system!stanley headcanons bc its canon TO ME!!

1. stan was diagnosed with DID/MPD ( outdated terminology ) sometime after the portal incident and then promptly Didnt Do Anything About It

2. stans most active alters are:

- Mystery: identifies the most with the body + is the host. hes a closed-off protector and a cunning conman, though he has a soft spot for people he views as his family ( ex: the twins, soos, wendy )

- Andrew " 8-Ball " Alcatraz: usually just goes by 8-ball. split to help the body survive in the criminal underworld they found themselves in after being kicked out. compulsive liar and kleptomaniac, but damn is he good at doing the paperwork for the mystery shack.

- Poindexter/Stanford: one of many introjects of stanford pines, but the only non-dormant one. Was the main guy who worked to get the bodys brother back, hes also EXTREMELY bad at masking. calls himself stanford, was given the name Poindexter by mystery because he didnt wanna deal with the fact that they have a clone of their brother in their head.

3. Poindexter had a breakdown when he fronted around stanford for the first time after he got back. Was under the deluded belief that he was the real stanford and the portal just beamed him into stans head.

4. they've never told anyone about their diagnosis, the twins found out after going through stans stuff in " not what he seems "

5. Poindexter is the soother of the system and is basically in a romantic relationship with the entire system? he works to make the others feel better, and sometimes that means soft masturbation with someone else in co-front. introjects arent their source but i wanna say that this makes for some weird incest feelings between stan and irl ford bc. sigh. i love weird incest feelings between them

6. 8-ball is banned from the kitchen
