old man mcgucket is the loneliest person in all of gravity falls. and it’s not by choice. i mean, he’s always walking around town and trying to talk to people, but who wants to talk to that crazy guy? he’s creepy. not even his own son wants to talk to him. people just avoid him. 30 whole years and nobody ever reached out to help him. he was probably too far gone in the first place, honestly.
with nobody to talk to, it’s not really a surprise that he builds those weird robots to cope. it’s the only way people will give him any attention, recognition, or to just look in his direction at all. nobody cares about his other inventions, but those robots get him put in the news all of the time. not to mention the fact that people only started paying attention to him after he saved us during weirdmageddon. even then, most people care more about what stan and ford did. maybe he should’ve tried harder.
now that he’s regained his mind and ford is with him, people treat him more like a human. but i think they still talk behind his back. only reason they don’t say it to his face anymore is because they’re scared of ford. ford is a hero. you don’t want to get on his bad side. just put up with the guy he’s with, even if you don’t want to. nobody really wants to. the only reason he even got on the path to recovery is because dipper thought he was the author. dipper didn’t even plan to help him at all. he just wanted to look for more information.
hes lucky to have ever been given a second chance.
if it weren’t for ford he would still be a nobody.
it probably would’ve been better that way
then everyone could continue to ignore him.
like they always have.
this is canon.
ok i have another ford headcanon. what? its nwhs birthday still? ohhh. yeaah. this is totally related to that. happy 10 years of ford or whatever. this is definitely for that and i planned this ford pines is a trinket guy. this man has 12 shelves full of just little things. figurines, stickers, posters, prints, pins, magnets, plushies. he has it all. tardis figurines. doctor who posters. star trek posters. mothman plushies. pine trees everywhere. even mcguckets inventions that hes gifted to him (THEYRE MARRIED) are put on display. he loves having stuff to look at. he loves collecting shit. every little gift hes ever received is lovingly placed on a shelf or wall. you cant see out of the back window of that mans car from the amount of stickers and decals (probably to the point where its technically illegal but that never stopped him). you cant trust that man unsupervised in a store because he WILL be making impulsive purchases (or just stealing them. you know his pockets are filled to the brim with random stuff everytime he leaves a place.) he loves it. he loves it so so so so so much. he probably has a fuck ton of piercings and accessories and jewelry too. he loves decorating himself. its so much fun for him are you kidding. stan wears flashy shit for the sake of showing wealth. ford does it for the love of the game.
they are so immensely scuffed bill stop mocking me i cant draw with a mouse ok
look at me im so important.
hello appreciation post for @tatefan811 and @spleenthecat because ive been laughing my ass off
this therapist told him to think more positive thoughts.
picturing stan confronting bud gleeful except its just the opening to candy store from the heathers musical.
i already posted for fiddleford friday but im thinking so hard right now im thinking about ford and dipper parallels. then it hits me. dude. fiddleford warned ford about the portal, and what did ford do? ignore him. and what happened? it almost caused the end of the world like he said it would. fiddleford warned dipper about the portal at the end of the northwest mansion mystery. what did dipper do? ignore him. what happened? the end of the world almost happened like he said it would. oh. my god. will someone just hear this man out for two god damn seconds. miscommunication must run in the pines family or something because what the fuck. and fiddleford probably didnt even remember the original portal situation yet at this point. imagine the weird feeling of deja vu he probably felt right then. but he couldnt really place where it was from. and like it was SO similar. both times he was warning the "smarter" person about the portal, and more specifically bill, and they both flat out ignored him despite how obvious the dangers really were. it kind of makes me wonder how NWHS would've turned out if someone actually fucking listened to fidds for once. maybe then stan wouldve had time to explain everything. maybe then fidds would have some amount of credibility. for being right. and its not like dipper ever apologizes to him for not listening?? at least not from what i remember lmao. fidds gets fucked over so badly at every turn. like what the fuck alex. what did the smart little hillbilly ever do to you.
me fighting my conscience for the 3894th day in a row to not draw sexy stan for. whatever reason
so i was reading the dipper and mabels guide to mystery and nonstop fun when i came across this. and i was like. huh. where have i seen this before. and then it hit me
your honor, i rest my case.
is this hard to see? too saturated maybe? idk just some dipper practice since idk how to actually draw him..
and an extra bipper as a little treat
fuck people from discord have discovered my existance YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
