Tumblr Is Like A Death Sentence, Love It Here Tho

What did you see, Fiddleford?

They're my children your honor

I'M GIGGLING SO BAD THAT'S SO THEM

Code Lyoko summary so you don't have to watch it:

Sock puppet.

Them

Stanley, ford and lil billy au based on concept of Ponyo.

Yes, billy would have his triangle form at the start and then change into more humanoid one after tasting fords blood (lil guys clueless and never talks, happy to just hang around with those two.

His parents are searching for him.)

Something I drew a while ago while being sleep deprived tbh, still am but I wanna look deeper into this!

Stanley pines I'll always love you. this feels personal. Too personal. Both Stanley and stanford. That's where my life headed at this point ☹️

Something I think about so much is just how different the Stanley Pines we see in ATOTS is from the Grunkle Stan we know in the rest of the show.

Like, have you ever noticed just how much more expressive Stan is in 1983? The guy wears his heart on his sleeve so much more than he does later on. At almost every moment you can tell exactly what he's thinking and feeling just from his face, something that will become a lot rarer for him. Even setting aside the portal incident scene itself, have y'all ever watched the Dusk 2 Dawn scene and just watched Stan's face? He looks so… openly sad.

It's not just his expressions. Here's a detail that only just occurred to me: you guys ever think it's weird that Stan doesn't just try to steal the bread from Dusk 2 Dawn? Like, you'd think his stealing habit would've originated from his years on the street stealing to survive, but no— he tries to pay for the bread, and then when he doesn't have any money, he figures out how to get some. It's surprisingly honest.

And just like… I don't know, his whole vibe is so different. He's come from this life of hardship completely willing to talk things through. He's emotional, he's open, and not exactly what you'd expect to see when you imagine what a younger Grunkle Stan might have been like. In fact, his vibe is so different that, in Journal 3, Ford writes that when he first saw Stan, he assumed he was just in another alternate dimension rather than the one he came from.

Anyway, it just makes me think about the transition of how, exactly, he went from one to the other. How we go from the "stubborn, frostbitten vagabond" to the "carnival barker" he is by the show's present. I think about that in-between Stan a lot. Realizing that the hole in his heart, the one he thought was caused by his circumstance for so long, hadn't disappeared even now that he had money and a steady place to live. Growing more bitter and grumpy by the day, learning that maybe it's just better if he shuts himself off from the world so nobody has a chance to hurt him. Seeing himself aging and finding himself no closer to saving Ford. Ship of Theseus-ing himself into the carefully curated asshole that maybe even he thinks he is.

I really lacked the ability to analyse or process what I was shown because of newly getting a phone at age of 9. at that point I didn't even knew person could HAVE a twin sibling (no matter the fact that I myself have a deseased twin brother. no one told me. NO ONE. THEY THOUGHT IT WASN'T NESSESARY TO KNOW???)

I just thought Ford was Stans double. Just his copy.

"Who is this. Stan is clearly better. why do we need him?! why did he show up out of nowhere go away🙄"

Stan was my icon, (at that point I was scamming ppl for amino coins in amino communities, That man was NOTTTTT a good influence.)

when I saw him being upset over Ford I got so frustrated I refused to watch the rest of the episodes, like WDYM this fake aah is now in the shack alongside pines family who is this stranger????

I defenetly DID NOT dig into their backstory.

I never understood Ford either. He always seemed to look so out of place and it bothered and threw me off. (All that just because this was exactly the way I felt as a child, and seeing it on the screen was so uncomfortable? I refused to accept that fact, I tried so hard to act normal and fit in that I never really tried to just accept it? I don't know how to describe it. I despised ford and never accepted him as a real character because the behaviour, feelings and his actions were too familiar. Life is shit and Man it's turning angsty, Stan twins ep killed something in me and I just decided to IGNORE it's existence.....

I just called him "that man" or "second Stan", And whole wierdmaggedon felt like a fever dream too.

Seeing ford with bill just made me go "wait is he evil too or what" I did NOTTTTT clock into the plot. No matter that I was actively in fandom till age of 11 (I still have few arts dated from that time good lord, I never understood what SHIPS meant either I just thought it was "good friends" so when I saw billdip making out it opened up a thought in me. Never have I ever touched that shit again. Ewh. I got so many Mabel and bill art tho, I thought they would get along both loving creative stuff and everything)

I understood how serious everything was after rewatching at age of 12 I think?

I will perish while protecting Stanford pines. His hate is NOT allowed on my page. No. Nope.

happy ten years of stanford pines!!!

i seriously can't believe it's been ten years. i'd love to hear fellow veterans' memories! do you remember where you were when it was confirmed stan had a twin brother? were you a believer in the theory, or were you a skeptic? did you call him stanley? did you think he was dipper and mabel's grandfather? reminisce!!

Pov: you slanderer all might
