Description
I made this while fooling around with vectors images.So, anyway. this is a fun idea that I had recently
about what would happen if Bill Cipher ended up in Springfield,
and had to contend with the Simpsons, instead of the Pine Family.
(just pretend THIS is where Bill's conciseness ended up after Weirdmegeddon.)
Wow, this is so odd. Bill sorta almost looks like a creature from the Simpsons universe,
and Bart and Lisa make "almost" perfect substitutes for Dipper and Mabel.
oh, the chaos that Bill can cause..It almost boggles the mind.

1.I would see Smithers making a deal with him of making Mr burns fall in love with him or sum 2.i see Mr Burns making a deal with him to destroy his enemies or Be the richest person on earth

I had a almost similar idea. With Lisa watching Gravity Falls and Bill appears later.

You know, both Bart and Lisa Simpson are basically Stanley and Stanford Pines as Bart sometimes appears as a con man and thinks of ways to get money while Lisa is a intellectual prodigy at a young age.

I did take note of that similarity.
Particularly when I envisioned an alternate version of "Bill Cipher Being Erased"
from the climax of Weirdmageddon. Only, with Bart on Stanley's place.
There is just SOMETHING so fitting about Bart sitting in an easy chair like his dad, Homer.
and being smug over how he tricked Bill, and he is going to be erased from existence.
And, then there are these lines:
Bill: "YOU'RE the fool! Don't you realize you're destroying your own mind, too!?"
Bart: "Eh, whatever. I wasn't really using it for anything, anyway."
***
Bart: "(as he is looking at a family photo) heh. guess I was good for something, afterall."

I'm also imaging a scene where Bart and Lisa's relationship became strained after he unintentionally broke Lisa and Matt's project, ruining their chances of entering into their dream college.
It makes sense since along with his autism that gives him his intellect, he has six fingers. That makes him like Ford in "Gravity Falls", minus the ego. Lisa also seems like Ford if he were a girl, minus the six fingers and maybe the ego.

I can see Sideshow Bob making a deal with Bill.

Either him, or that Burns guy.
Regardless, Bill will have no shortage of deals to make in Springfield.

Must ask why there isn't a little more to the picture than that. Could have been a tad more interesting with a background.
And read the description and do wonder: How would it make sense for Bill to end up in Springfield after Weirdmaggedon ended? I mean, there is no real or canon connection between the two shows like there is with Gravity Falls and Rick and Morty, where the creators of both agreed their shows share a universe and have little easter eggs to connect them, such as Stan's mug, pen and notepad he lost to the portal dropping out of one in Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind. Not to mention Bill did die in the end of Weirdmaggedon, only his physical form remaining. Granted that he did do a chant to seemingly save himself over the mysterious Axolotl, but it still isn't enough to justify him ending up in Springfield. I there recommend the two coin theory, which makes a pretty convincing argument for what happened to Bill after his dying words.
But even if he ended up in Springfield, he most likely would be a ghost seeing he doesn't have his physical form. But well, also not sure if that would be what his chant would cause.
And well, must disagree with you on Bill looking like a creature from the Simpsons universe and Bart and Lisa being good substitutes for Dipper and Mabel. The former to me doesn't add up because the Simpsons rarely was supernatural, more slice of life. Most supernatural stuff I recall was when they mock religion, parody a movie franchise that has supernatural themes or the Halloween episodes which again are mostly parody. It never had a serious supernatural element like Gravity Falls. And Bart and Lisa while having cute sibling moments strike me personally as disliking each other more than Dipper and Mabel do and I do kinda also count in that they're not twins. Twins usually have a slightly different relationship than an older sibling with their younger one. But granted, the latter point is weak compared to the former.
With that, have my opinion on this and your idea, your choice what to do with the intake.

This was VERY difficult to read, due to lack of paragraphs..
I would grant you some theories to debunk your concerns.
but, I don't feel like having a pointless argument.
It's bad for my health.
If you don't like it, I am very sorry for that.
I just thought this was a fun(ny) idea to do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Certainly could be, though as a hobby story writer myself, I do think it needs a bit more reasonable build up.
And why not have an argument? As long as we don't needlessly insult each other and see each others point of view, it can be quite entertaining, not to mention I wouldn't mind hearing your theories.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(sigh) okay, fine.
the reason for the plain, white background is that the scene takes place NOT in the real world.
but, in the Dreamscape (as Bill Cipher is a Dream Demon, and without a physical body,
he can only exist in someone's dreams, which can often appear as a plain, white void if need be.)
(*I also suck at BG's, just to be honest, here.)
as for why he is there, well..his conciseness (which could have regenerated)
could have appeared anywhere in the multiverse..which doesn't really HAVE to apply to whatever is considered canon
(the "Multiverse" concept itself was created so than 'Canon'
didn't have to restrict writers, and enable "anything" to be possible.)
and, besides. The Simpsons as a series isn't known for it's consistency.
which their ages changing depending on the story, and all those "Future" episodes
going either way, and thus being all being considered non-canon, alternate futures.
so, the possibility of Bill Cipher's conciseness surviving/regenerating the memory eraser,
and somehow ending up in 'A' Simpsons universe somewhere isn't too far-fetched for the more open-minded fiction writer.
my remark over Bill looking like a Simpsons creature
stems from the "line" shape of the pupil of his eye. which some creatures in Simpsons, or Futurama have.
and, i get that Bart and Lisa are no Dipper and Mabel personality wise.
but, they still count as a 'Male and Female Siblings partnered together'
and, lastly. this whole concept can fall under the "Treehouse of Horror" category,
in terms of a weird scenario that isn't to be taken too seriously, and is just there to be entertaining..
I mean..come on: "Weirdmegeddon in Springfield."
if that were made into a movie, people would pay to see it in DROVES.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Would say just because the multiverse thing is something in like the DC or Marvel universe doesn't mean it can also apply to connect Gravity Falls and the Simpsons if you ask me.
And though granted the Simpsons has not much consistency, it still has triggers for future episodes and some episodes to have call backs to other ones.
Still not enough reason for me personally to connect the two shows universes so easily.
Its why I mentioned the two coin theory, which has quite a lot to back it up and makes it reasonable and seeing how good the continuity and writing work in Gravity Falls is.
Speaking of how good the continuity and even build up in Gravity Falls is, I sure have issues connecting it to what I recall from the Simpsons(Must admit, I haven't seen it in a while), seeing how different in style they are.
And though you as a fanfic writer can write it and for all I care can, I still think for a quality story it needs a bit more than that, though that is just my opinion.
Certainly could do better if that idea you're proposing is a Simpsons parody on Gravity Falls rather than connecting the two universes in what would bring a more serious story line into the Simpsons.
Do know the Simpsons do tackle some serious subjects, but its more a pure comedy show than Gravity Falls is, so it just doesn't work if you ask me.

No. the scenario I am going for in THIS image is "Bill Cipher invades The Simpsons"
which doesn't HAVE to have any real 'connection' as you call it to work.
Bill is just there, wrecking havoc in yet another world that isn't his own.
I would do the same thing with Powerpuff Girls, Danny Phantom, Sonic the Hedgehog,
Rugrats, The Fairly OddParents, Invader ZIM, and Steven Universe in a heartbeat.
there doesn't have to be any logic, or reasoning.
It's the FULL Multiverse. so, it make sit's own sense.
I am sorry that you seem firm in limiting your way of thinking
by placing the concept exclusive to just Marvel, and DC.
but, in truth. the Multiverse applies to EVERYTHING.
I'm done talking about this, now.
If you don't like it. Click the BACK button.
you've shared your opinion, and I gave you mine.
I don't want to drag this out, anymore.

I do must say I understand the mutliverse still applies to the multiple versions of one universe and even with it, I still think it needs more explanation, mainly because letting things happen just because you can let them happen because "multiverse" is not enough of an explanation for me to make it work.
Its all because I learned from bad fanfiction you can't just let things happen willy milly or with a weak explanation and the multiverse to me is a rather weak argument.
But well, you do you, stranger, it certainly is not my way of constructing the idea for a story, but if its your its not like I can tell you to not do it or keep you from writing it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Look. I do stuff like this ALL the time with my fanworks.
and, if you ask 'any' who knows me, they'll tell you that I've never written "terrible" fanfictions
(the way they talk, they act like everything I touch turns to GOLD. which even I think is over-exaggerating.)
I wasn't even being serious with this vector comic.
It was done purely for fun, and I have a "different" fiction in mind that I am working on.
This..this is just randomness that isn't even worth explaining.
something for fans to look at, have a hearty chuckle, and then move on.
Now, when I post 'My VERY FIRST Simpsons Fiction'
THEN, you can get invested in the fictional universe that I am crafting
as that will be much more deeper then anything a vector image can give you.
(and, is something I'll actually want to discuss with people in detail.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay then, my bad for misunderstanding it then.
Though I do wonder if getting no criticism even from your friends is good.
Maybe its just me, but getting some constructive criticism surely is better as pure praise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do for spelling errors and grammar mistakes.
and, I often discuss story points with them privately via notes.
(and, I have changed and dropped certain idea from those very talks.)
but, as for overall story and characterization I haven't received any negativity from them.
(some have even nagged me to continue something I have placed on hold..constantly.)
I would give you an example on one of my "good ones."
but, I haven't the slightest idea on what fandoms you like.
oh, heck..I'm gonna just wing it.
read this: Chapter 01 Outcast
it's a completed story, and my highest rate fiction
(a stranger on Fanfic.net even said he was invested in it while at an airport.)
It has some spelling errors that I am working on fixing,
but for the most part, It's still an enjoyable, and readable story.
you won't have to read the whole thing..just a few pages, or so.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The paragraphs look way too big. You certainly could write a little more together in one and do smaller spaces between them when you want to.
And besides some of the grammar issue, writing random words in all caps to emphasize them is just a tad weird if you ask me. Could have worked if you used the slightly tilted or thick letters instead, though that works better for dialog.
And I do not quite get how the chemicals creating the werebeast come from. Granted, I never saw much Teen Titans, so that might be a reference I miss, but its weird its just mentioned but not explained at least a little.
That's all I have for the start and I am not going to like, I am not interested in reading more, being a mix of the grammar mistakes like the start of sentences being written small and such as for my low knowledge on Teen Titans makes it not very intriguing to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I expected as much, given I have no idea what fandoms you are into
and, said story being old, with the errors that you mentions having yet to be fixed.
still..it's my highest rated piece of work.
and, despite the errors, fans somehow manage to enjoy it.
Perhaps when I write my first Simpsons fanfiction,
you may become a bit more invested in it.
but, bear in mind. I may be one of the few people in the world
who hasn't watched the Simpsons on television (my mother was strict, let's just leave it at that.)
so, I am fairly new to The Simpsons as a franchise,
but know 'enough' to get started on something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Am more invested in Gravity Falls, stopped watching the Simpsons a while back.
And people accepting works with terrible grammar... Well, I've seen worse fics with worse grammar getting way too much attention than I think they deserve(Jeff the Killer for example)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have no idea who that is..
Okay, try THIS, instead: Chapter 01: Starting Over
It's the only Gravity Falls fanfiction that I have, and is a more recent post.
Hopefully, you'll find it 'better', and more interesting..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just so you know, Jeff the Killer is the story most well known and most beloved in the Creepypasta fandom next to others such as Slenderman, etc.
If you were to ask me, the story could have used better pacing and Jeff could use more character, the overall realism the story tries to pull off is not very realistic and still its the most beloved story which makes a lot of fan art and shit. Its strange.
As for your new fix, the grammar is still off and the paragraph-ing of it all is quite weird for the whole entrance bit alone. A few things I noticed were things such as "and, the one family that held dominion over the lumber town was the Northwest's."
Again the sentence should open with the first word in it being written with a capital first letter and the was grammatically correct should be were, seeing were not speaking with a singular person but a family. The comma is also something that does not fit.
"AND, just like a royal family..they kept it's gates closed from the public." This is also a sentence I gonna point out. Again the comma and writing the and in all capital letters is unneeded. The two dots or dramatic pause doesn't fit either if its not a dialog. When writing non dialog sentences a dramatic pause in a written story is unneeded. I never once recall from a professionally written story such a thing(And I do mean only books, not comics or anything seeing what you wrote would go by the rules of a book and nothing else).

Your own lack of paragraphs is making your critique VERY hard to read.
which only reminds me why I use so much paragraphs, and spacing to begin with.
It's easier for me to READ with paragraphs.
when I read your comment, I can't tell where one sentence ends, and another begins!
Regardless, you do have some points that I am going to listen to.
and, I have just now made some edits based on your points.
Hopefully, It looks better now.
That would explain why I never heard of this Jeff: I don't go anywhere near 'CreepyPasta's.'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You certainly don't need to make such tiny paragraphs with that much space between them, that doesn't look visually pleasing.
Also, a sentence end is shown by that lovely little thing called a period.
Not to mention that while I talk to you, I don't paragraph much, because this is not a story, this is short compared to how I write in stories.
And coming to stories, traditional literature has certain rules, hence why I pointed out things like randomly emphazised words and the dramatic pauses, which aren't part for traditionally written literature.
Granted, I myself do have a few things to learn coming to the subject myself, have a whole book on it I am currently reading as for other classic stories I read to study(Such as lovely Lovecraft who's Cthulhu mythos I am soon going to start), but for what i do already know, I would say you could use a little learning yourself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(sigh) look, I don't want to argue (I thought I made that clear, already.)
and, I do recognize the period mark. I am NOT an idiot.
but, we have paragraphs for a reason.
and the format is which I write is easier for me to read, and understand.
so, despite your insistence on "just the period", I still find reading your messages difficult.
oh, and this sentence bugs me for some reason:
"Not to mention that while I talk to you, I don't paragraph much,
because this is not a story, this is short compared to how I write in
stories."
what's with the word "stories" being place like that? it looks off (well, to ME, anyway.)
Look, i'm sorry. I don't mean to be nit-picky.
and, I know you are generally trying to help me improve.
but, some of us read, and write differently from others.
and, I am sorry. but, I can't read without paragraphs, spacing and measured sentence lengths.
I dunno..maybe it's my Asperger's that makes me think differently from others,
and has given me a unique form of dyslexia.
who knows?
Again, I am sorry if I am upsetting you.
I just want you to understand that I see things differently from others.
some things about me can't be helped (which is why I am thankful for editors.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're not, can use a roasting myself to not get too cocky.
And certainly hope you're not using excuses through your illnesses, which I can't certify so I am overall quite skeptic about.
But anyways, still would recommend for when you get done writing to calm it down a bit with the paragraphs and such so it becomes more pleasing for others, but that's up to you.
And well, what I meant certainly is while I speak with someone over text, I don't really paragraph, especially not in single messanges, so don't compare how I speak to you with how I write stories.
Am seriously not mad though, dealt with worse, I can handle this.

good. last thing I want is to upset anyone who 'could' became a friend later.
I don't like hurting anyone's feelings. I'm just that sensitive with people.
I never use my brain condition as a "trump card"
fact, I tend to keep it to myself unless absolutely necessary.
(and, please don't refer to it as an 'illness.', I find that demeaning.
it's a "higher brain function", so it actually makes me more intelligent, if anything else.)
regardless of how less I talk about it
I also can't overlook that it's part of why I am such a Fanfiction Factory,
as my brain is so hyper-active, it cranks out new ideas like you wouldn't believe.
so, despite a few negatives..It has it's positives that count in the long run.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My bad then, though not entirely sure to call it higher brain function. Granted, I know nothing about either disadvantage of those, but either way I am not sure if it is a higher brain function.
And I sure know what its like getting a lot of ideas, I face a lot of that myself though not all ideas I get are good. I throw all ideas against a wall and see what sticks, seeing not all ideas are nessecarily worth keeping or working on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not to get all preachy about it, as even I dislike when my mother makes a big deal about it.
but, multiple experts studying the condition have confirmed it is a higher brain function.
in fact, one of the last recorded cases of a well known person with Asperger's
was a known scientist named Albert Einstein (yeah, THAT Einstein.)
so, that give me some positive self-esteem
if I have the same brain condition as history's most famous super genius.
I find I am bit like 'Doc Brown' from the BTTF film series.
as I get so many new ideas, that I get distracted, and overlook certain things.
It's both a Positive, and a Negative.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay then. Still would advice to be careful about which ideas to chose, mainly because I myself had to learn that not everything is worthy to make into a story
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My secret is that I write whatever I find interesting.
whatever I would like to watch, or read about..I do.
It's done me well so far, so I will keep at it.
but, if your advice here is to NOT writing about every stray idea that you think of,
don't worry, I've kept that in mind since the beginning.
like, I have gotten stray thought about Spongebob.
but, there is No flipping way I am even bothering with that!
I've even been tempted to write about Family Guy. only..I HATE Family Guy.
so, I repress that urge, as it isn't really worth the effort.

I'm glad you are getting into the Simpsons. I have always been a fan of this show ever since I was young. My parents always used to call me at 6pm from my room whenever the Simpsons were on because they knew I liked it. I'd watch final moments of The Weakest Link (kind of like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?") right before it ends and they announce the Simpsons will be next.
I used to love playing the Simpsons Wrestling on the PS1. I also got Road Rage, Simpsons Skateboarding, Hit and Run (like a Simpsons GTA) and the Simpsons Game that came out around the time of the movie.
In Hit and Run, I really loved playing as Bart and dressing myself as "Bartman".
Oh, and I got TOOOOONS of Simpsons comics. So many that I started running out of cupboards to store them in.
I haven't been watching the show on TV in these past years though. However, I did recently get the entire third season on DVD a few months back and binge watched it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I only just started getting into it while researching "Adult Cartoons"
for a Review that I posted about a few days ago.
In the review, I compared referred to Simpsons as "a 1950s Disney Cartoon"
when compared to similar cartoon Family Guy (which I HAAAATE with a burning passion.)
This is actually ironic, as my first Simpsons Experience in my childhood,
was when the Disney Adventure magazine was being published, and Simpsons comics sometimes were printed in the book.
(Yeah. for a moment, Disney has a licence to The Simpsons.)
What I found REALLY odd, was how much the episode "Homer the Heretic"
reflected my views on religion now, It's almost creepy.
as in that episode, Homer actually spoke with God in a dream.
and, remarked how: "I am a good person, why should I waste time having someone telling me I am going to hell all the time!?"
to which God actually saw Homer's point, and admitted himself
that he found church preachers to be annoying.
The episode even went on with Homer deciding to "worship" God in his own way,
and didn't think going to "some building" was all that necessary.
(oh, but why am I telling you all this?!
knowing you, you've ALREADY seen this episode before.)
Thank GOD for KissCartoon.
I can watch the whole series, AND It's movie in privacy.
and, catch up on the 20 something years that I missed because of my mother's views on the show.
