Fan art Comic of a young Ford Pines and Fiddleford Mcgucket from Gravity Falls. It is rendered in greyscale and a style similar to the show. Panel 1: Fiddleford is squatted down, reaching into a cardboard box with the text, "Property of F." On its side. He is looking off camera with a smile and he has a paper crown on his head. He has a speech bubble, "Now I know you ain't a big fan of christmas movies." Panel 2: Fiddleford is holding up 3 VHS tapes. His eyes are closed and he has a big grin. The Backupsmore logo is visible on his sweater. He has a speech bubble, "So I was wonderin' if you'd rather fancy watchin' a couple of modern classics." Panel 3: Ford has grabbed a VHS from Fiddleford's hand and is holding it up. He is looking at it intently with glee. His speech bubble reads, "Is this Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings?! It's on VHS??" Below the speech bubble is small text reading, "Released, 1981." Fiddleford's hand is visible in the lower left corner having reached out to give Ford the VHS. His speech bubble reads, "You, Mister "I can speak elvish" Didn't know? Well I'll be!" Panel 4: Ford is looking off to the side with a tiredly bashful expression, his jaw clenched and one arm rubbing the back of his neck. He has two speech bubbles, "I've been busy." "I never even saw it in theater." Panel 5: Fiddleford leans on Ford's shoulder, looking down at him, eyebrows slightly down turned and smile seeming sad. He holds a VHS tape loosly in one hand. Ford is looking down at another VHS tape he holds with both hands. His pupils are massive. The speech bubbles are a conversation, Fiddleford speaks first, "Suppose it goes to show, it's never too late..." "Mmmhh." "Heh, I'll put on the tape." "Hmmmm"
Fanart of a young Ford Pines and young Fiddleford Mcgucket from Gravity Falls. It is rendered in a painterly greyscale with the characters in a style similar to the show. The pair are in the Portal room with unfinished materials and machinery all around them. There are christmas lights weaving between machine parts. They are sitting on a make-shift bench and there are a few empty mugs and glasses around them. Both are looking at a small CRT TV which has been angled up using bricks and scraps of metal. The TV is the primary light source in the image and it has a paper crown hanging off it. Fiddleford is laying on his back, watching the screen upside down, he is smiling contentedly. To his right, Ford is leaning towards the TV. His head is resting on one of his palms and his other hand is holding a glass.

Holiday Classics

Been thinking about Ford watching the 70s Animated Lord of the Rings Movies... (companion comic to this post!)

Tags :
the other two VHS tapes Fidd's is holding are Rankin-Bass' The Hobbit (1977) and Return of the King (1980)! The 70s animated pseudo-trilogy! A lot of people pointed out on my other lotr 'crossover' post that Ford would have seen the 70s movies! And i wont lie i entirely forgot they existed. But now i remember i have so many feelings on it okay. Ford my silly LOTR nerd I dont think he would have seen Bashkis in theaters. far as I can tell it was a VERY limited (likely mostly CA) run in the middle of winter but Rankin-Bass'? Aired on NBC & ABC. He absolutely woulda watched them or rented a VHS later. Which is why he's most excited by Bashki's He's just such a nerd. I need him to nerd out. But also lowkey angst on how his single focus on bill/the portal lead him to neglecting even the small things in life.
