It's hard being someone who does genuinely get infuriated with Ford's actions and acknowledges a lot of his flaws and the people he hurt, while also liking (and relating) to his character enough that I would like him to have nice things sometimes and don't believe he's satan

#hes not my favorite guy #but i keep having to defend him because every time people talk about him its like “YEAH HES A SHITBAG WHO WANTS TO WATCH HIS BROTHER DIE”#“HED PROBABLY LAUGH IN HIS FACE WHILE HE GETS MAULED BY TIGERS”#when i was reading the fanfic O Brother I too thought he was being overly cruel to poor Stanley (in a way that made sense not an ooc way)#but then he like found out the deity that was his entire life was lying to him and that he hurt people #and that he no longer can SLEEP because hell hurt people again #and he has to figure out the impossible answer of what to do while everyone is upset and untrusting of him #and his best and only friend barely can LOOK at him #and all the comments are like “YEAH THIS IS WHAT HE DESERVES!!! FUCK YOU STANFORD”#meanwhile im over here like “oh my god thats so fucking awful!!! i feel so bad!!!”#like he genuinely has NO ONE right then thats fucking awful #its Jonathan Sims all over again except even the AUDIENCE hates him and like?????? please hes just misguided he does NOT deserve this #stanford pines #ford pines #gravity falls #again let me clarify HES NOT EVEN MY FAVORITE GUY #i obsess over him occasionally but im a Stanley defender through and through AND YET #i keep having to say “guys. hes not as bad as you guys think. and Stan isn't as GOOD as you guys think. GUYS. PLEASE.”#it truly is interesting how different focuses on characters influence the audiences perspective of them SO MUCH #because ngl remember how i mentioned J Sims?#i really feel like Jon and Ford are similar #meddled with deities they didn’t understand. had paranoid tendencies. isolated themselves often. had selfish tendencies.#often rude and abrasive but also had a heart #and again the audience LOVES Jon and hates characters for disliking him #but this audience (which probably is the same people too lol) hate Ford and feel vindicated when characters dislike him
