1.) if Y!Ford had met O!Stan first he would definitely take longer to piece things together especially considering the O!Twins got here through a rift in space?? LOL but Y!Ford isn't stupid, one look at O!Stan through his binoculars he knew she was who she was. People often say that they took after their father so much, while this may be a coincidence where he met a relative from his dad's side, being in a perfect spying spot where the O!Ford also just happens to be while crying her heart out was just so obvious that Y!Ford is like : 😲😲😲 instead of : 🤯🤯🤯 LMAOAOAO

2.) I haven't really thought about addressing Constance crying in the comic much but you can definitely see her try to deflect and try to put her walls up in the next few installments as she fixes up her looks and tries the self deprecating jokes that she always uses on herself and Y!Ford clocks on that IMMEDIATELY no sad gilf sister on his watch!! 😾💥💥💥

- But I figured this Stan wouldn't be as dismissive as someone seeing her crying like Canon!Stan. She doesn't cry much especially in her grifter days because most of the bad people she's around would more likely take delight in her tears than compassion but she definitely isn't above using her feminine wiles against the public since people are more likely to feel pity for a girl/woman than if C!Stan would have tried this. So she's pretty comfortable in her femininity and doesn't try to reject it as much like when she was under Filbrick's roof but when she felt the stability of peace under Ford's cabin her tears became a private thing not something to use to dupe unsuspecting joggers or clerks nearby or the man that bought her for a night that had dacryphilia, no. Tears were to grieve, to mourn, and to FEEL especially with her headspace in the past with Ford's portal-ization she didn't want to let anyone see her cry because it felt like acknowledging that she was breaking apart. Sometimes she didn't even let HERSELF see her face crying in the mirror because she felt the need to fool even herself that she's okay and that she can fix this because if she gave up Ford would be gone forever because she didn't even TRY. She would bring him back even if it's the last thing she does!!

- And she did!! So tears weren't only to grieve anymore, it was used to feel joy! And being around Dipper and Mabel definitely helped with that especially after weirdmagedon where she's vulnerable and in a blank state people had to continue telling her that it was okay to let others know how she felt because how would others help otherwise so it ends up in being one big cuddle pile between all of them <333 🥰🥰🥰

The whole Pines gang chilling on the floor with the addition of Soos and Wendy in a cuddle pile watching some random soap opera Stan currently likes : 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Stan randomly : Holy shit I just remembered I snorted drugs off a camel's back in mexico???

The others : 😦😦😦😦????

So now they get these random bits of Stan's life and they're like a nuke bomb LMAO because Stan doesn't have the word moderation in her vocabulary and it's either she doesn't tell them anything at all or she's telling them everything in gruesome detail LMAOOOOOOO
