I really feel like I don't talk enough about what ford means to fiddleford. I usually talk about it vise versa, but ford was JUST as important to him. they were each others support back in college, and I think ford was probably fiddlefords first friend who he could match with on an intellectual level, setting ford apart from most other people.

I've drawn comics that represent how upsetting ford's lack of writing or phone calls between 1977-1981 were for fiddleford. I think it was something that weighed on him a lot from time to time. He would understand the reason why (ford's just not very good with socializing and he can't make him), but going from best friends for 4 years to no contact would be really difficult for him.

Maybe during that time, he viewed his and ford's friendship as something really fragile and was worried about pressing him to call more often? I can imagine the bond strengthens again in 1982, and they start to hang out again, but ford is probably someone completely irreplaceable to fiddleford who he cares about too much to lose. until he did

i think the funniest and realist thing i’ve realized lately is how troubling idealization can be. every person is just… a person. the very people you want to impress or be apart of are just people. even if they seem wildly intimidating because of the way they look or because of their reputation, every one is just a person. human. as embarrassing, as remorseful and they are going through stages of growth just like you are. we only see what we want to see and then drown ourselves further in our own depression and we don’t have to.

truly and i am learning the less i idealise others, the more willing i am to meet people where they are warts n all. and the more willing i am to show myself too and bring my whole self into things. my own embarrassment becomes a new normal and fine thing. stumbling becomes more endearing.

had a teacher once who told us “idealizing people is just as dehumanizing as demonizing them” and that stuck with me so much
