EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I think a lot of Ford haters would also be Stan haters if we had a book full of his most private and vulnerable thoughts too.

You telling me that if Stan kept a journal he wouldn't have a moment where he thought about his brother for too long, got angry, and wrote some shit about how Ford is just some stuck up academic living easy off his grant money and doesn't care about his family? That after reuniting with Ford after 30 years, he wouldn't furiously write passages about his ungrateful brother gallivanting around the universe having fun adventures, growing out his sideburns, and not showering while he was working tirelessly to bring him home? That at the beginning of summer, before he really got to know his niece and nephew, he wouldn't make some snap judgements about Dipper being kind of a wuss, and express frustration at having to keep these snot nosed kids busy so they don't go snooping around and ruin everything? "Stan wouldn't do that! He loves those kids-" Yeah, he does, but he's also curmudgeonly and closed off and wouldn't know them yet. He'd be have first impressions (like everyone does) and write down those PRIVATE thoughts and frustrations in a PRIVATE journal.

"I just don't like Ford because he's an asshole-" SO IS STAN. STAN IS A MASSIVE ASSHOLE. Most of the time his assholery gets played off for laughs, and he either gets his comeuppance or learns a lesson by the end of the episode. Plus we have the whole series to get to know his better qualities and be endeared to him. Ford has much fewer episodes to work with, he's beefing with a character we already like, he only gets to learn his lesson at the end of the series, and we have a book full of his private thoughts that he doesn't say to anyone's face.

Ford is at a huge disadvantage here. I've noticed a trend in the fandom of Ford's flaws being amplified and exaggerated while Stan's get smoothed over. Neither of them are nice people. They've both done some fucked up shit. If you can look past that in Stan to see his good qualities and how far he's willing to go for the people he cares about, you should be able to do that for Ford too.

I want to see how much of tumblr is ace

Pls reblog if u vote :)

So, I had a dream about how Ford decided to borrow my blue turtleneck. I thought I needed to draw this

After the science fair...

Stan rejoices at Ford's success. I really like the fact that Stanley is so genuinely happy for his twin.

Tries to concentrate on reading but fails...

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

I really hope that Stan’s reaction to Ford claiming he’s not a hero was akin to this:

Like, bitch, Stan being a hero does not negate every good thing you’ve ever done. There is not a limited amount of Hero Points.

The amount of "joking" hostility people display in the tags for their gravity falls posts is impressive.

You're scrolling through and you catch the OP policing interpretations (usually) billford, as if people where mis-tagging left and right. Even on posts with very little engagement.

The only reason I ever had to do that, was people mis-tagging my art as fiddauthor, even when I wrote in big bold red letters that wasn't my intention.

Fiddauthor is so popular people treat it like the default, but billford? I dunno people are pretty shit to anyone who likes Bill let alone ships him with anyone. I doubt there are many people going around assuming stuff is billford especially given the casual hostility.

It seems a little overkill?

Don't worry, with the amount of rudness, joking or otherwise, I wasn't about to dare commit the crime of interpreting x as y, even as a joke heavens forbid.

Sod off. Its unnecessary and makes others feel unwelcom or wrong.

I understand not liking something but this behaviour feels like it justifies being an asshole on the basis of a difference of opinions.

Point is shipping anything other than fiddauthor in this fandom fuxking sucks. You have people assuming your stuff is fiddauthor unless specified otherwise, and then you have people telling others (With much more hostility) that you shouldn't interpret this as billford. On a post with less than a 200 notes where no one was even doing that in the first place.

These are popular artists who's stuff I see everywhere.

They're not doing anything wrong by specifying dislike or discomfort. But their collective attitude about it, coupled with their popularity, creates an impression of superiority and high-horsedness.

As well as this wierd "correct vs false" idea even though its more "popular vs unpopular"
