Stargleam: *once she's inside she looks around*
Wow this is a lot of merchandise..oo is that a glowing ufo Keychain?!
*she flies over to look at them*
That's pretty cool how many bits?
*she asks*
*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.
Stargleam: great...oo a light up ufo Keychain! How many bits is this?
*she asks while trying to figure out what stan is*
What exactly are you a hareless monkey?
*a batpony enters into the shack*
Stargleam:...again? *sighs* where even am I? Wait..is this a tourist trap?
*she says looking around*
It’s the Mystery Shack! Best place to get ripped off! I mean, to buy to cool stuff!
Uri:*sweating* Why do I feel like you guys are gonna attempt to catch me? Should I start running?
*she says, stepping back nervously*
*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.*
Aww he looks adorable with mabels sweater on! I wonder if he finds it comforting in a way lol-
old doodle i colored and rendered, he was originally wearing a sweater anyway so i thought it'd be fun to keep the theme going
also sorry for the inconsistency in my style every time i draw i have to figure out how to draw again its a nightmare
(inspired by this which is the same thing but with stan instead and IT MADE THE RADAR IFJIJFLI)
as always, reblogs are largely appreciated since they help spread art around! so!! reblog if you want!!
doodle in question is under the cut
done in an entirely different app than usual might i add which is why it doesn't have the pretty texture
i also ruffled his hair, no i cant draw hands someone help
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
Sorry for adding on so much this au just gets my non-existent brain going! Poor child has to experience the horrors that his older alternate self went through. Imagine him figuring out what happened between him and Stanley. I can't imagine how a bigified!Ford would react to getting all of his adult memories. Every time bigified! Ford sees Bill or anything related to him he attacks or destroys it in a fit of anger like Cannon Ford would. His paranoia and anger get worse over time and it worries his Grunkle and grauntie. It's just sad but I love angst sjejdjsjs-
Do you know the au relativity falls? After reading your little dilemma au, I had an idea of the same thing happening, but with relativity falls ford in reverse. He just gets aged up. Idk I just find it funny, lol.
..yeah. i think it's about time i finished this half-answered ask
(this part i've had written for a month vvv im so sorry i just decided to clear out my drafts and saw this i swear i was excited to answer it i just didnt fsr)
OH MY GOD THIS. WHY DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE SUCH GOO D IDEAS IM NOT COMPLAINING JUST THSTS SO FUN
im wondering how that'd work, like if his older version would be (or look like anyway) the ford we know or if it'd be different since he hasn't had all of those experiences
for simplicity i'll just say it'd be canon ford for now
if we're going with young adult or teenage ford i think lil ford would be ecstatic, like "STANLEY LOOK IM TALLER THAN YOU I CAN SAY BAD WORDS"
if you're thinking sixty-something ford he'd be waking up with back pain and all these weird tattoos but he'd probably still be pretty excited because like. ford's old but he's a COOL old person
either way stan would be INCREDIBLY jealous (hOW COME YOU GET TO BE TALL!? ..well, i mean, you're still kinda short all things considered but WHAT THE HEcK), but he'd probably bully him for being old so it wouldnt last long before they find a cure. also grunkle mason gets annoyed when he goes on a "you're not my boss" trip which really expedites their search for something to re-baby him
bigified!ford would constantly be running around just like MARVELING at all the new shit that comes with being older, within the first day he's filled an entire notebook with shit like "-can reach the top of the fridge" and "-back hurts"
he'd obviously pick stan up against his will stan's like fuckin jebediah from night at the museum "DONT YOU MANHANDLE ME"
(and this is what im adding just now vvv)
im confident it'd be like the fountain of youth so he actually does get a little dilemma'd just not because he's cocky and an idiot. though im wondering how he'd get bigified in the first place
maybe like. OOH he's like. acting all annoying about being the older twin and maybe some evil witch overhears and is like "fuck this child needs to be knocked down a peg. i know just the thing. fiddle dee dee fiddle dee fuck you're about to learn that being old sucks" or some shit
and ford does not learn any lesson other than "okay im gonna make sure my back is VERY healthy when i grow up" husfhkhg
stan learns that he needs to make sure ford stays short forever so he can bully him and also so ford cant pick him up like a cat
His royal highness has been dethroned by the passage of time (and the arrival of a new monarch with seven fingers).
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in Forduary 2023! It was wonderful to see and share all of your lovely creations. (Please let us know if we missed reblogging any and we’ll get them reblogged!)
