I know I said I'd write/draw more for frankenford but I've been busy :`)

Have an old sketch of Bord and a doodle I did just now of a bullshit scenario where Ford's body is so unrecoverable Stan has to grow him a new one out of a pot. All his idea and he didn't take Bill's bad suggestions at all.

Apropos that Broadcast dimension au, I have kept this from you out of context, and will probably keep it out of context until I can think of how to put my thoughts into words.

But something I can tell you is that Stan's dream formatting changes throughout the story in my head! Like the more abstract, morose or emotion-heavy scenes are in my head either formatted quietly like this with attention to only the mundane or with attention to the full picture, where small details and gestures disappear in the scale?

I'll gather my thoughts some time after I've gotten my presentation tomorrow over with

(Never ask me to stylize consistently)

Ford is cool because he has PTSD but he's also a jolly old uncle and an arrogant, arrogant jerk. (... and a dork... and a nice person... and a violent monster... who talks to unicorns... but he hates them...)

This is so damn cool

"You weren't supposed to care."

My final piece (for now) from "Abandon my eulogy" by @aroace-get-out-of-my-face that tore me to pieces :,) I was listening to the album "I Am Here Now, When Will You Be Here Again?" when reading it and it absolutely made the scene come alive. (I am not an animal enthusiast, so I am very sorry if the Axolotl is a bit wonky, it took me a while to get right, hahah)

Some unserious FrankenFord doodles

(Insert awful joke about Ford closing his eyes, but not being able to block out Stan's suffering because his eyelids are transparent.)

For the record, this isn't super accurate to what I have in mind, lol.

Coming clean to admit I write fanfic sometimes while warming up for my personal projects.

I wanted to write something for FrankenFord, but it reminded me I have another bullet-point draft for a character study on Stan. It's technically about his memory recovery on the Stan-O-War II, but most of those memories are about his progress on the portal and grieving/not-grieving Ford, with a bit of mental deterioration and recovery. Both these stories are very similar topic wise (or at least tone wise, in my head), so Idk if it's a good idea to do both.

Portal One-Shot: Will 100% get done if I choose it. Will probably be 5k words or over. Would have more of a psychological focus with dream sequences and memory-mashing. Basically my excuse to pry open Stan's head in one fell swoop and then never write from his perspective again. (Being old is tragic and all, but I just wanted to write something based on when he was middle aged and success was the farthest away)

FrankenFord Multi-Chapter: I've never written a multi-chapter story before (except for one in the drafts I'm actively failing to progress on lmao... it's a Ford fic and I struggle BAD with his voice), so I DO want to challenge myself... just don't put too much faith in me, lol. Will be a little more horror-y, with the biggest difference being more supernatural horror than psychological (though there will still probably be a lot of that). Whether I write this one or not I'll still probably draw for the AU when I feel like it- just know I brainstorm with my drawings, so they'll be conceptual, not supplemental, lol.

FrankenFord AU

Someone mentioned that this AU should exist and I agree.

In this world, Ford tried to dismantle more of the portal before Stan arrived. Instead of getting sucked in, he got slammed into the machinery and broke either his neck or his brain after Stan pushed him. (He doesn't decompose because of magic. Maybe.)

Stan spends the first day tending to Ford's wounds, the second day waiting for him to wake up, and the third day trying and failing to look through Ford's stuff for a "quick fix." He's in shock and sleep deprived- so he's opening books and basically just holding them in front of his face. He isn't legitimately trying to resurrect Ford because he has no reason to think that's possible; it's just denial. That is, until he meets Bill, hears weird interference through radios, and gets more acquainted with Gravity Falls.

Insert some other half baked ideas about finding Journal 2, meeting McGucket and hoping he has cult magic, Ghost-Ford and Bill interactions, and Stan being less precise and more impatient, so Ford keeps being semi-ressurected or temporarily resurrected with really freaky side effects.
