#it just doesn't line up. unless.... [connects red string to bisexual flag]

re ur tags on the characters that's actions dont make sense unless their gay post i think ab that so often cause genuinely why was he doing all that if he didnt at the least love ford more then his wife if not Romantically Specifically...one could say its out of fear to leave the project or whatever but thats just not compelling At All and just doesnt line up as much. fiddlefords such a crazy character to me i think so much about his motives tldr ur very right

literally exactly. Literally exactly this. I think about it all the time like why would he:

move his ass all the way to nowhereville oregon at the drop of a hat while seemingly invested in starting his computing business (with a toddler/very young child in the house)

Not wear his wedding ring. at all. during this timespan

only visit for christmas and not bring his wife a gift and then just come back immediately????

make him a custom laptop with extra keys for his extra fingers. make him a snowglobe with a miniature of their lab inside as potential future merchandise for their business ventures together. knit him custom six-fingered gloves because god knows ford isn't going to bother keeping warm on his own. buy him a pet axolotl because its gill stalks reminded him of his sideburns. Please god can anyone hear me

most pressingly of all: choose to stay with ford. I think people forget about this one a lot in discussing ford and fiddleford's dynamic but not only was it fiddleford's decision entirely to stay and work on the portal alongside ford after multiple traumatic events but he did everything in his power to ensure he Could stay (irt the memory gun). people are welcome to disagree but based on what we know I really doubt it could be owed to ford pressuring him. it wasn't about the portal it was him. he wanted to stay to support Ford.

basically I think he cares about ford to an insanely devoted degree which drives me to madness on a daily basis (AND IT'S RECIPROCAL. in case anyone was thinking about reblogging to talk about how unappreciative ford was. I could make a whole powerpoint about ford's feelings for fiddleford but I'm choosing to spare you guys)
