got shifty on da brain tonight (first comic inspired by this post)

#gravity falls #ford pines #stanford pines #fiddleford mcgucket #shifty #i know canonically they were wearing masks around him or w/e but i live in the beautiful world where shifty was just ford's weird ouppy #or alternatively his weird son. i'm torn because i'm so 🤔 about shifty copying ford's avuncular mannerisms but also #i talk to my cats like human children all the time. i perhaps think about this way too much

almost all of these are redos but if you compare them youd realise how necessary it was

I don't know if anyone asked, but how do you think about the Shapeshifter? Especially in Bill's perspective you can think of.

P.S. You gotta find this comic interesting. The problem would be, how to access Shifty's Mindscape?

https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/113688377238

So here's the story of Shifty as I see it:

A baby hatches alone on an alien planet, and is immediately seen as a wild animal and caged.

The only "parents" it's ever known keep it locked alone in the dark when they aren't around.

Even though its nature is to transform into anything it sees—and as a baby, with its mind still growing, it probably needs to be exposed to new forms for its developmental health—it's kept contained where it has very little fresh stimuli.

One of its "parents" wears a mask over his face so it can't learn what he looks like. Its other parent wants to just freeze it and leave it underground.

Even after it learns to talk and its parents know it's a sentient, intelligent being, nothing about its captivity changes.

Shifty has learned how to speak! A few words at first, but every day he’s been learning longer sentences. Increasingly, he asks “Who am I?”

It's searching for a sense of identity. It's asking for help from aliens who don't know what to tell it, and who give no indication that they want to help it find out.

It's only allowed to learn new forms from pictures in books. It knows one of its parents has several journals full of wondrous shapes it's never seen before. It's not allowed to look at them. It isn't given a good reason why. It's treated like a threat that can't be trusted with new forms—even when it's given them no reason to think it's untrustworthy.

And if it's going to be distrusted no matter what—for nothing except its born nature as a shapeshifter—why should it be trustworthy?

In desperation, it ties up its other parent (without hurting him) to fool its main parent. In return, they freeze it underground—and it's left there, abandoned and forgotten, for thirty years.

I truly believe Shifty became a monster because it was raised like a prisoner. Isolated, under-stimulated, inadequate enrichment for a child of any species; treated with academic curiosity, suspicion, and fear rather than with affection and care. Why wouldn't it have become a monster? What in its environment could have led it to become anything else?

Ford and Fiddleford weren't equipped to handle a new, living person; they treated it like an animal, and when they learned it was an intelligent being, they didn't change their treatment. As much as Ford sympathizes with "freaks," I think occasionally Ford forgets to respect the sentient ones as people—too caught up in his research to think about anything else. And I don't think Fiddleford's ever seen personhood in non-humans as anything but unnatural and a threat.

(As far as Bill is concerned—if anything, seeing how Ford interacted with Shifty may have made him underestimate just how strongly he'd fight against Bill's plans for his dimension. After all, he might not like Bill's plan, but it isn't like he really cares about anyone else in his dimension, right? Except Ford does care. He just... never really thought through what he was doing with Shifty.)

I think Shifty should be given a heartfelt apology and unleashed in Gravity Falls. Sure, it might commit murder and mayhem! But it was treated like a criminal when it was a baby who'd done nothing wrong. It deserves a second chance and a fair shot at living a free life. The humans don't have the right to keep it in indefinite cryogenic solitary confinement until it's actually proven such extreme measures are necessary.
