hi there hello it’s the person who made Stella. I had a spare email lying around from when I made a burner ao3 so why the hell not yknow.

OMG HIIIII i just followed u from my main (sideblog moment lol). EVERYONE CHECK THIS PERSON OUT NEOWWW!!!

[cravingpepsimax]

lord do i feel you there WJAJSJS i went over multiple iterations of sylvan before falling on Strange Stoic Deer Boy — in part because i was afraid of making him too mary sue-ish. it’s funny you mentioned the heterochromia — that was one of my favorite details! heterochromia is recessive. stan and ford are identical twins, ergo, if one of them has the heterochromia gene, the other also likely has it. thus, their biological offspring would have a higher chance of heterochromia !!

had that same conflict with giving sylvan a twin, too LMAO. i felt like — given the story i have planned for him — you’d end up with way too many cooks in the kitchen. it also just messed with his backstory + conflicted with his character themes too much

so, when it comes to dipper and mabel’s father, or hadley’s brother, my question is this: would their presence benefit the story you want to tell? either their story as a whole, or their character backstory. and, yes, i know the pines twins need a father, but in theory you could just handwave it and go “they divorced” or something

tl;dr writing characters is Hard. especially if they are Incest Babies

Okay since some of you want to know about my Stancest fankid, I will rant about her!

First thing, I have like a billion different AUs within this AU, but I’ll probably only share two of them with y’all.

So, without further ado;

Her name is Hadley Celia Pines, her birth year depending on The AU, but for my original timelines, she’s born February 18, 1973, about 4-5 months after Stan gets kicked out. There’s no conclusive date of when Stan was kicked out, but I’m pretty sure the year was 1972 and given how most college admissions happen in the first semester, I'm putting Stan being kicked out in September/October of ‘72, when they’re 17. And yes, this is an mpreg kind of scenario. I haven’t decided whether this is ABO, trans!Stan, or a “men can get pregnant” kind of universe. But either way, she is the product of both Stan and Ford. Since Stan was only about 3 months or so months when he got kicked out, he didn’t know, being naturally a little chubby and all. It was only after a couple months on the street, he made it to New York, when his belly firmed up that he figured it out.

He was so terrified, scared of giving birth on the streets and dying, from his baby getting taken away from him, from everything that could happen to his baby. Thankfully, he was taken in by a kind older woman, a retired midwife named Celia. Stan stayed with her for two years before he and Hadley left, Celia’s apartment was too expensive and she was moving in with a nephew of hers. She offered for Stan and Hadley to come with her, but Stan declined, feeling a combination of insecure, pride, and the want to prove himself to his father. Of course Stan still stays in contact with Celia, his and Hadley visit her every year for the Holidays and Harley’s birthday

Of course since he’s been a father since he was kicked out, he never got into too much trouble like in canon. He still had to chew his way out of a car and still had bad dealings with some drug lords, but he never went to jail or South America.

Ford still sends him a post card when things with Bill got too much to handle, and Stan still goes, but he’s more cautious with Hadley in toe. Ford’s more cautious too, seeing a little girl glaring at him from behind Stan threw him for a loop. Stan’s much less likely to fight Ford with their daughter-Ford unknowing-present, so he just pushes and pushes until Ford explains everything.

So Stan sticks around to help Ford, and eventually Fiddleford, defeat Bill, subverting Weirdmaggedon. Stan and Ford grow close again over that period, and Stan tells Ford he’s Hadley’s other dad and cue family bonding.

Now in one AU, the portal fight still happens and Fors goes through the portal for 30 years. In this one, Hadley, once Stan lets her, helps with the portal, but she also uses the lab for her own personal projects, like a prosthetic for when a lab explosion causes Stan to lose a leg. Dark I know but meh. And instead of Dipper and Mabel being Shermie’s grandkids, they’re Hadley’s kids, Ford and Stan’s grandkids, so they grew up knowing all the weirdness of the town and about Ford.

Some things that stay consistent through the billions of AUs

-Hadley has partial heterochromia, central to be exact.

-Stan and Hadley both sometimes go by Lee

-Because they’re both “Lee”, they made their own language, “Leenglish” where it’s just the “Lee” pronounced with different tones and lengths

-Hadley takes after both Stan and Ford a lot, Ford’s intelligence (times like 10) and Stan’s penchant for showmanship and conman abilities.

-she graduated high school and college (think kind of like Spencer Reid), getting multiple degrees as kind of a “Fuck you” to Ford, proving that he’s not the smartest man in the world as he likes to think (her thoughts) many of these degrees being physics degrees to help with the portal

-At first, she honestly kind of hates Ford, hates how he hurt her dad, hates how he abandoned them him, and most importantly, she hates how similar she is to him. How she knows that sometimes Stan looks at her and just sees Ford, even though he’s never once compared them (he does not, Stan’s just always amazed at his wonderful daughter, these are Hadley’s issues taking front). Oh yeah, she has a lot of internalized self hatred issues that she projects onto Ford for the longest time. She also has his anger issues and ability to hold a grudge for the longest time. None of these are my personal feelings towards Ford, I love his character, but I tried to draw upon my own personal feelings on feeling abandoned by a parent

-Surpisingly chill with her dads being Incest Twins, but telling them to not be too affectionate and mushy in front of her because ew, those are her dads and also ew they’re old.

Sorry for the rambling post! I just tried to fit in as much as I could in a small enough post! Please let me know if you want to hear more about her and the multiple AUs I have of her!

[cravingpepsimax]

would you like to hear about by stancest fankid bc she's gnawing on the bars of her enclosure right now and i can tell you're in a mood. jk im telling you anyways because i dont have a stancest sideblog

her name is stella pines and TECHNICALLY she's not related to either of them. and fords technically her stepdad. she ran away from home and was a feral forest child until stan was able to lure her into the mystery shack with beef jerkey. she also got Ghost Cursed but she doesn't talk about that :) Ghost Curse makes her basically albino but she just rolls with it. she's goth now. hell yeah. (Ghost Curse does more shit but that would be a whole other essay that im too tired to write rn. tldr; shes a lot more animalistic and feral and morally dubious than most people. ford has almost an aneurysm when he meets her bc Ghost Curse.)

stan found her when she was 9, around 10 years before the events of Gravity Falls. he Does Not Know where she came from and she Will Not Share. he named her stella because she didnt tell him what her name was prior to The Forest and so he went down a list of baby names until he found one she didn't bite him over. he's still not sure if it was her name or not (it wasnt)

stan explained her to gravity falls by just saying that he hooked up with a lady in vegas on a trip a while back and now the kids staying with him. This Is My Daughter. Put That DNA Test Away.

she figured out stan was lying about something pretty quick and by the time she was 11, she knew (basically) everything. she really really wanted to help but stan shooed her out every time she tried because "it's dangerous" and "you could get hurt" and "it's a lot of math, you'll probably get bored" and stellas just like "dad. i have disemboweled and devoured something thing that i'm only half sure was an animal using only my teeth when i was five years old. Let Me Into The Math Dungeons." and stans like "no"

she helps out in the mystery shack instead because SOMEBODY won't let her chew on wires in the basement. mabel thinks she's the shit. dipper is concerned.

when fords back shes just like "HEY uncle ford ive heard SO MUCH about you" *winkwink nudgenudge KISS HIM DAD*. when stan and ford tell her theyre dating shes like "about fucking time. do you wanna be pops or something or are you still uncle ford. youre pops now actually ive decided. anyways im crashing at wendys for the night i sure do hope you dont get this large house all to yourselves for the night with nobody to bother you when you do stuff. would be a real shame."

she has bingo nights with the gnomes every other tuesday. They Let Her Use Their Tunnels. this comes in handy.

OMG YES YES YES YESSS I LOVE HER SO MUCHHHH

one of the names for sylvan i considered was actually stellan WKAKSKSMSM

she means everything to me already . a DUBIOUS little creature getting up to MISCHIEF this is no good …

i feel like sylvan would have such a siblinglike relationship with her. they are bickering constantly but they are besties. somethin’ to do with them being feral and morally dubious. they would totally be gravity falls newest cryptids.

stella: oh, yeah, forgot to tell you: i’ve got a ghoooost cuurse *wiggles her fingers spookily* that’s where i get my white hair from!

sylvan: wish i had powers from my albinism. i’m just blind and can’t go out in the sun

stella, nodding: like a vampire.

sylvan: *raises a brow*

stella: ‘cause, you know, the sun… and… bats…

sylvan: not only are bats not blind, their eyesight is great.

stella: *rolls her eyes* ugh. remind me to never try to cheer you up again.

anon if you don’t make a stancest blog i am going to Attack you . with Hammers . i need to Communicate With You

[cravingpepsimax]

Sometimes Tumblr feels fake, like what do you mean I can interact with these people I’ve only ever watched from afar on AO3 and Twitter? What do you mean I can spew nonsense and they will thank me? I feel like a frog asking the princess to let down their hair so I can climb up it. I hope I’m a cute frog.

YEAHHH SAME WITH MINE LMAO

i love hadley !!!!! she’s so cool . in general i love seeing any stancest kids but this is especially peak

Wait, who birth Sylvan? Was there a birth or did he just “poof” via magic?

ford pines is two things:

a cartoon scientist

someone who extensive knowledge of the paranormal

being a cartoon scientist, i'd already have no doubt he'd be able to whip up a test tube baby -- cartoon scientists can do anything -- but the knowledge of the paranormal? oh, yeah, guy's definitely doing some kinda science-fantasy stuff.

(frankly, ford did consider making it possible to get one of them pregnant, but that came with a litany of issues. 1. pregnancy sucks and neither of them particularly wanted to have to deal with that, but, more importantly: 2. wayyyyy too many risks there. a cisgender man being pregnant isn't exactly common. let's not risk either of their bodies for this baby)

[cravingpepsimax]

Did Stan teach him pick-pocketing like that one cut Wendy episode or was it something he picked up on his own?

i think stan unintentionally taught him how to do it. stan's protective of his family, and he doesn't want his kid messing with the wrong guy and getting his ass beat. but sylvan is observant, he's seen stan pickpocket people before, he can figure out how he's done it.

additionally, sylvan is just. Really Really Quiet. it's even hard to hear him walk. so being good at pickpocketing is just a natural extension of that LMAO

[cravingpepsimax]

I want to hear more about your stancest fan kid!

HIII YES HELLO!

since you didn't elaborate on what you specifically are curious about i'm gonna drop in a bunch of fun facts about sylvan:

before he was born, ford came up with a long list of names, with even longer explanations. he ran stan through them all, of course, both because that's his child but also because stan knows exactly what kinda names would be bullied and how. despite ford being bullied, it was always about his hands. i think ford would be too caught up in the euphoria of Wow Cool Name Meaning to realize ("yeah i respect the connection to six but we are not naming our kid sextus")

sylvan is very possessive of his beanie. do not fuck with his beanie.

because of how quiet and sneaky he is, he's really good at pickpocketing

he calls ford "dad" and stan "tate", the yiddish word for dad

[cravingpepsimax]

Stan 100% had a hand kink.

Large hands are his favorite. With thick, calloused fingers and wide palms. Hands big enough to wrap around his throat and hands gentle enough to cup his face.

He’d give each finger a kiss, worshiping each digit with soft words and even softer actions. He’d compare his hand to his lovers and marvel at the difference in size, and then melt at the way their fingers so perfectly slot together.

Ford, on the other hand, is dying from overwhelming love and embarrassment. Stan’s love for his hands still throws him off all these years later, but he can’t help but feel giddy every time Stan gently takes Ford’s hand into his.

[cravingpepsimax]

[talking about my favorite characters] okay so THESE two come in a bonded pair and if i think about them too hard i start taking poison damage

[cravingpepsimax]

Ford creepin on stan 🥺🥺🥺

YUUUJUUUUP. yuou didny specify an age so im taking this and runninh 😛

ive talked about this before but i think as kids/teens ford wouldve be awaalllllll up in stan's dirty laundry, shoving his face in his sheets when he's not there, peeking on him in the shower, you get the idea. he just loves his brother!!! how could he not just help himself?? i thikn hed be so mesmerized by everything stan does (until he gets the idea of college in his head and he starts to feel itchy and suffocated) he thiks his brother is so darn cool he just wants to crawl into his skin and live there forever. he would 100000000000000% watch stan change any chance he gets and he'd always like nervously whip his head around when stan would turn to look at him and ford would suspiciosly have to cober his lap with a pillow because jesus fuck seeing stan shirtless sent his head spinnign ebcause stan looksl ike he could throw ford over his shoudler and that thought does Absolutely Nothing To HIm.

and if you entertain the idea that stan knows.. heh. gamechanger. he'd purposefully do stuff when he can tell ford is watching just to get under his skin, all the sudden he cant possibly find the pants he's looking for in the drawer of their dresser so he just has to bend over all sexy like and flex his back muscles and flaunt his ass and Yeah you get the idea. teasing ford beyonf all belief. they'd be at the beach and all sweaty and stuff and stan would wait till he can tell fords looking and would use the hem of his shirt to wipe sweat from his face and would just so happen to show up his sweaty tits lol hes evil ok you get it

i think old man stans ford would be SO FUCKING WEIIRRRRDDDD. not only has he been isolated for like 30 years he also wasnt in this dimension so it only makes sense that he wouldve like. forgotten. human sociall norms and shitso like hed just be so fucking weird bro.

i think before they make up and become friends again ford would be like. hate stalking this guy. he'd be like peeking on him when he thinks stan isnt looking being like ufh... he got fat.. and hairy... and his clothes look dirty... i wanna smell himWhat who said that. WH o said that.. No i dont . he'd also try to like rationalize it like Well i havnt seen him in so lonf and hes a stupid dumb idiot i have to observe and watch him and track his every movement and probably watch him sleep too Because what if hes dangerous. I need to make sure he wont .. uhh hurt the kids . ? Yeah sure that works. hes lame af right

and then i think after stan loses his memory like.. offhhhhhh someone save stan bro he is getting SMOTHERED BY THIS MAAAAAN HE DOESNT GET ADAMN MINUTE TO BREATHE. he cant even shower without ford hovering outside the door or even hovering in the damn bathroom itself he is Watching stan at all hours of the day this poor guy wants to smack ford silly.

sigh. i lvoe those stupid old men. ford please just give in and start doting on your brother please oh please

[cravingpepsimax]

He knows he's loved and wanted by both Stan and Ford? 🥺 (Please tell me this is true my heart would break if one or both of them passed on the exact same trauma their dad gave to them)

he... has his moments of doubt, for sure. he's got anxiety and trust issues, it'd be hard to not occasionally feel like that.

but they aren't anything long-lasting. these are temporary fears, and he does know he's loved and wanted. he feels it, too. he just doesn't have particularly great self-esteem (not their fault!!!! for clarification!!!!!! sylvan just has unnecessarily high standards for himself!!!!!!!) so he sometimes has moments where he's like "clearly they don't actually want me here and are merely Tolerating My Presence" before he snaps out of it

tl;dr mostly yes, sometimes doubts, not because of their parenting but because sylvan has Mental Illness

[cravingpepsimax]

I assume Sylvan at least got a quality education being homeschooled by Ford

his education is. really min-maxed.

he is EXCEPTIONALLY good at basically anything involving stem. his real struggle are the humanities. there's a few reasons for this:

ford mainly works in stem, so it comes more naturally to him than teaching, say, history.

sylvan has an interest in stem, but doesn't really care about the humanities.

sylvan has dyslexia.

i wanna make it clear that it isn't lack of trying on ford's part. he's not like. neglecting sylvan's humanities. sylvan just does Not care about them and it isn't really ford's area of expertise. sylvan might be able to do quantum mechanics at 12 but he would rather Die than write an essay

[cravingpepsimax]

Me trying to explain stancest to people

[cravingpepsimax]

slyvain pines…..is SHORTER than the stan twins! (for the oc assumption thing 😁)

ohohoh! you sent this as a joke because obviously he is but little do YOU know i have thought about sylvan's height!

one thing i wanted to avoid when designing sylvan was making him look Exactly Like stan and ford. it's common for stancest fankids to look a lot like their parents -- and for good reason! however, i find genetics to be an interesting subject, and -- considering that his parents are identical twins -- i imagine there are some pretty interesting things going on there.

putting the rest under the cut in case people don't wanna read about irl incest (even in a more scientific, abstract context):

turns out: inbreeding results in shorter stature. this typically takes a few generations to really show up, but, again, stan and ford are identical twins. most of these inbreeding studies are based on cousin incest. so it'd make sense for some inbreeding depression to kick in faster -- the whole thing is based on recessive genes, after all, and stan and ford have almost every single gene in common.

so, yeah! sylvan's gonna grow up to be shorter than his parents. there are some external circumstances that also make it more likely for him to have shorter stature but shhhh spoilers

[cravingpepsimax]

But if Sylvan had temporary tattoos? Like the ones you get in ice cream boxes (maybe in secret)

tbh, i don't see sylvan being super into tattoos, period. you know how both his parents wanted to make a name for themselves? yeah, sylvan is the exact opposite -- he likes to blend in. unfortunately he is a polydactyl albino with buck teeth so that's gonna be difficult

if he did, though? probably something related to the ocean, or sailing. it reminds him of home. depending on what point of his life he's at, he might also get stan's tattoo.

[cravingpepsimax]

I have no idea how this works, is Sylvan favuorite pizza toppings bell peppers?

good guess, but sylvan's favorite topping are actually olives. you'd think it'd either be anchovies (haha fish, sea) or pineapples (he's got a major sweet tooth) but nah he's an olive guy
