Friendly Reminder That You Should

Figured id reblog directly onto this post since its the one that inspired me to draw this

now i can't stop thinking about how Stan wrote a whole 'fan-novel' titled the Duke's Temptations.

going on definitions, a Duchess is usually appointed her title by being a wife wife/widow of a Duke or titled by a Queen from being in a royal family. a Duke being, a man of nobility either appointed or inherited as well in the same way. [side note, their greeted as Your Grace]

Stan writes self-insert fanfics with himself and the Duchess in a heated affair, also allegedly writing a fan novel about the Duke being Ford from context clues (see AH's audio & connected post here).

i would like to assume the novel is about the Duke being tempted into an affair with Stan's stablehand self-insert. from a definition standpoint, i'm also lead to believe that in the Duke's Temptations that the Duchess is married to the Duke (otherwise they could be related but I think unlikely for that era's context).

so. what i'm trying to point out is. Stan wrote a fantasy of not being related to his twin brother and then being intimate with a characterized version of him.

which is an objectively incestuous obsessive thing for him to do as a hobby before he opened the portal.

smut that is NOT tasteful. smut that IS like other smut. smut that does NOT exist to be an exploration of character. smut that IS designed to titillate. for that matter let's start calling it "pornography." I am tired of half-hearted defences of some types of pornographic writing in only some contexts. pornography is not inherently morally suspect because of its sexual nature.

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

Running off like 40 minutes of sleep and an unhealthy amount of caffeine so this is Obviously the perfect time for transmasc!Ford with nsfw Stancest!

- “Caryn I cannot believe you named our daughter after a car.” “Filbrick, hush, her name is lovely, besides look at our son! He’s just not a Stanford somehow.”

- “Stop roughhousing you two! I know you two are having fun but Stanley, you do NOT hit girls. Cortina, ladies do not punch.”

- Ford, who never got told “stop crying out I’ll give you something to cry about” And if crying can get Filbrick to stop yelling or get Stanley out of trouble bc “he was just protecting me they were being so mean!” then that’s normal girls just cry sometimes.

-Stan, who is allowed to be close and protective about Ford and still manages to push those boundaries as far as they’ll go.

-“Stanley, what kind of brother are you to let your sister get beat up!”

-Ford never got sent to learn boxing but raptly watches Stan’s muscles flex from the bleachers

-Stan and Ford still share a room bc there just isn’t enough space (and they start fooling around after puberty)

-Stan fingering Ford’s pussy and calling him babygirl and learning how to dirty talk by what kind of praise and adoration makes Ford react the best

- Ford who still never learned social graces (that would require reading the hidden undercurrent of seemingly every conversation) and this translates to the universal autism experience of his peers thinking he’s the Manic Pixie Dream Girl of their dreams

-Ford’s guard dog of a brother scaring off suitors and bullies alike

-Ford, who doesn’t quite want to be a man but as far as he knows the only other option is to be a woman and Nope Absolutely Not

-Women are supposed to be interested in men and Ford has no interest. Stan doesn’t count, that’s Stan.

-“You’re my brother now? Ok, Ford. If it makes you happy it makes me happy.”

-Stan not even questioning it but asking whether this means Ford doesn’t want to be together anymore (Bc incest is ok I guess but gay incest is questionable?)

-“so do you want me to call your… uh. Stuff something different?” “No! I like it

-Ford asking Stan to teach him how to fight

-Ford trying to use chemistry to make a gradual voice changing solution but accidentally making Potion of Instant Baritone and freaking out about how their parents will react

-Freaking out and crying about how Stan might react and Stan is more concerned that Ford might be hurt but as soon as he realizes he’s 100% on board and just asks what kind of story he needs to help spin.

-and it’s part of what drives them apart

-Men aren’t coddled and protected by their brother

-Men pull themselves up by their boots and make a name for themselves

-Men don’t cry when they’re overstimulated or scared

-If Stan sabotaged him then does he see Ford the way men see women? Property he can control?

Bonus! Trans!Stan

-It’s not that he doesn’t like his dick but sometimes he wishes he had a pretty pussy like Ford’s too. The idea looks right (and he can give himself to Ford entirely)

-But women don’t enjoy having broad shoulders and a punch that can lay out a grown man

-Women don’t have hair absolutely everywhere and a voice like gravel

-After being kicked out and the things he’d had to do, if he was a woman he’d be the kind their parents always called “trash” and “fast” and crossed the street when they saw so he just wasn’t

-At heart he’s still Ford’s loyal dog above anything. A woman obviously can’t be that

Sniles sneetly. Does everyone like my art

Save me sailing era stancest... sailing era stancest save me......

Lost my shit once I fully processed your url . It took saying it Out Loud for me to go "OH. OH- STAN². LIKE STANCEST." And that's saying something, because s² (SHORT FOR STAN²) is my stancest save tag on my gravity falls blog.

Im honestly really flattered that you found my URL so funny 😊

Honestly ive always loved the (character)² to refer to a -cest ship, cause, ya know, character x character = character², and apparently its a running gag for the gravity falls shippers to square the same named couple (fiddauthor as ford², fiddlestanwich as stan²ford², ect.) so i found it extra fitting.

My stancest darkfic with fem!Stan is up on Ao3! Mind the warnings! https://archiveofourown.org/works/64737130

“Actually ao3 shouldn’t allow-“ GO BACK TO WATTPAAAAAAADDDDDDD
