Thinking about how if Shermy Pines. And like, if he is the baby, he’d be born in the 1970s and be 40 by 2012 and he’s already a grandad. He had to be a teen dad in the 80s (after a severe economic recession) and then his kid ended up being a teen parent by 1999 (Which is 8 years before ANOTHER SEVERE ECONOMIC RECESSION LOL)

Also he was born into a pretty broken family, probably rarely if ever saw his brothers. Do you think he ever saw Stanley before he had to start pretending to be Ford? Do you think Ford visited from college??? Because he didn’t seem confident facing his father until he made millions, so like???

And, like, do you think Filbrick and Caryn changed as parents by the time they raised Shermy? Because it seems like a trend that as parents get older they mellow out a bit, so Shermy probably has a completely different experience with their parents then Stan and Ford, and talking to them is just “is this seriously the same parents???” (Imagine the silent resentment that’d cause 😭😭😭)

Personally I headcannon that Shermy had a daughter (Mabel and Dipper’s mom) and not a son like it says on the wiki because c’mon. Can he just have a daughter. Idk why this is important to me but… c’mon. Can he just have a daughter. It just feels right to me.

#gravity falls #Shermy pines #sherman pines #him being the same age as my parents feels weird #also him and his kid would’ve had kids at like age 14 #he’d be like 28 by the time Mabel and Dipper are born #CAN YOU IMAGINE #not even 30 yet #no wonder Mabel and Dipper’s parents are fighting #they got together in like freshman year #that’s if their actual parents are still together #is Shermy even alive tho? bc why didn’t Mabel and Dipper’s parents send them to their actual grandparents #maybe Shermy was an awful parent or something #or maybe he was busy with something else and Stanley was eager to take them #I imagine the call to ‘Stanford’ would’ve been like #‘hey I know you’re probably busy doing scientific research and all but #would you possibly be able to take Mabel and Dipper for the summer?’#and his reaction was just ‘YES. YES. ABSOLUTELY YES. WHEN CAN YOU SEND THEM OVER? CAN YOU SEND THEM OVER NOW???’#Or maybe they just remembered how happy Stan was when he saw Mabel and Dipper for the first time #supposedly he refused to give them back lol #so they’re like ‘hey he’s a lonely old guy. maybe he’d like to spend the summer with the kids’#bc they’re probably aware it’s a lot to ask for someone to take some kids for a WHOLE summer #also maybe Shermy just doesn’t live in a place suitable for kids #like ‘Stanford’ has a whole cabin in the woods #Shermy ‘I had to raise kids in an economic crisis’ Pines might live in an apartment or something #that or he’s dead.#how fucked up would it be if he ACTUALLY died in a car crash #and Stanley winces as his faked death didn’t age well
