#got him an axolotll because it remind him of his sideburns

[rochan]

Bill fumbling Ford and Ford fumbling Mcgucket is the realest way to end a love triangle

[abyssalzones]

saw your gravity falls post a while ago and thought of this.

tldr, fiddleford got ford a pet axolotl because its frills reminded him of his sideburns (and named it frilliam), but since bill detested it so much he set it free. probably fucked up an ecosystem but that’s not important

anyway.

posted about this here already. one of the biggest highlights of the website's extra pages for sure

I hate that triangle.

Fiddleford got Ford a pet axolotl because it reminded him of his sideburns, and a horrifying squash with a human face and emotions because it reminded him of his nose(?).

And Ford threw BOTH of them away!

you get me! ford is so :/ to fiddleford.

1. fids made him a laptop compatible with his 12 fingers — ford dismisses it because he thinks journaling is better

2. fids handmade him a snowglobe, took multiple times to make the perfect set of 12-fingered mittens, forgot a gift for his wife — ford never even thought to get him a gift

3. got him a cute axolotl bc it’s frills reminded him of ford’s sideburns — ford listens to the evil corn chip and releases frilliam to the wild

4. fids spent 3 days awake to right smth in the hopes that it would save ford from his obsession and make ford a multi millionaire — ford gets mad and compares fids to thomas edison

5. left his wife and kid to help ford — ford just doesn’t appreciate him enough

6. fiddleford goes crazy and marries a raccoon bc ford’s stubborn ass wouldn’t listen to him

at least we know that fiddleford love language is gift giving 🥹

OMG SO SORRY I'M ANSWERING THIS ASK SO LATE (been busy).

To be fair, it's not like Stanford is straight EVIL. Unfortunately he just let his pride get the best of him (something something hubris + wanted to "become someone") + Bill's manipulation didn't help AT ALL (I know using "therapy talk" is kind of cringy, but Bill's behaviour reminded me a bit of lovebombing and as much as I like the ship and insert toxic yaoi joke here let's not forget Stanford is the victim here).

He also did some nice things for Fidds, for example trying to help him when he got traumatized + tried to cheer him up after the "Christmas incident".

But yeah, the way Fidds got treated because Stanford's pride got the best of him + Bill manipulation and how badly Fidds coped with it (let's be fair, Stanford had an huge hand in ruining his life but he didn't tell Fidds to build the memory gun - ACTUALLY he did tell him how much of a caca idea that was - + make a cult) is sad to read and watch and I do admit when I read through everything my first reactions were "COME ON MAN". He did deserve better.

Considering what we saw in the series + what we read in the book I feel like that no matter how much Stanford works on himself and how much Fidds (+ other people who Stanford hurt) tells him he forgives him, he'll probably carry a big load of guilt until the day he dies. (that's why I admit I'm not a fan of the joke "Take all of Stanley/Fidds pain and give him to Ford" like... isn't being physically and mentally tortured in the past, being prisoner in a portal, believing he lost his brother forever and having to carry the guilt of his past actions "punishment" enough?).

On a lighter note, the fact Fidds love language is gift giving is sooooo cute!! <3 (that and the fact he will build you anything for just the "price" of hanging out with him).

Thank you for the ask :D
