Imagine- Alastor and Lucifer united by the goal of being the most annoying brats possible.

and-

and nobody-

tldr; Bobby/Trevor from Sunset Curve experienced the trauma of all of his friends dying at 17, when they were hours away from their biggest gig yet. He did his best to still achieve that dream, which he had already lost once before, while also avoiding being constantly asked about his best friends dying and reliving that trauma. He probably had his justifications of why he stole Sunset Curve’s/ Luke’s songs. He’s not a bad guy. Please stop saying he played a role in the boys’ death so he could steal the spotlight, and just imagine what he went through. Thank you. :) 

_____________________________________________________________

Bobby/ Trevor is a good person, and yeah he made a mistake and hurt Alex, Luke, and Reggie, but that doesn’t make him the villain of the show. In this essay I will- 

Let’s start at the end of Episode 7, when Luke, Alex, and Reggie are talking about their original Orpheum show, and how long it took them to book that show. Alex says “It took us years”, so obviously the band had to be together for years. Therefore the Sunset Curve boys were best friends for years, and with the amount of time they had to spend together to be as good as they were, the boys became each other’s second family. All four of them shared a common dream: to be famous musicians. To be as good as they were, and for them to be playing together for as long as they did, famous musicians is probably the only career path these boys saw themselves doing. For example, Luke gave up EVERYTHING in order to pursue that dream; see Unsaid Emily. 

In Sunset Curve, I’m assuming all of the boys helped during the song writing process, but Luke liked to have control over the process (in ep. 7 Luke says “I know I’m not the easiest person to work with” to Julie). I’m sure that all the boys pitched in while Luke was writing songs, as Alex was slightly upset/hurt that Luke and Reggie wrote music without him. (in ep. 3 “Luke and I wrote a killer melody to one of her lyrics” “Without your drummer. Cool.” - Reggie/Alex). And Reggie obviously wrote Home Is Where My Horse Is. I’m sure Bobby made some suggestions and tried writing music, and Luke either vetoed the song or helped him with it. So the point is that the Sunset Curve boys wrote music together, but Luke was the most experienced and liked to control the process. 

Oh absolutely. Like, there’s no way Stan is getting superpowers and not exploiting that on some level for financial gain. And that would just make Ford frustrated that, his brother got these amazing abilities and he’s using them to, I don’t know, pick pockets with web slinging or uses his Spidey sense to gamble or something.

The night Stan goes to the gymnasium to brood about Ford leaving him, one of the spiders gets out and bites him. Stan panics and knocks over the case of spiders. Stan fixes it, puts the spider carcass back in the case, thinking Ford will never know what happened. But the next day, Ford finds all the spiders are gone because Stan accidentally cracked the case. West Coast Tech is not impressed and the principle has to call an exterminator because now there are a bunch of genetically altered spiders on the loose.

Meanwhile, Stan’s senses are going haywire and he’s freaking out. When Ford comes home, Stan tires to explain what’s happening to him, but Ford doesn’t buy it, thinking he’s making it up so he won’t be so angry. Stan still gets kicked out, and Ford scraps the project because it just reminds him of Stan.

Running as a conning man

sling a web, Grift that Guy

with Cops coming, he spidy-climbs

Look Out!

There Goes Spider-Stan!

I would also like to through out the idea of, as Stan is using his powers and abilities for gifting, salvaging, and going whatever he can to get by, rumors and word spread around. Some muggers were stuck to a wall by strange white string. People swore they saw a man climb up the side of the building, even if it is flat as glass. And with the cops chasing stan for his….illegal doings……word spreads that the MIB are trying to catch the creature.

Spider-Stan becomes the equivalent of Bigfoot and the Moth-Man.

And with Ford researching everything he can about the weird, seeing multiple articles about a humaniod spider running across country would gain his interest, wouldn’t it?

Just a thought.

Also a thought on the origin story, I like it. But if the spiders all escaped, does that mean that, someone else could have been bitten? Or that there are one or two still running around after most of them were killed?

Second, when ford does catch up to Stan, do they move to gravity falls? I mean yeah its secluded for Ford’s research purposes, but there isn’t exactly a lot of tall buildings there for stan to spidy climb. Unless Stan gets use to swinging in the trees (now I’m imagining Stan foing the Tarzan yell while swinging)

But most importantly, I think I figured out a way to get the AU’s name in canon. So lets say that Stan is on the run from not only troubke caused by his criminal background, but also all the people who are looking for this ‘Arach-Man’ (a name he sure as hell didnt pick). He then ran into some guy in an ally that is surrounded by thugs. Stan doesn’t really want to get involved, but he can’t help himself and dives right in. The thugs who Stan from 'previous dealings’, and they call his name, start fighting, and Stan saves the day using his spider powers. When the cops come, he crawls up the building and gets away.

So the guy he saved, one minute he was about to get mugged or worse, but then he gets saved by a guy that can climb walls and shoot webs and (for some reason) is named Stan. So he starts spreading that there is a hero with spider powers running around named Stan.

So now there are two names for him: The mythical humanoid spider crypid named Arach-Man, and the spider superhero called Spider-Stan. The former name is a lot more spread out than the latter, but the Spider-Stan term is still prevelent in certain areas (specifically the areas where Stan did end up using his powers to help someone for good)

Really I want this to be a thing because I want Ford to go into an area known for Arach-Man sightings, meeting up with Stan, still not getting it then hearing the second name Spider-Stan, where Ford goes either into denial or still doesnt add 2 and 2 together, until Stan reveals his powers to Ford.
