The “REAL” Reason Steve Dosent Have Arms!

This cat has religious trauma! Oops!

Cleo has pretty bad religious trauma, and I wanna explore it a bit more in my art instead of just drawing him being spooky? I realise a lot of my art for The Woes of a Mad Scientist tends to just be vaguely spooky- I wanna actually show people what it’s about before I start properly working on it? Cleo has very bad religious trauma and it affects him a lot, especially his paranoia of being watched. Keep in mind btw I am Christian myself, I am actively aware of how to not make this offensive to be blunt. But yeah, he is very much an atheist, but in bad moments he can panic and pray. He’s trying his best.

Idk follow my Ko-fi I post everything there before i post it anywhere else

I love how when Armand is in love, truly in love, like he is with Daniel, he just becomes manic and feral. Stalking! (lovingly) he stalks him all across the world and is just there in the corner of Daniel's eye. Armand becomes obsessed with kitchen appliances and, because he doesn't feel like he'll be judged, does batshit wild things with them. Cooking rats and roaches and making weird blended concoctions based on color. Armand is like, "Daniel let's call Paris. The phone is fascinating. You are fascinating. Technology is fascinating. I'll pay, don't worry. Call Paris for me, pretty please." Like, is he insane? Yes. But at the same time after seeing his subdued approach to his perfectly manicured life with Louis, it'll be refreshing to see the gremlin completely out to play with Daniel.

Ford "Icarus didn't flap hard enough" Pines

FiddEmmaStan AU where Emma May moved to Gravity Falls around the same time Stan took Ford's identity. She divorces Fiddleford & dumps him on Stan's (newly acquired) porch. While Stan is trying to fix the portal and run the mystery shack, and a recovering Fiddleford builds lots of robots for the mystery shack & does upkeep, Emma is raising Tate & having weekly Wine Nights with Stan (she finds out the truth of him not being Ford & they kinda become best friends about it). Fiddleford & Emma May fall for Stanley separately and accidentally fall back in love with each other along the way (Stan is Tate's favourite parent during the like 3 years this takes). Emma ends up moving into the mystery shack & with no prior science knowledge takes up helping fix the portal & gives some of the tours. Stan is having huge amounts of Bi Panic cause omg he's fallen for Emma May & Fiddleford and their son now calls him Dad (Stan balled his eyes put the first time) but they seem to be working stuff out and he shouldn't get in the way of that??? Anyway Fiddleford and Emma co-seduce Stanley. It works. The relationship is surprisingly healthy. They get Poly Married (it's Gravity Falls) but it's Emma & Fidds both being married to Stanley - when Emma May is annoyed with Fiddleford she describes him as her husband-in-law.

Mabel & Dipper visit Gravity Falls for the summer and are greeted by their Grunkle Stan, Grauntie Emma May, Grunkle Fidds & Cousin Tate

FAE STAN IS SUCH A COOL IDEA!! Ford, not even knowing his brother is a fae creature, going to the fae realm for research purposes or stumbling upon a faerie ring and BAM!! Stan’s there! But he looks?? Wrong? His nose that used to be crooked was straight, his yellowed teeth were bone white, his skin was unblemished, years of acne scars wiped away, and suddenly Ford was staring at a distorted version of his twin. For just a second Ford thinks it’s just a trick, but no fae would react the way Stan did by just seeing him, his perfect skin taking a deathly pale shade at the sight of Ford’s face. His twin, it’s seems, has a lot of explaining to do.

(Cut to Stan trying to trick Ford into making a deal with him, just for funsies.)

Sorry for the ramble, non-human Stan is one of my fav tropes!!

Oh man that's way less angsty than my idea.

In mine he drives off, then gets portaled into the fae realm as a failed changeling, since he didn't make it to 18 with his human family. Spends the next several days whiplash learning about fae stuff, making fae friends and enemies, meeting his equally terrible fae parents, then drives out of the fae realm with a bunch of stolen treasures, confident he can win his place back with his family.

Exits the fae realm in Gravity Falls by crashing into Fords cabin, because the 10 days Stan's been gone equals 10 years in the human realm, and now little fae Stan is here at the height of Ford paranoia, distraught about how much time has passed, and the fact that Ford doesn't believe he's him.

lets hear it for transgenderism and faggotry. can I get a round of applause for transgenderism and faggotry

Sometimes I get an idea but it's half baked and I don't even?? Know what to do with it???

So anyway- Stanley Pines in kids show, explaining science in a way anyone could understand. He doesn't show his face, maybe, but as he passes on tv (maybe Tate loves watching him so Fiddleford puts him on while they work) Stanford recognises his voice.
