Can we talk about how good at improv Ford apparently is I think about this everytime I watch this scene

Y'all calling yourselves 'old man fuckers' for liking guys who aren't even 30?Weak.I wanna fuck Ford from Gravity Falls

it's very... odd to me that people act like stan has a better handle on interpersonal relationships than ford, bc like... he really doesn't?

like, the main difference in their approach is that stan is extroverted while ford is introverted, but neither of them are Good at maintaining relationships.

stan has managed to find a sort of family in soos and wendy despite the odds, but even then he doesn't want to call attention to how he feels about the two of them. he doesnt want to admit soos is like a son to him, or that wendy holds a space more important than 'seasonal cashier'.

and when it comes to ford, he seems almost entirely unable to conceptualize who he is without comparing them. he's the worse twin, the screw up twin, the dumb twin, ect. he's always comparing himself to ford!

and like, the show kinda brushes past this in favor of 'stan values his family, unlike ford, whos a self obsessed workaholic', which doesn't even... begin to make sense with how they're actually written.

ford does think about stan, and he thinks about him with a ton of regret. over a decade after the science fair, ford is still actively grieving the loss of his closest friend and seemingly the only family he had any real bond to.

he won't straight up say this, though, because it's an open wound and anger feels safer. he can't contact stanley, because he's convinced himself they're both better off like this.

after the science fair, ford becomes a hermit. he only just barely keeps in contact with fiddleford, and seems shocked when he realizes he was lonely from living in the woods alone.

stan seems to have tried to make friends during the decade or so he was homeless, but the implication is that the friends he made were often using him or just bad people.

he's just as likely to isolate as ford is, just in a very different way

If anyone else wants to read about Glenn Ford's interest in reincarnation and his alledged 5 previous life, everything about it can be found on archive.org in Americans who have been reincarnated (1980) by Banerjee, H. N.

as much as I do like the Horrors of ford being in the multiverse, I do kinda wish there was more stuff focusing on the good experiences (however few) he had and the friends he made with the knowledge he would never see them again

like, he was close enough to a group of people that he got tattooed with them. he misses dimension 52. and he had to know that both of them would end, sooner or later, because staying in one place increased chances he'd be caught. because, despite all of this, his destiny is to kill bill cipher.

how many favorite books. how many foods that he ate every day until he left and realized oh. I'll never eat that again. how many songs stuck in his head that don't exist. how many words that he wants to use but they don't translate and there's not even something close to their meaning here so he can't even try to explain what he means

[ckret2]

Oh Ford was doomed from the word go. That fascination started EARLY.

Thirty years later, "I can't explain it but something about being visited by a floating yellow triangle as I lay in my bed feels comfortingly familiar. Perhaps it's fate..."
