Listening to the DVD commentaries for Society of the Blind Eye and here's a really interesting bit from Alex:
“Ford as somebody who lost Stan is kinda looking for—even though he rejected his brother, he kinda needs, he needs that other person, & he tried to find that in this kinda sweet prodigy [Fiddleford] & he just pushed him too far.”
and god.... ford?? tried to fill that gap in his heart when he rejected stan with someone else? almost sounds like a stancest fic, cuz literally where do we even see that happen??
trying to replace stan with people who remind him of him even??
that he'll keep looking for it no matter howw long??
god it's like he really needs someone by his side no matter what, and the only person who could really fill that gap
the only one who could EVER give him what he needs the most
is Stan😭
