I think one of the reasons stanford pines appeals to me is that in most other cases he would have been a villain. Hes an angry abuse survivor. Hes visibly traumatized. He has a physical abnormality. Even before the stuff with Bill or the portal hes socially inept, he has trouble taking care of himself, he has trouble expressing himself and connecting, he has strange interests he fixates on. Hes weird. Heโs different than other ppl. Hes alienated. Hes flawed and hes angry and hes dysfunctional and his problems and differences arent always pretty or charming. Hes the kind of character I would normally have to settle for picking through villains or bad caricatures or both to find.
But the cool thing about Ford is hes a protagonist. Not only that, heโs got genuinely a good heart. He cares about people, hes kind and sincere. He messes up but he admits being wrong, takes responsibility for his actions, and tries to fix things. He perpetually means well. Hes not only defined by his flaws or differences and we arent supposed to hate him because of them. Hes complex and imperfect and divergent and good all at the same fucking time, and it matters so fucking much to me
A mug is home.
Stanley Pines never really had a ceramic mug, ot was always those plastic and carton cups for his coffee and his coffee always tasted like shit...he always liked it creamier, with milk and sugar but that costed extra and caffeine is what kills his hunger easiest.
When he began living as Stanford Pines he used the dishes that were already there, finally he could carry around a steaming cup of coffee down to the basement, boring and white.
Then he became Mr Mystery and began selling mugs as part of merchandise: a classic ugly yellow with a question mark. A mug?
It was for customers only, or at least it was supposed to be but Stanley fojnd himself taking one for himself. He found himself dropping the Stanford act more and more because yeah it was a ceramic mug but it was HIS.
Then the little twins came along...by then things had changed a lot but it was never truly home. It was Ford's house afterall. Still, if Stan closed his eyes and ignored the many nights and early sunrises he spends in the basement, he could almost pretend it was a home.
He is one day handed a mug. It is glittery and messy and probably has materials that wouldn't be safe do drink from. It is his mug, given by the twins. It is HIS.
A ceramic mug is something you only get when you settle, when you plan to stay and wake up under the same roof for a long time. It is a promise of home.
A mug is home.
Later on, when Ford and Stan prepare to sail away, Stanley insists they shoukd make their own mugs from scratch.
dang..

life path
i think it's unfortunate you cant really discuss the possible connotations of bills abuse of ford in an allegory for sexual abuse because everyone is so quick to defend their triangle when the room for that discussion is very present
i mean even without going into all the metaphorical mess with the possession theres just the straight up nonconsensual public nudity and sexually charged tattoo bill forced ford into getting
would i call the way these are played off in the canon tasteless? yeah. but regardless this did occur
and as for the possession. not only is it literally in this mentality of "you said yes the first time which means you say yes for every single time i do this to you/you cant take back your consent" that is very Indicative of something but this literally is a violation of fords body and control and anything at a fundamental level.
fish I guess
