something i drew for chapter 15 of i did it my way🎆!!
and once again, vox has trapped alastor in hopes of winning his affections over and forcing him to stay by his side - now in a completely different universe. he has romanticized this version of al to a point where he doesn't realize how he brought back his own dynamic with his own alastor, how nothing has changed at all.
drew this while listening to ariana grande's hate that i made you love me and it's soooo fitting for al/vox specifically it's crazy (if going with the "broken relationship" interpretation of the song). took a while to finish but i'm pretty happy with the end result and i hope you are too!
also we're so so close to 100k hits!!! check it out if you haven't already and an extra thanks to those who already supported it, love each and every one of you :) 🤍

Putting this out there because I think a lot of people need to hear/see this.
Fic recs
@nostalgia4light requested some fanfic reccommendations, and I always love talking about stuff I enjoy, so here’s a list of Gravity Falls fic recs for anyone who’s interested. Some of these may be well known but I put them in just in case. And of course they’re pretty much mostly about Stan :p
Raising Stakes by MaryPSue is of course quite good. Vampire Stan is just as lovable as regular Stan..
by the skin of your teeth by apathetic_revenant is a good one that was completed recently. A bit dark, but not too dark. Just the right amount.
Time Has Changed Me (And Left Me Full of Doubt) by asbelow has a bit of an odd choice of AU circumstances, a mix between single father Stan and reverse portal, but it’s after Ford brought him back and is with the 80′s period Stans. What I like about it is that Stan’s kid and his interactions with Ford are really well done. I’m not usually into kid fics, but this one works well. Unfortunately it hasn’t updated in quite a while so I don’t know if it will continue.
Cellular Memory by Bgtea is a great one of course, I’ve re-read it quite a few times.
Any fic by impish_nature is great, and there are a lot of them, spanning all sorts of topics and themes.
Heart Beats and In the Shadow of Death (based on the JOML AU) by A_Zap are good. And the JOML AU is of course a classic AU.
Fisherman’s Knot by scribefindegil is an obvious one, pretty much a staple fic for any Stan twins fan. It does update very very slowly, but imho it’s still pretty satisfying despite being unfinished because the first half of the story is quite self contained.
A Tale Of Three Stans by Beleriandings is a really interesting one about Stan meeting another Ford from a different dimension who ends up in theirs by accident.
Family Bonding by scribefindegil and thesnadger is about Stan and Mabel accidentally getting fused together. It’s great.
Things You Can’t Take Back is also by thesnadger and it’s one of the first GF fics I ever read. There’s also “Pet Humans” which is another Joml AU fic. Thesnadger has quite a few good ones actually.
“ A Pound of Flesh by LogicalBookThief is one that I’m weirdly attached to, idk maybe it’s the atmosphere or something but I’m always surprised at how few notes it has cause I really enjoyed it.
the Mystery Nerds AU by babyblueavenger is a great series where Stan suffers from pneumonia when he arrives at Gravity falls and Ford, unable to send him away immediately, has to learn how to pull his head out of his ass. Has some pretty dark themes but Stan also gets a puppy so it evens out. The 5th installment was never finished sadly, but the other 4 have complete stories.
it can’t rain forever (we’re on to better weather) by A_Beautiful_Beast is a cute short one about Stan awkwardly trying to figure out how to ask for a hug from Ford, since it’s been 40 years and the one in the clearing didn’t count.
“Shots” by LogicalBookThief, I still get sad when I read the part where Stan first wakes up. This fic is where I got the idea for Abuelita being a nurse in my own fic.
Blind Faith by pinesinthewoods - I mean I kind of have to rec this one after intober. The Blind Faith AU is an oldie but a goodie.
Better Kept Secret by BadonKaDank - Ford did some things on the other side of the portal that he’d rather Stan not know about. But Stan is very nosy and also maybe gets temporarily kidnapped.
I’m sure there are plenty that I missed, and I tried to (mostly) avoid incomplete ones. There are plenty of great fics out there for sure! Hopefully you guys can discover something new from this list.
hello darklord!!
can we get some filbrick thoughts? (from any of your aus or canon) I’ve just been thinking about him and stan a lot lately, and I love your interpretation of him <3
happy early halloween!!
Sure!
Hmm.
For one, he was an awful parent, but I don't think he was the scum of the Earth. He was just a bad dad, like thousands of bad dads out there, who wasn't ready and didn't want to be a parent, and thought it was his responsibility to try anyway. Did he love them? I think so, he got them in boxing and tried to prepare them for the world in his own way. Did he suck at showing it? Of for sure 100%. He was a man who had expectations, and was given two kids that didn't meet them for one reason or another.
Like, look at their room as kids. That place is full of toys, the walls are skuffed, and they have all their things splayed around everywhere. Caryn probably got some of it, but Filbrick was the man of the house, there's no way he wouldn't have a say in some of it. I can very much see a younger Stan or Ford begging for something at a store, and Filbrick telling them they have to earn it.
Then only bought one, because they can share.
So yeah, I think he loved them. I think he also wanted to be men in the same way he was raised to be a man. Don't show emotions, be tough, be responsible for your actions, do Manly things, contribute to society and be independent.
Except he also treated them as a unit, and didn't encourage them to become independent from each other, just pit them against each other.
I think he was neglectful, and abusive, and didn't know how to express his frustration in healthy ways or be patient or find value in their interests. I don't think he cared for Fords success either, until it was a way to make money. Sure he'd display Fords achievements, but it was an expectation to succeed, not something to be proud of.
I think he definitely was the root cause of their splintering, but he was a human person, and probably acted the way he did for a reason. Its not an excuse, just a fact of life. He was the adult, it was his job to look after his kids and help them grow, but he didn't want to be a dad, and also probably didn't really know what he was doing. Just got angrier every time Stan messed up without addressing the root cause, and just washed his hands of him when it was one big mistake too many. I wouldn't be surprised if he told Ford not to come home unless he had something to show for it either.
Hmm. Just. People come in a variety of flavors, and some are jerks or assholes for no real reason, and he was stuck in his ways and there was no way he was going to change how he went about raising the Stans.
(Side note, I think Caryn was probably just as neglectful. Its said straight out that the Stans only had each other, and while, again, i think she loved her sons, i think she loved the ideas she had of them in her mind more than the actual kids she had. I don't think they would have turned out much better if she raised them by herself, just had different problems. Very much to me like a parent who gets drunk and waves the kids to go play because she's too busy. She was there for the fun of having kids but let filbrick discipline them)
Anyway, its why i like fics that explore in what ways he could have been a better parent. It wasn't going to happen on its own, so what forces could push him into changing? I've seen one where Ford disappearing led him to treating Stan better, where he time traveled and realized he had a chance to change things for them and fix some of his regrets, and I just turned him into a werewolf and forced to confront the feelings he'd been suppressing.
Thats my thoughts anyway. I think he's interesting, that he should get blamed for the Stan fall out more, and that he would have been happier without kids.
[ID: Teen Stan, standing underwater and holding a toddler version of himself. He has red scales forming on his arms, and the hems of his pant legs are torn and muddy. He looks worried. End ID.]
next up for @fanartfrenzy bingo! @dark-lord-of-awesomeness' changeling Stan, who first appears so far in Chapter 18 of their Whumptober 2025 fic and also has a masterpost here!
we dont know very much about him yet but i love him and im very excited for when we learn more about him
Mabel teaches him bad things lol
BONUS:
Fiddleford is that overprotective mother when it comes to this whole family, hahahha
as i promised, i made another comic out section of @caninescreations' bloodsucker brother AU! Specifically of a little piece of the ficlet Absolvo Non Te because ohhhh my god. the denial. Filbrick thinks his son is a monster and is never going to do Stan the kindness of admitting it
I made this comic BECAUSE the ficlet is from Filbrick's POV, and we do not see the fight. I could have drawn it! But the fact that we only get to see the aftermath, from Filbrick's perspective, by looking at Stan's corpse... i wanted to figure out how to convey that in drawing form bc ohhhh my god thats so GOOD
ID is in alt text this time bc it was 1) long and 2) complicated
AGAINST AI!
the world needs more idealists like Mabel Tanaka who cares
redraw of my hit the road jack radiostatic from 2020!
Ever wondered how Crosshair got his name?
drew some headshots for i did it my way 📸
well, only one of them got shot in the-
you know, im reeeeeally starting to like the 2010s white boy hair on vincent, it fits him so well im 100% keeping it. i thought the red flannel shirt for al would give him more of a southern, good samaritan flair, so i hope it looks alright! not sure if it'll stay, though. ALSO it's my first time drawing the canonical human form of alastor and vox, which im pretty happy with!
personally, i dont care about the alastor mustache discourse (which exists, i guess) but i wanted to make the difference between him and al more stark so i added it 🥸
im just chilling rn because the progress of the next chapter is going pretty smoothly, so expect it in the coming week or so! here's a link for anyone new:
I Did It My Way by RetroBettyO
Random thought about potential Staticsilence: Alastor regaining his feared reputation as the Radio Demon....and everyone revering him to an extent as Hell presumably used to... Everyone but Vox. The one who used to do that the most. Vox who....is just done. Everything he thought mattered at least a little bit to both of them...only for it to not really have mattered at all from his limited perspective based on what he knows goes....well what's the point?
my friend got me some AWESOME really late birthday gifts
