PSA ABOUT STANLEY PINES AND HOW HE ISNT STUPID WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT FINN IM CRYING
(this is very not well written i was EMOTIONAL and SOBBING when i was typing this i will revise it later)
he is NOT stupid. (despite what @euphoric-ghoul says.......) his brother is a genius, 12 phds, got a huge grant, made a perpetual motion machine which is impossible- but despite that, stan is still not stupid.
you cant compare him to his brother, since theyre both very intelligent in their own ways. it takes smarts to fend for yourself after getting kicked out fresh out of highschool, hes a con man, and its shown throughout the series and books that hes acutely aware of what hes doing and what is happening around him.
its a classic street-smart and book-smart situation. although ford is definitely street smart after surviving 30 years in the multiverse.
theyre made to parallel eachother, fords weaknesses are stans strengths- take their social skills. although its played for laughs, stan knows how to talk.
but i hate it when people consider their highschool selves to be the same person now that theyre in their fifties. not only would that be crazy even if they were normal, did you not watch the episode where their entire lives change??? highschool stan was irresponsible, and highschool ford couldnt talk to a girl. those people are completely different from the men who dealt with the supernatural and were left to fend for themselves alone.
anyway this was all for FINN... @euphoric-ghoul WHY WOULD YOU SAY stan is the "stupid one" and ford is the "smart one" IM ACTUALLY GONNA FIGHT YOU WHEN I SEE YOU AGAIN BUDDY...... leave my GLORIOUS KING alone....
for context i was talking to finn and he MISCHARACTERIZED my two glorious twins.....
