HEY HERE I AM TO DROP MORE INFOS ABOUT MY MERSTAN AU.
-Stan was transformed by Jimmy Snake who was part of a colony of merfolk, Stan lived with them for a while until he got the postcard from Ford. He still feels guilty for leaving behind the few beings who took care of him.
-merpeople doesn't reallystops growing. Purebloods get bigger than changed.
-Taking their scales out are considered self harm. Stan sells his scales.
-the venom is not located on the teeth but on poison sacks in their gums...their teeth has tiny holes and they act as injectiors. Purebloods have more control of their venom than changed
-It needed a very specific amount to make a changed. Less than this amount will give them a painful death...more than that will make a siren.
-a siren just focus on eating, is chaotic and murderous. While mermaid's would eat humans, their diets are mainly l seafolk. A siren's diet is humans, mermaids and other sirens(sometimes bigger fish if starving)
-Dipper is poisoned by accident when saving mermando. Stan had to give him more poison to save his life because was too low so it would kill him.(because Stan doesn't have his teeth he had to stab through his gums to take the poison out.)
-Dipper later bites Mabel because she wanted be a mermaid so much and then he does it for her(ignoring Stan's warnings to NOT do it) he accidentally use too much venom and Stan had to force the poison out so she had a chance to br herself.
-Ford may be a good scientist but he sucked on his description of mermaids, having a very low and useful infos(mainly focusing on their appearance and the superficial behavior)
-Stan has all the knowledge about mermaids, being a changed for so long he is considered a Elder and young mermaids trust him. He hates how the journals have no info about the lunar cycle, the difference of tide, about the true difference between merpeople and siren, the nature of the venom...
-The mermaids affect the mind with their voices that can manipulate, indulce illusion, force emotions or thoughts. For that they have a biggest resistance to mental manipulation
-Stan basically adopt Mermando after a conflict involving Dipper's transformation
-Stan's half-fish is a bullshark
-the mermaid voice have different powers it can :
+Manipule emotions
+influence their decision
+force obedience
+ drive someone into madness
+our cause permanent deaf

What’s something you really want Tao talk about?
Honestly the merstan gravity falls au I'm obsessing over with @q-ueen-potato but I feel bad if I go too off-topic on my blog, yk? So Definitely check it out on her blog!!!
Reasons to check out merstan au:
Stanley Pines is a mermaid - but got turned into one like a lycanthrope so Ford isn't one even if he wants to be
Dipper and Mabel also get turned through a series of consequences from Not Listening To Their Grunkle and Kissing Boys Before Theyre 18
Mermando gets adopted because child marriage is weird and gross
Fiddlestan with deaf! Fiddleford
Various angst lmao

When I first read the original tags to these awesome merStans - they were about the missing tattoos - I had an idea because I love Tattoo-Ford XD Then I read @eregyrn-falls tags also with ideas about how merFord could get his tattoos. So there are more than me who think about it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But my idea was silly (and not so well planned like Eregyrn's great ideas) and I thought it only works in German language... then there was this post and I learned that my silly idea works in Swedish too!
The literal translation for the Swedish (Bläckfisk) and German (Tintenfisch) name for squid (+ octopus) is "ink fish". INK FISH!You see, I just had to do this XD
And because of this already existing perfectly artwork I just needed to cobble together the mer-part with the tattoo refsheet (both from @hellmandraws ). And adding some more tattoos because I still can't draw roses.

Charity commission for @legendary-defender-of-fandoms of the Stan twins as mermen… just some ol’ merboys finding weird surface treasure to bring back to their niblings. ;) (Charity commissions are closed)

In the MerStan and Ford au, do Ford still need his glasses underwater or are they fixed because of Merman transformation.
Second ask, if you don’t mind, do Ford can turn human like any other mer and does he take Stan to see his grandmother, Caryn?
Sorry for the many questions, I just love the idea. I hope you post them in AO3 in the same place, they would be easier to find.
As for your last point, you're in luck! I have a compilation of my MerGucket ficlets on AO3. It's specifically the OG MerGucket AU, so it doesn't include the Egg Stan AU that I was posting about yesterday. But I do have them on AO3, and you can find them right here!
(As for whether I'd put other things up on AO3...idk, it's a surprising amount of work and effort and at least for now, I don't have the bandwidth to do so. If enough people nag me about a specific AU, I might put it on AO3. Eventually.)
Okay, now to get to the first part of your question, lmao. Ford does not need his glasses underwater, but on land, he does. I actually went and dug through my blog to find a fanart to confirm this. If you haven't seen the amazing MerStan and MerFord that agent-jaselin made, you can find it here.
The second part of your question, yes! In all my Mer AUs, the merfolk can turn human. Some variations have a better human form than others, but they're all able to go on land. The born mers have to be careful, though, since they don't have belly buttons and thus shouldn't let any humans see their torso unclothed. Since Egg Stan AU Ford was genetically rewritten to be effectively a born mer, he is missing his belly button as well.
I think eventually, Ford might let Stan see Caryn. When Stan's about five or so, Shermie reappears in Ford's life because he became Angie's mate, and Shermie works hard to pressure Ford into at least letting Caryn know he's not dead. Caryn knows everything about Shermie being a mer now, so Ford won't even have to explain the whole mer thing.
It does take a long while before that happens, though. Ford tries to block out most reminders of his past life, and that includes his older brother and mother. But eventually, Shermie gets through to Ford, and Ford makes a very rare trip to human territory to introduce Stan to Caryn.

Oooh could I request Hard Knock Life AU? Also I LOVE your merstan design, the colours especially are great
Thank you! I really liked the turnout. As for the Hard Knock Life, like I mentioned in one of the fics, Stan and Ford become super clingy with each other. With their mother having left, their father starting to get more abusive, and the bullying at school not letting up, they become each other's sole lifeline. They have to constantly be together to keep from freaking out or acting belligerent.                                                                                                                                    And in instances when they are being beaten up by Crampelter and his gang, instead of fighting back (becuase Stan quite taking boxing and Ford practically begged him to stop fighting back because it made things worse), they sit there and take it. Only holding onto one another for reassurance and comfort.

Me and @charkyzombicorn were talking and we made a new au for Gravity Falls
MerStan AU.
First of all, for you understand this au here the Merpeople are divided in two groups...
The Pureblood that are the merfolk by birth like Mermando
The Changed, that are the merpeople that were once human but got turned into merfolk.
The changed can switch between the forms by two ways: Touching a body of water or during a full moon(during full moon the changed doesn't have choice but assume the mermaid/merman form)
Tho become a changed someone must be biten by a merpeople
30 years ago, during his time scheming he got into the wrong side of a crime family and he couldn't scape he was taken hostage, he had his arms and legs tied and was about to be thrown in the sea...
When a group of merfolk, that hold a grudge against the crime family attacked them using their venomous teeth to kill them.
During the attack, Stan was scratched by one of the merfolk teeth, giving the merpeople a choice. Turn Stan or let him die.
The venom of a merfolk is fatal unless used to actively turn someone.
Stan doesn’t remember much of that night, he does remember drowning and then waking up at a beach or something like that before getting the most painful bite he ever got in his whole life.
Stan didn't understood what was happening, the changes in his body making him belive he was dieing, making him call Ford to apologize and say goodbye.
On the full moon, when the venom finally acted completely he found out he wasn't about to die.
Once he gets to gravity falls he almost told Ford what happened, in hopes his brother could help. They had a fight and never had the chance to tell his brother...
And no one ever found out...unless that summer

Ford still being dependant on the idea that Stanley Is His Family the way they both used to be from age 3-17 but then hearing Stanley had a family without him, he'd actually succeeded in moving past the co-depencance of their childhood but then Ford ruined it for Stanley and made Stanley practically kill himself. Ow ouch oof ow
Stanley sacrifices EVERYTHING for Ford.
His family, his friends, his health, his mind, his LIFE.
He knew the consequences and still chose this path because that MATTERS

Fidds: Hey, darlin'...
Stan: *teeth clicking*
Fidds: That bruise looks a bit bad, would you let me treat it, Stanley?
Stan:
Fidds: Okay - can I take these off? I can't get at your cheek with your hands over your head
Stan:
Fidds: Thank you, darlin'. Now lemme just--
Ford: *bursts in* Fiddleford, you're way too close--!
Stan: *snarls and starts lashing out*
Fidds: He was fine!
Ford: I don't know what you think Stanley is but he's not coherent enough for you to - you took his wrist restraints off??? Do you want to be scratched???
Fidds: He was fine, Ford! Until you came in loud enough to wake the dead.
Ford: Fiddleford I don't know what happened between you and my brother but that creature is not him.
Fidds: it is! Just because saying he's not will help you sleep at night--
Ford: No! Stanley isn't in control of his actions and cannot communicate, he is not the person you knew and treating that thing as if it wouldn't eat you if it was hungry and able will only get you hurt, Fiddleford.
Fidds: a thing? That's what you ....he id your brother, your brother that is sick...that sacrificed hsi own sanity in the hopes to bring you back. He left his pod just with the hopes he could get you back and then here are you...not wanting to do the same for him...no...you want study him
Ford: his...pod
Fidds: yes...his family

Ford, after his emotional outburst stopped the progress Stanley had shown, decided to completely emotionally recede into himself and treat curing Stanley like he treated a particularly annoying piece of homework. He can't help letting sparks of fascination and excitement leak through because he's never met an actual siren before, but he's also very adamantly refusing to acknowledge that the siren is his brother. Fidds is scared of Ford, he doesn't remember why quite yet but seeing him prod at an obviously scared Stanley, give him tighter restraints and never saying a word directly to him makes Fidds sick. He's not treating him like a sick person he's treating him worse than an animal. (But of course Ford can justify everything - what's the point in talking to him when he can't understand me? The extra restraints are so I can get samples easier and so he doesn't peel his fingernails off clawing at the dirt. Of course he's scared, animals cannot understand the difference between a hunter and a vetrenarian and Stanley is not the most intelligent specimen.)
That's exactly what i had in mind. But doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like hell.
Maybe a part of Stanley is still there, deep into his mind and feels pure horror about how Ford is treating him.
Ford can't see his brother under the grayish skin, or the sharp tail, the black eyes or the hurt fingers....he is just a specimen, a creature.
He assumed Gravity Falls caused it...until Fidds says that when Stan was a mermaid before even coming to Gravity falls...then Ford gets a different sight of thing...a bit betrayed that Stan didn't told him immediate when they meet(not that he was worth the trust)
Ford also fuck up Stan's diet by giving him more raw fish to eat than other stuff
But a part of Ford is sad...wondering how his brother looked and mourning because at this point, at least on his mind, Stanley Pines is dead and The Siren killed him

Fidds brings Ford back in like 5 years (he remembers working on the portal but shortly after testing began his memories get fuzzy, so it takes him a little while) and Fidds is like 'Ford! You're back! Stanley needs to see you because he's a siren and he's a little insane at the moment' and Ford is like 'Yeah I wanna see him too.' then when Fidds shows Ford to where he's keeping Siren Stan, Stan's eyes soften more than they ever have and his mouth closes until he looks almost human. He manages one scraggly "Ford?" before Ford storms over and punches him in the face - the chains rattle and all of Stan's coherence is gone in an instant, he's back to being a snarling spitting animal and Ford didn't even notice he was shackled until he heard the metal rattling, he looked Stan in the eyes and all he saw was a scared animal before Fidds dragged him away, yelling that he was terrible and Stan was almost better he had spoken but Ford just had to ruin it like he ruins everything. Ford isn't even listening to his yelling he's just watching Stan's teeth gnash and his fingers dig into the ground hard enough to make his fingers bleed without him even noticing
Yes keep going Ford....keep fucking everything up.
The fact Stan got a glimpse of consciousness because Ford and lost it BECAUSE Ford....is just precisely on point.
It adds because Ford didn't let Fidds explain or paid attention to his brother's behavior.
Will he try to bring his brother back to sanity or he think Stan is too lost?

Merstan au but Stanley turned into a siren...
Fiddleford's taken up responsibility of keeping him from eating people, he mostly dropped his memory gun habit for that and not a moment too soon (he doesn't remember why he's so fond of Stan at first but he eventually remembers that and why he's deaf). He keeps Stan fed with animals and vegetables and Stan is almost coherent some days. He can't form syllables around his permanent snarl but he (usually) doesn't bite at Fidds.
Fidds remembers that mermaids can turn to sirens if left alone too long, and so he's determined to help Stan turn back because Fidds erasing their memories of their relationship very probably sped up the process of Stan degrading into a siren
Siren Stan wasn't what i was expecting as soo. As i woke up but was what i NEEDED.
The drama the dedication, it's just chef kiss. Being turned on a siren during the bite is a thing...but slowly becoming one? The process of madness and loosing yourself?

I am into Merpeople so i introduce you to dimension M-3689
On this Dimension Rick Sanchez is a mermen..born into his pod that fell for a human and their science. He gave up his life on sea for Diane and then had their daughter Beth.
Sadly Beth was a human, for disgreement after Diane's disappearing...he left for other waters..
The Smith family grow and then Merfolk gene was assumed gone.
Until Morty was born, he was a sweet Merling anf for that entrusted to Rick....because they couldn't handle raise a merling or Jerry wanted the house smelling fish. They also lived too far from any big enough bod of water
Summer was born human, but she knew stories and tales about her heritage...she knew someone can be turned.
While hanging out with Ethan and the cool kids, they find a lake with mermaid and Summer let scape to be careful...Ethan mentioned gow hot would be having a mermaid girlfriend. Trying to please him she lets herself get bitten.
Later she wasn't what he expected, not hot enough, and left her heartbroken and permanently changed.....
(Inspired by my other au MerStan from Gravity Falls)

Jimmy is so sad omfg he shouldn't have let Stanley go that far away from the pod alone
He should have come with him. He shouldn't had let the emotional dependent go alone but he did...he failed with Stanley after saying he would keep him safe.
