Fiddleford Hadron McGucket is truly the character ever. He's a mad engineer. He just wants to play baseball with his son. He's a cult leader. He used to live in a dumpster. He is the smartest man in the world. He is married to a raccoon. He grew up on a hog farm in Tennessee. He had a homoerotic relationship with his science partner. He's divorced. He has eaten a baby dinosaur. He's the president of the United States.

Will you tell us the secrets of what fanon you disagree with so much?? Regardless of your answer, i love your blog!! You got Good Content

*points at the fanon characterization of Ford as a whole with much distaste*

Fanon Ford is a selfish arrogant narcissist who manipulates Dipper to do what he wants because he idolizes him, while wholly neglecting or sometimes even outright hating Mabel for being like Stan, only cares if he gets the glory, personally kicked Stan out onto the streets and hates his guts, and is simultaneously a big dumb idiot who can't tell when someone is lying. This made up version of Ford the fans were too blind and stupid to see that they were creating can go die in a fire for all I care.

Canon Ford is none of that. He is an autistic coded and trauma riddled man that is trying his best to do the right thing. He is not manipulative, instead, he was manipulated himself. He cares about Mabel as much as he does Dipper, the only reason he doesn't interact with her as much is the fact that he struggles with socializing with people he can't already relate to. He knows what he's made of, being confident he can do something isn't arrogance. Being proud of his abilities isn't arrogance. Conversely, his self worth is through the friggin floor. He doesn't feel like he's worth it if he's not proving himself. He can't simply exist, he has to do big things or else he's nothing. Some arrogance that is. Ford does love Stan, he just isn't very happy with him. Like can he not be angry with his brother without being stomped in the ground for five seconds? It's as if someone has to be perfectly happy with their sibling all the time, even when they did things that DIRECTLY HURT THEM and did not even APOLOGIZE for it ONCE. (Sorry, hit a sore spot there, let's move on) Ford was manipulated and abused by Bill and calling him stupid for it is blatant victim blaming.

anyway, I could go on, but Fanon Ford is my enemy that I have sworn to fight against every day in this dang fandom. I have taken a break from actively fighting this characterization for my own mental health (because this fandom is illiterate and also cruel I swear to the Axolotl), but it is a fight I take in my own mind every time I see any "hot" take about Ford that is more likely an ice cold take than anything because of how friggin often those kinds of mischaracterizing things are said. Anyway, that has been my answer on 'fanon'. Thank you for the question and for the compliment.

thinking again abt how ford does rly well with solitude and consuming himself with work as a distraction, so it's rly sweet to see him write how much seeing fiddleford just brought so much joy to his life just by existing with him.

a man who hasn't felt the presence of anyone else in years being overjoyed by being able to share the work he loves with someone he cares so much about gets to me okay.

AU in which Stan is an important crime boss.

my first post on here!!!! charles edit!!!

I draw triangles in any condition

Ещё немного скетчей по фиддавторам (их много не бывает)

Rewatching gravity falls

How THE FUCK was Stan painted as the bad guy

FORD WAS AN ENTITLED LITTLE BABY

Yes what Stan did was rash

But maybe that wouldn't have happened

IF STAN'S PARENTS DIDN'T RAISE A LITTLE NARCISSIST

So Ford gets him KICKED OUT

I will forever be on Stan's side

And it makes me mad that Dipper just automatically assumed Stan was a dangerous criminal trying to kill everyone

Tries to concentrate on reading but fails...

I finally managed to draw something complete. I like this evening atmosphere.

Seductive coquette
