Crying during sex - Ethel cain.

Yea, rn i'm on a mission to draw stan to as much song from her as possible, and, yes, i do hurt my own feelings during the journey, too, obviously.

ALSO, it might look a bit weird i, a stupid ass, accidentally deleted the whole flie. Yea, i managed to saved some of them before it happened, but still,,,

Anyway i hope this hurts other people feelings like it did mine🎀🎀

Hc that Ford had a hard time finding food fit for human consumption on a regular basis while he was out there dimension hopping, so when he came back, he was pretty underweight. By contrast, Stan has put his own health on the back burner for 30 years to get the portal working again, so he’s not doing so hot in the health department either.

Anyway, I think that living at sea eating 3 meals a day and doing a lot of physical labor does wonders for them both. Stan loses weight, Ford gains weight, they both have that sparkle and zest for life back, and when they show up in Piedmont for Thanksgiving (Mabel sent them invitations) to their surprise, people have a hard time telling them apart. When they finally really LOOK at each other in the mirror, they look more like twins than they have in decades.

hi hi hi more commissions 💥

u get my sad post for today SORRYYYYYYY💔💔💔💔

I will never understand how and why people seriously hate on teenage Ford. I get not liking some of the things he would do later in life, sure, but was he really wrong for how he behaved before his and Stan's falling out?

If you ask me, then no, I don't think he was. Because what did he want? Why was there a rift between the brothers even before the science fair?

For all of his youth Ford had a very strong desire to be seen for something other than what he was born as. Because who was he, really? One of a set of twins? Specifically the weird one with six fingers? And of course, he loved his brother and wanted him to be a part of his life, but that's the thing, isn't it. He, Ford, wanted Stan, his twin who was very dear to him, in his life, but it would be Ford's own one, separate from Stan's. He didn't want to be just one half of a person anymore and he didn't want Stan to be that way either. Stan, however, who had throughout his life repeatedly been told that he is worth nothing without Ford, obviously clung to this "dynamic duo" hard. And actually I can't help but think that here Stan was the one whose emotions were unhealthy. Because how wrong is it to just want to be your own person and to follow your ambitions?

Actually this may or may not be a hot take, but I do believe that everyone would be so much better off if everything went well and Ford got into his dream university. Both Stan and Ford would be able to develop as people separately from each other, while still being on good terms. In canon so much of their lives was defined by attempts to fill the hole in their lives which was left in the absence of the other twin. And besides, Stan would not have that need to focus solely on earning as much money as possible as quickly as possible (which is what got him into all the legal trouble that he found himself in. I do think he could've settled down and done somewhat well, just didn't, because people don't become millionaires by getting a minimum wage job and settling down, do they?).

I really want to talk about how Fords body is depicted

Hear me out, i promise it's not as weird as it sounds lol. But in the Book of Bill there is an image where we can see Ford without a shirt looking like this:

Meanwhile in Journal 3 he writes this:

"I've spent the last 30 years keeping up and extensive exercise and diet regimen."

However when we compare his physique in the Book of Bill vs. The Show, we can see that his body seemingly hasn't changed. As you can see he even fits in the same jacket (which is impressive in it's own right after 30 years)

And yeah, in Journal 3 he wrote about the past 30 years, which means that picture was taken before he began his diet. For all we know he could hide a sixpack under that turtleneck lol. But I personally chose to believe that THIS (aka the first photo where hes shirtless) is his form of extensive exercise and diet.

And this is very personal to me because I basically have this exact same body type. I look rather skinny with clothes on, but without them there is quite a bit of fat. And no matter what I do (for example dieting or exercising like Ford) it stays that way. The only way to get rid of it is to literally not eat at all and we can all agree that this is neither healthy, nor sustainable. And it's nice to see that a healthy body doesn't have to mean that you're skinny, you can still have a bit of body fat and be in good shape!

I just find it nice to have my body type represented in a character that means very much to me, especially since I struggled a lot with it in the past.

I thought I'd share my thoughts because maybe other people can relate:)

fish I guess

happy first post to me
