STOP I'm thinking about the part in Gravity Falls where Stan shows up with freshly bought (stolen) light bulbs only to see Ford screwing a new one in surrounded by family.

And OH my GOD. AGH.

Stan gets a little (ir)rationally upset about this because... It's.. Guys,,,

Stan perceives it as Ford once again easily receiving the praise and love of their family when he had to fight tooth and nail to receive even half of it.... I'm not well ✋😔

#listen I might be too deep in the fandom space and i might actually be mischaracterizing them completely #I'm not saying that Dipper and Mabel don't appreciate and love Stan because they definitely do!!#I'm saying Stan is seeing Ford reintegrate into their new family and he's seeing him do it. so. easily.#So easily When Stan had to PRETEND to be FORD to get even a chance to be a part of their family again #Stan FOUGHT to be a part of this family #and Ford just gets to slide in and... just. be a part of it.#and i mean duh but also... man Idk #Stan had to pretend to be Ford to get even a smidgen of a foothold to be able to even just... interact with his family #Stan's a family man that HAS to look out for everyone but Ford's just.. family. He gets to just... be a part of them with no real obligatio #And I'm not saying Ford doesn't love his family I'm saying he's very repressed and bad at showing it sometimes #It's just that... Stan fought SO hard to be a part of his family. THIS family. That is all he has EVER wanted #and FORD- who had it and took it all for GRANTED- gets to waltz back in and just.... take it for granted AGAIN #hang on guys i think I'm starting to take this a little personally i need to calm down wow #Okay.... I think I'm good #But you get where I'm coming from #cole's talking #gravity falls #grunkle stan #stanley pines #grunkle ford #ford pines #stangst #stan twins #These tags really got away from me huh #Ahem-- all that to say I think Stan's vague resentment in that scene is valid!!
