Hello, Bill Green. It's me, Doug Perkins.

Dill Pickle is the slash ship between Bill Green and Doug Perkins from the Big City Greens fandom.

Canon

Bill Green and Doug Perkins have become good friends, despite how the events of their first meet went. Both characters share a love for fishing, and both don't appreciate being lied to (despite the various amount of lying Bill did when they first met). Although Doug doesn't have children, he and Bill still share a dad mentality, as shown in "Like Father".

Bill and Doug meet in "DependaBill", as Doug is moving into the apartment next to Alice's house. Doug displays a very accepting disposition towards Bill, which impresses him. Upon entering the apartment, Bill joyously discovers that Doug is into fishing and he just so happens to need a new fishing buddy after his other friend bailed at the last minute. While Bill clearly wants to fill the gap, he does not make it obvious. Cricket suggests to Bill that he be direct and show how dependable he is. He shows up at Doug's apartment and offers to help him with fixing something for him.

Doug tells him that he needs to fix the wiring in the ceiling; something Bill is unfamiliar with, but gives it a try anyway. Unfortunately this results in him getting electrocuted and falls through the ceiling; angering Doug who kicks him out. Later, Cricket convinces Bill pretend to be a repairman to fix the wiring again. He does so and reveals himself to Doug, only for him to get angry again and kick him out. Bill is saddened over losing a potential friend, but this time Nancy tells him to just be honest with him. Later that day, the Greens meet out by the pond where Bill apologizes to Doug for his behavior as he wanted a fishing buddy badly and wanted to impress him. Doug forgives Bill and he finally agrees to be his fishing buddy; sharing a good laugh with each other.

Fanon

Dill Pickle seems to be a rare pairing within the Big City Greens fandom. It can affectionately be seen as "old man yaoi". The earliest known trace of it is seemingly artwork from user star-nosed-nerd on Tumblr under the Dill Pickle BCG tag. A couple other artworks for the pairing do exist under the same tag, however.
