Ok That's It I'm Making A Gravity Falls Sideblog I Can't Keep Doing This Without One

ok that's it I'm making a gravity falls sideblog I can't keep doing this without one

sketches of the boys i did for an animation im planning

tragically college!Fiddleford looks like if Shaggy was forced to do college good

they smoochin

as much as I adore NoPortal!Ford who stays with Stan and Fidds, within canon, the 30 years Ford spends on his own are fucking crucial to his character development. in that he gets all the weirdness and adventure he could possibly ask for- and he figures out he prefers home. it shows him a much, much crueler world and makes him appreciate kindness

given how hardheaded and stubborn he is, only experience could make him grow the fuck up and realize there's so much more to life than chasing ideas

both Ford and Stan are immature just in wildly different ways, and we see them both grow up during their time on the show. but none of that would've been possible without the consequences of their actions wearing them down for three decades

Okay, I get what Tim sees in him now actually. They're both convinced they're the normal one, and somehow they're both wrong

yes yes billford is like huffing toxins that make you see pretty colors but will kill you quickly, while fiddauthor is the rush of your hands touching because both of you reach out at the same time

im going fucking Crazy about the themes of autonomy and consent and need vs want in the billfiddauthor situation.

like. bill does NOT care about fords autonomy. for a second. he gets one yes and after that fords free will is out of the question. he will cage him torture him use him puppet him until he remembers that.

but fiddleford has every chance and justification to ignore his autonomy. he never does. he can wipe his mind he can pin him down he can stop him. he never considers it. its not a thought in his mind..

and bill and ford need each other, for a time. bill needs him to get out and ford needs his affection. and it Fucking Kills Them. bills absence feels like physical pain to ford. fords escape feels like an attack to bill.

but.. ford and fiddleford want each other.they want each others company and touch and kindness. they dont need to need each other. they cant want each other and its ok.
