Blind Faith AU For The Ask?

Blind Faith AU for the ask?

I’m not very familiar with this AU (I believe I’ve read the original fic, but I don’t know much outside that) so if I contradict or repeat stuff that’s already been established, sorry!

1. While Stan’s sight eventually comes back, he doesn’t always see what other people see. Sometimes that means he doesn’t see things that are there. Sometimes that means he sees things that are really there, or that were really there once, or that will really be there, or that are really there, just one dimension over. It happens infrequently and it’s usually over quickly, but it’s nearly impossible to tell which of the above it is he’s seeing or what it means, and mostly it’s just a giant pain in the neck.

2. Because both Stan and Ford end up on the other side of the portal, there is no Mystery Shack. Shermie’s family ends up inheriting the house in Gravity Falls when Stan and Ford are both pronounced legally dead. Instead of going up to Gravity Falls to spend a summer with their great-uncle, Mabel and Dipper end up going up to Gravity Falls with their parents to clean out their dead relative’s house. It lends a whooooole different tenor to the summer, that’s for sure.

3. Actually, Stan not being around to open the Mystery Shack changes everything. Soos doesn’t get a strong male role model in his life who can be a father figure to him. Wendy’s not around for the summer of ‘12 because she’s away at logging camp. Gideon - Gideon would own Gravity Falls without any competition re: tourist traps. Would the town be worse off financially? Who would still be there? Would anyone have left? Would anyone new be there? Everything changes without the Mystery Shack. 

4. So without the Mystery Shack in town, Gideon and the Northwests would be locked in an power struggle of old vs. new money over who controls Gravity Falls, and both of them have ties to Bill - I’m guessing Bill is playing both sides off against each other, acting like he’s an ally to each of them, while still trying to get somebody to open the portal. And this is what Dipper and Mabel and their family walk into the middle of. And what Stan and Ford come back to. That’s gonna end well.

5. Ford still ends up with a stupid tattoo, mostly because they were both drunk and Stan goaded him into it. When Ford gives Stan hell for it, Stan protests that hey, Ford’s the one who asked the blind guy about his opinion on tattoo art.

And this idea gets out of hand.

I finally finished the picture for the 6th chapter of my fic, 1 Step Forward, 20 Years Back. Sorry it took so long OTL.

‘Not What He Seems’

when I saw the title it made it sound like Stan isn’t…human, 

is it possession? or not…
