Chat can I say something

I feel like a lot of Stanley fans are very weird about his trauma. As in they often use his trauma as an excuse to babify him and act like every single one of his actions is in some way explained or justified by his trauma. I see this happening very often in the gf community on twitter, and it just makes me think about how often people tend to do this not only with fictional characters but real life trauma victims too. Idk it's just weird

Hi sorry to bother you.There will be a magma(likely GF themed) on 19/4,the time is not yet certified(im planning to invite artists from different platforms to join but not sure about everyone's time zones) Would you like to join?

Your Stella Pines has me thinking of that one ‘I’m like if a girl was an uncle’ post where Mable and Dipper’s parents ask Stan if he wants to be referred to as an aunt or uncle, and Stan says “Grunkle” — short for “Girl Uncle”— but they misinterpret it as “Great Uncle” and he just rolls with it. I still don’t know if that post was implying Stan was a trans man, trans woman, or an uncle as a gender with a girl as an essence, and I also don’t WANT to know because the gatekeeping is so funny. But the idea that the only difference between Stan/Stella is literally just… nothing but a vibe, makes me laugh so hard. Your art just made it realer to me. It was so beautiful.

(Side note: the name “Stella” also reminded me of a post I saw on twitter months and months ago where Ford was transfem in The Better World, and Stan asks Ford if that version changed her name to “Stanfordella.” I always liked the Genderbend names Connie and Conniford or Marley and Marlow for them, but if they’re trans, I love Stan inheriting Filbrick’s nonexistent creativity and naming herself something stupid like Stanlea, or with the name Stella, clocking that Ford is trans and just assuming Ford would pick a name with “Ella” in it too, because twins.)

I think Stan is one of those characters where you could make them trans in every direction and it would still feel right yk? He just has that vibe to him (also I had no idea about the grunkle post but the idea is so funny I'm making it canon in my transfem Stan au now)

LOL yeah Stan is not creative enough to come up with a name for herself that isn't just her dead name but slightly different- I was debating naming her something like "Stanella" just for shits and giggles but I think Stella is close enough to Stanley that she'd be like "eh sure that works ig"

maybe if i imagine the character all my problems will be solved

I know a lot of ppl talk about Ford’s fucked up sleeping schedule but we are missing out on both of the sea Grunkles having absurd sleeping schedules.

You’re telling me, Stanley Danley Pines, a man who had a day job of performing, watching over the kids, and having the night job of having to figure out complex equations, having to take up mechanics to re build the portal and a tracking device to find where Ford is theoretically in the multiverse would be have the best sleeping schedule?!

Mans probably taking random ass naps during the daytime. Neither of the brother have proper sleep schedules.

Oh you've given me a reason to talk about the Stan twins and sleeping, you're going to regret this

Between the two of them, I am of the controversial opinion that its STAN who doesn't sleep.

Ford knows the value of sleep. He spent however long avoiding sleep as a LIFE OR DEATH type situation (Bill) and THEN spent 30 years in the multiverse in constant danger sleeping only when he could. Ford has had a terrible relationship with sleeping for forever, even when he was a teen, desperate to prove himself, he wasn't sleeping in order to study and read.

Which is WHY, retired Ford? Fucking LOVES to sleep.

Bill is gone. He's on a boat, safe, with his brother by his side and all the food, medical supplies, and resources he could ever need or want, studying anomalies on what is basically a never ending vacation. All this to say, FORD takes naps. He takes naps in bed, at all hours. He takes naps on couches, on chairs, on the desk, sitting upright in kitchen stools, Ford takes naps in the car, no matter what car, whatever. If the place is VAUGLY comfortable and his brother is nearby, Ford is out like a light. The man makes napping an OLYMPIC LEVEL SPORT and he wins it like everything else. The amount of sleep he gets is something to aspire to.

STAN on the other hand. Is the opposite. His sleep was not a constant pull towards factors he could not control, his sleep schedule is as solid as stone and as unending as steel.

It's just TERRIBLE.

Stan runs, fully functional and his ultimate cheery (grumpy) self, on MAXIMUM three hours of sleep a night. 10 years of rigorous sleep schedule to move the car he's sleeping in so he doesn't get his window knocked on by police. Top THAT with 30 years of running the shop during the day, and spending ALL NIGHTS EVERY NIGHT working on the portal, means that Stan's body has given up the fight of demanding more sleep and just thrown in the towel, and Stan gets by with basically nothing

This is, predictably, SUPER GODDAMN UNHEALTHY.

When Ford gets back, Stan sort of. Doesn't know what to do with himself. He's awake, no matter of tossing and turning really matters, he's just. Perfectly fine being alive at 2 in the morning

After the memory gun, Ford is VERY CONCERNED by this behavior, CONVINCED that the not sleeping thing is a side effect. It isn't until Stan gets all his memories back (and after Stan yells at him for hovering) that Ford internalizes that Stan really. Just. Doesn't sleep.

(He learns the reasons for it and has a whole ADDITIONAL guilt spiral on top of the Bill cipher/memory gun one. Stan has to actually wrestle him into the idea that he loves him anyway)

Que Stanford Pines Ultimate Plan to get Stan to sleep more.

Hes a doctor twelve times over, surely this will be easy.

ERR WRONG. Stan is a hard nut to Crack.

Super comfortable bed? No change. Better pillows? Ultra soft blankets? Nope. Weighted blankets? Stan feels too constricted, opposite effect. Darkened bedroom space? Too dark. Nightlight? The blue light makes them BOTH have night terrors. Sleep aids like sleeping pills or dummies? Stan compares them to the drugs the mental institution gave him and Ford hucks them into the ocean.

Stan's BATSHIT sleep schedule is a constant battle Ford has to fight, but by god is he going to win. Eventually.

I miss the times when I could finish like 5 drawings in a day without getting burnt out. Nowadays the only times I do full artworks is when I get commissioned because otherwise I do not have the patience nor the motivation for it
