Winter Is Just Around The Corner And New Year Is Coming Soon, And My Thoughts Are All About Summer Days😅

A few more sketches.

Including my boy Thistlebert.

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.

Sad and thoughtful

just enjoying some really, really good brandy.

Bill and space.My favorite topic.

Will you tell us the secrets of what fanon you disagree with so much?? Regardless of your answer, i love your blog!! You got Good Content

*points at the fanon characterization of Ford as a whole with much distaste*

Fanon Ford is a selfish arrogant narcissist who manipulates Dipper to do what he wants because he idolizes him, while wholly neglecting or sometimes even outright hating Mabel for being like Stan, only cares if he gets the glory, personally kicked Stan out onto the streets and hates his guts, and is simultaneously a big dumb idiot who can't tell when someone is lying. This made up version of Ford the fans were too blind and stupid to see that they were creating can go die in a fire for all I care.

Canon Ford is none of that. He is an autistic coded and trauma riddled man that is trying his best to do the right thing. He is not manipulative, instead, he was manipulated himself. He cares about Mabel as much as he does Dipper, the only reason he doesn't interact with her as much is the fact that he struggles with socializing with people he can't already relate to. He knows what he's made of, being confident he can do something isn't arrogance. Being proud of his abilities isn't arrogance. Conversely, his self worth is through the friggin floor. He doesn't feel like he's worth it if he's not proving himself. He can't simply exist, he has to do big things or else he's nothing. Some arrogance that is. Ford does love Stan, he just isn't very happy with him. Like can he not be angry with his brother without being stomped in the ground for five seconds? It's as if someone has to be perfectly happy with their sibling all the time, even when they did things that DIRECTLY HURT THEM and did not even APOLOGIZE for it ONCE. (Sorry, hit a sore spot there, let's move on) Ford was manipulated and abused by Bill and calling him stupid for it is blatant victim blaming.

anyway, I could go on, but Fanon Ford is my enemy that I have sworn to fight against every day in this dang fandom. I have taken a break from actively fighting this characterization for my own mental health (because this fandom is illiterate and also cruel I swear to the Axolotl), but it is a fight I take in my own mind every time I see any "hot" take about Ford that is more likely an ice cold take than anything because of how friggin often those kinds of mischaracterizing things are said. Anyway, that has been my answer on 'fanon'. Thank you for the question and for the compliment.

I wanted to remember how to draw Bill Cipher.

And also that ship Billford I also like.

been trying out a new style lately :O
