Fandom
Anthro/Human Art
This article or section needs expansion. |
Bill has been drawn as an anthropomorphized human who character design takes inspiration from Bill's canon appearance. He is often drawn as a tall, skinny white man wearing a top hat and yellow suit, with either an eyepatch, long bangs, or both covering one eye. This depiction has been both parodied and embraced by the Gravity Falls fandom as an archetypal example of a tumblr sexyman. Notably, Alex Hirsch himself drew an "unsexyman" version of Bill Cipher's humanization during a livestream.[1]
Shipping
Some of the fandom views these ships as very problematic, mainly because of Bill's treatment of... well, everyone, the power imbalance, and the young age of the twins. Despite this, as of 2022, Billdip is the most popular Gravity Falls ship on Archive of Our Own by a large margin.
