honestly the main reason i fell off the grandpa train, other than the "being more closely related by blood wouldn't and shouldn't change the bond the twins have with stan" is the same issue i (and hirsch) have with the "what if stan was actually soos' biological dad!!!" theory, because both theories rely on this idea that stan knowingly and willingly abandoned his sons in some way, while still maintaining some sort of relationship with them under false presences, which is just such a horribly scummy thing to do and completely against some of stan's best traits, which are his devotion and love for his family

#like i didn't think about it much as a teen but that theory relies on stan letting his son think he died which is horrible enough on his own #but then still interacing with him enough for said child to trust him with the care of dipper and mabel and...#idk i was into the theory a bunch as a kid too but that just doesn't feel good y'know
