This post by @softersynths haunted me so bad I had to draw something. Baby needs some milk

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

Sometimes ya gotta just draw two broken men who love eachother

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

Happy birthday to the goobers ever. Fiddleford is also there

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

Gay people are real you heard it here first

What are everyone's ages (roughly) in your Twinwalkers au? Also what's up with Mabel's curse? Did it happen the same way it does in canon, or is it different? I love this au so much!!!!

Most of the kids are 14/15, with the exception of Soos, who’s 12. The adults are mostly in their late 40s/early 50s.

Mabel’s curse is similar to owl house cannon with a few key differences that I’m keeping a seal on for now

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

About the GF/TOH au, what is Bill??? Like, he does both the Amity and emperor roles?? Is this some kind of secret plot twist where it finally turns out he's the big bad? Or do you have some way to make it wholesome? I did notice it was tagged with billford... Are they related or something? I feel like that would be a big plot point if they were! (Also, Ford and Stan not being twins is Wild and bold, but I think I like it???)

Billy technically isn’t Bill per se; based on the collected fanon idea of who Bill was as a kid, rather than guy we’ve got in cannon. There is a more cannon accurate Bill that will show up later in the story, but he’s mostly unrelated.

As for everything else, well… spoilers 😉

Bringing this AU back to the front light for pride month. Cause it’s super fun and I’ve got a bunch of ideas.

In the meantime, have some character designs!

Feel free to ask me stuff about this AU!

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

Here’s one way to find out that what you thought was your roommates second, nerdier personality is actually a ghost.

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

Fiddleford really really wants his roommate to be his friend.

More from the Die in a Fire AU, ft Stan being the most paranoid guy you could share a collage dorm with, and Ford’s communication puppets.

Die in a Fire AU; some brief facts about the twins.

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

Why do you keep chopping off Stanley's legs? /j

Saw it in a fanfic once and then the concept took over my life

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

Bill finds out about his destiny to be killed at the hands of Stanley Pines, and decides to do something about it.

Things don’t turn out the way he wanted them to

Also here’s the backdrop cause I’m pretty proud of it but it’s hard to see in the main piece

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

Happy Valentine’s Day to the couple of all times

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SAY THAT STANLEY 2.0 KEEPS HIS LONG HAIR

MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A MOP IM BEGGING YOU

@babyblankyerror

Unfortunately one of the first things Ford does is cut Stan’s hair when he’s too groggy to make any real protest. The prospect of growing out his hair doesn’t become much of an issue until Stan II is a bit older.

Ford suspected that Stan liked his hair long cause he had a mullet, but he wants to keep his new brother’s hair shorter so he doesn’t look like Stan did when he died for practical reasons

He’s not very good at it

Bonus ;

Luckily Stan gets a better haircut courtesy of Fiddleford

[mother-ofthe-universedraws]

When did Stanley 2 to get cloned? As in how old is timeline based? Like is he around the same age as the younger twins or similar age to Soos?

Despite being a clone, how much does he actually act like Stanley? While I imagine he probably looks like Stanley physically and has Stanley’s DNA, is he his own person who has different interests and desires from Stanley OG?

(I’ve migrated from the Clone Wars fandom lol)

Also if Stanley 2 started exhibiting behaviors different from Ford’s brother how upset would Ford be?

Stanford took a good number of years of trial and error to figure out the cloning process, but when he finally finishes everything, Stan II is hatched in the February of 1994. Coincidentally, if he were a “real” kid, his birth year would’ve been 1982; the same year Ford sent off his brother with the Jornal.

He’s not that much younger (physically) than Tate McGucket. Which works out well for him since the McGucket’s in general are some of the only people Stanford allows Stan II to be around.

One of the biggest parts of the Stan 2 lore is that he doesn’t know he’s a clone. He thinks he’s the one and only Stanley Pines that has ever been. Hell, he’s got all the memories of the original Stan up until 12 (and every night he has these dreams of him and Ford, the same age, going to school together in glass shard beach). So his interest are mostly the same as Stan’s at first.

But he’s being raised differently. And he’s also physically weaker than Stan is; one of the side effects of cloning a dead man is that the dna being used isn’t fresh; it’s rotting. Unraveling. Turning into dust. Which is part of why it took Ford so long to clone his brother in the first place.

Physically, Stan is lacking in energy, and chronically sore. His heart is rather weak, as are his muscles. He has a hard time building and keeping muscle mass as well as fat. He’s not doing that great physically.

So Stan’s role of Brawn to Ford’s brain is completely gone. He can’t box; his bones are fragile, and he’s immuneo-compromised; Ford wouldn’t let him anywhere near a public gym mat with how much bacteria these things carry (though a part of that is Ford being overprotective).

A lot of Stan’s interest as a kid are just things he can’t do anymore. And he also lacks the energy to be the energetic boy he was as a kid.

So rather than being Not Like Stanley (he’d have no reason to be considering all his memories are the same), he can’t be like Stanley.

And as he grows into someone different than Ford remembers him being, Ford’s gotta grapple both with guilt over who the original Stan could’ve been but was never able to become, and also mourning that the original Stan is gone, and this clone isn’t really the second chance he made him to be.

Of course, he’s gotta be quiet about all that. He does NOT want Stan ii to find out he’s a clone.

They call it the Better World because Stanford Pines got everything he ever wanted

It came at a cost

But he could fix it; he had to. He had no other choice.

Cloning a dead man was difficult.

He kept having to make them younger and younger for them to have even a chance of survival.

But that was ok. He could make up a story. Maybe his brother got into an accident he couldn’t remember. Maybe the only way to save him was to keep him in some form of suspended animation. It was ok. They might not be twins anymore, but that didn’t matter; they’d always be brothers.

The second Stanley didn’t need to know the truth

Besides, Ford was his brother. He hung on to his every word. He’d never guess his twin would lie to him.

—

Basically this is my headcannon for what happened to Stan in The Better World; the original Stanley didn’t make it to far after being sent away with Ford’s journal. By the time anyone thought to look for him, it was too late.

Consumed by grief, Ford creates a second version of his brother. After multiple failed trials, he eventually discovers he can only grow a clone up to a certain age. Ford eventually settles for this child version of his brother.

The clone hatches at 12 years old, and contains all of his memories up to that age. It’s still his brother. And maybe this time, Stanford can spare this new version of his twin the pain he experienced in his “first life”

Special thanks to @presidentstalkeyes for helping me come up with the concept, @stephreynaart for teaching me how to do the lighting, and a shoutout to @tinfoil-jones who’s been making fics that include my Better World concept within them!

Feel free to ask me questions about Stan ii or my Better World concept!
