Finally Getting Back To The Author Stan Fic After Way Too Long. Hoping To Get The Next Chapter Done By

Finally getting back to the Author Stan fic after way too long. Hoping to get the next chapter done by this weekend, so here's a sneak peek on the next journal page...

(Also, I'm really sorry to everyone who's asks about this fic have been sitting unanswered for far too long. I was feeling pretty down in the dumps and didn't want to answer questions about this fic during my unintended "hiatus". Gonna probably take a day this weekend to get all those answered too. 💙)

This may sound strange, but why aren't Stan and Carla married? No, of course, if we take Stan's age separately for consideration, then this is quite normal. It's just that he's been in a relationship for more than 10 years and he's obviously a family man. Why didn't he decide to find his peace in marriage and children?

Maybe he would even have had twins. That would be nice

Again, I do not want to say that everyone is obliged to start a family. It's just that Stan seems to me like a person who would want it.

I think he'd definitely want to get married and start a family eventually (Would probably name one of the kids Ford). But I think the two main factors in that not having happened yet is that:

A: He wants to wait until he's found the root of Gravity Falls weirdness. Until he's done that and created the legacy he wanted Ford to have he doesn't want to risk any distractions. Plus, that theory will probably make them pretty much set for life economically, and he wants to make sure their family won't have to worry about money.

And B: Plain and simple, he's terrified that he'll be a bad father and turn out like Filbrick. It'd take a lot to convince him those fears are unfounded.

I'm just sending this to let you know how much I LOVE YOUR PIRATE AU SO MUCH!!!! AND YOUR NEW ART WITH THAT FORD ANGST JUST SLAPS!!! SO GOOD!! SO AMAZING!!! AND THE COLORS AND EXPRESSION, AND JUST AHHHH!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!! YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND AMAZING!!!

AHHHHH! Thank you! I was really happy with how that one turned out and put in a lot of effort so it's always great to hear people notice 💙

Some more pirate AU character design?

I feel like Paz would probably be the governor's daughter or something.

It is done. I am finally back to this fic! Thanks everyone for sticking with me!

Translations:

Wouldn’t eat the crust. What is this thing, three?

If Stan found out that Ford was alive in a time of peace for him, what kind of feeling would prevail? Anger that Ford didn't come home or joy that he is alive? It just seems to me that Stanley will not accept the excuse "I wanted to protect you". It seems to me that no one from the family will be satisfied with this excuse

I have a funny picture in my head of Stan dragging Ford to his house and locking him in the basement so that he doesn't disappear

I think this scenario is best summed up in this short comic I made for my 500 follower celebration.

It'd very much be a mix of extreme anger and extreme happiness and relief. He would definitely not accept Ford's excuse, and it would cause a rift that would take a long time to heal and to rebuild that trust. But eventually they'd get there.

Cue Stan and Ford (+Carla probably) faking their deaths and moving overseas/going off on a boat and living happily together investigating mysteries and cryptids under fake names.
