Rewatching Gravity Falls

PTSD & Ford's Questionable Choices Regarding Summer Attire

Thanks to @callipraxia for inspiring me to write this.

I know I've joked about how silly it is that Ford wears a turtleneck and trenchcoat in the humid Oregon summer, but as someone who lives in the humid midwest and has dermatillomania, I 100% understand.

Perhaps most important is the fact that he's basically cosplaying as Carl Sagan, which I've mentioned before, but I think I finally found the words to explain why it's so meaningful. I know that modeling my own outfits after my idols provides a huge measure of emotional safety and that is something that Ford would absolutely need after coming back to his old house.

That house is ground zero for his biggest failures. That house is where he met Bill, where he was manipulated, where he slaved on working a damned portal for a demon. He stayed awake for days upon days in that house, bleeding from his eye, unsure if the whispers were only in his head or leaking from the dimension beyond. His brother was branded in that house and it was his fault. Fiddleford lost his mind in that house and it was his fault. The world was doomed in that house and it was his fault.

I'm particularly concerned because Ford spent a lot of time alone in the lab with the portal, just him and his thoughts. He was so close to fixing everything once and for all and what right did Stan have to rob him of his heroic moment? Manually dismantling the portal feels a whole lot less heroic than storming the nightmare realm with a massive gun and it does very little to distract him from how angry and tired he is; he's angry about being tired and he's tired of being angry.

I personally headcanon that Ford is absolutely covered in tattoos and scars under those long sleeve layers. He's been through hell and his body reflects that. But those marks are incredibly personal; a lot of them represent pain and failures and this is the author of "TRUST NO ONE" we're talking about. Vulnerability gets people killed in his experience and there's a reason he's still alive. He has to stay alive to fix his mistakes.

man.

They're the same picture.

At University Fidds was a diligent big brother. :)

Ford is 18-19 here and fidd is 23-24.

I never cease to be inspired by the «Flat Dreams» fan fiction. Here, I sketched the moment when Bill won at Globnar , received the Desire of Time. And he wished limitless knowledge and strength.

Here we are, GO day, 30 minutes before Good Omens 2 airs finally! Grabs your snacks, get comfy and Enjoy the show! I'll see you all on the other side 😉

I was the last of a fun countdown, you can check out the amazing @lilpy 's offering from yesterday!

Happy Watching!

friendly reminder that it is highly likely that Ford would've sacrificed himself in a blaze of glory in his attempt to destroy Bill had the portal been shut down. like you really think he would've gotten out of destroying Bill alive, when he would still have Bill's friends to contend with? I don't think so. and that's if the explosion from the initial shot wouldn't do him in first. there's even the chance that he'd miss his shot and Bill would murder him right then and there too. just something to think about.

We all know such peyring as BillDipp, MaBill and BillFord. And so I decided to place all these three peyring in one arte. And I also thought, how would Bill actually react to such abundant attention from the Pines family? Hee hee ...

Of course, there are other spikes with this cute triangle, but I took the most popular ones. I am generally surprised how there is no peyring with Stan!
