weirdmageddon:

@pinesinthewoods made a post earlier about this and I thought it was an interesting (and heartbreaking) parallel.

Ford was initially characterized in the fandom to be self-absorbed and only caring for the safety of himself but this parallel shows the complete contrary. Stanford takes the safety of his family as a priority more than anything else in the world. He was actually willing to make a deal with Bill and sacrifice the entire universe to save his niece and nephew from imminent death by the hands of Bill. He loves them unconditionally.
Even his brother Stan. Defeating Bill would mean having to wipe his brother’s memories clean, and he can’t even bear to look on at what he’s about to do. His hands are trembling violently. He doesn’t want to do this to his dear twin but there is no other way to be rid of the demon that has tormented him for over 30 years.

Meanwhile, Ford is perfectly calm while he’s being scanned by alien droids which are much more dangerous to his own safety. He doesn’t care about what will happen to him—what matters to him is the people he loves. Ford would be willing sacrifice his own life for anyone in his family in a heartbeat if they were put in the face of danger.
He was sort of an enigma at the time of his introduction, but his colors really began to show as of late, and this parallel really spoke to me. Throughout the finale Ford showed so much concern for the wellbeing of his relatives over his own, it’s not even funny.
