Moral of the story: Don’t accept gifts that your nephew and niece bought for you at a garage sale. Cheap little snots. (He’s very proud of them.)

wrestles the mic back

People have dipped into the A Better World AU, and in-universe, the alternate Fiddleford says the Stanford of that timeline couldn't interact with OG Ford because the risk of a paradox was too high. Which begs the question: what's this Stanford like?

This Stanford who managed to fix his mistakes, achieve his dreams. Who did spend 30 character building years on the other side of the portal. The one who got what, in his mind, everything he wanted. He and Fiddleford created a 'Dimensional Vortex Neutralizer that allowed us to use the portal without any risk of a connection to Bill's Nightmare Realm'. They founded the International Institute of Oddology.

And if this Fiddleford is being 100% honest, Stanford is a 'star' in the scientific community. This literally can't get any better.

So this Stanford never got a helping of humble pie. He triumphed. He prospered. Yes, he had a darkest hour moment when he discovered Bill's manipulation of him, but in the end he succeeded. He lacks the physical prowess and durability of his vagabond countpart, obviously.

So, my takeaway is that this ABW Stanford's obliviousness to people's feelings and self-importance is cranked up to the 11 here.

I by no means think he'd be an unfeeling ass in this dimension, but he's an important guy, now. And I'm fascinated by the idea that he takes the wonders of the world, the strange, the unexplained, and starts explaining them.

Starts monitoring, monopolozing and studying, and I wonder if he'd ever go too far. If his influence would start shoving the wonders of the world into scientific boxes without meaning to. I imagined a scenario where amateur supernatural-hunters struggle to enjoy the unexplained because the Oddology guys come in with their gear and their tape and so forth to close off any new strange occurrence on Earth. How do hidden populations of magical creatures feel about Ford revealing their existence?

Ford disliked Stan for commodifying the weirdness of Gravity Falls. But who's to say in 'sharing' it with the rest of the world, he didn't do something similar?

I imagine he's a bit insufferable in this world. I don't think he'd forget his roots as the guy nobody believed in, who started humbling, but that amount of fame would go to anybody's head. And he's convinced himself Stan is a criminal mob boss with connections and cash and he's 100% okay. When he doesn't block out his memory.

This Ford never had the revelation that he didn't need to be the hero of the story. And he isn't. Once again, Stanely is. He took the book and hid it. And in the scenario, I've cooked up in my brain: Stan has sealed Bill Cipher in his own mind and body. BUT, since re-reading Journal, the Dimensional Vortex Neutralizer stops any connection to the Nightmare Realm. Is that sacrafice even needed anymore?

(Re-reading Journal 3 seems to confirm that Bill is…Bill. That while this dimension is safe from him, others aren't.)

For this idea to work, Bill would've had to have been suckered by Stan's ploy before Ford and Fiddleford set it up. And they only set it up because Bill was being hoodwinked by Mr Hot Belgium Waffles. (Yes, I love Stan and I'm making him the focus. Sue me.) The idea that Stanford thinks he (and Fiddleford) did it all by themselves only for the truth to include Stanley's clumsy fumbles with supernatural seals and bindings is funny to me.

This means that THE Bill Cipher is also not rummaging around in any other dimension, and he's stuck in this world with Stan because he can't return to the Nightmare Realm because of the Vortex. His only hope is to corall Stanley into shutting down the protective vortex his brother's set up. All Stanley has to do is resist the loud, grating, evil voice in his head that sometimes manages to control an arm or two. For the rest of his life.

Whose party buddies are in the Nightmare Realm wondering where he's gone. Whoops.

Stan-O-War boat adventures sound great and all, but I kinda want a whole series of incomprehensible slice-of-life scenes from the McGucket mansion.

Featuring an unnamed OC because I couldn't imagine anyone from the main cast in this position except Soos, and he's busy. She's his, like, housekeeper/pet vagrant or something.

wow wow wow wow i just scrolled through like 6 years of stuff and the headcanon that popped into my head is: stan's always cold. even in summer, because his scar is usually purple, and (from my experience) scars usually only do that when they're cold. obviously it could always be something else (maybe if it got infected or something), but this was just a thought that i wanted to share right now

Oh that's super interesting. I think I read something about that a while ago. That would be a reason it looks the way it does. Chances are, Stan didn't really bother taking care of that burn as a reminder of sorts (it's a miracle it didn't fester into something worse).

But I also like they dynamic of one of them being warmer than the other or colder than the other as some sort of balance for each other.

If anyone was wondering how Stanleys doing during the TeaTime AU. He's doing great [mostly]

[mother-ofthe-universe]

I've had a sudden interest resurgence for Gravity falls. those were some endearing old men ok

[mother-ofthe-universe]

i love stan because it’s usually “he can do no wrong” with characters but no. he can do all the wrong he wants and i’ll still be cheering him on. i actually encourage it, please continue to commit tax fraud and make vaguely threatening hand gestures at cops. smuggle pugs or whatever your crusty heart desires.

💥‼️REVERSE GRAVITY FALLS AU‼️💥

…heyyy it’s been a while since I been here BUT IM BACK TO SAY IM INTO GRAVITY FALLS :) tumblr is probably the best place to post these soooo I will :) I did go back to old aus and rediscovered this au which..is a whole story in itself but I drew them as kids and here is some doodles :D OH AND MY LIL HUMAN BILL

[mother-ofthe-universe]

posts this and then walks away

[mother-ofthe-universe]

I’m rewatching Gravity Falls, and seeing all the attempts Grunkle Stan made to get closer to the kids, while also pretending he doesn’t care makes me so sad 😭

Like episode one, Dipper was flipping through the Journal, and Stan asked him what he was reading to try and make conversation with him about his interests- not to mention the end of the episode, when he let the kids take something from the gift shop for free.

All of episode two he just wanted to go fishing with them, and have a bunch of fun with his family. And then now, in episode three, Mabel took the melted wax and built a statue that looked exactly like him, and he was so grateful and proud of her, that he reopened the wax museum, making sure to put her and her creation in the spotlight.

Yeah, he did come across as a vain asshole that’s so full of himself, he’d reopen an exhibit with himself as an attraction in it, but at the heart of it all, he just thought it was so cool that his great niece not only spent so much time building something with her bare hands for him, but the idea that she believed he was cool enough to base an entire art project off of him.

I’m pretty sure a gajillion people have noticed all this, and/or talked about it already, but I had to again for hyperfixation’s sake lol.

#the wax statue also reminded him of his twin! #that’s why he was treating it like a person #fun fact

[mother-ofthe-universe]

Stan is totally the type to become a (bigger) drama queen when he’s mildly sick.

He probably demands Dipper make him chicken soup, to prevent Mabel from adding toys or glitter to it.

Dipper washes his hands 100 times, masks up, and still gets sick. Mabel does nothing and is fine.
