fiddleford (stargazing with ford like 30 years prior): ..hey, stanford? ford:yes, fidds? fiddleford:have ya ever thought of.. y'know, settlin' down? startin' a family? ford:oh, dont be silly! i dont need a wife to be content with my life. i simply wish to focus on my research. fiddleford:..riight. fiddleford:(..a.. wife..?)
stan (on the stan o' war II at some point): hey ford. ford: yes, stanley? stan:you got yourself a boyfriend or anything yet? ford: ford:did. did you mean girlfriend? stan: sixer. did it sound like i said girlfriend? ford:...i mean- stan:you had a FRAMED PHOTO of nikola tesla on your desk in your secret little study area. i dont want to hear it. ford:...okay, fair enough. and uh... no, i have not yet found a romantic partne- stan:haha no bitches. or bastards. ford: >:( stan: :)
the vocal stims have been hitting different lately which lead me to thinking about what stanley or stanfords vocal stims would be. stan would probably just scream or make weird animal noises. nobody really knows where those came from. that or he would just randomly recite advertisements from the 80's at insane speed. stanford. he just imitates different noises he heard from other dimensions. or speaks in those other languages.
here’s another fiddleford but with this color palette
i think it’s paranoia for both of them, just for different reasons.
thinking of sea grunks again theyre both pathological liars (thanks caryn) so whenever they start talking to other people in the places they go the lying just ricochets between the two of them and by the end theyve both created a completely fabricated story about where they're from, where they're going, who they are, and literally everything. and its never the same story. afterwards they're just like "....what even was that??" and go on like nothing happened.
chat do we want a sad/maybe inconclusive(?) ending or a kinda maybe happy(?) one
going to attempt a fiddleford animation.
whether or not it happens. i don’t know. but ill try maybe
stan sometimes has to get up at ungodly hours of the night in order to help soos with a simple problem. ford sometimes has to have uncomfortable conversations with tate in order to explain himself and apologize. but thats not what matters.
what matters is that theyre better than filbrick
and the fact that they broke the cycle.
fiddtober day 15. honestly not very fidd and also a complete style switchup but. why not.
old man mcgucket is the loneliest person in all of gravity falls. and it’s not by choice. i mean, he’s always walking around town and trying to talk to people, but who wants to talk to that crazy guy? he’s creepy. not even his own son wants to talk to him. people just avoid him. 30 whole years and nobody ever reached out to help him. he was probably too far gone in the first place, honestly.
with nobody to talk to, it’s not really a surprise that he builds those weird robots to cope. it’s the only way people will give him any attention, recognition, or to just look in his direction at all. nobody cares about his other inventions, but those robots get him put in the news all of the time. not to mention the fact that people only started paying attention to him after he saved us during weirdmageddon. even then, most people care more about what stan and ford did. maybe he should’ve tried harder.
now that he’s regained his mind and ford is with him, people treat him more like a human. but i think they still talk behind his back. only reason they don’t say it to his face anymore is because they’re scared of ford. ford is a hero. you don’t want to get on his bad side. just put up with the guy he’s with, even if you don’t want to. nobody really wants to. the only reason he even got on the path to recovery is because dipper thought he was the author. dipper didn’t even plan to help him at all. he just wanted to look for more information.
hes lucky to have ever been given a second chance.
if it weren’t for ford he would still be a nobody.
it probably would’ve been better that way
then everyone could continue to ignore him.
like they always have.
you think they were banging on the down low though
