The fact Ford is no longer wearing his jacket in these photos has to be symbolic. It means Ford has opened up completely to Dipper and Mabel, and has re-opened to Stanley. Ford no longer has anything to hide from the family, therefore he’s no longer hiding under a jacket while having family moments.
the device is set to erase “stanley” so it makes sense that his memories are easy to recover, because he spends a lot of his time being “stanford”
when we see his mind burning he’s completely alone in the shack, away from everyone, free of his false identity; we’re seeing the pure “stanley” side of his mind, not the “stanford” impersonator we know and love
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
