I'm celebrating my full graduation with a little competition! Rules below!

RULES:

You have to REBLOG this art with what you think it's referencing in the tags (or in the body text). I will delete every single comment on this post, NO COMMENTS with references, understand?

If you like the art and just want to reblog for funsies, you can. The more people I reach the better ;3

The first person to reblog with the correct reference will get a free art piece from me (any medium or fandom, just no NSFW art)

So, this is my pinned post now. If you're new here, hi, I'm a biologist and artist, here to post mostly my fanart.

My blog where I reblog other artist's works is @giulliadellareblogs

Check out my webcomic Biography of a Dragon.

And my AO3 where my username is Hakkekkyuchan.

I also post all of my art on Bluesky.

The reference was to Cocco Bill, a parody western comic created by Benito Jacoviti. My dad collected these comics and I have a pile of them in my house, so I've read them since I knew how to read. They are incredibly funny and creative, although the art might seem a bit racist, but consider that they are from the 50's and 60's and Jacoviti never actually had an opportunity to speak to Native Americans, his only knowledge of the west came from western movies. The main character of the story, Cocco Bill, is a rogue cowboy who does dirty jobs and drinks chamomile tea. The villains are usually rich guys who rule over big businesses and they intentionally fabricate distrust and hate between Native Americans and white colonizers to hide their nefarious goals. Bill has no alignment to anyone and he goes on killing sprees everywhere, but he always figures out who the real villain is in the end. The message of the comic is that, while no group of people is perfect, and history is complicated, those who hold power are the villains and sometimes, we need a little bit of rogue justice against them! (Jacoviti was a vehement anti-fascist and he was absolutely beloved in both Yugoslavia and Soviet Union for his works).

And I love hearing like how you became familiar with it. That reminds me of my relationship with donald duck comics!

What's the red triangle about?

I would ADORE to see Bill and Steve getting some food at some old diner type place(you don't have to draw an environment, I know that's a lot to ask!)

LIKE SOME STUFF LIKE THIS. STEVE COULD HAVE PANCAKES AND BILL FRIES AND BURGER.

OR MAYBE BILL COULD BE ENJOYING SOME FUN DRINK?? OR SOMETHING.

I have sooooo many funky food references, if this doesn't hit something you wanna draw, I can suggest a bunch of different types of servings.

Main point is—IT'S SUMMER! AND I WANNA SEE BILL AND STEVE ENJOYING SOMETHING REAL TASTY

My heart will LITERALLY be yours if you do this oh my Cipher (*´╰╯`๓)♬

NO ONE TALK TO ME FOR A WHILE, PAPA NEEDS TO GET HIS ANGLES STRETCHED, BRICKS PAMPERED AND EYELIDS RUBBED.

SMELL YA LATER SUCKERS, TIME FOR THE TREATMENT I DESERVE HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Oh man, that...That massage was so G O O D...and you got me a comfortable blanket-pillow arrangement...This is, this is the life. I should finish my eyeball cereal and pudding before they take all of this away...Maybe I could even get a nap in...

THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL, THE CARE, THE LACK OF DIPPING-ME-INTO-SAUCES-AND-RUNNING-AWAY!

Message for Bill: Would you consider repeating these procedures in the future? How do you feel?

REFRESHED, RE-MOISTURIZED, THRIVING! AGAIN, AGAIN YOU MAD WITH HANDS OF GOLD, ANOTHER ROUND! [... If Patient #323322 behaves for the next few asks and the majority agree he should be allowed to go for another round, Theraprism Staff will allow Mr. Cipher another trip for 'Physical Therapy' purposes.]

Because so many ppl have the memory it's the same clip everytime and it's not and then they like when they think of Bill laugh they think of the worst very preformative one. Which is fair because he does it a fair bit, but he has so many better laughs that are soooo good.

It's very clear that Alex Hirsch was improving on voicing him as time went on with how many better laughs he has like more often as time goes on

Not to say I don't think he should have any fake sounding laughs, I think at some moments it really serves that he doesn't sound actually gleeful... these are based on how much these laughs make me smile in return because I feel Bill coming through.

The bad ones are a bit of a mixed bag on sometimes it's just kind of a mild voice acting flop or when it actually suits the occasion, I didn't really dive that much deeper into it here.

This may sound very critical by the by. I want to clarify that I would never wish anyone other than Alex to have done Bill's voice, I think he did an incredible job in general and literally it's one of my favorite voices ever and a huge reason I'm so endeared to Bill Cipher. I cannot see him with another voice and I don't really desire to.

I also am by NO means a good voice actor. I'm actually an incredibly bad one and couldn't even do these laughs I deem "bad". I'm liiiterally just looking at this through the perspective of "that's someone I know very well", "oh, that didn't sound much like he's into it" and "THAT'S SO HIMM."
