Also, I’m going to need everyone to stay on the Stancest/GF hyperfixations please and thank you
So anyways I think the worst part about Emma May is that she was so so loved. Fidds almost destroyed a city because she left him. Can you imagine loving someone that much? To the point of wanton destruction? She just couldn’t give him what he truly wanted so she lost her place in his list of priorities. He got carried away in Ford’s dazzling world and forgot that she was a person who needed companionship and attention, that she wasn’t just a concept to yearn for from a distance. Fiddleford forgot that she was a person a PERSON and all we see is this negative space, a garage in Palo Alto, an imprint left in their marriage bed, half a face on his desk, this forensic scattering left in her son’s existence and a crazed lunatic missing a Family, a Wife. She once existed. And he dug such a deep well of sadness within her that she quite literally disappeared completely from the narrative. Something something there’s a particularly cruel pain left by the selfishness of kindhearted men. Emma May, was it worth it?

Minor detail, but did F stay in Ford's cabin when he first came to GF? J3 wrote that F left for somewhere while Ford (with Bill's help) finished off the rest of the calculations
I'm not sure, but I think it's implied that he has an apartment? At least, the room he's at in the memory gun footage doesn't match with any room we see in Ford's cabin, once made into the Shack or otherwise. It might not even be an apartment anyway, but it's definitely not Ford's place.
And an apartment feels more likely, since Fiddleford was only planning to be staying in Gravity Falls for the duration of the portal business. Buying a house and dealing with the mortgage instead of simply renting an apartment for however many months this ordeal was feels like a waste. We see moments later in the footage that Fiddleford was living in a hotel of some sort, probably after failing to pay up rent for his apartment or some other reason probably related to his growing insanity and the worsening state of his room. Either way, he wasn't living in Ford's home as the change from an apartment to the hotel happened 273 days after the first recorded exposure for this specific memory, likely far after Ford was portaled. And we know Ford's house wasn't being lived in by anyone other than Ford when Stan arrived.
anyway, this got long but I hope it was useful. I tried to look for other references to where Fiddleford was going in the journal but I couldn't find anything (at least not in the regular one, perhaps there's something in the blacklight one, doubtful but y'know) thanks for asking
