THE CHILDREN YEARN FOR THE MINES
yâall justâ thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twinsâ Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesnât smoke once in the showâ has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kidsâ doesnât swear when theyâre around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effortâ Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrupâ learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it rightâ buying new sheets, new mattressesâ avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Fordâ looking at the attic room he made wondering âis this enough will they like meââ trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesnât betray the fact that he was there hours earlyâ watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beachesâ then the first night theyâre there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.

A family game
a long list of regrets
why did you do it?
[Image description: art of Bill Cipher. He's floating in a dark void, illuminated by blue light from the bottom upwards, staring forward with his eye wide, and with his limbs hanging limp. Behind him is a white panel shattering into pieces, showing a red and a blue triangle holding hands. A smaller triangle between them has been punched out of the panel. On the very bottom of the canvas blue flames produce light and white squares simulating a "pixel glitch" effect, on the opposite end, there are white dots adorning the void, gradually disappearing downwards, simulating stars.

original ID by @anistarrose thank you!
Okay, but hear me out -- what if his parents weren't usually red and blue?
