I spent three months working on this drawing: two months on the first two parts and one month on the extras. It was a real challenge, but I had fun trying to match the original Gravity Falls style. Here's a little behind-the-scenes!

The plan was to post it by the end of December, then by the first two weeks of January, and well... It's already February 3rd. I would have posted it much earlier, I was really eager to share it, but I wanted to add the extra drawings!

Mental note: never do giant drawings again because they lose quality when compressed 😞oh man

Ford: I suppose... he needs a name?
Bill: Yeah...
Both: hmm...
at the same time: Stephen/Pyramid!
Ford: He needs a NAME, not a DESCRIPTION. We should name him after one of the greatest minds on earth, Stephen Hawking! (lil sticker of 'science approved' Hawking's giving thumbs up) ...maybe shorten it to Steve?
Bill: Um, excuse you! PYRAMID is a BEAUTIFUL name! That was my Grandmother's name!
WHOSE THAT POKEMON
Pyramid Steve: pu... pa... pa...
PYRAMID STEVE!!!!

WHOSE THAT POKEMON

WHOSE THAT POKEMON

Bill: "What's your favourite colour?"
Ford, intensely: "Triangle. Do you like men?"

Ford, prying a bitey Pyramid Steve off a chewed cable. "Ah! Stevie, No! That's not food! Bad baby, bad!"
Ford: Bill, he keeps trying to eat the copper wires!
Bill: pssssssh, that's normal! It's good for him!
Bill, sweating: .......I think?
Ford: YOU THINK???
"What happened to the whole "OOH I KNOW LOTS OF THINGS" bit?!" Ford demands. He is making a stupid face while quoting Bill.
Bill: "Well EXCUSE ME, I didn't exactly stop to pick up Doc Spock's Baby Book on the way out of my dimension, OK?!!"

Pyramid Steve's favourite treat is pre-1982 pennies

(Ford slooooowly starting to realize his muse of infinite knowledge might, in fact, be a dumbass.)

Bill, squeeing. "His first silly straw!" 
Pyramid Steve is happily sitting with a silly straw in a glass placed in front of him.
Bill, turns away. "Ooooh! I'll get the camera!" 
he picks up a polaroid camera, pyramid steve is puckering up to drink-
pyramid steve CHOMPS! almost the entire the straw! with his tongue, he goes aaaaaaah and releases a now straightened straw into the glass
Pyramid Steve says TADA!, very pleased. Bill, in shock, snaps a polaroid

local baby too powerful

If Ford had a day off with little Steve, would they do father-son activities? Which ones?

Yup! All the normal stuff, hiking and bug collecting and games- though Ford has to be reminded that little Steve is still little and can't play Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons for awhile yet (Ford just gets excited, you know?)

Also playground time!

"Pines! Yalls lil TRIANGLE DEMON bit mah sweet lil boy!" says big Deon Gleeful, somekind of Popeye-Magnum PI mashup, father of 'Lil Buddy Gleeful.
Pyramid Steve whispers to his dad, Ford. Ford is very seriously listening, mhmm mhmm.
Double blue eye stare. "He says you're a poopy face liar."
"He CLEARLY bit him- UGH!" says Deon
"Just gimmie yer dang insurance so I can get my boy a RABIES SHOT." Deon says, sticking his hand in front of Ford. Ford looks, defeated. "Fine.. let me just..."
FORD BITES DEON. SURPRISE ATTACK!!!
FATHER AND SON RUN AWAY! "We're running out of playgrounds Stevie!"

Err, maybe not playground time.

Ford, happily talking to his son. He is dressed for field collection. "Ok Stevie, ready?"
Pyramid Steve, in new mudboots: yis!
Ford: wow, a flannel moth! what a find! be careful, they are-
fwwhip! tongue shoots out and catches the moth
Ford, sweating: ...poisonous
Pyramid Steve: -licking lips- yummy!

he's fine, that was just a spicy treat for him

(I am pretty sure ALL toddlers would eat a bug Ford, don't take it too hard. one day he'll like moth collecting less culinarily!)

"Did Ford join a CULT?" Stanley demands. Why are there so many triangles??!
"HOTSY-TOTSY! Is that SOLID GOLD?" he exclaims, examining the fancy Bill statue in the room. (Not the cage-crib or the pyramids or the weird scribbles or anything. Just the gold Stan, c'mon)
Stan pulls back. "Focus, Stanley," he says to himself, shutting his eyes to think better. "Make a plan".

He glances to the other side
He... squints.

Bord, dragging Stan in by his collar, looking maniacal and triumphant. "HA! SEE! HE SHOWED!"
Stan, confused and getting angry. "YOU invited me! Of COURSE I-"
Stan, trying to pry Bord's hands off of him. "What is your problem!"
Bord, insane smile. "WE HAVE A SITTER!"

Ford, gesturing at Baby Pyramid Steve, while putting his hand on Bill's shoulder. "This is my muse, Bill, and our child, Pyramid Steve"
Ford and Bill saying, "Leaving a whole lot of questions that don't need to be answered!"
Stan, visibly confused, "Yeeeeeeeeaaaaah, but how did you and Bill...?"
Ford and Bill answering, more strained, "Leaving a whole lot of questions that don't need to be answered!"

Leaving a whole lot of questions that don't need to be answered, Stanley!!!

I heard the song "Frontier Psychiatrist" by The Avalanches and it immediately reminded me of your Bill- the artists make songs out of clips from old movies, and I feel like this one is a perfect mix of chaos, tragedy, Bill's childhood, and the Theraprism.

On that note, is there a specific genre of Earth music or an artist that Bill would listen to? We know there was music in Euclydia, but is there any flavor of human music he likes? (Or would at least tolerate?)

Boy are you ever in luck because I have a whole post about what (mostly human) musical genres I think Bill would canonically like. And an addendum. And what he'd think about dreamcore. And a few specific bands I was asked about. And the ONLY Lemon Demon song I'd ever add to his (and Mabel's) playlist. And I made a playlist of what I think he'd listen to, although it's really more of a small sampling of the kind of nonsense he'd play. And what songs he'd like playing on the piano, which is a different question from what he listens to. And a further addendum to the initial posts about his tastes, plus a mention of how, in fic, Bill's tastes would change due to being stuck with the humans. And a little summary of most of the above.

(And as long as this post is turning into a masterpost for my musical taste headcanons, I'm going to add my post about the Mystery Shack gang's musical preferences and Ford and Mabel's similar tastes and songs Ford would like but doesn't know about and a smattering of stray thoughts including about Gideon's tastes and Gideon's tastes part 2 and Gideon's tastes part 3 goddammit. And the next time I try to find all my GF music headcanon posts, I'll run into this post first and save myself time searching for the rest.)

tl;dr:

Based on the info we have from canon:

we know he thinks non-musical (to us) sounds make for some damn good music, but understands the difference between music he likes and objectively "good music" by human standards

he's into mid-20th-century music—but one of the first human songs he specifically highlighted as good was garage rock and he really hit his stride infiltrating the human music industry with motown, so I tilt him closer to the 60s than the 40s

he's into fun party music, which drowns out the screams in his soul

he doesn't say he hates country music, but he really gives off those vibes

He's heard listening to a fair amount of EDM despite claiming synth music is "painful," so I put the dividing line for "good electronica" and "painful electronica" around 1990 and have him steer away from new wave in particular

Addictive earworms are his enemy, and I like to imagine him battling them like how medieval scholars drew knights battling giant snails

He's fairly fluent in popular music in general and can casually drop song references into conversations with humans.

Outside the info we have from canon, I imagine he's pretty easy to get into new music as long as it's "fun"—he doesn't like broody downer sad songs—but I think getting him into 3 or 4 mad-at-the-world-and-your-parents early '00s alt-rock bands would fix him.
