Character
Name:Old Man McGucket Fiddleford McGucket
Series: Gravity Falls
Timeline: Right before Northwest Mansion Mystery.
Canon Resource Links: This one is very thorough.
Personality: Hoo boy. Old Man McGucket is, as they say, a piece of work. At his point in the timeline, he's spent thirty years being straight-up insane, and only recently has he begun to put himself back together. The process is far from complete, but he has the potential to make a near-total recovery.
Let's start with Sane McGucket. The man's a certifiable genius. Raised dirt poor on a Tennessee hog farm, he had a lot to prove when he went to college, but he never once felt ashamed of where he came from. Don't write him off as a stupid hick -- he's a brilliant hick. With his banjo and his drawl and his chewing tobacco habit, Fiddleford was unapologetically Southern. What he wanted most was to invent devices to improve people's lives, and maybe make enough money off the patents to live simply but comfortably. (He could have been Steve Jobs if Ford Pines, Professional Life Ruiner, hadn't pulled him into the portal project.) Despite a temper and a tendency towards spiteful retribution when he's been insulted, Fiddleford is a good dude. He really does want to help people, both in the abstract and specific: he's a darned good friend, and he'll work himself to absolute exhaustion for someone he cares about. He'll also resort to underhanded means to achieve goals: he started the most well-intentioned cult I think anyone's ever seen, and he erased the memory of his best friend in order to keep his memory gun invention. Fiddleford's a coward when it comes to real danger, not just interpersonal conflict: he's more than willing to let sleeping dragons lie rather than poke them with the scientific-inquiry stick. He's prone to panic and anxiety and nervous tics. He keeps his space neat, and disorder is a bad sign: if his cubik's cube is left unsolved, something is very wrong.
Insane McGucket happened because he couldn't stop using the memory gun. The cumulative effects broke his mind: within two years, he was divorced, kicked out of his own house, and entirely unhinged. Now Old Man McGucket lives in the junkyard, more than half feral, living off of whatever meat he finds and unable to recognize his own reflection. His Southern traits are exaggerated -- he'd be a caricature of a crazy hillbilly, except for the fact that he still invents and builds giant robots. He has zero social graces, saying whatever pops into his mind, and is happy just to have people pay attention to him. He knows on a real level that he's an embarrassment and a bother, but McGucket doesn't know another way to be, so he keeps on being him. He's easily manipulated and a poor judge of character, but he's also braver than before, in that fools-rush-in-where-angels-fear-to-tread way.
There are some key traits that surface in both mental states. One, McGucket will eat anything, and I mean anything. Irradiated milk, an entire raccoon, roadkill, his way out of a dinosaur's stomach -- it's frankly terrifying. Two, he desperately wants attention, and will do just about anything to get it. He still cares about his family, though they're deeply estranged. He's also always been kind of prone to oversharing. Three, he's got a vindictive streak -- he can be petty, bitter, and mean. He's always been capable of justifying his means, and when his inhibitions are gone, there's nothing stopping him from destroying ten city blocks because someone didn't come to his retirement party. And speaking of, four: he's a brilliant inventor and mechanic, and he's never stopped inventing and building. Trouble is, he's only recently started remembering things from before 1982, and he has a hard time still with technology he didn't build.
He wants to remember, though: that's one key difference between Fiddleford as a young man and as an old one. McGucket wants to put himself back together, and has made strides toward restoring his sanity, but he's still a little kooky, and probably will be for a good while.
