A mother and her little free spirit

I'd like to imagine a world where, while Fidds is helping Stan get Ford back from the portal, he mentions faking his death and how only his ma and one FBI agent showed up to his funeral.

“…so, long story short, never let me plan a funeral!”

“Ha! Lord, I can’t imagine the look on your mothers face when ya told her the whole thing was fake. I reckon she gave you an earful!”

“Wha? Oh, uh. Yea.” Stan turns away, not meeting Fidds eyes.

“…Stan.”

“…”

“Stanley Pines, do not tell me your Ma is still out there thinking you’re 6 feet under.”

“…well, I won’t tell you if you want-“

“STANLEY- ”

And then mama pines gets reunited with stan through the power of Fiddleford and works at the mystery shack giving Totally Legit Fortune Readings ™

I think one of the most tragic things is Caryn Pines and motherhood.

Like when we see her, it's quite obvious that she loves her sons. And that like many families, has a soft spot for Stanley. Because he's the possible baby of the family, her little surprise, her free spirit. Out of everyone other than Ford, Caryn was someone who loved Stanley. And who was in his corner. An example of this was when her husband and Ford were excited about the school and she immediately cut in to ask-

"What about Stanley?"

Just from that little bit we can see that she loves him. That she's always thinking of her son. So imagine you're her, and then you lose your son because your husband kicked him out. A teenager who can't face the world yet, and yet you're powerless to do anything. So you have to wait for your boy to reach out to you, and every day you wonder if he's somewhere safe. If he's someplace warm, and if he's eating a hot meal and sleeping in a warm bed. And for awhile that gives you some sort of comfort, because your baby's still out there somewhere. Not with you, but still in this world.

And then you hear about it.

The firey car crash.

And the person in that inferno was your son. Your free spirit, your baby.

Can you imagine, how devastating that'd be? To learn that your son is dead, and had died alone and in pain and fear. And the kicker?

There wasn't even a funeral held for him.

It's almost as if Stanley never existed. Like he was never important. And that probably ate at Caryn Pines in ways that cut deeply. Because Stanley was important to her, was important to Stanford and now he's gone and she didn't even get to say goodbye to her boy. She'll forever have a hole in her heart, a piece missing because her Stanley is gone. And she'll never be able to fill it because no one can replace her baby. And we don't know if Caryn's still alive or not, so there's the horrifying possibility. That she died believing that Stan was dead. That she died in her grief that only a mother can feel. That she died, unaware that the boy she grieved for was next to her the entire time. Forced to pretend to be his brother, in order to save him from his own creation and fix mistakes that he believes he made that hurt Ford.

So close to her son, yet so far away.

A tragedy.

An Unexpected Phone Call pt 2 (pt 1)

Shifty has no idea how phones work. He’s gonna be really surprised when he meets Grandma Caryn and realizes she’s not one.

Stanford, buddy… I recommend running now.

The Hunt - Part 3

First | Prev | Next

Woo! I'm free!

We're finally done with everything that will happen before the actual hunting trip, we're now going onto the juicy stuff hehe!

I've been loving seeing everyone's theories and reactions to this comic. It means so much that y'all are enjoying this silly little idea that I thought and also my first long form comic. I can only hope you guys continue to read and enjoy where I'm going with this story.

As you can probably see, I changed the formatting and shading style for the comic. The previous one was making me feel really burnt out, and I also wanted to challenge myself a bit by using a more traditional comic format. I hope it's not too jarring. I am more happy with a lot of these pages than I was with the last parts. I see like some of the drawings for those, but percentage wise I am more happy with the results of this part.

(Could also be just because these are more recent but who knows)

As routine, I will be taking the next bit off to rest and plan the next part. See y'all soon:))

Uh oh Fordsie, your parents are acting awfully strange… The second installment of the 3 Buck Stan AU and our six fingered munchkin comes into play. Wonder what will come of that lol… I have a good idea on what will come next in this series/au, although I’ll likely be slow to post due to procrastinating- yk how it is lol. But yeah… next segment will probably get back to Stan and Mx Lottie’s nonsense as we finally get into the swing of things. It’s gonna be great, trust.

Gravity Falls mini-comic idea

*Stan twins before sailing the world locate where Caryn (their mom) is to go visit her. To surprise her with lots of love that both of her kids are still alive. When they step in, Caryn embraces them and doesn't ask any questions. To which, Stanley goes:* "Uh, Ma, aren't you happy that I'm not dead?" And Caryn goes: "Oh, I already knew that." Collective "WHAT?!" and then just: "A mother always knows."

Separation at Birth- Ford

(Not the best sketches but oh well) imma go a bit more into depth, but ever since Ford could remember his father had been constantly complimenting his fingers saying they were a gift and something to be proud of. Ford, being a child obviously thought his father was being genuine, but in reality he was being manipulated.

Filbrick wanted to use Stanford as some sort of freakish attraction because of his six fingers, the whole reason he kept him and not “the normal” one aka Stanley. One day he stumbled upon this man who was selling amulets, ciphertology amulets, with abilities to see into the mind of others and take peeks into their possible futures, so of course he took one in hopes of finally making something with Ford.

Thus starting the Psycic Sixir, the kid who sees it all. Many paid 2 dollars an hour just to talk to the kid, not to mention they could sell merchandise like the Silixir, the magical potion meant to strengthen your brain, also known as watered down apple juice. Caryn wasn’t too keen on the idea but she didn’t argue. Until it started taking a toll on Ford, causing his hair to become white, exhausting him to the point where he would sleep almost all day, not to mention his growth was impacted and he was even malnourished despite eating all the time. It caused a lot of arguments between Fords parents.

Eventually he was allowed more breaks which was mostly him sleeping, reading, or walking around the beach, which lead him to an old rotting ship at 14, who he called The Grand Escape. He loved working on her thinking about how one day he might be able to escape his father and the name they had created for himself. Unfortunately at 15 he fell so ill that he had to be on a year long break , unable to really do anything he dove into his studies.

He finally started gaining weight, his height finally started increasing, he slept less ad overall he felt better. Of course his hair had to keep a few strands of white and he had to use a cane to walk long distances but overall he was feeling way better. Too bad he couldn’t say the same about the ship. She was falling apart and any hope of sailing away was slowly getting away, so he decided that college was his best next choice.

One promise to come back and a whole lot of studied and building finally landed him in west tech, a prestigious enough university that he could convince filbrick was worth stoping this whole Psychic Sixir and far enough from Jersey to finally be him.

I’ll add better sketches later, and Stanley’s part later but anyways hope yall enjoyed
