I love how this is all from Fords perspective. You barely get to see Bills frustration and emotions through his ford relationship, which a lot of people have been touching on, but this makes it feel so much more manipulative and terrifying, and you realize how little Ford had control over the situation from the moment he summoned bill. The lack of sleep and weeks he spent trying not to fall asleep wasn't just some noble cause to save the world from bill, he was absolutely terrified and traumatized from the amount of torture bill put his body through, he has no idea what bill does, unless he tells him.
"You're slowly killing me and yet I don't mind" this is me with Ford's angst. It hurts my heart but OH do I love how it hurts. But in all seriousness, animatics like this make me glad that in the end Ford with people who ACTUALLY care about him.
As much as I love Billford fluff, the angst, and harsh reality, is my kind of thing. I like the way people portray Bill’s manipulative, and at times straight up abusive, “love” and the way Ford worshipped him in hopes of love and attention. As much as it hurts, I understand him.
Honestly I’m not that big a fan of the fluff either because it just ignores everything Bill did to Ford. I guarantee if Bill wasn’t a silly triangle and their past (and the abuse) could’ve been actually thoroughly shown in the show (I understand why it wasn’t cos of course it’s a kid show), not nearly as many people would ship it.
Same like if Ford was my irl friend, I would make it my personal mission to kill Bill in the most painful way possible, but he's not so I'll indulge in the shipping (both fluff and angst)
The way Ford looks so heartbroken and confused at 1:47 makes me feel sooo bad for him omg ... I love / hate how well this video shows just how much Bill emotionally manipulated him!
And he blamed himself for not listening to people warning him about it when he had an abuser literally in his head with access to his thoughts and changing his mind.
in the book there was a moment when he (Bill) in Ford's body called Stan and wanted to tell Stan that Ford wanted to k1ll himself, and that it was his fault
@@Sauavin yeah that whole part of the book is brutal. It shows how much Bill regressed. And the worst part about it is Bill manages to regress MORE. He abused Ford but he still shows mercy to him and doesn't actually want to kill him. Weridmageddon Bill was definitely going to kill not only Mabel but all of the pines after he got what he wanted. He definitely would've disposed of Ford after he got the solution.
Wowowowowow this perfectly encompasses the reality of their relationship, the betrayal, the abuse, the descent into paranoia that wasn't really paranoia because it was justified. A masterpiece
Well, another masterpiece to come out of this fandom! I adore the way you depicted Ford being so helpless upon realizing how toxic and manipulative his relationship with Bill was. Especially the body horror aspects of being possessed and having no control. Ford's perspective is something I always love to see. And your art style is beautiful :)
Bro something about him all huddled up in a ball in his mind dimension like that is just heartbreaking. It shows how helpless he is. Bill will just keep hurting him and hurting him and killing him and threatening him until he builds the portal which he knows is wrong. He doesn’t have anyone to support him because being with bill drove the only person he had away
I love how the line 'maybe I'm just an anomaly' is paired with Ford looking at his hand. Also, this animatic has been playing on loop in my head since I watched it yesterday afternoon - it's so beautiful and heartbreaking. I've barely been able to think of anything else; incredible work. Thanks for creating something worth obsessing over.
Oh my god. this is criminally underrated. I have yet to see a billford animatic that has touched on their dynamic like this, and has effected me so strongly. This is jaw-dropping animation, the continuity is flawless, as well as the emotions and storytelling. Thank you for putting this masterpiece into the world. Now excuse me while I watch it 300 more times.
While we are all joking and goofying around with ford/bill love memes(guiiltyy~) this absolutely legend took this theme extremely seriously and made a psychological masterpiece out of it. My respect!🎉
This and My Goodybe are the best billford animatics I’ve seen! I love how this is all from fords perspective, and it shows how terrible bill really was for him. That, on top of the fact that he has absolutely no one to talk to and receive comfort from is so terrible. He was quite literally driven mad from sleep deprivation, isolation and abuse. I know some people think he’s a bad person, but this really shows the pain he went through and why he’s so cautious to trust people. I just wish I could give him and bill a hug. (Might want to strap mr. tophat to a chair though, or he’ll remove my legs.)
I've watched this about 14 times by now, and it chills me to the bones every time. The way you depict Ford with so much care and understanding just about makes me feel like I need to crawl out of my skin. Some traits in his character I can relate to, which makes this all the more gut wrenching. Incredible job with the fluidity and wonderful pacing, I'm in awe
Madilyn mei and gravity falls !? This is too perfect Also i love how this potrayed how manipulative and harmful bill was to ford, leading him to even push away the only person who truly cared about him; fiddleford. Heartbreaking but marvelous
This is genuinely one of my favourite/ if not my favourite animatic to come out of this fandom. The nods and references, the clear narrative, the small characters driven behaviours and expressions; it’s simply perfect. Your animatic style is so crisp and atmospheric and professional looking. Rest assured you’ve found a fan
I just want to give appreciation to the punching animation- THAT WAS SO GOOD- DRAWING PUNCHING LET ALONE ANIMATING IT WITH SUCH GOOD TIMING IS SO HARD BUT THIS IS SO GOOD???? This whole animatic is so good and vivid, but my artist brain is so fixated on that moment oh my god- Also "I was never meant to win" while the laughter in the song increases- VIVID.... ESPECIALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF STANFORD
This is the first time I listened to this song again since Book of Bill, and instantly upon seeing the thumbnail I went, oh no, this is in fact perfect. and what lovely images and emotions to accompany that thought
this is by far the best animatic/animation about stanford i’ve seen. the art the animation, the little details!!! keep up the amazing work! this is a masterpiece.
This is beautiful, the angst, the hurt. The feeling acid dripping to my hearts. Poor Ford, everything just keep going poorly simply because of the consequences of other and his own action, the world just not really convenient, it not fair. His brother accidentally destroyed his project and everything goes down hill from there, even if either forgive each other, outsiders(his asshole of an father) wouldn't give time for it. Then bill, he didn't know, even if he should know better, he didn't deserve this, being tortured in his own body and the consequences of it. Time just isn't merciful for him
Madilyn Mei AND gravity falls! I’m actually obsessed with this. The way you interpret this and the drawings relating to it is amazing! I love this so much! It’s so full of emotion.
I keep coming back to watch this again and again. just... yeah. I love Ford, I love the little detail of his eye being gunked up, I love the very present heartbreak you see in him, I also just love the way you draw him. The "I was never meant to win" part especially makes me think of Ford in journal 3 coming to terms with the fact he *wasn't* meant to be the big hero, and just being content being a hero's brother. I'll probably watch this another 50 times just because its so good. thanks for sharing!
oh- that was amazing,I am... flabbergasted. My favorite animation ever,the animation is so good,the expressions are amazing,each moment and how's it's shown is so well drawn and thought,I love this
IM A HUGE GF AND MADDILYN MEI FAN, I'VE NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH THIS SONG FITS FORD!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIMATICS EVER, I LOVED EVERY SINGLE MOMENT; AND YOUR ART STYLE IS SO CLEAN!!!!!!
That "I was never meant to win" hits different when you see he was told he had "the face of the man destined to defeat bill cipher." His *brother's* face, as he had to wipe out the two most important people to him.
i'm not joking -- i've watched this animatic at least fifteen times by now. in the span of two days. the song's got stuck in my head, the animatic has stuck with me, and i've shared it with all of my other gravity-falls-hyperfixated friends. i've probably watched this on my school computer five or so times. the fluidity, the expressions, the perspectives, the composition, the muted colors, the small details; everything about this is so eye-catching, and appealing, and i catch something new each time i rewatch. this is such a gorgeous animatic, seriously!
dude. you probably won't see this but i just wanted you to know how fucking amazing this animation is. literally the best gravity falls animatic i've ever seen???? this is so incredible. i can't stop watching it. thank you so much for this lovely art :D
i--this is amazing this--perfectly captures ford's downfall--and i'm kinda glad you didn't shy away from the more gruesome moments--actually I think it only further captures just. how. terrifying it must have all been for him--and the fact he seems so lonely--no sight of his parents, or of stanley, only brief glimpses of fiddleford--hell even bill appears sparingly I feel like you show him possessing ford more than the triangle himself he feels so isolated and small and just--puppeted through the universe it...makes so much sense why he spent so long scrambling for validation, yet also oh so willing to isolate himself...because how can you trust anyone when for so long the only one you could trust is yourself? (see this is the shit im talkin about you KNOW an animation's good when it makes you get all philosophical and poetic) (or it could just be the late hour. perhaps a bit of both lol)
This is such a masterpiece. My heart is torn apart from how accurate and beautifullyy done this is PLUS it's one of my favorite songs ever Also i love how you draw Ford SO MUCH Thanks for blessing me with this 🥹

Side note: i love the detail of Ford's right eye being visibly busted up from the point he made the deal with Bill onward
"You're slowly killing me and yet I don't mind" this is me with Ford's angst. It hurts my heart but OH do I love how it hurts.
But in all seriousness, animatics like this make me glad that in the end Ford with people who ACTUALLY care about him.
I thought the lyrics were “you’re slowly killing me, taking your time”?
@@suzannejucaitis8431 yes. But later it changes slightly to what I wrote
@@bigjok3929 oh. Sorry. I think you’re right though!

It's brutal and real
Me toooo!

I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH THIS SONG FITS THEM AND ITS SOOOO NENENE
The way Ford looks so heartbroken and confused at 1:47 makes me feel sooo bad for him omg ... I love / hate how well this video shows just how much Bill emotionally manipulated him!
RIGHT?? The artist did so good I could practically feel how betrayed ford felt
And he blamed himself for not listening to people warning him about it when he had an abuser literally in his head with access to his thoughts and changing his mind.
"How many times have you watched this?"
About as much as the amount of years Bill has been alive
ford likes older men
@@urlocalweirdodotcomunderstatement-
The nail hammered into the hand is BRUTAL. Its a cartoon sure but just imagine that, imagine that pain. Holy hell
in the book there was a moment when he (Bill) in Ford's body called Stan and wanted to tell Stan that Ford wanted to k1ll himself, and that it was his fault
@@Sauavin yeah that whole part of the book is brutal. It shows how much Bill regressed. And the worst part about it is Bill manages to regress MORE.

oh geez.. :///
@@Sauavin but I'm pretty sure it also mentioned that the line wasn't working, so nothing was heard
@@EcoMeeco2 ya, I just forgot to mention
"That's because I was knock knocking your head against the wall 😀" is peak comedy ✨

My favorite toxic old man yaoi
THIS IS NOW ONE OF MY TOP THREE FORD AND BILL ANIMATICS OF ALL TIME OMGTHIS IS WAY TOO UNDERRATED
Bro something about him all huddled up in a ball in his mind dimension like that is just heartbreaking. It shows how helpless he is. Bill will just keep hurting him and hurting him and killing him and threatening him until he builds the portal which he knows is wrong.

Simply built different
This is so good bro the song fits so well im in love with how you presented their relationship and the focus on fords role as being a pawn to bill
Billford animatics NEVER disappoint
WAIT WHY WAS THIS ACTUALLY A MASTERPIECE
Noooooo not him pushing the 6 fingered gloves away!
