Firefloofy:that's alright! Sorry if I sound so worried. I escaped from my wasteland of a dimension..I'm a protogen unfortunately. I used to be like you actually! It's nice to see a dimension that still has life on it-
*she says with a happy emote*
*she comes through a portal and accidentally bumps into ford*
Firefloofy:ugh! Dammit!..
*she looks up*
Oh crap! I'm so sorry! Wait are you human? What dimension am I in?!
*she says, worried looking around*
*he clicks a pen and looks from her to his notebook*
Greetings! I'm Stanford Pines, I do in fact happen to be human! As for which dimension this is.. I wasn't aware they had names so I'm quite unsure. Perhaps Since I'm opening up interdimensional travel I'll be permitted to name it!
What exactly are you? How did you get here?
Uri:*she smiles after Ford gives his advice on how her fire power*
W-wow..no one has ever said that to me before. Hmm..Maybe I'll try to practice so I won't heat up the room when I get nervous! I thank you for your kind words human!
*she says, laughing a little. When she laughs, sparks of fire and smoke come out.*
Oo! Another human! Hello! I'm uri! I'm a flareon! Do you wanna trade? I have a Firestone! Tons of them, actually! Would you be open to trading it for some strawberries?
*she says in excitement*
Hello! It is wonderful to meet you, Uri. I can't say I've heard of such a species, but, judging from this question, I'm sure you're all absolutely wonderful.
I would love to trade with you. I can't say the strawberries I have on hand will be top tier—seeing as they are store-bought—but I am happy to oblige. One moment...
[The scientist pulls out one (1) square, clear package of store-bought strawberries and holds it out to her with a polite, curious smile.]
Do not tell Stanley. I'm not sure he'd like me ransacking the fridge for trades, but this "Firestone" peaks my interest too greatly to not raid our home supplies for.
Uh Pokemon au? I drew ford as a lycanroc because yes. Might draw stan later
Stargleam:nice!! Ooo I can't wait to show you my home!!..if I ever get back that is..
*she says thinking*
Now to think about it I have no idea how I got here..oh well!
*she says turning back to Ford*
*a young bat pony flies towards him* oh my gosh!! Are you a human? I've only seen humans in myths! Do you guys really have hands? I gotta write this down!!
*she says asking too many questions excitingly*
There isn't much that surprises Ford, but the sudden appearance of a talking pony certainly made the older man raise his eyebrows. He had seen creatures like this before, but it wasn't in reality, rather one of Mabel's favorite cartoons.
"Oh! Well, yes! I do in fact have hands!" He can't help but chuckle, and raises his hands to illustrate the point.
Uri:*she holds her paw out to shake his hand*
I come from the Aloha region! Except of human, it's full of pokemon! I'm a flareon..
*she notices his hands*
Oh, you have six fingers! that's neat! It's pretty rare for pokemon to be born with them where I come from!
*she says, examining his hand*
*A flareon comes up to him appearing from a purple portal*
Hmmm.. interesting! Humans do exist in different universes! Hello there, human! My name is Uri! It's nice to meet you!
"Greetings Uri, what dimension have you come from?" Stanford holds out his hand "my name is Stanford Pines it's a pleasure"
You know what since nobody can decide fords eye color it's going to be rainbow- also have this art I drew of lycanroc! Ford because I can't draw humans lol
Uri: I know seeing a video game character is crazy! Who knew a pokemon like me could exist in another reality? I'm uri btw!
*she says, extending her paw out for a handshake*
*a flareon pops out of nowhere*
Uri: Wow, a universe where stan and Ford aren't baby boomers? Dang, you are one of the lucky ones! Believe me, I met many Stan and Fords! Anyways, how's life going for yall?
*Stan and Ford stood frozen, staring at the bright colorful creature in front of them. Its voice— clear, articulate, and entirely unexpected— hung in the air like an impossible riddle. Each twin reacted in their own way, though both were clearly struggling to process what was happening.*
"Woah… you can talk?"
*Stan took a step back, his hand reflexively moving to rub the back of his neck. His brows shot up, and his tone was a mix of shock and awe. He blinked a few times, half-expecting the Flareon to vanish into thin air. It didn’t.*
"Who are you? Actually, what are you?"
*Ford stepped closer, his curiosity outweighing his surprise. He adjusted his glasses, squinting slightly as if trying to make sense of the scene before him. His tone was calm, analytical, the excitement of encountering something new bubbling just under the surface.*
*Stan glanced at his brother, noticing that Ford was already falling into scientist mode, completely ignoring the initial question. Realizing he’d have to handle the social side of things, Stan sighed and turned back to the Flareon.*
"Well, uh… we’re doin’ just peachy. For the most part anyway."
*Stan’s tone was casual but still tinged with disbelief, his attempt at politeness barely masking the fact that he was still reeling. He gave the Flareon a slight, awkward nod, as if that would somehow make the situation feel more normal.*
Don't worry your not the only lmao all I Can think about is the to be continued meme when I see this-
Best fucking screenshot from Tale of Two Stans 😭🤚
So much hope in his eyes, and then just a fucking fist-
A little thing me and my friend came up with lol. I came up with the idea and they made it :] (art is not mine)
#who gave you permission to hurt me in such ways? #ahhhhh #does stan and ford ever figure out what happened to their brothers? #is portal!Stans ford a ghost or something? #what happened to a better world! Fords stan? #this au is great TwT (pos)
OKAY!!! since people seem interested in the blood brothers au i will explain the premise. if i say something dumb sounding it's because i'm tired as hell. also putting everything under the cut bc it's kinda long
(tw: suicide mentions + suicide ideation)
basically, the blood brothers au combines the parallel universe mentioned in journal 3 with the portal stan au, except it gets a bit. Dark
in the parallel universe, instead of fighting ford and pushing him into the portal, stan agrees to hide the journal somewhere far away and is never heard from again. his fate is entirely unknown to ford, who assumes the worst (and is correct to do so).
as described in j3, ford becomes world-famous and starts his institute of oddology in gravity falls. on the surface, he's a cheery man, always eager to help others, cordial towards everyone no matter what. he has everything he ever wanted in life! but ever since he lost stan, he can't bring himself to enjoy it, let alone believe he deserves it.
in the main universe, ford accidentally pushes stan into the portal and weeks later is driven to suicide by bill, who takes over gravity falls soon after.
stan keeps himself going for the next 30 years by thinking about his brother. one day he'll return and they'll reconcile, and they'll never be alone again. maybe if he's lucky they'll fulfill their childhood dream of sailing the seven seas together. in the meanwhile, stan hides these tender feelings under a tough exterior- as much as he misses ford, he can't afford to have a moment of weakness or slip up, especially with his status as a multidimensional criminal. and after 3 decades of biding his time, when he sees an opportunity to return to what seems like his universe, he takes it.
parallel ford sometimes spends his nights in the basement, sitting in front of an activated portal. he stares into its depths and thinks about what would happen if he entered it right now. he could die a thousand awful deaths. he could find a world where stan is still around. of course, he wouldn't dare, not with an entire institute to run and children in his care, but it doesn't hurt to indulge in those thoughts.
one night, the alarms on the nearby machinery begin to go off. it's late at night, and ford is at a low point. for all he cares, the portal could blow up and take him with it. he doesn't budge
what he doesn't expect is for his very own "brother" to emerge from the portal soon after, looking positively furious.
For some reason, I had a sudden urge to draw a screenshot of dipper and Ford from the show, and this is the result. Also, sorry if the background looks a bit messy. I'm not that good at drawing backgrounds as of yet-
