#centaur mcgucket

[birdskullz]

god, i love the monster falls au. so much

i was struggling to figure out what fidds would be, and then my brain went "ur overthinking it, make him a centaur" and i was like, can't argue with that! it works, especially if he's part paint horse lol

and of course, classic gargoyle stan!! + mags, who's design is heavily based off of harpy eda from toh !!! harpy eda design goes harddd

[s1x-foot-deep]

@crtvirus ok i know this isnt exactly what u asked & i did absolutely LOVE the designs for monster falls back in the day but even so i didnt vibe with them entirely SO!!! i wanted to make my own "monster" designs <3

both stans are Grotesques, different types technically. their parents were a gargoyle and centaur, and shermie was a centaur

dipper and mabel's parents are a centaur and some type of fae. mabel IS semi-magical but its not controlled, and very minimal as the twins take after their centaur parent

pacifica is a wingless gryphon/griffin/griffon, and being wingless is a sore spot for her

wendy is an axehandle hound! & all her family are different Fearsome Critters. soos is a sasquatch cuz i wanted him to be & that way he can stay relatively the same. hes already perfect just as he is<3

ideas not in this post for other characters: gideon has a monster parasite controlling him under all that hair(like a headcrab kind of), robbie i think would be similar to The Rake in shape if u remember that creepypasta, & i think mcgucket could be a werewolf for the symbolism of losing ones self & also cuz i want him to be a werewolf. i can do anything forever

Blind Faith au by @gravity-what and @thesnadger

However, while Ford cannot see fully due to losing his glasses, what little he can see is starting to take its toll. This mounting paranoia and fear eventually reaches a Boling point and leads to Ford attempting to blind Stan to keep him safe from the horrors (In some versions he succeeds, in others he only manages to do so for one eye) Eventually the two manage to leave this dimension and they begin travelling the multiverse.

I can see the punishment Stan has for trying to get rid of the gift it to be stuck longer as a horse

​lol XD what if at times when Stan tried to get rid of his curse, the fae or fae spirit had a little fun with him too. Like one time they turned him into a horse outside of the cycle. Another time, they gave him a centaur body etc

oh yeah for sure one of the punishments is making him take horse form during a time he wouldn't normally be forced into a horse form and being stuck in it for a while. he also, when he's first starting out, struggles to control which form he's in. between these two things, he definitely spends a lot of time as a horse. some of the friends of the McGuckets or regular visits to the ranch get to know "Hardtack" well.

ooooooh centaur Stan...

Stan absolutely DESPISES that like, couple hours. he prefers being a horse or a human. one or the other. not a weird middle ground.

[thelastspeecher]

in Horse Boy Stan AU, by the time Stan gets control over the "gift" (aka switching between horse and human form), he's come to accept and even embrace it. sure, being stuck as a horse for three days every few months isn't the greatest, but he can work around it. and it's kinda...fun? being a horse. he enters his first competition as a horse during the months he works on controlling the gift, and actually does well. he doesn't get first, but he still places.

but Stan doesn't feel so charitably towards the gift at first. it takes him a while to reach that.

Stan spends the first few months trying to find a way to get rid of the gift. the McGuckets warn him that doing so may upset the Fair Folk. fae don't like humans being "ungrateful" of the gifts they give them. but Stan doesn't listen.

before Stan finally accepts and embraces the gift, he gets punished by the fae a few times. he gets his ability to turn human revoked for a week or two, is forced to live with a family that doesn't know his situation and just thinks he's a regular horse (how does the fae manage this? idk but they got magic), turned into a centaur for a solid day and a half, and finally, of course, gets turned into a cute little foal for some time.

but despite the punishments, Stan doesn't give up on finding a way out of the gift until he accepts it. which he does about two months before he gets full control over the gift.

the fae that has been punishing him sighs in relief. it's been exhausting coming up with new punishments.

Hide in the stable and in a horses box until the centaur hours wears off

​jansdjklfnjkasdf I mean that's basically what he has to do. he's soooooooo pissed lmao. the McGuckets tease him endlessly for trying to get around the "gift"
