fallen for the shooter (id in alt)

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

i’ve been thinking about “sixer, it would eat you alive” since i read it and. man. every layer you peel back makes it worse. im not a bill apologist but. shit

if you (1) take it at face value, it paints bill as an apologetic murderer in his single (and maybe sole) open moment of regret. he doesn’t let his walls down often- only with ford do we even get to see the remnant of his galaxy, see the “actual remorse” ford describes, get just a hint of his origins. but he does it, because he thinks ford should know.

if you (2) take it from ford’s point of view, as something he committed to journal three, like. wow. imagine being so committed to a being that you’d hunt down and kill the monster that destroyed his home, only to (assumably) figure out later that that being was the monster. the small moments of trust, the “good times”, are so key to manipulation. how long did ford hold onto that one shred of vulnerability? no wonder ford stayed for as long as he did. in his eyes, bill was a survivor. ford wanted to survive too.

(slight tw below for unreality- any time i mention our reality, i mean “our reality” as a narrative device used in the book of bill as a proxy for the idea of bill being in our reality, since he can’t actually be in our reality. all of this is a fictional theory about a show/book with fictional contents!)

but if you (3) remember that “even his lies are lies” and absolutely Nothing bill says should be trusted. Whoo boy. if i read tbob right the book itself is being created in the theraprism (even tho it shows up with the ciphertologists at some point? idk that’s a whole other post). it’s meant to show what the reader wants to see; it manifests in our reality as what the collective fandom wants to see. so if we want to see truth, if we want to see where bill ended up and who he actually is, there’s a non-zero chance that the whole interaction was a complete fabrication.

imagine bill, stuck in the actively harmful, probably earth-illegal theraprism, once again being forced to be “fixed” and molded into something more palatable, being forced to conform no matter how much it hurts. (i know natural uncontrollable mutation ≠ just so much murder and destruction and chaos, but. you can’t ignore the similarities. bill has obviously been thinking about those silly straws.)

he looks back on everything that went wrong, back on his relationship with ford, back through every dimension where he wins. would that one moment, that one truth amid centuries of lies, have saved him from purgatory? if he had just been open? shown his damage? maybe he did think of his parents, or his henchmaniacs (especially the oracle). people who he might have once opened up to. maybe he just wanted to open up to someone again.

so in his own weird way, stuck in a cell, he reshaped reality again. in this reality, for this fleeting moment, he had been someone worth believing. and ford had listened, hell, ford had wanted to help. looking back, knowing how he treated ford, knowing how ford ended up because of it, maybe bill would have said the most honest thing he’d ever told ford: i am the monster, i am not worth your time or belief, and i will eat you alive.

Guysssss!!

I’ve fallen down the hole again…

“What hole” you ask? Well I’ll tell you…

I’ve fallen down the hole of being in love with Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. Like bro it’s soooo bad, every video I see of them I’m literally smiling like an idiot and kicking my feet.

I need serious help at this point! I DON’T EVEN LIKE MEN!! I’M A LESBIAN!

Reverse Portal au, I know ppl for some reason say that Ford wouldn’t bring Stan back so to counter that I had this au in mind.

Reverse Portal au, where it seems like everything wants Stanford to stop working on the Portal but he somehow persists each time. He will get his brother back, no matter what.

He gets blasted with the memory gun by the Blind eye society, forgetting Stanley in the first place but the photo Ford has on him of himself and Stanley as children gets him to remember and goes back to working on Portal and now keeping an eye out for the Blind Eye, if he has to act oblivious now and more cautious then he will do so. But the problem is he needs the other journals, he can’t remember how to work the portal.

His grant money runs out, the house is cold and he doesn’t have enough money to keep working on the portal or to get food. He sleeps in Stan’s car for the night, he misses his brother. After seeing the state of his brother’s car, he slowly realizes that Stan’s been living in his car…this whole time. And now that he thought about it, Stan did look disheveled when he got to Ford’s house. Ford’s hands tremble and he cries that night. But by the next morning, he makes a plan and sell some of his inventions and idea to the government. He needs the money to keep going, he needs the money to survive long enough to save his brother.

He eventually makes a museum out of gravity falls oddities, selling out the things he once found comfort and he saw himself in.

He works for years, he misses Stanley. Scenarios run through Ford’s mind wondering if Stanley is still dead or alive, or if Bill got to him.

If…

Ford often stares at the photo, his brother, he just… he needs to work more. He hasn’t been working enough. Why hasn’t he brought Stanley back yet?!?

What good are his brains if he can’t get his brother back?!?

Ford spends a year taking a break. An off year, because he eventually reaches a limit, and if he pushed any farther then, he would have died and then Stanley wouldn’t have been able to make it back at all. Ford wanders Gravity falls again, wondering if he can bring back the passion he once had for the small town. But now, he feels like it’s a place of his failures, of his loss and the things he exploited.

Things start to turn up, when a small boy by the name of Zeus? Ah! Soos.

Starts being Ford’s assistant. Soos for some reason, believes in him, and seems interested in the anomalies in a way that Ford hasn’t felt in a long time. Something about it warms his heart, he thinks that Stan would like the boy.

One of the days working the museum, a visitor crashes through. Another one of his mistakes, Shifty the Shapeshifter. The creature is anguished by its abandonment. Not understanding why Ford did it.

It… Ford feels for them. It’s them now. Shifty unintentionally or not, saw Ford as a parental figure, Ford doesn’t know how to feel about that. Ford tells them that he can’t reverse what he did, locking them down there, but he offers to try to make amends.

Shifty, his child…. agrees.

With Shifty living with him, and Soos helping about, his house starts to feel less lonely. Ford wonders how Stan would feel about his new nibling. Ford wonders if Stan has a family out there in the unknown.

Things start to change again when Boy-ish Dan, now Manly Dan’s wife went missing. The whole town searched for her to no avail. Ford wonders if the supernatural took her, or maybe the society of the blind eye.

Manly Dan’s daughter is a troublemaker, stealing from the museum gift shop, going around with her friends spray painting the sides of buildings.

Ford didn’t like her at first. Despite her cool demeanor, she was certainly a troublemaker. Ford would not admit that he antics weren’t familiar though. He wonders if Stan would like her.

However despite their rough start, Ford ends up hiring her, saving her from her dreadful “logging” camp for the summer. He hires her to straighten her out a bit, if she’s going to do crimes might as well teach her not to get caught.

The name Fiddleford is a name Ford hasn’t heard in a long time, after the Blind Society of Eye, Ford tended to avoid his old friend not…out of fear of course but out of self preservation, he couldn’t afford to have the Blind Eye Society descend down on him again, not when he was so close. He has so much to lose.

But…Ford would be lying if he said he didn’t see Fiddleford around town all those years, looking more and more feral each time Ford saw him.

Sometimes Ford would quietly follow his old friend to the dump where his old friend resides in.

To make sure his friend makes it home safely. And occasionally he left a basket for his old friend and his raccoon wife. It ate Ford up inside but he couldn’t do much more than that.

When Ford first laid eyes upon little Mason and little Mabel, he practically melted into a puddle. They were so small, so so small. And even as small as they were they held onto eachother tightly, as if they were afraid the world would separate them. Ford wondered if he and Stanley were like that when they were born. He wished Stanley were here to see it.

His tiny itty bitty grandniece held onto his fingers, holding them with her hands. Ford couldn’t stop himself from crying. And almost practically kidnapping them. They were so small, he needs to protect them, protect them from this cruel world that would separate them.

In the end he had to give Shermie back his grandchild and Shifty had to practically restrain Ford to get him to stop himself from stealing the twins dna, so he could replicate them and leave the replications as decoys so he can find a place to keep the originals safe from harm, from anything.

For his troubles Ford walked out with Shifty, with a bunch of pictures of his grandniece and grandnephew. Stanley would love them.

I’m tired so I’ll do a PT.2 later if you want.

Tbh I’m sending u this because both you and E agree with me about Ford would never give on Stan in a reverse portal au

Hopefully you enjoyed

YOU. YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING THSNK YOU FOR BLESSING MY ASK BOX WITH THIS. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.

the way Stanley is just… haunting Ford the entire time?? the way whenever he meets anyone or does anything, the specter of his brother follows him, a comfort and a reminder and a punishment all in one. Stanley would have loved this. Stanley was just like them. Stanley is jsut like them, because he can’t be dead yet, he can’t

be inclusion of Shifty makes me so so soft, that’s his baby, that’s his kid!!! and he fucked up but if given a second chance he would try. all this man does is try and try and hope for the best.

Wendy and Soos and the little twins are AAAAAAAAAAAAA ANON. YOUVE KILLED ME THIS IS SO TRAGIC AND SO CUTE. i’m so glad Ford wasn’t alone. i’m so fascinated by the idea of their lives playing out so similarly (in canon vs here) because yes, they’re a lot more alike than they’d ever like to admit.

i imagine him not having the journals is the main setback he faces, along with his loss of memories of where they are, and possibly a lot of the specifics of what they contain. thinking about it, Martian Stan! Ford was so so close to just being this guy. if he waited a day longer to get the journals, he’d be absolutely done for.

My free spirit Stanley...
