#stan overboard

"There wasn’t supposed to ever be a last time. Not really."

First it's his house, his lab, a perfect place for him to explore things as weird as him but Bill turns it into the set of his nightmares. Where he's tortured physically and mentally. Where he's losing his mind. Where he's tricked into bring the apocalypse because he couldn't resist being told everything he wanted to hear. Where he was finally pushed into Hell by his own brother.

Then, when he finally makes it home it's been turned into some cheep mockery of his life's work by the person who pushed him into Hell.

But, as he slowly let's himself trust the people, the kind strangers around him and learns their stories - How Soos found purpose and a father thanks to this Shack, how Wendy found an escape from her stressful home life. How Stan found stability and saftey and a purpose, how the town found new members and a pillar of its community, how Dipper found the wonderful Weirdness that drew Ford in and how Mabel found new friends, new family, and new adventures as chaotic as she is.

Then he sees it. He sees the Mystery Shack in all its tacky, scummy, scam-riddled glory. He sees how it brought Ford home.
