Yeah maybe getting caught up on the past 30 years of your favorite sci-fi series and telling your brother about your weird cult era at the same time was a bad idea

A request from someone.

Something something Fillbrick mpreg revenge

Now he'll have a child he cares about

[me-like-sonic]

Yo I love hating Filbrick as much as the next guy, but you know what would bring a lot of angst?

If, after Stan leaves, Ford notices his father can't look at him anymore. Lets him do whatever he wants for the remainder of the year. Drives him around whenever he needs, is attentive to Shermie. Is silent – more than usual.

And Ford is still fuming over Stan's betrayal. Over all the missed oportunities. Over everything. He thinks that's what his father feels too. That now that Stan is away their father doesn’t have reasons to be angry anymore.

10 years pass and Stan takes Ford's place. He attends his own mock funeral where only Caryn shows up. He'd expected it, so it's fine. What he hadn’t expected is the reason. Filbrick doesn’t think he deserves to be there for his son's departure, not after what he did. So he takes Shermie somewhere nice instead while Caryn deals with the funeral.

And for the next 15 years Stan receives weekly phone calls from his Ma, and monthly ones from his Pa. Once, quietly, Pa comments about how 'Ford's' voice sounds like Stanley's. That it's funny how Stan already had a deep voice back then, and that he's glad Ford finally got it. It's like talking to the two of them at the same time. Stan cries like a baby before going to sleep.

Once, when he visits, he gives 'Ford' his fez. And then, a few years later, gives him his suit.

"You could use it for weddings," he'd said. "Or for your business. A good suit makes a good vendor."

He unwrinkled the suit once again, and said in the nonchalant voice that was the equivalent of crying for the Pines men before him, "I always thought this one would be Stanley's. He'd always been more of a salesman than you. But you turned out a fine one too."

Stan uses it every single day.

Filbrick dies suddently. With no farewells or secret letters or wills. But Caryn brings him a box with all the drawings from Stan and Ford's childhood. Even the Lil' Stanley comics.

Filbrick was a man shaped by his time, who did many wrongs and didn’t right them. His best was not enough; he was a bad man and his death only left Stan's chest hollow. But he'd loved his wife and his children, and he died a father and husband.

why come up with another middle name when you perfected it the first time

Frankenstan au where ford grave robs stans body and like a day later Caryn shows up at his house knowing damn well ford was the culprit

The line "he just shrugged and named them both Stan" haunts me.

Obviously it's part of a poem so it needs to rhyme BUT. If you take it the literal meaning of that sentence, it's all the more heartbreaking.

Filbrick didn't want twins. At most, he wanted just one (who would be simply "Stan"). However, this man was short-tempered and got angry, and decided that since getting rid of one wasn't an option, he wouldn't be bothered to put much more thought into it. So he named them both Stan.

I like to think that maybe Shermie (if you consider him the oldest in canon, like I do) made an off-hand comment about how was he supposed to call both of them Stan ("they're going to look the same and have the same name, Ma! How do I know which one I'm talking about? How will they know?) and Caryn had to hold her tears and tell him that they'd get used to it.

Since Filbrick had to work at the shop all day, Caryn was in charge of sorting the paperwork for the birth certificates. Maybe it was then, looking at the documents and the newborns sleeping peacefully in their carriage, that she decided to do it. To give her sons some sense of self. If their dad didn't care enough, she would double her efforts to do so.

"... so there you go. They wouldn't accept two certificates with the same same, surname, birthdate, birthplace and parents, so I wrote Stanford for the first and Stanley for the second. I also named the first one Filbrick, I thought you'd like it."

Omg, guys... Do y'all think the reason Stan doesn't drink beer around the kids is bc Filbrick would drink around him a lot and often hit him when he was drunk?
