update on me bc I don't wanna ghost y'all:
-mental health is pretty OK, still having a hard time keeping up with the venting & stuff
-trying to check in on y'all's posts anyway in case there's anything serious
-found a 5 hour video defending Stanford Pines and my serotonin levels are set for LIFE take that Ford haters stop projecting on old men for sport
Ohhh this is gonna last me like . two weeks maybe
I'm literally so happy though because hopefully they're gonna talk about how displaying abusive tendencies and then realizing that and correcting them don't make you an inherently bad person, just someone with bad behaviors pressed on you
AND about the fact that Ford's had both Filbrick and Bill to abuse him :/
(and Caryn, not exempting her at all)
AND hopefully the fact that Bill barely even lied to him in the introduction. Ford's been told "you're special" and "you're gonna change the world" before, why would he disbelieve it when this godlike being is affirming all his hopes and dreams? Where are the lies here? The lies come later
AND the fact that Ford was seventeen, or, at best, just barely eighteen when Stan was kicked out and if Caryn couldn't dissuade Filbrick, Ford definitely couldn't have, so we should stop acting like this still-basically-a-kid had more power than, oh, I dunno, his parents
I have a lot of hopes for this video
Also Hana opened it by talking about more stupid takes on Ford and I am. pretty disappointed in tumblr
OH ALSO the fact that if I were electrocuted with, at least, 500 volts, for, at least, several hours, I, too, would correct someone's grammar. Grammar correction is pettily therapeutic and of course it happens with siblings.
Plus Stan was not blameless in that either
...still not over the theories
"Ford LET the cycloptopus into the room to SCARE the kids"
"Ford MADE/DELIBERATELY TRIGGERED the alien security system to TEST Dipper"
As Hana Hyperfixates has said, "Ford has done enough morally gray things. We don't need to make up more shit"
ONE OF FORD'S SINS IN THE VIDEO IS "-Didn't just let himself get eaten in the womb" HANA ARE YOU OK
Oh thank God they said they’re gonna talk about the psychological torture
“Ford had no idea he was in Icarus 2: Electric Boogaloo” this is killing me
bold of Hana to assume Stan would not be the absorbed twin like Bill said
did they actually end up talking about the psychological torture? The way you thought they would?
very good point Sigyn
and YES they did and it was great (well, i mean, torture is bad, but they gave it the weight it deserved and also talked about how trust issues/paranoia is not a moral failing, which i personally appreciate)
