Drawn According To Mood

It took me a long time, but I'm glad I finished it. I thought it was funny to draw such an important guy with a gun in his hands, but with funny socks.

There is no other place in Gravity Falls I would rather be than the lake.

Inktober Day 15: Legend

Common, what did you expect me to draw? Legend?? Of COURSE it would be Stanley Pines.( ^∀^) It didn’t turn out as grand as I had hoped, it doesn’t look nearly as cool as it did in the show.. But I’m happy with it. Its Stan! How can I not be happy with it?? (♡´౪`♡)

A small sketch of the Pines brothers in "The Owl House" universe

Not sure if I ever said this here before, but I am on the side who believes that Ford never actually said that he was going to kick Stan out. All he said was for Stan to give back his [Ford's] house, his name, and end the Mystery Shack.

Ford could've easily said he wanted Stan out, but he didn't. While I have no doubt that Ford might be projecting an attitude similar to Filbrick, I don't think Ford would want to kick his brother out like their father did.

However, I would not blame Stan for thinking that was the case due to Ford's tone. Ford wasn't exactly sparring Stan's feelings on the matter. And, hell, he might as well have told Stan to take a hike when he said he wanted the Mystery Shack (Stan's business that he worked hard on) to shut down, even if he didn't mean it like that.

And was Stan meant to do then? Just...loit around?

Not only that, but I don't think that Ford has that grant money anymore...or any money, for that matter. The Mystery Shack would've provided some sufficient funds.

Sometimes, I wonder if Ford didn't think that through, believing that upon taking everything back and returning to his research, it would be like nothing happened...

Sort of similar to Stan's own previous attitude about the situation.

I just adore this sorcerer, he's so...you know💅

A little while ago I saw online someone had made a DND character sheet for Ford Pines. In the ability scores area, they had intelligence as the highest (makes sense), and strength as one of the lowest (fair enough)

But then they had wisdom as second highest and dexterity as second lowest, and I gotta say, I think those two need to be flipped

I mean let’s start with dexterity. Now I’m not an expert on DND by any means so apologies if I am misunderstanding dexterity here, but others have pointed out that Ford spent his entire adulthood chasing after and/or running from paranormal creatures. I guess I just feel like he has to have high dexterity for him to have even survived all those years.

Also this

But wisdom being low is where I feel most strongly.

I wouldn’t be the first to point out that Ford, while highly intelligent, completely lacks common sense.

People have noted that the safety measures for turning the portal on and off should have been reverse, that the portal shouldn’t have been that easy to turn on by accident and yet it required at least two people to turn it off.

He keeps an infinity die in a “cheap plastic case”

He gives a 12 year old a cross bow

He gives another 12 year old a mind control tie and tells him to “use it responsibly”

He takes Dipper out on several missions that were probably too dangerous for him, refer to the magnet gun above, where Dipper, if he didn’t do it right, could have fallen to his death, and Ford also took him on the mission to shoot Bill for …some reason???? Leave the 12 year old at home when you go kill god to save the world from the current apocalypse! Why do I even need to say that??? Also “don’t worry I’ve been down here countless times and all the aliens are dead…probably”

As I recall, “Bill proofing the shack” was his first line of defense and “Bill proof our minds” was “the next best thing” …shouldn’t those be reversed??? You gotta leave the shack at some point????

According to journal 3, Ford was the one who encouraged Stan to take the kids on a road trip RIGHT AFTER BILL PROOFING THE SHACK, which completely defeats the purpose of doing that in the first place.

I’ve pointed this out before, “Mabel will be fine! I watched her become pen pals with the pizza delivery man in the 15 seconds he was at the door!” … Ford…that’s creepy has hell, keep that pizza delivery man away from your niece!”

When weirdmageddon started he wrote in his journal????? And drew a lovely little detailed image?????

See that little greenish sticky note at the top? That’s my little note that says “when did you have time to write this?????” Seriously what. “It’s the end of the world…i gotta draw this and write a little entry on it before I save everyone!!!” It’s the drawing that really gets me. Okay write a note in case someone else has to take over but WHY THE DRAWING

And finally, everyone is holding hands at the Cipher Wheel. Stan is essential and is refusing to join unless Ford thanks him for saving him. Ford reluctantly does so. It’s now clear that Stan is willing to put everyone, Dipper and Mabel included, at risk just because he wants a thank you, so Ford decides this is a really good time to CORRECT STAN’S GRAMMAR

Look I say this with love but,

Ford may be the smartest people in the room but he’s also the biggest dumbass in the room. This man has no wisdom.

Thank you. It was a pleasure to draw this art, as well as reading your fanfic

Based on a scene from fordtato Jersey Boy fanfic.

Okay I just gotta say, before I log off, I've been thinking about the fact that these "lost journal 3" pages exist in TBOB, and that Bill says they were ripped out by Ford. So we know that post-Weirdmageddon, Journal 3 was fully restored, including pages Ford ripped or burned out in the 80s (as well as any deterioration that happened since then), but the pages in TBOB still weren't in there.

What that means is that, post-Weirdmageddon, Ford must has ripped these pages out.

So I can imagine Dipper, super excited, running to Ford like "Grunkle Ford! Look! Your Journals! And they have so many new pages I've never seen before!" and then Ford going "haha that's so cool - WAIT," and then just grabbing the book and ripping out a bunch of pages, some with the embarrassing Polaroids, some with the darkest and scariest parts of his trauma, the way he fell for Bill and his lies, some of his personal memories with Fiddleford, etc. and then just handing it back to Dipper.

Dipper, pointing at the pages in the fireplace: uuuuh what were those

Ford:...... nothing.

It would explain why we, the readers, don't have access to those pages after he throws them in the Bottomless Pit at the end of J3.
