stanley pines

Headcanon that Stan and Ford’s mom found out that Stan had taken Ford’s identity pretty early on.
I’m picturing there being a memorial service for Stan after he faked his death and he decides to go. He knows he’ll regret it but he can’t help it, he’s curious to see what people say about him now that he’s “dead” so he goes in a very convincing Ford disguise.
And then he bumps into his mom, who can see right through his disguise and at first she sort of freaks out, and then she quickly grabs her son’s arm and drags him somewhere where others can’t hear them and says “STANLEY PINES WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK IS GOING ON??????”
and then Stan tells her because this woman would totally ground her 30 year old son for not telling her the truth

I’m going through all my papers for the millionth time and this time I found like 12 pages of me thoroughly analyzing the relationships between Dipper, Mabel and Stan
TWLEVE PAGES
And my writing could not have been smaller

(just for the record I made these during season 1, otherwise Ford would have been involved too)

One of the biggest mysteries of Gravity Falls that was never solved and probably never will be solved (because it’s not the most important detail considering how well everything worked out) was how the Stan twins would have handled Ford kicking Stan out and shutting down the Mystery Shack. cuz like, if it only affected the two of them, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But that wasn’t the case, it also would have affected Dipper and Mabel and Soos (and Wendy too, but not quite as much as Soos and twins) and Ford and Stan both knew that.

Were they just gonna not tell the kids? I realize that would probably be ideal because they wouldn’t want the kids to get involved in the family drama but surely they didn’t think this would be Dipper and Mabel’s last time going to Gravity Falls, and I can’t picture Ford telling them they couldn’t come back just because he didn’t want them to know he kicked Stan out. Was the plan to have Stan come back and stay in the Shack during the summers so Dipper and Mabel wouldn’t find out? Wouldn’t they start asking questions about why the Mystery Shack had been shut down? Wouldn’t they just end up hearing about Stan being kicked out from Soos? Honestly, I don’t think Mabel and Dipper could have even made it to next summer without finding out. They would call throughout the year, and they’d start to suspect something when Ford found an excuse to hang up the phone every time the twins asked for their grunkle Stan. And they made several friends in Gravity Falls they’d likely keep in contact with, and sooner or later (probably sooner) one of them would tell them the Mystery Shack is no longer in business and Stan isn’t living there anymore (it’d probably be Soos or Wendy for obvious reasons). And what if Weirdmageddon hadn’t happened, and Dipper had stayed with Ford to be his apprentice? How would they have handled that since Dipper would be there to watch one grunkle kick out the other grunkle. And what about Soos?? When was he going to be told his idol was leaving the shack, and possibly the town, and that his favorite place in the world was going to be shut down?? Was he told in canon before DaMvtF and we just didn’t see it? Probably not because Soos would have been emotional, so if he hadn’t been told that episode, and there was a week left of summer in that episode, was Stan planning on telling him last minute? How much did Stan go over in his head how he was gonna tell Soos? You can’t tell me Stan didn’t do that, he knew what the Mystery Shack meant to Soos. And how was Stan gonna handle Soos getting unbearably upset when he found out? What would Soos and the twins think of Ford when they found out? 

I just get overwhelmed by all this, what did they think they were going to do??????

In Blendin’s Game when Dip and Mabel go back in time to Soos’s 12th birthday, Soos states that he hasn’t seen is dad in like 8 years. That means the last time he saw his dad he was 4, he probably wasn’t even in kindergarten yet.

Do you all remember those Mother’s Day and Father’s Day projects/gifts they had you make in elementary school? (Or was that just a thing in my elementary school?) Soos probably saved all his Father’s Day gifts, waiting to give them to his when he finally came.

And then he realizes his dad isn’t coming back. And he meets Stan and starts to see him as a father figure. So one day he takes all the Father’s Day presents he made and has saved, and gives them all to Stan. Stan acts like he doesn’t care about the gifts, but secretly loves it and awkwardly accepts them. He’s kept them all in a desk drawer in his office at the Mystery Shack for the next ten years.

Now Stan is out sailing with Ford, and Soos is in charge of the Mystery Shack. One day Soos opens one of the desk drawers and sees that Stan still has all those Father’s Day gifts he gave to him. And Soos screams with delight (and is probably crying a little too) and Melody has to rush into the room to make sure her boyfriend is okay because he screamed so loud.
