I like going to the store along with my mom because she bestows shopping wisdom upon me and I like getting out of the house but also she could tell me and the really nice-looking worker were exchanging glances at each other from across the store and maybe I’ll just die now

doug eiffel is a car guy in the way that, like, he's got that pop culture attachment to the idealized great american road trip. there's not much eiffel dedicates himself to, but he learned to drive as soon as he could because having a car gave him freedom, and he valued that enough to care. he feels like the kind of person who has spent a lot of time sitting in his car listening to music, just to get away from... everything else. he's an analog guy; he can drive stick. he was made to go to drive-in movies. he calls the broken down shuttle he's stranded on - among other things - the "uss pontiac aztek", "uss ford excursion", and "uss reliant robin", so it's a reasonable bet he's got car opinions. monster trucks are on his list of things he misses about earth. he could be a nascar guy. eiffel was definitely living in an apartment, but if he had the space, he would love to be one of those guys with a bunch of rusted cars in his yard and an old truck up on cinderblocks. once zach said that if eiffel had money, he'd buy a motorcycle and tinker with it and never learn how to actually ride it.
"if eiffel had money" being the operative phrase. he used to drive a corolla - "that's the third warning. i'm not one hundred percent on how these oxygen meters work, but if they're anything like my old corolla..." - eiffel is a car guy in the sense he's got a list of dream cars, but they're all deeply impractical classic cars he just thinks are cool. in practice, he is driving the most 'dependable', most affordable cars possible, and he is not taking care of them. eiffel knows enough about cars that he could do his own maintenance, which means he won't pay someone else to do it, which means he's driving around with the check engine light on at all times. every car eiffel has ever driven has come like, pre-dented, permanently sounds like it's dying, and is just repulsive to be inside. it smells like old fast food wrappers and smoke in there. the back seat is full of miscellaneous garbage. the seats are stained and kinda sticky.

So not sure if it was asked before (my apologies if so) but after rereading Faking it I’ve been wondering if what happened to Ford would have happened to Dipper if they were to switch places. Like you mentioned in the fic how Dipper realizes that the main advantage he had and the reason he wasn’t tricked by Bill is that he, as opposed to Ford, knew that Bill was a demon from the beginning. So my question is would Dipper be able to see through the flattery and lies quickly enough on his own or it would be a case of pure luck as it was with Stanford?
This hasn't been asked before, and it's a nice question!
Ford and Dipper are both intelligent. They're both ambitious and clever! But Ford's... a little more full of himself, and less emotionally intelligent. He saw Bill's arrival into his life, took his pleasant polite demeanor at face value, coveted the power and intelligence and thought: Great! This is amazing! With this creature working by my side, I can do amazing things!
Dipper in the same situation would think: Great! This is amazing! ....wait a minute. 'Great' stuff never happens out of nowhere, or at least not for free. What's the catch?
Where Ford's ambition shows him vast opportunity, Dipper's cynical nature outlines all the possible traps. Even if there aren't any there! He'd be much more of a skeptic when it came to great stuff just. Being handed to him.
Overall, Bill could have fooled Dipper - but he would've had a harder time of it.

Pokemon Blight / Blur - Nuvema Gang Character Sheets
Aspertia Trio here.
A group of friends who, two years ago, journeyed the Unova region together; however, an undisclosed incident at the Pokemon League has changed their lives forever. In the absence of their Hero of Truth, they have decided to seek their own paths.
Hilbert Blackburn - An earnest youth from Nuvema Town, and Unova's Hero of Truth. His current whereabouts are unknown, as he's fled the region with Reshiram. Not many people, besides his secretive friends, seem to know the real him- outside of the fact he was very honest about his feelings.
Cheren Slater - Aspertia City's new gym leader, and the trainer school's teacher. He holds the truth to Hilbert's disappearance and what happened at the league that day, but refuses to share. The traveling companion and mentor of the Aspertia Trio.
Bianca Alabaster - Assistant to Professor Juniper and Fennel, and a protege of Lenora and Shauntal. She has a lot on her plate, particularly with investigating the legends of the dragons and exploration of the dreamworld. She has a keen eye for seeing the truth beneath the surface.
Hilda Weiss - A battle prodigy of Nimbasa City and the Battle Subway's most beloved regular, who had started her journey four years prior to the other three; as a result, she's the most experienced, and is considered an Ace Trainer. Somewhat cynical and grounded, but holds all her friends close to her heart.
