Loosen my mind from within before it starts to wear and thin

[aimasup]

Started out as unable to decide an outfit for him, spiralled into more...

Why yes the third pic is directly referenced from Mary Poppins costumes

An au where fiddleford “saves” ford before he can complete the portal and renders him a husk of the person he used to be

This hurts me more than it hurts you ❤️

i forgot to put this here but UUUUGGHHHHHHHHHH i can't not share

[suzdalcatz]

Thinking about that one society of the blind eye promo image where you can see young fidds in mcguckets shadow im so ill over him

[gerardwaygirlmoments]

I feel like sometimes people set up FiddAuthor as the "wholesome" alternative to the toxicity of BillFord, as though Fiddleford isn't a cult leader who eventually manipulates and damages the minds of (besides himself) first Ford and then the entire town and also would be cheating on his wife and neglecting his son. Ford is his side-piece.

Fiddleford McGucket and the decent into madness

[d00rkn0b]

my BoB hasn't arrived yet so heres some journal related stuff 👍 idk why it turned out so angsty though I was actually in a pretty good mood while drawing these

[zeriphi]

I've seen a couple people draw this au where instead of wiping his own memory and driving himself mad, Fiddleford has to stop Bill and try to save Ford himself. That's neat. I vibe with that (read: I like pain)

[fist-of-vengeance]

hey. can people please stop parroting "stan only regained his memory because it's a disney show" like it's an objective fact and somehow a storytelling flaw? because that's reductionist and straight up untrue. stan regaining his memory is not a random deus ex machina, it's clearly established earlier in the season that the memory gun isn't permanent via mcgucket's storyline. as soon as mcgucket watches the tapes in society of the blind eye, he begins to gradually heal and regain his memories. it makes perfect sense that mabel's scrapbook (and in journal three, stan and ford's old home movies) would function the same way for stan.

realistically, stan probably wouldn't have remembered his entire life in the span of a week, but his recovery is obviously being condensed for the sake of pacing. there's a ton of awesome fanworks based on the idea that he's still recovering new memories long after the end of the show, particularly from the darkest period of his life when he was homeless and estranged from his family. but that's not relevant to the finale. what matters for the show's purposes is that stan remembers the events of the past summer, so that his goodbye with dipper and mabel at the end of the episode holds dramatic weight. because THAT'S HOW YOU WRITE A STORY.

Hellooooo I have not stopped thinking about your au where mcgucket uses the memory gun on ford. Do you have any ideas about what happens afterwards?

Sure do! It’s been getting a lot of traction, so I ought to bring it up again.

I want the AU to evolve into a psychological battle between the two of them. Stuff like Ford leaving himself signs, scrawling messages on the wall behind his bed so that he can find them again when Fiddleford inevitably figures out he’s learned a new piece of information and aims to take it from him.

It would be reminiscent of Stephen King’s Misery, complete with Fiddleford finding Ford’s helplessness to be cute (but then coming to find it frustrating and intolerable when he cannot complete basic tasks).

I aim to include Stan and Bill. Either Ford finds a way to retain enough identity to contact Stan before Fiddleford finds out (unlikely he’d get the memory of him jogged back, though) or Ford sent the postcard at the same time he does in the series, but before Stan arrives, Fiddleford comes back to the shack and kidnaps Ford.

I want Fiddleford to have good intentions during this time, but is incredibly deluded.

I am currently unsure of what to name the AU as I am considering more defining elements. For now, I am tagging it as evil fiddleford au.

(Edit: I’m calling it the Blind Eye Ford Au!)
