Hi! I'm Kinda New To Your Page And Your Art Is Amazing! But I Didn't Really Understand What Exactly The

Hi! I'm kinda new to your page and your art is amazing! But I didn't really understand what exactly the pirate au is. If it won't be a problem, can you summarize it briefly? Thank you so much.

There's a fic I'm working on here, but it's far from finished. The 'short' version though is that...

Stan and Ford were born sometime in the 1650's (rather than 1950's). They have their falling out with Stan being sent away. Stan ends up working crappy jobs on several different ships (some legitimate and some not) while Ford goes off to join a research expedition.

Ford's ship is attacked by pirates lead by Bill (check out the comic here), which culminates in Ford being kidnapped and supposedly murdered. When the news eventually make their way back to Stan, he steals a ship and declares himself captain with the goal of tracking Bill down and getting revenge. Gravity Falls was attacked by Bill sometime after Ford's disappearance, and there are plenty of people there willing to join Stan's cause.

Mabel and Dipper join the story around thirty years later in 1712. They've lost their family and end up stowing away on a merchant ship where they too are attacked by Bill's crew. Dipper is left behind on an abandoned island where he's found by Stan whom he convinces to save Mabel. They don't realise they're family. Mabel warms up to the crew quickly but Dipper is far more suspicious.

That's about as far as we've gotten yet. I've got the rest of the story all planned out, now I just have to get around to writing it...

I do be getting that blocked feeling as well. :/ If you're still taking suggestions, maybe some Stan & Melody bonding? I can see that having a 'meet the father-in-law' vibe. :V

"Why does all this wedding getup have to be so expensive? When I got hitched all we needed was bad decisions and a bunch of tequila, that dress is highway robbery."

"I guess maybe it is a bit much, we do have a budget."

"No. No no no. You want it, you get it. Seriously, I will buy it for you—can't have the first Mrs Mystery giving my old place a bad name."

If Fiddleford had decided to tell Stan the truth about Ford being alive, would Stan have believed him? And if so, would Stan have tried to find Ford on his own? Would he be mad at Fiddleford?

To be honest, it's scary to think how angry Stan would be if he found Ford on HIS OWN. He would have hit Ford even if Ford had come by himself. And if Stan understood that Ford deliberately left the whole family to think that he was dead…

It seems to me that Ford would have heard a lot of non-childish words in his direction

And besides the government, he would have had to run away from an angry Stan

I think Stan would believe it, because he so desperately wants to believe it. He'd probably try to get Fidds to tell him where the heck Ford is, but I'm not sure Fiddleford would be willing to go that far against Ford's wishes. If he even knows. So it'd be up to Stan to track Ford down on his own (maybe with Carla and Fiddleford helping).

And whoa boy, the language thrown around in that encounter would not be child friendly. Obviously Stan would never actually want to harm Ford, but I don't doubt he'd be throwing hands.

Happy birthday @stephreynaart! I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to attach an image to a ask, so I'll just do this instead! I love your art, especially the cute family fluff! Jacob is pretty much Soos' canonical kid in my eyes ^^

(Also, the animations, your animation stuff is seriously impressive)

The "Axolotl" and his twin

This last week has not been super for my mental health, so redrew one of my first gf drawings to cheer myself up. Original under the cut.

Nice to see what almost one year of progress does. I'm especially happy with how my lighting has improved. Art style sure has changed a lot... ^^

Sorry about your art block. I too be feeling meh.

For the suggestion, how about

Linworm (can’t remember the spelling) doodles

Or a chubby Ford? (For fun?)
