BAD DEAL, BAD END
(a what if scenario wherein Ford and Stan are captured by Bill during Weirdmaggedon, and tortured so Bill can get Ford to cough up the equation to free him and his minions. Bill can control space and matter so he can bring the twins back to life as many times as he so desires).
I REALLY! LOVE!!! CLAUDE!!!!!!!
exudes chaotic bisexual disaster vibes, but is actually a really good boy…
the man from nowhere… let’s change the world together
I think my favourite versions of the twins are Mullet!Stan and Paranoid!Ford. There’s just so much going on.
I need an AU where their 10 year reunion lasts several days longer than a few minutes, with heaps of paranoid Ford and pissed off Stan and misunderstandings everywhere. And possibly a fist fight or five :D
beleth, the ashen demon!!!
or: jeralt’s nightmare adventures raising his autistic-spectrum child with impulse control issues lol
(byleth’s special interest is gathering battle statistics :3 it eventually makes them into a really good tactician but, uh, it takes them a long process of trial-and-error to git gud enough to predict the outcome of a battle before fighting it XD)
Grunkle Stan an’ Ford traveling the world by boat, sending snailmail postcards and photos to the kids.
man of many names and faces, consistent only in station: always second in command
My evil Stan AU.
Premise is, basically, Stan falls through the portal instead of Ford and into the Nightmare Dimension. Bill brainwashes/convinces/tortures him into hating Ford (perhaps his own was an asshole?), and Stan “Piraña” Pines becomes an interdimensional hitman and bounty hunter, tracking down the many Portal Fords and either killing them or delivering them back to Bill to be personally tortured to death.
Bill cannot leave the Nightmare Dimension, so he uses Evil Stan as a personal meat puppet and channels his powers through him, damaging his eye (hence the eyepatch) and accelerating the aging of his body. In exchange for this willing possession, though, Stan can also use some of Bill’s powers (shapeshifting black tentacles!!) to survive on strange planets and even the void of space for a short amount of time.
Not all is angst and violence, I promise! There are plenty of incompetent henchman shenanigans. See, unfortunately for our amoral protagonist, he is still identical to Ford so sometimes he gets confused for the very bounty he’s chasing XDD
Author’s Note: Redrawn on May 2020 from a 2013 comic. This is the completed chapter 1 at 24 pages. A mishap with a dying plant’s Last Run reverses Wolfwood’s enhancements, leaving him temporarily deaged.

Sequel to this comic!
(Sorry I ended up not having more Dipper and Mabel talking to the younger Stans, I drew this without a sketch or prepared dialogue – directly to inks with a ‘let’s see where we end up’ attitude XDD it was fun! And now I can draw Dipper and Mabel fairly well, yay!)
