  • One thing that was not mentioned was the reason the "how to get into heaven" page was blank was because Bill said the writing would be invisible to people with sinful thoughts. So it's not that he doesn't believe in heaven. It's that he thinks we are all freaks.

    Matpat: 'this time, you're on your own' Lee: 'Nuh uh'

    okay so basically the oracle/"jessie" didnt date bill. she became too powerful and found out a way to defeat bill. we see this in journal 3 when the oracle gives ford the metal plate in his head, she know how to block him out of the mindscape.
  • @my_vlog2478
    21:57 I’m fully convinced that his “ex-girlfriend” Is literally just Ford… like their breakup was real
  • Me and my friends were going on a trip through Oregon, and one of my friends (Jamcat) picked up the book of bill. The next day we went through Salem, and then thunderstorms started, I got sick, and we had trouble navigating through the city. A few days later, Jamcat found a part in the book where Bill Cipher says to "look out for his work in Salem." Bill deadass tried to ruin our trip.

  • That Disney+ pop up when Lee says "I've sold my soul for less" was so out of pocket. I love it
  • @ry1i1
    how did y'all come to the conclusion that The Oracle is Bill's ex when Ford is right there bro 😭
  • Love how like 90% of the comments are people Telling you to credit the people who really decoded this(r/gravityfalls and its corresponding discord) The other 10 is people talking about you just ignoring the billford hints.
  • @Supasmartguy
    This huge Gravity Falls boom that came with the book of Bill had better either be teasing or have inspired a continuation to the show, perhaps a late arriving new season, similarly to what Phineas and Ferb got.
  • @arsonzartz
    we all gotta agree bill and ford had SOMETHING going on...like, they definetly were not just friends-
  • @tiredenby705
    Wild that there's so much focus on the "Jheselbraum being Bill's ex" theory (plausible, But) when there's So Much pointing to Ford being his ex-Something, all the romantic (albeit definitely manipulative/abusive) language and subtext/references surrounding those two are very clear
  • Not them pointedly ignoring all of the billford implications 😭
  • History will say that Ford and Bill were just friends, and APPARENTLY FILM THEORY WILL TOO, WHAT THE HECK, GUYS?!
  • It's pretty clear and obvious who bills actual ex is, like c'mon bro, did you read the book with your eyes closed?
  • @ominus_potato
    How’s you get through this entire video without mentioning Bill’s relationships with Ford ONCE?!
  • @LumiKat117
    Totally brushed over the fact that the book exposes the fact that Bill and Ford were DEFINITELY something more than just "Muse and Scientist" 😏😂
