literally pinning down that old man for "Ford Gets Held Down" day by @candycatfalls, i'm a day late but i can do what I want because i said so. Enjoy some Bill Cipher, BCE (Boredom-Certified Entomologist)

Meet Ford and his "not at all menacing brother who would punch anyone that came to close"

so how about that comic we all know and love by @stump-not-found

I literally can't stop thinking about what would've happened if Stan died before or during the portal incident. Because there were so many instances when it could've happened, whether with Ford involved at all or not.

Because I know it would completely break Ford, no matter the circumstances. Just the realization that they would never reconcile, that the last time they talked would be the argument the night Stan was kicked out. And that would be it. No more second chances. No more holding a grudge and waiting for Stanley to apologize. All of that would be over and destroyed.

And a part of Ford would be completely gone forever, together with the ability to be truly happy. No matter what he would do, it would just feel wrong, the fact that Stanley isn't there and would never ever be there. Just the fact that he himself is still alive.

He would keep living though. Not that he wouldn't consider ending it all. But ultimately he would not. If only because, without him, who would even remember Stanley? Their mother perhaps, but, after all, she would still have other sons, grandchildren, things to worry about, ways to distract herself from mourning. She cares, but not as much as Ford does. He would refuse to forget and find distractions. And so he would see himself as responsible for making sure Stan's never forgotten, even if it's far too late. That's all he would be left to do, the only way he'd be able to help.

All of his great aspirations would be forgotten. He'd earn just enough money to keep himself alive and that's it.

As for his family... I don't think he'd communicate much with them, not because of Stan's death but because of the life he had lead. Because, upon his brother's passing Ford would definitely find out that he was homeless and struggling. Soon would follow, the discovery that their family knew and did nothing to help, just let it happen. (And i believe they, at least the parents, pretty much did. What else would you expect to come to a 17 yo boy kicked out into the street, with only a duffle bag and no highschool degree?). I guess Ford wouldn't be against being in his nephew's or his grand niblings' lives. Maybe Sherman's. But their parents' is a no go.

Kudos to @aroace-get-out-of-my-face and @inkyrainstorms for their posts on this lol. God am I mentally ill about this old man. There isn't really anything interesting or new about this post, just a stream of consciousness, so I can get all of these thoughts out and be free. So I'm sorry for tagging you here, but I would feel bad not to😭

^ how it feels to draw right now

the fact that bill chose the great gatsby out of all texts is so so so so compelling to me. brother you just bared your soul to every gay lit student worth their salt. now all of china knows you fruitlessly chase an unachievable ideal that you insist must involve the love of your life that does not care about you with that same vigor

@f-imaginings YOU. YOU GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GET ITTT.

Us English lit nerds need to stick together!!

(also if you enjoyed the character analysis I did write a big ol fanfic that might interest you if you have spare time and like fun characterisation. I'll drop a friendly little link here)

If I was a billionaire for a day I truly only would be a billionaire for less than a day because I would be doing an anti-Mr beast challenge of “how fast can I spend 1 billion dollars” because the only moral way to be a billionaire is to then hot-potato your way out of being a billionaire as fast as possible by giving away to worthy causes. I’d become reverse Elon Musk and buy Tumblr to hire all the staff back and threaten to rename it “Y” for the bit. I would set the world record for blowing a billion dollars in under 5 hours and giving to every fundraiser on this entire site and it would be worth every penny

Put your kids to work day

I stopped scrolling and unmuted out of curiosity when I saw it was a video and BOY AM I GLAD I DID 👀

i do think that a lot of people mistaking moral ocd for having a moral compass is understandable but also a bit funny. why does your moral compass involve fearing the invisible watchful specter who may be judging your every move lest you make your intentions clear at every turn and over explain your actions. you dont have to answer this question

catholicism 2

do you think the person who is asking you 'so you think all (demographic) are evil and should die?' is asking you a question with the intent to have a conversation or just wants to inflict as much psychic damage on you as physically possible. and do you think developing a jaded and cynical witty response system to this is actually the answer or is it removing the means through which random people online can torture you for their amusement. you do not need to answer this question to me

its true that there are times you need to feel bad because you have made a mistake and that discomfort makes you want to change. but you really have to think if you feel bad and fearful all the time are you changing because you actually genuinely believe in it and want to do it or are you scared of punishment

and how could fear of punishment be used to someones advantage. and how does a system that relies on punishment keep the dogs snapping lest they be the next one used for feed

uou get me

lot of people are going to be sent careening three posts down their dash and crashing into a brick wall because of this post

REBLOG if you have amazing talented artist friends!

"I'd sell my left kidney for a carton of eggs right now." Stanley's joints popped as he stretched

"I agree," his brother chuckled in the affectionate way old people often do. He's been getting really into toast with sprinkles lately. "it costs an arm and a leg nowadays."

"Yeah. Too bad I already sold the right one."

In one millisecond Stanley will have to recall everything he's ever known about the Heimlich Maneuver.

its just embarrassing when you make a fandom related post and it doesnt get any notes like okay. so no one want to play tuoys with me. no one wants to play with our little guys together. okay thats fine. yeah its cool... puts my hands in my jacket pockets. kicks a beer can that was on the side of the road a little

No you’re obsessed
