy, or maybe a coin, don't be a jerk, Christmas Eve is coming soon!

Ivan: On New Year's Eve I wish you an aspen coffin, a stake and a grave, and a sick mare (curse)

Maslenitsa

(Maslenitsa is a pagan holiday still celebrated in Russia. Meaning: people see off winter by burning an effigy symbolizing the Goddess of Winter Morena. People bake crepes. Crepes, at least in Russia, appeared as a funeral food, which is consumed during funerals. At the moment, crepes are a common dish, but crepes are still an important dish for Maslenitsa):

Ivan: Die, Morana (Goddess of Death/Rebirth/Winter.), die, die, die, yes yes yes, die

Ivan Kupala (Kupala Night):

There is very little information in the English wikipedia

The holiday combines two elements: pagan and Christian. Previously, this holiday existed independently, but after the baptism of Russia, the holiday acquired a Christian meaning and elements. The main feature of Kupala night is the cleansing bonfires. Around the fire, people danced, danced, sang Kupala songs, jumped over it: whoever is more successful and jumps higher, he will be happier. Girls jump through the fire "to purify themselves and protect themselves from dumbness, spoilage, conspiracies," and so that "mermaids do not attack and do not come for a year." Evil spirits come to life on this holiday, people performed certain rituals to scare away witches, mermaids and other evil spirits. Also, people wove wreaths of certain flowers, which also carry a magical meaning, women let such wreaths on the water to tell themselves an early wedding or a long life. Also on this holiday it is customary to look for a fern flower, which according to Slavic beliefs, the fern blooms only for a moment, on the night before Ivan Kupala (on June 24 [July 7 in Russia]); it is very difficult to pluck a flower, especially since the evil spirit prevents this in every possible way and intimidates a person, in some cases depriving him of reason, speech, memory. Picking the flower of a fern and keeping it with him acquires unusual possibilities. Man becomes visionary, can understand the language of animals, see all the treasures.

bill hating his parents and having an awful relationship with them being like an extra-canon/word of god trivia is so interesting to me because it really hits you in the face with "bill cipher is just a person" and also ties into the major theme about family if you think about it a bit

Thinks about Alex Hirsch calling Bill Cipher "kind of a spoiled brat" because he experienced a lot of little frustrations in his lifetime that piled up. Thinks about how this likely means Bill feels entitled to do whatever he wants no matter what because he grew up in a restrictive world. Thinks about how Bill thinks morality is limiting. Thinks about how Bill always hurts people and even takes enjoyment out of it. Thinks about the two lines in "It's Gonna Get Weird" suggesting he doesn't really consider himself 'evil'. Thinks about him framing both the destruction of his dimension and Weirdmageddon in a positive light a few times.

He doesn't care that he does awful things and despite all his apparent means-to-an-end mindset he still probably knows he's wrong deep down because burning his dimension is something that hurt him and he still regrets but he's so caught up in his own justifications and anger do you get it

day 1

bill cipher is so funny to because if you have even a little bit of knowledge of flatland or even sort of read into what he says about his home dimension he's like pure meow meow material but he's such lil bitch it doesn't even matter. like, most flatland truthers i've seen, no matter what their headcanons about bill's upbringing and how he functioned in flatland, come to the same conclusion of "what a mess of a person" which is so funny. we're just watching this awful immortal victorian man's cringe compilation. he sucks so bad it captivates me

why do people sexify him hes literally a just bratty little kid given a ton of power

IMPRESSIVE! this ELDRITCH ABOMINATION OF OVER A TRILLION YEARS has the mentality of a ten year old and BASICALLY you’re a fucking idiot

Just got diagnosed with this
