Headcanon That Whenever Ford Would Go Out Into The Forest During His Time Researching In Gravity Falls

Dr Pine got a standing ovation and Ford.... may have gotten escorted out (again)

Lyrics are by @greenbunny7!! Check out the first and second verse here!

Okay I know it's been a week but here it is! I had this storyboarded for a while but kept putting off cleaning it up (the random art block struck...) Sorry this took a while to get out!!

This was legitimately one of the most fun things I've animated, I'm so glad this was spawned because of this silly au.

Also yes I'm working on the beat for this, but I might not post it for a while because I wanna refine it a lot. I've never composed a beat for anything before so uh yeah. Probably going to post some other things in the meanwhile though!

GKSJDKDJS THIS ACTUALLY KILLED ME HELPP I GOTTA ANIMATE TJIS NOW DONT I

when I'm resurrected (and when I'm done with the rap battle) I may or may not make an animatic of this if you're alright with me using your audio (with credits of course!!)

@babyblankyerror @aroace-get-out-of-my-face @greenbunny7

i did it. fords rant. this has taken me a while to actually upload bc tumblr is silly sometimes. but i did it. with my midtier ford impression (stan is way easier to do and a lot better). i will follow up on my promise to do the lyrics for the rap battle, maybe tonight maybe tomorrow. who knows? not this gal.

I'm a lil unfamiliar with your puppet AU but there is something wholesome to me about how Ford is mad at the puppet and not Stan, or at least acts that way. He doesn't say "Stan stop being an idiot and using that puppet. I know it's you!"

No, it's more like "Stanley, stay out of this. This is between me and that muppet ass felt skin!"

Like??? He's playing along and it's so damn cute!!

I've done a lot of art for it but it's not my au!! The original concept was by @babyblankyerror and it was expanded by @aroace-get-out-of-my-face. (Both their posts on this au are an absolute delight to go through if you'd like to catch up!)

This au is so perfectly wholesome and silly, and it's just completely taken over my brain space (and subsequently what I draw). I mean Ford was so caught up in building a literal hate room for a puppet that he never even summoned Bill in this au, which is just so funny to me

The fact is that Ford genuinely loves Poppy Avenue (the show that Science Time with Dr Pine is on) but it's that damn puppet that gets him. He just cannot STAND Dr Pine, yet holds no resentment towards Stan for it. They're actually pretty close in this au if anything, which makes the dichotomy of Ford's rage even more hilarious.

I mean Ford is obviously aware of the fact that Stan is pupetting (is that a word??) Dr Pine, but his rage is always entirely directed towards the puppet.

And I imagine that when Ford recognizes Stan's voice when he's pupetting (???) other puppets on Poppy Avenue he's all "aw my brother," but as soon as Dr Pine comes on, he's immediately swearing madly at the screen or just barely containing his rage.

Animate you say….

^ the link to the post!! oho it is ON, THE RAP BATTLE'S FINALLY HAPPENING

I'll make these verse by verse then clean them up a bit and put them together when we have them all! (second verse!) (third verse here)

@aroace-get-out-of-my-face you started this!! Ford is getting destroyed by a puppet in front of a live audience and you're laughing!!

also Hm I don't think Dr. Pinius Pine is moving quite like puppet as I'd like him to be (maybe this is a sign I should finally go watch The Muppets 2011...) (for research purposes)

not me speedrunning to finish this drawing for ch 7 before @matcha-milkies posts a new chapter. definitely not me haha

i wanted to do something similar to a chapter cover, idk i just think those look neat. ironic how its probably hard to read the actual chapter name in the image lol

"He once spent half an hour discussing his moth collection in extensive detail. This is a physics class, the lesson was about momentum." 5/5 I learned a lot about moths that semester.

"He walks into class everyday with two decanters of coffee and still has to occasionally leave in the middle of class to get it refilled. I've heard other teachers complain about their break room never having any coffee. One time he spilled an entire cup on a stack of papers he was grading, looked down at the mess, went silent for a bit, then cleared his throat and said "everyone gets a hundred." 5/5 that was my only hundred in the class.

"He's cool, he allows us to eat snacks in class. As long as it's not toffee peanuts. Can't imagine what he could possibly have against them." 5/5

"He's very picky about commas. I got an A- once solely because of "an irregular use of an oxford comma."" 4/5

"He thoroughly believes in the multiverse and talks about it as though he's lived through it himself. He offhandedly mentioned he knows how to build a quantum destabilizer (some type of gun?) yet doesn't know how to operate a laptop. He might be an alien." 5/5

"His office hours are atrocious I don't think he ever sleeps." 5/5

"He went surprisingly quiet when someone brought up the possibility of perpetual motion in class. You'll be good as long as you don't bring up the first two laws of thermodynamics. Or the puppet from Poppy Avenue. DON'T bring up the puppet from Poppy Avenue. I still haven't heard back from the guy that said Dr. Stanford looked an awful lot like that puppet." 5/5

"He types one key at a time. I'm talking keymashing each letter with his index finger. There was more than one occasion in which we just watched him type for minutes on end, pausing to take time to think through which key he'll press next." 3/5

"I once saw a whiteboard magnet get stuck to the side of his head. He might be a cyborg." 5/5

"He casually mentioned that his first car was taken by a tree, then refused to elaborate and went on with the lesson as normal. I don't think he meant a tree fell on it." 5/5

Hc that Ford gets a job at a local community college as a physics prof after he and Stan are done sailing around the world and fulfills his destiny as the eccentric professor he was always meant to be

And he quickly gains a reputation amongst the stem students as That Professor

I bet his ratemyprof reviews would be insane:

“He didn’t grade any of our homework until the end of the semester, but he brought something called a ‘plaidypus’ to class and let us pet it. Her name was Dorothy. 5/5”

“He constantly ranted about how ‘triangles are the most untrustworthy shape’ whatever that means. Also he doesn’t know how to use the internet. I hated his class. 5/5”

And many more iterations of “this guy is terrible. 5 stars”

Everybody always calls me a silly goose but never a handsome goose or clever goose...

god I hate this

@aroace-get-out-of-my-face we did in fact speedrun this i fear. ford is highly concerned.
