Been a while since (not counting the holiday cards) I had the chance to do a full color piece for fun!!
I just realized something.
This is right after Ford has barged into the gift shop with a cycloptopus and impressed the kids with his monster hunting skillz.
(I completely subscribe to the theory that Ford staged that whole thing to have an excuse to see his family - he could have zapped that monster a hundred times on the way up if he hadn’t wanted to show himself. But this isn’t about that.)
The point is, Ford is no longer in this scene when Stan says this line. He has left the room and closed the vending machine door on himself, presumably going back to the basement.
But…
…Stan’s line shows up among Ford’s thoughts when Dipper puts the mind reading helmet on him a week or two later.
It seems to me Ford couldn’t bring himself to go back downstairs immediately, even after overdramatically telling Dipper that he has no place among other people. The only way he could have heard Stan’s line is if he stayed right behind the door to eavesdrop.
Ford knows (or is trying to convince himself) that he shouldn’t be with his family, but he wants to. Badly.
And the fact that Stan called him a dangerous know-it-all hurts him.
It’s up there with the other big regrets of Ford’s life - being manipulated by Bill, hurting Fiddleford, losing the ability to trust.
He knows Stan is right. He is dangerous, and Stan has reason to shun him. And he’s pretty good at burning the bridges that could have made it less true. But it still hurts.
Reblogging because I made a post about this exact same thing but this phrases/explains it way better
The worst part of fighting with people you used to be close to is that you know exactly how to hurt each other.
Soos in high school headcanons
I’ve always wondered what Soos’s high school life was like, and since the world has not yet supplied me with any specific ideas, I have some headcanons!
* One day early freshman year, Soos decided to eat outside for lunch. After that he ate outside everyday rain or shine because he met a squirrel that ate out of the school dumpster. Soos befriended it and named it George.
* Soos told Stan about George the squirrel one day and how he was eating with George everyday. Stan said that was the saddest thing he’d ever heard. Soos disagreed, calling George a “good conversationalist”
* In the summers, when the school dumpster was empty because no one was there, Soos would pack and extra pb&j sandwich and walk to the high school during his lunch break at the Mystery Shack and give George the sandwich. Stan and Abuelita thought he was seeing a girl everyday, and were equally disappointed to find out he was feeding a squirrel
* After finding out Soos was walking into town to feed George the squirrel, Stan started driving Soos to the school everyday. Soos managed to convince Stan to feed George too on several occasions. Stan pretended to hate all of this
* Senior year George the squirrel became a mother, and since Soos hadn’t yet bought his truck he asked to borrow Stan’s car to buy “a bunch of little baby squirrel cradles” for George’s babies
* Soos petitioned to have the school take a field trip to the Mystery Shack. The school surprisingly had few objections to this. Stan however told the school no because the last thing he wanted was an army of teenagers at his house. Soos was heartbroken and Stan felt so bad he took Soos out for ice cream.
* Soos took every computer class his school offered. Everything from computer programming to graphic design
* Soos also took a business class so he could be more like Stan. He asked Stan to help him study for his final, and after looking through all Soos’s notes Stan told him the school was filing his head with lies. He then told Soos all the business tricks he’d learned over the years. Soos took his final with Stan’s tips in mind, and since none of Stan’s methods were legal, Soos failed his test miserably
* Soos got in trouble only once in high school. He was working in class and heard one of his classmates say that Stanford Pines was a horrible scam artist. Soos got up and punched the kid in the face and said “Mr. Pines is an excellent scam artist!” Soos got suspended, Abuelita was pissed and grounded him, and Stan gave him punching/ boxing advise and gave him an extra $5 on his next paycheck as a “loyalty bonus”
* Soos spent most of freshman year taking the bus after school to the Mystery Shack, but the bus route didn’t go all the way to the Shack, so everyday he walked part of the way. When Stan found out he started picking Soos up after school. He claimed it was because he needed Soos’s help at the Shack and that it was better if Soos got there sooner, but it was actually because he didn’t like that Soos was walking that far
