Shimmerson lore recap: Viktor and Jinx are the same age and met because of Singed and Silco. They become close friends even after Viktor gets to the academy. Jinx follows years later after much convincing to her dad.

The swing set

This has been something I’ve been wanting to draw for a LONG time. Based on a headcanon someone told me a long while ago of the boys going back to see their childhood swing only to see it’s broken and rundown. Stan is clearly upset but brushes it off like it’s nothing, but Ford is very determined to fix their childhood swing because they both cherish it deeply.

Thinking about the idea I had a LONG time ago about Mabel sending motivational and complimenting stickers for the boys and Ford saving a “write your own message” one just for Stan and had to draw it.

We need more young stan content out here.

And nah I ain't talking about 12 year old Stanley or 30 year old mullet Stan, I'm talking 17 year old, slicked back hair, acne riddled Stan pines.

Yeah that one.

I am so happy mullet Stan is so popular because his fit slaps ngl and the angst is so potent I can't not respect it. But teenage Stan has so much potential it's driving me insane.

There is a line dividing the 17 years of relative happiness Stan had with Ford and the 10+ years of depression and crime he had on the streets, and teenage Stan uses that line as a goddamn jump rope.

Seriously, depending on how you look at it dude is either living his best life or is fighting for said life in the trenches of homelessness and poverty.

I see a lot of content regarding Stan on the streets but it only ever focuses on 30ish Stan in his later years of homelessness where he's already a hardened adult after years of dealing with this bullshit. But Stan didn't just drive away and then magically turn 30. There were times in those first few months after Stan got kicked out where he was in his car, trying to sleep, probably starving, while still being fundamentally a child.

Hell, compared to the 30ish age of mullet Stan and the 60+ year old con man he'd later become, teenage Stan is damn near a baby. There's a certain brightness about him, a sort of warm naive optimism that still clings to him because he's straight up just too young to know any better.

He's still fully convinced he's gonna make it rich and go back to his family in a few years. He still believes wholeheartedly that even if shit sucks right now, eventually everything is gonna be okay. It has to be. But it's not gonna be okay. It's not gonna be okay for a long time. And some parts are just never gonna be okay.

Seeing a happy and oblivious teenage Stan feels like watching a baby lamb walk into a slaughter house.

The next 10-something years are going to tear him apart limb from limb. In 40 years he's going to wake up on a boat during a bout of amnesia thinking he's in Columbian prison, or he's locked in the trunk of a car and about to drown, or his shoulder is on fire and his brother is gone, or it's the end of the world and everyone he ever dared to give a shit about is about to die in front of him and it's all his fault because he was too weak to stop it.

At some point, a young Stanley is going to get into his first true life or death fight. He doesn't even have to be involved with crime yet for it to happen. He's probably bruised and bleeding, with not nearly enough money to afford a doctor. He's sitting in the driver's seat of his El Diablo having a complete and utter break down because he almost died and suddenly everything is real.

Nothing is okay, absolutely nothing is going to be okay and whatever is left of his teenage innocence, naivety, and warmth dies in that car and it never comes back.

The next 10+ years are going to fundamentally change Stanley as a person and he's never going to be the same ever again. But teenage Stan doesn't know that, he's still a kid trying to sleep in the back of his car, ignoring hunger pangs and finding comfort in the half baked business ideas his mind cooks up because he doesn't understand how utterly done for he is.

12 year old Stanley I believe is so appealing because of his bright rambunctious spirit. He's still just a kid playing on the beach with his brother, but so was teenage Stan. I just wish the wholesomeness that comes with that and the subsequent hurt that follows as that spirit is broken over and over again by the world was explored more.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

STANLEY PINES...

YOU SHALL BE MY FIRST POST HERE ON TUMBLR...

Grunkle Stan’s real age

The show takes place in 2012.

Near the end of the series, Stan claims to be pushing 70, which would be assumed to mean mid-late 60s. This would be after his birthday that year, as his birthday is on June 15th.

It doesn’t add up, however. Stan pushed Ford into the portal 30 years prior the the events of the show. We know this is exact because of the calendar in Ford’s room in the episode Carpet Diem.

The year is 1982. It can be assumed that Stan did not change the calendar and that is the year he pushed Ford into the portal. But what about before then?

Stan was kicked out before he graduated high school. This leads us to the assumption that he was 18 or younger. However, Ford was looking at colleges and seemed to be graduating that year, meaning he was no younger than 17. This means they were either 17 or 18 at the time of their separation.

When Ford calls for Stan again, Stan mentions that it had been over 10 years since he had seen his brother.

Can we find exactly how many years? Yes. Ford graduated high school and went straight to college (it would be unlike him to do otherwise), where he graduated early.

A PhD takes about 8 years to complete, so three years ahead of schedule would be about 5 years in college. He then went to Gravity Falls, where he spent 6 years before starting Journal 3.

If it took 6 years to complete two journals, that’s about 3 years per journal. Journal 3 was about half way done when Ford buried it and called for Stan, meaning about another year and a half had passed.

So that’s 7.5 years in Gravity Falls, plus 5 years in college, equaling to 12.5 years since Stan and Ford split ways.

1982-12 years brings us to 1970. This barely makes Stan’s comment about his favorite 50s-themed diner in the 70s work. That does add up, as Stan could still be in Glass Shard Beach at the point and have arrived in Gravity Falls in the winter 12 and a half years later.

Assuming they were 18 at the time of the incident, and it was in the year 1970, that would make their birthdate June 15, 1952.

Considering the show started in 2012, and that Stan’s comment about pushing 70 happened later in the series and after his birthday, that would make Stan just barely 60 years old. Not exactly pushing 70.

So, Stan and Ford are 60. But wait, wasn’t Shermie just a baby when Stan got kicked out?

That is Dipper and Mabel’s grandpa Shermie, on the night Stan was kicked out of his parents house when he was 18 years old. That baby doesn’t look very old, probably not even a year, but cartoons can be hard to tell the age of children. So let’s be very generous and say that Shermie is 2 in this picture. That makes him 16 years younger than Stan.

We’ve already established that Stan is 60 in the show, which would make Grandpa Shermie 44. That’s a young grandpa. Subtract the ages of Dipper and Mabel, and he became a grandpa at the age of 32. Divide that by two and both Grandpa Shermie and Mabel and Dipper’s father were about 16 when they had children.
