low on spoons and life stuff going on so heres a very fast doodle
I know a lot of ppl talk about Ford’s fucked up sleeping schedule but we are missing out on both of the sea Grunkles having absurd sleeping schedules.
You’re telling me, Stanley Danley Pines, a man who had a day job of performing, watching over the kids, and having the night job of having to figure out complex equations, having to take up mechanics to re build the portal and a tracking device to find where Ford is theoretically in the multiverse would be have the best sleeping schedule?!
Mans probably taking random ass naps during the daytime. Neither of the brother have proper sleep schedules.
Oh you've given me a reason to talk about the Stan twins and sleeping, you're going to regret this
Between the two of them, I am of the controversial opinion that its STAN who doesn't sleep.
Ford knows the value of sleep. He spent however long avoiding sleep as a LIFE OR DEATH type situation (Bill) and THEN spent 30 years in the multiverse in constant danger sleeping only when he could. Ford has had a terrible relationship with sleeping for forever, even when he was a teen, desperate to prove himself, he wasn't sleeping in order to study and read.
Which is WHY, retired Ford? Fucking LOVES to sleep.
Bill is gone. He's on a boat, safe, with his brother by his side and all the food, medical supplies, and resources he could ever need or want, studying anomalies on what is basically a never ending vacation. All this to say, FORD takes naps. He takes naps in bed, at all hours. He takes naps on couches, on chairs, on the desk, sitting upright in kitchen stools, Ford takes naps in the car, no matter what car, whatever. If the place is VAUGLY comfortable and his brother is nearby, Ford is out like a light. The man makes napping an OLYMPIC LEVEL SPORT and he wins it like everything else. The amount of sleep he gets is something to aspire to.
STAN on the other hand. Is the opposite. His sleep was not a constant pull towards factors he could not control, his sleep schedule is as solid as stone and as unending as steel.
It's just TERRIBLE.
Stan runs, fully functional and his ultimate cheery (grumpy) self, on MAXIMUM three hours of sleep a night. 10 years of rigorous sleep schedule to move the car he's sleeping in so he doesn't get his window knocked on by police. Top THAT with 30 years of running the shop during the day, and spending ALL NIGHTS EVERY NIGHT working on the portal, means that Stan's body has given up the fight of demanding more sleep and just thrown in the towel, and Stan gets by with basically nothing
This is, predictably, SUPER GODDAMN UNHEALTHY.
When Ford gets back, Stan sort of. Doesn't know what to do with himself. He's awake, no matter of tossing and turning really matters, he's just. Perfectly fine being alive at 2 in the morning
After the memory gun, Ford is VERY CONCERNED by this behavior, CONVINCED that the not sleeping thing is a side effect. It isn't until Stan gets all his memories back (and after Stan yells at him for hovering) that Ford internalizes that Stan really. Just. Doesn't sleep.
(He learns the reasons for it and has a whole ADDITIONAL guilt spiral on top of the Bill cipher/memory gun one. Stan has to actually wrestle him into the idea that he loves him anyway)
Que Stanford Pines Ultimate Plan to get Stan to sleep more.
Hes a doctor twelve times over, surely this will be easy.
ERR WRONG. Stan is a hard nut to Crack.
Super comfortable bed? No change. Better pillows? Ultra soft blankets? Nope. Weighted blankets? Stan feels too constricted, opposite effect. Darkened bedroom space? Too dark. Nightlight? The blue light makes them BOTH have night terrors. Sleep aids like sleeping pills or dummies? Stan compares them to the drugs the mental institution gave him and Ford hucks them into the ocean.
Stan's BATSHIT sleep schedule is a constant battle Ford has to fight, but by god is he going to win. Eventually.
Am I wrong to think the Mystery Shack is hardly even a scam?? It does its job of entertaining people, who cares if the attractions are fake, have you ever been to a theme park?? And who cares if people are willing to spend on overpriced merchandise? Stan isn’t selling necessities, he’s selling entertainment and can mark it up as he pleases
hey whats up guys @castielrisingabove's tags on this post absolutely obliterated me. so i drew them and now they get to obliterate you too. enjoy
[ID: a Gravity Falls comic of Ford and Stan Pines, with text overlaid. Ford, in Stan's clothes in the Fearamid with a heartbroken frown, is captioned: "something about realizing far too late"
The memory gun reading "Stanley Pines," is captioned: "that you don't have all the time in the world to be angry with him"
Ford in the flashback of A Tale of Two Stans, arguing with Stanley (offscreen), captioned: "you had a decade"
Ford coming out of the portal and throwing a punch, captioned: "you had thirty years"
Ford glaring at Stanley (offscreen) in the Mystery Shack, the same scene he gives Stan his ultimatum. Captioned: "you had so long that you thought you had forever. but you don't. you never did."
Once more in the Fearamid, Ford aiming the memory gun, captioned: "and now you have to look your brother in the eye"
Stan in the flashback of A Tale of Two Stans, in the same argument with (offscreen) Ford, holding Journal 1 and looking devastated, captioned: "the same man who spent a decade"
Stan welcoming Ford back, spreading his arms for a hug he won't receive, captioned: "and thirty years"
Stan in the Mystery Shack, glaring back at his (offscreen) brother, captioned: "and forever wishing he could just be your brother again"
Ford closing his eyes as the memory gun fires, captioned: "and it hits you just how many things you wanted to be with your brother beyond angry — but time's run out."
A black background, captioned: "your brother's gone for good. and you're the one who pulled the trigger." End ID.]
this is so relatable. so many girls these days get the "something's wrong with you, so avoid touching a dead body ever because you may end up wanting to nibble on it" talk.
Season 4 of Once Upon A Time is weird.
I Will be fighting the writers of the first half of season 4 in the Tesco's carpark at midnight. WTF were they thinking???? Bo Peep is a slave owning war mongerer????? Who BRANDS people?? ELSA????????? With Frozen accurate backstory???? Ingrid was okay but they DIDN'T NEED ELSA FIR THAT STORY TO WORK! It probably would've worked better without Elsa - and I dont dislike OUAT Elsa, but she didnt need to be there and it probably would've improved the season if she wasn't there.
Tho the queer villain throuple of Cruella, Ursula & Maleficent is very fun. And make the second half of season 4 a lot better than the first.
I have pretty mixed feelings about the author tho, like hes interesting in concept, and the execution isn't the worse, but it could be better.
Regina is perfect as always (I love her) (too much) (shes so pretty) (I'd let the evil queen kill me) (I wanna raise Henry with her and be her wife) (I cant tho) (so Emma & Regina should kiss) (but I do actually like Robin)
Robert Carlyle is amazing as Mr Gold and Rumple still.
I kinda hate Snow this season, she stole Maleficent's baby, cursed the baby & only regretted it upon realising it was human, hides things from Emma, shames Emma for her magic & considers letting Emma get rid of it, and more.
Just thinking about how like, when I was a teenager, the gayest show we had was Merlin, which was somehow super gay and also incredibly homophobic.
But now y’all teens have your pick of queer characters. Soft gay teenagers? Check. Gay royalty? Check. Gay pirates? Check. Gay vampires? Check. Gay angels and demons? Check.
It’s a damn LGBT smorgasbord out there.
An important PSA to remember!
