I drew Ford in an uncharacteristic appearance for him. It's Stan's turn .. Hippy and Stan. It sounds clearly something contradictory, judging by the way he treated them in the cartoon
thinking again abt how ford does rly well with solitude and consuming himself with work as a distraction, so it's rly sweet to see him write how much seeing fiddleford just brought so much joy to his life just by existing with him.
a man who hasn't felt the presence of anyone else in years being overjoyed by being able to share the work he loves with someone he cares so much about gets to me okay.
sketches.
imagining fiddleford coming over to work on this huge project with his best friend and realizes that this man hasn't given himself a break in 6 years, constantly throws himself in dangerous situations without any regard for his safety, and hes pretty sure his friend is getting possessed by something he doesnt know what and fiddleford just
I haaaaate when ppl treat ford being upset over his identity being taken and his house getting turned into essentially a mockery of his research was completely unreasonable
like, was stan doing his best with a terrible situation? absolutely! would ford kicking him out be an actually fair option? fuck no!
but he's been in this dimension for probably 12 hours. god knows the last time he's slept. he'd been nearly dead prior to going thru the portal and now has to deal with the fact that he's lost everything. he doesn't even have his own identity anymore.
I honestly don't even think half the shit ford says to stan is truly about stanley or ford's opinion of him, so much as it is about his own issues and how weighed down with guilt he is.
I think its worth noting that ford only ever says mean things about stan when he's pissed off- when he's not angry, he's much more willing to actually discuss things and try to find common ground (such as when he invites stan to play d,d&d).
it honestly comes off more as him not knowing how to communicate anger outside of hurting people than it does genuine malice towards stan. and also I don't think ford ever really internalized that stan was homeless in the duration of the show
I sure hope mother isn’t caught in the rain.
Ford in «The Owl House universe».
I think that Stanford in this universe would have such a defect, because of which he would not be able to conjure. I just doubt that in this world, Ford was teased because of six fingers. In the world of demons and all sorts of monsters, six fingers would probably not be something surprising and wrong. Therefore, I decided to deprive Ford of the ability to create magic. And so I think he could, like Luz, look for an alternative way to study magic, or even don't give a damn about it. Science is the main force. And he could study local creatures, like in the world of Gravity Falls, or invent something.
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.
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.
YALL KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS‼️
It’s fiddleford friday AND the day he first went to gravity falls!!!!
