To get into the Halloween spirit:

If Stan is little during Summerween, Ford will take him trick-r-treating. Stan gets nervous, he doesn’t want all these people to know about it. But Ford assures him that nobody will find out. Since it’s Gravity Falls, nobody really bats an eye at anything that’s out of the norm, plus it’s summerween? Who wouldn’t want to go door to door for free candy? Ford helps Lee with his costume, he’s dressed as a swash-buckling Pirate. Stan makes Ford dress up, he didn’t want to be the only one wearing a costume, then people might look at him funny and then they might know and make fun of him and hate him. Ford helps him out of his spiral by reluctantly wearing an old coat and messing up his hair, going as a “Mad Scientist”.

(“Put those puppy dog eyes away, Lee, I will not wear a costume.” “…” “Fine! Put don’t expect anything elaborate!”)

It’s worth it for the bubbling excitement and bouncing exuberance he sees in his Lee, his smile is contagious, and Ford finds himself grinning all throughout the night, even when he has to remind Lee to say his “please” and “thank you’s”, or at least to say/do something as close as he can to that. Lee doesn’t speak much when regressed, but on top of that he’s also incredibly shy around other people, so most of the time, he shyly nods and gives a small smile. The towns folk don’t really question or say anything, Stan’s the town hero, he can probably get away with murder at this point.

Ford would say he makes Lee hold his hand when they walk from house to house, but he does that all on his own; Ford is like his safety blanket.

Stan is so happy, he basically skips from house to house, swinging Ford’s hands back and forth, happy little hums coming from his mouth. He was really nervous earlier, but now he can’t even think of why! This was so much fun! He got free candy, his big brother is dressed up with him, and nobody found out that he sometimes isn’t grown up! He can’t wait to do it again!

Afterwards, Ford lets Lee eat more candy than usual, it’s a holiday, so he deserves a treat. But not too much, he doesn’t want his brother, big or little, to have a stomach ache the next day.

Lee was so excited to dig through his candy piles when they got back to their room at the shack, but with all the energy he expended that night, he fell asleep half way through sorting his hard candies. Ford drags him onto his orthopedic pillow, puts a fluffy pillow under his head, and tuck him in with his favorite blanket (it has anchors and boats on it), Shanklin 2, and Poindexter. He finishes sorting the candy and settles back with his journal, drawing his favorite memories of his little Lee from the night. He falls asleep half way through a picture of his brother posing with his plastic sword, the excitement of the night also catching up to him

Only Gravity Falls fans with media literacy interact with this post pls ok ok ok so do you think some of Ford’s resentment towards Stanley was in part because he felt like he had to “protect” him from Filbrick as the golden child? Like can you imagine if everytime you got mad at your brother, no matter how justified, your dad would verbally abuse him at best and kick him out of the house at worst? How much that fear would weigh on a kid? He loves Stanley, of course he does, and OBVIOUSLY Stanley isn’t the one at fault, he’s a victim, but what is a little boy supposed to do when he’s stuck being “the good twin” and any strike against his brother, no matter how small, could result in him getting hurt? How much anger did he bottle up? How many times did he force himself to turn the other cheek just to keep him safe? How horrible that night must have been, when everything he’d spent his entire life trying to prevent ended up happening anyway? How his dreams were crushed, a promising future was snatched from him, and the one time he actually lets himself get angry about it his brother is permanently disowned? Imagine how he must have felt looking down from that window. How angry at himself he must have been. How ashamed. Man I’d close the curtains too. Torn in half between feeling responsible for the suffering of someone you care so much about and feeling rage at them for being the reason you had to stifle yourself for so long. He probably let himself believe Filbrick’s words just to bring himself comfort. Anyway I love nuance I love analysis I love when characters are flawed in ways that aren’t excused but are still tragic and understandable I love critical thinking

Day 9 — Injury

I imagine that each of them occasionally shares random yet terrifying bits of personal history like it's small talk about the weather, and the other is immidiately disturbed and it's just.

"Stitch a wou- How the hell did that happen?! And how is it a fun- Stanley!"
