LIVIO!!!
(Can you tell who my favourite trimax character is? XD)
Evil Stan’s memories of Before are a bit of a mess -- Bill surely had a hand in this. He needed Stan to hate Ford to the last atom of his being, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he inserted false memories or simply suppressed what good ones he had to twist Stan’s innate loyalty to his side.
Now, Evil Stan is not stupid. He knows Bill has messed with him, so sometimes he can’t help the intrusive thought: What was his original Ford like? He’s seen so many of them die that he can’t remember what was unique about his own.
He is, essentially, an unreliable narrator, even to himself.
IM SQUEALING YOUR TEEN AND OLD STANS ARE THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN also hi i'm also new(ish) to the fandom and i appreciate that you weren't afraid to join late! Alex's twitter is a wonderful place for fandom information (sometimes, like the journals) ANYWAY LOVE YOU AND YOUR BLOG! REALITY IS AN ILLUSION THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM BUY GOLD BYEEEEEE!
Ahh, thank you so much, kind anon!! <33 I’m glad you like my art and my blog! So far I’ve had a lovely time in this fandom and I am very grateful :D
I LOOOVE time travel stuff so young/old stans meeting is like, completely up my alley. There’s so much potential for retrospective angst!!!!! *w*
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!)
Bonus:
Thinking about the early days of Robotnik and Stone... They're both orphans with a dislike of humanity and a fascination with machines of mass destruction, so I wonder if they ever talked about their personal lives and private traumas.
...Probably not. But maybe they came close?
Reuploading my old comic ‘Channel Detritus’ since it was under a cut before and that got lost with the terminated account :) Heed the content warnings, please.
Set a bit before the flashback episode, where Stanley says “Good things you’ve got your smarts, Poindexter. I’ve got that other thing…what’s it called? Oh right! Punching!”
It made me somewhat melancholy to imagine Stanley thinking of himself as only good for physical violence as a child, but then I realized, how did he come to this conclusion at such a young age? Boxing, surely, but also his brother reaffirming his competence first hand.
(I headcanon Cor taught Mors how to die.)
I find King Mors fascinating!! The King named 'death'-- (gosh, his parents must have been downright wretched)-- yet another sacrifice born to die waiting for the prophecized King, by order of Bahamut, their God. Why? When? For what? His questions are unanswered and he is still dying for a country that despises him, that he is losing as his body fails him.
How frustrating! How absolutely maddening! To die a mere stepping stone...!!
What kind of a king choses a fifteen year old boy as his bodyguard as he nears death?? One that craves the company of youth, or envies their vitality...? (Imagine: the Death King being afraid of death!)
Cor may be a kid, but he's a soldier who has countless times faced death and walked out alive. He's made his peace with his end, whenever it may come.
Both of them are servants to fickle masters, who may decide when they die at any time. But of them both, only Cor knows how to die a proper warrior's death. To the Lucian King hailed as coward for drawing back the Wall to extend his life, this Crownscur's kingly resolve must've been quite something...
