Hi! I’m Shanklin Pinington!

Are you sick of sad stories that make you cry over Stan?

Then what you need is the Selfish Shellfish AU! The Selfish Shellfish AU won’t give you stangst. I repeat it won’t give you stangst.

(It gives you stangst.)

The Sad Selfish Shellfish and the Curious Case of the Deadbeaten Dad * - or we finally have a name!

we have a name, time to celebrate *

THERE ARE FICS! by @emiliens

part one and part two

how I killed my father

Disclaimer: I only ever meant to post this little AU idea to get it out of my system so it can haunt someone else for once. Turns out I only managed to succeed in one of my goals.

There is no fixed plot I have in mind, just a lot of different ideas and sometimes incoherent thoughts. If you like something you read, you are more than welcome to cherry pick it and make up your own story. Have fun!

MORE!! @aroace-get-out-of-my-face

[crypticmushroom]

WOAH NEXT INSTALLMENT IS OUT?!?? Uh oh Stanley, turns out your current “employer” is some kind of magic portal person… The apprehension is valid considering he doesn’t know this person well… It’s also looking like Fords search has gotten a bit more complicated…

Mx Lottie cannot read a room.

Classic Monster Family AU

(don't come at me with this au name this is just a place holder, maybe)

A crack Taken seriously au that combines Billford (its more platonic partnership tbh since I do NOT know how to do romance) and Frankenstan squish together

So Stan Died before things ever goes bad between Bill and Ford. Ford find out, He has a mental breakdown and Bill convince Ford he can help him bring back Stanley if he finished the portal, Out comes Weirdmagedon but Ford couldn't care less about that because STANLEY'S BACK!!!

...but he is...Different.

No matter! Its only natural if one came back from the dead they will need some help, just like a Coma patient. Stanley just need a lot of rest and a lot of rehabilitation after his rebirth and Ford (along side Bill (Reluctantly)) will help him for as long as what Stanley recovery takes. Ford is going to take care of his Baby brother and give him all the love and protection he deserved.

(while also sheltering Him from not only what the world has become but also what Ford did, Stanley will hate him if he know what he did, He will not find out the moster his brother has become- he will not he will not HE WILL NOT-)

The Crack part came from Bill, Stanford, and Stanley light hearted shenanigans. and Bill realizing he still have Maternal feeling in his 2d turn 3 dimensional equivalent of a heart for this rebirted stitched up meat sack that is his devoted partner twin Brother. He will denied it and disintegrate you on the spot if you point this out to him.

also Stanley Has a pet Axolot Name Frilliam, why would Bill allowed it? because Stanley asked for it for some reason

(Stanley never really express any outward interest in...ANYTHING really- and if this is THEM trying to communicate with Stanley there not much Stanley really can do with it how his mind and Body currently is. He is not a treat to Bill. At the very least, he can inconvenience bill by just being sad, and A Sad Stanley means a distracted Ford and thats a big nono)

plus, a happy Stanley means a happy Ford and He can entertain him self with his new little buddy while Bill and Ford take care of other serious matters that his reanimated brain cannot even comprehend

The serious part comes from Stanley slowly regaining his independence and situational awarness. realizing what fucked up soap opera he managed to get him self in to and plans to break out of his confinement with the Help of his Talking animal friend. He may not be as sharp and mobile as he use to before his major injury before he was dead . and His Talking Friend will help him escaped this place

and maybe, just maybe, safe it

I actually really like my design for the AXOLOTL’s human form- I hope I made it pretty nonconforming cuz I feel like as an omnipotent godlike amphibian being, I figure Mx. Lottie can be whatever they like. They’re supposed to give off witchy wine aunt vibes, with a dash of grandparent-like disconnect. If that also makes sense. I know this is procrastination, but I do have a decent idea of what’s gonna come next in the 3 Buck Stan AU. Baby steps people. Baby steps.

[crypticmushroom]

The night after Stan Pines loses his brother he dreams of galaxies and Axolotl’s. When he wakes he will not remember it, will not recall the knowledge given, the wish granted, but that doesn’t mean that it never happened, the new day came and even though his brother is gone and his burn should hurt, pain seems far away and just for a moment, stuck between dreams and reality Stan feels safe.

[crypticmushroom]

Lol I thought he had an actual rat tail and the image of Stan becoming the rat king was the first thing that came to mind so I drew it

Thinking of Stanley with a rat tail. It's a mix feeling here...

On one hand, man is hot in any way but in the other...wtf are you doing Stanley? *cuts it off and keeps it in my chest pocket* disgusting

[crypticmushroom]

Gravity falls au where everything is the same except Ford got stuck in a dimension where everyone spoke in old-timey English for 5 years and he adopted their way of speaking to fit in and can’t stop so he constantly sounds like he is in one of Shakespeare’s plays and no one can take him seriously because of it

[crypticmushroom]

hi dont mind me you just liked one of my posts and i was like "oh does this person have pickle rick as their-" and i zoomed in and its fucking stanley pickles

apparently i just scrolled through your entire blog um my apologies for hardcore stalking you i just needed to make sure you didnt have takes i dont like anyway fuck you for that goddamn pickle i hate that so much(/lhj /pos)

Thank you so much! Honestly I do the exact same thing way too often ngl. PickleStan was the product of severe sleep deprivation at like 3 am and I too have a deep loathing for his existence but like a train wreck in motion I cannot look away from my unholy creation, he haunts me

[crypticmushroom]

When Stanley had been given the job he wasn't sure if they were serious but...well...a job comes with money or something right? Maybe he should've asked what they were paying him with-

"You want me to what?" He asked the looming dark figure

"Be Death" it said

"Be deaf? What- why?" Shocker was they meant Death, apparently Stan had been living like a dead person so that made him perfect for the job.

Not that he liked it but it did give him some sense of purpose... A comfort in his chest that perhaps all the things he messed up, had broken or destroyed on accident was simply this fate of being Death manifesting.

At least that's what he told himself as he knocked on a door of some wooden shack. He could feel the soul of whoever was beyond the door and, while he is able to guide sound into the afterlife, he has permission to try help those who are yet to lay their heads for enternal slumber.

"Who is it?! Have you come to take my eyes?!" Well, he wasn't expecting his twin dying to see him (literal, unfortunately)
