Stanuary 2018 - Week Two: Trouble (ft. Blood & Fear)

(Click to preview, please. Tumblr format is messing with the resolution and brightness. It looks better on mobile?!)

A while back I saw some posts about the likelihood of Stan being forced to commit murder at least once. The concept of that, and the psychological trouble it would cause, really stuck with me. He’d probably spend days trying to rationalize the taking of a life but ultimately he’d slip into denial and repress the memory. It’d be the only thing he managed to keep off his record. Eventually, focusing on Ford’s needs and dimensional rescue would provide opportunities for sublimation for Stan, giving him a new channel for his fear and guilt. Saving his brother’s life would feel like reparation. 

So, here’s an angsty little semi-realistic Stanley in his early mullet days, being supported in his slaughter by (maybe) Rico and some other generic baddies. I also included a transparent version of Stan (Stansparent!?), because he is smol and cute and I thought someone might want him (besides me, of course).
