Stanley being a bad influence on Ford (drawn for @corndog-patrol)

(+ a little bonus comic because i couldn't help myself)

AU Stan still pretends to be Ford, but contrary to Canon,

his mother Caryn is aware of the ruse. He regularly sends her letters. Filbrick has no idea though, since he never bothered to visit his son or his grandchildren.

Brother that gon be one toxic relationship 😭

listen i don't care if its a toxic relationship as long as

there's potential to change and develop

it's not being glorified or put in a light that would suggest it's something people should actively look for and indulge in in a relationship

while I'm not one to completely rely my argument on "oh it's fiction so you can do whatever you want with no consequences" it's important to distinguish that nobody is actually being hurt as it is in fiction.

a lot of relationships in fiction are inherently toxic but i dont think that should take away enjoyment from the media.

blue and error's relationship was inherently toxic (yes, even after the reworks, they still had a toxic relationship at some point) but they were able to still develop and change as characters

it's not that we should be like "uurrgh toxic relationships are always bad because everyone needs to be perfectly healthy" because that's just unrealistic both in fiction in real life like nobody is perfect people are human and humans can get toxic that's just how it is

Hello! Dreamswap and Fatal Flaws have been rotting my brain recently, and I wanted to ask a few questions:

Does Champion still exist in Fatal Flaws? He's a character I don't see much of anywhere and yet his existence fills me with such joy.

Do any members of either cast know of/play Dungeons and Dragons? The meme squad feels like they would bring such chaos to a table, and imagining the nonsense makes me happy.

Thank you if you take the time to read this, I think your characters are very interesting!

hi there! well… champion was honestly a pet character I added randomly to dreamswap, to not much commitment. at the time I think I was going through this phase where I was trying to get readers to understand that arthur/ds dream was some guy and wasn't evil, so I was like, look, he has a dog! haha 💦

after that, I just kind of stopped thinking about it. I never really settled into the idea of arthur having a dog, at least one that he personally takes care of. I think he would have one if he were living a normal life or when he was a kid, but probably not while he's running jr at a mental low and trying to hunt miles. the man might have champ introduced as a therapy dog later down the line. he needs it

as for your other question, I have no idea man. I'm sure the meme squad plays it, it seems on brand for them, but I never really got into d&d.

Stanley is smart.

He doesn't know it. No one knows it. Nobody truly saw the hidden depths of Stanley's mind. All their lives, they've been told: Stanford was smart. Academic. Bright. A world by his fingertips. Brimming with potential. His mind alone was worth millions. Stanley was lucky to be worth a cent. People knew where to look, where to point their attention, and it was never at Stan.

Ford was smart, Stan is right there. Ford was going places, Stan is right there. Ford will one day bestow upon the wisdom the world needs. Stan is right there.

But Stanley is smart. No one else knew.

Because no one knows what sharpness it took to craft the perfect lie. No one knows what understanding it takes to make masses grin in the wake of their words. No one knows what experience it belows to seemingly tip the scales of Lady Fortune herself in one's own favor as easy as breathing.

No one knows what cleverness it took to trick a trickster of the mind itself. No one knows, when Ford's own mind had dimmed with grief and despair, his hope crushed under inky black fingers bit by bit, Stan's had shone through, burning so brightly it took the two inhabitants away. No one knows what resilience of the mind it takes, to reach into the depths of their own mishapen, shattered remains and pick itself up at the call of their of their loved ones.

But Stanford knows. Stanford always knew.

Stanley is smart. He's always been smart. He keeps getting smart, every day, every minute and every second.

...

Stanford can only hope he doesn't get too smart. He can only hope that the lavender haze that plagues Stan's eyes blurs the signs enough so that he'll never be wise.

Because the day Stan wisens up, he'll understand what everyone— teachers, their father, Ford, and himself— was wrong. The day Stan wisens up, he'll see Ford as the walking chain of his insecurities and hurt that held him down for decades.

The day Stan wisens up, he'll know, and he will leave Ford to flounder.

Ford hopes Stan never knows how smart he really is. He would stay right there, just by Ford's side.

Had more hugs calling me so of course I was gonna make more

(Also need to draw Ford being a little menace more)
