(tw: War)

(tw: war)

Its been on my mind lately that if Stanley left home in the late 60's or early 70's he would have been eligible for the vietnam draft. And that maybe the first time he commited identify fraud was to evade the draft. One of his prison sentences may have even been due to this. The sentence for draft evasion was 5 years, and while we know his time imprisoned in Columbia was due to a heist, we're left in the dark about his other sentences.

Maybe at first, Stanley had intentions of getting his family the money honestly, but the draft threw a wrench into the whole thing and it spiraled him into a life of crime until the postcard came.

Meanwhile, Stanford was exempt because he was enrolled as a college student. University enrollment allowed deferment from the draft until schooling was complete. And if Ford was enrolled in PHD programs until after 1974, he would've never had to report.

I wonder, did Stanford ever watch the news, the riots, and think about his brother potentially being sent to die in a foreign country? Did he care?

Did Stan ever feel like a coward for not going to war? Did he wonder if his family would have thought of him as a hero - if more people would have attended his funeral - if he had died in vietnam instead?

hi be warned this post is me insane over an old man. ok go

SO…. stanley pines.. i’ve been THINKING.. and like we’ve all seen this image, right?

and EVERYONE always talks about how stan has written smut! which yeah is INSANE but i want yall to look at THAT FIRST POINT. bc GUYS.

GUYS.

that is implying that he has posed erotically, or at LEAST nude! and i feel like the old man fucker nation is seriously missing out on the POSSIBILITIES that creates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bc. like. imagine. and be cringe here w me for a sec, if you will, but….. a stan pines x reader where reader was at a yard sale or something and picked up a huge box of old comics, magazines, and etc! she’s going thru them with stan and they’re having a good time, and then WHOOPS! someone hid their saucy mags from like the 80s at the bottom! so now reader and stan are laughing and everything, and then reader pulls out a certain one, and suddenly stan is quiet, and then what do u know? good ol reader turns the page, giggling, and suddenly theres a younger stan posed in front of her on a page, and the good ol stan we know beside her

and i CANNOT stop thinking about this but i also CANNOT write and it is tearing me apart 😭😭😭

Stan and Soos Headcanons

Stan didn't pay Soos to work until he turned 15 (child labor laws, y'know). It was more like voluntary babysitting, though Stan would never admit it. Soos still refers to that time as his "apprenticeship"

Soos wanted to drop out of school and just work at the shack but Stan encouraged him to finish, since he never got the chance. Stan bought Soos a used truck as a graduation gift

Stan always made an effort not to swear in front of Soos, which made things easier when the kids moved in

Soos invites Stan to church every Christmas and Easter. Stan is uncomfortable the whole time, but still goes, and secretly likes knowing that someone thought of him

During the winter months, things get slow and sometimes Stan doesn't bother opening the store. He still pays Soos a full salary, even if all he did was shovel snow for a few hours

Before leaving with Ford, Stan spent a week finally getting the shack's finances in order so Soos wouldn't get in any trouble with the IRS while he was gone.

Films i would watch with Stanley Pines

and headcanons of his reactions to them

The Blues Brothers:

c'mon two brothers that goof around and run from the cops together? he'd love it

i fear he would laugh so hard he'd cry at the scene where they keep swearing and the nun hits them with the ruler over and over

would crack jokes about how his exes are just like Carrie Fisher's character

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

would complain at first but then get really invested

would lose his shit when Darcy proposes (You had your chance at the cotillion, you!)

would cry when Mr. Bennet talks to Lizzie after giving Darcy his blessing

would be very annoyed with Mr Collins ofc

Blazing Saddles

already one of his favorites probably

would fall out of his chair laughing when Mongo punches the horse

Les Miserable

would relate hard to Jean Valjean

would cry multiple times (me too)

he'd be caught humming Do You Hear The People Sing for days afterwards

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

the big family he always wanted

would love lines like "is okay, I make lamb"

he'd want to get greek food afterwards

might actually try to cure something with windex

Thank you to everyone for blowing up my Stan and Mabel Headcanons post! I never expected to reach 1000 notes on a post, much less within my first week :') I'm probably gonna post a part 2 if I can think of more good ones! I love you all

Stan and Mabel Headcanons

Mabel noticed Stan doesnt wear a seatbelt very much when he drives, so she took the "our hero" sash and turned it into a seatbelt cover for him and told him "if you want to be our hero again you have to wear a seatbelt"

Mabel saw him sewing a button back on his shirt and insisted she teach him cross-stitch. They cross-stitch together and watch ducktective. She finds patterns for him with stuff like "this isn't a crack house, it's a crack home"

Stan lets Mabel paint his nails and draw "tattoos" on him. She once wrote "I love you" on him, and he saved a picture of it so he could get it actually tattooed in her handwriting someday

For a while, Mabel decided she needed to become vegetarian for Waddles, and Stan learned to cook vegetarian meals for her

Mabel knows she's not allowed in Stan's room but still likes to slide drawings and notes under the door, especially if she thinks he's in there because he's upset

Stan dictates the shopping list to Mabel. He checks the fridge and cabinets and she writes. She always adds "candy" at the end, covers it in stickers, and writes notes like "don't shoplift!"
