A question that's been on my mind for a while has been Bill's true nature. It's been pretty vague in what he's been trying to do or what exactly he wants. It's all part of a good mystery, but le's see what we can make of this so far:

First off, Bill's rules. We all know him for his dream state and his satanical powers to affect the real world.Bill describes himself as pure energy but without a body. Other than watching everyone in the real world, Bill is powerless in the real world. Thus, he has to make clever interventions with his deals to get what he wants. But what does he want?

Second, Bill seems to have been absent before his summoning by Gideon. I suppose the Author sealed him to prevent him from doing anything bad, but we still don't know what Bill did that made the Author so afraid of him. In fact, it's strange how Journal 2 has the summoning ritual but Journal 3 says not to summon him. Was Journal 2 in someone else's hands when he wrote Journal 3?

Now we talk about Bill's motives. We know this much so far:

- He needs Dipper, Mabel, and Soos alive.

- He wants Journal 3 (but why?)

- There's "something he's been working on"

- He once owned a body that wasn't human (not too important, but interesting to note)

- The laptop contains some truths that Bill needs covered

- He's kind of a psychopath

- Wants to create the nightmare realm

- He is not responsible for the upcoming apocalypse, but he knows what's going to happen as result.

I'm not going to be revealing anything mindblowing, just going to clarify a few things. Bill really needed something from Gideon but he never really states this. Interestingly, he says this to Dipper in the same vague manner in his first meeting in Sock Opera (good thing Dipper was smart enough to decline). The second time they meet, he cleverly asks for a "puppet". Going back to Dreamscaperers, Bill may have been asking for Gideon's body and to claim ownership of the second Journal. But despite these plans, he doesn't want to kill his enemies. It may relate to his "wheel" in that all the people he's met are cards that he needs later.

Bill is not the one causing the "apocalypse". He reveals that he's making a nightmare realm in the future so that he can be present anywhere, but he's not trying to end the world. In both major appearances, Bill states that "darkness" is approaching, but he doesn't say that he's going to create it. In fact, I think this event just might be the Author's reappearance from the portal changing the show forever. Maybe the apocalypse was all a ruse and that the real event is Bill's plans to fuse the real world with the dream world. Even then, what wil he do?

Bill is most definently evil. (Listen to his laugh...) He wants mayhem and it's most likely something he wants all for himself. Bill is biding his time for something so that his plan can come into fruition. He also doesn't want Dipper getting to this truth and has been hindering him as much as possible. But Bill still needs him? The Journals are something that Bill also wants because he wants to hide the truth or that they contain something useful for his plan (Perhaps the invisible ink is giving him a hard time?). I dunno...

What do you guys think?
