I've seen a few Billford fics where Dipper is onto/extremely suspicious that Bill isn't exactly "human", but I think the reverse concept is much much funnier... where Dipper's convinced Ford is the cryptid and Bill is 100% the normal guy
Dipper "Paranoia" Pines: "Mabel, don't you think there's something WEIRD about Great-Uncle Ford??? He barely sleeps, he wears a turtleneck AND coat in the middle of summer, he has a ranked blood 'flavor profile' list, he always sneaking around at night, he always smells like brunt hair... which is... also weird but not really a sign of anything I guess... but I still think he's vampire? Maybe?? -chewing pen, frantically searching The Monster Book of Monsters for more clues- Mabel: "What, Dipper, you're crazy! Right Grunkle Bill?" Bill Cipher -clearly doing something supernatural, up to and including still being a floating triangle in a top hat- "Gee, I dunno Shooting Star, personally I've always suspected my hubbie's a shaved Bigfoot... how else do you explain Stan?" Dipper -oblivious to the real cryptid in the shack-: SEE, yes, thank you, good to know we have one voice of reason in this house!

Holy sh#t!!!! Dana herself bless you for sharing this knowledge.
Hunter's Worst Memories Montage is about what we'd expect, given what we've seen of his past and character thus far. Except for one which was pointed out to me on discord tonight.
And it's going to take me a long, LONG time to recover from the fact that Hunter puts "Hurting Willow" on the same level of bad memories as "Being abused by Belos" and "finding out his entire life is a lie."
Just some more huntlow doodles :D
Look I can't be the only one that thinks that hunter would be the type of dad that worries about every little thing
(( The text is if I missed spelled ))
Hehe *sqush* Papa!*
*Baby crying*
Willow I'm a terrible father!!
Willow: *just woke up*
Willow: You're not a bad Dad he was just sleeping
The interesting thing about filbrick is that the way stan describes him is the way a lot of boomers describe their parents.
The parents of boomers belonged to "the silent generation", they were people who went through generational traumas like. The great depression and ww2. These were people with lots of trauma and no therapy so they got to pass it down to their kids yay!
Also parenting styles were different then, and during the 50s/and The Post War Conformity and 60s: children were not largely acknowledged as their own people. They were raised to be mini versions of their parents, there was not a consideration for a child as an individual.
So Filbrick was a bad parent, yes. But he was also in a Context where what we consider to be child abuse was normalized.
Theres a tendency to make things 1 dimensional and say an abusive person always has to have the full intention to hurt someone just to hurt them and must be purely evil and set to torture with no love at all.
But like, the way Filbrick acted towards his sons was likely considered unfortunately normal or even Good. He may have even loved them in the way he knew how or was supposed to, but that doesnt mean he couldnt also do hurtful or even abusive things.
And that probably actually makes it worse for Stan and Ford. If someone does a thing that hurts you and you Know that something was wrong, you can at least feel rightfully angry about it.
If its normalized then you dont get that catharsis. You are left thinking that what happened to you was the way it was supposed to be. Filbrick doesnt need to be extremely abusive to have hurt his kids, he might even have loved them. But that doesnt mean he didnt hurt them too! If he did or did not makes little difference.
I love Ford but he is the twin that talks without thinking.
Everytime I hear 20-smth mad-scientist Ford say "I'm giving you a chance to do the first worthwhile thing in your life." to Mullet!Stan I actually feel like I'm gonna jump through the screen and kill him.
