He Likes The Drama

Okay so I've been slowly writing down my thoughts and compiling a basic skeleton for the Twins in time, Oldies in the Eighties AU, where Old Stan and Old Ford meet up with their younger opposites in 1981 or 1982

So the duos are Old Stan and Young Ford in Gravity Falls, and Old Ford and Young Stan in wherever Stan was during his drifter days

And that's super fun and I can think about that for days, HOWEVER

They all need to meet up eventually, and I realize that when they are all still separated, I'm going to have to have Stan SERIOUSLY domestic Young Ford, and explain some shit, because otherwise Younger Ford is gonna get his teeth kicked in.

By Old Ford.

Because you cannot tell me that Old Ford wouldn't immediately jump his past self. It's on sight. That man has had his entire life to regret choices he made (choices THIS younger version of himself is making) and I fully believe that Old Ford is feral enough to swing a baseball bat at his own knees.

Young Ford like. Offhandedly says "Oh, some things never change, Stanley will always be immature." About HIS version of Stan, and Old Ford just cricks his neck around like the exorcist.

"Ford. You cannot fist fight your younger self. That's-there's so many things wrong with that."

"Let me go Stanley-Stan he's getting away! Stan! He's had it coming-let go!"

Fun Story to Share.

I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.

Well - she got this email this morning:

The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.

Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).

Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.

Hi hi hi hi

Hellllllo

Hi

Have a ramble because ahhhhhhh

I was explain Stobotnik to a friend (I explain some weird stuff to this friend

We got as far as Stone being left in the mean bean in S2.

Their thought when i said that Stone got left behind or otherwise he'd have to sit in someones lap was:

Why didn't Agent Stone sit down first then have Knuckles put in his lap they buckle them both up like that

And the mental picture killed me so please, have this idea because I need to inform someone of this omg

Sounds like a good plan

“The “Best Related Work” award recognizes works in the fields of science fiction, fantasy, or fandom that do not fit into the other Hugo categories. AO3’s continual evolution makes it eligible for this annual award. “

Like on one hand I totally get it, but on the other hand I think of some of the fics I’ve read (and posted) being "Hugo nominees” and I laugh so hard my spirit leaves my body.

happy pride to t4t with different transition goals

This is the same guy that posted that group selfie titled „yes, these are both my hands“

So...did u get deja vu?

Out of curiosity, is Robotnik even like a good agent? Like, is this man good at his job at being able to protect Stone or if he all talk no bite and then Stone has to end up protecting them both? If so, does Stone just have him around cause he finds him strange and endearing and wants to study him under a microscope?

Rob is more than capable of protecting Dr. Stone without the need for the badniks assistance

Stone has had previous agents who were also adequate bodyguards

its robs behavior and complete out the box ways of handling things dose stone find keeping him around possibly useful and well, kinda like you said "study" him tho not in an endearing way in the beginning
