I've Always Found The End Of Journal 3 A Bit Strange, But One Of The Specific Things Is Ford Throwing

I've always found the end of Journal 3 a bit strange, but one of the specific things is ford throwing his journals into the bottomless pit. It's kinda cool as a concept, but it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

a drawing of ford looking down into the bottomless pit. he is holding the journal against his chest and seems despondent.

The bottomless pit basically makes it so the fate is unknown of whatever goes in. it could come back, it could end up somewhere else, or it could continue falling for eternity.

the journals falling freely down the bottomless pit. theyre opening as they're falling and some pages are coming out.

ford has attempted to hide his journals before, but they were all found. Gideon even dug up the 2nd one and used it to terrorize the town and even ford's own family.

a peek at journal 2 buried in the ground. you can slightly see the trees and grass above the ground showing it's buried near a forest.

so I don't think ford would be blind to these outcomes, its happened before why wouldn't it happen again? I think the thought of the journals falling through the pit and wounding up in the hands of someone more powerful than an 8 year old would be enough to keep him up at night. the forever uncertainty would kill him.

ford holding all 3 journals in his arm with his back facing the pit. he's frowning and appears to be walking away from it.

then I think, well maybe he would burn them with everything else?

a bottom up perspective of ford sitting at a campfire. stan and dipper sit on logs next to him smiling and laughing, while ford is frowning. he appears to be in deep thought.

however, I think it's important to remember how much these journals meant to him. despite the memories they carry now, they were once his sole confidant in six years of solitude.

ford is sitting on the couch in his room. hes reading journal 1 and frowns at the page he's reading. hes carefully holding it in his hands as he leans to let the lamp light the page.

even if ford felt any sort of connection to them now, he probably felt like he had to get rid of them.

two drawings. one of the journals sitting in a box with the sides open and the other with ford's hands over the box shutting it closed with the journals inside.

he probably felt that his work was a burden to those he cared about. that he would have to make the sacrifice to part with them.

ford sitting on the couch in his room again with the journals on the floor. journal 3 is laying on top open to the page ford scribbled in during his descent to madness.

I think it would be a great dilemma for him. So I believe he gave them to someone. I think a lot of people would assume it would be Dipper, but to me what it comes down to is that it would have to be someone ford could fully trust.

it would be someone who could see the value in his work despite his mistakes. someone who could fully understand where his passion came from at the very start.

ford is handing journal 3 to someone. only the journal, the arms, and the hands are shown.

so i believe he gave them to fiddleford

a drawing of fiddleford giving a reassuring smile while holding the journal.

I think fiddleford has had an interest in Ford's old journals ever since his memory started to recover. he remembers something new each time he reads them. fiddleford would be able to keep them safe, keeping ford's mind at ease knowing someone was keeping an eye on them.

on the top left is a drawing of fiddleford at him reading journal 3. he's reading the eyebats page and thoughtfully scratching his beard. he smiles as he reads. on the bottom right is a drawing of fiddleford placing the journal on a bookshelf. its placed next to books numbered 1 through 3.

and I think that would be enough for him

a drawing of fiddleford leaving a dark library with a tall bookshelf to his side. the journals are the only books not shaded so you can see where they sit.

yeah i'm an adult and i'm short, so i know :_) and i didn't make her high, it's just an artstyle

ooh, didn't know about the race, but knew about the sins. Niffty is a cockroach cuz she likes cleanliness but unfortunately, niffty's design doesn't show this and the fact that she is a killer, so I just made her look more like roach and covered her dress in blood. And I took her dress from the old pic of japanese girl i've found. I changed her hairstyle cuz i don't like it and think that my variation suits the hotel maid better

glad you liked her arms, thank u :з

okay

it's a redesigh wow

Niffty from Hazbin Hotel :]

okay, tbh i was surprised when i read information about her

okay, lets find out who she is

1. she's a cockroach(or a bug) - SHE IS?? RED THING WITH ONE EYE, SURE, THATS PRETTY MUCH LIKE COCKROACH (okay her noises in the pilot is cool but the design........ meh)

2. she's Japanese - well i haven't been to Japan, maybe that's how they look like

3. she died in 1950 - where did she buy her dress

4. she's a killer - pls don't kill me red little cockroach for redesigning you TnT

5. she is an adult - SHE IS??[x2] i thought she was a little girl cuz of her voice and dress :_)

so that's all, i didnt want it but i actually changed everything. maybe i'll post some more of my redesign sketches, who knows
