taps my mic. can anyone hear me. one of those aus where ford shoots stan in the chest or the head or eye or wherever with the crossbow during that one scene except instead of immediately apologizing etc, he thinks he's outsmarted one of bill's tricks by not reacting or grieving. something something being suspicious of stanley's cries of pain and then oddly still body and instead of acknowledging what's going on, he so firmly believes this is just another trick and this time, he won't be fooled. he knows better now. that can't be stanley's body. this is a nightmare or a hallucination (goodness knows he's had plenty of those lately) or a TRICK of some sort and for once he's not gonna let bill win. so he hunkers back down inside and keeps himself awake and waits for the real stanley to arrive and pushes away all contrary thoughts because bill's gonna have to try harder than those old cheap tricks to feed off of his paranoia. and outside stanley's body lays there and rots

im thinking really really hard about maps by tfb and i cant tell whether the whole song is about stan & ford's parting ways or ford and fidds or maybe?? ford and bill?? or even really if i go with the first one and its about stan and ford i could throw in some sea grunks... or it could just be generally centered around ford. thatd be interesting. i feel like ford and stan parallels can be pretty apparent using that song. hhmmmmm

something something but you were broken bad yourself and you were mad as hell, you felt if you had done anything with anyone else it woulda worked out so well /lyr

cut line from between when ford refused to join bill and when ford got turned into gold
