I love that Cedric's arc was nice and gradual! I love that it was messy and that he seemed to keep 'resetting' in so many episodes after every bit of progress he previously made/the closer he got to Sofia.
Progress (including moral progress) is rarely linear. It's messy and chaotic- because that's what trauma does to a person, and that's all the more reason every single bit of progress Cedric went through during the series felt earned! His 'resetting' never quite felt like it was undermining his gradual character development, because of how realistic his journey was and how complex of a character Cedric was (again, especially when you take into account how much his trauma affected him... and I do NOT mean to excuse his actions, mind you).
And for a Disney Junior show, I think their handling of Cedric was all the more impressive!
Do you do challenges? I want it that way too! let’s try to draw an evil Ford who deceives agents. Don’t forget the hashtag #angry fords
the funnier he gets angry, the better))
Don’t forget about Mabel’s drawings, it’s very important)))
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE STAN TWINS!! I literally don’t have anything grand prepared like I did for Mabel and Dipper’s birthday RIP but here you can have this panel from a comic last year I never finished :’)
Ford might have gotten too enthusiastic with his hug and Stan could not support his weight so they fell over like the morons they are
Fiddleford in something gentle...
Based on a scene from fordtato Jersey Boy fanfic.
Do you like Stanford Pines or Gravity Falls deleted scenes (or both)? Well, do I have a treat for you! Back in August, Gravity Falls storyboard artist S. H. Cotugno shared some NEVER BEFORE SEEN deleted scenes from A Tale of Two Stans over on Tik Tok! These include Ford encountering mermaids and a mysterious traffic light creature!
Even in 2023, we're getting new Gravity Falls content in the form of deleted scenes!
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
Try not to worry so much my friend, you look awesome just by being you.
