Yeah, That Would've Been More Lore-accurate, But Markiplier Didn't Know That When He Originally Said

Yep, this is my new headcanon for Stan now. Filbrick would have absolutely given Stanley this as his middle name. It would have gone like this:

Nurse: "Alright, so we've got Stanford's name settled. What about the other twin's? His first name?"

Filbrick: "Stanley."

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "Very...creative, I see. Though, I suppose matching names are quite common for twins. Middle name?"

Filbrick: "Also Filbrick."

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "You — You know, you probably should give them different middle names. I get that they're twins and all, but they should still have their own sense of identity—"

Filbrick: "I did."

Nurse: "...You did what?"

Filbrick: "Are you deaf? I said I did give him a different middle name! It's 'Also Filbrick.'"

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "Alright then. Stanley Also Filbrick Pines it is..."

DEAR GRAVITY FALLS FANDOM: @songforten AND I HAVE A PROPOSAL.

Transcript under cut:

quantumshade: “not like he can judge. guy who doesn’t have a canon middle name but fanon ones include things like “danley” “caryn” “also filbrick” and the like

Cosmo: HELP I HAVENT SEEN “ALSO FILBRICK” BEFORE

Cosmo: STANLEY ALSO FILBRICK PINES

Cosmo: THATS REALLY FUNNY

quantumshade: LMAOOOO i meant that he just had the same middle name as ford but now that I think about it.

quantumshade: this is canon to me.

Cosmo: It’s Also Filbrick now.

Cosmo: Filbrick Pines would do that

quantumshade: he would

quantumshade: he’d say it to whoever was writing on the brith certificate and not correct them when they write the “also”

Gremlin Gus: "Or, you could go to one place and get all the candy you could ever want..."

Mickey: "We're going to a candy store?"

Gus: "What? No, it's night-time. Candy stores are closed."

Oswald: "We're gonna rob a candy store?!"

Gus: "Ugh..."

So, I know that I already a poll on deciding my fanfic's name, but it feels cheap for me to name my fanfic based off of my AU and, at the time, I didn't have any more name ideas. Now I do. I'll still list "Actor Falls" as an option in case people enjoy it the most out of all of them.

I would greatly appreciate you taking the time to place a vote for my poll.

So, as I've stated in my last post, I've began to write my final draft for the first chapter of my AU's fanfic. However, I added a "(?)" because I figured, knowing myself, there would most likely be a couple of things I would remove to add in. And I was correct. There was a portion I initially liked, but realized seemed so random in the chapter, so I removed it. However, I didn't just want to delete it altogether, so I'm posting it here. Enjoy!

TRIGGER WARNING: Panic Attack

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Out-of-Context)

Cut Content From My Fic:

When he first entered the elevator, he was extremely confident and optimistic about how his first impression would be recieved. Now that his thoughts had been given some time to simmer from the long ride, he couldn't help his worries piling up at the front of his mind. What if he messed up? What if he said something wrong and offended everyone there and he had no genius to blanket his fall, since intellect wasn't vital the acting industry? Or, furthermore, what if it turns out he's not at all the good actor Stan assured him he was and made an utter fool out of himself? He could just picture the headline: "Dr. Ford — Brilliant Scientist Turned Actor Laughingstock."

Oh, Moses, what was he thinking! He had to leave this elevator this instant, one way or another.

His fingers resumed the activity of tapping the shiny, metallic railing attached to and surrounding the glossy walls of the elevator — this time at a much rapid pace than before. (He hadn't even realized he had stopped.)

Tappity-tappity-tap.

His brown eyes scanned through the assortment of buttons, searching for something that would allow him to pause or stop the electrical contraction. It didn't matter what it did as long as it would save him from future humiliation.

Tappity-tappity-tappity-tap!

He couldn't go through with this. Moses, for someone so smart he was so stupid. Why did he ever think this was a good idea?

TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAP!

Why did he decide to go through with this? Why did he decide to go through this? Whydidhedecidetogothroughwiththis? WHYDIDHEDECIDETOGOTHROUGHWITHTHIS?

TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY—!

...

His entire body was frozen as still as a statue, yet it felt as if he was shaking and moving so much internally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fun fact about me: For some reason, I have a tendency to write my protagonists having mental breakdowns in the first chapter of my fics (original and fanfiction alike). Usually, it doesn't feel random and fits in quite well, since those first chapters also tend to be very dramatic and impactful on my protagonist's emotional state. Here, it doesn't work. Stan has already assured him he'll do fine. Sure, he still can worry and be anxious about his reception to everyone (I know I would *cough cough* anxiety disorder *cough cough*), but it doesn't feel too in character for Ford, especially at the moment. So, I'm deleting the scene.

Please take a few minutes to watch the video and read this post.

I am writing these words after losing hope in everyone… except for you, my friends. Tumblr has a very large number of users, estimated in the millions . That’s an enormous number! But imagine, with all those of people, how would you feel if people saw you and ignored you? You’d feel deeply disappointed, right? Or maybe you’d even wish for death.

Have you ever wished for death? For me, I feel like I’d rather die than be ignored by everyone. If I wasn’t in desperate need of help, I wouldn’t ask anyone for it. I really need help.

Imagine for a moment that you have a small child you love dearly, and you’re forced to watch her suffer in front of your eyes. This isn’t just an imagination for me; it’s my reality. My family and I live this pain every day.

Please, be our hope. Be our voice. Be the ones who save us from despair. Don’t ignore us. Donate, even if it’s just $5 .

There are so many people reading this post right now. I beg anyone who sees these words to donate if they can, and if not, to share this post. Please, don’t leave us behind.

Be our family, or think of us as members of your own family, and save us from this suffering. No matter how small the amount, your help means the world to us. And if you can’t donate, share this post and add a few kind words to inspire others to help.

—Meet the Cast!—

(Part Two: The Stan Twins)

Stan:

Stan has spent the majority of his life as an actor. Ever since he was young, he auditioned for parts in plays; giving him an early start to his career. His lengthy experience has allowed him to perfect the art, becoming a professional of the finest quality. He would have never ended up at this point, however, if not for his passion for performing.

"I'd have to say I love the thrill of it. Always have. Putting on a persona and just fallin' back into the character. I dunno too much about the mental implications — that's more of Ford's thing, ya see: nerd stuff — but maybe the fact that it makes me feel in control of the situation is why. And, yeah, I know that it's 'you' not 'ya,' or whatever. I get enough of that at home from you-know-who," he explained upon questioning.

He was requested specifically to play the role of "Stanley Pines" by the creators, Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. They claimed that they thought no one would be able to bring the character to life as well as him. After all, it was a difficult balance of "greedy conman," "grumpy old man," and "secret softie" that had to be done perfectly in order to accurately reflect the vision. A feat they believed only Stan was capable of achieving. Ultimately, they were right: Causing Stanley Pines to become a character loved by the public all because of Stan's acting.

In his free time, he tends to attend casinos for the cause of gambling. He'll walk in with a small amount of cash in his pockets (moderated by Ford to ensure that his twin doesn't accidentally drive himself broke) and come out with bags overflowing with money. He claims to be an extremely lucky person with natural talent and good instincts when it comes to the activity. He has been accused of cheating by many, but his good heart and reputation is enough to challenge and disarm such slander. (Plus, Ford comes to his brother's defense in a way so aggressively protective that some of them back off immediately out of fear.)

Despite his tough outside and gruff voice, he's a kind person who cares a lot about those around him. He's started multiple charities with the money he's won from casinos and gained over the years in an attempt to help those in need. He implores others to step up and do the same, since every donation and act to make the world better makes a difference.

He lives with his twin brother, Ford, and the two of them spend much quality time together. Some people are suprised that they still stay so close at their age, but they just reply that they're like fictional counterparts and wouldn't have it any other way.

Ford:

Ford is a well-established scientist whose scientific endeavors, while usually being a bit more unorthodox, have paved the way for several accomplishments. He strives for the betterment for society and believes that in order to make discoveries, you need to realize and accept the truth surrounding you. Recently, he's also developed some fame for his first ever acting role of playing "Stanford Pines" from the adored series, "Gravity Falls." The story of how he came to receiving that role is one of humorous coincidences.

"It really was just a huge struck of unbelievable luck — though it was because of Stan, so maybe it isn't that out-of-left-field. The beginning of the story, so I was told, was this: Stan was talking to the writers about upcoming episodes and they revealed to him that they were going to green screen him as double for the rest of the series for the long-lost twin brother, Stanford. Stan was asking about the appearance — what does the twin look like, are there any specific details he should know in advance for when it came to dressing for the scene shoot — so then they mentioned, 'Oh! Well, he has polydactyly, so we'll have to find some way to add an extra pair of fingers on.'" Of course, Stan immediately thought of me and told the crew about having a twin brother who just so happened to have six fingers. They were delighted by this information and offered me the role as a result.

"I didn't know what to think at first. Acting wasn't my forte and I didn't have much experience; not to say that I had none, for there were a few times where I covered for Stan when he had to drop-out last minute. Regardless, I still wasn't very skilled in that particular field of expertise. I wasn't that confident in my ability and felt that my acting would only hinder the quality of the show. That should've been the end of it.

"...

"Yet, it wasn't because Stan is nothing but stubborn, and I can't help loving him for it. He sat down next to me and gave me an encouraging talk. He said that I'm much better than I think I am and this would be a chance to prove those words to be true. He then...he then told me that he would love to be able to work with me on set, and that accepting the role would save the CGI crew some time. At that point, I couldn't refuse, so I was welcomed as the actor of 'Stanford Pines'. And I have to say, I don't regret that decision," the scientist reminisced during a behind-the-scenes interview.

Ford is usually quiet unless a topic of his interest is brought up or he's speaking to a person he enjoys conversating with. He's extremely fond of academics and has been found to help the younger actors with any educational assistance they require; whether that be a math problem they don't understand or an in-depth lesson on theme.

Now, this part is purely theorizing, but many people suspect that he has some kind of past relation to popular actor, William (actor of "Bill Cipher"). Despite the two claiming to not be familiar with the other, they seem to avoid each other specifically out of all of the cast members — even on their supposed 'first day' of meeting! William is more subtle, suddenly being reminded of things and gaining convenient excuses to leave the room. Ford, meanwhile, just slips away once the yellow triangle comes near. However, please remember that this is pure suspicion and not anything valid, so do with this information as you please.

If I had a nickel for every time the protagonist of an indie horror game, after getting into the final boss fight from an attempt to save their best friend, was dropped and betrayed by said friend, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

If anyone capable of donating sees this, please consider.

Please stop ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save my children😔😭

We haven't had bread for days... The war on Gaza continues, the blockade is suffocating us, and the situation is desperately desperate - children, families, everyone is starving. We need every voice, every support, every contribution to make our cry heard. Please don't ignore our suffering. We are currently under siege, and we have no safe haven. We are being subjected to heavy bombardment. My family and I could be killed at any moment. Donate, donate, help us get out of Gaza faster. Share, do good. Your donation is not just a donation, it's saving our lives. Don't leave us to die here.

I accidentally posted my unfinished final draft of the first chapter of my fanfic 😭💀I changed it to a private post and am going to have to continue editing it this way now. I don't know how that happened. I had it listed as a draft. Better than accidentally deleting it, I guess

Bill: "Yo. I've been talking to Ford for a couple of weeks, and I think I'm ready to ask him out."

Fiddleford: "I mean, yeah, that's cool that you wanna go out with him, but I heard that he only likes guys with blonde hair, like—"

*He blinks and all of a sudden Bill is a guy with extremely blonde hair*

Fiddleford: "..."

Fiddleford: "Bro..."

Bill: "I'm — I'm just chilling."

Fiddleford: "Bill, how are you gonna change your entire self...for a guy, bro—"

Bill: "Bro..."

*Bill taps the southern man on the shoulder and points into the distance where Stan is walking up next to Ford*

Bill: "He has a twin...brother."

*Fiddleford now has hair so blonde and bright that it's capable of blinding the eyes of passerby*

...

Fiddleford: "See, that's a different story."

Bill: "That's what I'm trying to say!"
