Alright let’s try this again and more coherent.
I know everyone is mad at Stan. I am a little bit too.
But please don’t jump into saying “STAN YOU DICK SAVE YOUR BROTHER”
Because like
he has no obligation to. He has no logical reason to, honestly.
He, and the other people in the shack are safe. He has his family back, safe and doing fine. Let’s face it, Stan is selfish. As long as he has Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and Wendy, he doesn’t care what happens to the rest.
And before you shout “But FORD is family!” lemme go ahead and remind you of the scene
yeah, the one where he tells Ford “because as far as I’m concerned, they’re the only family I have left.”
Literally, right then and there, he stops caring for Ford. Stops considering him to be family, his brother. He even says, an episode later, “Let him get a few bites into his brain first.” That is proof enough, Stan doesn’t care about Ford anymore.
And seriously, Stan is a bit of a coward. The only time Stan has willingly fought the supernatural, is to save his family and only his family. Ford isn’t family anymore, why would he want to go on what he probably considers a suicide mission to save him?
In Stan’s eyes, Ford has been nothing but a dick to him. Letting him get kicked out before he could explain himself, calling him after ten years only to get him to do favors for him, then after working for 30 years to get him back, he punches him, indirectly insults him, and tells him to quit the life he’s built for himself by the time summer is over.
Of course Stan is unwilling to save Ford, of course he’s unwilling to risk his life for someone who thinks it’s so worthless.
I just- PLEASE DON’T THINK STAN HAS ANY OBLIGATION AT THIS POINT TO SAVE A MAN WHO HAS DONE NOTHING BUT HURT HIM HIS WHOLE LIFE.
