#sometimes it’s fun for it to be lighter

On what age range does Stan regress? And also what type of agree gear does be use? Just politely asking as a fren :3

Yes! Thank you friend for the ask! There’s going to be more coming this way because I’ll have entirely too much time on my hands in the next few days! So please enjoy this too!

Can you guys tell what book I apparently really like?

I don’t think there’s a solid age he regresses down to, like consistently, I think it’s around the 2-5 mark, unless something happens or he’s feeling extremely distressed, then he regresses down younger. Which, in that case, means he HAS to have someone take care of him. Which is probably going to be Ford, he’s the only one he can really trust to care for him in the way he needs when he feels that young.

As for gear, it depends.

If Fiddleford is his caregiver (and even though this would be in the early 80s we are going to be anachronistic. This is fiction we can take liberties) then he’s getting at least one pacifier. Fidds probably made it for Stan so he doesn’t mess up his teeth even more, and he probably made it to have a cute little nickname spelled out. I like to think Fidds uses food/southern nicknames for Stanley when regressed, so think something like “Pumpkin” or “Junebug”. He does have his “Poindexter” plush that he’s had since he was 19, but Fidds does win him a really big Duck plush when the fair comes to Gravity Falls. He has some sippy cups because he has a tendency to tilt the cup all the way up and pour his drink all down his face and clothes. He really only has some footie pajamas for when it gets to be winter up there. It’s not easy to come by someone who will custom make clothes in gravity falls, especially nothing like the kind of clothes Stan wants. So he mostly settles for some softer clothing with fun designs and patterns. Nothing vibrant that’ll hurt his eyes. Sweats and grandma sweaters mostly. Fidds makes sure he has a lot of paper and coloring books with as many crayons and markers as he wants. He loves to color and draw. He also has some blocks, a lite brite for when the lights needs to be off so his eyes can rest, play doh, and fighting robots to name a few. He has a few story books that Fidds will read to him. Fidds wants to spoil him, but he knows that he can’t buy Stan everything he wants to, so he does what he can (for now…)

If Ford is his caregiver (we’re doing Grunkle Ford for now) then he is going to do his best to spoil Stan with all he wants as much as possible. From buying stuff online (the internet is marvelous!) to making/inventing it. Ford’s got Stan enough pacifiers stashed around the ship and later shack to have a different one every day. He’s getting Stan sippy cups of all kinds of patterns and designs. it’s easier than cups for him if he’s got dentures since he likes to take those out. He’s got one bottle for the times he’s feeling extra small. He’s got some nice and warm footie pajamas for when they’re in the Arctic, and some lighter ones for more general use-sometimes his brother just needs a lazy day where he can wear what’s basically pajamas. Those kinds of footies are going to be the kind that are animal themed with the ears and tails-Ford thinks they’re so cute. He’s also got some nautical themes pajama sets for the summers spent in Gravity Falls. That’s not even accounting for all the soft handmade sweaters Stan’s got from Mabel that he wears-his favorite having dinos on it-and the soft pants and shorts he feels more comfortable wearing now that his secrets out in the open. I’ve already mentioned Poindexter, that’s a staple for any kind of regressed Stanley, and I mentioned in a few posts Shanklin 2, the stuffed Opposum Ford gets Stan after finding out he’s barely got any Little stuff. He will give Stan all the toys he had back in Jersey and all the toys he’s ever wanted. Legos, blocks, slinkies, playdoh, etch n sketches, fighting robots, hard to break tea sets, coloring books, fancy crayons (This is art, it deserves the best!), anything Stan looks twice at really. He goes a bit overboard, but he’s just trying to make up for all the years he’s missed out on. Also Goodnight Moon, can’t forget that book. That’s Stan’s favorite out of the multitude of books Ford reads to him.

Now if it’s just Stan regressing by himself? He only allows himself the bare minimum. He has Poindexter, an old onesie he allowed himself to buy a few years beforehand, and old and worn pacifier, some crayons, coloring books, blank paper, Ford’s old coat that he likes to wrap around himself when he misses him, a sippy cup, and Goodnight Moon. He feels guilty letting himself indulge. He feels ashamed to be acting like that, a child, to be needing his paci and sippy cup, even in the privacy of his own home, even though he can’t help it. So without anyone there to tell him it’s okay, he doesn’t allow himself to indulge or to spoil himself like he is when he’s being taken care of.

I am currently resisting the urge to write another animal transformation fic.

Shout out to Wakfu for being one of the only series where a character's skin actually turns darker as the show goes on (he gets lost in the dessert and gains a permanent tan for the rest of the season and until the end of the show)

[skunkes]

my evil hater opinion is that tails often enhance character designs but paw pads dont. not everything needs paw pads.

Love being able to write. I can do whatever i want. I can make Ryuji interact w Lala-chan and u literally cant stop me.

So you said that you'll try to write Lighter with specific headcanons in mind, so here’s an idea. Transmasc Lighter on his period

this reminds me of the meme (?) where someone says “if my nose is correct, one of you beauties is on your period. who is it?” and that is so billy asking the rest of the sons of calydon while transmasc lighter would just casually say “it’s me.”

but anyways, i have a personal headcanon that all of their periods sync up, so they’re all in pain together. he would try to not let it show though but i do think that he has his ways of alleviating period cramps so that he can still practice and spar, especially back when he was fighting in the ember arena. supposedly, consistent exercising makes period flow much lighter and helps with cramps so maybe he’s the kind to track his cycle and plan accordingly.

i also think that he gets mood swings, not too bad but it is a little easier for him to get pissed off when he’s on his period. he’s already pretty straightforward from what we’ve seen of him in game, i can just imagine him getting really frustrated quickly or suddenly having the urge to see you.

also in the name of drip, he has to wear his relatively tight pants (are they jeans? i’m not so sure) but on his period, HE’S SWITCHING OUT. it is NOT a fun experience for him down there so i’d like to think that when he’s not out and about, he’s choosing more comfortable clothing.

Both love and hate the absolute DELUGE of ink a fresh sharpie unleashes onto the paper the instant it makes contact…. I have complicated feelings towards the deluge lmao

[nonuggetshere]

Oh I can't wait to refine and finally post the designs for PK's siblings in my AU, it really looks like their mother ran out of ink while making them

for ppl that know my tf fan lore you would think I'd be ryu/kita pilled since I was blur/bee CEO but actually I was driven by my shock/bee instincts to be drawn to ake/kita instead <- none of these words are in the bible

@the-stove-is-divorced I know I said I'm gonna read your newer fics, and I know I did my homework to read some of them (I've just found a way to watch LMK and I'm gonna do just that once I'm finished with Danny phantom)

But I need you to understand that I am a weak nostalgic simple frog who fell for the temptations of rereading your older fics for the hundredth time rather than start on any of the new ones that I know for a fact I would love and I'm sorry for that

Winter's Giant

deep in the days of winter's cold, there comes one out of slumbers old

his footsteps bring hoarfrost, his breath is of ice

were you to stumble upon his footprints, you would be confounded by their size

but they are quickly filled in,

by a blanket of snow

as if to tuck in, 

the live earth below

his head reaches the sky, hair shaking the clouds,

causing small flakes to fall down and form into mounds

whole cities, whole countries, covered in this white stuff

and we laugh and we play in the giant's dandruff

Wtf do you even do for the foundation social media manager???

I'm actually in the Ethics Committee! The foundation (or our timeline at least) doesn't have a social media manager for obvious reasons..

I just thought running a blog like this would be fun, especially since there already seems to be foundation presence from other sites!
