Aimer Jusqu’à En Souffrir

i'm giving my twt a break from discourse so i'm putting it here: people who are like "UMMMM what does stan have to do w billford????" are either acting deliberately dense bc they hate stancest or they have zero media literacy lol.

ford fucked a dude that canonically parallels his twin brother. THAT'S what stan has to do w billford. and again, i say "canonically" bc it's obvious that their parallels were DELIBERATE. this isn't a case of just like, looking too deeply into things or w/e. the "same coin" theory exists for a reason, and although i don't personally believe in it, it's one of the most popular theories in the entire fandom specifically BECAUSE of stan & bill's blatant similarities.

i already wrote a whole damn novel about it, so i won't repeat myself too much, but i'll just say that believing with your whole chest that stan had NOTHING to do with ford & bill's partnership is actually insane lol.

ford subconsciously missing his brother and projecting his desire to reconcile with him onto bill, as well as bill PURPOSELY stealing stan's childhood nickname for him ("sixer") and copying many of his mannerisms in order to more easily manipulate ford are literally the foundation on which their relationship was built. stan's influence is present in their VERY FIRST MEETING when bill calls ford "sixer." c'mon now. even if you don't ship stancest, the link between stan & billford is undeniable.

i had been thinking

1st of all, bunny-earing someone in a photo is a fun, cutesy thing to do to a friend, a completely normal joke thing in today times.

2ND OF ALL, i also think its on purpose and might have a double meaning. it seems to me like Wendy's the only one with a 'cheeky' somewhat knowing look on her face, Soos is holding up a peace sign but when you bunny-ear someone it usually has a secondary meaning.

most likely secondary meaning:

MAN WHOSE WIFE WAS UNFAITHFUL?

Oh, so like how Ford didn't notice that his project had been messed with, he blames Stan, they 'break up', ford and bill meet, THEY have a falling out, then Stan rescued him essentially by unintentionally forcing him out of their dimension to find a way to protect his brain for his own good because Ford finally asked him for help. then Stan rescued him AGAIN after 30 years because that's enough time alone, then Stan kicks bills ass.

they chillin like old times

Hmm, anyways…

Stan and Ford both go and get infinity bracelets, the permanent jewelry kind, and they use that as their wedding rings. They know they can’t really get married, on land at least, and with how much they work with their hands rings would simply get in the way. Plus, they don’t need their friends and family asking questions they can’t answer

But international waters are lawless, so they have their own little wedding ceremony on the Stan O’ War II near the Bermuda Triangle (Ford insisted). It’s just Stan, Ford, and some sort of Siren-ish creature (a hybrid or subset of the species perhaps) officiating their wedding. They connect the ends of the chains, Ford connecting Stan’s and Stan doing Fords, as the sun rises over them. Giving each other a passionate and heartfelt kiss as the golden rays shine over them, reflecting off their and their bracelets. Like their bracelets, chains unlinked and broken, they have come together to form their perfect union, never to break their circle and to stay together for the rest of their lives

(And then they spend their honeymoon fucking nasty style)

I miss him

We know that Ford is incredibly guilty about Stan's death, cause he's the one who pulled the trigger, but what about Mabel?

She's the one who gave Bill the rift. And true she didn't know what it was, and true she was just a kid. No one blames her for what happened... no one, except herself

If she just hadn't needed that little bit more summer, if she wasn't so scared of growing up, Stan would still be here

Stan was the only one who tried to cheer her up that day. And what had he gotten for his troubles? He had to sacrifice himself at the end of the world just to save her and Dipper

Sometimes, she wonders if escaping Mabel land was the right call. True, she had Dipper to face everything together with, but neither of them knew how to face this. At least in Mabel land, she couldn't be used as leverage. At least when she was in Mabel land Stan was still alive

Mabel's a very forgiving person by nature. She would have forgiven Ford eventually anyway, but a part of her knows that the reason she forgave Ford so easily is because she blames herself, for all of it.

big fan of that face the twins make. they just look so distraught

also fiddlestan cause they make me insane

rewatched the episode where they dressed him like a WHORE

shipping chart thoughts

(billford always happens and they always break up. ford was obsessed when bill was his muse, then bill is obsessed after they’re no longer together and he realizes what he lost) (this dynamic is just canon, really)

(fiddauthor is always present at some point but in one route they end up together after canon events, and in another route fidd moves on) (it’s possible that they had a thing in college but consider it “typical college experimentation” because it’s the 70s and denial is strong. they still go through canon events)

(fiddlestan only happens during the fiddlestan route. otherwise canon events stay the same and they barely actually interact with each other. in the fiddlestan route they work together in the 80s and grow old together)

(billstan isn’t really romantic but it is a one-sided obsession. bill just can’t stop obsessing over the stans… for very different reasons…) (dare i say an unrequited kismesis dynamic?)

(ford and stan are brothers. that’s it. leave them out of the shipping dynamics.)

(fiddlebill isn’t really included here but i feel like the only way this would happen is if bill was possessing ford and wanted to fuck with fidd by using his crush on ford against him) (this one’s basically only possible if it’s fiddauthor-adjacent)
