I wanted to draw something cute in honor of the New Year, but unfortunately I didn't manage to do it in time.
I decided to draw my favorite hugging boys.
Quirks and observations #1:
At no point has anyone ever made Ford feel like he has intrinsic value. Deep down he feels people will only tolerate him if he is being useful hence his obsession with 'fixing' his mistake when it was really him being manipulated.
After Weirdmageddon, he immediately turned around and called his life's work 'an old man's folly'. He was willing to sacrifice himself to save his family but after everything he's gone through he calls Stanley the hero because Stanley was the one who got it done.
He doesn't forgive himself for making mistakes.
Ford always has all these metrics with which he judges himself and his standards are so damn high. He doesn't think he's a great scientist. He doesn't think he's a good man or even a good brother. He always has to be the fixer, the smart one, the one constantly trying to prove himself competent. Nothing he does is ever good enough because he knows the moment something goes wrong people will drop him.
He saw how his father treated Stanley, and he internalized it. Even when Ford made his father proud, he was keenly aware of how precarious and conditional it all was.
I'd like to think that at some point his family tells him it's okay to ask for help, but because he's so guarded no one has figured out that what he really needs is someone to tell him they won't love him less if he messes up.
Ford desperately needs someone that gives him permission to fail.
Even universal evil needs sleep✨
lazy eye charles 🖤 how else can he keep such a good eye on the band!
also pouty murderface!
Happy birthday, Stan and Ford! I drew Stan hugging that plushy in one of my previous drawings
✨Raven Mother✨
A successful duplication spell.
I really wanted to draw Charles in this. I am glad that I was able to return to drawing after a long time
I wanted to remember how to draw Bill Cipher.
And also that ship Billford I also like.
