the older pines twins in my starwars!gravity falls au :D

Jedi Master Stanford Pines

He was seen as a rising star amongst the Jedi of his generation; powerful in the Force, incredibly intelligent, and firmly rooted in the Light. Many knights and masters clamored with one another over who would take him on as a padawan, and he was eventually paired with Master Jheselbraum, a young Jedi famous for her accomplishments in both research and in sentient aid.

An incident involving his twin brother during their apprenticeship caused his master to repudiate him before he could be knighted. He struggled to catch up after spending nearly a year without a Jedi Master to teach him, and never forgives his brother for ruining his reputation and his chances at becoming a Jedi knight ahead of schedule. He'll always carry the shame of repudiation with him. (He'll always carry the wound of his brother's betrayal)

He goes on to study the mysteries of the galaxy, of the Force itself

He had a run-in with a sith holocron in his youth, when he was freshly knighted and very self-assured in his ability to stay in the Light. He thought he could study it without being corrupted, but was wrong. The secret of that holocron haunts him to this day.

He couldn't bring himself to destroy it. He tells himself it's because he fears destroying the holocron would release the spirit within and allow it free, but really... it contains so much knowledge, if he could just learn how to keep the Dark at bay, he could learn so much. The thought of permanently destroying that potential knowledge was too much for him to bear. Instead, he called on someone to hide it for him.

After ten years of silence between them, he contacted his twin brother to get him to take the holocron away and hide it where no one would find it. That was 30 years ago, and he hasn't seen his brother since.

He never planned on taking on a padawan, but when he meets Dipper on a visit to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, he is immediately charmed. Dipper reminds him so much of himself, at that age; strong in the force, rooted in the Light, and fiercely intelligent. He wants to train him, to teach him everything he's learned about the Force (he wants to give him the opportunities that Ford never had, after being repudiated).

Stanley Pines, notorious space pirate

Grew up in the Jedi temple on Coruscant, alongside his twin brother. Where Ford was seen as having incredible potential, Stan was... not. He was less outwardly powerful in the force, no good at meditation or finding 'serenity', and his emotions tended to run hot. The people of the Order generally thought he wasn't fit for the life of a Jedi.

When Ford accepts an apprenticeship with Master Jheselbraum, Stan manages to find a master as well, though one not nearly as famous or accomplished as Master Jess.

Years later, when a mission goes terribly wrong, and a huge misunderstanding occurs, Stan is thrown out of the Order for fear that he's falling to the Dark side.

He does what he has to in order to survive; he becomes a drifter, he stows away on ships and works with pirates, he scams and does menial labor, he runs spice for a bit. He ends up wanted in various parts of the galaxy for various different crimes. He eventually manages to get his hands on a small spacecraft, which he lives out of for a few years.

When Ford reaches out and contacts him, Stan drops everything to go to his brother, hopeful for reconciliation. It doesn't go over well, when he realizes what Ford wants. Arguments are had, strong words exchanged, and Stan leaves with the artifact his brother wants him to hide. (He destroys it instead) (What Ford doesn't know won't hurt him)

30 years later, Stan is a fairly successful pirate captain. His crew is small, but effective, and they make enough to take care of themselves. Stan has found something that resembles belonging, in his little crew. The finality of his last interaction with his brother causes him to lose hope for reconciliation, but it also leaves him open to forging new bonds.

When he and his crew board a rival pirate gang's ship, looking to take back the credits they rightfully scored on a successful scam, they end up finding a small group of kids. It's Mabel, and her new friends: Candy, Grenda, and Gideon. Stan and his crew take in the kids, trying to figure out a good way to return them to their families without also being caught by law enforcement.

[paintedcrows]

Whenever Bill sees KingOfNJ's fics through Stan's eyes he just thinks they have the same taste in fanfiction (disgusting. unthinkable) continued

Canon/Headcanon likelihood chart

So I've been thinking about @macdenlover 's "levels of headcanon" chart (about how heavily a HC is influenced by canon), so I decided to make my own scale about how likely a HC is to be true (including different levels of canon) using queer cartoon characters as examples :)

I just spent an hour making this because I was bored. Enjoy. Image description under the cut.

Inspiration:

ID courtesy of @hatreds-og-imagedescriptions (thank you!!)

[ID: a chart going from 10 to 1, with explanations of the ratings on the left and images of characters with queer flags and descriptions of said characters on the right.

10: "Explicit canon. Clearly stated in the original media." Trans Barney from Dead end Paranormal Park. "Barney says "I'm transgender"".

9: "Implicit canon. Never explicitly stated, but 100% canon in the original media". Nonbinary Raine from The Owl House. "Raine never says "I'm nonbinary," but uses they/them and is never referred to as a man/woman (also, confirmed by Dana)".

8: "Creator confirmation. Never stated in the original media, but confirmed canon by the media's creator". Aroace Lilith from The Owl House. "While never mentioned/implied in TOH, Dana has confirmed that Lilith is aroace".

7: "Heavily implied. Never confirmed, but likely true (either by canon evidence or creator implication)". Genderfluid Nimona from Nimona. ""Aaand now you're a boy" "I am today" (anyway, the whole movie has trans/GNC themes)".

6: "Possibly implied. Hinted at in the original media, but could be explained as something else". Trans Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. "Doof COULD be transmasc, or the whole "raised as a girl" thing could just be for the bit".

5: "Fanon. Never confirmed, but generally accepted by the fandom". Aromantic Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. "While only confirmed to be ace, most of the fandom also sees Alastor as aromantic".

4: "HC with evidence. Headcanons supported by a dedicated fan's detective work". Bisexual Mabel from Gravity Falls. "People have noticed bi flag stickers hidden on Mabel's scrapbooks".

3: "Canon neutrality. Could be true, could be false, but overall makes sense and doesn't contradict the original media". Genderqueer Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch. "Maybe Pleakley is genderqueer, maybe he just wanted to crossdress for the mission, who knows? That's why it's a headcanon."

2: "I made it the fuck up. Based on vibes, has absolutely nothing to do with canon". Bisexual Megamind from Megamind. "No evidence, no explanation, he just has Disaster Bi™ vibes".

1: "Um? No? But go off. Directly contradicts canon (but who cares, that's why it's fun)". Trans Stanley Pines from Gravity Falls. "Even though flashback scenes prove Stan is AMAB, some people HC him as transmasc." End of ID.]

STANLEY JUST LACKS AN APPRECIATION FOR “RUGGED” AND “MYSTERIOUS”

[paintedcrows]

Revelations - Little peek at a longer continuation to my Stan & Bill accidental internet buddies comic!

After the reveal, Stan initially doesn't want to tell Ford his (former) internet best friend was Bill Cipher, because he doesn't want him to worry. Stan later doesn't want to tell Ford because he (and Bill) would rather die.
