I wanna talk about Ford's little typewriter. I bet he's a midnight typist and will type away at all hours of the night right above Stanley's head. It gets to a point where it becomes Stanley's white noise and it puts him right to sleep. If he's brave enough (or if Ma moves the typewriter down to Stanley's bunk), Stan will snuggle up next to Stanford and lulled asleep by the sound of the typewriter. I can image that Stan was also a thumb sucker still at this age, or even an ear puller. Either way, if Ford stops before he falls asleep, he gets whiny and fussy.

One time, when Stan got really sick and Ma could not get him to sleep for nothing, Ford sat with him in bed and typed for hours just so he could get some sleep. Luckily the sickness wasn't transferable for Ford never got sick.

On the ship, Ford uses a keyboard to type up his findings and send them to Fiddleford for further collection and set aside for later publishing. Stan will be in bed right next to them and have the deepest sleep of his life listening to him type. After a while, Ford found a way to make the keyboard sound like an old typewriter. Stan cried the first time he heard it. Said the last time he fell asleep to Ford on his typewriter was when they were teens and he missed it so much. On the nights when Ford has nothing to type, they'll put on typewriter ASMR. Stan says it's fine while cuddled up with Ford, but he prefers the sound of Ford's typing. Says it's more authentic and soothing. But he doesn't complain too much when Ford can now use his hands to hold and cuddle Stan back, or to give him kisses along his face.

old times aside: bunk beds are often used by mariners, and is used by the navy! they don’t have infinite space, so they gotta use the y-axis.

so, i imagine even if they got together beforehand, they’d use bunk beds. they can cuddle sitting up ok they can’t just use a queen-sized bed. and there’s definitely sentimental value, which makes it feel less bad. also, like you said, makes ‘em feel young. you think they ever do teen roleplay?

It would be really funny with Stan and Ford weren't major crushing on each other while making the layout for the boat and put in a bunkbed for "old times sake" only to immediately get together the 2nd day out to sea and realize they should have put in one regular bed.

Yelp, nothing like some old time bunk bed sex to keep them young.

I don't know which HC I love more:

Stanley knew that Gravity Falls was weird but never had any real or significant encounters with anything, but was aware it could happen.

Stanley has had his own experiences with the paranormal and weird in Gravity Falls but pretended for the sake of his own mind to ignore as much as possible.

Stanley has had his own full adventures with the paranormal and weird in Gravity Falls but he just never brings them up because he honestly doesn't believe they're that special in the grand scheme of The Portal or getting Ford home.

And a subset HC for these is that Stanley is actually a weirdness magnet. Meaning that the weird naturally like him, find themselves willing to show themselves to him, find him a kindred spirit, or view him as a type of conduct.

Anyway, I love the idea of Stan having his own adventures and I've come up with a few off the top of my head.

Stanley shoots Krampus on Christmas after he tried to break into the house. (STANLEY IS STRAPPED)

Stanley has general beef with the unicorns because they are also con-artists and from one artist to another, it's just sloppy work to him. He believes they lack creativity in their approach, the Unicorns believe that Stan just lacks.

Stanley was absolutely proposed to by the gnomes and then kidnapped when he said he wanted prenup. (they were not getting the house in the divorce)

Stan has a deal with Steve (the creature who destroyed Ford's car in his 20's) to leave the El Diablo alone in return that Stan puts the customer parking lot within his reach and to, more or less, go for it once a month. (He likes buses)

Stanley once thought a werewolf was a dog and took care of it for like a month in his 40s. The werewolf was so touched that he basically ruled out the entirety of the Mystery Shack and Stan himself. Stan has no idea he was a werewolf or that this deal exists.

Stanley has used the journal to find and speak with anomalies and creatures of the forest for help building the portal. They usually can not help but are good at locating materials he would need to build it.

More often than not, Stan found himself in the middle of a scuffle with the weird around town and only barely found himself back home in one piece.

Stan was once almost kidnapped by the Blind Eye Society but Stan was so scared of being taken away from the Mystery Shack and Ford, that he went completely deranged with rage and seriously hurt a lot of cult members, including Fiddleford.

The Fae, sirens, and kelpies are very frustrated that they can't trick Stan into anything, he is just far too paranoid. At some point, they completely stopped trying. He would never give the Fae his real name, the sirens tricks never worked because Stan would only ever see Ford and Stan knew that Ford was not on earth, and Stan is afraid of horses.

Stan had a very homoerotically charged relationship with a vampire who wanted to kill him then turn him into a vampire then decide to do neither because he felt genuine sorrow for him. Stan thinks of him often, wondering what could have been.

Surprisingly, Darlene is not his first spider-woman. He's met at least 2 others both with very similar approaches.

He once ran a ghost out of his shop because he kept demanding that it "pay rent or get the fuck out". The ghost decided it wasn't worth staying in that house anyway, Stan had enough ghosts following him from his past.

Larger, unnamed elemental spirits like to hang around the Shack, especially water spirits. They view Stan as another "Free Spirit" trapped in a flesh vessel. Stan does not know they watch him or keep track of him, but many can be found in the Axolotls tank, waiting and watching. They do not intervene because they believe when Stan leaves his body, he will join them.

Stan showed off his "Mummified Mermaid" to the actual mermaids. They approved only because it kept the suspicion off of them and because they also like to mess with humans. Stan has been slapped in the face once or twice by a tail for bad flirting.

Stan is the only person who has had many face to face encounters with the Hide-Behind. Only because for once, the creature does not believe he is the one who has the most to hide. Also because Stan will share a cigar with him, mostly for him to chew on as he doesn't smoke.

Stan wanted to use the mailbox to ask about Ford but was so scared that it would tell him that Ford was dead that he refused to ever mail a letter. He did cry at the base of it, letter in hand, many times when things got bad, but he never put it in.

Stan is fully aware that witches are real, he just thinks they're stupid. He's got a lot of bad blood with multiple witches, mainly because of stealing or bad mouthing. However, there are a few who find his defiance refreshing after so many people fear them. It's an odd balance of fascination and pettiness. They also like hear about his mother, a fraud fortune teller who convinced a whole town of her fake ability.

Stan has always known who Bill was, but he refused to look any further into him. It would make him too sick to think about. If he had looked further, he would have known what he looked like and how he was everywhere in the Shack, spying.

Cupid actually did try to match Stan up once. It failed miserably. Stan forcibly pulled himself out of the illusion and almost stab Cupid with his arrow. Cupid demanded to know why he would throw away a perfectly fine coupling. Stan explains that he already loves someone and won't rest until they are back home. He has no time for other conquests.

Stan is like a Snow White character but with anomalies. If he goes into the forest, strange but harmless anomalies will begin to follow him. He's almost adopted many plaidypus. They just like him. He's got that "I'm the dad that didn't want an animal but here I am spoiling said animal an hour later."

Bonus:

21. While journeying with Stan, Ford is able to view all of this first hand with how so many anomalies are comfortable around Stan. Even the ones that seem up to no good are not shy showing themselves to Stan. A part of him wonders if he too was pulled by Stan's odd pull due to his own anomaly. He decides that probably isn't the worst thing in the world when he sees Stan covered tiny little dragons that are pulling at his large ears and hiding under his beanie. He voices it once night as just a little observation and how he feels a little jealous knowing that other anomalies and creatures like him as well. Stan tells Ford that no matter how many encounters he has, good or bad, Ford will always be his favorite and kisses him. Ford no longer worries about the others, knowing that through every encounter he's ever had, he's always been the one that Stan's been looking for.

Do you ship it?

Problematic Reasons: Twin Brothers / Related

Propaganda: Stan literally spent thirty years of his life working hard and giving up everything to get his brother back. If they weren't blood related they'd be a much more popular ship bc so much of their backstory relies on tragic romantic tropes like devotion, sacrifice, and getting to relearn each other.

idk i think some of u guys are too harsh towards antis. like there’s this person on twitter who drew this thing that said

ANTIPROSHIP-CHAN SAYS:

There are tons of coping mechanisms that can be used for trauma instead of darkshipping such as crafting, writing, and drawing! She won't force you into her beliefs, but it won't hurt to try!

and a LOT of proshippers are yelling at them and like. look. i get it. it’s misinformed and a bit ridiculous. but please consider that the average anti views us as fucking, future child rapists and shit. this comes from a place of genuine concern. that’s good! we should be encouraging that!

also, they’re 15. i don’t want to pull the “literally neurodivergent and a minor” card but yeah 15 year olds are gonna say dumb misinformed shit. this one just doesn’t treat us like an uberpedo. this is an improvement

and optics-wise it just looks bad dusjss you cannot say you’re anti-harassment and then dogpile a 15 year old expressing misguided concern

if you don’t care about any of that, at the very least, you should recognize that going from being an anti to being a proshipper isn’t some magical switch you flip. something like this is a logically necessary intermediary step. actively shooting yourselves in the foot here

[cravingpepsimax]

don’t worry we’re the Good Guys. that makes it ok to be assholes to the Bad Guys. this has never bitten anyone in the ass before

[cravingpepsimax]

fucking!!! exactly!!!! the WHOLE proshipper position is SUPPOSED to be anti-harassment! dogpiling a RANDOM TEENAGER that’s actually REALLY UNDERSTANDING for an anti is not that!!!

“oh but antis don’t treat us well” ??? WHO CARES??? if you WANT your brand to be anti-harassment, you canNOT be doing this shit!

also, now i’ve seen plenty of antis go “LOL “ANTI-HARASSMENT” OK” or “PROSHIPPERS HARASSING A KID WOW WHO WOULD’VE GUESSED”. and, get this — the original poster is, in fact, upset about this! the tweeted “Yall get mad abt anything dear lord”, and they’re RIGHT to! like great job you got your twitter dunk that only people within your community would enjoy. but now you look like a MASSIVE DIPSHIT ASSHOLE to EVERYONE else. was it worth it

I am currently thinking big brother Ford!AU. No portal shenanigans or 2Fords, straight up big brother Ford. I know egg extraction and Petri dish baby making is anachronistic for the 1950's, but suspend that belief for a second, and imagine that Caryn had Stan implanted ~5-8 years after Ford was born. Ford's zygote split in two in the dish, they managed to save "Stan", and the Pines wanted another genius son but without the hand deformity.

Oh, mighty worms in metal containers... how I rotate thee.
