You mean that TB despite being outside the NR was still capable of going to the past? Huh... Don't remember this.

No, I mean that one of Bill’s Henchmaniacs literally knocked TB to the past despite them coming from the future.

And at that moment being outside space and time (within the Nightmare Realm).

This still goes in the problem of mundane objects being able to reach random points of time through just randomly drifting in the 4th dimension however.

When Bill says travel through time he is talking about a travel that humans cannot achieve, it is different than the fourth dimension thing since Dipper and Mabel can do it

That's a really good point actually.

It was not in defense, I’m saying that it was established in TBoB too

One of the interpretations I saw on YT is that he meant that humans can’t operate beyond linear chronology in a sense that we can’t go “2 BC - 3000 y. - 5 BC” or simply without the chronology, we have to go linearly like “2021 year - 2022 year - 2023 year - 2024 year”
But idk how much sense it makes, just saying

Technically Humans exist across time, since time is just a line with infinite spaces and in all of them we exist

Tho the 4th dimension is also called the time stream itself, so huh...

Tbh now that I think about it, Ford was never being able to time travel, meaning that the method that Blendin uses is a different way of using the NR.

Stop overthinking it, you are going in circles

No.

I think Fourth Dimension is just Axolotl’s dimension and since he is opposite of Bill it kinda makes sense for him to live in the same place as Bill but not messed up asf in terms of physics and causality

You'd be right if the "attracted together like potato chips at the bottom of the bag" wasn't used for both though.

Kaiser: what WOULD Bill have done if Ford had decided (that is, been dumb enough) to take him up on his offer?

Hirsch: Re: What Bill might have done, like all things that happen off camera, that question has no true canon answer. But if I had to speculate, in my gut I think Bill would have incinerated Ford on the spot the moment he got the formula to shut down the barrier. I don’t see Bill as a romantic, sweet, or charitable character. He’s a psychopath who takes what he can get. He sees people as toys and when he gets bored of playing with them tosses them aside. I think at that point he was done playing.

Kaiser: Makes sense. There’s a decided inclination to read Bill as being sincerely impressed with Ford on some level because that’s the trope (i.e. Q in Star Trek), but it’s not quite in keeping with how things shook out, is it?

Hirsch: That’s not how I imagine Bill. I see him as a serial manipulator. While he’s “seducing” you with flattery his brain is somewhere else imagining playing ping-pong with a severed head. But people are free to imagine any headcanon they like! I’m genuinely excited by other people’s interpretation of the characters–but I never forget my own.

The second thing is supported from Bill only making Ford his backscratcher, and freeing him only when he needed the formula.

He was pretty much done with him otherwise, which makes me think... would we be still able to use this?

To be honest Bill definitely wanted Ford, first thing he does after catching Ford trying to kill him is literally ask if Ford wants to join his team. Only after Ford rejects he goes mad

I mean, that’s literally what he shows he would do if Barrier goes down, he also never lied in his deals, so yeah pretty much.

Also, if you read Alex’s answer, he says it is NOT canon and is just his mere speculation.
