GRAVITY FALLS/METRO 2033 CROSSOVER BC MY FRIENDS HAVE THE BEST AND THE WORST IDEAS EVER.



>aka shitty colorings of the sketches i made throughout this week and a brief explanation of wtf do I mean

Long story short (jk) it all starts when two citizens: Stanford and Stanley, who’ve been traversing the metro for years

(years - a pair of travelers, mercenaries, collectors, handymen, inseparable)

come across an intriguing individual - a stalker named Bill. A living legend among professionals, with a strange interest he offers Ford a chance to become a stalker too, but he refuses. Mainly bc of Stan, who tells Ford he feels smth off in the guy.

A year passes (or at least they think so, not sensitive for the flow of time) and they meet Bill once again, this time - accepting his offer, both of them. Stan wouldn’t let Ford go alone would he

Next few years they spend in Poils - introduced to its faction by Bill, Ford begins his career as a stalker and researcher. Stan rarely goes to the surface, being forbidden to by his brother (to protect him from radiation, says Ford, but really to not let him see the t h i n g s a b o m i n a t i o n s he’d seen)

His research begins to drive him insane.

Stan sees it, begs his brother to cease it

He begins to - even w/o Ford’s permissions - accompany him in expeditions just to watch his back. He’d never understood why Bill wanted for only Ford to become a stalker, but he gets to know it soon after they go to the surface together (along w/ other stalkers from Polis)

When they split into two groups, Ford’s party falls into Bill’s snare - they get trapped on the surface, with no help coming for them

While Stan is desperately looking for him. His world collapses with the night coming - they need to go back, having received almost toxic amount of radiation

Stan can’t go search for him for weeks months. He doesn’t even know if he’s alive.

Polis council blames him for Ford’s disappearance and banishes him from the station.

After that he tries everything to go back to the surface and at least look for him. He’s never guessed Bill’s true motives - that the stalker w a s n ‘ t a c t u a l l y f u l l y h u m a n and took a great effort to protect the world above from any intruders. That he tried to keep humanity in the metro, leave them to rot and slowly die off. That when he saw Ford he knew his potential and first decided on taking advantage of it - but when he saw his victim has his s t r e n g t h (in Stan’s person) didn’t hesitate to crush him.

MABEL AND DIPPER IN THERE.

They’ve too met Bill at some point, but he wasn’t really interested in two brats from the Metro’s outskirts (even if they both tend to sneak out to explore the surface once in a blue moon) Especially Mabel clings onto him for the sake of her curiosity

They are free to wander around their home station and that’s were they come across Stan, exhausted after years of searching for a way to get Ford back.

TBC.
