Happy birthday, William!
Such a big boy already!
(Btw this is my entry for @fordtato 's Bill Cipher fanart smash or pass tier list)
I drew Fiddleford by Friday, but, as always, did not have time. But I tried. Well at least I'm glad I drew this guy
"I made this video for Gravity Falls' 7th anniversary, and I wanted to include in it as much stuff and references that only a fan who was there during it would understand. It was a sort of way to preserve in video as many things about the fandom as I could before they were lost to the depths of the internet and forgotten as those who created them moved on. I know I didn't get all the references, but I did my best to get as many of the well known and lesser known ones as I could.โ -HK
Hey! This was initially submitted to me but I messed up so Iโm reposting it. Hereโs what @hkthatgffan, the creator, had to to say about the video itself.
Anyway, I was dying over the video. Iโm an old GF fan and it was like a whole trip through memory lane. I miss how connected and broad the fandom was, but I suppose all good things must unfortunately come to an end. We had our occasional ship wars ofc, but I think most people could agree that the GF fandom was extremely welcoming and creative.
Staniel! ๐
I've always found the end of Journal 3 a bit strange, but one of the specific things is ford throwing his journals into the bottomless pit. It's kinda cool as a concept, but it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
The bottomless pit basically makes it so the fate is unknown of whatever goes in. it could come back, it could end up somewhere else, or it could continue falling for eternity.
ford has attempted to hide his journals before, but they were all found. Gideon even dug up the 2nd one and used it to terrorize the town and even ford's own family.
so I don't think ford would be blind to these outcomes, its happened before why wouldn't it happen again? I think the thought of the journals falling through the pit and wounding up in the hands of someone more powerful than an 8 year old would be enough to keep him up at night. the forever uncertainty would kill him.
then I think, well maybe he would burn them with everything else?
however, I think it's important to remember how much these journals meant to him. despite the memories they carry now, they were once his sole confidant in six years of solitude.
even if ford felt any sort of connection to them now, he probably felt like he had to get rid of them.
he probably felt that his work was a burden to those he cared about. that he would have to make the sacrifice to part with them.
I think it would be a great dilemma for him. So I believe he gave them to someone. I think a lot of people would assume it would be Dipper, but to me what it comes down to is that it would have to be someone ford could fully trust.
it would be someone who could see the value in his work despite his mistakes. someone who could fully understand where his passion came from at the very start.
so i believe he gave them to fiddleford
I think fiddleford has had an interest in Ford's old journals ever since his memory started to recover. he remembers something new each time he reads them. fiddleford would be able to keep them safe, keeping ford's mind at ease knowing someone was keeping an eye on them.
and I think that would be enough for him

I really hope that Stanโs reaction to Ford claiming heโs not a hero was akin to this:
Like, bitch, Stan being a hero does not negate every good thing youโve ever done. There is not a limited amount of Hero Points.
