For Your Consideration, Imagine If Stan Got The Same Idea That Dipper Did, With The Copier?

For your consideration, imagine if Stan got the same idea that Dipper did, with the copier?

"If only I could be two places at once? Hmmm..."

It would definitely not end well, but I think in the beginning it'd be semi-functional? Like copy Stan would run the shack, while "Stan Classic" would work on the portal. And judging by Stan's reaction to wax Stan, I think they'd get on swimmingly right up until Copy Stan gets too comfortable "running things" in the shack and Stan Classic wants a day of being Mr Mystery to get his mind on other things.

Also the whole thing with his copy having the same stubbornness, pride and self loathing that Stan Classic has, it's inevitable they'll come to a head.

Very fun to consider, also both Stans initially wincing at seeing each other before squinting into each other's faces with skepticism like: "Yeesh, I'm getting old." And "Hey, who're you calling old?"

Followed by both of them staring, then laughing. "This guy!"

It could be literally any time during his stay in the shack too, and imagine if it was when he was still in his 30's?? Like the 30's are where the eksistential dread and crazy ideas start comin', that'd be prime time for Stan to make a copy of himself to be more places at once.
