Old Man Mcgucket - Tumblr Posts
Presenting Episodic Reversal #2. I’d still love suggestions for outfits for Gideon and Pacifica, as well as everyone else in the Zodiac. I really need to figure out what to do about Robbie's look soon, but at this moment I’m at a complete loss.
guys im dying its not even fiddleford friday and i just rewatched every episode that had mcgucket in it i need help just one more day...
whenever i'm picturing like. a scene in my head with a character i always try to picture their actual voice actors voices because then it feels like i can. idk feel whether its in character or not?? idk how to explain it but when i think of fiddauthor (which i do often). i actually cannot picture it because wholesome gay people comfort and j.k. simmons' voice just do not go together. i need to like train my brain in order to really get his character and his voice in my head
guys im so sorry for posting angst on fiddleford friday but like... i have to talk about this can you imagine how stressful weirdmageddon was for him?? like dude. it would be like 15x as bad as during the construction of the portal. the entire town was counting on him to build this robot. not only does that include ford but probably most importantly tate. if he failed then his best friend and his kid would be trapped in stone forever, or destroyed, or whatever bill was going to do to them. and he wouldnt even get the chance to say goodbye or make up for his previous mistakes. if he was quintuple checking his equations for the portal, then imagine how many times he checked his equations when building the shack-a-tron. its also a really horrible loop because working on the thing made him stressed out about messing up, but building is also kind of his coping mechanism, so he builds to cope while stressing himself out even more. dude. give this man a hug. he should get a hug.
Fiddleford goes to physical therapy for his posture when Ford and Stan head out on the sea for the first time. months pass. Tate nags at him to do his exercises, and Stan drags his twin away from the deck to get some rest every 16 hours.
by the time the Stans get back to Gravity Falls, it's winter and the ocean is no longer a pleasant place to adventure; their bones are old and don't handle the cold too well. Soos drives out to pick them up from the port.
Stan notes an unfamiliar form standing at the shack when they arrive, "Hey Soos, what's with the new guy?"
"He's not new, Stanley-" Ford is plastered to his window in the backseat and opens the door before the car's in park.
"Sixer! What's the deal?!"
Stan swings the car door wide open, about to give his idiot brother a piece of his mind on how to behave in front of little, impressionable, kids. When he rounds the hood of the car, he's greeted with an image he hasn't seen for a long while: Ford hugging someone. Not just any someone- judging by Tate's proximity and the notable absence of a small, bearded figure- it's McGucket.
Except the old man's now tall. Taller than Ford. As if his height wasn't enough, he also looks completely different: the beard's cut short and there's no hat covering his bald head. Now he resembles the roommate in the photos Ford brought onto the Stan O'War.
Tate's completely changed, too. Not physically, but you can tell from the way he stands close to McGucket and has a small smile on his face. He finally has his dad back.
Ford, he supposes, got someone back, too.

will make sequels to this from Tate, Fidds, and Ford's POVs. not the exact same story, but different snapshots of the same transformations. follow the FiddlefordGetsPT tag if you want to get updates
this was originally just supposed to be a post about how Fiddleford was taller pre-Portal!Ford so like with physical therapy and better posture would he be taller again? how would Ford take it? yeah whoops it became this

This is all based on the storyboard i made for Kate Bush’s song Army Dreamers. I saw a Gravity Falls edit with these dorks in them and thought…”damn.” And decided to make it a thing
Same man I was before
Fiddleford McGucket from Gravity Falls is a parotraumagenic system
Fiddleford McGucket from Gravity Falls is a daisy gay
Au where Tate has a kid, because why tf not??

Hi hello fellow fiddauthor enjoyers. Here’s a fiddauthor comic with no fiddleford in it.
Bonus doodle under the cut:
