#reverse stan pines

Reverse falls

okay, so the brainrot has gotten to me and i literally cannot stop thinking about reverse falls. so here's my take on it. (or at least the pines) (also, im using their actual names)

Stanley:

everything stays the same up until he's kicked out of his house

see, my thought is that along with becoming a master con-man, he also ends up joining a circus

this is the big change

he begins to look for new ways to make the circus more enticing for people, and in doing so makes a crap ton of money

in fact, he makes so much, he is welcomed back into his family

like he becomes rich

but back to the circus business, he hears about gravity falls and all of it's anomalies

he decides to set up shop there, bringing people from all over to see the weirdos and wackos of gravity falls

in gravity falls, he ends up meeting his brother again

their strained relationship doesn't get much better (and i honestly don't expect it to...)

when he meets dipper and mabel for the first time, it is like light has been let back into his life

he really cares for them, but doesn't show it

he is especially close to mabel (like in the show) (they relate to each other)

i think he would be ever so slightly scared of ford and dipper

i think he would still be a very lonely person, but caring nonetheless

stanford:

i think that reverse ford would be a possessive, narcissistic person

filbrick pines put a lot of pressure on ford to be "perfect"

this seriously messed him up

when he lost his potential scholorship, he felt like his whole life was ruined

he decided that he would be better than everyone else

and he succedded in that

he was crazy smart and got the grant to study analmoies like in the show

when he gets to gravity falls, though, that's when it changes

when he finds bill, instead of being mauniplated, he's the one to manipulate bill

he becomes obessed with power and control

when stan comes into town, ford is pissed

but he sees how stan and his circus act could benefit him

so he basically becomes a mastermind in control

the circus brings about new people to perform experiments and what not on

mabel:

unlike the show, i think the kids would have gone to gravity falls since they were kids

this change happens because stan is let back into the family and ford never got sucked into the portal

anyway, mabel and dipper become performers for stan's circus, at least during the summer

they are known as the "physic twins"

mabel seems like a happy go lucky person, like in the show, but in reality she is not

i think that she would be a deeply sad person (if that makes any sense)

see, unlike her brother, she isn't as "special" and because of this often feels worthless

this lets her bond with stan, like, a lot

but anyway, because of her "job" i don't think she would have a lot of time to make friends or have crushes

even when she does have downtime, she has to worry about her image and how people see her

after all, they are the "physic twins"

unlike dipper, i don't she would involve herself in the supernatural much

she really just wants to be a normal kid, but because of her family, she can't

dipper:

i think that reverse dipper would be ford's apperentice

see, since birth dipper (or, i guess, mason) has been a genius

like crazy smart genius

so, when his parents hear about a certain great uncle who can help nurture this intelligence, they send dipper and mabel to gravity falls asap

here, dipper meets his crazy great uncle ford and immeditally loves it

both on stage and doing research, dipper is crazy enthusiastic

he loves what he does, both research and being one half of the "physic twins"

he ends up making his own deal with bill, following in his great uncles footsteps

he spends his free time with ford, learning and gaining knowledge

on stage, he has an uncanny ability to charm people into doing what he wants

he cares for his sister, but rarely has any time for her (i think that if mabel ever tried to leave, dipper would go crazy)

he has very (one-sided) co-dependant relationships with his family (yes, this includes stan)

Okay, that's all for now 😮‍💨 sorry if there are any spelling errors or anything like that. i might make a part 2 with gideon and paz and bill… idk yet.

[skipppppy]

Also damn y’all REALLY liked him huh

[yujateaandpi]

Mmm… Eizouken poses your mystery trio. I love these sweet baby boys so much.

[paintedcrows]

It is imperative to me that Bill and Stan do torrid Duchess Approves roleplay and argue about character motivations

[inkyrainstorms]

you guys know those AUs where Stanley opens the portal after thirty years but for Ford only a few second/minutes/days have passed in the portal.

What if, in another world - by the infinite nature of multiverse - the portal was functional enough for another run right there in the portal room, that blistery cold 1982 winter day. What if, when Stanley threw enough things around and pressed enough buttons and the portal opened again (in the same spot in the Nightmare Realm it had before) (not calibrated to Ford like had been in canon) the Ford had stepped out was the one from his final confrontation with Bill. What if Ford stepped out thirty years older and wiser and angrier

What if he saw Stanley crying, relieved, and then terrified and confused and devastated. What if he, at sixty years old, saw Stanley and saw only a scared child, half his age. His brother.

What if Ford had thought his brother had left and grown up for those long thirty years, but he came back and it was his brother that saved him that very night? His brother, by sheer dumb luck? His brother, who couldn't have accounted for time dilation if he tried (not like the old Stanley did) but still tried

Happy holidays and a New year!! take a doodle page

[mulletstanleys]

oh i'm sorry fidds, did you order a side of stanleys with your OG stan order?

Smile for the camera!

It’s unfair that only Stanford has a Wanted poster, I think every Pines who got sucked in the portal should have one, as a familial right of passage and as a treat <3

Look Stanford Pines is canonically a self-centered little shit BUT ☝️ any reverse portal au where he doesn’t try to bring Stanley back just reads as straight up character assassination to me and you know what else?? He is jumping straight into that portal armed to the teeth to save his brother the man might be emotionally constipated but he loves his bro and also he is a lunatic

[enidtendo64]

Reverse Falls but it’s the rest of the swaps

I think in honor of the classic AU it needs to be just as edgy as it was made to be back in the day. But also like, filled with jokes like Florida Man descendant Pacifica.

[skipppppy]

This has to be an AU already right? I’ve never seen it. I’m doing it. My city now

The angst potential alone haunts me. How long do you think he waited for Ford?? When did it start to sink in that nobody was coming to save him, that nobody would miss him? Would anybody even want him back? How long did it take for his anger, his heartbreak, his grief to turn into acceptance and a belief that this was divine retribution? How long did he work, how many jobs did he take, how much wealth did he accrue, how many brushes with death did he have until he believed he’d “earned” the right to go home and see his brother?? Many such questions. I need to go deeper

[paperismissing]

What if Stanley was the one who got pulled into the portal?

I saw this post and after reading the comments i couldn't stop thinking about an au with this... Someone must have done it before but here I am!

I participated on an magma today so I did some doodles for this au......

Basically Stan got into the portal instead of Ford, and Ford, wanting to save humanity, made himself believe that Stan was dead and there was no point in trying to open the portal as it would only cause the end of the world...

Deep down, he knows he is not dead, but its for the greater good of humanity for him to believe so

Not sure what to call this au so any suggestions are welcome :D

Update: It's called reverse portal au!! Thanks for who answered me! I think I will do my own interpretation of this au :D

[autisticnerds]

Portal! Stanley

[joyfulhottubfuntik]

A big part of Ford's characterization that is very important to me is that, no matter what and no matter what time period we're talking about, if Stan was ever in any serious danger and Ford found out about it, he would do anything to help. Yes, even at his angriest and even when he was saying and thinking the meanest stuff about his brother. Because in all the instances of Stan being in danger and Ford knowing about it that we see (like the dream from j3 and the comic about comic books), helping his brother is not even something that Ford contemplates or thinks about at all. Add to that the way his first reason not to ask Stan for help with the journal (as stated in tbob) is worry that it would put Stan in danger (even if it was expressed in what was probably the meanest and most condescending way possible). And of course also Stan being one of the three people Ford would sacrifice the entire universe for.

Imo for him the question is "why is my brother such an immature dumbass who gets himself into trouble all the time" but never "why do I have to help him out ". And it doesn't matter if the answer to the second one is eventually something along the lines of "because he's my brother and I love him", because I think it's out of character to even ask it, as to him the answer is that obvious. If Stan's in danger then he will save him, because of course he will (and because he doesn't have to even think to know that he'd always rather have the most annoying brother in the world who he's not even on speaking terms with than not have a brother at all)
