Stanley has an important role in the grand scheme of things, specifically saving the universe. His role is so crucial that if anything were to happen to him it could lead to not only the destruction of his universe, but also lead the destruction of others. So what would happen if Ford had lost Stanley somewhere during the ten years they spent apart, only for Ford to be met face to face with the time police and what appears to be 2 years old Stanley.
His ears feel muffled as he’s handed the toddler.
Death by asphyxiation
Trunk of the car
Far too late
Paradox
The child’s timeline was already gone
The fate of the universe
His hands
The baby coos in his arms babbling as he grabs Ford’s pinky.
POV: You startle some random kid in the store on accident and are met with his threatening grandpa, holy shit is that a gun- (That is not his grandpa. But you don't know that. What are you, a cop?)
Some kind of anatomy/basic practice to get myself more into the groove of drawing stuff for my GF AUs and fics and whatever.
This particular scene is something from my AU with Ford having to take care of a deaged Stan, having to find a way to revert him, as well as take care of a heavily traumatized child. He comes to a lot of revelations about his childhood with Stan, and his own relationship with his parents before he fell into the portal.
All in all, just an excuse to make Ford the dad he never had, and to become the dad Stan never had. I just love seeing them be parents. (Not even just a parent, just taking care of their sibling. The platonic love fuels me.)

Art tidbits below the cut!
The shirt is pink because it is actually one of Ford's shirts! He hasn't had the chance to get properly fitting clothes until this very moment, so kiddo Stan runs around in Ford's much too large clothes. The shirt was originally white, with little grey fish, but Ford accidentally mixed his laundry with one of his Mabel sweaters. Oops. (Idk if yarn bleeds like that. I don't really mind the inaccuracy if it doesn't LOL)
As for the shoes? Eh I dunno. He found them. Or something. I honestly didn't think that far.
There are many smalls scars and old nicks on Ford's fingers from his many years of countless tinkering. As well as old scars on his arms. I didn't draw his knuckle scars from TBoB because I.. forgot tbh. I dunno if I'll add them to Ford ever tbh.
Kiddo Stan has blue eyes! I fought between different shades, then brown, then just forwent the iris entirely, until I just shrugged it all off and gave him colored eyes despite sticking somewhat to the GF style.
Kiddo Stan is not only pressing himself to Ford's leg, as well as gripping his jeans, but Ford is pushing him to his leg, ready to protect him from whatever has startled the child. Ford dropped their shopping to not only grab Stan, but to bring a hand to his hidden gun. (can it realistically fit into his pocket? Idk I didn't really care about that accuracy either.)
I put all the plant monster reader stories together, if they don’t work let me know. You do not need to read all of them to understand. They can be read as one shots or a series.
Basically plant monster is Audrey Two/ Twoey. Reference to little shops of horror in a few. The gender of reader isn’t important so I used it/they/she/he if you want I can rewrite it to have reader be one gender.
Headcanon longer one that includes Dad Ford, Uncle Stan, Soos, Exdad Bill, Mabel, and Dipper
Full Story 2 in 1 Mabel and Dipper are babysitting you and Mabel is asking questions. Second one is (Tw) spitting food out, and throwing up, just says you did it. Not described. With Soos, Dipper, Ford, Mabel.
Your relationship with Stan it’s set before and after the portal. Ford^2 and BillFord mentioned. Basically Stan taking care of you while working on the portal and making the mystery shack.
The first headcanon I’ll redo this because I’m not too sure about the whole thing. Just me yappin basically. I’ll make a better version explaining the past.
If you want to be tagged let me know I’ll tag you in future ones. Request are open! Reader won’t have a love interest in this series.
Info-
So reader is from space, just like Twoey. Reader’s goal was to take over the world but has calmed down and doesn’t really care about it. Reader is basically Ford’s kid. I think I might write something that talks more about the younger years of you two.
Ford found you while walking around town. It’s implied it’s Seymour who had you. Not sure if I’ll make it him but flower shop was throwing you out and Ford bought you.
Reader can’t grow unless fed enough. So it’s not like you get fed once and grow. The amount of food around you is how big you’ll get. If there’s not enough food you’ll get smaller to prevent dying from hunger. If there’s enough you grow and get bigger until you ‘flower’ and are able to reproduce asexually. But you won’t get that big so it’s not important.
Ford makes sure you’re on a diet so you can’t get that size. You’re feed artificial blood rather than real blood. You can’t eat human food.
You are able to change colors (look dead) like Twoey does. You typically use it for manipulation but can be used as how you actually feel.
I haven’t really picked if Twoey existed and you’re their offspring or if you just are alone. I have Bill call you Twoey but I wrote you don’t know why.
Reader is currently this big (unless said differently) 2nd Form/pod 2 so, small enough to still carry around but not a baby. I couldn’t find a good picture, what is that face? 😭
I have tons of little ideas, drafts, and semi-written stuff lying around. And I thought I'd share some of them to drum up some interest, give myself some motivation, and just.. share these ideas. I want to share them all sooo bad, but they're not written.. yet.
AU ideas and synopsis under the cut! Gladly taking any name suggestions, since some are un-named LOL. Some of these fic ideas may sound familiar, and its because some GF fics out there have the same idea. These ideas are totally inspired by them! I just need to find their title and authors.
West of the Falls: Stan is deemed an outlaw to be killed on sight after he accidentally ruins his brother's chance to become a renown priest, after their father. He returns for his revenge, and his brother. (Inspired by "Hell's Coming With Me" by Poor Man's Poison.)
idk wtf to name this one: While fulfilling their lifelong dream, the Stan bros find themselves in a situation, where Stan becomes deaged. Now Ford must find a way to revert Stan back to his proper age, as well as navigating and sailing by himself, and navigating temporary parenthood. (Timestuck AU type shenanigans. Dad!Ford flavored. I'll gladly take any name ideas LOL)
Idk what to name this one either: Classic Stan bros adventures gone wrong! A shadow from Stan's past has come for them both, and they will have to use every trick in the book they know to escape alive. They might not make it out in one piece, however...
No fucking name mcgee: General fic where the Old Men are learning to be brothers again through various adventures and shit that happens to them. Rebuilding their bond, and learning to heal through their experiences. (Will include lots of hurt/comfort, stangst, and of course, platonic affection, caretaking, and platonic cuddling. Gotta have that in there.)
A divergence of the kid-Stan AU: Ford finds himself the last place he ever wanted to be again: Stranded in the multiverse. However, this time, there's a lot more at stake. Can he outwit and escape not only the multiverse, but the bounty hunters hot on his trail? Not to mention, keeping him, and his newly minted Little brother out alive.
One Big Happy Family: Dipper and Mabel's parents are falling apart at the seams, leaving both kids to fend for themselves as they're abandoned after the divorce. Thankfully, they have another family that will take them in, lead by two great uncles, a hairless gopher man, an ex-insane mechanic, and a lumberjack teenager.
You must never break the chain: Ford assumes the worst of Stanley when he returns. Really, what man with any self-respect wears a gaudy fake gold chain everywhere? However, Ford soon realizes that there's more to it than he'd thought.
Never written comfortober prompt of "Treasure": Stan is all too happy to let the kids go gallivanting with Ford in the woods. What he never expected was to be left with Dipper for the day, the two finding their own special treasure
I'm Back In The Fucking Building AGAIN: (Title pending) The Stan bros become stranded in the multiverse while sailing. This time, they're together. Attempting to find their way back home, they encounter a familiar face... (OR, Sea Grunkles enter the multiverse, and come across a Ford that hasn't made it home yet. Interesting conflict between a Ford that still misses his Stanley, but uses his anger as a shield, and a Sea Grunk Ford that's hugely protective of Stan. What could go wrong?)
Evil Ford AU Or Doomsday AU(Title pending.): A divergence of the usual Sea grunks adventures. A Ford has come across literal time and space just to hunt down 46'- Stanley. His main goal is unknown, but it ends up with Stanley's death. Unless 46'- Ford can prevent it.
Cipher revival cult: Ford's brother has gone missing, and Ford is set upon a warpath of rage, revenge, and protection. Stan is simply trying to stay alive, while preventing his very blood from falling into the wrong hands. OR: (A cult of people need Stan's blood as a sacrifice to revive Bill.)
kind of a/b/o or feral AU: where Ford is a dad he somehow gains access to a dimension where Stan was an only child and he was being horribly neglected and abused, so Ford just adopts him this would fix the possible timeline issue if I ever write Stan reuniting with that Ford. OR: (PLATONIC A/B/O Dad!Ford with his newly adopted pup, Stanley.)
Till I'm Naught But Skull and Bone: Stan disappeared after the entire science fair fiasco. Not that Ford cares! But when Ford ends up stranded in the ocean at the mercy of a pirate ship, he never expected to see a familiar face heading the crew. OR: (Ford goes on as canon, but the portal incident doesn't happen. Instead, he ends up on his brother's pirate ship, both learning to live together again. Inspired by "Skull and Bones" by Home Free)
