#i love stanley i swear

[artisiumstudios]

Stanley goes through extreme head trauma that causes him to either suffer extreme mental trauma and/or even cause him physical trauma. For example age regression or now being unable to speak properly (maybe unable to read) has to relearn how to do that, basically he has brain damage. Now this could go both ways.

(also TW for suicidal thoughts)

Either ford is called in and is told that his brother has been in an accident and when he gets there to the hospital he is told that Stan now requires full time supervision and needs to relearn how to talk, walk, basically everything, ford still wants to hold onto the grudges and be mad for the past. He tries to reinforce this by thinking "oh yeah of course now that im getting settled in now of all times he decides to be hurt. Now that im finally succeeding he has to barge into my life and make ME have to deal with the consequences of his actions." (he thinks while anxiety bubbles up in the pit of his stomach a voice in the back of his head praying that his brother is okay."

But the moment he sees Stan bandaged up, with tubes and wires wrapping around and inside him, keeping alive, all he feels is guilt, he’s scared. Stanley once so strong and lively now silently laying on a cold hard hospital as machines keep his body alive. Its a slow grueling process, first off having to relocate Stanley to Gravity Falls and then having to reteach him how to speak, motor skills, how to read, how to walk, how to live. Not to mention the mental trauma. The exhaustion for both twins, ford having to make time to go with stan to his physical and mental therapy appointments, and Stan having to actually go through with both of those. It only gets worse as Stan regains some of his memories both from his time from the street and the the worse one, the night at the gym leading to him getting kicked out.

he already felt like dead weight for having to rely on Ford all the time, but now with those memories his self hatred and guilt comes back to him full force and all he wishes is that he would've died upon impact. Maybe that way he'd finally stop being a burden.

Alternatively, ford doesn’t find out and Stan is left to relearn everything on his own (when his memory gets better he has some “sense” to ditch the hospital since he won’t be able to pay.) Unfortunately that means he now walks funny and is practically unable to run, his eyes become far too sensitive to light, he’s can't properly talk (he decides to just not say anything at all, after all what’s talking ever done to him but get him in more trouble) and mentally speaking he’s just worse off then before (mood swings, extreme anxiety, and paranoia).

When Ford calls for him it takes a bit longer for him to get there, and when he finally arrives, Ford is worse than in canon, much more irritable, tired, swaying on his feet. Not to mention he has foggy brain which makes it harder to pay attention to anything, to his brother.

Ford gets pissed thinking Stanley is drunk or high, the few words he has spoken are slurred, he’s wearing sunglasses inside the house for Moses sake! Not to mention that he’s literally tripping over himself and that he went from crying because of the crossbow (although Ford is a bit more sympathetic on that one, it would be weird not to panic at a weapon being pointed at you. But even then, t's odd his brother is crying-) to huffing and puffing like a child, to looking extremely fidgety and anxious in the last 40 minutes. Ford gets even more pissed when he tries to tell him about the portal only to find Stanley messing with something else.

He yells at him that he’s irresponsible to show up drunk and continue wasting his time, that he has shown to be untrustworthy once again. Stanley stays silent and unfortunately Ford can’t see the way tears swell in Stan’s eyes once more, he can’t say the way the glaze over as Stanley begins to dissociate. Ford lets Stanley stay the night, saying tomorrow he must leave. In the morning Ford finds Stanley whimpering in pain, his sunglasses are thrown across the room as his brother hit his palms over his head over and over again. Ford panics trying to understand what’s going on, he tries to pry Stan’s hands but he can’t seem to, his eyes are squeezed shut tears flowing down his cheeks.

Before he knows it Stan is dry heaving, Ford quickly finds a bucket and hands it over. When he asks Stan if he’s hungover Stan just stares at him weakly, his speech slurred he mutters the words bright and hurts. Ford catches on bring Stan’s sunglasses over. It takes moment, Stanley's shaky uncoordinated hands place the glasses over his eyes. He finally sighing in relief, his breathing more calm. Ford looks around the room spotting where sunlight creeps through the wood he hand hung earlier that week, the sun shines bright, the snow probably not helping. Ford looks at Stanley close noticing a jagged line that reaches from the bottom of his neck up to the back of his head, guilt creeps into his bones.

Without thinking he reaches out, brushing his hair tracing the line up til he reaches the lower part of his partial bone. Looking at Stanley once more, he notes the small scars that litter his face and hands, the way he seems uncoordinated, confused, unable to speak. Like he's-

Oh no.

"First, let's get something out of the way: a human's ability to grasp reality is painfully limited. You don't even have free will! Don't believe me? Okay, rip a dollar in half right now. Didn't do it? Didn't think so!"

"PS: Look what I just ripped in half! Suck it!"

I love Stan so, so much for this.

[cammy-mcspammy]

All my respect and appreciation to the artists and writers who show Stan reminding Ford to get some sleep, but the sleep schedule aboard the Stan O’ War II would be so incredibly cursed.

On the one hand, we have Ford “Gets So Fixated On Whatever He’s Investigating That He Ends Up Working Until He Literally Passes Out, and Was Also On the Run for Decades With Few Opportunities to Rest” Pines, on the other we have Stan “Became Essentially Nocturnal For Thirty Years, Running a Small Business in the Daytime and Rebuilding a Portal At Night, Relying Mainly On Naps” Pines.

The two brothers with the worst possible sleep schedules are now in the middle of the ocean with nobody else for comparison.

Yeah, neither of them are getting the recommended seven hours.

Ok so not only have I just been SEVERELY COCKBLOCKED but I have also been SEVERELY ATTACKED EMOTIONALLY!!!

To my fellow FiddleStan enjoyers this is the fic that I have just suffered through with a plot twist so big it’ll make your grandmas head spin off! 10/10 it’s fucking amazing and I’m dropping the title to the ones who have not been blessed by this fic yet

Title: Penumbra

Author: Apuzzlingprince

Check it out it’s amazing! Had me droppin my jaw

[lively-run-away]

these drawings were done like a year and a half ago. like 2 month or so after the ultra deluxe version released. i was too busy doing assessments but i needed to draw him to cope with the work.

i kept thinking " ah i'll sketch it down and redraw a better version of these jokes" and then i never did so here you go. mostly just me making fun of the limitations that stanely must face as a little video game guy.

[arrietty-rune]

I'm going to be fucking insane i did more of this sexymen meme

Also check my art here i do cute stuff sometimes, if you like TAWOG, HTF or many others !! ♥

[artisiumstudios]

Idk about yall but I find him very pretty

Even when he’s a little traumatized

Oh and heres dipper and Mabel lol

[joicecubes]

It would also imply that either he had it on him when had first moved to Gravity Falls or Stan had it on him in all the years he’s spent running from the law and living in a car

OHHHHH STAN HAVING IT… he’s so sentimental we’ve already seen several photos of them he saved so i definitely wouldn’t be surprised, but like wow that paints such a tender image of ford finding it among stan’s things instead. grumbling about how he’s made his own home a place unrecognizeable, a tourist trap filled with useless junk, and he finds the photo and just stops in his tracks. a bittersweet reminder that stan is still his brother and he still loves him, and as bitter as ford is about everything, he did it all for him. and maybe that’s why he saves it, because as much as that angry part of him wants to just leave it where he found it, there’s a much smaller, more juvenile part of him that wants to keep that reminder close. and believe that maybe one day they can be what they once were. ugh. man.

(the post this ask is referring to)

[cringelordofchaos]

Anyway I was watching season 1 and I like how Stan really can't get himself to kill anyone (like any other sane eight year old) meanwhile Kyle is almost always down to murder whenever possible☠️ what is wrong with him lmao

more emotional Stan version (wasn't sure if it was too ooc or nah but I drew it anyway)

I love the analysis you did about Filbrick. The only thing that I disagree with is "Filbrick is not a bad father, because he kicked Stan out" because I do think that part of what makes him a bad father is that he kicked Stan out, that was a cruel thing to do.

Awww, thanks for reading my analysis!

Well, your point is extremely good. And yes, kicking Stanley out wasn't a great move coming from Filbrick.

What I wanted to point out by talking about that part, was that Filbrick's decision of kicking Stanley out was the result of a sudden spur of rage, mixed with the need to protect the other son. From his point of view, Stanley just admitted "Yes, I sabotaged my brother because I want to keep him stuck with me forever". Of course kicking him out wasn't the best solution, but it was the most instinctual one: your son is hurting the other? Separate them, before more harm is done.

But please, do not misinterpret my words: by saying that Filbrick acted out of a spur of rage (because that's what he does and it's clearly said in Lost Legends), I don't mean "Filbrick is a great dad". And by pointing out the reasoning behind it, I don't mean that he's Father of the Year and all fathers should be like him.

What I wanted to do was explain the reasoning behind his actions and how, according to him (and in a non-affective way), Filbrick was doing what he thought was the best for his sons and family.

Did he do it in the wrong way? Sure. Could he have done it better? Of course. Was it cruel? Sure it was, even though he thought it was the right thing to do.

Again: understanding doesn't imply accepting. I can get the reasoning, but that doesn't mean I endorse it. However, since it's interesting and it portrays a character more multifaceted than just "evil cardboard figurine no. 11", I wanted to show this to others too, so they can also realize that wow, even a background character can be compelling and interesting with some good writing.

(And nooo, this isn't a reference to another father we just found out he exists (existed?) and no I am definitely not writing one trillion posts regarding a certain someone what makes you think that)
