Ah yes. This probably makes zero sense out of context, but have some angst anyways.
Long story short: This is from the newest chapter of my Author Stan fic. Ford's entire family thinks he's dead, and for their safety he let's them keep believing it.
And then he runs into Ma at Stan's graduation after four years.
She doesn't recognize him.
I congratulate youšššø! I've been watching your creativity all this year and it's very cool! You are very talented!
If you're going to do sketches, maybe one of them will be the Author Stan au? I know this will sound strange, but I really love their mom (Caryn) from this story. Maybe something sad? Like Ford's funeral? Or something else? I just want more Carynš
Love your story and artwork ā¤ļøšŗāØ
The two people Ford hurt the most. And, Ironically, the two people he was trying the hardest to protect.
Currently being consumed by an Epic the Musical x Gravity Falls AU send help
Okay but seriously I've got a whole AU mapped out at this point and this would probably be the rough character lineup
Ford - Odysseus
Stanley - Eurylochus
Shermie - Polites (I swear there's a very good and comprehensible explanation for this)
Fiddleford - Perimides AND Elpnor (as per the cut songs)
Bill - Poseidon, and possibly also Zeus
Mabel and Dipper - Telemachus <3
In this au, Filbrick was king of Ithaca and sent his son Stanley off to fight in the Trojan war, but through a series of horrible misunderstandings, all three of the sons, including Shermie, who was next in line for the throne, get sent on the ships. Ford kind of naturally takes charge, because Shermie was never really a leader-y type.
Ten years of war pass, and there's probably a lot of drama and character development [Polites choosing to be kind despite the war and Shermie choosing to be kind too, despite the Vietnam War (in some aus at least) (i love the ex-military Shermie headcanon sm) can be something so special]
Turns out, when Shermie left, his wife was actually pregnant! They had a pair of twins (Dipper and Mabel are Shermie's kids in this AU, for obvious reasons)
Filbrick dies while his sons are at war, and his wife, Caryn, takes over in his stead. Why? Because. Dipper and Mabel are now in line for the throne, which is probably very stressful and makes them both the Telemachus of this au
Stuff happens, Shermie wants to go home and meet his kids after 10 whole years (I might shorten the time they spend at sea to 2 just so Mabel and Dipper are 12), and Shermie... dies.
This obviously drives tension between Ford and Stanley 'Miscommunication' Pines, leading to trust issues down the road. They both just want to get home to see their mom and niece and nephew again.
(This is getting really long jifojgisjjflks and I haven't even mentioned Fiddleford and his parallels with the Lotus, or how Bill would play into the story. This AU is consuming me)
(Would anyone be interested in a Part 2?)
Thereās a TikTok sound going round recently, itās audio from Marie Antoinette mixed with ThĆ©rĆØse by Maya Hawke, itās the ābut you, shall be mineā clip, and people have been using it for Mabel and Stan (in comparison to Ford and Dipper) and Young Stan and their mother, and I canāt stop thinking about Stan attending his funeral as ford and having to sit next to his mother, realising how much she actually loved him, unlike his father.
And how she probably saw so much of Stan in āfordā and him having to not just tell her that itās him. Ripping my hair out and crying. Iām sorry yāall, I love ford, but Stanā¦ like, the angst but also sweetness of it, I need yāall to bare with
(And I know that she and an IRIS agent were the only ones who attended, let me cry in peace)
