#still stan him though

[noodles-and-tea]

For the twins in time AU, I genuinely wonder what kind of people the young twins grow up into because of Stan’s/Ford’s influence. Especially if it takes years for the portal to get fixed.

(Sorry if it seems like I already sent this question, I don’t know if it got sent the first time I asked)

I haven’t fully fleshed out how Ford grows up in the past but I do have thoughts on Stan presently

[doctorsiren]

Maybe you could call it Reunited Stans AU?

Also, how do you think the gravity falls locals would see those two? I think Ford would end up getting out of the cabin much more because of Stan. Maybe you could draw them going to town for drinks? I don't know.

I like to think the town locals would either be horrified of them and talk about them as cryptids in their own right, or just be annoyed by their shenanigans

I just remembered they’d be in their early 20s when coming to Gravity Falls haha

But yes they’d definitely start out as “those weird twins that live in the forest” but once Stanley starts feeling like he’s actually safe from that old life Ford pulled him out of, he starts going into the town, which then leads to him dragging Ford along

It’s probably a mix of both, where the town sees them as those odd guys and then also get annoyed by what they do, but also I think they’d think of them as a new endearing staple of their town once the whole “newcomer / stranger” title fades from them. It’d be sort of the same way Stan is in canon with the Mystery Shack, where even though people find him annoying, they also always come to the events.

Also Stanley 😭 your brother does not wanna be in that bar, let him go do nerd things

[flame-cat]

i love ford getting mad @ stan & accidentally triggering a flashback/bad memory recollection & that startling him enough for him to stop being angry

major wake up call. i love that man getting humbled

hmmmm yes i love it i'll take 20

bonus thing that happens Later

[joyfulhottubfuntik]

Forever thinking about the period of time before Stan fully regained his memory. Especially from Ford's perspective. Because, like, that's the brother he has just now almost lost and he is so immensely grateful that he hasn't. But here he is, watching their grand niblings and Soos tell Stan all kinds of stories about the time they spent together. And Ford realises that, aside from their childhood, he doesn't have anything to add. Because of course he mattered to Stan SO much. He knows that now, even if he failed to recognise that before. But his role in Stan's life has been mostly defined by his absence and the pain that it caused. So here Ford is, absolutely refusing to leave his brother's side but also being... well, not unable, just not ready to help. Because helping would mean having to tell Stan that they had been apart for most of their lives for reasons that were partly Ford's fault. And of course this won't last long and Ford will eventually tell his brother what happened between them and they will get over it. But for a short but painful while Ford sees a Stan who only remembers Soos and the kids, a Stan who is for once genuinely carefree and happy and wonders, whether maybe it's better this way, maybe that's his punishment for all of his wrongdoings. That maybe he deserves to have one of the very few people who have ever mattered to him remember everyone but him. That maybe Stan deserves to have his family back, but Ford does not.

Are there any Hurt/comfort interactions between Jerk-Ford and Stan? Something like Stan comforting Jerk-Ford from definietly not a nightmare, he doesn't get Nightmares Stanley kind of thing?

There was an adjustment period when Jerk Ford came back. Particularly when meeting new people.

Grenda: Who are you?

Jerk Ford: Jerk Ford.

Grenda/Candy/Mabel/Dipper: …

Stan: *looks over from his chair*

Jerk Ford: -Stanford, my name's… Stanford. That's what it is.

-LATER-

Stan: You okay Poindexter? You've been quiet since Mabel's friends were here.

Jerk Ford: ...

Stan: ...Did your alternate versions only call you 'Jerk Ford'?

Jerk Ford: ...

Stan: When was the last time before you came back that someone called you by your name?

Jerk Ford: A-... Long time.

Stan: ...Hey.

Jerk Ford: Don't try to convince me I'm not a jerk, I know what I am.

Stan: I was gonna say, since you only ever call me by my full first name, I'll do the same to you.

Jerk Ford: Just to return the favour, right?

Stan: *laughs* Yeah, of course Stanford.

[doireallyhavetochooseaname]

Hear me out, I've had a realization.

I entered my soft boy area.

I watched Bridgerton season 3, My Lady Jane, The Artful Dodger, Normal People (and you cannot get sick of the We Live In Time trailer) and have fallen in love with these cutie pies.

I'm tired of macho James Bondes and Mr Greys.

I want to watch early love confessions, consent kings, meet cutes, grooms crying at their wedding, vulnerability, awkward conversations, raw sex scenes, men babygirling so hard, men going to therapy, husbands, making mistakes and owning up to them, good communication, etc.

IYKYK

[thefallenangel2008]

I'm sorry, but the fact that Stan could have become just like his father but he still ended up being supporting and encouraging towards Mabel, Dipper, Soos and Wendy despite everything... I'm- I'm sorry but I love that man so much YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

stanford pines is trapped in a prison of writing.

his whole arc is about stepping down from this “special” and “unique” pedestal where only he and the “truly brilliant ones” can change the world, and in stepping down, he learns that he is just like everyone else, not above them and destined for greatness, nor below them and a six-fingered freak.

unfortunately, his reveal being so late in the show means that he spends most of his episodes lurking in the basement, hunting something supernatural, or dumping exposition. in a narrative sense, he cannot escape being this Enlightened Other figure because the story literally doesn’t give him room to breathe.

i think that’s my one big problem with gravity falls’ pacing, honestly. where episodes 14 and 16 bizarrely choose to exclude ford almost-entirely from the wacky shenanigans, and even in episodes like mabelcorn where he plays a role, it’s the story needing to explain ford’s role with bill

i think that’s why so much supplementary gravity falls media talks about ford or comes to us from ford’s perspective (journal 3, segments of the book of bill, lost legends) because ford would otherwise be left as a big exposition device

[fandomfluffandfuck]

Thinking about Chris mentioning how sometimes with actor friends you can see pieces of the person you know in their characters (x) and how he still is, after all these year, floored by Sebastian because, fuck, he knows so much about Seb and yet... he gets on screen and, holy shit, that is someone else. He can't believe how much of a chameleon his baby is. He's so proud.

I'm sorry, but yesterday I finished reading this Gravity Falls fanfic called "A Graveyard Of You" by m0rki on Ao3 and now while I'm (im)patiently waiting for a new chapter I physically CAN'T move past chapter 4. I am mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually UNWELL. So! If you want to read a fanfic about your favorite grunkle in a fez and cry over said grunkle then THIS fanfic is just for YOU!😃 (I am devastated).

[elliedafish]
