Who’s Who: Stanley Edition
The Stanleys
#the real stanley: Stellan Sommers. A real human Stanley who didn’t cooperate with his Narrator, so he was placed into a 3 year coma and used to ‘power’ an illusion Stanley. He was rescued eventually by other employees and now has no ties with Narrators anymore, in fact, he dislikes them greatly
#stanley: Stanley Sommers. An illusion Stanley turned human in some verses / a tulpa in other verses. He is modeled after Stellan, but changed to be a perfect, obedient Stanley, which is why he is nicer, more cheerful and understanding towards Narrators than Stellan.
#backwards!stanley: Bradley (or Brat-ley) Spencer. An alternate Stanley who wasn’t kidnapped by aliens, but forced into an illegal government experiment and suffered greatly. He’s rebellious, flat out refused to do the Story correctly and therefore wasn’t treated very kindly. Eventually he managed to overthrow his Narrator and take his powers.
#deaf!stanley: A Bradley Spencer, but one who had a much easier backstory. He’s deaf and close to being blind due to a condition. He’s generally less depressed and more positive than most of his alternates.
#remote!stellan: An alternate Stellan who disappeared not too long ago. His Narrator is dating a Stanley from another blog.
#plain!stanley: An alternate Stanley Sommers, also from the same dimension as remote!Stellan. He’s pissed that his Narrator doesnt narrate anymore, so he tries to find a Stanley-less one who’ll adopt him as his Protagonist.
Stanley Nero: Younger brother of Alice Nero at @thegrimdarknarrator. He never played the Parable and lives at home with an alternate version of Alice
The Ships:
Steneil: Standard Stellan Sommers met Neil de Grammont at @curiouscompanions. Thanks to Neil he managed to get out of his alcoholism and has gained maturity and knowledges. He also has 'magic’ or ‘Narrator’ powers and his own Office given to him by a friend.
Harellan: An alternate Stellan who doesn’t have his own tag other than this ship tag. He met Harold @obsolete-parable and bonded with him over drinks and bandaging nasty wounds.
Stannison: Standard Stanley Sommers who fell in love with a scientist / architect Frank Maddison @employee425, got engaged and moved to live with him in Maddy’s dimension. He visits occaisonally.
Fradley: Standard Bradley Spencer. Fell in love and married a former employee, Frank Meier ( @employee425 ). They moved out of the Office into their own little home and are preparing for their first child. They never visit the Office due to putting the past behind them, but Bradley keeps in contact with Stellan.
JimStan / JimBrad: A Stanley who fell in love with his coworker the mysterious employee 432 ( @desk-of-employee432 ). They have a parable / post parable verse. There’s also a Bradley who started dating an alternate Jim. They too have a parable & post parable verse
Stanlise / Bradlise: While Bradlise is a crack ship, Stanlise stemmed from two polar opposites bonding and fulfilling needs. Stanleys usually get along well with Marlise ( @employee-210 ) and in some verses, they just grew a little closer to her.
Why do you have so many Stanleys?
I have poor impulse control when it comes to creating new characters + sometimes with memes and plot twists/holes I end up making an alternate dimension. Like Stellan was a plot twist Stanley who just became his own character and spawned in his own alternates who are completely seperate from Stanley Sommers, who was the first Stanley of this blog.
This __ doesnt make sense with this ___!
I have a problem of sometimes overlooking basic flaws and then when it gets pointed out, I quickly create a new idea to put over the first plot hole, which might create another plot hole and then I’m left with trying to stuff holes and make them all link together.
Molly, remote!Stellan, and plain!Stanley are good examples of muses born out of closing plot holes.
