Fixed up another sketch from last year. This time we got Stan tacking care of an anxious Fiddleford.

Reblogs greatly encouraged!

What's this? A little calendar teaser and update for everyone??

You betcha! We're getting close, so here are the facts so far:

Calendars will likely be up for pre-order in June/July.

Since they are for 24 months, they will likely be $20-$30 USD.

The charity we'll be donating to this year is A New Way of Life Reentry Project, who provide housing, case management, pro bono legal services, advocacy, and leadership development for people rebuilding their lives after incarceration.

I'm hoping to do a run of 500 calendars!

I'm basing that number off the previous poll I did about the mullet!Stan calendar, so I'm hoping there will actually be that many folks purchasing it. But that's where you come in. YES YOU! In order to make this calendar a success (and to ensure I don't end up with 300 of them taking up space in my house), I need all of you to be sure you reblog this post, share links on other social media sites, and generally do whatever you can to spread the word.

I have faith we can make this happen!

^^ bearded Ford entered my mind and wouldn’t leave I had to try sketching him out^^

I’m so glad you liked it^^

Hi hi^^ have a rendition of Limberjack Ford I came up with^^

One has a most messed up eye, to make it more apparent that it’s hurt. I also had the idea that there was some ginger in his beard.

Looking like that, we can see how Stan didn’t recognize him at first.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I love this so much omg!!!!!! Thank you for drawing Lumberjack Ford, he looks so good! So big and huggable. A real gentle giant. And he's got a relaxed, calm, settled expression from living his life without complications hhhhhhhhh. Those big strong arms and slight cushion to his belly!!!

I 10000% agree that lol yeah Stan would not recognize this guy as his twin brother at first. Completely different kind of person from the man that got sucked into a tornado all those years ago.

[elishevart]

OMG! OMG! What if during the storm that rendered Ford amnesiac he had an eye injury!?!? So now he either wears an eyepatch or can barely see in one eye

Sorry, for the second ask, but my brain just kept rolling. But since in the storm chaser au, Ford has amnesia, we can supposed that he suffered a head injury and it could have claimed both his memories and one of his eye

Ooh!

Hmmmmmmm...

I'm into the idea of Ford losing extra vision in one eye. Maybe not full eyepatch or blindness territory, but more noticeable than average (for example, one of my eyes is worse than the other, but I don't notice unless I accidentally put the wrong contact in).

I don't want him to lose too much vision bc that might mess with his depth perception, and I think depth perception is important for a lumberjack.

[elishevart]

I'm obsessed with the storm chaser au and Ford in it.

-what if from the tornado and injury he has a metal joint and can always tell when it's about to rain? The lumberjacks think this is so cool until he starts freaking out because it's gonna be a bad storm tonight

-the first time Stan sees "Bill" during a thunderstorm he doesn't really know what to do to calm him down maybe compared to Ford's new partner, who's probably used to this. Probably makes him feel even more disconnected from his twin and who he's become

-the memories come back in sort of deja vu moments and it takes a while to tell what he's remembering and feeling versus what he's been told. It's almost a relief when he gets to Angie and she's like "nope I'm brand new but i did hear a drunken story where you did something stupid in the 80s" and there's someone who knows about who he was pretty much how he does - vaguely, in stories

-Fidds is handling all of this *so* well.... Also Stan and Angie, here's a bunch of new equipment and I tricked out the van again :) (he works through emotion by building things and if that means they have new stuff while he takes out his frustrations on this piece of metal so be it)

-Bill Wood and Manly Dan (although he'll always be boyish to "Bill") are drinking buddies.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh I was so psyched to see such a long ask! I love all your thoughts and ideas, they're so great!

Ooh, a metal joint? Maybe almost something analogous to the metal plate he gets in his head in canon... I like it. He's hurt bad enough by being dropped by the tornado that he needs some sort of joint replacement. I'm thinking...a knee? And he would definitely be able to feel storms rolling in with that. But yeah he gets really worked up whenever a particularly bad storm is about to hit.

Hmm perhaps the storm that Stan and Co were chasing fizzled out, but a new one pops up unexpectedly while they're still in Gravity Falls, and that's when Stan sees "Bill" freak out during the storm. And is completely unable to help him, whereas, yes, Ford's partner is able to calm him down. It definitely makes Stan feel weird and out of touch. And maybe even makes Stan worry that trying to bring Ford back into his life is the wrong thing to do. "Bill" is his brother, but in many ways he isn't Ford anymore.

Oh yeah, Ford's memories don't all come rushing back. It's a bit by bit thing. And I can imagine Ford getting concerned by having zero memories triggered by Angie (well, maybe some Fiddleford memories, since they are siblings that look very similar lol). Until Angie says she's never met him before and is honestly surprised by him now that she has. He doesn't fit the stories she's heard at all.

(And drunken story from the 80s...akjlndsfkjldafs yeah Angie would definitely tell him that one. If only to lighten the mood a bit.)

LMAO YES Fiddleford trying to avoid actually dealing with the situation by just turning to more robots and machinery and fixing things and making them better and no Fiddleford we've told you the toaster is fine STOP MESSING WITH IT. He puts on a brave face and acts like nothing's wrong, but Angie and Stan see right through it. Angie's just. So done with these boys. This was supposed to be an easy, fast trip. Now Stan is upset and complaining about how Ford isn't Ford anymore, Fiddleford won't stop building dangerous things and fixing things that don't need to be fixed, and they've been staying in a crappy motel room for a week.

HELL YEAH BILL AND DAN DRINKING BUDDIES. OMG "Bill" having an almost big brotherly relationship towards Dan. Dan might be a lot bigger than him, but "Bill" remembers when Dan was just starting to grow a beard and needed someone to guide him when he began his formal lumberjack career. Or something along those lines.

Stan's just another level of upset by Ford's close connection to the lumberjack community.

(And Stan's claiming to not be upset by how much stronger and buffer Ford is than him now, but he's lying.)

More aroace Ford! Idea I had this time with Stan wanting to know what being aroace is. Even though he won’t fully understand, he understands it makes his brother happy and that’s enough for him.

[elishevart]

elishevart replied to your post: “elishevart replied to your post: “Inspired by the...”

Sorry, i didn’t see the tags you had XD mmm… lumberjack Ford with a beard, that must look good on the men. lol, since he becomes a lumberjack, he ends up bigger and stronger then Stan XD

Oh! If Ford has a beard and his bigger, it could be funny if it took Stan a moment to recognize his twin and it’s only when he sees the finger does he recognize him

​oooooooooooh YES

bigger and stronger, bc not only is Ford doing lumberjack work, but he's doing more manual labor physical stuff than Stan is now. Stan actually winds up going to school to get some sort of degree related to storm chasing (maybe something science, or maybe he gets a certificate to do with medical treatment) during the time that the two are separated. so like, they almost switch paths with each other lol.

Stan's in Gravity Falls with the rest of the team bc they were tracking a storm that fizzled out. Stan mentions to someone in a bar what he does, and that person says it's a good thing the storm fizzled out. there's a lumberjack that's widely beloved around town who gets really nervous and upset when there's any sort of storm that produces thunder.

that person then points out the lumberjack sitting at a different spot in the bar, even calling out his name. the lumberjack looks up. Stan thinks the guy looks maybe vaguely familiar but chalks it up to the guy just having one of those faces.

and then the lumberjack waves at them.

with a six-fingered hand.

(btw side note: the lumberjacks give Ford a new name bc he can't remember his. that name? Bill Wood.)

[elishevart]

I always imagine Ford being the type that's not that invested in babies and while Stan thinks in a similair way, it doesn't count when it comes to his own offsprings Place that child in his arms and protective!dad-mode is on!

A Tale of One Hoax - Page 28 (The End)

This is it, folks! The last page. It's been a loooong ride, and there were times I thought I wouldn't finish it. Thanks to the readers who stuck with me for all these years, and new readers too! I hope you enjoyed the story! A special thanks to my co-author @peonychikh (formerly known as Anfidersio) for the support and fun all these years!

A list of things I asked Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls:

Were there any excerpts cut from Journal 3 that you can share?

What would you change if you were remaking Gravity Falls today? (feat. a discussion on inadvertent transphobia and Grenda)

What's the deal with that (kinda gay) line being changed in Journal 3?

Was there more grim or mature content planned for the Blacklight edition?

What do the red rectangles in J3 mean?

Is there anything in Journal 3 that has not been discovered or unsolved yet?

Why did you change Fiddleford's creation of the memory gun to be after the gremoblin attack?

Thoughts on the Ford+Fiddleford reunion at and after Weirdmeggedon?

What are your thoughts on how many in the fandom have interpreted Ford as part of the LGBTQIA+ community?

Was Bill able to possess Ford in the multiverse before Ford got the metal plate installed into his head in Dimension 52?

Beyond these questions, Alex gave so many insights into the "complex, fucked up" relationship between Bill Cipher and Ford, who would win in a fight (both sober and drunk) between Stan and Ford, and how fandom engages with content today .
