Okay stans expressions are everything to me. Hes so cuteeeeeeeee
And i love the title cards i can basically hear a theme song when i see it
Idk guys- Something tells me our friend AXOLOTL doesn’t have a lot of experience in convincing small children to follow them into mysterious wormholes. Sure, Stan happens to be a sad little kid, but he’s a sad little kid WITHOUT A DEATH WISH! What could and Lottie possibly be planning…
Oh wow I actually posted. Had a bit of art block- And if there’s something I know, it’s to not FORCE yourself to draw if you don’t have to. If your art is feeling like a chore- TAKE A BREAK. It’s supposed to be fun lol. But yeah. WOOPIE! Waddea know, another cliffhanger!

Lovely fic btw i enjoyed it:)
Instead of being 15 minutes older than Stan, Ford is 5 years older. Because of Filbrick’s abuse and Caryn being busy with her “job”, Ford had to raise Stan on his own while working hard to impress his parents. Now, Stan was 12 and Ford was 17. Stan had grown dependent on his big brother, often clinging onto him and begging him to help him build the Stan-o-War. Ford didn’t have a lot of time for his little brother but he always tried to make ends meet. He often sang lullabies to his little free spirit whenever he’d have a nightmare, and the six-fingered boy would be the first to defend Stan against Filbrick, despite his weak stature. The whole college and perpetual motion machine goes the same as canon, but it feels even more heartbreaking since Stan is a little kid here. He’s just a baby boy who’s desperate not to lose his big brother and be left alone with his father. Once Ford finds out Stan broke his perpetual motion machine, he can’t control himself. They argue in front of the TV and the fight ends with Ford punching Stan, and grabbing his face aggressively just like Filbrick does. This causes poor little Stan to have a horrific panic attack and crawl upstairs. Ford stares down at his six fingers and is horrified when he sees blood on it. He’s a monster. A monster who hurt his little free spirit because of some stupid school and some stupid metal. When Filbrick and Caryn enter the room, Ford just stands there frozen. He can’t tell his father because he doesn’t want Stan to get into more trouble than he already has. That night, Ford goes upstairs to apologize to Stan for lashing out but when he enters his room, he finds Stan’s room empty with the window open. Fear shoots through the teenager when he realizes Stan had run away. He spent 3 days looking for his little brother. His free spirit, his baby Stanley who’s seen him as nothing but a hero. All he did was hit the poor kid and yell at him, and that would be the last interaction they ever had. For no matter how hard Ford looked, he was never able to find Stan.
What happened to Stan? Maybe he’s out there somewhere, having somehow become rich and famous and having the time of his life without his awful family. Or perhaps he was hit by oncoming traffic as he scrambled away from the family pawnshop. We’ll never know. What we do know is that Stanley Pines, the baby of the family, Ford’s little free spirit, will always be haunting him wherever he goes.
Until the end of time.
