nobody fucking understands stanford pines like i do
#look i know i post abt stanley like 6000 times a day but you don't know how much i think abt ford#okay this is a slightly innaccurate statement i have seen some great art and writing that gets ford right#some of you though.#look i think people can get a little caught up in how the show introduces ford from dipper's persoective specifically#like actually how the stans both are portrayed in the show as it goes on is basically a direct correlation to how the kids perceive them#BUT ANYWAY. like guys#look at the layers#ford's ego and his loneliness and his anger!! are all so so interesting to me#the way stan and ford were raised was Insane and so so important to both of their characters. and people forget that core of ford. at times#and especially the Differences in stan and ford's experiences growing up#and the mindsets that each of them developed because of it#and also this may be an unpopular opinion but i don't think the multiverse was always horrible i think it was wild and varied#and i think. that even when it was really good. when ford was given chances to settle. he didn't take them#he was too deep in his self-imposed mission. he was too caught up in the idea of being a hero. and that's another thing i think abt#re: the stan o' war and the bros finale. i think that ford finally gets a chance to look at the world and find what he loves again#after 30 years of denying himself simple exploration and his drive for curiosity. always focused on cthe bigger picture'#(and i have a whole thing abt ford and the 'greater good' and the arc he goes through to force himself to finally acknowledge the small.#family#anyway.#it's fine i'm being reductive in these tags a bit but FORD.
