It’s so sad that we have to turn Stanley into a literal animal sometimes for Ford to love him again. (I’m 1000% behind this new Raven AU though, don’t get me wrong) 😭😭😭😭
AOGH- I do think Ford loves him but he's always so deep in the Nile it leaves me so bitter, I want to strangle that nerd.
Stan got turned into an animal but had also been living like one. For years. And I think the realisation of that is always sweet on Ford (GUIKTY FORD GUILTY FORD!!)
But while we're still on raven Stan: Imagine him staying with his bird habits. Bro will be sleeping in blanket nests.
He has a tendency to bow his head and look at you as he did as a bird and it's creepy at first until Ford realises it's how corvids show affection in a way. That he respects Ford.
Also?? Stan becomes even more of a menance after- "HEY! That's the fucker that (action that really doesn't matter in the long run) back in (years ago)!!" Bro will be holding onto those grudges even after he's human.
