so like, what about a platonic Beauty and the Beast AU with Stan as the Beast and Mabel and Dipper sharing the role of Belle????

(also, McGucket as Maurice, Ford, Soos and Wendy as the roles of Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, and Cogsworth, and Gideon as Gaston, with Ghost Eyes as Lefou)

idk, i was thinking of ‘hey, what about a platonic version of Beauty and the Beast, where platonic/familial love saves the Beast instead of romantic love??’ but then my mind was like ‘hey, what if i added Gravity Falls to this’ and then this happened lmao



i just love the idea of Stan getting turned into a beast, and having to suffer being like this for years and years, with his depression and self-worth getting worse and worse….. until, one day, Dipper and Mabel come into his life. And by spending time with them and bonding with them (via snowball fights, dancing with Mabel, and showing the library to Dipper), he’s slowly starting to love them, and they’re starting to love him back, and it’s just pure platonic fluff all around
