Your recent stancest ask about fem!Stan dating and Ford going crazy over it mentioned Stan possibly dating someone older and while you probably meant a bit older, I couldn't help but think of a 2Fords AU where the person she winds up dating is older Ford. And whether or not Stan and/or young Ford knows that the person she is dating is an older version of Ford, I still think it would drive young Ford absolutely nuts.
I'm SLAMMING my fist on the table, because NO, don't assume, alright?? don't assume I'm some coward who's into mild, few years large, age gaps. An age gap should be at the very least 10 years large, to qualify as such. And NOW, let me SMOOCH you sloppy, bugs bunny style, because adult Ford, especially 60s Ford, travelling back in time to "protect" but eventually being the WEAK ass pervert that he is, dating his teenage sister is. Fuck I'm shaking. It's peak ok?. I was looking for an opportunity to mention it, to serenade the concept, and you come into my house and you offer it on a silver platter. You are my brother now anon, I will die for you. Oh and, YEAH: young Ford would be fucking seething, either ways. Hell, if he did know it's him from the future- in that case, all the things he would normally be excited and frantic about- like asking himself if he made it, if he was successful with his projects and inventions, if he got to his chosen university, HOW did he time travel exactly- would be thrown away, second place, and the "HOW ARE YOU DATE MY SISTER- GO BACK TO YOUR DAMN TIMELINE" would take priority with the persistence of a fucking cicada in mating season.
I find it incredibly hilarious that there's so much ship discourse in the gravity falls fandom regarding more controversial ships with people arguing shit like "alex hirsch would hate you" meanwhile-
He does not give 2 shits about any shipping discourse, like these are literally his responses to getting asked questions like this, please stop dragging him into this
;))

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.
Having a crush in high school is mostly a embarrassing situation, but Ford needed to make it weird too.
Like man, he is your brother.
I’m sure this has been talked about before, but my brain exploded when I saw a TikTok edit of Stan and Ford with Would You Fall in Love Again, at least the first part of the verse—"Is it you?" I just now realized how obvious the parallels are between Penelope/Odysseus and the Stans.Especially since most of the comments agree that Stan was basically Penelope, waiting for 30 years and doing everything he could to see Ford again. I know a lot of people see it as platonic, but if you show me an edit with that song and that parallel, there’s no way I can see it that way. They are definitely husbands ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. Now I really wanna see a full edit or animatic of them with the entire song.
STANLEY PINES IS IN LOVE WITH FORD PINES HE WOULD RISK THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE FOR HIM AND YOURE TELLING ME THATS NOT ROMANTIC SHUT UP
