This May Sound Strange, But Why Aren't Stan And Carla Married? No, Of Course, If We Take Stan's Age Separately

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.

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

Hello please reblog this if you're okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

I know this is a strange question, but what does Filbrick have to do with what happened.

It is quite obvious that for Caryn, Ford's death is a real tragedy (too strong changes in her tell us about it). Sherman is probably sad, too, though not so much. There's nothing to say about Stan here. I think that he is the worst of all.

But the reaction of their father is incomprehensible to me, to be honest. He is a harsh and tough person. And that's why I can't understand his feelings

Ah yes, this one is honestly hard for me to answer because I'm not 100% sure myself. Like when he yelled at Stan after he runs away following the news of Fords "death". Was he upset because he'd already lost one son and was scared he'd lose a second too, or was he just upset because he's Filbrick and that's what he is.

I think he is genuinely upset over Ford's death to some extent. But the question is how much of that is because he upset over the loss of his child, and how much is because he's upset over the loss of his investment.

I'll leave that up to you to decide.

1/2 I really love how in character the role-swap of your Author Stan AU feels, and how Stan and Ford's behavior in their new roles kinda parallel their canon roles. The imposter syndrome Stan experiences as he pursues paranormal study for Ford's sake with the intent of giving Ford all the credit reflects him spending 30 years rebuilding the portal while being his brother's literal imposter in that he places himself under Ford's shadow in both situations.

Aww thank you so much! I tried to make as many parallels as possible, so I'm happy it's noticeable!
