Pines Dentistry: A gravity Falls AU
Domestic AU that might deal with addiction, and addiction processing?
Ford would be the owner of Pines Dentistry, a practice he opened in his 20s both as his career of choice and in an effort to help his brother Stanley get back on his feet after a rough reunion, where in he found out Stan had not only been living in his car, but was just out of rehab for an unspecified drug addiction
36 years old, He is the head dentist of Pines dentistry,a small dentist office in Gravity Falls oregon he runs with his much more business minded and people positive brother, Stanley, he is noted as a phenomenal dentist, one of the best in the field of dentistry, and he had to be, to graduate with a MDM at just 24.
He’s a very forward and blunt person, who typically doesn’t think of others, unless its in action and not words, and oddly, where this failed him in his personal and social life, this makes him a very trustworthy dentist to his patients, who appreciate his very blunt way of talking, and if they don’t, Stan can bring even the worst of them around most of the time. His niece and nephew love him though, even if he isnt the best at talking with them, they also appreciate how weird he is and how he doesnt talk down to them, and how he, like Stan, likes to indulge them in their hobbies, it helps he and dipper have the common interest in oddities and ddmd, and mabel is just a fun wild child who just gets him in that same way stan does.
He is a magnet for romantically interested patients and the occasional patient who just is so sure he was wrong and wants to beat him up, he’d like to fight back but that would ruin his rep, Stan has no such worries though and is more than happy to chase off the suitors who are a bit too forward with the good doctor or seconds from beating his face in. He seemingly has no feelings for anyone, but appreciates the closeness of friendship, siblingship, and the banter with his latest dental assistant.
Added from discord: and on the other hand he is such a attractive guy , makes good money, you've got alot of people interested who just dont take no for an answer, or that ford doesn't date patients, or anyone
trust that hed be punching too if he could but not only would he have pesky lawsuits, the crazier ones would want HIM to do the repair work for any broken teeth
stan on the other hand is very good at the get em when they least expect it and plausible deniability routine
so if he gets asked, he just tells people oh, stanley must have gone to the bar he likes five miles out of town or, oh, Lee must be at McDonalds again....i wonder if he would get me a mcdouble....
While he may seem like he has a eternal case of resting bitch face, his style of dress and the dentist office theme is definitely not expected. His clothing is the usual soft soled shoe and scrubs, but the scrub tops range from professional, one color tops to very silly cartoon character styles, themed, and patterns, its agreed mabel is picking all of these (Ford does actually like the deviation, but was already picking certain ones himself, such as the alien ones, all five)
His office is very cryptid themed, because he LOVEs cryptids, and that was a bit of why he set his practice in Gravity Falls, because there used to be so many stories of weird creatures and strange sightings, and he is a oddity junkie at heart.
He stims in the form of hand flapping,, tapping his fingers together ina rhythm, and occasionally rubbing his leg. He WAS addicted to coffee, but due to a very…enlightnening hospital stay, he drinks water , watered down juices, and herbal teas. He is absolutely a pot calling the kettle black about candy consumption though, its no secret in gravity falls that the local dentist is frequently the culprit of jelly bean shortages
ace with homoromantic leanings.
Stan
36, former homeless junkie, Ford was called to pick him up from rehab, they had a rough reunion, but Ford seemed to finally realize Stan was at the bottom of the barrel, so, in his own, straightforward way, he picked up stan, his car from impound, and hauled it all to oregon with him, telling Stan he wouldnt be dieing on his watch because, and it was clear to Stan he was holding back tears, he already didnt have Stan for ten years, he couldnt imagine not having him there the rest of his life. It took more than that, and a an all out brawl, but Stan eventually found his place at first as the grumpy receptionist to his brother, then handling the insurance, and now he basically manages the practice the for his brother with his own fancy business degree, hired a new receptionist, guys name is Soos, and definitely seems to see Stan as a big brother,probably polydating the woman who he met in pennsylvania and her partner (they love to travel and have made it work), and gets to fight the people who try to hurt his brother! The ultimate wins for Stan, and, he has his beloved brother back, along with his older brother, and his niece and nephew who come to visit every holiday.
He’s actually, secretly a pay it forward kinda guy. He’s currently in a big brother program and has been paired with a kid named Wendy, he’s not so bad, he tips high at certain places, to keep up the practices rep. And he’s the sponsor for Fords situationship/best friend who runs the computer store, fiddleford mcgucket. The only person stan really hasnt liked in all this is Fords new assistant,Bill. He can’t trust him, because he sees himself at his worst in him.
Fiddleford Mcgucket
37, owner of a computer repair shop, app creator, possible hacker, amateur/advanced robot maker, and recovering alcoholic, three years sober
