In a world where the belief of humans can create gods and deities, Stan dies from an infection soon after losing Ford.

It’s just a minor setback! Or so Ghost!Stan tells himself as he tries desperately to figure out how to touch stuff again. It doesn’t help that Ford warded most of his things against ghosts.

One day while practicing to become corporeal Stan comes across a couple of weird creatures [a gorilla wearing underwear? Unicorn made out of corn? A horse riding another horse? What?] ranting about Bigfoot and how stuck up she’s gotten ever since she ascended to godhood just because some crazy fanatics turned the hunt for her into a cult.

Meanwhile smaller szories and folktales like them are trying their hardest to survive. But peoples belief is fading and soon they will be forgotten and cease to exist.

This changes everything! Stan knows a great business opportunity when he sees it!

It’s almost too easy to abuse the system.

Religion has always been a scam in Stan's opinion. So he might as well turn himself into a god.

Good thing Ford did all the hard work for him by becoming the mysterious science man in the woods. All Stan has to do is to make himself visible long to create Mr. Mystery.

The belief of the townsfolk grants Stan enough strength to become corporeal and soon enough Stan opens his temple [tourist trap] for business. 

People pilgrimage to his holy ground, pay tithings [entrance fees] listen to his sermons [tours] and leave offerings [cash] in exchange for blessings [cheap souvenirs Stan tells them will bring them luck]. They even take little statues of him back home and convert others to believe in him as well. [It's a fun tourist trap why wouldn't you believe the owner exists].

Eventually he even gets his own priests [employees] to help him out.

In exchange for favours Stan also promotes the almost forgotten and fading folktales he meets. They quickly become his most loyal followers. Stan may have scammed his way into godhood at record speed but he still cares for the little guys. He’s saving their lives and they could not be more grateful. 

The other gods however HATE him but cant do anything about it because he's not technically breaking any rules.

With every new believer Stan grows stronger and changes.

His lies turn into reality. His souvenirs become actual blessed artifacts protecting the owners and Stan becomes one with Gravity Falls. Its true protective deity. Time has no meaning and throws up a barrier protecting his home. The same one Ford has already studied in the past.

And when the zodiac fails and Stan tells Bill that that doesn��t matter because Bill will die here, Gravity Falls rumbles with excitement.

Stan spins a story about the deity protecting this land and how they will not allow Bill to break the barrier or harm them any further.

All Stan needs for everyone to do is to close their eyes and pray.

“Stan, we don't have time for your ridiculous lies!”

“Just once in your life do as I say and believe in me, Sixer!”

The people of Gravity Falls have surprising faith in their local conman and so do the kids. With no other options left Ford closes his eyes and says a short prayer.

When he opens his eyes again the world is engulfed in blue flames and before him stands the young form of his brother surrounded by the real life versions of fake tourist attractions.

Stan puts on his holy knuckle dusters and grins.

I'm on a time-tracking rewatch. 2x03 was 11 weeks before opening, and 2x05 was 6 weeks before opening. You're telling me he didn't tell Sydney for a whole month that he was hanging out with a friend who's a girl? It's not like he was keeping it a secret from everyone because Natalie knew early on he was spending time with Claire.

Whether platonic or a business partnership, if Syd and Carmy were building a friendship, it's strange that he didn't tell Sydney at all.

Was Carmy ever going to tell Sydney about Claire?

there's something about avatarism in the magnus archives having transformative properties that make those affected by it closer to and more in the image of the entity they serve... something about jude telling jon when he asks her about it that he needs to "feed it or it will feed on you"... girl it's already fed on you! you've been consumed by what loves you! you are an organ in the digestive system of a much larger predator! you are a finger on a hand connected to a stomach!

Chunky Yoshi! Also big respect to everyone who makes amigurumi with this thick yarn, it was quite the adjustment process for me.

Usually on the isle you just turn a blind eye when you see a kid crying. But a lot of people remember this one specific time when Harry Hook was little where they saw him cry.

Now to Harry it was the end of the world and he was making that known. His cries were heard throughout the isle, he was just a little guy and he was sitting in the street weeping. It made people wonder "What is going on in that house for him to cry like that?" And the answer? Absolutely nothing. He was just being dramatic as fuck because his dad made him leave the chip shoppe and cut his hang out time with Uma short.

Imagine being Roxie, an attractive and perfectly eligible young lady assigned to Project IBRIS, seeing the beautiful redheaded manager of the park hanging around your raptor project facility all the time, talking with her, chatting with her, getting to know Miss Dearing on a first-name basis...and then she goes and sleeps with your stupid Navy-SEAL boss.

Of course you'd volunteer to be a Camp Counselor on the park's new side project.

I just still do not know how to get around the fact that I go weird and distant and untalkative sometimes for no real reason. I can get around almost all of my other shit with some simple practical solutions but I really have not figured this one out at all
