Note: they aren’t actually married, or in a relationship at all. This was made before I thought I would continue with the AU at all, so I wasn’t very precise with my wording!

So... what if I took those AUs where Bill and Ford get married, only I kept the dynamic just as toxic as their canon relationship? Introducing: Domesticated Ford! A terrible universe where Ford knows he's been manipulated and doesn't care, and Bill could never love a creature so beneath him as anything more than a cute little pet. Other Fords hate this one

I could NOT get this out of my head for the life of me

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

[renewashere]

my my what strong opinions you have there ford!

Mandatory fiddleford posting of the day

When he's not around Ford, Stan acts a lot more like his canon personality. He's found that being too gruff or irritated around Ford makes him nervous, though, so he hides it as best he can

[domesticatedford]

OHHHHHH MY BOY!!!

He is frolicking free among the other Fords!! There are A LOT of them there, I hope he doesn't get trampled!!

I spent three months working on this drawing: two months on the first two parts and one month on the extras. It was a real challenge, but I had fun trying to match the original Gravity Falls style. Here's a little behind-the-scenes!

The plan was to post it by the end of December, then by the first two weeks of January, and well... It's already February 3rd. I would have posted it much earlier, I was really eager to share it, but I wanted to add the extra drawings!

Mental note: never do giant drawings again because they lose quality when compressed 😞oh man

i feel so proud <3

Anyways, i'm still learing English, so please tell me if i say something weird or incorrect.

(if it's this, i going to die of shame).

I love this picture!! It really captures the intense claustrophobia of The Box

Art of D for belongs to @jellyskink for the chapter The Box of our crossover fic It's Safer in the Dungeon.

It's Safer in the Dungeon - Chapter 6 - alexBDcollie, jellyskink, WhenAllTheEyesOpen (PeacefulUnderneath) - Gravity Falls [Archive of Our Own]

Evil Ford!! This is specifically if he were to take Bill’s offer to join him during Weirdmageddon :)

His design is based around themes of cryptids (mothman specifically), eldritch horror, cults, and evil science and I’m very happy with the result! Under the cut will have the WIPS + the designs with my notes and choices (thank you to dadskall for being my brainstorming buddies on this hehe)

Henry Justice Ford is a curiously under-remembered artist of the golden age. He is most known today, if he is known at all, for his work illustrating all twelve volumes of Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books (fun fact: despite being known as “Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books,” Lang’s wife Leonora Blanche Lang selected and translated all but the first in the series, The Blue Fairy Book).

This is a fairly thorough collection of Ford’s work from Dover Books: Maidens, Monsters & Heroes (2010). Ford’s ink work is bold and intricate, his color work luminous and often combining surprising colors (perhaps a side-effect of the reproduction process). I tend to gravitate more toward his inks, perhaps because there are more monsters there (though that Chimera is pretty fab). Ford, of all of these artists, seems to have delighted in monsters. Especially reptilian ones, though he has talent for grinning demons and goblins, too. So many of his monsters are downright strange, too — look at that Scylla! WTF?! He has quite an array of giants, as well. Longtime readers may recall my enthusiasm for his Arabian cyclops, which featured on the cover of A Natural History of Unnatural Things.

Unlike the other artists I’m looking at this week, Ford has a direct influence on Dungeons & Dragons. That affable looking giant with the club is the clear inspiration for Trampier’s cloud giant illustration in the Monster Manual and I think generally you can see a lot of resonance between the two artists, particularly in terms of framing and posing. Tramp’s pseudodragon seems to have a lot of Ford in it.

A tremendous artist, flipping through any of his collections is like looking through a Victorian Monster Manual.

Yessss this one is so cool!! ✨️

Realized I didn’t share my contest entry for @domesticatedford here
