"...A different form, a different time."

Its been 618 years after the events of Gravity Falls. Earth has been thrown into the midst of a nuclear apocalypse, and everything that once was is either destroyed or mutated beyond recognition. Humanity is extinct, civilization is no more, and the little town of Gravity Falls is long gone.

Life goes on unfettered, however, on planet Venus. Looking for fun as well as an outlet for his awesome power, the Gun God Yung Venuz makes frequent trips to Earth in order to slay the many mutated beasts that reside there. One day in the wastelands, however, he discovers more than he bargained for.

Y.V. comes upon the petrified form of Bill Cipher, the infamous dream demon who took control of the Nightmare Realm. He reaches out for it, and, for the first time in hundreds of years, the statue's outstretched hand is shaken.

Except, this time, it wakes up.

For the first time in trillions of years, Bill is mortal. Powerless and livid, he soon learns of Y.V.'s godhood and knows that his best chance of getting back what he has lost is through him.

He sees the god's lavish lifestyle, with all the power and the luxury, and figures his best bet of manipulating him is through charm. Bill had done it many times before -- find a poor schmuck and get him thinking you really care before tearing his heart out -- surely this will be a cinch.

However, a whole lifetime of long-forgotten traumas are about to be uncovered, ones that have laid untouched for more than a trillion years. All those eons ago, Bill had erased the things that made him feel sad, made him feel regretful, made him feel empty...but now, confronting them is no longer his choice. He will need to learn the name of his grief, the root of his anger, the rawest and most vulnerable parts of himself.

He will accept that he had loved once. Loved a simple life, a mortal life. Can he accept that he may love again?

Hi there! We're Minty (@mintytrash) and Emily (@chiiroptereh), two brainrotted fangirls overly passionate about gay triangles, and this blog serves as a playground/archive/initiation regarding our personal interpretation of the Yungbill shipping. This is a fun place primarily for our own enjoyment, but we also hope that we can convert others onto our bizarre ship, too, or at least put some smiles on faces!

Hope you enjoy our weird ramblings! (No hard feelings if not; we are cringe but we are free) Let us know if you have any questions or just wanna chat. Thanks for stopping by!

So, Bill is a pretty inherently childish character. He just wants to break rules and do whatever the hell he wants with no regard for anyone else because he can. Venuz lives with a pretty normal kid (Yung Cuz), and I like to imagine that he raised him himself, so Venuz knows how kids act. I think that Bill dropping his mask and revealing that, essentially, when things went to shit he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "la-la-la" instead of dealing with it like an adult showcased that immaturity of his, and Venuz recognized it.

Now, Venuz's feelings in regards to this depend on your headcanons of his character. Personally I bounce around two different ones: the Nuclear Throne interpretation and the Gun Godz interpretation.*

In NT he's just what we would think of when we think of a god; he's immortal, he's all-powerful, he's always been around and has always been a god. In this case, he can afford to be a careless and trusting guy because he can solve any problem with a thought. This Venuz immediately takes what Bill says at face value and lemme tell ya if he wasn't in love with the guy before this tragic side of him sure did it. Venuz likes when his gold chains are squeaky-clean, not his lovers; I think he adores that Bill's a terrifying disaster. (Not that he doesn't want to help of course; I'm sure the morning after was breakfast in bed and excessive cuddles and kisses)

In GG, Venuz is still a god, but he wasn't always. (I think I unconsciously took a lot of this from this awesome fic so credit where it's due lol) The planet runs on a system where Gun God is a title taken by force, i.e., to become the Gun God you need to kill the Gun God. He has been through the grinder and though he's mellowed out quite a bit after becoming Gun God he has issues really and truly trusting people. This Venuz is more cautious and keeps Bill's history of being a master manipulator in mind, knowing that there is no reason at all that Bill couldn't be putting on an act. That being said, Bill is pretty much harmless as long as Venuz doesn't consciously decide to return his powers to him, so he still tries to comfort him just in case.

Both are pretty great I think, one is lower-stakes and fun while the other has room for more angst and character growth. There is a hole in the GG logic though which is that if Bill got his hands on a gun he could just kill Venuz and become the Gun God, so uh...oops? Idk, this ship is still mostly crack and good fun tbh.

*TL;DR: NT Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "shit. i love him even more now"; GG Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "ok but if he's actually telling the truth then he needs me so"
