Itās not even the timeline that screws me up over shermie.
Yes, the timelines wack but Iāve seen enough timeline inconsistencies that at this point Iām just āwhateverā about most of them.
What always gets me is the emphasis on family but yet we see NOTHING from shermie.
Like yeah he was a baby when the Stan Twins were teens so thereās a huge age gap there
But all these reasons and I still canāt get over howā¦ offputting it is to have shermie existent but completely separate from everything like he is.
I guess itās just that extra detail that Stan and shermie were both there for the star twins birth and justā¦ how did that never go anywhere at all? WHY did Stan drive to California to be there for the star twinsā birth? Because they would be babies? Why go all the way out to see his brand new grand niblings, butā¦ never seemingly have much of a relationship with his own brother????
Like again Iām sure thereās reasons and it could be Stan and shermie DID talk, BUT we get exactly 0 insight into any of that in the show. Justā¦ anything.
Iām not saying I wanted Stan to talk about shermie. I just would have really liked a throwaway line that could have indicated some level of their relationship.
Does shermie call? Is that how Stan knew about the star twins birth? What about shermieās childās likely wedding? Did Stan go to that? What about when shermieās CHILD was born???
Itās just so nebulous a relationship which wouldnāt bother me so much if they werenāt brothers with Stanās general heart for family + Stan seems to have made himself a loner but to what extent has he been interacting with shermie/the family and at THAT if heās been interacting with them shouldnāt he have picked up pretty close with them after 30 years??
Like granted dipper and Mabel are cute and great, and he spent a lot of time with them over the summer, but still It just seems like Stan lacks any relationship with his family despite the 30 years where heās had to have some connection to them and it just doesnāt click into place for me because of how he gets into family stuff with the star twins
And yeah theyāre kids and itās probably the first time heās spent over a week straight with any of his family during this time, but this still keeps me up sometimes
Are there some good reasons? Yes. But it still justā¦ feels like these pieces donāt fit quite right and I canāt get over it just because of Stanās connection/attachments to family we see
