Me: This is my baby girl

Them: that’s a pathetic bleeding mentally unstable adult man

Stanford pines taught me that even if you don’t get into your dream school, you can still achieve the batshit crazy stuff you’ve always wanted to do

Can't even blame Bill for being obsessed with Ford because I would be too. He's actually SO fine

Timeline of Stan and Ford

I think this works.

1950: Stanford and Stanley Pines are born in New Jersey

1964: Stan twins find the ship that would become the Stan O’ War - Ford uses a sharpie-type marker, which wasn’t invented until 1964 - They are about 13

1969: Stan breaks Ford’s experiment and is kicked out of their home - The portrait in the principal’s office was of Nixon, whose presidency started in 1969 - The twins are around 18

1974: Ford finishes his (first) doctorate, moves to Gravity Falls shortly afterwards - Degree is finished three years ahead of schedule - Research to maintain grant money would have had get started as soon as possible - By this time, it is possible Stan had already been in prison at least once and/or been held at a mental institution [Dipper and Mabel’s Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun] - They are about 23

1978: Stan in Colombian Prison - Caught as an accessory to a heist most likely (an actual robbery would give him a much longer sentence) - Stan meets Rico in prison - Stan and Ford are around 24 Edit: I meant 28. My bad

1980: Ford starts the third journal/ Fiddleford joins Ford’s team - He had already been in GF for six years - It is around this time that he meets Bill - Just past Stan and Ford’s 30th birthday. Over the course of writing in this journal, Ford is in his 30’s

1981: McGucket’s accident/ Ford’s slip into deep paranoia/ Stan released from Colombia - McGucket spent only one year as Ford’s assistant - McGucket soon starts the Society of the Blind Eye - Note: It was around this time that Ford invented the tie for the Reagan Administration - After around 3 years, Stan is released from prison Note: This was in Colombia, so I can’t be sure, but American jail times for being an accessory to a burglary or robbery are around 3 years— OR he escaped - Stan is indebted to Rico after prison and is hiding from Rico’s goons

1982: The Portal Incident - 30 years before the show’s 2012 summer - Ford reaches out to Stan, who at this point is still in hiding from Rico - Start of the Murder Hut - Stan and Ford are both around 32 - Approximately 13-14 years since high school - Stan says it’s been “over 10 years” since they last spoke

1983: McGucket memories completely lost/ Stan fakes his death - McGucket has no memories around 618 days after the incident, according to the memory recording

1999: Dipper and Mabel are born -  Stan was at the hospital when their mom gave birth

2012: Ford Returns - Ford spent 30 years in the portal - Dipper and Mabel are now almost 13 - Stan and Ford are over 62 years old.

Arguments:

Darlene called Stan a 70-something- year-old man, BUT she could have been just assuming, based on his appearance. Stan did not have a healthy lifestyle during his homeless years, and probably aged horrible.

Stan said they were “Pushing 70.” He probably meant “in our 60s, and approaching 70.” Which I suppose is true. He used the wording to express a shortness of years, saying he might as well be 70 with the way he’s aged and how fast his last years will pass. __________________________________

Basically, 62 is as old as the Stan Twins could possibly be within the timeline of the show. There’s a 2-year cushion which would make them around 60 at the end, but 62 is the absolute OLDEST they could be, and seems to be the most likely age. Hopefully it works with everything. Feel free to rip this apart if something doesn’t add up.

LITERALLY.

Everytime someone hates on Show Colin Bridgerton a little demon of Toxic Masculinity gets its wings. Keep your abusive men and give me this tender, supportive man.

It bothers me that people try to "excuse" (doesn't need excusing) Eloise's anger at Penelope lying as being just as much about Eloise trying to protect Penelope as well as Colin.

Damn it why can't it be about Colin?

Why can't it be about the fact that Eloise's brother, who she loves, is being lied to by the woman he loves for a second time?

Why can't it be about the fact that Colin is engaged to a woman who has repeatedly exposed the secrets of the people who trust her for public consumption?

Why can't it be about the fact that Colin is placing his future happiness in the hands of a woman who responded to a conflict between them by slagging him off in a popular publication?

Why can't it be about the fact that Eloise loves her brother and she does not want to see him hurt?

Batman #436's Bat-Signals

PERFECTLY PUT

People: Why the hell is Colin pretending to be a rake? That’s so icky. That’s so not him. What ever could be the reason?!

Season One:

Colin: I’m a man in love and I want to get married. 🥰😍

Anthony: You’re so green. Is this about wetting your wick? 🙄

Season Two:

Colin: I’m a man who wants to find my way in the world. I want to invest. 😁💪

Anthony: What the hell do you think you’re doing?! 😡❌

Season Three:

Colin: I’ve changed my entire personality. Women love me. Men are envious of me. People think this version of me is so fun. 😎🪭😕

Anthony: I invited you for a drink to congratulate you on your many admirers! You’re a man! 🥳🎉

Colin’s character is the perfect study of the pressures of masculinity and external/societal validation.
