Personally I think not enough Fiddlestan folks take advantage of Stan's Grade A Grumpypants nature. Like you gotta break the hard outer shell if you want the sweet gooey center.

GUYS YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE POTENTIAL OF STRANGER BY LILLIAN MAE FOR FIDDLESTAN SHIPPING

"To be used is to be wanted Then if I am wanted, how can I complain? You have me on the ground before you Fully in your power, but I don’t know your name"

"With my head in the lap of a stranger I am not a sinner, I am not a saint A victim of my own infatuation Call me an admirer, call me a disgrace"

"We sat right upon the leaves I don’t like the weather, I don’t like the ground Not with anyone who knows me I don’t like the promise, I don’t like the sound"

Someone better make a fucking animatic of these two with this song right now WHAT

Funny Pictures You Have To Look Twice At To Understand

What were your impressions of the game, Mr. Crow? I had a bird’s eye view, allowing me to observe all the plays, and the team performed exceptionally well today. This avian observer had some thrilling observations about the game. Read More

responding to this reply on my post saying stan and fiddleford don't like each other - i was going to reblog and add it but i forgot you can't add videos in reblogs so i guess this is its own post now; anyway here's stan talking shit about mcgucket for almost a minute from the land before swine hidden commentary track. video description below the cut.

video description: a clip of the land before swine in-character grunkle stan hidden commentary. the episode is playing as normal, but the volume of the actual episode is turned down to an almost inaudible level and grunkle stan is commentating. the video transcript is as follows:

oh, gosh. this guy. yeah, so, uh… y'know, old man mcgucket… he's a bit of a - he's kind of a liability. i mean i guess he helped us save the world with that robot and whatever, um, but, y'know, prior to me realizing he was a genius, he was mainly just a nuisance. like i think i run - ran over him with my car a couple times. he's like a possum, he just runs out in the middle of the road. (laughing) i mean - y'know, everyone in gravity falls has run over old man mcgucket at least once. it's kinda - it's kind of a rite of passage when you're in that town. y'know, obviously i didn't want him on this mission, y'know, mcgucket-ing up the whole thing. he's a liability, i mean, let's face it! various tales that we didn't need to hear. that gold tooth glinting in my eye distracting me all the time. uh, y'know, i'm pretty sure he was responsible for getting us to fall off of this thing - wait, let's wait and see. yeah, there it is. called it! his fault. sometimes i remember things being someone else's fault but in this case i was right! all mcgucket.

So y'all know the Gravity Falls production bible that leaked three weeks ago. Someone in one of my discord servers pointed this out:

And, naturally, that spawned an entire AU.

AU Concept: Ford was kicked out instead of Stan and takes a job as a trucker to makes ends meet since he couldn't go to college, while still studying the weird and anomalous however he can.

Ford driving around from quirky small town to quirky small town, drifting through the liminal spaces of truck stops, meeting odd people in isolated diners, seeing strange things out on the road—a deer with too many eyes bounding across a two-lane highway, a flirty woman at a rest stop who doesn't blink or breathe, mysterious lights in the sky at night, inhuman growls on the CB or 50-year-old broadcasts on the radio—and taking notes when he stops for gas or food.

Aside from having gotten kicked out before graduating high school, Ford's the same person he is in canon.

He's still an ambitious guy, and here "ambitious" means working hard and saving as much money as he can—so, a long haul owner-operator who spends weeks at a time on the road. (He goes through a LOT of educational audiobooks.) Plus, this is the easiest way for him to get to travel the country; and since it looks like his "travel the world" dreams with Stan are dead, he'll take what he can get.

Since he's never in the same spot long and carries his life in a truck, almost all of Ford's research is in his journal. His bag of investigation supplies has an instant camera, a portable tape recorder, a thermometer, a flashlight, rubber gloves, and a few zip lock bags—and that's about it. It has to share space with all his clothes, toiletries, and nonperishable food when he's on the road. He doesn't have much opportunity to closely examine anything odd he finds, unless he's lucky enough to run into something when he can stop for the night. He has to cram his paranormal research around the side of his full-time job.

He doesn't live in Gravity Falls, but he knows it exists. Every time he moves—to Chicago, to Nebraska, to California—he seems to inch closer. He currently lives in Portland and usually hauls loads between the Pacific Northwest and Chicago or New York. He stops at the truck stop outside Gravity Falls when he can and has gone fishing in town a few times. He doesn't have the benefit of extensive research to know that this is the weirdest town in the world; but it seems pretty weird to him, there are local rumors about the town, and he's had some weird experiences in the area.

Plus, he can't explain it, but it's like the town's calling to him. He wants to move there, but it'd put him over an hour outside of Portland where the nearest jobs are. Maybe if somebody chucked him like $100k to build a cabin in the woods; but what are the odds of that?

He does know Fiddleford. Truck broke down somewhere and Fiddleford kindly pulled over to fix it on the fly. They looked at each other, had mutual knee-jerk "dumb trucker/hillbilly" reactions, and within ten minutes both went "oh wait you're the most brilliant genius i've ever met." Fiddleford's living the same life he was in canon before Ford called him to Gravity Falls—with his family in California, trying to start a computer company out of his garage—but they make friends and keep in contact.

One time Ford stops at a kitschy roadside knickknack store that also sells new agey magic things—crystals, tarot cards, incense, etc. He bought a "lucky" rearview mirror ornament that looks like an Eye of Providence in a top hat and hung it from his cab fan, and ever since then he's had weird dreams whenever he sleeps in his truck.

Things I don't know yet: what Stan's up to; or why Ford's the one who got kicked out. I tend to believe that in canon Stan wasn't just kicked out because he ruined Ford's college prospects, but rather because the family thought he deliberately sabotaged Ford; so in this AU, Ford would've been kicked out over a proportionate crime.

“Stanley wouldn’t actually be that nice to Fiddleford” “Stan wouldn’t treat Fidds any better than Ford did” WRONG u guys have no vision unlike me and I am exploding your dimension to liberate you so you see the stars (yaoi). Stan wouldn’t be nice to Fiddleford… at first. He would be too wrapped up in his guilt over accidentally pushing Ford into the portal to and preoccupied with getting him back, his defenses are already up from years on the run and he would assume that Fiddleford thinks as little of his intelligence as Ford does. He would be snapping and boorish and difficult to work with, but one day when Fidds gets fed up and begins to angrily storm off, wondering aloud why he’s even there, putting so much time and effort into rescuing someone who wouldn’t have to be rescued if he’d just listened to him in the first place, Stan throws himself in front of the door and begs him to stay and help him save his brother and opens up about their relationship in a panic, and the two warily wind up bonding over their respective complicated feelings about this person who they both deeply resent and desperately miss. And Fidds isn’t bad company, for a hippie, and it’s been so long since Stan has had anyone to talk to at all. And then, when Stan had to cook up a last minute scheme to get them out of some Gravity Falls monster shenanigans, Fidds actually called him brilliant. This guy is a riot! Blah blah getting stoned karaoke night as a euphemism etc etc… but in the harsh light of day it all begins to make sense. He’s just a cheap copy of Stanford to Fiddleford, that’s the role he’s played his entire life, and when he tries to call Fiddleford out on this, Fiddleford does call him stupid. And pigheaded. And… courageous? And creative? And caring?? And one-of-a-kind??? And… a good brother????

I'm just saying that if homosexuality had been legal in the '70s & '80s, then Ford could have married Fiddleford who was clearly in love with him, instead of having to rely on someone like Bill in order to express his innermost desires, even if it meant being in a highly toxic relationship. I'm just saying, Fidds could have saved the world
