I know I know I know a lot of us old gaurd hate Stargaze. I know! I’m aware! I get it! Yall are valid!…. But I’ve actually been having a great time yall I’m so sorry! 😂
Stampede was definitely better and, as a Milly lover, I’d’ve appreciated more time with my precious bean; But- like- I accepted when Stargaze was announced to have changed from Kenji Muto over to Masaka Sato that the priorities had changed. And I have genuinely been having a blast watching just how drastically different it is every episode lol. It reminds me a lot of how I felt while watching FMA 2003 for the first time. It’s like tmnt, the iterations rhyme but are still DRASTICALLY different.
I’m probably calling into the void here about this since people are Very upset right now lol. I’m really not on yalls wave length am I? 😆
was reading Fords pov of payphone birthday and I noticed that he said he hopes it wasn’t a being that targets a specific person? You have also made several comments on asks about Stan’s emotions…being less volatile as a result from the gloop
is the monster gonna come back and gets him as it is already attracted to incredibly depressed and sad dudes?
Listen. Its taking every fiber of my being not to expand Pay Phone Birthday Blues into a multi fic where they all go on a road trip to get Stan's car, while Stan's still suffering under the effects of almost being eaten, and also getting hunted down by the Entity so it can finish its meal.
I'm just. Really envisioning a specific scene. Like, halfway to Stan's car or back he sort of wanders off by himself, not paying attention or he gets separated or something, and its not that dark, but he's freaking out a little and, well.
There's a pay phone right down the street. He'll just call the motel they were staying at, hope one of the Fords is there to answer, and sit tight until they get him. If not he can just figure something out, no biggie.
Gets some loose change from his pocket, and man, its a little hot, huh? Thats the thing about deserts though, they don't cool until the suns down, but its fine. The motel has ac, and so does the car. No biggie. Puts the change into the pay phone, picks up the phone, dials the number and-
All at once every defensive ward and spell Fords saddled Stan with goes off, and the world goes pitch black. The heat is way more intense, and he can see shadows wiggling over the barrier that popped into existence around him when the world disappeared.
He just got eaten. Again.
Except it can't dig in and finish its meal, because Stan's got more wards on his person than anything ever, and it can't break through to get at him. Stan's standing in its pocket dimension stomach, clutching the pay phone and listening as it breathes and whispers around him, not trying to hide what it is now that they both know whats happening here.
But he's got the pay phone, and so he makes a frantic call to the motel and leaves an almost incomprehensible message with the clerk for Ford before the line goes dead mid call
The phone's part of the entity after all, and it's not going to let him call for help again.
So now they're both just. There. Stan's in its stomach, not digesting because Ford's wards are keeping it at bay, but its not really comforting because he is still in its stomach. Its very hot, very dark, not dead silent anymore, as he can hear it whispering creepily and also its stomach gurgling.
Its terrifying. The darkness is wiggling like hands, teeth, claws, and also maybe a stomach. Hard to say with the shimmery barrier in the way and Stan huddling down, clutching his knees in terror.
Since Fords closer he can track Stan down (freaking out, because half the trackers he stuck on Stan aren't working, which means-), figure out where the two dimensions are closest, and use magic to physically pull Stan out again. Or something. Details are blurry there, but Ford saves the day here.
Then the pay phone follows them. Now that Stan's aware of it, he realizes it the same pay phone, innocently sitting in places pay phones would be, and no one but him can see it. Its a lure, trying to get Stan to use it so the Entity can pounce.
BUT! I already have Princess Stan, Doppeldead, Venus Vampire Trap, and my cat Stan's i'm working on. Not to mention Dragon Ford and related shorts. I've got too many ideas and not enough time! Its physically killing me! My brains bursting all the time!
I've been feeling very artistically paralyzed (due to stress) so all I have to share are some traditional scribbles of my slugcats-
The Listener, the one with funky ears, was adopted, the one with 6 limbs is new though! I'm still working on them, but the idea is quite basic; am extra set of limbs at the front, equipped with big claws. No idea how to call them tho-
I might digitalize the sleeping sketches if I make it before my internship begins ;w; (Monday)
