In the Gravity Falls fandom, I’ve come across many posts comparing Ford to an owl, or jokingly calling him one. I haven’t yet seen any other characters get this treatment outside Monster Falls AUs, and wondered what their counterparts would be, especially Stan.
After thinking it over, I propose that Stan is a crow.
Crows, at least in Western culture, get a bad reputation. They’re considered thieves and tricksters, known for stealing shiny things. Long-held superstitions claim crows are bringers of bad luck. They’re often an unwelcome sight to humans.
But behind the notoriety, crows are highly intelligent. They’re among the less than 1% of animal species that have been observed to use tools. Studies show crows can successfully solve multi-step problems and puzzle boxes. They can remember human faces, and communicate that knowledge to other members of their groups. Crows hold grudges for years, and will sometimes attack people their groups deem dangerous. They’re fiercely loyal to their family members. Who does that sound like?
In other words, they’re not what they seem - a perfect match for Stan!

I am currently LOSING MY MIND about Suburban Legends because this is genuinely one of the most Billford songs I’ve ever heard
I love leaving little drawings of Bill Cipher everywhere I go in hopes one day someone will find them and be spooked. It's all I want in this life
“all my comfort characters have killed someone at least once” is actually a statistical error. most of my comfort characters have never killed anyone. Murders Bill, who lives in the nightmare realm and has killed like 7 trillion people, is an outlier adn

I had worried they’d make her not be purple
I think this version is cute, though. She looks vaguely froglike. But we don’t know that it’s her
Technically not a line, but I have never stopped thinking about William. Ford was down BAD
Same idea as before, but this time it’s lines from Journal 3 that have absolutely no right being as queer as they are. I’ll start:
“I am strange. I was born strange, I am attracted to the strange, and the strange has always been attracted to me.”
