Une's Nonsensical Ramblings Episode 2: Reverse Falls

This one is a weird one. I enjoy some of the concepts, the general idea is great, however I find I don't like the whole 'Dipper and Mabel are mean and kill people' thing (and also just, a whole lot of the AUs general elements. Murder is cool but lets not with the niblings). So, I'm deciding to remake the whole thing because. I dunno. I can. My general idea is this; What if the talisman Gideon uses and becomes corrupted by in show, was found by Stan and Ford in their kid years? They found two of them in the wreckage of what would eventually become the Stan O' War, locked away in a rusty old chest. Just like Gideon, using it taints the user and whitens the hair (another gripe I have with typical Reverse Falls content - Gideon's hair was not always white, that's a side effect of the pendants influence, so therefore his hair should be brown in that AU). Stanley and Stanford, become thick as thieves as they grow up with the talismans influence. As they grow into teens they set their sights on power and money. Why be a scholar when you could be a King? Why be a ruffian when you could be a Lord? That sort of mindset. The worst parts of the personality become heightened with the talisman, so Stan's questionable morals dips ever lower and Fords light apathy to society greatly worsens. Stan's kleptomania is damn near impossible to control and his impulsivity is greatened, his loyalty to Ford becoming almost toxic in nature. He'd do anything for him, even murder if he was asked. Ford stops caring about the general populace. But he does care about Stan, they're a dynamic duo, and Stan's the only person he really trusts. His ego is bigger than ever and he's got one hell of a mean bone in him. The science fair project is never broken in this AU, because Stan believes wholeheartedly that Ford would never abandon him. I imagine they depend on each other a lot. Perhaps the talisman Ford wears is telepathic in nature, while Stans is telekinetic. Ford can manipulate the astral plane, but Stan can manipulate the physical plane. Thus they need each other. Ford goes off to West Coast Tech, and Stan follows suit, starting shady practices to get rich. Unlike canon, Stan is successful in his endeavors. Once they've both become partially satisfied with themselves, Ford insists on moving to Gravity Falls because of the natural weirdness. Having a mansion built on rural soil, Ford becomes a researcher while Stan does what he does best; starts swindling idiots. Finding the cave paintings, Ford initiates contact with Bill. Bill thinks he's the naive idiot he is in canon, but that isn't the case anymore. This Ford knows how to lie. How to tell when someones lying. A shady deal when he sees one. Seeing the potential for personal power gain, Ford actually ruses Bill. Not the other way around. Bill would do anything Ford wanted, if he gave Bill a corporeal form (Bill was trying to swindle his way around). Finding the perfect excuse in that, Ford convinced Bill to merge their souls together, that Stanford will give him 'access to the physical plane' if the demon aided him until he no longer needed it. It was a ruse. And now Bill is an indentured servant till the end of Fords days. Which wouldn't end anytime soon. Stanford, stricken with this power, craved more. And so, he demanded the construction of a portal. Using Bill as a 'little helper', and the money they'd accrued, a magnificent creation was made. He began to dimension hop, in search of more, trusting Stan to be well on his own. For decades he roamed the multiverse, challenging and defeating powerful demons for their souls, learning secrets, acquiring knowledge he shouldn't have. By the time he grew bored and wished to return home to his brother, he had challenged millions on countless moons. He was no longer human, not anymore.

When he returned he realized his brother would die of age and leave him behind, so, he offered a deal. That if Stan's loyalty to him never wavered, never lessened, Stan would be immortal by his side til the end of time. He took it. Why wouldn't he? By the time Mabel and Dipper come along, they're direct rivals with the Northwests in regards to social power in Gravity Falls. And at their birth, Ford passes down the talismans to them, making it a sort of tradition amongst twin generations. Which, by the time their 12, has already done significant damage. Thus, summer starts.
