#autistic ford

The funniest thing I think about Billford and their obvious breakup, is that I don't think Ford knew they were dating.

I don't think he was picking up what Bill was putting down, honestly I think he looked at what Bill was putting down and asked, "did you drop this?" And Bill fell more in love with how polite Ford is.

Cause the show and the book read like Bill was heavily invested in their relationship but Ford's autistic ass didn't even fucking realise Bill liked him at all like that.

And it's not that I think Ford didn't like Bill that way, I think Ford was also in love with Bill but Ford's autistic ass thought process was, "this is just the feeling everyone feels when they're passionate about a new interest! That's it, Bill is just part of my new interest, obviously I want to be around him all the time and talk to him all the time and hold his hand and hear about his day and tell him about mine and solve complex equations with him and share all my dreams and aspirations with him and kiss him!" And then he just went about the rest of his life thinking nothing more about it.

So while Bill had the full understanding that they were in a loving romantic relationship, Ford just thought they were like lab partners or something and that he was just strangely happy about it

EDIT: Now in color!

one of Stan’s attempts at playing matchmaker, once again he underestimated just how oblivious his twin is willing to be. Stan probably tells him later what was going on and Ford’s just like “don’t be silly men can’t date!”

text: “oh?” ”well well well, fiddlenerd, are you sweet on my brother?” “Stan! I, um, I mean-“ ”don’t worry fiddlesticks, I like ya, so I’m willing to help ya out here! Just do as I say…” “hey ford you got a minute?” “Oh fidds, hello! What do you need?” “you’ve got this!” “Ok!” “ford are you a cat?” “What-“ “cause I’d like to spend all nine of my lives with you!” “Oh fidds, you know, i feel the same way!” “you are my one and only best friend after all, I couldn’t imagine spending my time researching with anyone else!” “oh yes, friends, totally, hahaha!” “dios mio ford wtf”

Hi guys

[introvert-slushie]

Currently thinking about how much Ford tries to hide his hands a lot when he can…behind his back with this stance. Due to how often he’s been bullied for it.

And also, how Mabel is one of the ones who Ford feels happy about showing his hands to because she thought they were cool looking upon first shaking his hand, instead of him being judged for his six fingers.

[ID: Gravity Falls screenshots. The first three are of Ford with his hands crossed behind his back. The last two are of him shaking hands with Mabel, and letting her paint a turkey on his hand. He's smiling in both. End ID.]

Mabel is a character that I adore with all my heart, so it was wonderful to hear Alex discuss the nuances of her characterisation with such open fondness:

“There’s just a…uniqueness to what Kristen does. There’s a sincerity. (…) When she becomes Mabel, and she is in love with the latest guy who walked in her field of view, she really is in love, like, she’s not making fun of her own character. She believes what her own character believes, and she embodies her character.”

…

“I genuinely believe that in terms of intelligence, Dipper, Mabel, Stan and Ford are basically equal, they have different types of intelligence. In terms of moral alignment, Dipper, Mabel, Stan and Ford, for the most part, are relatively equal, though I would say that of that group, Mabel is absolutely the purest of heart. She has the least to learn, because her way of looking at life, with love and sincerity and with an unashamed fearlessness about who she is, is probably the most right, and that's why we beat her up the least, because there's not a lot that she needs to change.”

Pay up, Stan

More quotes from my day as gravity falls incorrect quotes:

Bill Cipher: I am autism, I am in your children.

Bill Cipher, now pointing to Ford: And also you specifically!

Ford: Fuck you!

Bill: Look me in the eye when you say that!

Ford: Don't tell me what to fucking do!

Ford doing autistic shit that I do Let me know if you want a colored version.

Maybe you could call it Reunited Stans AU?

Also, how do you think the gravity falls locals would see those two? I think Ford would end up getting out of the cabin much more because of Stan. Maybe you could draw them going to town for drinks? I don't know.

I like to think the town locals would either be horrified of them and talk about them as cryptids in their own right, or just be annoyed by their shenanigans

I just remembered they’d be in their early 20s when coming to Gravity Falls haha

But yes they’d definitely start out as “those weird twins that live in the forest” but once Stanley starts feeling like he’s actually safe from that old life Ford pulled him out of, he starts going into the town, which then leads to him dragging Ford along

It’s probably a mix of both, where the town sees them as those odd guys and then also get annoyed by what they do, but also I think they’d think of them as a new endearing staple of their town once the whole “newcomer / stranger” title fades from them. It’d be sort of the same way Stan is in canon with the Mystery Shack, where even though people find him annoying, they also always come to the events.

Also Stanley 😭 your brother does not wanna be in that bar, let him go do nerd things

Yeah, yeah, Ford dated the triangle. But now can we talk about how Ford is now openly loving and caring (at least through his notes and journals) and letting his family into his supernatural shenanigans WHILE these bunch of wacky buffoons still manage to let him have his personal space and spend hours in his room without being disturbed???

LIKE he's okay with them entering the room whenever they please when he's not there and even reading his journals and notes (cause he expresses himself better through his writing) and they're all SO welcoming when he comes upstairs after hours locked in his room having a silent meltdown???

Ford will show no reaction besides an awkward smile and just being there but will write about how his family is his universe and how he actually loves doing cute stuff with Mabel like dressing the same and I CAN'T-

Autistic old man has rediscovered unconditional love and respected boundaries. Ford is living the dream.
