Spin from the wheel of aus and tell me about one (pick one and freely ramble lmfaoo)

Hi, localcanadiancreature62! I got an ask about my Dippy Pines/Stanswap au a while ago, and now I am thernked, so, I’m going to try my best to infodump as much of the whole thing as possible!

 So, the canon divergence starts at the science fair. Instead of walking into the gym, Stan has his breakdown elsewhere. Unfortunately, the Perpetual Motion Machine is VERY FRAGILE and the tarp over the top was just enough to break it. Filbrick is extremely disappointed in Ford, and kicks him out. Stan was in a different room upstairs and sees Ford getting kicked out though the window. He gives Ford the Stanmobile, and almost jumps out the window to get to him, but Filbrick takes whatever stairway Canon Ford did to get to the window unrealistically fast and stops Stan from leaving with Ford. Filbrick tells Stan that he can take part of Ford's debt, if he takes Ford's role as the smart twin too. Stan studies really hard, for Ford, and starts getting better and better grades rapidly. Eventually he starts wearing his glasses again, too. People start confusing him with Ford, and they start calling him Stan-ford, to cover all their bases, as nobody can remember which twin it is anymore. Stan is very exasperated. It doesn’t help that Filbrick consistently calls Stan ‘Stanford’, because that’s the name he chose for his ‘real' son. 

When he gets to college, Backupsmore, of course, people also call him Stanford because that’s the name his father called him and the name on the paperwork. He meets Fiddleford and is thrilled when he finds out Fidds makes robots. Together, they make Footbot a reality. That’s not important, just funny. They also start a company and sell McGucket’s doohickeys. This money funds most of their research, because Stan got a very small grant, as he wasn’t working himself to the bone for his degree like Ford, just speedrunning it. Stan decides to study anomalies, because they reminded him of his brother, and his search for the perfect place to study them led him to the most concentrated location of anomalies in the country- Gravity Falls, Oregon. 

Meanwhile, Ford lives on the streets. He studies stuff in public libraries and earns his 12 degrees while working as a paid intern for Rico. Eventually, Ford finds out that Rico is using him, builds a sci-fi laser gun, and takes him off his pedestal. They part ways as reluctant allies, and Ford “I work alone” Pines becomes the infamous Six Fingered Phantom (think Portal Ford but in his twenties). Possibly I’ll call him the Polytergeist. Probably the first one, tho. Ford is very bitter and cuts himself off entirely from his family, judging his work too dangerous and also still mad at them. Ford keeps grudges for a LONG TIME. 

Meanwhile, Stan’s having the greatest, non-traumatized time of his life! :3 Crazy adventures with his bestie Fiddlesticks, punching gremloblins in the face, alien cows, the only thing that could make it better would be if Ford were there! And he found out that the town has a Law of Weirdness Magnetism that brings weird stuff to town, so it’s really only a matter of time until Ford shows up! And then he finds a cave, with paintings of a being with answers. Stan doesn’t really need those, and he’s got a magic mailbox if he ever does, but he accidentally says the incantation while trying to sound it out. Oops.😬 Fidds is very mad at Stan when he tells him, which he does immediately. Of course he’s gonna tell Fiddlenerd, why wouldn’t he? That night in his dreams, a pentagonal star with a southern accent who says his name is Giddy Gleeful shows up. Stan doesn’t really trust him, but Gid uses a combination of hypnosis and manipulation to get Stan to make a deal with him, convincing him that Ford will definitely show up to the scientific event of the century! (He probably would, actually, in disguise.) Fidds doesn’t show the Memory Gun to Stan because he knows that Stan would definitely not approve. At the portal test, he brings it up in his rambling, and Stan confronts him on it. He confesses, and tells Stan what he saw in the portal. Stan agrees to talk to Gid, and Fidds agrees to disband his cult. Fidds goes off, but Blind Ivan wipes him clean when he tries to get rid of the Society.

 Now Stan has his paranoia era. He uses the mailbox to send a postcard to Ford that says, ‘please come!’. It’s covered in blood, because I wasn’t sure if Ford would come without a reason to think it was a real emergency. So Ford shows up at the door. Cue mutual paranoid screaming! :D In the basement, Stan tells Ford that he had one last journal to hide, then they could get to work on getting rid of Bill. And then, maybe, they could get as far away from him as possible. Do you remember our childhood dream of sailing around the world on a boat? Ford blows up at Stan for thinking of ‘repairing relationships’ when the world is at stake! They fight, and Stan falls into the portal. Ford tries to reopen, relieved beyond words when all plans are in the book he has, but that relief quickly turns into frustration when he realizes the plans are only basic outlines, he doesn’t use the official terminology for anything, and half the book is illegible! (Stan’s good at building by filling in the blanks. It’s how I think he rebuilt the portal in canon.) Ford realizes that this is going to take a while. When he goes into town for food, Ford discovers that Stan also had used the anomalies in town to make a sort of tourist trap, which he now has to run. Luckily, nobody in town can remember whether his name was StanFORD or StanLEY, so Ford manages to pass himself off as Stan while going by Ford. 

30 years later, Ford’s gniblings (great niblings -the g is silent), Dippy and Bella Pines, come to stay the summer with him. Dippy is the overprotective older twin brother who wears blindingly bright colors and uses nineties slang when he gets agitated or excited, and Bella is the extremely reckless optimistic genius who wears unseasonably warm clothing and loves pushing the boundaries of science. Dippy takes the place of Mabel generally, but also is Dipper sometimes. Also, Ford has a rivalry with an eleven year old boy named Billy Cipher who runs a rival tourist trap that’s based off of the color yellow and has an Illuminacho with a top hat on everything. Ask me if you have any follow-up questions! 😃

I love the idea that Pyramid Steve is essentially Bill's equivalent of Dippy Fresh

"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS, PYRAMID STEVE!"

[ask-rainbow-falls]

do you think dippy fresh would still be a Pegasus or would he be a Unicorn since Star Shower also admires them? Or if he was still a Pegasus, do you think he’d be an extremely talented flier?

THE DIPPY FRESH INCIDENT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE FOR MANY.

One Mabel Pines criticism that I hear all the time and drives me absolutely insane is the existence of Dippy Fresh

"MABEL REPLACED HER BROTHER FIRST CHANCE SHE GOT!" They cry.

Did you all watch the episode?? She was hypnotized by Bill. That's why Dippy Fresh existed, it wasn't Mabel, it was was Bill--or rather Bill's influence on Mabel.

Mabel being hypnotized isn't even like a "well if you read between the lines and do some critical thinking, it becomes clear" thing either. It's legit spelled out for us in the episode:

Dipper yells at Mabel "Bill's got you hypnotized or something!"

After the sibling hug, Mabel blinks several times and suddenly realizes she's been "listening to the same song an entire week"

This is so damn clear, what more could you want to convince you that she was essentially under a spell????

I think the only thing more they could do to make it clearer would be to either have Mabel look straight at the audience and say "I was being hypnotized by nacho demon" or for Bill to look straight at the audience and say "I have Shooting Star in under a spell, she's completely hypnotized."
