Hi everyone! I’m back to tell you how good @sixerstanley ‘s fics are ;)
I’ve been craving some distraction from the overwhelming amount of work I have on the last week of 2024 and Clover posted the first chapter of teen!stancest (How Can I) Say No To This so, obviously I had to drop everything and make this silly little picture.
Clover, my dear, thank you so much for your beautiful fics, reading your work always makes my day better

I love shipping characters who hate each other in canon.
I love shipping characters who have had exactly one (1) conversation in canon.
I love shipping characters who have never met in canon.
I love shipping characters from different pieces of media.
It starts off silly. The notion of the pairing is so weird, so unexpected and seemingly dumb that it makes me laugh a little, perk up, look into it and see if this is really a thing.
And then it becomes a joke. Haha, look at this ship I’m shipping ironically, isn’t it silly, it would obviously never work out in canon but I’m looking at it and producing content for it anyway because it’s fun.
But as time goes on, it starts filling my feed. I start thinking about it - really thinking about it. Why did someone put these characters together in the first place? How would they really interact? How did they end up together, and why would they stay together?
What started out as a joke becomes a diving-off point, an opportunity to really think about both characters. The dynamic isn’t canon, so it’s yours to shape. The dynamic isn’t canon, so now you must delve into each character on your own, figure out how you perceive and understand both of them, learn to see them in a different light. What started out as a joke encourages you to dig deeper, think harder, fall even more in love with those characters as you consider the potentials which lie outside of canon, but which ultimately trace their roots through the core of the characters themselves.
Because by their very nature, crackships and rarepairs are not based on plot, and they are not based on canon. They are so seemingly random and odd that they disrupt your typical view of these characters, making you think more deeply about them. The non-canon ships you embrace or reject can inform your perception of these characters on a deep level. They can make you cry just as easily as they make you laugh. They add so much flavor.
And they can also be really, really funny.
I think it's funny because I take sertraline and it still gives me really vivid dreams, but the weirdest thing I’ve ever dreamed was reading a book??? Anyway, I’d love to dream something related to stancest, and if I can make it lucid, I want to manifest that pizza just to see what it tastes like lmao
so here’s a fun fact: seroquel often gives you weird, vivid dreams.
anyways. had a dream where i went to a ytp party. someone brought out a fucking. stancest pizza? the box said “STANCEST: INCEST IS WINCEST” and the fuckin’. mini pizza table thing at the center of the pizza had a stancest decal. everyone was EXTREMELY hyped about stancest pizza
anyways are there any dream interpreters in the chat what does stancest pizza mean

they danced together after getting soaked in punch,it's canon I was Stanley's bowtie😌
Omg ok I think I found another extraneous detail that I can wildly contort into something that feeds my sick Stancest needs.
Stan’s fanfiction.
So here’s an excerpt of official audio from Alex:
The setup is that the duchess cheats on the duke with this self insert “stable uncle”. Ok what you’d expect so far, he self ships himself with the attractive female lead, and his romantic rival is a very well spoken duke with whom he has some mutual disdain for (hm… well spoken and antagonistic toward him, I wonder if there’s anyone he drew real life inspiration from…?)
As a side note, I would like to point out that he describes the affair as “forbidden” implying that forbidden love is an appealing idea to him...
But what makes this really interesting is the title of his fanfic. Which is this:
The DUKE’S Temptations, not the stable uncle’s or even the duchess’s temptations. The DUKE’S. Now this is a little odd considering that this duke character isn’t his insert character but rather a RIVAL to his insert character. The assumed scenario from the audio would be that the focus is on the duchess having an affair with Stan’s insert, but this suggests that the focus would shift and that the duke himself is tempted into an affair.
Given that the duke’s speaking patterns sound awfully similar to ford’s as well the petty jabs at each other sounding just as familiar, I think it’s safe to say that the duke is the ford insert character.
And being that the title is what it is, I really don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the duke must become the main love interest for stan’s insert. I mean Stan’s character must remain the protagonist right? It would be odd for him to write an insert fic without his own romance being the main focus.
So there would be a change in attitudes on both sides. Literally enemies to lovers. Two men who come to understand each other amid their competition and develop a mutual passion that runs much deeper than their contempt ever did. A forbidden and dangerous affair. A temptation that neither can resist. Wow. Soos needs to needs to upload this to ao3 asap. I wanna read this now.
