Stan Is The Only Member Of The Pines Twins^2 To Never Make A Deal With Bill And I Think He Needs More

stan is the only member of the pines twins^2 to never make a deal with bill and i think he needs more credit for that.

ford makes, just, so many deals with his demon boyfriend

dipper literally trades his body to bill in sock opera

and while i will die on the hill that it was never her fault, mabel is tricked into making a deal with him for weirdmagenon.

but stan never gets tricked. the only time he comes close was when he was pretending to be ford but that was with the sole purpose of getting bill erased. never does bill get to him or twist his thoughts. for being the "dumb one" he's surprisingly rational in this was.

nobody matches bill intellectually, ford's fatal flaw is that he thought he did, and the pines family wins because they have an emotional core that bill never had (the power of sibling bonding saves the day and i love it) but ill go out on a limb and say that out of everyone, stan is the only one to match bill's street smarts.

bill's a master manipulator but stan is a professional con-artist with no respect for the law, you tell me who's coming out on top.

stan successfully faked his own death, ran a business for 30 years, taught himself some sort of advanced engineering to repair the portal, evaded local, federal and international authorities from the age of 18, and did it all without any support.

and going back to when he pretends to be ford to get bill to enter his mind, that scene makes stan the only character to ever outwit bill.

anyways this has been a stan pines appreciation post, thank you and goodnight

if skyrim followers complained about me as much as i complain about them

'she just ran on ahead so i followed and got stuck in a bear trap. turns out she has that sneak perk that means you don't set off traps. and she didn't mention this to me gods damn it. i'll have these scars for ever now. both mental and physical'

'so i stood there zapping the bandits while she crept around in the back looting all the chests and barrels she could find. didn't even thank me. didn't give me a share of the profit. she gave me a pretty neat sword she found but the moment we returned to whiterun she sold it'

'i have never seen anyone this addicted to alchemy. straight up dropped like five soul gems and a pair of boots so she could carry more cave mushrooms. like i know i'll never see the profit from any of these valuables but it grinds my gears so much'

'she went straight up a mountain. like a vertical rock face. in the time it took her to struggle to the top i'd found the path not fifty yards away. oh yes and yesterday she just straight up yeeted herself off a cliff. said something about being able to reload if it didn't work. honestly i wouldn't care but she's the fricking dragonborn and i'm being held responsible for her safety'

'she keeps going into sneak mode and then back again in quick succession apparently just to confuse me. turns out she finds it amusing watching me bob up and down trying to copy her. gods damn it she's a literal child'

'that time she ran headlong into a cave full of bandits and then hid behind me when they attacked. said something about it being fine because i'm essentially immortal. i didn't feel immortal when it was done'

'those times when i do most of the fighting while she hides, only for her to run in last minute, do one of those hideous shout things, and take all the credit'

'i'm carrying five swords and a delicatessen's worth of cheese and then she hands me an entire fricking dragon'

'she laughed at me because i can't swim very well. she didn't have to swim across the river when there was a perfectly good bridge right next to us. also if i looked like i was drowning it's because i was. there was a slaughterfish'

'when she hired me i didn't even know she was the dragonborn. i just thought we'd have a jolly to a couple of caves and then part ways. but no. 67 caves, several trips up to high hrothgar and a metric f*ckton of dragons later and we're still going. i do not get paid enough for this sh*t'
