Stan Angst Imagine

Pairing: Stanley Pines x Reader Warnings: angst, public break up, Stan being mean :( Word Count: 494 A/N: I'M SORRY IT HAD TO BE DONE Y'ALL WERE GETTING TOO COMFORTABLE

The dim light of the bar cast long shadows across Stanleys' face as he sat across from you, his expression hardened by the weight of the conversation neither of you wanted to have. You could tell he was trying to keep his temper in check, but the tension in his jaw and the way he clenched his fists on the table betrayed him.

“Stanley, we can figure this out,” you said, trying to keep your voice steady despite the anxiety gnawing at you. “I know things haven’t been easy, but we’ve gotten through worse before.”

He let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “This isn’t about things being easy,” he snapped, his voice rough and edged with frustration. “This is about you not understanding when enough is enough!”

You flinched at the harshness in his tone. “What do you mean?”

Stanley leaned forward, his eyes dark and intense. “You keep pushing, asking me to be someone I’m not! I’m trying to keep things together here, but it’s like you don’t get it. I’m not some perfect guy who’s gonna settle down and live happily ever after. I’m a screw-up, always have been.”

Your heart twisted at his words, but you refused to let him shut you out. “You’re not a screw-up, Stan. You’ve made mistakes, sure, but so has everyone. That doesn’t mean we can’t make this work.”

His expression hardened further, the walls he’d built around himself rising higher. “You’re not listening!” he nearly shouted, slamming his fist on the table. The sound echoed through the nearly empty bar, drawing a few wary glances from the other patrons. “I’m telling you this ain't gonna work, and you’re just sitting there trying to pretend like it’s all fine!”

You felt the sting of tears behind your eyes, but you refused to let them fall. “I love you, Stan,” you whispered, desperation creeping into your voice. “Why can’t that be enough?”

Stanley closed his eyes for a moment, exhaling sharply before meeting your gaze again. “Because it’s not enough,” he said, his voice softer but no less firm. “Love doesn’t fix everything, and it sure as hell doesn’t fix me. I can’t give you what you want, and the longer we keep this going, the worse it’s gonna get.”

His words hung heavy in the air, each one like a nail in the coffin of your relationship. You wanted to argue, to tell him he was wrong, but deep down, you could see the truth in his eyes. This was tearing him apart for much longer than he'd let you know and he was convinced this was the only way things could be.

“So, that’s it?” you asked, your voice trembling. “You’re just gonna walk away?”

Stanley sighed, the anger draining from his expression, leaving only a deep, weary sadness behind. “Yeah,” he said. "I fuckin' am.”

He stood up, not even hesitating for a moment before turning and walking out of the bar.

Here's a controversial question for you gravity falls fans!

So we know how Stan spent 3 decades of his life dedicating to fixing the portal and bringing Ford back,but what if it were Stan that got sucked in instead?

Would Ford,the guy who punched Stan the first time he stepped into his home dimension in what has been 30 years,also the guy that would have NOT opened the portal under any circumstances,who also did not say thank you to Stan until the very end,do the same for him?

Would Ford try to get Stan back ?

was chatting with my brother about gravity falls (again) and i said something like “man, can you believe stan waited and worked for 30 years just for the chance to try and bring his brother back?” to which my brother responded, “yeah, it’s nuts when you think about it. i wonder if stan got trapped in the multiverse instead, if ford would do the same.” HELLO???

[thatonedudeinthecorner]

Thank you @petrichorandarson for suggesting I draw them hugging because “WDYM FORD JUST PUNCHES HIM AND MOVES TF ON”

[jinxx-42069]

Yeah thats not gonna happen, pal!!!

[one-real-imonkey]

Gravity Falls AU where instead of dimension hopping after falling through the portal, Ford becomes incorporeal and the only people who can see or hear him are the ghosts (and a few of the other magical beings in the town).

He works out pretty quickly what’s happening. He expects Stan to leave, he expects he’ll be trapped this way forever.

Instead he spends the next 30 years watching Stan try to bring him back.

Gonna be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that the fandom hasn't really tried to extrapolate what a Dipperland would be like, a dream bubble prison meant to entice specifically Dipper into staying the way Mabelland did for Mabel, particularly since we know what Mabelland was originally going to show Dipper thanks to the episode commentaries. I'd like to think that in contrast with Mabelland, which was very obviously indulging in Mabel's desire to escape into fantasy and never grow up, to the point that Mabel is somewhat aware of what Mabelland is doing, if not to what extent, why, or what's really outside of it, Dipperland would essentially leave Dipper in the dark about being in a prison and essentially play an idealized version of his life on fast-forward, where he and Mabel get to stay in Gravity Falls, he gets to study under Ford, their parents move to Gravity Falls, and several other things happen that sound too good to be true if they happened all at once, but the time skips/dream logic causes Dipper to not question it that much. Like, Ford eventually bringing Tyrone back, for example.

me personally, if i worked my ass off for 30 years to fix a portal to get my brother back, almost got it shut down by the fbi and some kids, then got him back just for him to punch me in the face, id freak the fuck out. id break the fuck down right there in the basement. (someone should write this)
