## What Makes Him Pure Evil?

### In General

* While he has many comedic moments throughout the series, none of them detract from his heinousness, with most of them just showing just how cruel, sadistic, and vile he truly is.
* Even though he is a Dream Demon, he was a different species in the 2nd Dimension before and he was interested in spreading chaos when he destroyed his dimension and took sadistic pleasure, before he went to the Nightmare Realm and became a Dream Demon, which proves he has a clear moral agency.
* Despite claiming that the Henchmaniacs are his "friends", he doesn't actually care for them, as he is only kind to them so he can be praised and admired by them, angrily yelled at one of them to walk off their injuries, threw a temper tantrum that almost destroyed his castle with them in it, and didn't care when they got hurt during a fight with the Shacktron and instead got annoyed at their failure.

### Background

* He destroyed his homeworld, the Second Dimension, by plunging it into fiery chaos, killing all those he had ever known (including his own family), and effectively wiping out his entire species, all simply because he hated living there. While it was said that he had a bad relationship with his family and that his home was a place of "flat minds in a flat world with flat dreams", it doesn't justify his actions in any way.
* He tormented several historical people with nightmares for failing to create portals for him, including the ancient Egyptians, U.S. president George Washington and film director Stanley Kubrick.
* He tormented a Native American shaman from the lands that would later become Gravity Falls, he was known as "Modoc the Wise", and after foreseeing a catastrophic event involving Bill that could potentially destroy the entire world, he set himself on fire in an effort to prevent it.
* He manipulated Stanford Pines into making the portal for him in order to cause Weirdmageddon through charm and flattery, making Stanford think that Bill was his friend.
* When Stanford's friend Fiddleford McGucket witnessed what is on the other side of the portal and realized Bill's true nature, Bill said that Stanford can't stop him and that "it would be fun to watch you try". It is also possible that he intentionally hurt Ford's eyes while possessed him, as the blood on pages in 3 Journal about Bill is from Ford's eyes.

### Season 1

* Under Li'l Gideon's orders, he tried to steal the code to the Mystery Shack's safe, hoping that Gideon would help him with Weirdmageddon.
* After failing to bring Gideon the code to the Mystery Shack's safe, he tried to kill Dipper, Mabel and Soos, planning on destroying Stan's mind when he was done.

### Season 2

* He tricked Dipper to possess his body so he could destroy his Journal, while also destroying the laptop that Dipper was using to find the author and absuing Dipper's body in multiple ways.
	+ As revealed in *Gravity Falls: Journal 3*, had Bill succeeded in destroying the journal, he would have jumped off of a water tower in Dipper's body and leave the latter in the dream state forever, and make it look like Dipper committed suicide, with it also being implied that he would have either possessed Mabel to leave her trapped in the dream state as well, or gaslit her into committing suicide out of guilt.
* He possessed Blendin Blandin and tricked Mabel into giving him the inter-dimensional rift to bring about Weirdmageddon under the pretext that he would make summer endless so Dipper would not take an apprenticeship with Ford and leave her behind.
* He brought about Weirdmageddon, in which he caused havoc and destruction throughout Gravity Falls.
* He imprisoned Mabel in the Prison Bubble so she would remain there forever. While Mabel was much happier there than in the real world, the place was a lie and its inhabitants were disguised monsters who tempted Dipper, Wendy, and Soos into remaining there forever.
* He deformed Preston Northwest's face after he tried to ally with him.
* He unleashed bubbles of pure madness, causing multiple citizens to go completely feral and insane.
* He tried to convince Ford to join him along with his henchmaniacs, when Ford refused he turned him into a gold statue to use him as a back scratcher.
* He destroyed all three of Ford's journals and then tried to have 8-Ball and Teeth eat Dipper alive.
* He tortured Gideon by forcing him to do a cute dance in a cage for the rest of eternity after he betrayed him.
* He rounded up Gravity Falls' citizens and stacked them into a "frozen throne of human agony" after they've been made into stone by the Eye Bats.
* He killed Time Baby and most of the Time Police except Blendin Blandin, while also not caring about Time Baby telling him that Weirdmageddon could end the very fabric of existence itself.
* He attempted to expand Weirdmageddon beyond Gravity Falls to the entire world and then the universe, and he attempted to manipulate Ford into joining him.
* He tortured Ford so he could learn how to take Weirdmageddon global.
* He turned Wendy Corduroy, Li'l Gideon, Fiddleford McGucket, Robbie Valention, Soos Ramirez and Pacifica Northwest into poster decorations for his castle right in front of the Pines family. They are shown screaming while being decorations, conforming they are conscious.
* After Dipper and Mabel escaped to buy Stan and Ford time, Bill turned into a more demonic form while saying that he is going to turn Dipper and Mabel into corpses, then seconds later claiming he will disassemble their molecules.
* He threatened to kill Dipper and Mabel if Ford didn't tell him how to take Weirdmageddon global and after capturing them, then he tried to kill Dipper or Mabel "just for the heck of it". It's seen through his eye that he would've killed Mabel first, and he would have if Ford didn't stop him and give in.
* While he did agree to leave Dipper, Mabel and Stan alone when Ford agreed to let him into his mind (who was actually Stanley in disguise), not only is this pragmatic so he could get what he wants, it is also implied that even if Ford would give Bill the equation to make Weirdmageddon global in exchange for unlimited power, Bill would kill him and the rest of his family anyway, since Bill always manipulative when making deals.
* In his final moments, he cowardly begged Stan to spare him by offering him anything he wants, before unsuccessfully trying to kill him for tricking him into going into his mind instead of Ford's.
