*Looks at Ford Pines* I want to put you in red flannel pajama pants, a junk t-shirt and goofy socks

Me reassuring myself: it’s okay Ford Pines probably also calculated a -513.0 M HEPES solution in biochem lab it’s okay

HELLO?!!?!?!?!!!

[Image ID. A page from Gravity Falls Journal 3. It’s a section about “soothsquitos.” The author, Ford Pines, writes “Their bites spell out dire messages for your future, except they’re frequently misspelled. I was told to ‘BATCH OUT FOR WILL,’ which, as far as I can tell, is total nonsense!” Next to the text is a photo of a soothsquito, which looks like a regular mosquito but with three eyes. End ID.]

Something I haven’t seen enough people talk about is how different the Gravity Falls watching experience is after knowing about Ford. Like yes he does eventually come back and actively participate in the story later on but I think he’s an EXCELLENT example of a character who “haunts the narrative”

Okay so like what if Gravity Falls was like The Magnus Archives and instead of journals Ford took tape recorded statements from townsfolk about the strange shit in GF and he’d get into trouble with local creatures and it slowly made him more paranoid and antsy hey hey look at me and like Bill Cipher was there and let Ford borrow some of his power to use and Fiddleford would be his assistant can you hear me and they would work together on shit but when Ford leaned more on Bill and his powers he would start to erase some of his memories and get in with some other powerful being or beings and Ford had to go save him and hello can anyone hear me

Just take this and don’t think too much about it

Song: JOYRIDE by Kesha

[Video ID. A fan edit of Ford Pines from Gravity Falls to the chorus of Joyride by Kesha. It starts with a clip from Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future of Ford and Dipper at the UFO crash site. Ford says “now, use your magnet gun and follow me!” Dipper yells “great uncle Ford!” right as Ford jumps onto a wide support beam and the beat drops. Various clips of Ford, mainly ones where he’s holding a gun, change to the beat. The lyrics of the chorus are

“Rev my engine 'til you make it purr

Keep it kinky, but I come first

Beep-beep, bitch, I'm outside

Get in, loser, for the joyride

Making every motherfucker turn

Fell from heaven, no, it didn't hurt

Beep-beep, best night your life

Get in, loser, for the joyride”
