likelookingatthings Go full metal alchemist ford!

greycoffeethe amount of angst an AU like this can create... dang i need this as a fic so bad

ilikelookingatthings@greycoffee The fact when you commented this so I told my sister and she isn't even in the gravity falls fandom...yet immediately pingponged alternate ways a full mental alchemist gravity falls fic au could go.

Stan as Edward whose brother's body was lost like al as a parallel to ford accidentally getting sucked in the portal and how stan was burned with a reminder.

. The burning house losing identity parallel to not turn back til he gets his brother back. A version where ford's soul was lost but not his body and Stan gets punched in that white void like when Ed sees his brother.A version where like normal full mental fird is in a suit like al and lost his body.

A version where Stan has to pretend to be his alchemist brother but can't do alchemy...just conning his way into people believing it.

How you coukd mix different aspects together. Professor Markov with his research and paranoia similar to ford. How maybe they tried to mess with a taboo. Like maybe they were trying to bring someone back....or maybe ford got tricked by the hulunculi becayse ifvhisctendency to push boundaries in research bht realized he went too far or something..aspect of government conspiracies and how the philosophers stone also connects gold/wealth which stan was obsessed with.

Even brought up a thought if a Stanford stanely parallel with greed and the prince. And a unending options defending on what ratio you lean toward .

Greycoffe@ THESE ARE SUCH GOOD IDEAS HOLY SHIT?? like another idea I got from one of yours is Dip&Mab being Ed&Al and after trying to bring back their dead loved one, have to move in with Stan (this version's Pinako) who's taking care of Pacifica (can be someone else, but I thought she'd be a cute love interest for either twin).

greycoffee i really enjoyed reading your ideas but I cannot for the love of me write out a fully fleshed out fic bc I'm already writing other AUs 😭 (i shall keep this in my notes however :3)

Ford could possibly be someone like Hohenheim with Bill being the homunculus in the flask, etc etc

ilikelookingatthings@greycoffee Ooooh that's fun! Cuz Pacifica abd windy are blonde..also some potential if she represents king Bradley's kid. What with her family being rich and the theme of corruption of rich government people. There is also the option of what if Stan if Stan is the alchemist teacher.....

ooooh or if dipper and Mabel represent Edward while stan is al.Personally off arc I'd picture her as from the north fortress from the Armstrong family.

or that guy with a mustache from the mining town who gets overthrown by the siblings meddling who gets caught up in shenegans and petty talks of revenge but who slowly gets a arc if being a better person.

Huh...just realized Pacifica could also be greed, the prince or Mei since her sense of importance and need to make her family happy and her struggle to understand friends.

Want to throw out there fiddleford could be doctor Markov. And for fun and not for real...Barry the butcher as stan.

Though if Pacifica is winry would that make that ghost who hates her family scar? Though if she's a Armstrong would that make sloth the ghost?

Honestly I get the feeling. I'm so behind on getting through my fanfiction tabs the thought of writing myself even when I have ideas to chew on can feel like too much at times.

I'm gonna reblog this conversation. See if anyone else wants to chew on this bone.

Extra thought...stanley and fird as Riza and mustang considering the trying to become mayor plot line and who we knkw gets injured in the end.

Also a funny imagine is while adjusting ages xan wirk...just imagine all the characters the same age in gravity falls and things get ten times more hilarious (or sad depending) cuz the government has a bunch of kid employees running things. Just imagine old stan and ford as the elric Brothers while the kid superiors are dipper and Mabel.

Was inspired by this

[punkeropercyjackson]

'I'm a genderfuck who hates infighting'You literally degrade trans women for headcanoning intended as male characters they relate to as transfem eggs because they want representation that's catered to them instead of tmes that refuse to view them as girls based on their agabs yet claim to be against t*rfs

ok who tf let the homunculus out of the flask smh

[niaojirou]

Thinking about CoS royed again... how it doesn't matter where Edward is, how far is he from home or who's standing beside him, he will always look back to the broken pocket watch in his desk drawer and think how he is always Roy's. I often see the interpretation of the state alchemist pocket watch as a leash, but rarely see any as a ring. I think both can be true at the same time because out of multitude of reasons, Roy also did— gave Edward a reason to go on living (as much as Ed is also giving Roy the same purpose¹). Amidst the tumultuous war coming in the background, with whichever side Edward was taking shelter in, he'd look back into the broken pocket watch in his hands, a pang in his heart over the silence of the gears.

Does their love exists in perpetuity or is it frozen and unmoving because it ended already?

Footnote for ¹ in the text above: I always have this hc of Roy seeing Edward as his salvation, sort of leaning towards unhealthy form of dependence. This is specific to 2003. Does Roy sees himself recruiting Ed (giving Ed access to undisclosed military documents that'll help him) as a form of salvation to the atrocious things he had done? The Elrics are a family to Rockbells, does helping Edward and Alphonse to reach their goal would make him feel better of himself? Because you see, he demoted himself ten ranks down after the conclusion of 03. (Main reason was because he lost Hughes and Edward, as mentioned in CoS deleted scenes, but the general idea of him exiling himself was because of his dream; becoming the Führer, as too costly.) Another reason was probably because he assassinated the Führer but we're not talking about that lol. Edward was the reason (or one of the reason) for him to continue. Had he been holding to that aspect of their relationship like a lifeline?
