#Justice for Stanley

[ryemiffie]

Hello, I am Stanley Pines' defense attorney, here to put to rest the debate of which of the Stan twins was in the wrong!

Ahem, I do believe it is referred to as the "long lost evil twin brother" trope, and not the "long lost saint totally morally positive twin brother" trope.

I rest my case

[constantinemaddentheenemyofdeath]

Rest in peace Stanley🕊 The world's best chaos-ridden. You didn't deserve to die(again) in the Copper Gauntlet🫶🏻🫶🏻

PREACH KING

To be so fucking real, rewatching Gravity Falls as an adult can be so infuriating. I'm sorry Ford and Dipper, but Stan REBUILT THAT PORTAL ALONE, STOP CALLING HIM STUPID EVERY FIVE SECONDS. It urks me so incredibly much in Dungeons, Dungeons and More Dungeons that they both gang up on this man who cares so much and loves his family so much that he worked on a problem for 30 years.

Ford is smart, yes, but he didn't even get back on his own in that time. Stan had remnants of the original plan, no way to find out who "F" was, and no one to talk to about this thing. He got the supplies and some of the info probably in his own conman ways, but that isn't an illegitimate way when the end result is still what he wanted. Ford had someone who was objectively more intelligent than he was to help him build the thing in the first place.

Stan has his flaws, of course. He's stubborn, he's a liar, he's a fool, but he is not foolish! He did not fall for Bill's shit. Ford has all the smarts in the world and is still a total dumbass the moment someone strokes his ego. He betrays McGucket, he falls for Bill's tricks, he puts Dipper and the rest of his family in harm's way, and he betrays STANLEY who was there for him since the beginning because he made a mistake.

Justice for Stanley Pines!!!

There's so much amazing art about Stanley being The Narrator's puppet. But what about us, players.

Aren't we literally taking control of Stnaley's body?

Aren't we the audience that The Narrator so desperately craves attention and praise from?

Aren't we able to reset the game just like The Narrator?

Aren't we addressed by other beings in The Parable, that The Narrator doesn't show knowledge of their existence?

We have control, that Stanley doesn't have. We as players have more power than The Narrator. He is trapped. We are not. He needs us. Without us his story would have barley any audience.

The Narrator is our puppet, and The Parable is our little playground.

We are the force that The Narrator should be afraid of.

Watched tadc pilot. It was awesome ive never experienced this much existential dread.

Sea Grunkles trying to hang with the ladies on shore at the bar(mostly Stan, Ford is tagging along)....

Stan: Ya see, sweet cheeks, my brother here has 12 PhDs....But I can assure you, his personality has emphasis on the Ph, and that's definitely basic....

Ford, pressing his fingers to the bridge of his nose, and closing his eyes, grimacing: Stanley, please stop-

Stan: But me, me on the other hand, I got the D, and it's anything but---

Stan gets beer to the face, and Ford once again, shakes his head, and puts his hand on his brother's shoulder.

Ford, cracking up a bit: Stanley, that joke never lands...But I will say, the Ph part is clever...And I still don't understand the second h-

Stan throws some beer in Ford's face, and they both crack up, like they did at prom many years ago. And Stan never tells Ford it's not about the joke...He is just happy to make his nerdy brother chuckle.

Stan: And you never will, Sixer.

Sad-ist drew my old man 🥺 oughh 💗💗

Imagining an Ace Attorney/Gravity Falls crossover, I can't decide which is funnier: Apollo with Mabel as your Weirdgirl Assistant, or Athena with Dipper.

Also not sure who to kill off, but I know I'd want the defendant to be Soos. Stan as the defendant is low hanging fruit, and besides, it'd be funnier if he keeps trying to give Apollo/Athena blatantly forged evidence to try and "help".

i think about the better world/parallel dimension so much, man, like what happened to stanley after he left with that journal ? is he just off on a boat running away again still homeless ? did stan and Ford have a small reconciliation, did stan come back after leaving with that journal? WHAT ABOUT EMMA MAY AND TATE ?? DID FIDDS STILL ABANDON THEM, did fiddleford not have the memory gun, or did he not have a chance to really use it when Parallel Ford went to reconnect with fiddleford ?

im pretty sure the parallel world is just supposed to show how our ford thinks its all amazing and "better" because he got what he think he wanted in the end ( recognition , fame , someone who changed the scientific world ) but in reality the parallel world is kinda sad to me guys idk 😭 in that world ford never got to reunite with his brother. ( from what we know ) granted, the apocalypse never happened, and Ford didn't have to wipe stans memories, but they didn't even get to reunite like they did in our version of Gravity Falls. Did Tate ever come down to gravity falls to meet his father ? did Emma May and Tate move to Oregon to be with Fidds? did they still divorce because Emma, your husband MIGHT just be queer. I have so much going on in my brain over this au it makes me crazy
