FIDDLEFORD IS GREAT

[the-shy-lonely-weirdo]

Every waking moment I hear McGucket screaming BOATIN’ AT NIGHT, BOATIN’ AT NIGHT in the back of my mind.

Maybe this will release me from my curse. Or make it worse.

Happy Fiddleford/Fiddauthor Friday!

Rip fiddleauthor you would’ve loved the barenaked ladies

[stompandhollar]

it is objectively hilarious that Ford’s healthy ex-relationship also started a cult.

my very important and well-thought-out thoughts about the shipping options within the Bill-Stanford-Fiddleford-Stanley love square

Billford - The classic. Toxic old man yaoi. Pre-portal Stanford is well and truly completely religiously obsessed with Bill, who is just using him like a mildly interesting pawn. The second Ford goes flying through that portal, Bill realizes how badly he fucked up and spends 30 years obsessed with getting his situationship back but by this point Ford is OVER it. Basically they flip-flop who is maniacally unhealthily obsessed with the other at any given time and it's a horrible experience for everyone involved

Fiddauthor/Ford^2 (pre-portal) - Toxic young man yuri. Fiddleford is desperately pining for Ford but Ford is too up his own ass (and obsessed with Bill) to notice.

Fiddauthor/Ford^2 (post-portal) - The happiest slash healthiest (?) option on the list. Ford has gotten his shit together and his head out of his ass, as well as several dozen reality checks and a fist to the face (he needed... all of that to fix him). Fiddleford has more or less recovered from wiping his own memory due to the Horrors he experiences while working with Ford. They are able to happily settle down and build giant robots to harass small children with in their free time.

Fiddlestan - I will accept this ship ONLY with identity and memory-wiping angst. I want neither of them to be happy about it. Fiddleford either thinks Ford is finally returning his feelings and refuses to examine "why the hell is he acting so different (nice)" further, or he's well aware that this man who looks like Ford isn't Ford, and is willing to turn a blind eye just to Feel Something. Stan thinks Fidds is his brother's boyfriend and he has to maintain this relationship for the dude's sake, and also this is the first true affection he's experienced in a decade so he's keeping his mouth shut about the identity stuff just, again, to Feel Something.

Billfiddlesford - funny as hell and i refuse to accept any other ship name. Everyone is having a great terrible fun time except they're all having a wildly confusing time. Bill is fully aware of Fiddleford's feelings for Ford and is trying to manipulate Fidds with them. It's working but only kinda because Bill is starting to experience this strange emotion called Jealousy. Ford is caught in the crossfire of being obsessed with this triangle thing but the triangle is lowkey putting their portal-building plans on hold just so he can figure out what is WRONG with these two scientist freaks. And himself. Ford kisses Fiddleford first and Fiddleford's first reaction is "Bill why did you do that" then he has to explain why his first instinct, upon being kissed by Ford, is to assume Ford is being possessed by his Triangle Muse God. I dearly love this ship because there is no possible way it could happen in canon but I need to throw these three in a room together and shake it just to see what would happen.

Second chapter of “Dear Mabel, I Miss You” is up! Please know that this is a companion prequel fic to the comics, so a lot of the unaddressed details in the comics are going to be answered here. Thank you for reading and interacting!

[libby-is-fizzy]

Still internally laughing about the first part of The Book of Bill early years page just after Bill says he "was loved by everyone" where he's like "I don't have a tragic backstory lmao imagine looking for depth in a triangle" a couple paragraphs before the drop of his tragic backstory. Alex Hirsch knew EXACTLY what he was doing with this book and I massively respect him for it.

Oh shit I never showed you this

Okay yeah have fun

[scurvyboy]

i love your art i love how u draw fiddleford with a receding hairline 🙏🙏 u are braver than many artists (me)

thank you very much, i also love how i draw him with a receding hairline. i'm just of the opinion that all media should include male pattern baldness, and all artists should learn how to draw it.

anyway here's my artist rendition of what goes on in my head when i draw fiddleford mcgucket

[huginsmemory]

Reading journal 3 again is a reminder that... Well Ford is kinda an asshole towards Fiddleford. It's not just Stan. Like he's so focused on himself and his project and his ambition that anyone/thing else blurs out (him disregarding Fiddleford's nervousness around the gremloblin because he wants to sketch it, and when it goes sideways, him talking about the safety of the project parts BEFORE how Fiddleford was doing in his journal, multiple times. Priorities much?) and he's demeaning towards Fiddleford's own project (which ends up being wayyyy more important then Ford's discoveries)... Like damn Fiddleford, u left ur wife and young son for this guy?

i was meant to make this into an actually polished piece but i started lineart and felt genuine misery. so have this as compensation for what could have been.
