i think it's unfortunate you cant really discuss the possible connotations of bills abuse of ford in an allegory for sexual abuse because everyone is so quick to defend their triangle when the room for that discussion is very present
i mean even without going into all the metaphorical mess with the possession theres just the straight up nonconsensual public nudity and sexually charged tattoo bill forced ford into getting
would i call the way these are played off in the canon tasteless? yeah. but regardless this did occur
and as for the possession. not only is it literally in this mentality of "you said yes the first time which means you say yes for every single time i do this to you/you cant take back your consent" that is very Indicative of something but this literally is a violation of fords body and control and anything at a fundamental level.
very good, now make them lesbians

Hear me out, i promise it's not as weird as it sounds lol. But in the Book of Bill there is an image where we can see Ford without a shirt looking like this:
Meanwhile in Journal 3 he writes this:
"I've spent the last 30 years keeping up and extensive exercise and diet regimen."
However when we compare his physique in the Book of Bill vs. The Show, we can see that his body seemingly hasn't changed. As you can see he even fits in the same jacket (which is impressive in it's own right after 30 years)
And yeah, in Journal 3 he wrote about the past 30 years, which means that picture was taken before he began his diet. For all we know he could hide a sixpack under that turtleneck lol. But I personally chose to believe that THIS (aka the first photo where hes shirtless) is his form of extensive exercise and diet.
And this is very personal to me because I basically have this exact same body type. I look rather skinny with clothes on, but without them there is quite a bit of fat. And no matter what I do (for example dieting or exercising like Ford) it stays that way. The only way to get rid of it is to literally not eat at all and we can all agree that this is neither healthy, nor sustainable. And it's nice to see that a healthy body doesn't have to mean that you're skinny, you can still have a bit of body fat and be in good shape!
I just find it nice to have my body type represented in a character that means very much to me, especially since I struggled a lot with it in the past.
I thought I'd share my thoughts because maybe other people can relate:)
Hc that Ford had a hard time finding food fit for human consumption on a regular basis while he was out there dimension hopping, so when he came back, he was pretty underweight. By contrast, Stan has put his own health on the back burner for 30 years to get the portal working again, so he’s not doing so hot in the health department either.
Anyway, I think that living at sea eating 3 meals a day and doing a lot of physical labor does wonders for them both. Stan loses weight, Ford gains weight, they both have that sparkle and zest for life back, and when they show up in Piedmont for Thanksgiving (Mabel sent them invitations) to their surprise, people have a hard time telling them apart. When they finally really LOOK at each other in the mirror, they look more like twins than they have in decades.

So Gravity Falls has quickly become one of, if not my favorite, shows on television right now. Like most, the latest episode had a huge impact on me. I loved everything about it, the writing, the animation, the visuals, the voice acting, characterization, etc. There was so much love and thought and talent that had gone into every aspect that it really inspired me to make an homage to my favorite scene. So I hope you enjoy! And join me in pensive agony as we wait for the next episode this summer.

So I’m updating this post! I’ve been seeing enough people re-discovering it that I figured I’d take out the broken link and put the rest of the pages up. Hope y’all enjoy =]
A mug is home.
Stanley Pines never really had a ceramic mug, ot was always those plastic and carton cups for his coffee and his coffee always tasted like shit...he always liked it creamier, with milk and sugar but that costed extra and caffeine is what kills his hunger easiest.
When he began living as Stanford Pines he used the dishes that were already there, finally he could carry around a steaming cup of coffee down to the basement, boring and white.
Then he became Mr Mystery and began selling mugs as part of merchandise: a classic ugly yellow with a question mark. A mug?
It was for customers only, or at least it was supposed to be but Stanley fojnd himself taking one for himself. He found himself dropping the Stanford act more and more because yeah it was a ceramic mug but it was HIS.
Then the little twins came along...by then things had changed a lot but it was never truly home. It was Ford's house afterall. Still, if Stan closed his eyes and ignored the many nights and early sunrises he spends in the basement, he could almost pretend it was a home.
He is one day handed a mug. It is glittery and messy and probably has materials that wouldn't be safe do drink from. It is his mug, given by the twins. It is HIS.
A ceramic mug is something you only get when you settle, when you plan to stay and wake up under the same roof for a long time. It is a promise of home.
A mug is home.
Later on, when Ford and Stan prepare to sail away, Stanley insists they shoukd make their own mugs from scratch.
I wanted to draw fish more than ford lol

Do we ever talk about how Stanley aged? And I don't mean in a "haha younger twin look older" kinda way, but just how much he ran himself into the ground?
Imagine what Ford was thinking once he got a good look at Stanley. Without the judgement or bitterness, without the haze. REALLY looked at him. His sunken eyes, his thinning and greying hair, the layer of chub that has accumulated on his torso and arms. The amount of scars and marks he had earned.
The realization of just how much Stanley neglected himself in favor of him. Neglected himself in favor of the kids, of the business, of everything.
Maybe even the realization of how HE would have looked, if Stanley didn't swoop in all those years ago. How HE would look if he had to fight sleep at night and work his ass off during the day like he planned. The realization that Stanley took all that burden, and he'd do it again for him in a heartbeat.
