Ford could have been such a great villain... and Bill knew it.
It's no secret that Stanford Pines' fatal flaw is pride. He couldn't bear to destroy his work - even to make certain Bill couldn't get to earth - and he was paranoid about Fiddleford stealing his grand unified theory of weirdness. And when you have pride like that, it's not hard to step into entitlement.
Ford deserves happiness, doesn't he, and the world has been cruel to him. He's worked himself to the bone all his life, he was violently teased for his fingers, his own brother betrayed him, he was forced to attend Backupsmore of all places, but he STILL managed to reach for the stars, he was STILL worthy of a muse's divine attention.
The world never did anything for him. What does he owe it? Why not just... let it all burn?
That was Bill's own logic, after all. It's logic that easily excuses atrocities if you have the pride for it. So why wouldn't Ford jump at the chance to welcome Bill into the physical world with open arms? Why wouldn't he accept the power to bring the people that teased him to their knees? Why wouldn't he stand by Bill's side, become one of his demonic fold?
Because Ford is a better person than Bill. And Bill didn't count on that.

:(
had stan still opened the portal after bill had been killed like a millisecond after I firmly believe that the only things that would’ve spewed out would be
1. Bare remnants of the quantum destabilizer
2. Ford but very Dead and damaged nearly beyond recognition
Because I like what-ifs and anguish
And we need the corpse to be recognizable enough for it to click

I’ve just realised something
Okay but what if Stanford was going to get rid of himself after giving Stanley the last journal! like he’s in a bad place and Bill still has an influence over him. If he’s getting rid of his research then the next step would be to get rid of Bill’s puppet. Cancelling their arrangement. (I’m assuming he gets his metal plate installed in another dimension)
like did everyone else realise this and I’m just slow
its really dark for a kids show so probably not but it makes sense right why else would he meet up with Stanley only to push him away again

I'm writing this
What if Bord wrote on more than just the journal pages in invisible ink. What if he drew/wrote things on the walls and furniture in invisible ink too. Can you imagine the horror of discovering that thirty years later. Either Dipper discovering it while walking around with the blacklight, and seeing threats written out in Bill’s handwriting with shaky six-fingered handprints all around them, or Ford discovering it after coming back through the portal, and feeling an all-too-familiar dread sink deep into his bones as he realizes that even at his most vigilant and paranoid, there were still things Bill did while he was asleep that he is just now finding out about
