Sooo okay, can we talk about Tate for a minute. Because, according to the journal he was still back in Palo Alto when Fiddleford left for Gravity Falls, and then disappeared from his life. He was just a little kid when that happened. So I headcanon that Tate moved into Gravity Falls when he was older, for the purpose of checking up on his father. He tries to reconnect at first, wants to take his father in and give him a place to sleep. But Fidds, keeps running away, ranting and raving, sometimes not even recognizing him. Tate eventually gives up trying to bring him back home. He’s ashamed that his father is dubbed the ‘town cook’, and at what his dad has been reduced to. But he sets up a bait shop and starts a business, and makes the excuse it’s because baiting is his passion. In reality, he wants to stay in the town, and tries to keep tabs on his father. He had to make sure he wouldn’t disappear again. 

I wanted to give a little insight into how someone as smart as Ford could do something as monumentally stupid as joining forces with a demon like Bill. Everyone has blind spots, and Ford’s was his own ego. I think the world is full of people like Ford—”smart” people who become so in love with their own reflection that they end up losing the world around them.
