More rambling on the lore of this au *it has 0 name yet*
Ford is so incredibly pissed off it's bordering insanity. Ford had been studying magical anomalies for years and can only manage basic spells with an amulet full of fairy dust and unicorn hair (don't ask him how he got the hair or why he's forever finding piles of sparkly shit on his lawn) without collapsing from exhaustion and here comes stan pulling off impossible feats WITHOUT ANY RUNES OR SPELLS OR EVEN COMPREHENSION OF WHAT HE'S DOING
Stan eventually figures out what he's doing isn't normal. For a while he's shocked and conflicted at the idea of being better than ford at something.. but then he starts thinking about money.
Aka Stan becomes a magician and opens a small shop/show in town where he does shitty tricks that are just.. a little too unbelievable and he sells enchanted items like luck bracelets. His new business only infuriates ford further. Not only is Stan unfairly good at magic but he's using it to pull rabbits out of hats. The only time ford successfully preformed a feat of magic without assistance was setting stan's ugly top hat on fire.
(Doodling ford being ragebaited)
At some point ford will get himself killed and or horrifically injured while hunting anomalies and stan will quite literally put him back together through pure belief that 'ford is fine, he's better than okay, if i just carry him home and get him some soup he'll be right as rain'
I might end up writing a fic about this once I figure out the lore and a name for the au
More doodles:
hc that stan and fiddleford start to get along after weirdmaggedon but only cause stan can get used to a guy that speaks fondly of his brother
'oh, he's not perfect by any means- no one is. but the end of the world wasn't his fault like all the townsfolk say it was. i saw that blasted demon myself, after all. hard to say no to something as horrifying as that lying devil. no, stanford is too much of a joy to ever do something like that on purpose'
and then just a fallout style textbox in the corner like [stan liked that]
#post canon fiddleford absolutely joins stan in the 'whaaaaaaat he's just a little guy he wouldn't do that he's so cool and awesome' club #staring the government right in the eyes as they deny the idea that ford could have stolen anything from their very radioactive bunker #meanwhile there's a suspiciously ford-shaped hole in their stash of toxic materials (via @thereareeyesinsidethetrees)
#he's just a little guy club
You know one of the saddest things? I think that if Stan had reached out to Ford first, had asked for help, I genuinely believe Ford would have helped.
Yeah, he's still mad, and they're going to have to talk about it eventually, but if Stan wrote to him and said "PLEASE COME!" or if he called and said "I need help" Ford would have dropped whatever he was doing and helped. Sure, he'd probably grumble about it, he might argue with Stan that he'd brought at least a bit of it on himself, really, Stanley, you thought this was a good idea?
But no, there is no world in which Stanford Pines wouldn't at least try to help his brother, whatever had happened between them.
If only someone would have told Stan that.
Ok so this is going to be very drabbly as it comes from an all nighter but I just couldn't help yapping after spending said all nighter stalking @aroace-get-out-of-my-face safety alarm au
So in my au ford is pretty much his usual self, paranormal scientist studying anomalies. He is really interested in magic but based on his research believes only certain anomalies can channel it and tales of witches are just that, tall tales. He's tried a few spells but can only do very rudimentary ones with the assistance of a magical item
Ensue the bill fiasco and ford in a last ditch effort sends stan the post card. Instead of just sending stan away with the journal he starts rambling about bill and the portal. Stan convinces ford to sit down for a meal (fort was sure that he hadn't left the house in at least 2 months, much less to buy groceries. He hadn't paid the gas bill either? Had bill done it to win his favour)
Stan on the other hand is worried about his twin. Ford kept twitching and rambling nonsense about demons and portals. The most plausible explanation was drugs and or withdrawal. He puts the passed out scientist to bed and starts cleaning up the house. As he expected he finds a stash and disposes of it. The basement is an upscale, if messy lab with some pills scattered across the desk. No portal in sight
In the mindscape ford is met with a fuming bill screaming about how it's 'a low blow to bring your freakishly manna rich brother to fix all your problems and RUIN MY PLANS! I CAN'T EVEN POSESS YOU NOW SIXER!!'. Ford is convinced bill is trying to gaslight him.. until he finds the portal gone. He also is experiencing cravings he can't place. He's still convinced he's hallucinating until he notices a pack of malbaros slide over to stan because he assumed they were in arms reach
