Hiya! If your request fic is open, do you mind a little Drabble with two young trouble maker like Stanley and baby GriFord?

Your wing au was really cool and it was nice to see one finished.

Little Stanley was walking around the Gravity Falls woods with his brother turned owl griffin, Dipper and Mabel following nearby for safety... sorta. Not near enough to hear Stan ramble about the prank he planned to pull on them though, that's for sure. Ever since Stan woke up like this, with no memories of ever being old (what a weird thought, being old) and by the side of the creature the twins had explained was his brother after a curse thirty years ago, he had a prank he'd wanted to play on them. Stan winked when the twins were out of sight and it was go time.

"AHHH HELP! FORD'S ATTACKING ME!" Stan shouted, a fear in his voice that frightened Dipper and Mabel. Ford? Why would he attack Stan? Maybe if he'd given in to his instincts? There was no time to think, Dipper and Mabel hurried to catch up to them, as they'd gone around a bend. Sure enough, Ford was on top of Stan, growling and scratching him with his claws. And... there was blood!

"Stop it, Ford! What's gotten into you?!" Dipper shouted, trying to pull off the small owl griffin with a shout. This was scary... and confusing. The beast waved his paws and flapped his wings as Dipper pulled him off of Stan. Mabel hurried to Stan and asked if he was alright, his shirt was shredded and bloody. But upon closer inspection, the blood seemed... odd.

"Hahahaha! You should've SEEN the look on your faces!" Stan doubled over, rolling around in laughter. Small ketchup packets from Greasy's Diner fell out of his shirt, shredded into pieces and oozing the blood-like ketchup. Dipper, hefting a now cozy Ford in his arms, sighed in exasperation. It was a prank. Of course it was.

"Don't do that! You scared us half to death!" Dipper shouted sharply, his heart still pounding from the experience, then took a deep breath, "Look, I'm sorry I snapped at you, but was ruining your shirt really worth it?"

"C'mon Dipper, don't be a wet rag! It was pretty funny!" Mabel exclaimed, helping the wheezing Stan to his feet. Dipper just rolled his eyes, placing Ford gently onto the ground, who had an 'innocent' look on his face. Ford hooted smugly as he ran over to Stan. Dipper managed to convince Stan to come back to the Shack to change, for his shirt was absolutely ruined in the prank.

"Ha! I told you it would work!" Stan held up his hand to the small owl griffin as they walked, "High six!"

Stan laughed as Ford stood on his back legs and tapped his hand with a large fluffy paw, before they both bounded closer to Dipper and Mabel. This had been a successful prank.

Country recording artist Andy Pursell set to release new single “Right Amount Of Wrong”

Florida-based singer-songwriter and indie country recording artist Andy Pursell (Southern Dreams Ent.) announced the scheduled release of his newest tune “Right Amount of Wrong.”* Written by Ryan Griffin and Terry Dennis, and produced by Mark Dreyer, the track will be available via all digital retail outlets and streaming platforms Friday, March 17, 2023. (Presale/pre-save event begins March 3, 2023.) Recorded at Studio 23 Lakeside Recording in Nashville, the single features instrumental performances by award-winning, A-list musicians, including four-time ACM “Steel Guitarist of the Year,” Mike Johnson (Jason Aldean/Carrie Underwood/Jon Pardi/George Strait/Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard), Kevin Grant (Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard/Colt Ford/Josh Turner) and Mike Rojas (George Strait/Tim McGraw/Brett Eldredge). The twangy honky-tonker is a mix of the best of 90s country and today’s contemporary sound. Akin to the Bellamy Brothers’ No. 1 hit, “Redneck Girl,” the leading lady beams with frisky, flirty, flannel sophistication to become a magnetic attraction. “The vibe and storyline are ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ meets ‘Urban Cowboy;’ she’s a perfect combination, with ‘just the right amount of wrong,’ and that makes her irresistible,” said Andy Pursell.  “A song is like a canvas; we assembled the right mix of musicians to make the magic and paint the perfect picture both in storyline and instrumentation. The outcome is exactly what I had envisioned.” SHE’S JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WRONG FOR ME DASH OF TRASH TALKING SEXY WALKING SHE’S SO AWESOME SHE’S THE PERFECT BLEND OF NICE AND ALL THE INNOCENCE WITH A TOUCH OF SIN ON HER OWN SHE’S JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WRONG SHE GETS A LITTLE FLIRTY IN THE BACK OF THE PEW OF THE CHURCH AND WHEN SHE’S FEELING FRISKY SHE WON’T CLEAN UP DIRTY WORDS SHE’S LIKE A MARGARITA WITH AN EXTRA SHOT AND WHEN SHE STARTS TO LOSE HER COOL IT’S BOUND TO GET REAL HOT The new tune follows the momentum of Pursell’s recent single “Off The Chain ” released in late fall 2022. The corresponding “Right Amount Of Wrong” music video is scheduled for a March 24, 2023 release. Track Info Artist: Andy Pursell Song Title: “Right Amount of Wrong” Label: Southern Dreams Ent. Written by: Ryan Griffin/Terry Dennis Produced by: Mark Dreyer Musicians: Mark Dryer (guitar)/Kevin (Swine) Grant (bass)/Wayne Killius (drums)/ Mike Johnson (pedal steel)/Danny Parks (guitar)/Mike Rojas (keys) Distribution: TuneCore Release Date: March 17, 2023 Presale/Pre-Save Event: March 3, 2023 Run Time: 3:20 Florida-based country recording artist Andy Pursell found a passion for music and live performance in his late teens. Born and raised in Arcadia, Florida, the former lineman and self-taught guitarist (who embraces the sounds of Waylon Jennings, Garth Brooks, Hank Jr., Mark Chesnutt and Tracy Lawrence) formed the Andy Pursell Band (a group of veteran musicians with more than 40 years live performance experience combined) in 2015. Shortly thereafter, Andy was recognized as “Favorite New Artist” by the Tampa Bay Music Network (2016). As a support act, Andy has shared stages with Alan Jackson, Hunter Hayes, Clay Walker, and Montgomery Gentry among others; he’s headlined stages at the Bradenton Area River Regatta, the Smokin’ In The Pines Festival, Manatee Civic Center, Hard Rock Cafe’ (Tampa) and The Ultimate Bullfighters World Finals “The Bulls And Bands Bash.” Andy is a spokesperson for, and an ambassador of, Salt Life; he released the single titled “Livin’ In The Salt Life” (2019).

Screenshot redraw of the owl nerd, looking even more like an owl. I was tempted to put the cyclopus in the picture but it looked silly with his holding it in his paw, so he is just smiling at his niblings probably.

Hoped you like!

Monochrome Commission for @elishevart

This big monster's got some big hugs to share

(Like what you see? Consider commissioning me!)

How about a little griffin Ford? ;) the sketch you did a while back is still one of my favorite^^.

Your art and story are awesome! Looking forward for more of your stuff in the future.

Two babies for the price of one?

According to a cut scene from "Blendin's Game" Stan got Gompers the goat as a baby from a tourist who tried to use him pay for the tour. Maybe here, he'd decide that 'alright then, Ford could use a buddy to keep him company while I'm working.'

He's less than enthused.

Are you still taking request? 👉👈

I don’t even really know what to ask😅

Mmm…

how about Ford seing snow falling for the first time in 30 years (pretty sure he didn’t see this much in all his travels)?

Or

Your take on some GriFord😅👉👈 fluff?

Congrats on the milestone! Your stuff is always nice to stumble upon!

@elishevart Here’s my Griffin Ford drabble, finally completed!

—————

The first time it happened was by pure accident. The second time, well… he was just being a jerk.

Stan had been up all night studying, which wasn’t in itself unusual. This time the culprit responsible for his all-nighter was a physics textbook he’d read before in a state of such utter exhaustion that he’d barely retained any information at all. And so he sat at Ford’s desk, coffee pot within reach, and slogged through page after page of formulas and equations and explanations of terms like “inverse proportion” and “Planck’s constant” and cursed himself for not paying attention in high school.

Finally, when the sun began to peek through the curtains of his brother’s study, he forced himself to take a break. He hadn’t eaten in hours, and his stomach was audibly protesting. Dragging himself downstairs, he made his way to the kitchen. He was not surprised to see his brother waiting for him, parked on his haunches next to the refrigerator.

“Yeah, yeah,” said Stan, gently shoving the giant mass of feathers aside so he could open the door. “We gotta rig this thing so you can open it yourself. You know, without pulling it down on top of you.”

The owl-griffin huffed, his breath stirring Stan’s hair as he pulled out a raw slab of chuck roast and tossed it on a plate before placing it on the floor. Ford’s feathers fluffed up in pleasure as he proceeded to devour it. Yechhh.

Shaking his head, Stan washed his hands and turned his attention to his own meal. He wanted eggs and bacon, but they were out of pretty much everything. Sighing, he settled on a peanut butter sandwich and some veggies he’d bought on a sudden impulse to eat healthier. He tried to grab everything at once, and in so doing, dropped a cucumber. He watched it roll across the kitchen floor before coming to a stop beside Ford’s hind foot. Guess he wouldn’t be eating that.

Oblivious, Ford finished his breakfast, happily licking his chops, and turned his huge body to greet Stan properly. Without warning, he let out an ear-piercing shriek and leaped straight up into the air, nearly knocking the table over in the process.

“What the hell, Sixer?” Stan demanded, clutching his chest. “You nearly gave me a heart attack!”

Ignoring him, the griffin lowered his head to the floor, until his beak just barely touched the cucumber. He was glaring at the produce like it had attacked him.

“What the…” Stan bent down and picked it up. “This? This is what had you shaking in your tail feathers? It’s just a cucumber, Big Bird!”

Ford merely narrowed his eyes at it, then stalked out of the room, looking over at his shoulder at the offending object in distrust. Out of nowhere, Newton’s Third Law of Motion popped into Stan’s head: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

Stan found himself laughing as he washed the cucumber off in the sink. This called for a physics experiment.

He waited for a couple of days, until the incident had been forgotten, at least in Ford’s mind. And then, when the griffin was curled up on the floor of the basement lab, sorting through some of his old research notes, Stan quietly and carefully crept up behind him and placed the cucumber on the ground near his tail.

“Hey, Sixer,” he said, stepping back. “Could you come have a look at something for me?”

With a yawn and a stretch, Ford stood up and turned around. His reaction on seeing the cucumber was instantaneous: the big beast shot up into the air with an alarmed “HOOOO!” and took several jumps backward, his back arched and his wings spread in a threatening manner. Stan burst out laughing, clutching at his sides in pain.

“Oh, sweet Moses,” he wheezed. “I wish I’d had a camera. Ford, if you could see yourself… scared to death of a little cucumber…” He dissolved into laughter again.

Ford shot him an icy glare. Turning his back on his brother, he padded over to a dark corner of the lab and sat down, facing the wall, his tail tucked tightly around him and his ear tufts flattened against his head.

Immediately Stan regretted the prank. “Aww, Ford…” He went over to his brother and placed a hand on his flank. “I’m sorry, that was a rotten thing to do. I won’t do it again, I promise. Here, look.” To prove it, he picked up the evil cucumber and made sure Ford was watching while he snapped it in half before tossing both ends aside. “There. It’s dead.”

“Hooo…” Reluctantly, Ford stood and walked toward it, staring at its broken corpse. Then he stepped on it a few times, just to be sure.

Threat neutralized.

Occam's Razor

For the Discord Secret Santa; I know you've seen this already, but Merry Christmas, @elishevart.

Stan used to think his life couldn’t possibly get worse.

And then he found out his brother had been turned into a giant owl-griffin-monster thing, and didn’t know how to change back.

…Which, on the one hand, meant that they were together again, and now he had a house and a job and wasn’t completely alone in the world anymore.

On the other hand, the fact remained that Ford had been turned into a giant owl-griffin-monster thing, and neither of them knew how to change him back, and there were times Stan worried that he was forgetting how to think like a human.

Such as when he did things like go chasing after deer, or stare at Stan like he was a big, juicy mouse or whatever owl-griffin-monsters ate.

And a little anxious part of him in the back of his mind was starting to worry that he might forget how to think like a human altogether, and if that happened-

No!

No, they were going to find those stupid journals, and then Stan was going to figure out how to change Ford back!

Despite his resolve, Stan had to admit that it had been almost two years, and he still hadn’t accomplished either of those goals. And even though Ford still seemed to remember who he was and stuff, the times when he acted like a mindless animal were becoming more and more frequent, so he was starting to get a little desperate.

And then one day he found some of Ford’s old notes on a perfect solution, which was on the first floor, behind a bookcase.

***

“Hey Ford! C’mere a second, I think I found something!”

“Ooo Hooo?” The floorboards under Stan’s feet trembled, and a minute later his brother’s head appeared in the doorway, tilted curiously in a way he’d be mortified to hear was pretty dang adorable.

This had better work…

Stan shuffled his bare socks one more time against the soft blue carpet, feeling the tingle that rose in response, and before he could lose his nerve (or Ford could realize what he was doing and stop him) he stepped forward and quickly jabbed a hand into his brother’s fuzzy, feathery chest.

Ford barely had time to let out a startled squawk before the charge Stan had built up enveloped both of them.

***

When he opened his eyes again, the first thing Stan noticed was how…clear everything had become.

His vision had always been at least a little better than Ford’s, but now his dazed eyes were able to see the actual dust motes hovering in the air in front of his eyes in the-ugh, in the horrible blinding sunlight, just like if he was having a hangover or something!

Stan flinched, and lifted his han-his paw, draping it over his face in an attempt to block out the throbbing. It was a little disorienting, since his new front leg didn’t bend exactly the same way his arm had, but it was close enough for him to get the jist of it.

As he lay on the floor, trying to regain his bearings, it occurred to him just how big he was now. Big, and heavy, and hairy. It took him a moment to realize that the thing brushing against his back leg was his new tail twitching, and that with a conscious effort he was able to make the tuft shift away to a new spot on the floor.

This is so weird…wonder how Ford-

Oh. Yeah. Better check on him.

Gingerly, slowly, Stan forced his eyes back open, squinting against the light so he could see how his brother was handling this.

Oh geez, it looked so weird to see himself slowly sitting up-on all fours, he noticed-and staring down at his hands, and then the rest of his body, like it was the weirdest thing he’d ever seen.

“Ugh-Awooo-Graaa-” Ford squawked and coughed, before slowly lifting his head and looking at Stan. His eyes widened in realization-and then narrowed.

“Ssssstanleeeey-!”

***

Even with the struggle of learning how to move in his new body, Stan still managed to lunge away before Ford could grab him and undo his hard work, overturning several pieces of furniture in his escape.

“ROooStanleygetbackhere!” For a man who hadn’t been capable of speech in two years, Ford was regaining the ability relatively fast. And even though it was in Stan’s voice, he could faintly recognize the tones and inflections that he’d always unconsciously associated with his brother. It made his breath catch in his throat, even as he lunged into the living room and sought refuge on the sofa.

Ford was apparently struggling to remember how to walk on two legs too, if the crashing and banging that accompanied his arrival were anything to go by.

When he finally got into the living room, he put his hands on his hips and glared at Stan.

“What were you thinking, knucklehead?! There were so many factors you weren’t accounting for that could have done permanent damage to both of us!”

Stan let out an indignant screech, and actually felt his hackles rising like an angry cat. Well, excuse me for wanting ta help you figure out this stupid curse once and for all, not to mention make sure you don’t lose your mind!

To his surprise, Ford actually looked a little…frightened, and took a small step back. After a final annoyed huff, Stan lowered himself down onto the cushions; his new tail automatically curled up and around him.

Even though it was still his face, it was definitely Ford’s litany of expressions that flitted across it, since the nerd had about as much of a poker face as Stan had a knowledge of theoretical physics. The anger was still there, but mixed up with it was confusion, a hint of fear, and, after another glance down at his newly regained hands…looking suspiciously like he was trying not to cry.

Besides, now you finally get a chance to be normal like you always wanted; I dunno what you’re complaining about.

Finally Ford looked up again, jaw clenched.

“…As soon as I find my other journals and figure out how to undo the spell, we’re switching back. Is that clear?”

Stan rolled his eyes and ruffled his neck feathers.

Whatever you say, Poindexter.

How about some Griffin Ford fluff? If you are up to. 👉🏼👈🏻

congrats on the milestone! This is awesome and your stuff is awesome to read too!

"Hey Grunkle Stan? Does Grunkle Ford like to fly?" Mabel asked, tugging Stan's arm towards the owl griffin lazing around in the yard, "I don't think I've ever seen him fly since we got here!"

"Sure he does sweetheart, he just doesn't get the chance to very often. He has to be secret about it..." Stan replied, an idea forming in his mind, "I usually take him to the lake at night to fly. I'm sure I could bring you and Dipper along tonight if you really want."

"Really?! Thanks Grunkle Stan!" Mabel giggled as she reached Ford's position. Ford had heard everything, but didn't seem upset. In fact, he looked excited to take his little niblings along on one of his night flights. Ford nuzzled Mabel softly as she stroked his feathers.

That night, Stan woke the twins up from their sleep and snuck out with them in tow. Ford was already at the lake, waiting for their arrival, his grey feathers glistening in the moonlight. The twins stood by him and without warning Ford grabbed Dipper by his vest with his beak and gently plopped him onto his back. He did the same with Mabel's and her sweater.

Stan hopped up of his own volition, not needing any assistance. Stan firmly told them to hang on as Ford went out with a sprint towards the lake. Dipper and Mabel gripped Ford's body tightly and shrieked as Ford unfurled his wings and took off just before he would've fallen into the lake.

"It's okay to open your eyes now, kids." Stan nudged them when Ford's flight had leveled out. Dipper opened his eyes to see the lake rushing past, the stars glittering in the sky, and the reflection of them riding Ford in the surface of the water. It was beautiful. Ford's wings rhythmically flapping underneath them felt strangely comforting.

Suddenly Ford ascended, startling Stan and the kids. They only just hung on by sheer will. It was worth it when the view opened up to show the entire Gravity Falls valley, small lights from town lighting up the otherwise dark area. It was then that the sky opened up and a meteor shower lit up the sky.

"Whoa, that's so cool!" Dipper exclaimed in awe at the pinpricks of light streaking through the sky. Ford hooted agreement, watching them along with his passengers. Not very long after, the shower ended, and everyone felt the need to go home.

"Time to go home Poindexter." Stan stated sleepily, patting Ford's back. Ford nodded and descended in the direction of the shoreline. Once on the ground, the twins gave Ford the largest hug they could possibly give an owl griffin of that size and got safely taken down by Ford the same way they got up.

"Thank you Grunkle Ford, for that amazing ride!" Mabel expressed, hugging Ford once again from the ground. This had been an experience they would never forget. Stan and the twins walked back home with Ford feeling grateful he'd been able to provide such a neat ride.

Joining the fanart train! Is it a train? I actually made this a few days ago but I never posted (because ahhh I'm nervous to post half of what I make)-
