Hey can we talk about the sweater choice in NWHS/ATOTS because OH MY GOD It's LITERALLY a key

The ultimate decision, the button, is left in Mabel's hands. By choosing not to press it, she *unlocks* the Pines history. Stan and Ford's side, and an explanation for why everything ended up this way.

She is the key to the past, the present, and the future (If she had pressed the button, Stan would've been arrested again and the consequences would've been much more severe..... Also.... No Ford.

Mabel was always gonna be the one to decide ughahh Mr Hirsch I love you

I'm very aware the sweaters are usually representative but this one in particular has me in a chokehold hello

Hey do you guys remember the Memory Vial AU?

Great me too.

Ford's thumb slides against the rims of Stan's glasses.

One way, slow, then back the other. The plastic under his fingertip is dull and worn, Stan only ever bought a pair, in the twenty something years he's had glasses. One pair, and Soos says it's because Stan complained about having glasses at all.

Ford wouldn't know.

He never heard his brother complain about his glasses. Or complain about paying the electricity bill, which Ford immediately forgot about. He never heard his brother complain about the food of Gravity Falls, or the weather in different seasons.

Ford didn't live through all four seasons with his brother as an adult. Stan didn't live at all.

It's snowing outside now. Little dots of white drift gently and settle into the undisturbed plane of white. It reminds Ford of the one other time he saw Stan in snow, the first time, the only time since their childhood. When he'd called Stan to Gravity Falls in the first place.

Ford's thumb slides against the rims of Stan's glasses.

There are tears sliding down Ford's face. His eyes ache from them, the right one especially, but he doesn't lift his hands to wipe them away. At this point, crying doesn't even feel like crying anymore. It just feels like breathing.

An intake of air. Hold. Stanley is dead. Tears run down Ford's cheeks. Exhale. Ford's thumb slides against the rim of Stan's glasses.

When they buried him, they put him in the ground in his Mr Mystery suit.

Technically it was the best thing Stan owned, the easiest thing they had on hand for him.

Ford was wearing it, and Stan was wearing his clothes, when all was said and done and the sky put itself back together. But the world was missing a piece, and Ford will never get it back.

He'd been the one to redress Stan properly. The suit jacket, the leather shoes, all of it.

The only thing Ford didn't return was the fez, and the glasses.

They didn't bury Stanley with his glasses.

It feels like one last betrayal.

Ford's thumb slides against the rims of Stan's glasses.

No one can fault Ford for it, can they?

He's not sure what stage of grief he's in. They all blur together, anger into acceptance and then back to bargaining. One morning Ford woke up and trashed what was left of the basement downstairs. The next, he couldn't get out of bed.

Today, he made it as far as his bedroom doorway, before the world got too heavy again.

Ford's thumb slides against the rims of Stan's glasses.

If he wakes up tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, Ford wonders if there will ever be a moment when each breath he takes doesn't feel like theft. Like a robbery of a better man, like the desecration of a grave.

He'd switch their places, if he could.

On the surface it seems like a beautifully self sacrificial thought. But Ford knows it's because between the two of them, Stan was always the survivor.

Thirty years Ford lived in the multiverse. Thirty years Stan survived after putting him there.

For thirty years Stan carried his guilt, used it to build a place, a home and a family and the portal, all at once.

Ford crumbles under the weight of his own.

He misses his brother.

Ford's thumb slides against the rims of Stan's glasses.

a stop motion thing i did for finals in art a few weeks ago! It was...a very rushed project, and my first stop motion ever, but I think it came out rather charming in the end. I got an A on it and everything so I might as well share it.

Filmed over the course of a week from 10-1 am every night with a Lot Of Clay!
