"Fiddle"Ford??

Here's an ISAB design I manifested because why not lol

Little bonus underneath (CW: suggestive)

THANK YOU!!!! I never really saw how the fandom saw Ford as a "toxic" character or "egotistical"? and you verbalised every single reason as to why I think so.

I do think that Stanford got a tad egotistical as his relation with Bill progressed before portal incident, but for fucks sake forgive the completely isolated socially awkward outcast from thinking they had the opportunity to change the world for the better because A TRIANGLE LOOKING DEITY he believed in kept telling him he's capable of doing that.

Think rationally for a second, is it actually possible to not get your ego inflated when you are LITERALLY working on A PORTAL to DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS with AN INTERDIMENTIONAL BEING that communicates with you USING YOUR MIND????

In the end, he got manipulated. His worst version of himself is a product of his misplaced trust on Bill, and he never chooses to side with him when he finds out his true intentions. Even at his "worst" (because everyone seems to be brushing aside that he was EXTREMELY sleep deprived, rightfully very paranoid (his poor eyes) completely stressed and could only afford to be in a flight or fight state of mind) he chose to do things for the better of the world. He called his brother over to hand him one of his journals so that the portal would not be completed, sure it's been 10 years since they saw eachother and you could interpret this as Stanford being selfish, but for fucks sake please PLEASE realise that the whole dimension's at stake PLEASE don't tell me you seriously think Ford could entertain a fucking scenario in which he gets to bond with his brother DO I NEED TO REMIND HE IS SLEEP DEPRIVED AND EXTREMELY PARANOID AND THE WHOLE WORLD'S AT STAKE???

I'm gonna stop rambling now, I'm very tired but THANK YOU. The fandom needs more people like you lol

Salty rant v2

This is basically me angrily screaming about Ford again (wow what a surprise) to a wall (myself, my rotten brain and my blog) so feel free to skip this

Fuck it I'll bite

Gf fans when you tell them Ford had every right to be mad at Stan for ruining his Project (he saw it as the only chance to prove himself and get accepted in his dream school, and even tho WE know it was an accident, Ford doesn't he thinks it was a purpose sabotage and it really doesn't help that Stan didn't told him which resulted in him making a fool of himself Infront of ppl he wanted to impress and then Stan tried to pass it off as something that didn't matter even tho it mattered so much to Ford, like of course he'd be mad everyone would be mad in his position)

Gf fans when you tell them it's not Ford's fault that Stan got kicked out it's all Filbricks fault (seriously guys, blame the fucking abusive father, not the 17 year old living in an abusive household)

Gf fans when you tell them standing up against an abusive person (especially if they're your parent) is hard to do for yourself let alone for someone else

Gf fans when you tell them Ford wasn't the "golden/favourite child" Filbrick dgaf about him and only wanted to use his intelligence for money and both Ford and Stan were abused just in different ways (seriously find a different dynamic to describe an abusive household than "golden child" and "scapegoat" I say as I put a gun in your head)

Gf fans when you tell them Ford wanting to go to college isn't egotistical

Gf fans when you tell them Ford wanting to make a name for himself doesn't make him egotistical (he literally grew up in an abusive household, and was bullied and treated like an outcast for most of his life, him seeking out validation is a trauma response not egotism)

Gf fans when you tell them if Ford is petty for correcting Stan's grammar then Stan is equally as petty for refusing to hold his hand over a thank you literally seconds ago (of course he had the right to want him to thank him and be mad, but it was the END OF THE WORLD, they are both responsible in that scene)

Gf fans when you tell them Ford isn't ignorant for being manipulated by Bill cuz 1) Bill is a master manipulator who's managed to manipulate and terrorise humanity since forever using lies/flattery/fear 2) despite having a high IQ he has a low EQ and therefore isn't able to tell if someone has ill intentions due to being....an outcast and therefore doesn't have the social skills to be able to tell others true intentions/manipulations which made him an easy victim for Bill (do u guys even know what manipulation means)

Gf fand when you tell them the reason why Ford didn't try to reach out to Stan was because he thought he was doing fine since he had seen an ad of his on tv (he had no way of knowing Stan was still homeless anymore, and you don't usually see homeless people's ads on tv), not because he didn't care

Gf fans when you tell them Ford didn't force Fiddleford to do shit for him, and that he was against the use of the memory gun and wanted him to get rid of it but Fiddleford literally erased his memories of it so he could continue using it. And that therefore Ford isn't to blame for everything that happened with the memory gun just cuz Fiddleford had bad coping mechanisms. (Seriously you all are acting as if he pointed the memory gun on his head and forced him to abandon his family and build him the portal. No!! Fiddleford made those decisions himself he could had left Gravity Falls at any moment and return to his family but no he didn't, he chosed to stay and start a fucking cult. That is on him. Not on Ford)

Gf fans when you tell them the way Ford acted during the time where he was literally being abused, manipulated and isolated by a demon is way more complex and naused than "ego! ego!".. because he was literally being abused and manipulated...

Gf fans when you tell them the reason why Ford called Stan to hide his journals wasn't because he only wanted to use him as a way to fix his mistakes but because he was literally really desperate and feared for the safety of the world and he didn't have anyone else he could trust and that he was hella traumatized due to being literally tortured both physically and phycological and sleep deprived and on the bring of insanity (of fucking course he wasn't gonna act logically and say mean shit he didn't actually mean, he was losing his mind! Stan had also said mean shit to him because he was angry but nobody talks about that)

Gf fans when you tell them Ford being mad at Stan for opening the portal is understandable, because 1) he literally ignored all the warnings that the portal could potentially destroy the whole world and 2) he was literally about to FINALLY killing Bill after 30 years of fighting for his life in the multiverse to try and find a way to

Gf fans when you tell them Ford's trust issues are completely understandable because he was literally betrayed, manipulated and abused by the "person" he trusted the most (Bill). And the other two people he trusted did something that hurt his trust on him (Fiddleford erasing his memories, Stan ruining his project)

Gf fans when you tell them Ford's and Bill's relationship isn't "toxic yaoi/messy divorce!" And that it was incredible abusive and that FORD was a victim ( average gf fan claims they "don't romantize/support the toxic ((call it abusive guys, that's literally what it is)) elements of this ship I just like to explore unhealthy dynamics in fiction:) *proceeds to make 10 posts of "he fucked the triangle!" jokes and gets mad at you if you actually point out the abuse and makes 100 aus where they get back together/stay together*

Gf fans when I tell them that I really don't care about what Alex has said about Ford being "egotistical" or "ignorant" because that's also the same guy who said he didn't intended for Pacifica to come off as a victim of abuse because controlling your child with a bell is total normal parent behaviour guys (/s). (I stopped listening to most of the stuff he said after that, not gonna lie, cuz most of the stuff he says about Ford's "ego" and "ignorance" are flat out victim blaming) ((I mean come on guys, he literally says he based Ford's and Bill's relationship off REAL LIFE toxic relationships he's seen and then he goes and says shit like how it's Ford's own "ego and ignorance" fault that he's ended up in that situation. Don't you guys think that's a bit weird))

Seawatt from parkour civilization is a wild choice and I'm here for it

I HAVE A NEW ART CHALLENGE

Draw your favorite villian that died in the theraprism of tbob and with tha premise you can continue with anythkng you like.

I did this with Seawatt from Parkour Civilization.

I hope you like the idea!!

He doesn't like Tad. Nobody likes Tad.

I think I might develop this whole concept into a proper AU (Triple T AU I guess) in which Bill, Steve and Pou are childhood friends and Tad Strange is an antagonist, but I'll have to work out the details before I decide to say anything more

I also made a small post based on this concept so if you wanna check it out go here

I'll write up the details and post them later at another date

I've officially lost it.

Happy family

Can you draw Stanford in his black costume thingie in "Not What He Seems" and "A Tale for Two Stans" :3

Erm, Bendy, Acshually it's "of" not "for"

I prefer mabifica a lot more over dipcifica mainly due to what the pines twins would want in a hypothetical relationship with her. Because I don't have too much of a problem with Dipper wanting Pacifica to be selfless, but his appeal in her is purely hinged on her CHANGING herself, while Mabel only wants Pacifica to free herself from the shackles of her trauma.

I feel like Dipper likes Pacifica for what she potentially could be (it's pretty much canon) but Mabel grows to appreciate her for who she is and grows to like her for her, which is a relationship dynamic I enjoy a lot more to be honest.

I know it's very headcanony, but whatever 🤪
