This lovely piece was inspired by this song:
The first hit shattered something.
Zeke wasnāt sure if it was bone or resolve.
The bat connected with Campelterās ribs, sending a shockwave through Zekeās arms. The crack was sickening, a sharp, wet sound that mingled with the boyās scream.
Campelter collapsed onto the dock, curling in on himself. His breath came in ragged gasps. āZekeāw-waitāā
Another swing.
This time, it caught his knee. Something popped.
Campelter wailed, clutching his leg, writhing on the wooden planks.
Zeke stood over him, bat gripped tight, chest heaving.
This should feel wrong.
He should be shaking, throwing up, panicking.
But he wasnāt.
He was calm. Steady.
And hungry.
The familiar ache twisted in his gut, gnawing at his insides, demanding more. He swallowed hard, his tongue darting over his lips.
Campelter coughed, blood dribbling from his mouth. His good hand reached out, weak and trembling. āP-pleaseā¦ā
Zeke tilted his head.
He should stop.
He could still walk away.
But then he thought of Stan and Fordāhow Campelter had tormented them, laughed at them, humiliated them.
And suddenly, the decision wasnāt hard anymore.
Zeke dropped the bat and straddled Campelterās chest, pinning him down. The other boy squirmed weakly beneath him, his strength draining fast.
Zekeās breath came slow and deliberate. He leaned in close, his lips brushing against Campelterās ear. āYou smell delicious.ā
Then he sank his teeth in.
The taste exploded in his mouthācopper, salt, warmth. The skin split beneath his teeth, muscle tearing as he bit down harder. Campelterās body jerked violently, his muffled screams ripping through the night.
Zeke didnāt stop.
Couldnāt stop.
He ripped away the first mouthful, blood coating his tongue, thicker than anything heād ever eaten before.
It was intoxicating.
Campelterās screams weakened into gasping whimpers. Zeke barely heard him. His heartbeat pounded in his ears, drowning out everything except the wet, sticky sounds of chewing.
His fingers dug into Campelterās flesh, prying open the wound, sinking his teeth into raw muscle, devouring.
Bite after bite.
It was better than food.
Better than anything.
The hunger that had tormented him his whole life, the emptiness in his gutāit was gone.
And for the first time, Zeke felt whole.
The night stretched on, the waves lapping softly against the shore. The wooden dock was painted red, but Zeke didnāt notice.
He sat cross-legged beside what was left.
Which wasnāt much.
Flesh, muscle, organsāall gone.
Picked clean.
His hands were drenched in blood, sticky and drying, his face smeared crimson. His stomach was full, warm, satisfied.
All that remained of Campelter were bones.
Zeke wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, exhaling slowly.
He stared down at the remains, waiting for guilt to settle in.
Nothing came.
No regret. No horror.
Only the quiet, absolute certainty that this had been worth it.
Campelter had been a bully.
He made Stan and Ford cry.
He hurt people.
No one would notice when he was gone.
Zeke got to his feet, stretching. He glanced down at the bones, tilting his head. He could leave them, let the ocean take them.
But no.
He didnāt like leaving things unfinished.
One by one, he gathered them up, taking his time. The dock was surrounded by tall, wild grass, the kind that no one ever bothered to clear. Zeke buried the bones there, deep in the sand, hidden beneath tangled roots.
It felt right.
Like cleaning up after a good meal.
Weeks go by the summer sun hung high over Glass Shard Beach, casting golden light over the waves. The air smelled of salt and motor oil, the usual scent of work and freedom.
Zeke walked alongside Stan and Ford, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his hoodie. The three of them were heading toward the shore, where the half-built Stan-O-War sat waiting for its daily dose of fixing, hammering, and general goofing off.
āOkay, hear me out,ā Stan said, kicking a loose rock down the sidewalk. āWe steal one of Maās pies, but we take it before it cools down so she wonāt notice itās missing until, like⦠way later.ā
Ford pushed his glasses up. āThatās the dumbest plan Iāve ever heard.ā
āYeah, because itās foolproof!ā
Ford sighed, shaking his head, and Zeke chuckled softly.
Just a normal day.
But thenā
Stan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Ford followed suit, and Zeke nearly bumped into them.
āWhat theā?ā Zeke started, but then he saw what they were looking at.
A poster.
Taped to a telephone pole, the edges curling from the breeze.
MISSING: CAMPBELL āCAMPELTERā HAYNES.
LAST SEEN AT GLASS SHARD BEACH.
A washed-out photo of his face stared back at them, smiling wide like he hadnāt screamed and begged for his life just weeks ago.
Zekeās stomach twistedānot in fear, but in satisfaction.
It was almost funny.
Nothing left but bones, buried deep beneath the sand. No one would ever find him.
āWhoa,ā Stan muttered, stepping closer. āSo, waitāCampelterās just⦠gone?ā
Ford frowned. āLooks like it. His parents mustāve put these up.ā
āYeah, well, good riddance.ā Stan crossed his arms. āThat guy was a jerk. Maybe he ran away or something.ā
Ford, ever the cautious one, didnāt look so convinced. āI donāt know⦠He was a bully, but this is weird. People donāt just vanish.ā
Zeke felt Fordās gaze shift toward him, and for a split second, his stomach tightened.
Ford had a way of noticing things.
But Zeke just shrugged, keeping his face neutral. āGuess we wonāt have to deal with him anymore.ā
Stan snorted. āYeah, no complaints here.ā
Ford hesitated, then slowly nodded. āI suppose.ā
And just like that, the moment passed.
Zeke let out a slow, careful breath, glancing at the poster one last time.
No one will ever know.
The three of them continued walking toward the Stan-O-War, the conversation already shifting to something else.
Stan was laughing.
Ford was rambling about an idea for an engine upgrade.
And Zeke?
Zeke was still hungry.

The fourteen year old would smile as he puts his hands in his pockets out of reflex āRemarkable? Gosh I have never heard that before. Oh my name is Asher by the way but you can call me Ash!ā He seemed rather excited to finally meet someone who doesnāt see him as a freak or know him for being girl maybe this could be a fresh start for him finally make a friend āOh uh sorry I uh I didnāt catch your name guess I was too excited.ā he would nervously rub the back of his neck giving a sheepish smile
(Thats if you want to keep going with this @gfthe-fearsome-foursome)
(Please ignore my last ask I was wayyy too excited lol, anyways this is Asher the teenager I was talking about.)
āHi! I heard that someone had Polydactylism like me I almost couldnāt believe it, I thought I was the only one! Especially with my mix of 6 and 7 fingers.ā
"Ah, greetings!"
"Well⦠this is certainly a surprise! I knew polydactyly wasnāt exactly uncommon, but to encounter someone with a similar traitā thatās⦠quite remarkable!"
āDeath of a Pinesā AU hope you donāt mind that I gave it a name @leo-artista
The plan was simple: fake his death, disappear, and finally be free from Ricoās gang. Stanley Pines had spent too long on the run, always looking over his shoulder, always scrambling for cash, and always one bad deal away from a bullet to the head. The moment he got wind that Ricoās men were closing in, he knew he had to act fast.
A wrecked boat. Some personal belongings left floating in the bay. A perfectly timed storm to wash away the evidence. Just like that, Stanley Pines ceased to exist.
It shouldāve been easy. No more bounty on his head. No more desperate cons to make a living. Just a fresh start somewhere far away. But what Stan hadnāt accounted forāhadnāt even consideredāwas that news of his ādeathā would actually reach his family.
And that they would mourn him.
The Funeral of a Ghost
The news spreads fast. The body is never found, but the police rule it as a probable drowning. His name makes the papersāLocal Man Presumed Dead After Boating Accidentābut to the people who once knew him, it means a final, gut-wrenching truth: Stanley Pines is gone.
Ford finds out from a letter his mother sends, written in unsteady, grief-ridden handwriting.
āStanley is dead, Stanford.ā
At first, he doesnāt believe it. He canāt. His twin brother, the force of nature who had always been larger than life, couldnāt be gone just like that. Not after years of silence, not when they had unfinished business, not when Ford had spent so much time resenting him, regretting him, missing him in some twisted, unresolved way.
But then thereās a funeral. A small one. Itās just their mother, a few distant relatives, and some old childhood friends. The family doesnāt have the money for anything extravagant, and frankly, most of them had written Stanley off years ago. But their mother mourns. She clutches a framed picture of her lost son, crying quietly into her hands.
Ford attends, but he stands apart, watching from a distance, unsure if he even has the right to grieve.
And yet, he does. More than he thought possible.
Because if Stanleyās really gone, then that means theyāll never reconcile. Ford will never get to tell him how much he hated him, how much he loved him, how much it still burns that their last words to each other were thrown in anger. It means that all thatās left of his twin is memoriesāsome bitter, some bright, but all of them tangled up in knots of guilt and love.
And now, itās too late.
Meanwhile, Somewhere Elseā¦
Stan is alive. Heās alive, and for the first time in years, heās not running.
He takes odd jobs here and there, keeps a low profile, and tells himself this is a good thing. Heās out of his familyās hair. Heās not a burden anymore. They donāt have to deal with the screw-up son who lost everything. Hell, they probably donāt even care. He figures his mom would be a little sad, but she still has Ford, the golden child, the one who actually made something of himself.
And Ford?
Ford probably didnāt even flinch.
So Stan keeps moving, never checking the news, never making contact. He drinks a little too much, sleeps in cheap motels, and tells himself heās free.
But deep down, in the quiet moments between grifts, he wonders why this freedom feels so much like being buried alive.
Random au idea: what if mullet Stan had decided to fake his death so that he'd stop getting chased by Rico's gang? And then it somehow ends up on the news and his family believes that he died- there's like a funeral and everything. Nobody is happy about it, but by far the one who takes it the hardest is Ford. After years of not hearing word from his twin he suddenly finds out he just died, and he has no idea how to feel about that. It's almost like a part of him died along with Stanley
Meanwhile Stan has no idea about what his family is going through because of his faked death. He just assumed that they would probably be fine, since it's not like anyone aside from maybe his mom would care anyways. He even considers it like he's doing them a favor, getting rid of the "useless" son who couldn't even make the fortune he said the would
Idk just an idea. If someone wants to use it or expand on it feel free to do so!
Alright hear me outā¦justā¦J-JUST HEAR ME OUT!
What if Stanley Pines never existed and Stanford was an only child but to him he wasnāt to him he was born with a twin.
Allow me to elaborate
As long as Stanford could remember he always had a twin brother they did everything together Stanley protected him from bullies, comforted him, helped him with the Stan-O-War. Everything goes almost according to cannon but one thing is missing and thats Stanley because he is just a physical manifestation of Stanfordās imagination that means only Ford can see Stanley but he assumes everyone else can too, and well his parents didnāt see much to be concerned about a lot of kids Fordās age had imaginary friends so theyā¦mostly Caryn let her son believe while she forced Filbrick to also play along because Stanford is just a kid.
But everything comes to a head when the science fair rolls around and for once it wasnāt tampered with by any human anyway, but more along the lines of a rat chewing the wires but Stanford is admit that Stanley sabotaged his project but his twin brother so when he heads home madder then a hornet and excepting to see Stanley there but his brother is no where to be found so he tells his parents and wellā¦lets just say Filbrick didnāt take the information well assuming that Stanford destroyed his own project and costing them potential millions, he decides to finally shatter Stanfordās whole world by telling him Stanley never existed.
Now Stanford is mad at his brother sure but even he thinks his father saying Stanley no longer exists is a bit harsh and argues with his father till Filbrick takes out a photo album and slams it open on the coffee table revealing a bunch of pictures which were supposed to be of Stanford and Stanley but something wasnāt rightā¦
Stanfordās blood would run cold when he sees he is alone in every picture Stanley isnāt were he is supposed to be which canāt be right because he knows his brother was there he remembers everything they did together his father had to have tampered with the pictures!
Long story short Stanford is kicked out of the house he is no longer considered a Pines due to his stupidity as his father puts it.
Feel free to expand on this if you like, this all was just something i thought of during the night and just had to get it out there
Gosh I created this a long ass time ago while listening to Underground by Cody Fry (yes i know itās not Gravity Falls sue me)
Ooo yes! Love it
Oh! And due to all of his negative thoughts and his mental state being shit that when Stanley does appear again he isnāt the strong, warm, and caring brother Ford remembers he is now just a mix of his father, his mental instability, and Bill so now he just has a worse spirit thing of his brother torturing him and he doesnāt understand why
Or like now Stanford has two brothers one that he remembers and the other is just a manifestation of his poor mental state which only drives him even more crazy because its confusing to him why Stanley is good to him one might and hurting him the next.
Alright hear me outā¦justā¦J-JUST HEAR ME OUT!

*drops this and runs for my life*
This guy was a fun concept and i love him deeply his name is Bakonis Kerrigan he isā¦or was a close friend to Stanley when they were teenagers back when Stan was kicked out of the house they did heists together, conned many people, etc but one day after an accident that left Bakonis in the hospital hoping to have his best friend there for support Stan just vanished(that was when Stan got the letter from Stanford.) and left Bakon behind.
Here is teenage Bakonis before his accident he was your local drug dealer and at the time Stanley was his best customer itās honestly how they met, now your probably wondering whats in the box well if you donāt pay up for the drugs or fulfill your end of the bargain you repay with your limbs mostly small things like your fingers, eyes, and teeth. Bakonis doesnāt play around when it comes to his jobs either pay him or lose a limb itās your choice.
Anyways my asks are open feel free to ask this lovely gentleman many questions. :)
Sooo I have two Gravity Falls au ideas for an ask blog and im having a hard time picking one so with out going into too much detail of it but I will say both will have an Oc insert I want yāalls opinion on which one I should do (also the detail is in the titles everyone)
Ok so we all agree that at some point Stanford has falling into Invader Zim dimension right or whatever that dimension would be called
With that said I present to you the idea of Stanford absentmindedly singing the Doom song at random which annoys the hell out of Stanley well at first Stan would find it funny but after hearing it for so long it gets annoying, but to spicy it up maybe one day Stanley catches himself singing it which only pisses him off more.
Bonus points if Stanford starts singing it on the Stan-O-War || where Stanley canāt just simply run away when he is in the middle of the ocean.
