sigh.

I need this out of my brain, I'm trying to focus on the fics I'm already writing, so I'm flinging this into the void

Au where Stan's born Stan Filbrick Pines, only child to Filbrick and Caryn Pines. He's not a super smart genius, but without Ford to compare to his life...

Still sucks.

He's not bullied for being the dumb twin, but he's still a jerk, still barely socializes positively with his peers, is desperate for connection but doesn't know how to change himself to be more likable to everyone around him. He's still bullied as a kid for being shrimpy and weak until he picks up boxing, still finds the Stan O' War, but it becomes a hang out spot for him to be by himself and draw instead of a focal point for his dreams of escapism.

But now that he's not getting pressured to be more like Ford he can focus on his own hobbies without too much shame.

Specifically drawing.

Starts writing his lil'Stan comic, grows a little older and dang :/ kinda embarrassing to have the character be just him, he'll give him a different name!

Like Stanley. No one will ever guess its an OC thats just him like this!

Grows a little older and his loneliness manifests as him giving his comic character (who's not him!) a friend, named..... Stanford. Stanford's everything Stanley isn't, smart (doesn't struggle in school like Stan), cool (people think his actions are amazing and not something to laugh at or dismiss), a hero everyone likes but is too focused on being a nerd to realize (Stan's the town's trouble child, and is very aware no one likes him). Its not Stan's ideal! Its not Stan twice! See, Stanford different, because, uh, he's got six fingers!

So Stan's got his Lil'Stans comic, starring the twins Stanley and Stanford, one who's just him and one who's everything Stan's not (and sort of wishes he was) and are the best of friends. Life goes on, Stan hits high school, draws and doesn't get the comparison that kills his creativeness but also still isn't a super genius like his cool OC Sixer. Hits seventeen and gets scouted for some prestigious art school.

Turns out Stan's got talent! He's pretty good! Just one thing!

They don't really like his comic style, they like his more realistic, detailed style more. Stan can get in, but he has to 'grow up' and leave his comics behind (or at least, that's what it feels like everyone else is telling him).

And Stan does it. He wants to go somewhere no one knows him, where he can hopefully find someone who doesn't scowl and grimace at all of his ideas, actually make friends. Writes a final farewell comic to his characters, where Stanley and Stanford have a (typical Teen) angsty falling out and Stanley rides off into the sunset to start his own adventure, and maybe find somewhere he belongs.

This does not happen, and while Stan graduates he's just as lonely as he was when he started, parents distant, brother someone he barely knows. Through a series of events Stan's more 'mature' work gets popular and he moves out to Gravity Falls for either inspiration or just to get away from it all. Doesn't matter.

What matters is he's been living his life, drawing stories based on all the weird things around him, when a man who looks eerily similar to him bursts into his living room, claims to be his twin, and is here to take Stan on an adventure to Save Everyone.

aka

Stan's childhood comics come to life, except specifically the twin brother he dreamed up, the evil villain he based off a chip when he was out of ideas, and a few minor characters (Fiddleford, various others, idk). The world of Lil'Stans' , now fully real, is seeping into the real world and Ford's come rescue his 'long lost' brother who ditched him ten years ago and who he's still angry with over it (Stan's a little peeved about it. He was seventeen! How was he supposed to know all his day dreams were real? or something? Actually whats happening?)

(Aka, I've seen a few fics about Ford being an only child and creating Stan in one way or another, what if it was the other way around? This idea slammed into my brain the other night out of nowhere. I've got nothing but the premise and i need it Out of my Mind)

Love Sea Episode 10 | "I told you, didn't I? My heart, my feelings, I've never wanted them back."

CAN WE PLEASE GIVE FORT A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE (AND A HUG)? 😭 I have been consistently balled over by how mature his performance has been as Mut. I felt Fort channel some other kind of force with his crying scenes this episode. It felt so incredibly raw.

(Fort was definitely crying in that scene where Rak finds him on the beach during the night. But the lighting is so ghastly, you can't really see his expressions very well - gosh darn it).

I'm not sure how some people think Suho can't stomach excessive violence. He's simply disciplined. His ‘don't cross the line’ doesn't necessarily stem from moral discomfort but most likely from being an MMA fighter where you're trained to not accidentally kill your opponent in a fight. Because some of the moves taught can absolutely do that. You need to be well versed in the techniques you're using so you don't break an opponent's limbs or worse, their neck, during a match. Knowing when to stop is a must. Suho's applying that principle to any fights he's in. He has the knowledge, training and foresight to see when an altercation might become fatal. Sieun and Beomseok however, do not. They crashout with no thought given to the possible grave consequences of their violence (seen clearly with Beomseok in episode 7). Suho therefore tries keep them from going too far.

again it's wild that the mystery shack is right on top of a massive lumberjack graveyard where zombies actually rise up on their own every month??? and actually infected other people????

(yes i believe in classic stan pines fashion, stan ignored what the fuck was going on and beat up what-appeared-to-be-teens without bothering to ask a question)

Obara Sand, the eldest sand snake!

[Image Description: a square bust-length portrait of Obara Sand. Obara’s brow is furrowed and her mouth is open. She looks discontent and intent. Her hair is pulled back, although a few strands have come loose. She wears a yellow-ish cloak around her shoulders over brown clothing. A red hood or scarf is around her neck. Her cloak is clasped by a red snake pin. The background has a red circle above Obara’s head, eight evenly spaced lines radiating out of it. The spaces between the lines are colored yellow and orange, alternating. The border of the picture is a plain red frame. /End ID.]

(For this Martell Week I’m going to post a portrait M-F! It’s not according to the prompts though, sorry.)

In the mid 2010s there was lots of great music coming out of a ton of different genres like rap and indie and the early hyperpop stuff that was happening I feel like ppl who say that era was just awful actually just weren’t into anything cool at the time…

I hate Snotlout why does he look like that

[aaaaanndbackstabbed]

Scrooge sulks. Like he’s such such a sulker.

The kids refuse to listen his “When I was just a boy…” stories and he goes straight to his office all ‘I hope your happy’

When he was young and adventuring and he and Goldie had a disagreement and this time Goldie was right especially when he was so convinced he was: “Well I sure hope being right will carry her the whole way back home” because he certainly isn’t giving her a lift (because he’s a petty bitch)

Beakley reminds him she isn’t his secretary at a mildly inconvinient time well he’s been saving up his broken clothes because she hates sewing and they just ‘need’ fixing in fact “it’s super urgent” and she is his housekeeper after all

[pomodoriyum]

in the same vein as that recent terror post. season 2 should have just been crew shenanigans. like yeah we all died and it was horrible but before things got crazy we did some wild shit to keep from being bored

also the episodes should absolutely have the same emotional depth and bandwidth and punch

major points:

-james fitzjames and dundy historically accurate pillowfight

-george hodgson practicing an instrument (woodwind?) and driving the rest of them bananas. maybe people start hiding his clarinet or w/e in increasingly weird hard to find places

- peddie and the ‘where the hell have all of our ointment and oils and lubricants gone’ adventure (spoiler: theyve been used for distinctly nonmedical purposes)

- billy gibson and the stewards versus endless laundry. maybe they have a minor revolt about it

- chefs diggle and chefs wall cookoff contest

- cornelius hickey tries to enjoy his day off and shirking his work only to be roped into stupid menial stuff and unable to escape (jopson et al know what they’re doing)

- irvings watercolors and singing classes keep going terribly wrong

- a day in the life of: Fagin the cat, Neptune the dog, Jacko the capuchin

- please feel free to reblog with your own ideas these are cute to think about
