I love your ford and Mabel art! Would you take a request for a Stan and Dipper one? :)

I do love stan and dipper <3 I like to think that dipper's grief and anxiety over stan's memory being erased during weirdmageddon manifested as him being super micromangagey about stan's recovery and trying to track everything

teehee :]

The show definitely focuses more on the similarities between Stan+Mabel and Ford+Dipper for plot reasons, but Stan and Dipper being the stubborn realist family protectors and Ford and Mabel being the weird eccentric optimists is so. so.. I need to eat rocks

mutuals, non-mutuals, ops of years old posts, you can all catch these paws

I wish you all a very happy boop-o-meter halloween!

Hey did you guys know that i'm actually a huge Addams Family fan?. Well ya do now. That's why i'm going to.. MAKE A FUCKING ADDAMS FAMILY PINES FAMILY AU AHAHAHAHAA,perfect for spooky month (i planned this. i wanted to do another gf au but for Halloweenie). The parallels are uncanny my dudes. Uncanny. Stan being the loving but goofy family man,Fidds being the romantic and kind mom figure (i mean. he already acts like one sooo),Dipper being the weird and curious murder child (except instead of murder or torture,it's mysteries. like the scene with "there's only one thing in a girl's mind" but instead of "boys?. homicide" it's "girls?. mysteries"),Mabel being the fun and a bit dim sidekick to her crazy mad scientist brother,Ford being the crazy uncle that no one has ever heard of until he randomly appeared back home from the asylum one day,Soos being the frankenstein butler,Waddles being the hand (idk it squeals and makes pig noises. Mabel loves it),and Bill being Ford's crazy ex who wants to kill him (Fester ALSO had a crazy ex in Addams Family Values soo). The halloween spirit is strong in me and i am going to sniff out DRY with these ideas AHAHAHAHA. Outcast family who accept each other and other weirdos my beloved ✨. Also it would be SO FUCKING funny to see Stan and Fidds being all "oh cara mia. mi rey" cuz they would ABSOLUTELY fucking do that. Also Wendy is.. Grandmama,cuz witchy vibes.

Someone needs to take care of these nerds - Stanley Pines

Dipper and Mabel visiting Werewolf! Stan and Vampire!Fidds (who are married by this point, and both working to bring Ford back. ) .

Mabel almost immediately finds a dog chew toy (a joke gift from Fidds to Stan but turned out it was actually useful so..) and is excited that there is a dog. The lie is that there is a dog but it's a outside dog and they mostly come and go as they please.

Stan has ended up showing up to the kids in wolf form. Mainly when he checks in on them.

Stan has eaten a gnome because of the incident with the gnomes and the kids. A warning to the gnomes to never mess with them again. Stan ended up having to brush rainbows out of his teeth for a hour after.

Fiddleford's lies are that he just burns in the sun easily. Always wearing big sun hats during the day.

Stan getting wounded i wolf form in a way that's noticeable even in human form and he has a hard time explaining away.

Why Bill Hates Dipper

Ever since the Book of Bill came out, I've been pondering why Bill seems to love tormenting Dipper.

I don’t doubt Bill Cipher could find amusement in anyone and everyone’s suffering but he seems to take a special interest in hurting the youngest Pines.  This even goes back to their first interaction where Bill blows a hole in Dipper’s chest before Dipper had said a single word to him, as opposed to Mabel whom he ignored despite her attempt to tackle him moments beforehand.

In Sock Opera, Bill repeatedly harms Dipper’s body with forks, drawers, stairs, drowning, and who knows what else off-screen.  And in perhaps the darkest moment of any Gravity Falls media, Bill’s note from Journal 3 boasts about his ‘grand finale’ of killing Dipper, making it look like a suicide, and forcing the poor boy to wander the mindscape forever.  

During Weirdmageddon Bill repeatedly ridicules Dipper after Ford’s capture, teasing him with insults, Ford’s body, and burning his precious journals in front of him before ordering his Henchamniacs to eat him. In Mabel’s Bubble he responds to Dipper’s rejection by turning Fake Wendy into maggots and delivers an ominous warning to an obviously disturbed Dipper. 

This trend of tormenting Dipper has only intensified with the Book of Bill and Thisisnotawebsite.com.  Every mention of Dipper in the book is an insult or mockery, including two pages dedicated to embarrassing moments of his young life.  Meanwhile, on the website he tries to trick Dipper into staring at the sun until the boy goes blind.  

So why does Bill seem to have a special interest in making Dipper Pines miserable?

It could be as simple as the bully picking on the victim.  Maybe Bill thinks Dipper takes himself too seriously and wants to knock him down several pegs.  Or perhaps Bill resents Dipper for being the closest to what he considers Lawful Good among his family, or for trying to be a hero while categorising the town’s weirdness in opposition to Bill’s desire to create chaos and misery, or because he’s the primary antagonist and Dipper is the primary protagonist?

But Bill probably doesn’t hold Dipper in high enough regard for that to be his only reasoning.  In fact, Bill appears to have a very low opinion of Dipper, in comparison to certain other members of the Pines family. 

In both Book of Bill and Dipper and Mabel’s Guide to Mystery and Non-Stop Fun, Bill claims to like Mabel, comparing her free-spiritedness with his desire to spread turmoil. To him, fun and chaos are the same thing and Mabel’s all about having fun and doing whatever she wants, whatever other people think of her.

Ford worshipped Bill for a time, and is the one who summoned him and created the portal.  Feats Bill was so pleased by, that he apparently grew some degree of affection for Ford if the Book of Bill is to be believed; telling him about his past, ‘gifting’ him with dead rats and the like.  Even though Bill answered Ford's attempts to escape him with horrific torture, Bill still offered him the position of Henchmaniac when he achieved physical form, implying he was willing to put their past aside, on his terms.

Bill’s interactions with Stan are limited to entering his mind and the final battle.  Perhaps, as a fellow conman and trickster, it could be argued Bill might approve of Stan’s crimes even if he’s not exactly impressed by them.  But Thisisnotawebsite.com makes it clear that any affinity he may or may not have had for Stan is gone.  Now there’s only bitterness and rage at having been bested by someone he deems a joke.

Sounds familiar. 

Because it was Dipper who brought the others into Stan's mind and taught them how to fight back against Bill.  Dipper found Wendy and Soos, rescued Mabel and got the ball rolling on the resistance movement that led to Bill’s defeat.  In Mabeland especially, Dipper proves his tenacity by being the only one capable of resisting what Bill declares is his most diabolical trap. 

And when Dipper proved he had the strength to refuse his greatest temptation, Bill reacted by turning heaven into hell for a few moments.  Again, a member of the Pines family had rejected his promise of granting their greatest desire.  But this time, it wasn’t the genius Ford who’d rejected him and threatened his plans, it was the meek little boy - the lesser twin in Bill’s eye.  

Dipper isn’t wild like Mabel, brilliant like Ford, or cunning like Stan.  He’s just a kid trying his hardest to do what’s right.  A concept Bill no doubt finds hilarious. 

It’s one thing to be bested by a foe you respect or admire, but it’s quite another to be beaten by someone you consider a joke.  

But he was.  Repeatedly.  First by Dipper and finally by Stan.  

And it probably drives him mad. 

Today is my birthday! Yay!

I got this gift from @littlecrow4. Please check them out! Not only they are an incredible artists but an amazing person too!

the pines family flatout replacing the star symbolism that bill had to ford does always make me feel smug af

I love Ford but he is the twin that talks without thinking.

Everytime I hear 20-smth mad-scientist Ford say "I'm giving you a chance to do the first worthwhile thing in your life." to Mullet!Stan I actually feel like I'm gonna jump through the screen and kill him.

Who else is excited for “The Book of Bill?” 👁️

Fiddlestan, werewolf! Stan and the mental image of Stan some nights just a full on giant wolf.

And that means sometimes Stan just cuddling with Fiddleford in giant wolf form. Takes up most of the bed, so big and is hard to move.

Filbrick doesnt have to be a mustache twirling bad guy to be an asshole

Okay so CW for talk abt child abuse and shitty parenting

The interesting thing about filbrick is that the way stan describes him is the way a lot of boomers describe their parents.

The parents of boomers belonged to "the silent generation", they were people who went through generational traumas like. The great depression and ww2. These were people with lots of trauma and no therapy so they got to pass it down to their kids yay!

Also parenting styles were different then, and during the 50s/and The Post War Conformity and 60s: children were not largely acknowledged as their own people. They were raised to be mini versions of their parents, there was not a consideration for a child as an individual.

So Filbrick was a bad parent, yes. But he was also in a Context where what we consider to be child abuse was normalized.

Theres a tendency to make things 1 dimensional and say an abusive person always has to have the full intention to hurt someone just to hurt them and must be purely evil and set to torture with no love at all.

But like, the way Filbrick acted towards his sons was likely considered unfortunately normal or even Good. He may have even loved them in the way he knew how or was supposed to, but that doesnt mean he couldnt also do hurtful or even abusive things.

And that probably actually makes it worse for Stan and Ford. If someone does a thing that hurts you and you Know that something was wrong, you can at least feel rightfully angry about it.

If its normalized then you dont get that catharsis. You are left thinking that what happened to you was the way it was supposed to be. Filbrick doesnt need to be extremely abusive to have hurt his kids, he might even have loved them. But that doesnt mean he didnt hurt them too! If he did or did not makes little difference.

wip comic based off a tumblr post i saw the other day

Some people don't get it, but for me, like a BIG part of why I actually ship Billford in a specifically romantic fashion is because well... It just makes everything SO MUCH worse and more painful, doesn't it?

Like the fact that Bill CARED about Ford (and this part is certainly cannon, the romanticness of it might be up for debate, but Bill CARED, Bill LIKED him), the concept that Bill LOVED and still LOVES Ford even after all those years, the fact that Ford is the one person in trillions of years that Bill is open with, and that he can relate to, the one person in the entire multiverse he wants to keep, the one person he loves...

And yet, Bill still hurts him, he still betrays him, he still haunts and abuses him...

It just makes Bill so much worse

He CAN care, he CAN love

But that won't stop him from doing awful, violent, twisted things, even to the one person in the whole universe that actually MATTERS to him.

And that just makes it so much more horrifying and honest to goodness tragic

I love this because dipper is confused/surprised and Mable is 100% ready to keep that promise.

Fair warning: english is not my first language so I might be wrong.

In the site, didn't said that Caryn and his IRS Agent were the only ones to go to his funeral?

I see many artists drawing Stanley with a fake glove and meeting his mom there (which is already angsty and I love it!)

But I imagine Caryn all alone at Stanley’s funeral because Stan knew he would not be able to keep his facade in front of his mama. I like to think he would still be present but hiding and watching from the distanc. Just to make sure the people he had pissed off would buy into his last scheme as Stanley Pines.

Caryn grieving her baby with no support because Filbrick is an ass, Shermie didn't know Stankey, and ‘Stanford’ is too proud to let go of the past and mourn his own twin brother with her!

Then comes Stanley’s IRS agent frustrated that he was not able to catch that bastard. So what does he do? He discount his frustrations on Caryn. Laying down every scheme, every tax fraud, and the many states Stanley was banned through the years.

Leaving only after he makes a point of going to the coffin and whispering: ‘This isn’t over.’

I think one of the most tragic things is Caryn Pines and motherhood.

Like when we see her, it's quite obvious that she loves her sons. And that like many families, has a soft spot for Stanley. Because he's the possible baby of the family, her little surprise, her free spirit. Out of everyone other than Ford, Caryn was someone who loved Stanley. And who was in his corner. An example of this was when her husband and Ford were excited about the school and she immediately cut in to ask-

"What about Stanley?"

Just from that little bit we can see that she loves him. That she's always thinking of her son. So imagine you're her, and then you lose your son because your husband kicked him out. A teenager who can't face the world yet, and yet you're powerless to do anything. So you have to wait for your boy to reach out to you, and every day you wonder if he's somewhere safe. If he's someplace warm, and if he's eating a hot meal and sleeping in a warm bed. And for awhile that gives you some sort of comfort, because your baby's still out there somewhere. Not with you, but still in this world.

And then you hear about it.

The firey car crash.

And the person in that inferno was your son. Your free spirit, your baby.

Can you imagine, how devastating that'd be? To learn that your son is dead, and had died alone and in pain and fear. And the kicker?

There wasn't even a funeral held for him.

It's almost as if Stanley never existed. Like he was never important. And that probably ate at Caryn Pines in ways that cut deeply. Because Stanley was important to her, was important to Stanford and now he's gone and she didn't even get to say goodbye to her boy. She'll forever have a hole in her heart, a piece missing because her Stanley is gone. And she'll never be able to fill it because no one can replace her baby. And we don't know if Caryn's still alive or not, so there's the horrifying possibility. That she died believing that Stan was dead. That she died in her grief that only a mother can feel. That she died, unaware that the boy she grieved for was next to her the entire time. Forced to pretend to be his brother, in order to save him from his own creation and fix mistakes that he believes he made that hurt Ford.

So close to her son, yet so far away.

A tragedy.

*vibrating in place*

Okay so, thanks to the lovely mutual @localcanadiancreature62 I've been been thinking about similarities between the four pine twins. Mainly Dipper and Stanley, and fam I think that maybe Dipper takes after Stanley a lot more than he does Ford. Let me explain.

Dipper's main motivations is protecting Mabel. While he loves the mystery and gaining knowledge, at the end of the day Mabel's the most important thing to him. Dipper gives up a lot for his older sister, so much so that when he's possessed by Bill and Bill mockingly asks who'd give everything up for their dumb sibling Mabel without hesitation replies-

"Dipper would."

And who else do we know who gives up everything for their sibling?

Stanley.

Stanley spent 30 years giving up his life, his identity, his remaining family, literally everything just to bring back Ford. Because Ford's more important than anything else. Just as Mabel is to Dipper.

Dipper also has an uncanny knack for spotting con artists. This kid is always suspicious of free offers and deals too good to be true. Examples of this are the first episode when Stan offers the twins something from the shop. And Mabel is quick to jump on board with it, not questioning a thing while Dipper immediately is like-

"What's the catch?"

Or during the Gideon Glee arch, when Gideon was doing his thing at the tent and his advertisements. Dipper wasn't buying it, and at several points outright scoffed at things that were clearly a scam. He's even more critical of it because his Gruncle Stan isn't Gideon's biggest fan and Dipper surprisingly takes Stan's words to heart. Which we see in the episodes like Dipper trying to be a man and Stanley praises him for standing up for what he believed in. And Dipper's attitude immediately brightened at it. Or the moment when Bill offered a deal to Dipper in exchange for a puppet. Dipper was incredibly hesitant and even asked a few times if that's all Bill wanted. Who else is like this?

Stan is.

Stanley is critical of anything that seems off. Always questioning if there's a catch or if something else is going on. He's not easily bought, and neither is Dipper.

And finally Dipper and Stanley believe that family is the most important thing.

Dipper when he's offered the apprenticeship from Ford his first reaction after excitement is-

"What about Mabel?"

Because Mabel is one of the most important things to Dipper. In fact this scene reminds me of the scene when Ford and his parents are in the office about his scholarship and while everyone else is focused on that, Stan and Ford's mom is the only one to ask-

"What about Stanley?"

Anyways, Dipper's biggest thing is family. This kid gets into dangerous situations to protect Mabel, Ford and Stan with everything he has. And is more than willing to die for them if it comes down to it. And Stanley is the exact same way. Just like Dipper, Stan will fight tooth and nail for his brother and nibbings till the very end.

In short I think Dipper takes more after Stanley than we realized. It's all there in the finer details and it makes me feral just thinking about it.

Can you imagine how Ford would react if something happened to Stan? Like someone attacks him or an anomaly manages to get a hit in, and Ford he hears Stan let out a pained noise and he whirls around just in time to see his twin going down. Hurt. And Ford he just sees this and immediately it's just an all consuming rage. I'm talking he's seeing red, that's how furious he is. Because how dare they put their hands on Stanley?? How dare they hurt his twin??? Just how dare they, how dare they?!?!? And Stanford just goes apeshit.

do you ever think about the implications of stanley going by "stan"?

like. he and his brother both share that name. "stan."

but Ford- who wanted more individuality- chose to go by a nickname.

Stan could have gone by Lee.

but. why would he want to?

"Lee" would mean separation from Ford. And Stan wanted them to stay together.

"Stan" is the name that binds them together. It's a literal representation of how Stan did not let his brother go at any point after 40 years. How no matter how many fake names he took on, they all started with "St-" because he wanted to keep his brother as close as possible.

i'm ill dont fucking look at me

Day 20 of Sirentober / Doctober

Hands / Journal

You can tell who never made a deal

I was technically supposed to draw this, like, a month ago for the Steven Universe Movie's 5th anniversary, but I kinda got distracted... I really like how this turned out and I hope that excuses the delay <:D

‼️cw: blood, horror art

"out of all the grimwalkers, you looked the most like him."

Look at this amazing gift I got!

Thank you @littlecrow4! You made my Sona look so cute!

Respect the crazy old man.
