STUPID SMUG IDIOT, KEEP YOUR DAMN MOUTH SHUT!!!! -Stan, probably

[nuttersincorporated]

Incorrect Gravity Falls quote (inspired by Labyrinth)

Stanford Pines: Give me my family

Bill Cipher: Sixer, beware. I have been generous up until now. I can be cruel

Stanford Pines: Generous! What have you done that’s generous?

Bill Cipher: Everything! Everything you wanted; I have done. You summoned me, I came. You wanted a muse, I inspired you. I have reordered time; I have turned the world upside down and I have done it all for you! I’m exhausted from living up to your expectations. Isn’t that generous?

Stanford Pines: Through dangerous untold and hardships unnumbered; I have fought my way here to top of the Fearamid beyond the field of madness bubbles. For my will is as strong as yours and my…

Bill Cipher: Stop! Wait, look Sixer. Look what I’m offering; your dreams!

Stanford Pines: And my kingdom as great…

Bill Cipher: I ask for so little. Just let me rule you and you can have everything you want.

Stanford Pines: Kingdon as great… damn! I can never remember that line!

Bill Cipher: Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.

Stanford Pines: My kingdom as great. My kingdom as great… you have no power over me!

I've been wanting to draw something with Ford and Odile but a warrior cats post gave me a funnier idea

[nenoname]

still losing it over bill calling stan a liar

[things-ford-pines-missed]

terrible news, Ford would've missed Labyrinth (1986), the one with David Bowie.

Thing Ford Missed #180: Labyrinth (1986).

I’ve heard many things about this movie and I’m deeply sad for ford. Damn

Whispers from the Eaves...

"I heard a rumor that a door in the Flats is actually a window. A woman walked through and fell."

...thin places abound in the city Forde. You either know your geography, or you KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

does anyone else have the headcanon that the level of control we see stan having over his mindscape (stan being able to talk to dipper in a memory, stan being able to make his memories into a giant labyrinth and seemingly able to perfectly hide most of the ford memories from everyone else) is, like, exclusive to him?

of course ford would know how to control and shape his own mindscape thanks to previous coaching from his Muse, but, like, stan has had to live a billion lives as fake identities. i headcanon that the mental discipline required to keep his story straight that many times allowed him to build a really thorough and hard-to-navigate mindscape, as well as suppress it all near-instantly in weirdmageddon 3 in order to trick bill

all this to say. i think if you went in soos or wendy’s mindscape and tried to do the same thing dipper did by talking to their memories, their memories would probably start screaming hysterically about being told they’re a memory and the gang would realize that stan is an outlier.

I love thinking about Fords travels so much

When i was playing in Pools I lost (ofc) and when walk a long time I raised my head and saw something like Escher's labyrinth

it's took my breath and i decided to put Ford there too (it's don't look exactly like this, it's just vibe)

It's so funny that the Mystery Shack is called the Mystery SHACK. What about it is a SHACK????

It has multiple rooms, multiple stories, a gift shop, a show room, school cafeteria sized party room, a carpet room, wax figures room, a secret LAB. Imagine you're Ford coming back through the portal to your giant labyrinth of a house, and it's called the Mystery SHACK

Stan was HOMELESS UNTIL HE LIVED THERE

Some Labyrinth!Billford for the soul?

Spooktober Day 23 - “Look at the mess you made.”

I believe this is BillStill AU (I don't remember who created it, but I love it).

Ford had wanted to clear his mind. He enjoyed his daily adventures with you and Dipper, but he wanted some alone time, to relive the good old days. He loved his adventures with you. Sometimes, however, he wanted to have his own time. There were certain dangerous activities he just didn't think were safe for you or Dipper to experience.

He had been gone for longer than he had anticipated. He had gotten caught up in an intricate labyrinth beneath the lake. He was excited to tell you and Dipper about it and planned to take the two of you tomorrow.

Once he'd finally made his way home, he couldn't wait to see you, to see the excitement on your face when he told you what he'd found. When he walked in, the Shack was quiet.

“Hello?” he called out, setting his bag down by the door. “Anyone home?” Silence greeted him. His brow furrowed. Normally, he would hear the chatter of the twins, your voice in conversation, or Stan grumbling about something, but, now, there was nothing.

“[Y/N]?” he called again. “Kids? Stan?”

The living room was empty and so was the kitchen. Then, a sinking feeling gnawed at his stomach. He quickened his pace, heading toward the attic. That’s when he found you. You were lying on the floor, unmoving. Dipper and Mabel lay beside you, equally still, as though they had simply collapsed where they stood. Your bodies were oddly posed in the shape of a triangle.

Panic shot through Ford. He rushed to your side, kneeling down. His hands trembled as he checked your pulse. You and the twins were alive, but unconscious, and he had no idea why.

He leaned over you, shaking you gently. “[Y/N], please wake up.” He glanced over at the twins. No response. Ford’s mind raced, trying to think of what could have done this. Was it a curse or a spell?

As he stood up, his heart pounding with fear, a slow clap echoed through the room.Ford turned sharply, his heart stopping mid beat as he saw the source of the sound. Standing in the doorway, illuminated by the dim light was Stan. The yellow glow in Stan's eyes.

“Bill,” Ford whispered, his blood running cold.

Bill grinned wider, tilting his head in mockery. “Well, well, well, look who finally decided to show up. You’ve been a little busy, huh, Sixer?”

“How are you here? We erased you!”

Bill chuckled darkly, taking a step forward. His hands tucked casually in Stan’s pockets. “Oh, come on, Fordsy. You really think you could get rid of me that easily? I’m a multi-dimensional being. You can’t just zap me out of existence.”

“What have you done to them?” He glanced at your motionless body. Ford’s jaw clenched. He could feel rage bubbling beneath his skin, but he knew better than to let Bill Cipher provoke him.

Bill’s grin stretched wider, “Oh, don’t worry. They’re just taking a little nap. I needed them out of the way.” He waved a hand lazily at the scene before him. “Look at the mess you made me make.”

Ford’s eyes narrowed, confusion and fury swirling inside him. “What do you mean?”

Bill spread his arms, still wearing Stan’s twisted grin. “You made me do this. All those years of chasing after things you weren’t supposed to know, I helped you find, smart guy! You just couldn’t help yourself, could you?”

Bill laughed. The sound was horrific, Stan's gruff laughed mixed with bill's high-pitched shriek. Ford put himself between your unconscious bodies.

"We had a deal, Stanford," Bill insisted.

Ford’s heart ached at Bill’s words, but he shoved the guilt aside. He wouldn’t let this monster break him. “If you’ve come to kill me, just do it. Leave them out of this.”

“Now, where’s the fun in that? You think I’d come all this way just to end things quickly? No, Sixer, I want you to suffer. I want you to see the people you care about get hurt and it's all because of you.” Bill tsked, wagging a finger.

Ford’s breath hitched, refusing to show fear. “You won’t win, Bill.”

Bill’s eyes gleamed with delight. “I already have.”

Ford was torn. He wanted to protect you, protect the twins, but he couldn't hurt Stan. One hand hovered over the gun on his hip, fingers twitching as he struggled with his own logic.

Bill strolled closer, his grin never fading. “Oh, don’t worry, IQ. I’m not going to kill you, yet. I want you to watch me take everything from you. Your brother Your girlfriend. The kids. One by one, and you’ll know it’s because of you.”

Ford’s vision blurred with rage, but before he could even think of a response, Bill snapped his fingers, and the room began to warp. The air felt heavy, the walls bending and distorting as reality itself twisted around him.

magical girls turn into witches when they fall into despair and spread despair themselves by causing murders and suicides. they and their labyrinths are usually strange and kinda eldritch looking. when homura turned into a witch and was contained inside her soul gem, the labyrinth inside her gem formed an ideal world for her and trapped madoka in it because she missed her. do you see my vision

bill cipher as a madoka witch btw

[designing-witch-forms-4-ur-faves]

ok you seem to be accepting male characters so can I suggest stanford and stanley pines from hit show gravity falls

Hello! I read this and the wording kinda threw me off a bit, I wasn’t sure if you wanted stan OR Ford as in optional-one-or-the-other-I-choose or if you wanted Stan AND ford as in both as the same witch.

Ultimately I decided it would be cool if I tried combining both into one witch. It’s possible after all, I read somewhere that Walpurgisnacht is made up of multiple people.

Anyway, here’s what I came up with!

Kilmer Grimm : the mystery witch

I wanted this piece to look like you were actually in the witch’s labyrinth, I like to think I succeeded in accomplishing that effect.

As usual, concept art + deep dive into design choices under the cut:

Thank you so much for requesting! I hope you like this design!

I genuinely wish more people would compare ford to Daedalus too. I mean, icarus is the guy that fell too close to the sun but the guy that made the minotaur's labyrinth that he and his son were also made prisoners in was daedalus. He is the creator lost in his own creation, like Ford got lost in the portal.

Ford is like if Daedalus made the wings but if He Was the one that flew too close to the sun. At least to me.

Hes also kind of Phaeton-coded if you ask me depending on the telling you are reading

I hear you, that's fair.
