#the twins! the TWINS!

[nocompromise-noregrets]

So I saw your headcanon about the twins standing in alphabetical order and it made me curious about how I pose them in my own art. I ended up going through all my drawings of them and I only found one drawing (out of seven) where Elladan is on the right, and that was for very particular pose reasons. Apparently my subconscious agrees with you!

Sorry, this is really random, but I thought it was neat!

aaaaa, thank you! I originally came up with it as a way of someone being able to tell them apart - it had been bothering me that everyone in fics seemed to be able to tell one from the other automatically although they're specifically described in canon as being identical and so I'd been having a lot of fun with people guessing, assuming, or just plain not having a clue, but for we've changed so much since then I needed Rúmil to be able to tell them apart even when he'd lost track of which was which (do heed the tags if you follow the link, it's Rúmil/Twins and the twins are also together). And then I thought of the British TV presenters Ant and Dec, who always stand with Ant on the left as you look at them and Dec on the right. And then I thought, you know what would be hilarious... XDDDDD

That's the Doylist explanation, anyway. The Watsonian explanation is that they're having a good laugh at everyone else's expense, making the absolute most of people's confusion. :D I headcanon that only their parents and Arwen can tell them apart visually, others who know them well have to wait until they start speaking, because Elladan is slightly sharper and more brusque and Elrohir is slightly more patient and softly-spoken - and those who don't know them well have absolutely no idea. Basically it's a giant standing joke between the two of them and the very few people who know them well enough to actually tell them apart either visually or audibly. :D

I am DELIGHTED that your subconscious agrees! :D :D :D

all this reminds me that I really ought to put that post together about my feral insane headcanon that we do actually get to see the twins in the films, or in RotK at least...one of these days!

THE SCENARIO IF STANLEY DID HAVE THE COURAGE TO ASK FORD FOR HELP THAT TIME BEFORE HE GOES TO GRAVITY FALLS AND FORD IS SOMEHOW CONVINCED TO COME DOWN AND MAKE AMENDS????????????

[artsymeeshee]

Haven’t collabed with @renconner in a long while for a mini comic (minus our big one, Instinct). We were talking about one of Stan’s lowest moments involving being outside with that damn sign, so we decided to make a comic with Stan remembering it. I’ve also kinda of assumed Filbrick would lie to Ford about what’s going on with Stan (Stan probably did too to some extent).

2 types of grunkles

[rorokonaa]

i watched gravity falls (LATE) this summer and absolutely loved it. so. much. one of my favorite show now HAVE THE OLD GRUNKLES ✨

[yujateaandpi]

y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.

Highkey one of the funniest parts of Gravity Falls is how obnoxiously close they come to revealing Ford’s existence in the early seasons but never do out of just. Cosmic levels of dumb luck

Episode 1 Stan nearly catches Dipper with the journal and it’s passed off as a gag about Gold Chains for Old Men magazine. In Time Travellers Pig they go back to the Shack 30 years in the past and miss Ford opening the door on them by literal seconds. In bottomless pit Mabel gives him a set of truth teeth that make him incapable of lying and he tells the twins TO THEIR FACES that he regularly commits massive tax fraud and if they had asked him to elaborate he would’ve told them who he was impersonating. In one of the shorts Dipper and Soos find a sentient omniscient mailbox that will answer any question in the universe, and right before they can ask it who wrote the journals Mabel shows it a video of herself snorting gummy worms and it kills itself out of disgust. The entirety of Dreamscaperers is them delving into the depths of Stan’s psyche, going through his memories, all while fighting his brother’s ex-boyfriend and it somehow just. Doesn’t come up. Bill never mentions him. Their grandpa Shermie never said anything. Their parents never said anything. Either the universe was conspiring to cover it up or they are genuinely all that oblivious

Only Alex Hirsch himself could convince me that, once Mabel finds out about Ford's metal plate, she WON'T stick fun magnets to his head
