EXACTLYYYYYY YOU GET IT

If you think about it, Vi and Jinx from arcane are kinda like Stanley and Stanford if their roles were reversed

#me when the trope is siblings who are doomed to be separated and become bitter towards each other #because of outside forces beyond their control #i feel insane

If you think about it, Vi and Jinx from arcane are kinda like Stanley and Stanford if their roles were reversed

#like if you took the role of “screw up” and applied it to ford instead you'd basically have jinx #and both stanley and vi are the protectors who would do anything for their siblings #there's parallels to be drawn #i am very normal about both of these shows i swear #gravity falls #arcane #not art #it's also kinda interesting how depending on the context being the “smart one” and the “strong one” can have very different meanings

There are some things I've been thinking about in regards to Stan and Ford and their relationship with guilt that I don't really know how to express so I'm just gonna ramble about it here bc I need to get this out of my head somehow

Okay, so, Stan's one defining trait is that he feels guilty All The Time about a lot of stuff, and it's kinda what motivates most of his actions. The whole reason he spent 30 years working on the portal is because he felt guilty about accidentaly shoving Ford into it, and you could even argue that it's what leads him to sacrifice himself in the finale (which is actually very depressing if you think about it for too long)

Meanwhile Ford is... a bit more complicated. He does feel guilty, especially about being the reason the portal was made. But I think he also tries to shove guilt and other feelings aside in pursuit of what he thinks is more important- achieving his goals, studying anomalies, stopping Bill, etc, and therefore he doesn't really leave a lot of space to actually feel or process it, and I think it's the reason he can come across as egotistical and uncaring a lot of times

So because of this, I like to think that after weirdmageddon happens and they reconcile, there's a bit of a role reversal between them- Stanley's more at peace with his mistakes now that he's been forgiven, and he's not feeling as much self-guilt as he did before (although it still hasn't gone away completely), but now the one who's forced to come to terms with his guilt for his actions that directly or indirectly hurt other people is Ford since he didn't do that before, because he was more focused on other things and wasn't very self aware. And maybe he struggles with it, trying to make up for not being the best brother/friend he could have been to the people he cares about, thinking of how many chances he had to change and be better but chose not to because he was too self centered- and I think if it came to that, it would be Stanley who would help keep him grounded and prevent his self-blaming from spiraling out of control, because he knows better than anyone the kind of road that line of thinking leads to

Idk man I just like imagining how they would cope with shit like that- Ford making an effort to be more sensible and empathetic to other people's feelings and trying harder to show how much he cares, Stanley learning to not beat himself for his own mistakes after seeing his brother do the same thing and helping Ford understand that not everything was his fault and that circumstances also played a part in how everything turned out- idk I just feel like it would be something interesting to explore

#not art #gravity falls #stanley pines #stanford pines #i was actually thinking of making a comic or something with this idea but now that i'm thinking about it it's probably not gonna happen #way too much work that i'm not gonna be comitted enough to finish #so i'm just gonna leave this here instead

This is how I see their dynamic

I love the way you draw the grunkles, especially stan

Thank you!! Drawing them is really fun, especially their faces

#i was actually kinda scared to draw them when I started making gf fanart bc their face type is not one i usually do in my art #like very square shaped and also showing visible aging #but i'm glad that a lot of ppl seem to like how i draw them #not art

I hate reading a fic that has an interesting premise but everyone acts so out of character

#was trying to find some cool fics to read and found one with an interesting summary but then when i read it i kept cringing to myself #because every character is written to be hypersensitive for some reason #like omg can these guys just talk normally #miscommunication is cool and all when it's written well but when it isn't it's so annoying #anyways sorry for the rant

The show definitely focuses more on the similarities between Stan+Mabel and Ford+Dipper for plot reasons, but Stan and Dipper being the stubborn realist family protectors and Ford and Mabel being the weird eccentric optimists is so. so.. I need to eat rocks

#THIS.#I love how stan and ford are both similiar to dipper and mabel just in different ways

Oh, but what happens when Dipper and Mabel are finally 17? What happens when the older twins look at them and it finally hits how young Stan was? What happens when Ford looks at them and sees them as kids and not almost adults? What happens when they finally have to confront the fact that they were just like that? That their faces were still round and soft and had acne and were so so much younger than any of them remember? What then?

#every time i remember stan was only 17 when he was kicked out i want to cry #and kill his dad

Hiii! First of all, I LOVE your style and your fanarts, specially the stan twins ones, your designs are so cool!!

Following your last post, do you have any twins-centric fic recommendations? I've been reading a few these past weeks but I'd love to know which ones inspired you to draw that piece.

Have a great day, and thank you for sharing your art with us! ❤️

Okay first of all thank you so much!!! 💕💕💕

Second of all BOY DO I HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STAN TWINS CENTRIC FICS, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT

So my first rec is a series called "Swear Jar series" by untrustworthyglitch, and it has a lot of humor sprinkled with angst which I really love! Featuring a very sleep deprived Ford finally getting some sleep by way of cuddling with his brother

This one is also a series (it only has two parts) called "Unacceptable losses" by IncomingAlbatross, where Stan dies during his escape from prison in Colombia and Ford reverses it, and then years later they talk about it. Also from that same author, this fic is called "Wherever we go...", and I won't spoil it because I think it's better when you read it not knowing what's going on, but it's very fluffy!!

If you like fics where Ford has to deal with his PTSD that resulted from Bill's torture I would really recommend "Volition" by AnonymousChicken, in which Ford talks about his trauma and also gets a hug

Continuing the Ford angst train I'd also recommend "Fighting to remember, trying to forget" by gaydreaming, which takes place freshly after weirdmageddon when Stan is still getting his memories back

More emotional hurt/comfort because why not, "Take that to the (memory) bank" by nightwalker is about Stan forgetting (temporarily) his time with Ford in the Stan O War, and Ford is doing the comforting this time

And to finish it off, if you like feral Ford and Stan having self worth issues and both of them being a mess at communicating I think you'll like "hide and seek" by parsnipit

All of these fics are on ao3, I hope you enjoy them!! Have a great day <3
