so I don't buy into the whole "Ford was a uniquely terrible person who ruined everyone else's lives because he was selfish" take that I see from time to time (thankfully getting less frequent) but I also think that if I try to write something from Ford's POV it's going to sound like I buy into that because of how Ford feels about things. I get the vibe that he largely repressed any guilt or regret he felt for, well, pretty much most of his life, and when he starts acknowledging some of the mistakes he did make and allows himself to feel that guilt it's going to overwhelm him at first. he's going to be biased

#I wholeheartedly believe that Fidds also apologized to Ford during their talk after Weirdmageddon #and explained how he had just as much an active role in his situation as Ford did #and Ford just... didn't write it down #he and Stan switch from getting stuck in a loop of blaming each other to stuck in a loop of blaming themselves #n e ways out of the mystery trio they all made terrible decisions and they all deserve credit for them #I hate those 'Ford ruined McGucket's life on his own' takes especially because it usually comes hand in hand with the #soft boy twinkification of Fidds. like. he CHOSE to come to gravity falls. Ford didn't force him #let McGucket have agency over his own actions dammit #let them all have their own agency while also acknowledging the ways in which they were dragged into things beyond their control #anyway #ford pines #I should see if I can actually go write smth now maybe
