Okay So I've Been Slowly Writing Down My Thoughts And Compiling A Basic Skeleton For The Twins In Time,

"ford dies first" "no, stan dies first"

let's be real. you're all giving the grim reaper WAY too much credit

Just followed for brilliant Stone x Robotnik, Stayed for "Oh they're actually chill as fuck okay-"

Anyways love your art, keep it up- (also slight pleading request for possible "Stone goes apeshit" or a "Stone gets injured and doc obsesses over defensive tech")

It was scary at first, but now Robotnik knows what to do (just talk to him)

ko-fi

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

EEEEE!! I love your stobotnik art sm! If ur open to it id love to see some more art of the pair interacting with themselves/each other in the future? 👉👈

Anyways, (eats ur art)

Stone has some regrets and Robotnik is learning some stuff

ko-fi

sigh, today i'm thinking about ford settling back into the lab after he first comes home, and seeing the proof of how hard stan worked to bring him home

stan was always the "dumb one" between them, always riding on ford's coat tails and slacking off. but he was able to do, on his own, without help from anyone, what it took ford 12 phds, fiddleford's help, and bill's guidance to do. just based off of ONE of ford's cryptic journals and whatever scattered notes and blueprints he was able to find, all while having never graduated high school.

ford having to confront how hard stan worked, how far he pushed himself, how smart he actually is

EDIT: also, stan only had journal 1, that's NOT the one he was working with bill in! that's his first few years in gravity falls, when ford was just as ignorant as stan was! there probably isn't a lot for stan to work with in there.

It's good you feel safe, Doc, but now is not the time to sucker punch your bodyguard.

goth agent stone is something i've been spinning in my head for the past couple weeks... i've been into goth for, oh my god around a decade now (albeit on and off) so i hope you don't mind if i ramble some thoughts at you as a jumping off point? it's a bit of a niche headcanon so i'm delighted to share it with someone ;; this is a bit of a long one sorry so feel free to ignore it lol i won't be offended

i can imagine stone as having quite a corp goth lean: pinstripe pencil skirts, black trench coat over a suit, cat eye sunglasses, eyeliner!! that sort of thing. not all that different to what he usually wears, just... spookier! i can imagine him in a lot of black leather too, given the whole motorcyclist thing. robotnik might be similar but with more DRAMA. he's a supervillain he's got style he's got flair he's got ribcage patterns sewn into his jacket.

and since stone's someone who sews (and is clearly quite good at it) he'd have so much freedom!! can't find the perfect ruffly blouse? make one! in the '80s especially goth fashion was about hand me downs and DIY he'd be so at home

as for music!! that's the real heart of it. i can imagine them both enjoying the classic, 80s goth roots type of music but i've always pictured robotnik as having an industrial/metal/rock lean. stone feels like he'd be happy listening to whatever robotnik wants to listen to, honestly, as well as some of the dreamier stuff like cocteau twins. music to sway and yearn to.

but uhh anyway if you want a peek into goth culture i'd recommend watching or reading interviews with bands like specimen and fans at the bat cave or just on the street, there were a lot of news outlets that interviewed goths back when it was this really crazy new thing. i'm especially fascinated by the ones from the '80s but there's some excellent modern bands too :-3 and for a look into '90s and 2000s goth there's of herbs and altars' storytimes, please mind the content warnings on them because they're quite heavy but i credit dorian with getting me back into goth after i'd basically abandoned it in my teens.

i did a little happy dance when i saw you were thinking of looking into this stuff, i'm very passionate and this is really just scratching the surface. i could go on and on as all my friends are very aware ;; but i'll stop now. thank you so much if you read all this

Rambling is a love language and I would never ignore someone rambling at me. Feel free to ramble more, even! My DMs are open if you'd prefer!

This goes to everyone, actually. I am very very shy and socially awkward, but I ADORE IT when people talk to me about stuff they love. Everyone is welcome to! I love listening, as my girlfriend would tell you, and I love learning. No excuse needed, you can pop up like "hey I feel like talking about polar bears" and I'll pay attention.

That being said ohoho, this is great! Taking notes, taking notes, thank you so much! I can tell you've put a lot of thought into it. I do agree Robotnik would be far more dramatic with his clothes kinda like that scene in Megaming where he gets his evil outfit ready and I wouldn't be surprised if Stone is the one designing his outfits!

I can also picture this:

Ever-hunger Demon (separate frames under the cut)

Task: Cut cucumbers

Task: Failed My headcanon is Bill is an incredible glutton and actually eats at every opportunity, as if it's just like almost constant hunger, he can't do much about it, and sometimes it's hard to wait for a full meal when there's a whole bowl of goodies (also if he doesn't eat - he just won't pay attention to hunger, you know, that's how it works in real life too!)

I also think he's a good cook if he really wants to cook, as if sometimes enjoying food is such hedonism indulging gluttony, and sometimes he's a dirty feral pushing something that has long since died down his throat

And I think Melody is literally 1 of 2 responsible adults who generally cares about eating properly in this house. The second adult is Stan. The rest are either lazy, or inexperienced, or who forget to eat at all xD

Oh I just had a question, which I don't know if anyone else has already asked, if so oops

Has Cat Stan ever had to deal with rude tourists as a cat? And has his family ever had to intervene?

No one has asked, so your gtg!

Nowadays no, he's an expert at dodging unwanted hands by the time the twins showed up. But when the museum first opened it probably happened a few times when he wasn't paying attention and tourists arrived early/ stayed late, or if Stan thoughtless grabbed something and got catified during work hours. Most of the time Stan would just hiss and run, but knowing his luck he probably got cornered at least once by an especially rude toursit and had to be rescued by Ford or one of the McGuckets. One of them tended to be on hand at the museum for the first year or so in case of emergencies while Stan figured out his business model.

I think that while it’s talked about a bit there’s so much untapped potential in fanfic writer Stan and fanfic writer and beta reader Soos.

You best believe Soos taught Stan how to navigate ao3 and post fics to The Duchess Approves fandom and beta reads all his fics which get a decent following.

I think that compared to Stan, Soos’s fics get a bit less numbers cause he usually posts in obscure fandoms or does original works but the readers he does have are extremely loyal and comment after every chapter.

Anyway Bonding ensues and Soos and Stan share fics all throughout Stan and Ford’s adventures together until they head back to gravity falls to see everyone again.
