thinking about stan going back in time peggy sue-style pre-portal incident and him becoming more of a yandere BECAUSE of it

ok i know i’ve already got like one and a half of these but here me out

the distinction with the standere time travel au is that in this, when stan goes back, he hasn’t completely falled off his rocker yet. but he — eventually — does.

he’d start out doing normal “prevent what will happen from happening” things. making sure ford doesn’t start working on the portal, stuff like that. but he progressively gets more and more paranoid.

in this au i’m imagining stan gets sent back when the wound is still fresh. he’s still struggling to sleep because of it. and he can’t risk ford ending up… there. whatever “there” is. he can’t risk it again. he just… can’t. he has to keep an eye out on ford, he has to watch him, even if it’s from afar, to make sure he’s okay, that he doesn’t get hurt like that ever again.

but then stan starts freaking out MORE. he doesn’t really understand the paranormal that well. ford’s line of work is pretty dangerous, regardless — every minor scrape sends stan into a hypochondria-by-proxy panic about what could happen to ford. he has to keep watching keep protecting it’s the only thing he can do to make up for the ways he fucked up ford’s life

stan’s good at stalking protecting him, too. ford gets suspicious when things start going too well for him — he always happens to have what he needs. ford assumes it’s of supernatural origin. ford tries to track whatever’s causing this down…

only to find a disheveled, exhausted, deranged version of his estranged twin brother.

(talk about a role reversal, huh?)

Stan's "wardrobe malfunctions" when he hangs around in his boxers driving Ford to distraction until he can't take it anymore and fucks Stan over the kitchen counter

AMEN BROTHER. ford def catches a peek at SOMETHING and goes crazy. sitting in certain ways so stan knows for sure Ford is gonna catch an eyeful of something....

oo what if ford originally thinks these are just accidents but when he realizes stan has been PLAYING GAMES its like a switch has been flipped. before, hed get so flustered at seeing Stan but now that he knows it was all on PURPOSE he's like

"Strip."

It's unfortunate that Stan is in the middle of taking a sip of his Pitt soda because he immediately inhales it. After coughing for a bit, he goes, "What?"

"Don't pretend you didn't hear me, Stanley." Ford says, leaning back against the wall and crossing his arms. His expression is deadly serious--which really shouldn't give Stan a boner on the spot, but combined with what he just said--

"You want to play games? You want to rile me up, as they say? Then you win."

Stan gulps.

Ford smirks at him, tilting his head. "Ah. Becoming shy now, are we? I was under the impression you wanted me to see your genitalia. Isn't that what these past wardrobe malfunctions have been about?"

"Sixer--"

"Well, you've caught my attention. But I'm not going to be a part of this game, Stanley."

Ford then takes slow, weighty steps toward Stan who's still sitting down in his chair. He tries to back up in his seat--as if that would help at all--but then Ford is standing right in front of him, his legs pressing against Stan's knees.

Ford presses a hand on the chair's back, right near Stan's head, and leans down toward his face. Stan's breath hitches.

"You wanted me to see you so badly? Alright. But I deserve to see all of you. So, strip for me."

not to be that guy that doesn’t shut up abt optics but “fiction doesn’t affect reality” is a buns defense and it has done terrible damage in terms of proshippers being taken seriously in like the slightest #tbh

fiction does affect reality. we may not know how shipping and shipping content SPECIFICALLY affects reality, but fiction does, in fact, affect reality. having one of your most well-known talking points be denial of this basic fact will never look good. as a former anti, this was actually a pretty big hurdle for me.

i’m not a “proshipper” (which is a term i have my own problems w but that’s for another post) bc i think fiction doesn’t affect reality. i’m a “proshipper” because i think that fanmade art is still art, and rejecting certain kinds of art on moral principles as opposed to actual artistic critique is bad. i’m a “proshipper” because i think that judging someone’s morals based on what art they like is stupid and bad.

i’m a “proshipper”, not because i think fiction doesn’t affect reality, but because in the cases where Problematic Content™️ can have a negative impact on reality, they are either entirely personal, or just a drop in a giant bucket of other, entirely unrelated stuff.

and, sure, you could argue that i’m playing semantics, that that’s what people actually mean when they say “fiction doesn’t affect reality”, but a lot of people don’t know that. most people hear that blatantly incorrect statement and go “oh, these people just have no idea what the hell they’re talking about”. that’s bad.

oughhh corporate clash mgr stancest au stuff. be ready for TONS of strikethroughs cuz i don’t want some poor innocent toontown fan to stumble upon this:

picturing this as sea grunks bc it’s easier

sellbots! specifically, ford works in marketing research. unsure what stan does exactly other than just Sell Stuff. maybe stan does marketing research as well now? cuz, yk, searching for anomalies

ford is the Blue Ocean Strategist while stan’s the Blue Ocean Opportunist

they’re stationed in barnacle boatyard

i could see them being a non-canon/dubiously canon event mgr a la high roller/sads/count erclaim/count erfit. they’re from another universe. maybe they’re april toons bosses? we know wacky dimensional shit happens around that time so

ford was a member of cogs inc before the portal incident (or whatever the equivalent is in this au) happened, and stan Yoinked his position. ford was understandably pissed about this when he came back. the only reason stan wasn’t fired was bc he’d worked at the company for a long time at that point and has made it clear that he was a valuable employee, crimes aside

ford’s extra finger was a production error that was cheaper to keep than to fix

ford has a chance of dropping a journal, stan has a chance of dropping his beanie

gonna be honest i got like 0 ideas for cheats (other than ford having smth journal-related so the drop doesn’t come outta nowhere) LMFAO feel free to suggest ideas

[cravingpepsimax]

ok honestly im still thinking about Feral! Ford only trusting stan fully. part of me kinda wants it to make it pre-weird but OUGH that would be so complicated but that's what makes it tasty......

cuz like, stan fully thinking ford hates him once he gets back and putting up with all his bitchiness, but then this shit happens and the kids are freaking out, and internally stan is like "oh if he's like a feral cat I'm going To Actually Die," but then to his surprise ford actually...warms up to him??

oh god can you imagine the angst potential tho...like ford is like curled against him and purring and a part of stan is like, i don't want this to end. I don't know if i want him to turn back. I don't want things to go back to the way they were.

and he feels so GUILTY about it too??? but after all this time, after ALL these years, his brother actually seems to...love him? care about him???

and he knows it isnt in the one way he wants, but fuck, he'll take anything at this point. anything that ford is willing to give him, he'll gladly take.

AND GOD WHEN FORD IS BACK TO NORMAL??? i can imagine, since its before weird, ford says something very cold to him. Saying that he only acted like that because of what he was exposed to, that it was just random who he trusted, that it had nothing to do with stan.

that he was just convenient.

and ford is lying, but stan doesn't know that. so he takes it at face value.

Ford tells him to never mention it again.

Stan listens, because he'd do anything for his brother.

Even if it means breaking his own heart in the process.

[cravingpepsimax]

Never noticed it before, but Ford is gently dressing memoryless Stan as they walk! It’s a nanosecond in the show, hahah. Blink and you miss it.

timothy loves to see hal flustered and giggling actually. it’s his favorite thing ever. it’s like crack to him

when they’re finally publicly out as a couple timothy does so much pda w hal it’s actually sickening. hal’s a good actor and can play romances well but that’s because he doesn’t actually have romantic feelings for ppl playing his love interests. when it comes to timothy, who he is madly in love with decades later, he can’t handle it. he’s dying.

One of the outtakes was because instead of punching him Timothy kissed Hal full on the mouth just to trip him up, Hal messed up the next two takes because he kept giggling

WAIT STOP THIS IS ADORABLE???? SJSNSNSNSNE

[cravingpepsimax]

Omg Hal and Timothy having an age gap is so yummy if Timothy is the dom of the relationship (they switch, but Hal likes to be a pillow princess more often)

Hal meeting that awkward young actor in his late teen/early twenties that acts like a fanboy around him and looks at him with stars in his eyes, and then years later he manhandles him with ease and shamelessly gets handsy in public with a smug grin in his face...

I love some younger man/older man yaoi where the younger one is the top 😋

YESSSS the way god intended!

god i was gonna go “i don’t think they even have that big of an age gap, i imagine it’s. what. 10 years?” before realizing ohhhhhh. that’s actually considered a big age gap by normal people standards

combining this w the anon that mentioned timothy being a fan of hal cuz of the colombian romance drama — timothy Won. he did it. he managed to get with his older celebrity crush. an icon

[cravingpepsimax]

I think Ford would totally slap stan on the ass in public then go “hmmm, is incest legal in this dimension?” And this is even before they get together

WHAANNSSJS ok i don’t think he’d do this pre-slash (hell, him doing it post-slash is kinda up in the air — this reads more as portalswap!stan to me) BUT THE CONCEPT IS FUCKING FRYING MEEEEEE

stan’s just sitting there like ??????? every time without fail

For instance, human viewers would never be able to adequately diagnose the relationship between the Author and his brother, pre-Weirdmageddon. But troll viewers could immediately place it as a dead ringer for kismesissitude. They would think we were all pretty stupid for not getting it. And they would be right.

ford punching stan in the face first thing after 30 years is actually super romantic if you’re as insane and homestuckpilled as i am
