I think that while it’s talked about a bit there’s so much untapped potential in fanfic writer Stan and fanfic writer and beta reader Soos.
You best believe Soos taught Stan how to navigate ao3 and post fics to The Duchess Approves fandom and beta reads all his fics which get a decent following.
I think that compared to Stan, Soos’s fics get a bit less numbers cause he usually posts in obscure fandoms or does original works but the readers he does have are extremely loyal and comment after every chapter.
Anyway Bonding ensues and Soos and Stan share fics all throughout Stan and Ford’s adventures together until they head back to gravity falls to see everyone again.
Stone going on a undercover mission for gun and forgets to tell Robotnik causing the doctor to go on a rampage until stone returns (just wanted to share this idea to someone)
Coincidentally, that was the last mission Stone ever got from G.U.N.

Hello new followers!! Sorry I haven’t personally posted in a while, so here’s a little something with Mabel n Ghost Ford bonding in the mean time!
EDIT: Stan and Dipper’s turn bonding
Okay okay I have tried something….pls pls gravity falls fandom do NOT make fun of me for it.
So uh I remember the rap battle Mr. Pine vs Ford ask a while back…and I have watched a few Rap Battles YouTube videos and wanted to… try to make Mr. Pinius Pine’s first verse. This was my first time ever doing something like this.
I don’t really think I capture Mr. Pine’s character correctly, but I wanted to at least give it a shot….
I mean there’s no harm in trying, right?
(Slowly rising upbeat tempo, curtain opens)
Welcome friends!, it’s time for the show.
I have heard of making enemies, but buddy, this is an all time low.
I didn’t come here to attack
Yet here I am picking your slack
You’re over there with your 12 PHD’s
And yet with you’re looking like you’d be knocked down with a single breeze
I’m a piece of Felt, but with these verse I belt
I’ll be the last one standing, not a single criticism of yours sticks the landing
OOOOOHHHHHHHH GUYS THE RAP BATTLE!!!!!! GUYS THE RAP BATTLE IS ON QUICK EVERYONE GET THE CAMERA
WHO IS NEXT WHOSE GONNA DO STANFORDS REPLY KEEP IT GOIN
priorities
*as always: do not tag ship
i SO agree about robotnik being aggressive even when he's trying to be affectionate. he's like a dog with no bite inhibition
accidental injuries, too! i have a very silly scene in my head where stone tries to do the good morning hug from behind trope and robotnik gets so startled that he elbows him in the ribs lol
Stone is very proud
ko-fi
You know I had to
Do you ever think about the fact that Stan had a closet full of evidence against himself for committing identity theft against Ford so Ford could be cleared of all charges Stan accrued in his name? Cause I can’t stop. That man has been in court at least three times he’s not unaware.
Oh. Oh I had not thought of this. Ah. Ouch.
He was prepared for any option. Do you think, at least a little, Stan was ready for Ford to kick him out? Fo you think that somewhere in the back of Stans mind he fully believed that despite saving his brother, he was ready to go? That the only reason he knew he was going to stay was to watch the kids?
God. Terrible, terrible thought. I’m in pain.
the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal
yo dudes so i'm currently making a tma book for my friend!
it's basically the tma wiki but in book form :)
(highly inspired by what pricklypearviking on reddit did just much less cool)
current status: i run out of printer toner and im in pain so decided to share this to pass the time
Were you ever nervous to write/post your stuff? If so, how did you get over it?
I was nervous to post the first few chapters of How to Cat Burglar a Family, because it was my first fic, then nervous to post Special Delivery because it was my first non cat related fic, but after that not overly. I know a lot of writers talk about having unfinished WIP they don't post, but I don't have anything unposted except for the next part of Gravity Falls 2012 cat shorts because I'm still deciding what I want to do about Bill.
That's because after I wrote and posted everything I got nervous about I remember that I can do whatever I want, and that if no one else likes it that's OK, because I write all of this for me. Plus the likelihood of me getting attacked or facing consequences for a bad chapter are like. Nothing. So far all that's happened is people talk to me about my own aus more, which is great, as I have no one irl to do so. The relief of finally seeing each chapter off is greater then the nerves of if people will like it.
I guess the best way to say how I got over it was that I took my nerves and crushed them to the ground. Life is what you make of it and putting yourself out there can be fun. This isn't something I recommend for everyone, as it's a skill I hardened over years of severe social anxiety and emotional control over my very bad temper. At one point I just learned how to bundle my feelings and crush them (which, again, don't recommend for everyone. It's a process learning when and where to do this)
