as much as it's likely the animators just not knowing the rules of chess, i like to view it as ford witnesses bill cheating right off the bat, so he does the same to test the waters. bill continues like normal so ford accepts that theyre playing dirty and thats why he smiles :^)
both ford and bill cheated in their first game of chess, ford by moving the queen piece and bill by going first despite him playing black and ford playing white

(i couldnt find if theres a specific tag for the evil ford au sorry!!) werewolf ford design by @/chenniedol
im tired of seeing ford be villainized so muchh especially when his shitty actions are almost always brought up in tandom with his ego/npd coding.. treating ford like this evil villain in sweet baby fiddleford / stan's lives is just such a gross mischaracterization of all three

i headcanon that visually, bill can only tell the stan twins apart based on their clothes/glasses and the brand that stanley got during their fight and that's why he couldn't tell the difference between them in weirdmagedon. this guy is NOT attuned to human physical attributes!
@skelunker
tbh i am thinking about this all the time. i know it's become a little silly meme but the face he makes right after he does it, with this biggest frown on his face fully believing his brother is gone forever and it was his fault and his finger on the trigger... it's so upsetting

#billford
pre and post canon doodles from an au of mine where everything is pretty much the same except they get to be happier-ish for once. slight warning for suggestive themes?

@FregnerLy
fandoms cannot handle nuance or morally complex characters and gravity falls has never been an exception, unfortunately. it doesnt help that it's a childrens show so its darker, more complex themes never really get to be fully explored, only hinted at or briefly touched upon
alright another update! all the bill designs are finalized! if your bill isnt here, just know i plan to do a bigger billford piece in the future using all the designs i couldn't use here!!

im sorry but they're all three grown men who have their strengths and flaws and all of them have made selfish mistakes that have hurt those they love. but they learn and grow and are forgiven and loved anyways and that's part of why gf feels so human and so hopeful.
it just feels so weird for the fandom at large to seemingly give the main antagonist more compassion and understanding than the man he intentionally abused and manipulated for years. does no one find this weird.
as much as i adore villain ford..... im now thinking about villain stan. au where stan actually hits it off with one of his money making schemes and becomes a rich entrepreneur. bill seeks him out due to his monetary influence and has him tru to convince ford to build the portal
it just feels like the conversation around ford as of late has lacked a lot of the nuance that is given to fiddleford, stan and even bill, and it's weird to witness. can we all just acknowledge that theyve all made mistakes and were able to learn and grow (except for bill)
i need to draw other gravity falls characters. i need to. i love all of them and it's criminal that i have barely drawn any of them. pls help me decide who i should draw
doodling my human bill... post canon bill putting on weight as he grows more comfortable with the pines and in his own skin.. his physical growth coinciding with his mental growth and progress in healing and being happier <3 ford loves to see it so much

switcharoo au! had this idea and had to scribble it out before i lost it :^] i hope to sketch out my ideas for human henchmaniacs and demon pines soon!

guys if someone does ask about billford can we please be normal and not blow up on them. especially if they ask a respectful and open ended question. itd be weird to ask something like 'is it canon' but i think its equally weird to pretend like there wasnt intent at all in tbob
reposting bc i dont want to actually put this in the tag. based off a dream i actually had about mr bill pines trying to show off and causing an accident (except he gets to wake up from it unlike in my dream)
speaking of my bill, i did some silly doodles that i really like w/
@FloeFlan
's bill :3 i love that he canonically uses a flip phone that triangle is Gay!

im so sorry for being annoyingg im trying to be more confident in leaving comments, esp under art i appreciate but i fear i just end up being obnoxious orz
@MinksStinks_
thank youu omg. it's been weird to see people treat ford like he is an abuser comparable to bill just bc there are parallels in their dynamics and ur right so much of it is coming from speculation being taken as canon. it's been weird to see this characterization for both of them
@wilted_weaping_
it's not water in there ;^] it's not any liquid found on earth. it's some secret concoction that naturally cleans and replenishes itself. it increases the intensity of the high but it's part of why inhaling the smoke is so painful for humans
i cant believe bong cipher and my rambling about billford chess headcanons boosted me to 500 followers before i could finish billford-pa-looze for 300..... anyways thanks for 5 followers !
whoah holy shitt um?!?! thank you for 1200?? i have barely had time to finish up something for 1k... you guys are wild. thank you so much. im killing him to celebrate!
you know what. sure. i'll officially do one of these. i'll close replies in like 5 hours unless i dont at least 6 responses by then. ;)
#drawyourbillcipher
a little wild to me that people are still of the mindset that stan shouldve permanently lost his memories, 'dying' in a way because it makes the sacrifice more meaningful. like.. this is one of the most tragic characters (right after fiddleford) who spent his entire life-
au where stan becomes jaded to his family after being kicked out and shunned so he has no qualms with manipulating ford. he can see right through bill's conman-esque lies and manipulation but he simply doesnt care bc bill help his business flourish. are we seeing the vision.
tbh i dont even think he would be truly evil. it's genuinely pretty difficult to picture an actually evil stan unless you radically change his backstory and motivations. in this he just turns his hurt into spite and the fact that he actually succeeds only fuels his drive.
