Sometimes strange ideas come upđ But I like it. If you cross Bill and Axolotl, you get something cute
i'm so sad you ship billford.... im not gonna lecture you i just. sighs. i love your art so much this is really upsetting. :(((
We gonna have this conversation again?
At this point go take it up with Alex, cause itâs pretty much canon.
Itâs REALLY hard to ignore all the language surrounding Billâs relationship with Ford and how he pursues him, he follows the dating advice he gives in the book to a T
- Leaving dead rats/mice for Ford
- Ford is the only âpartnerâ that Bill is openly vulnerable with and gives him some insight to his past and his experience (also referring to him as a partner)
- The âLove Cageâ advice he gives, where he said go trap your date and sing them a song. And if you remember, Bill traps Ford in the Fearamid and sings to him âWeâll Meet Againâ, which was a song written for WWII soldiers who were away from their lovers
âIâm Your Puppetâ by James & Bobby Purify that Ford gets in his head, a love song, that also places Ford in his role in the relationship.
THE FLIRTING âyou can call me anything but late to dinnerâ, âI think Iâm starting to like youâ and saying the same thing then saying âjinxâ. GET A ROOM
Both got jealous when the other thinks theyâre with someone else. Ford thinking Billâs âinspiring another scientistâ when he doesnât see Bill for a few weeks, and Bill calling Fiddleford a âthird wheelâ.
Then when they break it off, Bill goes on a sad drunken rampage. Which you donât do for someone who you donât at least care about, especially not someone whoâs just a friend
Bill gives Ford 3 days to turn the portal on and asks himself âWhat was I, a saint? And why did I do it- some misplaced sentimentalityâ
Even Mabel basically said Bill has a thing for Ford âyouâre like a super needy exâ âgo crush on someone elseâs uncleâ
They were definitely more than friends, from what I see it was mostly one-sided on Billâs part.
Maybe Ford did feel something, it was definitely a relationship that made him feel good, more in tune with his brain and body, and gave him a big boost of confidence. He went to Bill for comfort when he was stressed and vented to him about stuff. Bill made Ford happyâŚwhile it was good anyway.
Was this a healthy relationship? FUCK NO!
Bill was mentally and physically abusive, manipulative, and possessive (LITERALLY). He spiked Fordâs drink after Ford said no to having one and got him fucked up. Bill took Fordâs body on a joyride and did horrible things to Ford that we see in the pictures and thing we DONT see in the video. All to make him comply and get the portal running. Calling Ford his PROPERTY.
But itâs a good story of overcoming an abusive relationship, which is great representation tbh, Ford is happier and has his family to love him now.
Normally Alex is great at leaving things up to interpretation, but I canât ignore the intentional and not at all subtle way he depicted Bill and Fordâs relationship. Thereâs even seeds of it in the interview with Hana and TGFF
Go take it up with Hirsch, cause Iâm just using what he gave me
hes trying
I remembered that I hadnât drawn them for a long time. Let these two happy faces please youâ¨â¨
đHappy Valentines Dayđ
Do not trust anyone
imagining fiddleford coming over to work on this huge project with his best friend and realizes that this man hasn't given himself a break in 6 years, constantly throws himself in dangerous situations without any regard for his safety, and hes pretty sure his friend is getting possessed by something he doesnt know what and fiddleford just
