-the mob found Stan and he told Dipper to run, which Dipper did, except he returned driving the Stanleymobile and threw the door open like "GET IN GET IN GET IN"
-Dipper gave Stan his first non-pickpocketing hug in over 10 years

-Dipper found the "PLEASE COME! -FORD" note, stared at it for a second, then tossed it aside and went "eh, that's probably not important"
-Mabel is steadily covering Ford in stickers and he's dealing with too much to take them off (also he likes them)
-Ford held Celestabelleabethabelle at gunpoint for Mabel
-Mabel thinks Ford and Fiddleford were lovers

-i wrote a lil paragraph and it struck such a chord with Cyrus that they literally made fanart of it

Dipper thinking there are two Stanfords is gold
he would jump to The Most Bizarre Conclusion
also Mabel is right about Fiddauthor

Cyrus is such an epic name though

he was like "sorry your parents gave you the same name..." and Stan didn't really deny it XD
Mabel's train of thought was literally "I need to find young Fiddleford, I don't wanna think about Ford kissing Old Man McGucket"
& YES it gives me chosen name envy bc the chosen name chooses you, you do not choose it

it really doesn't help that one of them is shortened to Stan and one is shortened to Ford bc that is exactly what I would do if I had a twin with the same name as me, I'd just split the name in half and take the half my s!bl!ng didn't XD
I mean you can choose to be named Cyrus if you want 🤷‍♂️ you don't have to be Assigned Lee At Quotev

I know you were just kinda making a point but I have so many thoughts about how Stan is Stan because that's the name they share and Ford is Ford because it's the name they don't share, and what that means for them
PFF but also I've been Lee for so long that it's just kinda. my name. plus I don't want to take Cyrus from Cyrus

oooooh yes, especially the way Stan put up a front for so long of not caring about Ford at all, but in reality Stan was the one whose dream was the Stan-O-War, and Ford was the one who wanted a name for himself outside of his br/th3r

yeah that's the thing about finding a name that fits you
after a while you just stop thinking about it
biggest sign that you ought to change your name is that you want to imho because once you don't want to, you're just Lee or Eden
and that's just who you are now

and in the end, both of them have the swing set in their mindscapes, and when Ford pulls out the picture of the two of them in the finale, it either means that a) he searched through his drastically-changed house for it, or b) he had it on his person when he was sucked into the portal, meaning that he kept it safe for 30 years of interdimensional travel

I don't really want to XD I'm just like "man, what if I picked a cooler one"

I wanna say it was the second but like several times he tried to throw it away but was unable
That's so relatable though XD

exactlyyyy
I Could've Been Sirius

...could you have really been Sirius at all times though
you're pretty silly sometimes

I Resent That look i have a monocle

🧐

my point has been made for me
