Sounds like an art student dilemma.

i think actually the grossest thing i've seen is ppl being like "au where bill gets sent back to the shack to get redeemed!!" it literally makes me fucking sick. it is never an abuse victim's job to heal their abuser. what the hell is wrong with you people

[gravitasfalls]

#imagine getting physically and psychologically tortured by someone #and then god shows up in your dreams to tell you that you are his only chance at redemption #that is an actual thing i read #do you people not fucking hear yourselves. #do you not realize the sentiments you are putting into the world??? #'it's ok girl YOU have the power to fix him!' #'i know he's hurt you and everyone you love multiple times but keep trying! deep down he cares!' (via @fordford)

#i would fill the tags with my thoughts but this post and op's tags say enough #just. why would ppl think he wants redemption. (via @cattcklysm)

#it really is. with all my soul I hate those fucking aus and where he gets redeemed only to be shipped with ford and ford forgives him #are you guys unaware with how gross that is. how messed up #because of my abuser got redeemed and forgiven for everything and was interested in me I think I might [remembers suicide jokes are bad] #kill them and a bunch of other people (via @jingledbells)

#I’m so glad other people think this #because I’ve seen that and I’m just completely baffled and ??? #it’s as op’s tags said- are you thinking about what you’re putting into this world #what you’re saying through your work? #one can argue that the work this show is fictional but I argue that #what you implicitly think can be reflected in your work #and the gf fandom happens to be explicit about it lol #sorry for the ramble in tags op (via @eternalasphyxiation)

#<- prev tags. head in hands #besides it being extremely. and I mean Extraordinarily uninteresting it's very dismissive to fords character development (via @tazmiilly)

#what's up with gf fans where they somehow manage to apply misogynistic tropes to a male character (via @abyssalzones)

#i dont like being the fun police but that au did always make me squint. girl let ford rest #i think this explains perfectly why it made me uncomfortable. Thats Not Their Job #especially like ford and dipper and mabel they went through too much at his hand to have to be the ones to fix him #it is kindve weird to me ppl took thew semi canonizing of billford to be like. oh they SHOULD get back together and bill should heal with f #like no i actually think bill is insane and dangerous and abused ford in every single way the relationship was abusive #i also think it was a queer relationship. but it was Bad. it was a bad one. #if you want to fix it fic bill sure but leave the ppl he abused out of it HJKSDHJK (via @he1lblazer)

#I’ve only ranted about this privately but this has made me uncomfortable #it also misses the point of The Book of Bill entirely #where Ford begins heal from his abuse in part because of the support of his family but also from Bill Cipher not being in his life anymore #Whereas Bill is stuck in his ways and actively refusing to do better (via @bravadoting)

#oh god thank you bc i lowkey actually hate it #it does dismiss a lot of fords character development and just what he went through tbh (via @swishywhispersqueen)

everything wrong with this messaging aside I should massacre them for bad taste crimes like how can you read that Ford Pines as horror movie final girl narrative with meditations on the shame survivors feel/some of the most on-the-nose gaslighting boyfriend dialogue I've ever seen and flatten it into reskinned find-and-replace fanon slop archetypes of "teehee so #toxic but I Can Fix Him"

do Gravity Falls fans actually not like the source material, am I offended at them impugning Alex Hirsch's honor right now

[theoryofweirdness]

May I please recommend ckret2's excellent fix "Wasting Away in the Goldilocks Zone," then? While it *is* a "Bill reincarnates and ends up in the Shack" fic, the crucial difference is that he wasn't sent there deliberately so the Pines could redeem him (which I also think is stupid), but rather escaped from the Theraprism and unsuccessfully attempted to take his revenge on the Pines, and now they've got him trapped and must figure out what to do with him.

so like. he tried to fit into a box for which he was the wrong shape, and it hurts him to be in the box. the obvious solution is to leave the box. but it’s not that simple. the life he has made for himself depends on his ability to be inside the box. if he leaves the box he will lose everything. there are people in the box that he loves and wants to be with. they love him in the box. it’s so wonderful in there. if he leaves the box he won’t be able to be with those people anymore. worse, he will be actively hurting them if he leaves the box. and he loves the box. good people fit in this box. maybe there are good people who don’t fit in the box, but, well. it’s just easier if he’s in the box. he wants the good things that come with it. the security. the normalcy. all the love. and he worked hard to get in this box, damn it. everyone said someone with his shape couldn’t fit in the box, well, he got in there. what would it say if he bailed now? so he’ll stay in the box. even though it hurts. even though his edges pierce through the sides, tearing the box apart. even though the longer he stays, the more he fidgets, the worse the tears become. the more severe the consequences. he can’t deal with those consequences. if he leaves the box he’ll have nothing. he left everything behind to be in this box. it doesn’t matter. he’s got to stay in the box. he loves the box so goddamn much. it has to work. it has to work

ford as a child: i have the whole world ahead of me :) with my brother as my companion i will surely succeed ford as a teenager: ok so familial companionship didn't work out so great. kind of ruined my chances at success. but there are other kinds of companions ford in college: is it possible to have companionship AND succeed????? ford watching his best friend get married: ok i get it. i am not fit for human companionship. but maybe this inhuman thing i found in a dank cave which everybody says is gross and nasty can help me succeed ford calling his best friend: no i know i cant have human companionship. this is only for success reasons i prommy (<- lying) (<- he is lying) (<- bill's miserable excuse for friendship is different but ultimately unsatisfying) (<- he is desperate for human companionship) ford in the portal: i can neither have success nor companionship. the only option for me is fixing my mistakes or die trying. probably the latter

#ford post weirdmageddon: i have the whole world ahead of me :) with my brother as my companion i will surely succeed

[fordford]

ok i don't actually want to be mean. i just think that's an oversimplification at best and a misunderstanding at worst. his story is not one of "the real treasure was your family all along!". intentionally or no, stan did genuinely hurt ford, and even though they are making amends at the end, that sort of thing doesn't go away. sometimes your relationships with people are permanently changed. that's not to say they will never be good again, but to say they will be the same as they were before everything else happened is not just naïve, it is impossible.

if you wanted a happy ending for this post, i think a more realistic one is "there are people in this world who care about me, and i care about them. i am a human, and therefore i am deserving of human companionship. perhaps the success i am looking for is found in the companionship of others. the only way to find out is to continue living."

The Laptop Serial Code

Spoilers ahoy! Don’t read if you aren't caught up on Gravity Falls.

So Disney XD gave us small gift to dissect during the Hiatus. I’m talking about Old Man McGucket’s Conspiracy Corner of course! While everything else was pretty much jokes about the fandom between the episodes and theories already mentioned by fans this one here caught my attention.

Now the idea that the serial code is a real place had me thinking. M052584 can be turned into coordinates “M 052 584″. So search on Google Maps and what do I find.

OKAY! Now what does this have to do with McGucket? Gravity Falls is in Oregon and miles away! Well we know Fiddleford is actually quite skilled at engineering and he worked with a visiting researcher. There is also quite a lot of hints about space travel in the series.

For example the portal in the basement has a resemblance to the Stargate from the series by that name and has symbols that refer to specific stars in the sky.

(Above from Disney Wiki) (Below from Wikipedia)

There is also the recurring UFO imagery, in the opening and through out the show but my favorite is this.

(posted to reddit by swimatm a year ago)

We also have the IRL evidence that someone in NASA has probably made a deal with Bill (or is at least a GF fan or Illuminati member or both).

Okay brain that’s enough crazy conspiracy fuel for one night.

i want to write something nice and meaningful about fiddleford not hating gubby but i have to pack so this is all i have in me

transcript/screenreader version below cut because it's kind of long

image ID: a screenshot of a text file i wrote of a quarter-assed fanfiction about fiddleford and the shapeshifter. many words are misspelled and there are countless grammatical and punctuation errors. end image ID.

screenreader-friendly image transcript:

once upon a time fiddleford was hanging out in the bunker. bunkers are man-made underground spaces so you would think it would be really cold because places that are underground are usually cold. well you would be right but fiddleford was really hot today in the bunker because he was working so hard and sexily. he was sticking out his nonexistent ass as his head was buried in some machine thing i don't know engineering.

suddenly ford came up behind him. "hello" said ford.

"agh" said fiddleford and he was startled and banged his head against the machine and got a huge concussion and lost consciousness for a couple hours. but when he came to ford was still waiting there patiently so they continued their conversation. "what's up."

"look at this thing i found" said ford and he held up a pile of slime.

"that's disgusting waht is that. is that like a dead jellyfish" asked fiddleford. just then the slime moved! and took the shape of the wrench that fiddleford was holding (i forgot to mention he was holding a wrench but trust me it was there the whole time).

"what the hell is that." said fiddleford.

"it's a shapeshifter ❤️" said ford and he held the wrench up to his his lips and kissed it tenderly. for a split second fiddleford felt a little bit jealous of a wrench but stopped feeling that way because it was stupid. "i am going to raise it as my son" finished ford.

fiddleford watched as the wrench changed back into a grub thing and it jumped onto his head and started sucking on his open head wound. "idk it's kind of ugly" he said.

ford frowned. "fiddleford... i thought you of all people would be more accepting of guys who are a little bit different..." he said gayly.

fiddleford felt bad he didn't want to make ford feel isolated. and the grub was actually making his open head wound feel better or maybe he was just getting numb to the pain from blood loss. "well okay 🙂" said fiddleford and then they raised shifty as their child and lived happily ever after. the end. end transcript.
