Shoutout To All The Non-stancesters That Make Animations For Ford & Stan To Various Love Songs. You Confuse

Rewatching the show made me realize just how many pinecest moments there are. LOOK!

bro got a new voice and decides to wake his sister girlfriend up with it

reread 'there is a light that never goes out' on ao3 and i cried so hard i threw up. just girly things

(all fiddauthor shippers need to read it its the best fiddauthor fic in the universe point blank period)

Song: When She Loved Me by Sarah McLachlan / stancest told in lyrics

shipping chart thoughts

(billford always happens and they always break up. ford was obsessed when bill was his muse, then bill is obsessed after they’re no longer together and he realizes what he lost) (this dynamic is just canon, really)

(fiddauthor is always present at some point but in one route they end up together after canon events, and in another route fidd moves on) (it’s possible that they had a thing in college but consider it “typical college experimentation” because it’s the 70s and denial is strong. they still go through canon events)

(fiddlestan only happens during the fiddlestan route. otherwise canon events stay the same and they barely actually interact with each other. in the fiddlestan route they work together in the 80s and grow old together)

(billstan isn’t really romantic but it is a one-sided obsession. bill just can’t stop obsessing over the stans… for very different reasons…) (dare i say an unrequited kismesis dynamic?)

(ford and stan are brothers. that’s it. leave them out of the shipping dynamics.)

(fiddlebill isn’t really included here but i feel like the only way this would happen is if bill was possessing ford and wanted to fuck with fidd by using his crush on ford against him) (this one’s basically only possible if it’s fiddauthor-adjacent)

abt your post saying that a popular gf artist drew stancest, do you happen to have those images... *bats eyelashes*

(not the original anon btw)

here you go! (warning: lotta nsfw/suggestive)

^huge fan of this one in particular. it’s so cute

Evolution

When I was 13, I loved scrolling through Google for fanart and reading Pinecest fanfics on Wattpad. Eight years later, not much has changed—I’m doing the same thing with Stancest here on Tumblr and Ao3

STANLEY PINES IS IN LOVE WITH FORD PINES HE WOULD RISK THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE FOR HIM AND YOURE TELLING ME THATS NOT ROMANTIC SHUT UP

oh look, I made another comic.

Since sales are officially over, here’s my piece for the @fiddlefordmcgucketzine

Working on this zine was a blast, thanks to everyone who made it happen!!

The fascinating thing about having only just joined gravity falls fandom, but being previously aware of its presence on the internet; is I know a decade ago the only character with major presence out of the fandom was Dipper. Like if you stumbled on fanart or content while not in fandom most of it involved him. Dipper getting possessed, Dipper beat up, Dipper tormenting his family while possessed, him with Wirt of garden wall.

So when I watched I expected a slightly different show. Something slightly less rounded. Something really only focused on Dipper. Primarily I expected more Dipper getting possessed whump. I thought he was possessed for a string of episodes at one point bc of the sheer amount of Dipper possession art I saw roughly a decade ago.

But now the characters with the biggest presence are the old men. In particular theres alot more focus on Fiddleford than ever. Alot of art, analysis, and fic is recontextualizing the traumas these old men have been through. The way the memory gun is an analogy for addiction, the way Bill is just a shitty abusive ex (an entertaining one, but one nonetheless), the way that the show tackles generational trauma so on an so forth.

But thats still not the show in its entirety, the microscope just shifted.

What I'm saying is there is a non zero chance some poor soul will walk into Gravity Falls thinking its more about old man Mcgucket than anything, only to get wildly confused. I wish them luck I can only imagine the show that existed in their head before watching and I hope the tonal disonace was as funny as mine was when I realised Dipper was just some sweaty kid who loved his family.
