hey remember when i was like "teehee wouldnt it be fucked up if bill and ford talked about bills home dimension and he alludes to destroying it that would never happen though haha" aahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahaha

it's very... odd to me that people act like stan has a better handle on interpersonal relationships than ford, bc like... he really doesn't?

like, the main difference in their approach is that stan is extroverted while ford is introverted, but neither of them are Good at maintaining relationships.

stan has managed to find a sort of family in soos and wendy despite the odds, but even then he doesn't want to call attention to how he feels about the two of them. he doesnt want to admit soos is like a son to him, or that wendy holds a space more important than 'seasonal cashier'.

and when it comes to ford, he seems almost entirely unable to conceptualize who he is without comparing them. he's the worse twin, the screw up twin, the dumb twin, ect. he's always comparing himself to ford!

and like, the show kinda brushes past this in favor of 'stan values his family, unlike ford, whos a self obsessed workaholic', which doesn't even... begin to make sense with how they're actually written.

ford does think about stan, and he thinks about him with a ton of regret. over a decade after the science fair, ford is still actively grieving the loss of his closest friend and seemingly the only family he had any real bond to.

he won't straight up say this, though, because it's an open wound and anger feels safer. he can't contact stanley, because he's convinced himself they're both better off like this.

after the science fair, ford becomes a hermit. he only just barely keeps in contact with fiddleford, and seems shocked when he realizes he was lonely from living in the woods alone.

stan seems to have tried to make friends during the decade or so he was homeless, but the implication is that the friends he made were often using him or just bad people.

he's just as likely to isolate as ford is, just in a very different way

The Book of Bill looking like a vandalized Journal 3 wouldn't have made much sense in universe but it would've fucked and also be funny. Imagine Bill creating a mock up of Journal 3 in his Theraprism arts and crafts sessions just to vandalize it. Actually post cancelled, do you think TBoB looked like a vandalized J3 to Ford since the book personalizes itself to the reader.

What is the one thing you missed most about Gravity Falls?

"I spent years back then studying the weird and wonderful things in Gravity Falls. The abnormal events, anomalous mutations and monsters, all the odd little things you wouldn't expect of such a sleepy little town but, I have to admit.. it doesn't compare to the people here." "It was alarming of course when I came back, much had changed in 30 years. It was almost surreal. Yet now that I've had my feet on the ground longer it's alarming how much can change in even 3 years since then. People grow and change and things keep moving in the lives of everyone you meet, and those you have yet to come across or never will." "I used to believe myself truly alone here, that I couldn't connect with the people of Gravity Falls. Yet now I find myself waving at friendly faces without fear of judgment, even spending time to catch up or just allow others to ask me how my day has gone, or where we've been since that summer." "My family has taught me much now. Including the simple fact that you shouldn't take those in your life for granted, and to appreciate the value their life experiences have."

FOR THE FLUSTER GAME!

Imagine, if you will, Ford cracking the lamest jokes he can think of, trying to make you smile. When you give him a grin and a quiet chuckle, his eyes light up with delight. He places his fingertips on your sides, skittering them up and down and beaming as you lose your composure. "I didn't know I was that funny, sweetheart!" He can't help but tease you, but he just loves to see you smile <3

ANON….. ANON OMG…. …….8.5/10.

If anyone else wants to read about Glenn Ford's interest in reincarnation and his alledged 5 previous life, everything about it can be found on archive.org in Americans who have been reincarnated (1980) by Banerjee, H. N.

Wait the book of bill appearing to Ford first is fucking HILARIOUS actually. Ford literally killed Bill less than a month ago, and Bill's still banking so hard on him getting him out of therapy that the book shows up in Ford's stuff MULTIPLE TIMES. Girl the situationship has been over for thirty years give it up 💀

as much as I do like the Horrors of ford being in the multiverse, I do kinda wish there was more stuff focusing on the good experiences (however few) he had and the friends he made with the knowledge he would never see them again

like, he was close enough to a group of people that he got tattooed with them. he misses dimension 52. and he had to know that both of them would end, sooner or later, because staying in one place increased chances he'd be caught. because, despite all of this, his destiny is to kill bill cipher.

how many favorite books. how many foods that he ate every day until he left and realized oh. I'll never eat that again. how many songs stuck in his head that don't exist. how many words that he wants to use but they don't translate and there's not even something close to their meaning here so he can't even try to explain what he means
