Sleeping Habits

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

As much wood as it would take to chuck at your mom and steal your bitches for the alien takeover.

From this fic

Do we ever talk about how Stanley aged? And I don't mean in a "haha younger twin look older" kinda way, but just how much he ran himself into the ground?

Imagine what Ford was thinking once he got a good look at Stanley. Without the judgement or bitterness, without the haze. REALLY looked at him. His sunken eyes, his thinning and greying hair, the layer of chub that has accumulated on his torso and arms. The amount of scars and marks he had earned.

The realization of just how much Stanley neglected himself in favor of him. Neglected himself in favor of the kids, of the business, of everything.

Maybe even the realization of how HE would have looked, if Stanley didn't swoop in all those years ago. How HE would look if he had to fight sleep at night and work his ass off during the day like he planned. The realization that Stanley took all that burden, and he'd do it again for him in a heartbeat.

Since you all seem intent on making this as sad and depressing as possible, allow me to add a bit of lightheartedness/humor.

What if Ford just catches Stanley's ghost in the house one day, similar to the grocery store clerks? Maybe he's just chilling in the gift shop, and absolutely scares the shit out of Soos just for kicks.

Or he keeps knocking the exact same mug off the table once Ford sits it down, similar to a cat. Just to see the frustration and confusion on his brother's face. Sure, he doesn't remember anyone in the shack, but he can still prank them, right?

Maybe Ford almost passed out when he sees Stan's face in the mirror instead of his own. And not in a depressing "we have the same face" way, but Stan is making the most ugly, fucked up face he can possibly muster while Ford is walking past a mirror at 3am.

just wanted to add some thoughts to the memory vial/brain dead au (or whatever we're calling it)

because of course ford's guilt about using the memory gun on stan is so much worse than it is in canon, not just for the obvious reasons but also because like

this wasn't the plan

Stan agreed to have his memories erased—of course he did, the whole thing was his idea. But he didn't know he was going to die. Granted, I feel like Stan probably still would've been willing to make that sacrifice if he had known that. But I don't think Ford would've.

Ford just thought he was turning his brother into an amnesiac, and even then he almost couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. And of course he knew it was going to hurt, having Stan look at him like he's a stranger, but at least that's the outcome he was preparing himself for.

He was not prepared to see Stan's body topple over on its side, his unblinking eyes staring blankly ahead. Ford rushes to his brother's aid, grabbing him by the shoulders, trying to rouse him, calling his name (except, he wouldn't know his own name anymore, would he?). Stan's not moving. He's not breathing. Oh God, he's not breathing. Ford glances at the memory gun on the ground next to them, and horror washes over him as he realizes what he's done. The gun erased more than just memories, it erased everything. Stan's brain was a floppy drive and Ford was the magnet, wiping it clean and leaving it broken beyond repair.

No, no, this wasn't the plan. Time to call off the con. This wasn't supposed to happen. Stop, cut, abort mission, abort mission!

But it's too late. What's done is done, and he can't take it back.

Oh God, I killed him.

Sobbing now, Ford mutters choked-out apologies, first to Stan's body as he holds him tight—and again at his grave after he's buried. And the apologies start up anew every time he visits.

As the years go on, Ford is haunted by all the what-ifs that might've saved his brother's life. What if he had thought to type "Stanley Pines memories" into the memory gun instead of just "Stanley Pines", would it have kept his essential brain functions intact? Hell, what if he typed in "Bill Cipher"? Would that have been enough to kill the bastard and still let Stanley keep most of his memories and, more importantly, his life?

Ford doesn't know the answer to that question. And he'll never know. Because as much as he longs for it, he'll never have that chance to go back and do it differently.

Chat what the fuck is the blaze button supposed to do

Some drawings of the pines twins I had lying around

I would like to offer up a sacrifice to this concept.

May I present to you, "feel better" by Penelope Scott. https://youtu.be/ZYAuuDgUVNM?si=BkD70RsTNkxKeV35

Take that how you will, and draw your own conclusions my friend 👌

Welcome to another episode of "This Song fits This Character and Why"! With your host: me.

As you can see, I'm in love with Yaelokre's songs (I need more pls) and these past few days I've been listening to "Kid & Leveret" on repeat over and over again. And you all must know what happens when you mix your favorite songs and hyperfixations together!😃

So, I think that song fits Stan and Ford. Ok, so why do I think that? I'm gonna be honest here man, it's less about the lyrics and more about the ✨vibe✨ BUT. The lyrics that really do fit the twins, is the intro.

This is a story

About two children

One who hid to be heard

And another who ran to be remembered

I present to you, "Kid & Leveret"

This really is a story about two children. Or, well, it begins as such. The kid who hid to be heard is Stan. Because he lived a majority of his life hiding, detached from the world, using fake names, and trying to make the millions he promised. Because that was the only way he thought he could redeem himself, to be heard. Also the song talks about how Cole used to run and hide (at least from what I understand, I'm still confused about the Lark's past T^T) and yeah, it just gives me Stan vibes.

The kid run to be remembered is Ford. Because the second he had the chance to leave New Jersey, finally make a name for himself, but not as a six-fingered freak but as a scientist, he took it. Or was really close to taking it. I mean, that's pretty much why everything happened in the show, right? Because he wanted to prove he's more than just his birth defect. But he still kept going, he still left to get on that journey to become well known. He ran to be remembered.

Basically Kid & Leveret is about two children trying to escape their mothers (although in Stan and Ford's case it can be their dad, maybe kinda their mom too, and the town in general) who saw them as pawns and trophies. Ford much more so since Stan was deemed as the problematic twin, but both of them were degraded to things lesser than sons, than kids, in different ways from eachother by the adults around them growing up.

More bored drawings lol
